Just when she was about to see Gu Qing's face, Chen Zhizhou stood in front of her.
"what you do?"
I almost saw it!
Wu Xian'er glared at Chen Zhizhou angrily.
Perhaps it was because his presence was too low in the jewelry store, or perhaps it was because his face was covered with a thick layer of medicine, Wu Xian'er did not recognize him at all.
Wu Xian'er frowned and spoke in a sharp and harsh tone.
The more they tried to hide things, the more she felt there was something wrong between them!
Chen Zhizhou protected Gu Qing behind him tightly, his voice low and without any emotion.
"Miss, we are not servants of your mansion. On the contrary, we are invited guests, with the same status as you. You treat us like this, aren't you afraid that Master Zhao will get angry if he finds out?"
Even though his true appearance was covered up, it was still difficult to conceal his innate righteousness.
"You are just a lowly person, how dare you compare yourself to me!"
Wu Xian'er had a fierce look in her eyes, and held her head high. Every word and action of hers was a show of her superiority.
She glanced at Chen Zhizhou's yellow and dirty face again, her eyes full of disgust, and at the same time she couldn't help but blame Zhao Qi in her heart.
I don’t know what’s wrong with this cousin today. He is not smart enough to bring such a person into the Duke’s Mansion.
Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?
"Kneel down and kowtow three times now, or else..."
She snorted coldly, her eyes full of cruelty.
Chen Zhizhou stood still, his body like a towering and majestic mountain. His cold eyes narrowed slightly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"What's that expression on your face?"
What happened today? Why are there people against me wherever I go?
Now even a pariah can treat her like this!
Wu Xian'er's head was buzzing with anger. She turned around and angrily ordered her servants, "Are you all dead?"
"Can't you see how he contradicted me? Tie them both up for me!"
The servants looked at each other, but no one moved.
Although Wu Xian'er is a young lady from the cousin's family, these two people were invited back by the eldest son. His words made it clear that they were distinguished guests and should be treated well.
They dare not offend either side!
Seeing that her orders were ineffective, Wu Xian'er was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.
Her lips were slightly open and she was breathing heavily. She didn't care about the injury on her right hand and rushed to Chen Zhizhou in two steps. Just when she was about to raise her hand, the door was pushed open from the inside.
Zhao Qi came out leisurely and happened to see this scene.
"stop!"
Seeing that Wu Xian'er still wanted to attack the guests he invited in his own home, he immediately frowned and shouted at her.
"Cousin~"
Wu Xian'er was caught off guard by Zhao Qi's appearance.
Seeing him get angry, she was stunned for a moment, hurriedly withdrew her hand, opened her mouth, and wanted to explain.
Although she looked down on her sickly cousin, she was very satisfied with her marriage to him. When her aunt said that the marriage was off, she was extremely panicked.
Now that he saw Zhao Qi coming out, he naturally wanted to make amends.
Zhao Qi felt extremely disgusted when he saw his cousin showing a gentle and coquettish look towards him for the first time.
"How do you do things?"
Zhao Qi coldly shook off Wu Xian'er's hand. Instead of saying anything more, he looked at the servants in the mansion. It seemed that he was blaming them for their poor performance, but in fact he was humiliating Wu Xian'er in disguise.
She naturally heard it, and her face suddenly became embarrassed, tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked aggrieved.
"Cousin, what on earth do you mean today?"
Why did he become a different person after going out and come back, bullying and humiliating her everywhere?
Zhao Qi looked at her pitiful appearance, but felt no pity in his heart. Instead, he felt annoyed and his tone became more and more impatient.
"I don't understand what you're saying!"
He turned around and ordered the servants sternly, "Why don't you escort Miss Tang out of the house?"
The servants watched their two masters quarreling, keeping their heads down the whole time, not daring to say a word, until they heard the eldest young master speak, then they looked timidly at the young lady.
Wu Xian'er bit her lips tightly, feeling extremely ashamed and angry.
"No, I can go on my own. Zhao Qi, remember this: from now on, even if you invite me in a sedan chair carried by eight people, I won't come again!"
She said this angrily, covered her face and ran away quickly.
Not until she left completely did Gu Qing stand out from behind Chen Zhizhou and breathe a sigh of relief.
"By the way, Mr. Huang was just called away by your aunt!"
When Zhao Qi heard this, his heart sank, and his dark eyes gradually became covered with a layer of coldness.
"Where did they go?"
Gu Qing was naturally not surprised by his reaction and took the initiative to lead the way for him.
…
Back mountain.
Zhao Fang and Huang Lao stood face to face, both with serious expressions, their lips moving, and it was unknown what they were arguing about fiercely.
"Old man, you'd better think carefully!"
Zhao Fang's eyebrows were furrowed, and his tone was full of cruelty, as if if Mr. Huang refused to agree, he would immediately pull out a knife from his sleeve and stab him to death.
"You, you, you, aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this?"
Mr. Huang seemed to be frightened by her viciousness and shamelessness, and was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly.
Zhao Fang sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm.
"Tsk tsk tsk, look at you, you're already quite old, but how come you still speak so naively and so funny!"
retribution!
She has never believed in Buddhism in her life, and even less in retribution. She only believes in herself.
"You can try and see whether my retribution comes faster or you die faster!"
Zhao Fang curled his lips, his smile was cold, and his tone was full of determination.
Old Huang frowned and was about to continue arguing with her, but he heard footsteps coming closer and closer, and would soon be reaching them.
He pursed his lips, stopped talking, and narrowed his eyes, with an ambiguous expression.
Zhao Fang was very surprised by his inexplicable change. Just as he was about to continue threatening him, his peripheral vision caught sight of Zhao Qi, Gu Qing and Chen Zhizhou approaching them.
Her pupils suddenly sank, and she swallowed all the words she was about to say. She did not forget to glare at Mr. Huang fiercely, as if threatening him not to talk nonsense.
Soon, Zhao Qi came to their side.
"Aunt, my cousin has left, why are you still here?"
Zhao Qi feigned surprise and scanned the two of them with his cold eyes. "You even called the doctor I hired to this deserted corner. What do you want to do?"
Zhao Fang met his scrutinizing gaze, her eyelids twitched violently, and her eyes flickered.
Although he felt guilty, he still straightened his neck and said, "I've had a severe headache these past few days. I heard you hired a miracle doctor, so I thought I'd ask you something."
"It can be considered as a try to help your mother first!"
Listening to her extremely hypocritical words, Zhao Qi felt sick in his heart, and his brows were full of undisguised disgust.
