Chapter 16 Come, beat him up
Shen Qingyuan had to help with all the affairs of the school and the shop, and Chunxi had been delivering food to Qingyuan Hou's mansion for several days in a row.
There are sticky donkey rolls, rice cakes with a tea aroma, malt sugar and peanut crisps.
Although these things are not expensive, they are full of sincerity.
Chunxi always gave the things to Qingshu for delivery in an alley two streets away from the Marquis' Mansion, but with the things being delivered like this every day, it was inevitable that the news would reach the ears of the Mo family.
Mo did not stop it, but was happy to see it happen.
She has already found out Chunxi's background.
A girl from a poor family, she entered the Wei family as a maid at the age of ten, and took care of Wei Lingze for three years. Last year, Wei Lingze took her to banquets everywhere, and she knew many dignitaries.
If Chunxi really seduces Shen Qingyuan into falling in love with her, there will be a lot of jokes to watch in the future.
I just heard that Chunxi is currently discussing marriage, and someone has come to propose marriage.
That won't work.
Zhou Qin also felt that Chunxi was not worthy of marriage.
When he returned home from school, he heard that his parents had hurriedly gone to Chunxi's house to propose marriage. He felt dizzy. He also heard from the two elders that Chunxi and Wei Lingze were still in contact, which made his back colder.
He knew that Chunxi had taken care of Wei Lingze for three years, but he looked down on Chunxi and didn't think that a young master like Wei Lingze could be interested in Chunxi.
But it turned out that he was wrong.
Wei Lingze cares about Chunxi.
Then this marriage will be even more impossible.
But the neighbors had witnessed his parents going to Chunxi's house to propose marriage. Breaking off the engagement at this time would really damage his reputation. Besides, Chunxi was a fool who liked to make a fuss. If he angered her, who knew what kind of trouble would come.
Therefore, Chunxi must take the initiative to cancel the engagement.
Having made up his mind, Zhou Qin waited until the school was on vacation before going to find Chunxi.
Chunxi made egg yolk pastries today and ran into Zhou Qin just as she reached the alley entrance.
She paused, wanting to take Zhou Qin home to have a detailed chat, so that Wang could see his true face, but Zhou Qin waved his hand and said, "You're going out, so let's talk while we walk."
Chunxi was not afraid of him. She nodded and walked forward side by side with him.
Zhou Qin was eager to break off the engagement, so he cut straight to the point without exchanging pleasantries. "I heard you've taken care of Young Master Wei for three years. I don't mind you having physical contact with other men. You're such a caring person, and you'll definitely take good care of my family after we get married. My parents are so pleased with you because of this, so they can't wait to propose marriage so you can come to our house and work like a slave."
"But I actually have someone I like. Once you enter my family, you are not allowed to interfere with my actions. If I can pass the imperial examination in the future, I will demote you to a concubine and marry her. You are not allowed to complain."
Zhou Qin spoke very bluntly, making no attempt to hide his family's calculations.
As soon as Chunxi heard this, he knew that he wanted to scare her away in order to preserve his reputation.
She didn't want to marry Zhou Qin, but Zhou Qin's face was too ugly. Chunxi followed Zhou Qin's words and said, "I don't like you either, but my mother is satisfied with this marriage. Don't worry, when I get married, I will definitely serve my parents-in-law well and make way for my sister."
Zhou Qin originally thought that Chunxi would be ashamed and embarrassed after hearing his words and would cancel the engagement on the spot, but he didn't expect that she was actually planning to compromise.
Thinking of his parents' words, Zhou Qin suddenly felt a green light on his head.
Could it be that Chunxi really was using him as a cover to have private dealings with Wei Lingze?
If Wei Lingze gets tired of playing, won’t he want to raise someone else’s bastard?
This won’t do!
"No!" Zhou Qin shouted loudly, "It's not enough to just serve us. You have to work like a slave for us. You have to bring all the rewards given by the Wei family to our house, and the dowry cannot be less than one hundred taels!"
"OK."
Chunxi nodded without hesitation, and Zhou Qin's face turned green instantly.
If they agreed to such harsh conditions, there must be something fishy about this marriage!
Zhou Qin was desperately trying to figure out how to dissuade Chunxi when a carriage suddenly stopped and the curtain opened, revealing Ye Er's malicious face: "Hey, isn't this Sister Chunxi? Where are you going? I'll give you a ride."
Where did this wild man come from?
Ye Er was too enthusiastic, and Zhou Qin couldn't help but think too much.
Seeing his expression change, Chunxi bent her eyes and said to Ye Er, "Thank you for your kindness, Master Ye, but I just want to go for a stroll with my fiancé. There's no need to take a carriage."
"You have a fiancé so soon?"
Ye Er finally looked Zhou Qin in the eye. Zhou Qin felt uneasy. He was about to deny that he was not Chunxi's fiancé when he heard Ye Er's sarcastic voice: "Sister, you have been with Wei Lingze for three years. How come you found such an ugly and poor guy?"
Zhou Qin was known as a handsome and talented man by the neighbors of the Zhou family. Ye Er's words were like throwing his face to the ground and stepping on it hard.
Zhou Qin's expression collapsed, and he subconsciously wanted to make a few excuses to save face. Before he could open his mouth, he heard Ye Er lazily order: "Come here, give him a good beating for this young master, and see if he has the guts to try to take advantage of the situation again."
At Ye Er's command, the accompanying servants and guards dragged Zhou Qin to the alley nearby.
Zhou Qin panicked: "What are you going to do?"
His response was a barrage of punches and kicks.
Listening to Zhou Qin's screams, Ye Er curled his lips in pleasure, then looked at Chunxi: "Sister, why don't you get in the car? Do you want me to ask someone to invite you?"
"I dare not."
Chunxi got on the carriage obediently.
Ye Er had been stabbed in the calf by Wei Lingze before. Although the tendons and veins were not injured, the wound was too deep. Even after several days of recuperation, he still could not walk normally.
As soon as Chunxi got on the carriage, she saw the crutch placed in the corner and smelled the scent of medicine in the air.
"What's this?"
Ye Er asked as he snatched the food box from Chunxi's hand. He opened it and saw that it was filled with bright yellow egg yolk pastries sprinkled with sesame seeds. The aroma filled his nose as soon as he opened it.
Ye Er took one and ate it without hesitation.
"It tastes good. Where did you buy it?"
Chunxi didn't answer, but asked softly, "Master Ye, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Ye Er finished one and took another, saying quietly, "No rush, let's talk while we eat when we get to the restaurant."
When the people sent by the Mo family found Zhou Qin, he had just been beaten by the servants and guards of the Ye family. He was lying on the ground screaming and groaning, and he didn't even have the strength to get up.
Several people looked at each other.
Who got there before them?
What now?
Never mind, beat him up again!
Otherwise, I won’t be able to report to my wife when I get back.
After being severely beaten twice in a short period of time, Zhou Qin no longer cared about his dignity and limped to the Cao family to cancel the engagement.
Wang wanted to ask the reason, but he was so scared that he didn't even dare to ask for the betrothal gifts and fled from Cao's house in a hurry.
However, as soon as he went out, he was blocked by people sent by the Xiao family.
When Xiao Qingyue heard that Zhou Qin was forced to break off the engagement, she gritted her teeth in hatred.
She was right, her brother-in-law was really bewitched by that vixen!
