Chapter 518: Drunk and Making Trouble
"I just got back. If you're not busy, would you like to have dinner with your brother?" Kong Mingxue sat directly opposite Jiang Fubao as if he had come to his own home.
"Okay, but not now. A regular customer comes for acupuncture at the end of the afternoon, and I have to wait for her. Brother Mingxue, you go first. I'll come find you when I'm done." Jiang Fubao looked at the sun and said slowly.
"Okay, I'll go order the food first. Does Fubao want to eat anything?" Kong Mingxue stood up and left, but before he walked out, he turned back and asked her.
"I want to eat mutton hotpot and braised pork with cabbage. You can order the rest, brothers. Don't order too much. Even the two of us and Arya can't finish it."
As Jiang Fubao's personal "bodyguard", Pan Erya naturally had to go wherever Jiang Fubao went and eat with him.
Jiang Fubao is not a bad master who treats his servants harshly.
"Okay, brother, remember this. I'll go first. Be careful on the road and don't take the side roads. It gets dark early. Be careful of bad guys. Erya, protect Fubao." Kong Mingxue came over suddenly and left within a quarter of an hour.
Not long after he left, three patients came into the clinic one after another.
Jiang Fubao also started to get busy.
At that time, two figures came out from the front door of Jiang's residence one after another.
"Miss, I just told you that I could come back and get it myself. You insisted on following me, walking back and forth. You must be very tired." Jiang Wangyou's personal maid Quan'er frowned and said with concern.
"It's okay. It's boring to stay in the shop all the time. I'll just take a walk. This pair of embroidered shoes is for Miss Li to wear on her wedding day. I can't get them dirty. If they get dirty, wouldn't it ruin her wedding?"
These wealthy families are most superstitious about this. If the shoes are dirty, it is unlucky. I will come back to pick them up in person, so that I can feel at ease." Jiang Wangyou was holding a pair of shoes, which were wrapped in a thick layer of coarse cloth.
"Miss, you don't trust me? Quan'er doesn't agree." Quan'er started to act coquettishly.
She pouted, angry that her master didn't trust her.
"It's not that I don't trust you, but this matter cannot be taken lightly. You know that I am the most cautious. Okay, don't think too much. Let's go. The Li family has set the time and we will be here soon." Jiang Wangyou smiled and quickened his pace.
Just as the master and servant reached the fork in the road at the end of Wuzhi Street and were about to go to Xibu Street, a man stopped them.
"Forget your worries, I finally see you." Familiar face, familiar voice.
Jiang Wangyou's face changed drastically.
Quan'er quickly stood in front of Jiang Wangyou and looked at the person opposite him with a vigilant look.
"I hope Mr. Qian will stop talking nonsense. I have nothing to do with you. Get out of the way. I have something to do. Don't bother me." Jiang Wangyou said with a cold face. Her Youran Embroidery Shop has been open for some time. During this period, she has met all kinds of customers. Her temperament is no longer as timid as before.
"How can it be unrelated? Don't we have feelings for each other? Sister Wangyou, your hands are so soft and white. I still want to hold them. Sister Wangyou, how can you leave me? Could it be that you have another lover? Are you cheating on me? Otherwise, why didn't you come to see me for so long? Didn't you promise me that you would marry me?"
Qian Liangjie seemed to have drunk too much.
His cheeks flushed as he spoke such words in front of the people coming and going.
The sound was so loud that if you didn't know, you would think the two of them had already gotten together without any mediation.
Jiang Wangyou was so angry that he cried on the spot.
"You scoundrel, stop talking nonsense. When did the young lady have any contact with you? You have never met alone. Yes, you almost got engaged before, but didn't you go to a brothel? If you hadn't gone to a brothel, how could the marriage be cancelled? A person like you is not worthy of marrying our young lady. After so much time has passed, you still want to get involved with our young lady. What is your intention?"
Don't believe him, look at him, he stinks of alcohol, he must have just come out of a brothel, this kind of person is not even worthy of my young lady's little finger, how dare you covet my young lady?" Seeing Jiang Wangyou crying, Quan'er felt so distressed, she put her left hand on her waist and pointed at Qian Liangjie's nose with her right hand and cursed.
When Qian Liangjie saw the crowd gathering, he immediately became malicious and wanted to slander Jiang Wangyou in front of everyone, saying that he had broken her body, so that Jiang Wangyou would have no choice but to marry him.
God knows how miserable his life has been.
Although his family ran a grain store, he had to take care of his eldest brother's family, so life was very tight. Ever since the quarrel between the two families, his mother found a matchmaker from Lin County to find girls for him, but after looking around, she couldn't find any one who was as good as Jiang Wangyou.
Either they have some money but are ugly, or they are good-looking but have nothing at home.
There are also those who want to find a son-in-law, but they require him to live in the woman's home, and he and the children must take the woman's family name. It's frustrating just thinking about it.
Besides, his family wealth was not as good as Jiang's, and they were only willing to give him twenty taels as a betrothal gift.
He couldn't find a suitable girl, his parents were angry with him, and he had no money to go to a brothel.
Qian Liangjie could only go to the bar from time to time to buy the cheapest wine to escape reality.
When he suddenly met Jiang Wangyou today, the resentment in his heart was amplified to the maximum under the influence of alcohol.
He wanted to destroy Jiang Wangyou so that she would not be able to get married. Then he could take advantage of the situation to propose marriage to the Jiang family. He would have both the shop and the house, and he wouldn't even have to come to the family's home. It was simply the best of both worlds.
"Hmph, I'm tired of touching your young lady's hands. Tsk tsk, who else can this rotten thing that I've touched marry if not me? Her body has long been, ah——"
Just as Qian Liangjie was about to say that he had violated Jiang Wangyou's body, a man suddenly appeared beside him and punched him in the cheek.
The pain sobered him up a lot.
"Watch your tongue. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will put you in jail for the rest of your life!" Kong Mingxue grabbed his collar and threatened him viciously.
"Who are you?" Qian Liangjie's arrogance was much reduced.
It is really because Kong Ming's knowledge is too high and too strong.
Standing in front of him, Qian Liangjie was like a little chick. If a fight broke out, he would probably be knocked unconscious by a few punches.
Besides, his cheek still hurt, and he didn't want to feel it again.
Because his collar was pulled, his heels were off the ground and he was standing on tiptoe with great effort, which looked very funny.
"Who am I? I am your ancestor! Before you cause trouble, think about whether you can bear the consequences. The Jiang family has the support of the county magistrate, do you dare to offend them? If you don't want to die, stop making trouble, otherwise I will send you to see the county magistrate!" Worried that he would talk nonsense again, Kong Mingxue continued to threaten him with his fist waved.
After completely sobering up, Qian Liangjie finally realized what he had done.
Yes, the Jiang family is protected by Lord Zhixian. Even if he destroys Jiang Wangyou in front of these people, he will not be able to get away with it if Lord Zhixian intervenes.
