Qi Huang didn't even turn his head, but just looked at Shen Mingzhu's miserable appearance and Mrs. Shen's concern and panic in the mirror.
Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows with great pride, "She should be tortured to death. Let's see if she dares to show off again!"
Gu Zhou watched without any expression, observing the jade bracelet on Shen Mingzhu's wrist. No wonder she wore a dress to attend the banquet. It turned out that she had asked for external help to suppress the curse cast by Qi Jing.
Qiu Lan didn't expect that the jade bracelet she gave to Shen Mingzhu was useless and painful. She held Shen Mingzhu's wrist tightly and looked at Qi Jing on the sofa.
"Mingzhu has been punished for so long for her wrongdoings. Moreover, today is Madam Qi's birthday party. Why do you have to harm Mingzhu like this?"
Mrs. Shen also echoed, "Yes, Xiaojing, Mingzhu has already known her mistakes and has been punished, can't you let Mingzhu go?"
"Mrs. Shen, what you said is not true. How long has she suffered? Your own daughter has suffered for seventeen years because of her." Gu Zhou looked at the jade bracelet on Shen Mingzhu's wrist. "Qi Huang suffered and no one cared about her. When she was in pain, someone asked for her protection. It's true that a biological child is not as good as a raised one. I just don't know if Shen Minglin has the same treatment."
Mrs. Shen's face changed when Shen Minglin was mentioned, but she didn't know what to say. She supported Shen Mingzhu and said, "Today is Mom's birthday party. What can't wait until after tonight?"
“I only have one granddaughter, Huanghuang.” Qi Xiuyun turned around with a firm attitude, looking at Madam Shen with a look full of reproach.
Mrs. Shen panicked, and immediately turned into grievance, "Mom! No matter what, Mingzhu grew up under your care. She has called you grandma for more than ten years. Can you bear to watch her suffer?"
"She's been enjoying seventeen years of wealth and prosperity in the Shen family by usurping Huanghuang's identity. Why is she suffering?" Qi Xiuyun demanded harshly, raising her hand to pat Qi Huang's shoulder. "But you, her parents and brothers, have been the ones throwing the entire banquet around her, and you haven't even prepared a decent dress for Huanghuang! Don't forget that Huanghuang is your biological daughter!"
Madam Shen bit her lip and looked at Shen Mingzhu with a distressed look on her face, "I was wrong in this matter. I didn't think it through, but Mingzhu is innocent!"
"What's so innocent about her?!" Jiaojiao stood up and pointed at Shen Mingzhu arrogantly, "She's innocent to give the leftover dress to Huanghuang! She spent an entire afternoon on one look! Who the hell does she think she is! Not only is she usurping the throne, she's also showing off!
And you! You can't even manage a household properly, and the servants are more arrogant than the ladies! What's the use of you?
Jiaojiao opened her mouth without any distinction and pointed at Qiu Lan, "Who do you think you are? You're not from the Shen family or the Qi family, so why are you whining here? You have no manners at all!"
Another mouth to speak up, Qi Jingle couldn't help laughing, and Gu Zhou also tried hard to hold back his laughter. He was worthy of being a dragon that had lived for hundreds of years, and his fighting ability was amazing.
Jiaojiao put her hands on her hips and raised her chin, looking like a lone man blocking a thousand enemies' way.
Mrs. Shen and Qiu Lan's faces turned pale and blue after being scolded by Jiaojiao. Qiu Lan couldn't help but blame Jiaojiao, "We are the elders after all, and this is how you talk to your elders!"
Gu Zhou reached out and grabbed Jiaojiao, hinting her not to blow herself up, as it would be disastrous if she told anyone about it.
Jiaojiao snorted in warning, but was still unhappy.
Gu Zhou said, "Jiaojiao is my uncle's sister, not a junior."
At this time, Jiaojiao's generation status must be raised to become Qi Jing's sister. With the status of the Qi family and this generation status, no one dares to regard Jiaojiao as an elder even if she looks like a little girl.
Qi Jing nodded in agreement, "That's right, Jiaojiao is my younger sister, Aunt Xiuyun's niece."
"What? Are you questioning the Qi family?" Qi Xiuyun grabbed Jiaojiao's hand and stared at Qiu Lan warningly, "This is a matter between our two families. It's not your turn as an outsider to butt in!"
Although Qi Xiuyun was an old lady, she had a very imposing aura, which frightened Qiu Lan at once. Mrs. Shen beside her also stammered and dared not speak.
Now the only sound left was Shen Mingzhu's distorted howling in pain, and she kept calling "Mrs. Shen".
She was really in pain at this moment, her face was covered with tears and snot, and her makeup was completely ruined.
Gu Zhou didn't seem to feel anything, but he still said to Qi Jing, "We still have plans."
Qi Jing then remembered. He ran to Qi Huang and heard Qi Huang's answer before he could open his mouth.
"Uncle, please untie her."
Qi Jing nodded and turned to look at Shen Mingzhu, who was twisted in pain. "This time, I'm doing it for the sake of Little Phoenix. I won't untie you next time."
After saying that, Qi Huang made a hand gesture and a talisman flew out of Shen Mingzhu's body.
The pain disappeared instantly, and Shen Mingzhu went limp, gasping for breath, looking extremely miserable.
Qi Xiuyun really didn't want to see Shen Mingzhu, so she sternly drove her out.
Jiaojiao was not convinced and slammed the door shut, demanding, "Why did you untie her? It hurts her to death."
"You don't understand this. Revenge is definitely more satisfying if you do it with your own hands." Gu Zhou leaned on the sofa. He knew very well what Qi Huang was thinking.
Qi Jing cursed Shen Mingzhu to vent his anger on Qi Huang, and Qi Huang acquiesced. However, she chose to return to the Shen family, not for the Shen family's property at all. She wanted to personally trample Shen Mingzhu under her feet. Now that Qi Jing had taught Shen Mingzhu a lesson, it was time for Qi Huang to take action.
Qi Huang smiled at the mirror, "Let me do it myself after tonight."
"Then don't forget Qiu Lan." Gu Zhou reminded, that was the culprit.
"I will." Qi Huang pushed the hair behind her ear and pressed it down. "I have prepared a special gift for her tonight."
Qi Jing clasped his hands together excitedly, "I told you there would be something exciting tonight."
Qi Xiuyun put her arm around Qi Huang's shoulders and said, "Huang Huang, just do it boldly."
"Thank you, grandma. I won't affect the birthday party."
"It's okay. Today's party was originally held for you." Qi Xiuyun pinned a red rose in her hair, which matched the flowers on her skirt and the jewelry. It was a hairstyle designed by the stylist based on this skirt and was just picked from the garden.
Qi Xiuyun was delighted to see the gorgeous flowers paired with the bright seventeen-year-old girl. She asked the stylist to put on some finishing touches and it was time for them to leave.
Soon Qi Huang came out of the room, supporting Qi Xiuyun. She was wearing a white flower fairy dress, a ruby necklace and earrings, and Qi Huang's already beautiful appearance. Her appearance stunned Shen Minglin, who was waiting in the corridor.
He really didn't expect that Qi Huang would be willing to wear the dress he bought, but it was really beautiful, just as he imagined, a beautiful little fairy.
Shen Minglin was eager to go over and praise him, but after taking a step forward, he stopped in shock and silently retracted his steps.
He stood sideways in the corridor, called out "Grandma" and then fell behind obediently, staring at Qi Huang's back.
Gu Zhou patted Shen Minglin's shoulder meaningfully. No matter what, Shen Minglin's attitude of admitting his mistake was quite good.
