Chapter 21 Sir, Are You Drunk?
The Xiao family chef’s cooking skills are really good, and Chunxi was very satisfied with the meal.
After the birthday banquet, there is tea to relieve the greasiness.
Mrs. Mo was very angry and stood up to say goodbye without waiting for the tea to be served. Chunxi followed suit.
Madam Xiao did not keep Mrs. Mo, but said to Chunxi with a warm smile, "I saw you were enjoying your meal just now. If you have time in the future, you can come to my house and keep me company."
Is it possible that the huge Xiao family can’t find someone to accompany the old lady for dinner?
Chunxi hesitated a bit, and the nanny beside Old Madam Xiao said quickly, "We haven't seen anyone in our house with such a good appetite as the young lady. With the young lady here, the old lady ate half a bowl more rice than usual today."
The nanny's tone was sincere, her eyes full of earnestness. Chunxi thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It is my blessing to be liked by the old lady. As long as the old lady doesn't mind disturbing me, that's all."
When Mrs. Mo heard this, she was so angry that her face turned green.
Over the years, she had asked Shen Qingchi to deliver gifts to Old Madam Xiao many times, and Old Madam Xiao had never praised Shen Qingchi in front of so many people. But she was so kind to this starving ghost whom she had only met once. Then what was the point of all their flattery over the years?
Mrs. Mo couldn't even utter a polite word, and she dragged Shen Qingchi away. Shen Qingyue and Shen Qingyu politely said goodbye to everyone before going after their mother and sister.
Shen Qingyuan had no intention of going with them. After leaving the dining room, Chunxi shamelessly asked, "Sir, can you take me to the bank later?"
More than ten gold ingots were nothing to aristocratic families, but it was a huge sum of money to Chunxi. It would be safer to deposit it in a bank as soon as possible to avoid trouble when bringing it back home.
Shen Qingyuan nodded: "Okay."
Chunxi thought for a moment, then took out two gold ingots and handed them to Shen Qingyuan: "Thank you for speaking up for me today, sir."
Although Chunxi successfully broke into the front yard today, she knew that in front of these nobles, she was just an ant. If Shen Qingyuan had not been there, she would have suffered some physical pain.
"I just said a few words, and they're worth two gold ingots?"
Shen Qingyuan raised his eyebrows, not as serious as usual, but with a hint of amusement, as if he wanted to test whether Chunxi was really willing to give it up.
Chunxi directly stuffed the gold ingot into his hand: "Of course it's worth it, your Excellency's words are as valuable as gold."
As they talked, the two of them left the house and got on the carriage.
In the narrow space, Chunxi noticed that Shen Qingyuan had also dressed up specially today.
The silver brocade dress with ruyi hot stamping pattern perfectly outlines the broad shoulders and narrow waist. The hair is tied with a jade crown of the same color, and white jade accessories are hung around the waist, which brings nobility to the awe-inspiring righteousness.
Chunxi remembered that Shen Qingyuan was sitting at the main table today, next to Old Madam Xiao.
I sighed again in my heart.
Lord Shen has such a good relationship with Madam Xiao, and he still helps her so selflessly. He is so kind.
Shen Qingyuan was also looking at Chunxi.
After eating and drinking, the little girl was very quiet at the moment, and there was no sign of the wild pursuit of a group of people chasing after her before.
The contrast is quite big.
It was hard to imagine that with her personality, she had worked as a slave in the Wei family for so many years without causing any trouble.
Curious, Shen Qingyuan asked directly: "Do you know martial arts?"
He was a martial artist and could tell at a glance that Chunxi's swing of the hemp rope was extraordinary.
"Master Shen is indeed a man of great insight," Chunxi said with a thumbs-up, his tone full of pride. "My father is a bodyguard, and I learned martial arts from him for a few years. After joining the Wei family, I did rough labor, so I still have some strength."
If she didn't have the strength, how could she help Wei Lingze, who was paralyzed in bed, to wipe his body and take a bath by herself?
