"That's because of the master's instructions."
“I don’t care, I don’t have to leave,” Han Qi said smugly. “I’ll write a letter right now and expose your evil deeds to that bastard Han Yi.”
Upon hearing this, Han Er's face turned green.
He knew that the master couldn't stand not causing trouble for a day.
When trouble comes, they treat us better than the young master. Without any need for it, they kick us aside without hesitation.
"Master, are you sure you want to do this?" Han Er asked unhurriedly. "Coincidentally, I also have something to report to you, young master."
"You dare!" Han Qi slammed his fist on the small table indignantly. "Whoever complains to that brat, I'll skin him alive!"
“What you say is true, sir.”
Han Er didn't refute it; whether he dared or not, they'd find out later.
There's no point in talking about this now. Anyway, the master's thoughts are all written on his face; you can guess them without even thinking.
This matter should have been told to Han Yi long ago. Han Er let him off the hook because Han Qi hadn't abandoned his elder brother. Unexpectedly, Han Qi took advantage of the situation.
As expected, the master still lacks the discipline of the young master.
Seeing this, Han Qi was furious.
He was clearly the head of the household, but all the servants had been bribed by that brat, and he couldn't do anything except spend money.
Look, even Han Er is starting to disobey.
In his anger, Han Qi subconsciously forgot that Han Qi and his men had always acted this way.
They only let Han Qi off the hook when it was a minor skirmish, but when it came to safety, they wouldn't budge an inch. This time, they thought they were absolutely certain of success in going into the mountains, but...
"This is outrageous!" Han Qi sneered. "This family is either you or me. If you don't leave, I will!"
Then, she ran to the kitchen to complain to Jiang Nuan.
“Jiang Meizi, you don’t know how outrageous Han Er is. He’s eaten so much of the Huang family’s grain, but he won’t even do a little work.”
“It’s alright,” Jiang Nuan said without stopping stirring the egg whites. “There are plenty of people at home who can do the work, so we don’t need their help.”
"Ugh, that's not the point. The point is they're disobedient," Han Qi said, still indignant as he recalled what had just happened. "That brat Han Er actually tried to complain, showing no respect for me as his master."
"So," Jiang Nuan stopped what she was doing and asked helplessly, "what does Brother Han want?"
She understood Han Er very well. No one could have it easy to have such a fussy master.
Han Er and his team have protected Han Qi for over a decade, which is quite impressive.
"Well," Han Qi said awkwardly, "Jiang Meizi, why don't you chase them away?"
He refused to believe that Han Er would still have the face to stay if the host kicked him out.
“How is that possible?” Jiang Nuan looked at Han Qi speechlessly. “Even if they’re not protecting you, ordinary guests don’t have the habit of kicking people out.”
"I don't care, I just have to get rid of them. It's either them or me."
“Oh,” Jiang Nuan wasn’t surprised by Han Qi’s words, “Then you should hurry up and pack your things.”
She was actually starting to regret inviting Han Qi to her home.
I shouldn't have acted impulsively and brought back such a troublesome person. If I'm not careful, they might cause trouble.
Fortunately, having learned from the previous lesson, at least Han Qi was kept in line for a few days.
"What do you mean?" Han Qi looked up in surprise. "Jiang Meizi, you don't want your brother anymore?"
“It has nothing to do with me. You said it yourself, it’s either Han Er or the others, it’s either you or them,” Jiang Nuan explained. “I can’t possibly kick people out.”
With a soft sigh, she continued, "Han Yi is still recovering in his room. What will Han Er and the others think if you do this?"
Upon hearing this, Han Qi was stunned.
After a long silence, he said, looking aggrieved, "What should I do? I want to wear face masks with you guys."
Don't think he didn't know that those brats had been gossiping about him behind his back while he wore pink.
If they knew I was wearing a face mask, they'd probably laugh at me.
"You want to put on a face mask?" These words almost made Jiang Nuan choke on her own saliva.
“Yes,” Han Qi’s eyes flashed with excitement, “I’ve been observing for several days, and every time you guys finish applying a face mask, your faces become so moist and tender.”
Even though he didn't want to admit it, Han Qi knew that he was really getting old and his appearance was no longer as handsome as when he was young.
In the past, there weren't many good options besides taking tonics.
Now, he finally sees a glimmer of hope.
He had always wondered why Jiang Nuan looked younger than her peers, and after observing her for a few days, he focused his attention on face masks.
“Sure,” Jiang Nuan replied, regaining her composure. “Once I’ve finished making the cookies, I’ll make you a face mask.”
I always knew Han Qi had a trendy mindset, but I never expected that he would even use face masks.
Sure enough, her ideological awareness still needs improvement; she can't even compare to an ancient person. How can this be acceptable!
"No," Han Qi blushed for once, "It's a little embarrassing for a man like me to put on a face mask."
“There’s nothing to be ashamed of. Men need to take care of themselves too,” Jiang Nuan shook her head. “Otherwise, once the expiration date is over, they’ll be just as ugly as before.”
"Yes, yes, yes," Han Qi clapped his hands excitedly upon hearing this, "That's exactly what I think."
Back in the day, if he took a fancy to someone, all he had to do was curl his lips and wave his folding fan, and beauties would flock to him one after another.
Nowadays, which beauty isn't won over with real money? Even if he's rich and doesn't mind spending it, it still loses a bit of its charm.
All of this is because I'm not as handsome as I was when I was young!
Jiang Nuan was unaware of Han Qi's thoughts. Upon hearing this, she nodded in agreement, "That's the right way to think. Go outside and have some tea first, and I'll get you some later."
“No way,” Han Qi said in frustration, “those brats will definitely laugh at me if they see this.”
“It’s so simple,” Jiang Nuan continued beating the egg whites, “just drag them all down with it, everyone gets a treatment, and no one can laugh at anyone else.”
"Yeah, right," Han Qi slapped his forehead in frustration, "How come I didn't think of that?"
"Because you're such a naive and innocent girl," Jiang Nuan thought to herself.
After finding a solution, Han Qi stopped bothering Han Er and went back to the courtyard to lie down, leisurely drinking tea and eating snacks.
Seeing that Han Qi wasn't making a fuss, Han Er didn't say anything more and stood up straight next to Han Qi.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, it just so happens to completely block out the sunlight.
The Huang family was living a peaceful life, while the Qin family was even more smug and self-satisfied.
In just a few days, the Qin family made a lot of money thanks to their daughter, and the whole family became very proud.
Not only did he wear new clothes, but the house was also often filled with the aroma of meat, and he even bought a silver ring for Qin's mother.
"Honey," Qin's mother said happily, looking at the silver ring on her hand, "why did you buy me a silver ring? It's such a waste. Didn't we say we were saving money to buy a house?"
“Buying a house isn’t a big deal, just a couple of taels of silver,” Qin’s father said smugly, raising his eyebrows. “You’ve been with me for so many years, you’ve done your part, so this silver ring is rightfully yours.”
