The female disciple was speechless for a moment.
What are you pretending for?
If I don't accept it, our garden owner will blame me!
"Senior Brother Yu, I appreciate your kindness, but it depends on who sends it. If it's from an ordinary person, even if it's a mountain of gold and silver, our Master wouldn't accept it. But if it's from—"
He glanced at Jing Zhe and then smiled, "If Young Master Jing personally delivered these, then these wild rabbits and pheasants are truly delicacies. If I don't accept them, our Master of the Garden might be unhappy later!"
"..."
The man's expression darkened further.
This is such blatant discrimination!
Are you guys so blatant about having affairs?
Without a word, she walked over and snatched the game from the disciple's hand, saying fiercely, "You guys are getting more and more unruly! Taking advantage of Senior Sister's absence, you secretly do these little tricks behind her back?"
He spat in their direction and said, "Pah! Let me tell you, you might succeed when I'm not around, but when I am, don't even think about it! Once my senior sister has rested and her headache is better, I'll tell her and see if she doesn't punish you!"
The man threatened the female disciples fiercely, expecting them to be frightened by his words. However, the two seemed completely unconcerned. The female disciple looked at him and smiled, while the handsome man pointed at her with a disdainful expression, his face cold.
"Put your things down."
"..."
The man felt a chill run down his spine when the man pointed at him, but then he thought, "Who am I? Why should I be afraid of this nobody?"
Then, emboldened, he said, "Put it down? Dream on! Don't even think about defiling my senior sister with this rubbish! Let me tell you, if you know what's good for you, get out of here now and never set foot in Wuxian Garden again, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Oh, how exactly are you being impolite?"
"..."
The man was taken aback, not expecting Jing Zhe to be so audacious. He narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Do you know who my father is?"
"I don't know who your father is, but I do know that if you don't let go, I can beat you until you don't even know who your father is!"
As he spoke, Jing Zhe gestured towards Hanhan, and the tall, burly Hanhan walked up to the man with a blank expression. He was as heavy as a steel wall, and the pressure was so strong that the man's breathing became rapid.
But she still stubbornly insisted, "You...you dare!"
"Ha, you have good taste, knowing I dare."
With that, Jing Zhe pointed at Hanhan and shouted, "Get him!"
The simpleton walked up to him, but didn't actually do anything to him.
She just nudged him, not even with much force, and he fell to the ground, like someone trying to stage an accident.
Jing Zhe ignored him and had Hanhan return the game to the female disciple, saying casually, "This wild pheasant runs around in the mountains every day, so its meat is probably quite firm. Stew it a little longer!"
The female disciple nodded and sent someone to clean up in the kitchen.
"You actually... dare to do that?"
The man got up from the ground, still somewhat incredulous.
But at the same time, his eyes turned icy cold: "I'll make you pay for offending me! I'll make you regret it!!"
Jing Zhe nodded and calmly said, "Okay, I understand."
"..."
One sentence left the man with a throbbing pain in his chest.
In fact, Jing Zhe also found it strange. This guy was clearly a disciple of Wuxian Pavilion, which was why he called Hanhan to go up. Who knew that he didn't know any martial arts at all and would fall down with a push.
If I had known this would happen, I would have gone myself.
Moreover, he's not so afraid of his threats now.
After tomorrow, he will be a figure of importance in the imperial court. Why would Wuxian Pavilion cause him trouble over such a private matter?
Besides, technically he's the son-in-law of the Wuxian Pavilion...
When he thought of his son-in-law, he thought of Wang Yingqiu.
Thinking of Wang Yingqiu, he felt he should go to bed... oops, he should go upstairs...
Not wanting to waste any more time with such a useless person, before he could even head upstairs, he saw Wang Yingqiu appear at the second-floor railing. She glanced at him with tenderness, then hurriedly walked downstairs.
He appeared beside Jing Zhe shortly afterward, carefully looked him up and down, and seeing that he was alright, his heart finally settled down, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked, "Are you done competing?"
"The competition is over."
"You won?"
"No, it's a draw."
"As long as everyone is safe, winning or losing doesn't matter..."
"Um."
Before today, Wang Yingqiu had never been so nervous and worried. She would come downstairs soon to ask someone to go out and inquire.
If someone hadn't suddenly come to visit, she probably wouldn't have gone upstairs.
At this moment, the two looked at each other with deep affection.
If there weren't any third wheels around, she would have loved to wrap her arms around his neck and cling to him...
But the light bulb felt a strange pressure.
Light Bulb Number One: Having been around Jing Zhe for so long, the simple-minded boy was quite sensible. Seeing that things weren't going well, he took the initiative to say, "Young Master, let me go to the kitchen and see if I can help out!"
He then ran away as if fleeing.
Light Bulb Number Two, however, didn't have this awareness. Seeing the two gazing at each other affectionately, he felt something was off and thought that Wang Yingqiu and this boy seemed to have some kind of relationship!
But he couldn't understand why this was happening.
In terms of appearance, although he was better than me, my family background was definitely far superior to his!
Even though he didn't know what Jing Zhe's family did, he had heard the female disciple call him "Young Master Jing," and he had never heard of any powerful minister with the surname Jing in the current court.
The burly man had called him "Young Chieftain," and his behavior suggested he wasn't from a wealthy family; he seemed more like a bandit!
Could it be that Wang Yingqiu prefers someone a bit rough around the edges and doesn't like his gentle and refined manner?
You should have said so earlier! I could have done it too!
Seeing that this third wheel seemed to be lost in thought, Jing Zhe sighed. He couldn't do anything about someone so oblivious, so he reached out to take Wang Yingqiu's hand, preparing to go upstairs...
Seeing the lustful look in Jing Zhe's eyes, Wang Yingqiu immediately understood his thoughts. She shyly dodged his hand, inwardly cursing him as a "bad guy," but said aloud, "I heard you brought two pheasants and a rabbit? I happen to have some... tonics. I'll take them to the kitchen and stew them, so you can taste my cooking!"
He then ran away.
"..."
In fact, what Jing Zhe was thinking about was exactly what Wang Yingqiu, who had already tasted the sweetness of success, also wanted to do.
But the timing isn't right!
It's almost lunchtime!
Most importantly, there was this annoying and inconsiderate person downstairs, and Wang Yingqiu was afraid that someone might suddenly barge in...
