Chapter 606 If She Wants, I'll Be Her Mistress
Qiao Xi inserted a long needle into Zhong Yi's acupoint to remove heat and toxins.
Blood was forced out from his fingertips.
Huo Sijiao moved a chair and put her hands on her cheeks, watching Qiao Xi's actions, thinking about what happened tonight: "Brother, can you guys stop talking in riddles? I don't understand what happened tonight."
She really doesn't have enough brains.
"Isn't Lu Yingxue Mr. Zhong's fiancée? Then what harm will the Lu family do to Mr. Zhong?"
These were the questions Qiao Xi wanted to ask, but she already had a vague answer in her heart.
Zhong Yi lifted the bathrobe from her head, and her jade-like face showed a bit of laziness and fatigue.
His voice was even more hoarse. "Because Lu Yingxue wanted to give birth to my child! I don't know if it was Lu Yingxue who gave me the medicine tonight, or Zhong Lingxiao. Maybe both of them did it."
Zhong Yi slowly closed his eyes. "If Lu Yingxue gave birth to my child, it would be very likely that my position as heir would be secured. In the future, the Lu family and his daughter can rely on this child to gain a firm foothold in the Zhong family. Once the old man dies, I will also meet with misfortune. The huge Zhong family will be in the Lu family's pocket."
At that time, who in the entire imperial capital could deal with the Lu family father and daughter?
Huo Sijiao gasped, "How is this any different from the ancient times when powerful relatives seized the throne? Once the daughter gave birth to a prince, she would rebel and ascend the throne! It seems that your Zhong family really has a throne to inherit..."
“No difference.”
Zhong Yi's voice was nasal. "That's what the Lu family is planning. And Zhong Lingxiao just wants to use today's incident to drive a wedge between me and the Lu family. He wants to cause a scandal and make the old man disappointed in me."
The Zhong family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and some of their ideas are outdated.
Even someone as cunning and unpredictable as the old man also has the idea of passing on the family line.
The internal strife within the Zhong family is like the change of feudal dynasties.
It is very dangerous, with traps everywhere, but also opportunities to turn defeat into victory.
"I will thoroughly investigate this matter, show the people of the Imperial Capital their stance, and make Zhong Lingxiao and Lu Yingxue wary of any wrongdoing. I haven't taken action for a long time, so they might have forgotten how I climbed to the top."
This is a deterrent!
Another point is that he did this just to embarrass Lu Yingxue at the engagement party!
Because Ayi and Lu Yingxue from the Moon Village once had an irreconcilable hatred, Grandma Qiao's death was an insurmountable chasm.
"What about you and Ye Ying?" Huo Sijiao asked, "How could a woman risk her own innocence..."
When Zhong Yi heard this, he first looked at Huo Xingzhou with a hint of provocation.
Then he looked at Qiao Xi who was giving him an acupuncture and said seriously, "Ye Ying and I were just having a casual affair, and she just happened to walk in. The Ye family's situation is complicated, and Ye Ying's mother died a long time ago. She was tortured by her stepmother, and the burns on her body were caused by her stepmother telling the nanny to do it."
He explained patiently, but Huo Xingzhou knew that his explanation was not for Huo Sijiao.
"Ye Ying wants to leave her family. Her stepmother wants to use her to get into the Guan family and marry Guan Wenli. If that doesn't work out, she'll give her to Boss Wang, a small real estate developer in the capital."
That was Zhong Lingxiao's lackey, the one who had just challenged Huo Xingzhou.
Zhong Yi said slowly, "She cooperated with me in the play, and I asked her to leave the family. We each got what we needed, and there was no coercion or intimidation."
Huo Sijiao hadn't noticed the strange atmosphere in the room yet, and she complained, "Guan Wenli is such a fool! No wonder Ye Ying resorted to such a desperate measure! How pitiful!"
Her large, lively eyes turned to look at Qiao Xi again: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Why do so many people think that the person in the room is you?"
Qiao Xi was inserting needles and bleeding, saying, "When Master Zhong learned that I was using Chinese medicine, he asked me to come upstairs to give him acupuncture. But the needle bag was with you, so I had to go downstairs to get it. When I went upstairs again, Miss Guan stopped me. She noticed something was wrong and asked me to hide in the bathroom in her room to see what they were going to do. I didn't expect..."
It turned out to be catching an adulterer!
If she really entered the room and was caught by so many people.
When Huo Sijiao heard Miss Guan, her eyes became a little lonely.
Guan Jingtan and Shen Xuanzhi attended the engagement party together, which definitely was not a simple doctor-patient relationship.
She sighed softly and said, "Fortunately, my sister-in-law didn't fall into their trap."
Qiao Xi laughed and said, "They weren't coming for me, they just took me along. Every failure is a lesson learned, I'll be more careful next time."
She pulled out the needles from Zhong Yi's body and said softly, "It's done! But your vitality is severely damaged and you need to rest well. For the time being, you must... abstain from sex. Otherwise, it will damage your foundation. It's best to go to the hospital for another checkup to be safe."
Zhong Yi looked at her, his voice filled with subtle tenderness: "Thank you, Dr. Qiao."
Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "Jiaojiao, take your sister-in-law down to see Miss Ye. This is your first customer, so she needs to be taken care of."
"good!"
Huo Sijiao's sympathy overflowed. "I'll bring an extra dress for Miss Ye to take down. I'm sure her stepmother won't prepare a spare dress for her."
"Sister-in-law, let's go."
She was a bit slow, but Qiao Xi could tell that Huo Xingzhou was trying to get her out of the way on purpose.
She didn't ask any further questions, but packed up her things and said, "It just so happens that Miss Ye wanted to see me to look at her scar anyway."
She slowly walked out of the room and closed the door gently.
Before the door was closed, she looked over and met Zhongyi's passionate eyes.
There was a slight sound of the lock, and the door closed completely.
As soon as the two girls left.
The atmosphere in the room became much more tense.
Zhong Yi supported himself with his arms and sat on the edge of the bed, his voice weak: "Boss Huo, you sent them away, are you going to beat me up?"
Huo Xingzhou's expression was indifferent, his eyes concealing a hint of disdain. "No, I'm trying to enlighten you about your delusions and naiveté. Do you think that remaining a virgin can change anything?"
Those words that had nothing to do with Ye Ying were all explanations to Qiao Xi, expressing his loyalty.
Huo Sijiao and Qiao Xi didn't understand, but he understood it clearly.
Zhong Yi staggered in front of him, and moonlight leaked in through the windowsill.
The flickering light and shadow cast upon his handsome profile. His throat moved slightly, "I only know that if I really did it, there wouldn't be even a shred of possibility left."
Huo Xingzhou said: "There was no chance for you to be together. She has already married me."
Zhong Yi said nonchalantly, "So what if we get married?"
Huo Xingzhou taunted, "Your pride is being a male vixen?"
Zhong Yi just wanted to irritate Huo Xingzhou. She couldn't stand the fact that he was so arrogant and complacent, having gotten the person he cherished most.
"If she wants, I can be her mistress."
All the warm moments in his life were related to Qiao Xi.
That was something he cherished all his life, so what if it was immoral?
Huo Xingzhou approached, his brows lowered and his eyes gloomy: "Who do you take her for?"
Zhong Yi smiled, her jade-like face full of provocation: "Of course I regard her as the apple of my eye."
The atmosphere was even more tense, as if a fight was about to break out at any second.
