Chapter 54 Wei Lingze, You Deserve to Die
"What are you looking at? Lord Shen and this young lady are our saviors. If they hadn't arrived in time, we might have died."
Before Chunxi could open her mouth to refute, all the people who had just been rescued in the teahouse stood up to speak for Shen Qingyuan.
They had just seen Shen Qingyuan helping Chunxi with her hair, and as they spoke they couldn't help but praise the two of them.
"Master Shen is so lucky to marry such a kind-hearted lady."
"Besides, Lord Shen and Madam Shen look like a perfect match. They will surely have many children and live in eternal love."
"Lord and Madam Shen are my family's saviors. From today on, I will burn incense and pray for you every day, hoping that you will enjoy a long and prosperous life."
Although the compliments to Wei Lingze just now sounded nice, they were far less loud than the voices of the people, and certainly not as pious.
Chunxi's anger immediately subsided: "My master loves to do good deeds. I learned it from him. If you hear anyone say bad things about my master again, just help scold him."
Chunxi's eyes curved with a smile, and she looked delicate as she stood beside Shen Qingyuan with her hair combed in a bun.
When Wei Lingze heard these words, his face turned ashen.
Are these people blind? How can they tell that these two people are a good match?
Thinking of this, Wei Lingze said coldly: "Didn't Lord Shen kill two of his wives? I haven't heard of any wedding banquets being held at the Marquis' Mansion in the past few days. When did he get another wife?"
Wei Lingze didn't believe that Shen Qingyuan married Chunxi voluntarily. When he learned that the Marquis' Mansion did not hold a wedding banquet, he became even more certain that this marriage was the work of the Mo family.
Not only was there no wedding banquet, but even the return gifts today were extremely shabby.
If Chunxi still wants to act out the scene of a loving couple, then he will ruthlessly tear off her fig leaf!
Sure enough, as soon as Wei Lingze said this, the voices of praise stopped.
Shen Qingyuan remained calm. He took Chunxi's hand and said, "My wife doesn't like to be ostentatious. Although the wedding banquet hasn't been held yet, all the money has been converted into silver and put into her private treasury. Moreover, your name has been recorded in the family tree. Would you like to go to the Marquis' Mansion in person to get the family tree and check it out?"
The word "nephew-in-law" left everyone in Jingzhao Prefecture dumbfounded.
Nephew-in-law?
How could Lord Wei be Shen Qingyuan's nephew-in-law? How did they establish their relationship?
Wei Lingze's face was extremely gloomy.
As early as when Xiao Qinghe called out "Uncle Shen", he realized that he might be inferior to Shen Qingyuan in the future, but he did not expect that Shen Qingyuan would dare to act like an elder to him in public.
If he acknowledged Shen Qingyuan as his uncle, wouldn't he have to call Chunxi aunt?
This old guy has such a big face!
Raging rage burned his entire body, causing pain. Wei Lingze lost his mind and spoke again, his endless malice directed at Chunxi: "The person close to Lord Shen was once a slave in the Wei family, and even served me personally for three whole years. I wonder what shameful means such a lowly person used to climb into Lord Shen's bed?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Chunxi.
Even though many people had just been pulled back from the brink of death by Chunxi, due to the disparity in status between Chunxi and Shen Qingyuan, they were more willing to believe that what Wei Lingze said was true.
How could a woman of low status gain the favor of a superior without resorting to some shameful means?
Chunxi was no stranger to such looks.
After she overcame Wei Lingze's mood swings, gained his trust and dependence, and became his personal maid, no one thought that she relied on her own strength and hard work, but instead speculated about her with the greatest malice.
At that time, everyone had forgotten that before her, several maids had died at the hands of Wei Lingze.
The eldest son of the Wei family is an out-and-out murderous demon.
No one was willing to serve him, and she was just a poor thing with nowhere to go.
In the past, Chunxi was just a small servant and had to endure any unpleasant words he heard.
But now, things are different.
Chunxi quickly stepped forward and slapped Wei Lingze hard with all her strength.
Bang!
An extremely loud slap was heard, Wei Lingze's head was knocked off balance, and blood flowed from the corner of his lips. People standing closer couldn't help but gasp.
hiss~
Lord Shen's new wife has very strong hands, it hurts just by listening to it.
Wei Lingze didn't feel much pain because half of his face was numb, his ears were even buzzing, and his mind was blank.
He couldn't believe it, Chunxi actually slapped him.
This woman who had served him attentively and meticulously for three years, who had never said a single word of contradiction to him before leaving the Wei family, actually dared to slap him!
Is she crazy?
"you……"
Wei Lingze's pupils trembled, and it took him a while to find his voice. However, just after he said a word, Shen Qingyuan slapped him on the right cheek.
Shen Qingyuan is much stronger than Chunxi.
Wei Lingze was slapped and took several steps back.
Everyone in Jingzhao Prefecture almost popped their eyes out.
Is Shen Qingyuan possessed by evil spirits today? He actually dared to fight with Wei Lingze. Isn't he afraid of being retaliated by the Wei family and losing his official hat?
Shen Qingyuan's slap completely woke Wei Lingze up.
Chunxi's slap shocked him, and Shen Qingyuan's slap was a complete humiliation.
This was the first time he had been slapped in the face since he was a child.
He must chop this old thing into pieces and feed it to the dogs today!
Wei Lingze was furious. He pulled out the knife from the nearest yamen runner's waist and was about to chop Shen Qingyuan. Xiao Qinghe rushed over and hugged him from behind: "Wei Lang, you can't do this."
As a new wife, Xiao Qinghe tied up her black hair into a bun. Instead of looking old, she looked more charming, like a peony in full bloom, extremely gorgeous.
Xiao Qinghe seldom went out, and when she did she would wear a veil. When everyone suddenly saw such a beautiful woman, they all unconsciously slowed down their breathing for fear of disturbing her.
However, Wei Lingze showed no mercy and grabbed her arm and shook her off.
Xiao Qinghe was thrown to the ground, and his palm was immediately scratched.
"Madam, are you okay?"
The maid Quezhi rushed over and helped Xiao Qinghe up.
Xiao Qinghe didn't care about the pain, pushed Quezhi away, rushed to Wei Lingze, and grabbed the knife in his hand.
The blade was so sharp that Xiao Qinghe's delicate white palm was immediately cut and started bleeding.
Everyone couldn't help but show sympathy, and Wei Lingze, who was furious, regained his senses and threw away the knife.
Li Mingde quickly stepped forward to dissuade him: "Master Wei, don't get angry with someone who is not worthy of you. It is more important to accompany the lady back home first."
Xiao Qinghe is the apple of the Xiao family's eye. Wouldn't it damage the harmony between the two families if she returned home injured?
Wei Lingze's face was as gloomy as water. He took out a hand towel and helped Xiao Qinghe wrap his hands.
Xiao Qinghe's face turned pale with pain, but she still managed to say to Chunxi, "Aunt, I'm sorry. I apologize on behalf of my husband."
Chunxi: “…”
Wei Lingze, you deserve to die for hurting such a beautiful girl!