Chunxi finished his words and did not forget to flatter: "My little tricks can only scare people, but adults are really good at hiding their true abilities."
Shen Qingyuan found this quite useful. He smiled and said, "I also learned this from my father."
Chunxi immediately agreed: "The Marquis's reputation is well known to everyone. I heard that the Marquis once..."
In order to make friends, Chunxi went to great lengths to gather information after returning from the Marquis' Mansion. She wanted to seize the opportunity to perform well, but was interrupted by Shen Qingyuan's light voice.
"He's not my father."
“…”???
No, it’s okay to have a biased stepmother, but even your father is not your biological son. Lord Shen, your fate is too unfortunate, isn’t it?
Chunxi didn't know how to respond, and after a while he managed to utter, "Sir, are you drunk?"
Otherwise, why would you blurt out everything?
How could she, an outsider, hear such a secret?
Chunxi asked sincerely. Shen Qingyuan stared at her for a moment, then closed his eyes and replied solemnly, "Hmm."
Don't be in a hurry, take it step by step.
Chunxi breathed a sigh of relief.
Lord Shen's alcohol tolerance is too poor.
——
The news that Chunxi went to the Xiao family soon reached Ye Er's ears.
Ye Er was not nervous, but hummed a little tune happily.
This was a plan that Chunxi and he had discussed.
Chunxi went to the Xiao family to provoke Xiao Qinghe. After being taught a lesson by the Xiao family, she went to find Wei Lingze and pretended to be aggrieved and pitiful, so as to alienate the relationship between the two.
Ye Er knew that today was Madam Xiao's birthday, and he also knew that the Wei family would go to the Xiao family to discuss the wedding date. If Chunxi was more powerful, it was possible that the two families would fight.
Ye Er felt a little regretful that he could not witness such a lively scene in person, but he was also very happy. He asked the kitchen to send him some good wine and food, and asked the two maids in the room to massage his shoulders and legs.
Ye Er hummed comfortably, but what he was thinking about was Xiao Qinghe's absolutely beautiful, otherworldly face.
He had wanted countless times to make the owner of this face cry and beg for mercy under him, but the fact was that Xiao Qinghe had never looked him in the eye.
Even if Wei Lingze became a useless person paralyzed in bed, Xiao Qinghe would not bother to say a word to other people.
When Wei Lingze breaks off the engagement for Chunxi, Xiao Qinghe will fall from the altar, and everyone will laugh at the fact that the eldest daughter of the Xiao family is not even as good as a lowly maid.
If he pretends to be attentive to her again, she will definitely be devoted to him.
Thinking of this, Ye Er couldn't help but feel a little distracted. He raised the chin of the maid who was massaging his legs, wanting to relieve his sexual desire first, but the door was suddenly kicked open.
"Who dares to disturb this young master's good deeds? Believe it or not, this young master..."
Bang!
Lord Ye slapped Ye Er hard, and before Ye Er could react, he slapped him again with his backhand.
The two maids were so scared that they hid aside. Lord Ye had no intention of stopping and continued to punch and kick Ye Er, not even avoiding his injured leg.
When Mrs. Ye arrived, Ye Er had been beaten beyond recognition.
"Master, you are crazy. This is our own son. How could you kill him?"
Lord Ye's anger had not yet subsided, and he raised his hand and slapped Madam Ye again: "Fool, if you hadn't doted on him, how could he have had the guts to plot against the Wei and Xiao families?"
Madam Ye's ears were buzzing from the beating. Just as she was about to argue, she heard her husband's cold voice: "Come here, pack up your things immediately and send Madam and the Second Young Master back to their hometown in Ganzhou!"
"Master, you and I have been married for more than 20 years. You can't drive us away just because of such a small matter."
Lord Ye's face was cold and unmoved: "If it weren't for the relationship between husband and wife, I would have killed this evil boy and went to the Xiao family to apologize!"
