Chapter 93 I Can Go Even Further
By the time Xie Yuduo finished dealing with the matter and returned to the room, it was already dark.
Chen Qi was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. Xiao Ling was sitting on a low stool above the bed, fanning her.
Xie Yuduo walked in, raised his hand to signal her not to make a sound, sent her out, took off his coat, walked over lightly, and fanned her with a fan.
Chen Qi was not asleep to begin with. When she heard the noise, she looked up and found it was him.
"You're back."
When Xie Yuduo saw her raise her eyes, he took her hand and took a closer look.
"Does your hand still hurt?"
Chen Qi smiled helplessly and shook her head.
"I hit him, and you ask me if it hurts."
Xie Yuduo smiled and kissed the palm of her hand.
"Second Madam is so majestic today. I'm afraid it will spoil your mood. Let's watch her carefully outside for a while."
"It's okay if you don't come today. I won't stand there stupidly and let others bully me."
"Having said that, the maids around you are too useless. You have to let Xiao Ling follow you all the time. That girl is a bit more aggressive, so I feel more at ease."
Shen Qi shook her head.
"Those little kids have only been away from their parents for a few days. Learning to serve tea and water is already a rare skill, but who could have imagined they'd encounter something like this?"
As she spoke, Shen Qi touched his hand.
"Thank you very much."
"It's my fault. I didn't keep my family safe. I made you busy all these days, and now you have to endure this wrath."
Chen Qi smiled and nodded slightly, still in the mood to joke.
"It's truly your fault. I heard it all today: those relatives and friends were openly and covertly defending you. They probably thought I wasn't worthy of the renowned Second Master of the Xie family, and they wanted you to divorce me in anger and marry someone more worthy of you."
"Bah, listen to their nonsense. If you are not worthy, I can only go to the Queen Mother's house to propose marriage."
"Why……"
She lay back on the pillow and sighed softly.
"It's really hard to be your daughter-in-law. Why do people in your family always dislike me? Is it because I'm not doing a good enough job?"
Xie Yuduo reached out and pinched her cheek.
"First, they're not from my family. Second, dogs always bite people. Does that mean people are bad?"
Chen Qi listened and smiled faintly.
Xie Yuduo took the opportunity to ask her, "I was listening outside the door. You and that old woman were rushing to ask the old lady and father to come and judge the matter. But it would have been fine if that old woman didn't call me, but why didn't you call me?"
Chen Qi knew he would ask sooner or later, so she quickly said, "I was so angry at the time that I thought my grandmother and father would do justice for me, and I forgot to ask you."
In fact, she knew Xie Yuduo's temper. He didn't get angry easily, but when he did, he would make a big fuss. She was afraid that he would offend his family and friends for her own sake and get a bad reputation.
Xie Yuduo saw that she was in a better mood, but still looked gloomy, so he sighed.
"I see you still don't look well."
"I think I've caught a heat stroke. I'm wearing heavy clothes today, but it's killing me. I need to rest for a few days. Please ask Grandma for leave for me."
He leaned over and touched her forehead with his own. Fortunately, she didn't have a fever.
"You don't have to tell me. I've already told everyone that no one will bother you these days. But you look so weak and tired, I'm afraid you're angry. I'd better ask someone to call a doctor to take a look."
Chen Qi felt sick when she heard the word "doctor" and refused to let him in.
"I'm much better now. It's not worth calling a doctor. I just want to drink the red bean and lily soup with ice that was served at the banquet today. If you have any at home, please send a bowl."
After hearing this, Xie Yuduo really asked someone to bring a bowl and fed her mouthful by mouthful. Seeing that she was indeed feeling better, he sent her to sleep peacefully.
After working hard for several days, Chen Qi slept very deeply and slept until dawn the next day.
It was just dawn and Xie Yuduo was still sleeping beside her, with the fan lying on the side. I don’t know how long he had been fanning her last night.
Chen Qi had just woken up and was about to get up when she heard low voices outside the door.
It was vague and sounded like Xiaowu's voice.
Hearing the noise outside, Xie Yuduo seemed to be about to wake up. Seeing this, Chen Qi wanted to play with him, so she pretended to be still asleep.
Xie Yuduo got up and saw Chen Qi lying there motionless. He really thought she was still sleeping, so he got dressed and went out to talk to Xiao Wu.
Chen Qi got out of bed quietly without wearing shoes, tiptoed outside, and prepared to hide behind the door so as to scare him when he entered.
Unexpectedly, I heard two people talking at the door.
