...
At the same time, Zui Shan Xuan was in a state of constant commotion, like a frog being boiled in boiling water.
"Gu Ting! We grew up together, and you actually betrayed our decades-long friendship, making me eat these worthless worms!"
The moment the crayfish were served, Guan Yu flew into a rage and overturned the entire table.
The young lady of the Guan family had never seen such a scene before. She was so frightened that she threw herself into her mother's arms and burst into loud sobs.
Guan Sanye glanced at his daughter, frowned, and continued to roar, "Gu Ting, stop pretending to be deaf and dumb. If you don't give me an explanation today, don't blame me for not showing any mercy."
The guests present were all wealthy and influential. Although no one was so angry as to overturn the table, they couldn't help but hurl insults at the Third Master, who was acting like a brute.
It's not scary to use foul language; what's scary is when everyone around you is using foul language on you.
The noise was so loud it made Mr. Gu's scalp tingle; he felt like he had a bunch of croaking toads living in his head.
Especially Guan Yu, who should have a toad head.
Master Gu shouted at the top of his lungs, "Calm down!" but no one paid him any attention.
Mr. Wang was also quite at a loss.
The seven concubines were all so frightened by the table full of crayfish that they cried and sobbed, each with tears streaming down their faces.
Master Wang was like a patrolman, constantly coaxing and cajoling you, offering to buy you good looks and jewelry.
In the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, it cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.
After cursing for a while, Guan Sanye kicked over another chair with a bang. "Gu Ting, you son of a bitch, what kind of man pretends to be deaf and dumb!"
Most of the people here were civil officials, and they were startled by the commotion and subconsciously quieted down.
"Why don't you all listen to what I have to say?"
Just as Master Gu was about to speak, a voice from the corner beat him to it, and he turned around angrily.
He wanted to see who was stealing his lines!
Now, he's been labeled a heartless merchant who pretends to be deaf and dumb for the time being.
Guan Yu had thick eyebrows and large eyes, and his long face made him particularly intimidating. He snorted coldly, "Who are you?"
"I am but a drop in the ocean of humanity," Shen Qingcheng said without revealing his identity.
Lord Guan glanced at Master Gu and said, “Alright, I, Guan, am not an unreasonable person. Please speak, young master.”
He was about to sit down and pretend to listen to Shen Qingcheng when he realized that Shen Qingcheng was kicking his own chair in anger.
Guan Yu had no choice but to continue standing.
Shen Qingcheng said directly, "I would like to say that Master Gu did not deceive you. The crayfish are safe to eat."
As he spoke, he peeled off a crayfish and put it in his mouth to chew.
Shen Qingye stared in disbelief: "Big Brother!"
You can't eat this stuff! If he were really that audacious, he'd want to rip his older brother's mouth open!
But his face was swollen and painful, so he dared not.
Everyone present was also extremely shocked, clearly not expecting this young man to be so brave.
Guan Yu's expression was complicated.
"Mommy, Mommy, what is big brother eating? I want to eat too." Little Radish Head cried until he was tired, and when he looked up, he saw Shen Qingcheng eating crayfish.
Madam Guan: "...My dear, you can't eat this."
Little Radish rubbed his red, tear-filled eyes: "Then why can big brother eat it?"
Mrs. Guan explained in a serious tone: "Because you are a child and he is an adult, only adults can eat."
Upon hearing this, Little Radish Head seemed to suddenly understand a profound truth.
She quickly climbed off her mother's lap, picked up the crayfish that Guan Sanye had knocked over on the ground, and handed it to him, saying, "Father, eat this."
Guan Yu: "..."
Good daughter, you are so filial to your father.
"Old Guan, you see? Crayfish are edible. When have I ever lied to you?" Old Master Gu smiled with narrowed eyes; this reaction was exactly what he expected.
Guan Sanye sneered: "Who knows if it's true or false? What if he's a shill you hired? You're a cunning businessman with a lot of tricks up your sleeve."
Master Gu thought to himself, although he was rich, he was not rich enough to hire the General of the Southern Yan to act as a shill.
But that's not necessarily true. After all, he still interacted with the Yan Emperor, the leader of the martial arts alliance, and the divine physician.
For some reason, at this very unfavorable time, Mr. Gu felt a strange sense of pride.
"Sir, whether you believe it or not, instead of arguing endlessly, why not try it for yourself?"
Suddenly, a clear and melodious voice came from outside the door, like a gurgling spring on the top of a snow-capped mountain, stirring one's heart.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
Before my eyes were two figures, a man and a woman. The woman was charming and graceful, with a smile on her lips, as beautiful as the green willow leaves. The man was aloof and proud, with deep eyes like the sea, as beautiful as a thousand peach blossoms.
The two stood side by side, their auras completely opposite, like fire and water that could not coexist, yet strangely harmonious.
It's so perfect that one would describe it as a match made in heaven.
"What you say sounds nice, young lady. It's not difficult to try, but who can bear the consequences?" The green-clad concubine of Master Wang kept wiping the corners of her eyes with a wet handkerchief in her hand.
"That's right, that's right, try it and you'll die, sir. I'm so young, I don't want to die." The youngest concubine in purple had a soft and sweet voice, which easily evoked pity.
She pouted and cried like a child, shouting that she didn't want to die.
Master Wang immediately released the blue-clad concubine, intending to scold Shen Jiao, but upon seeing the tyrant, he suddenly felt a chill.
Such a dangerous young man.
Master Wang immediately realized that this man in black was not someone to be trifled with. He suppressed his unrealistic thoughts and rushed to comfort Xiao Zi, who was crying her eyes out.
Shen Jiao: Why does it suddenly feel like a kindergarten teacher taking care of children?
This Mr. Wang has quite unique tastes.
The seven fairy maidens' concubines sobbed one after another, which inexplicably sparked a competitive spirit, and as one cried, the other cried even louder.