Xiaowu was reporting the task assigned to him by his second master yesterday. His voice was not loud and could only be heard vaguely.
"Last night... I found a thug passing by... pretended to bump into him... and beat him up until his skin was torn to pieces..."
Xie Yuduo also lowered his voice.
"Well done, there will be a reward later."
When Xiaowu heard that there was a reward, he couldn't suppress the joy in his voice.
"I was just venting Second Madam's anger, which is what I should do... We'll just give this shameless villain who came to cause trouble a beating, which is considered light..."
The sound of their conversation came from time to time, making Chen Qi tremble with fear.
Oh my god, he got beaten again?
She did not feel sorry for the bad guys, but she knew that her family was becoming increasingly wealthy and was in the spotlight, so she was worried that her husband would get into a difficult lawsuit.
Xie Yuduo sent Xiaowu back, and as soon as he entered the door, he found Chen Qi standing behind it.
He frowned slightly and reached out to carry her back.
"When did you wake up? Why did you come down without shoes?"
Chen Qi was a little angry and dodged his hand.
"Did you ask someone to beat him up again?"
Xie Yuduo didn't expect that Chen Qi heard it, so he was frank and nodded.
"No?"
Chen Qi shook her head, she felt that it was not possible.
…
Xie Yuduo's brows furrowed.
Shen Qi cried so hard yesterday, but she still refused to let herself beat up that Xu family kid. Could it be that she couldn't bear to part with him?
Chen Qi also frowned slightly.
Even if Mrs. Zhao was a wicked woman, she wouldn't chase after someone and beat them up, right? If she got into trouble, it would bring unrest to the family.
…
Shen Qi was barefoot, turned around and sat on the chair, with a complaining tone in her voice.
"Although I was angry, I fought back at the time. Now that you've stood up for me, my anger has mostly subsided. Yesterday, you scolded her and chased her away in front of everyone. Why did you even come to her house and beat her up?"
Xie Yuduo frowned.
"Because I want to beat him up. How dare he come to my house and humiliate my wife? I'm going to beat him up so that he never dares to come to my house again!"
Seeing Xie Yuduo's eyes full of anger, Chen Qi knew that he was trying to vent his anger, so her voice softened a bit.
"She had already been driven away by you then. After being scolded like that by you yesterday, I'm sure she won't dare come again. You're... a bit too much."
Xie Yuduo thought she was defending Xu You, and his face turned cold and hard.
"I don't think so. I think it could be even more extreme."
Xie Yuduo was angry.
That thief actually dared to come to his house and harass Chen Qi in front of everyone. He only had him beaten up and spared his life. This was all out of respect for Doctor Zhuo.
But Chen Qi blamed him too much.
Could it be that she still has some feelings for her childhood sweetheart and ex-fiancé, and is afraid that she might have taken revenge on him and hurt him?
But Chen Qi had a different mind.
She knew Xie Yuduo's revengeful nature, and she could also guess his omnipotent means in Pingshan County.
It is said that it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain.
She had bullied me yesterday, and tonight she was beaten black and blue. Who wouldn't see that this was the Xie family's trick? If this caused a murder case to happen to my family, wouldn't it be detrimental to my family and my business?
At this moment, Xie Yuduo saw that her face was a little pale and tears were flowing again. He had to suppress his anger and wipe her tears with a handkerchief.
"I know what's going on, and I didn't kill anyone..."
Chen Qi was worried about him and was still confused.
"If our family gets into trouble due to this impulsive action..."
Xie Yuduo sneered.
"Oh, I can win any lawsuit."
Chen Qi looked at his rebellious expression and became even angrier when she saw that he didn't care about human life.
"I know that Mr. Xie is a man of great power throughout Pingshan County, but this is a matter of life and death, and you are too..."
Seeing that her forehead was sweating again, Xie Yuduo took out a fan from his arms and fanned her while continuing to talk back.
"What, are you blaming me?"
"Yes, I blame you. No matter how much you want to vent your anger, you shouldn't hit others, let alone hit them so hard."
Xie Yuduo felt his heart turn cold.
"Do you blame me for hitting someone, or do you blame me for hitting him?"
Chen Qi was so angry that she didn't even notice his jealousy.
"It's all my fault. You shouldn't hit anyone, even if it was her. Although she is really hateful, after all, we have known each other since childhood, and there is some affection between our two families."
"We've known each other since childhood, do we have a connection?"
Xie Yuduo felt great pain in his heart, clenched his teeth, and veins were faintly visible on his forehead - compared to himself, the boy from the Xu family and she were indeed familiar with each other since childhood.
