Chapter 240 Greasy
On the small path between the official road and the county school, Young Master Qi's carriage was parked across the middle of the road, and Xu Zhichun could not move at all.
When Yang Xiaoan saw the other party's gorgeous carriage, he hurriedly pulled the reins and gently shouted to the ox cart to stop, otherwise if it accidentally damaged the other party's carriage, he would not be able to afford the compensation.
Yang Xiaoan was in a dilemma. The road was very narrow and he couldn't avoid it even if he wanted to.
Young Master Qi lifted the carriage curtain and smiled at Xu Zhichun, "Is this Madam Xu from Liangjia Village? I'm a relative of the Zeng family. Can I have a word with Madam Xu?"
Zeng family?
Yang Xiaoan couldn't help but glance at Young Master Qi, a flash of vigilance and disgust in his eyes: Is it the Zeng family, his stepmother's family? There are no good people in that Zeng family. No wonder this person doesn't look like a good person.
I don’t know if it was Xu Zhichun’s illusion, but the young master seemed to be looking at me with a special meaning, revealing a bit of frivolity and affection intentionally or unintentionally, so greasy.
It's very disgusting.
Being stuck in traffic like this is not a good thing. Since they are from the Zeng family, they have been stopped and will not leave easily. It would be embarrassing to be seen by others.
Xu Zhichun got off the ox cart decisively and said, "Okay."
"Mrs. Xu is straightforward!"
Young Master Qi laughed heartily and got off the carriage. He raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation towards the grove nearby, "Madam Xu, please."
Xu Zhichun frowned slightly and became even more greasy.
"please."
With Chunfen, Xu Zhichun was not afraid of him at all.
Not walking too far into the grove, he asked, "What is the relationship between you and the Zeng family?"
Xu Zhichun had never met Young Master Qi, so he had no idea he was Zeng Mingzhu's husband. Even if he had known, he wouldn't have treated him differently.
In short, just attribute it to the Zeng family.
Young Master Qi suddenly didn't want to reveal his identity. He flicked the folding fan in his hand, which was decorated with a peony and a beautiful woman in gold, and waved it in a self-proclaimed, suave manner, chuckling happily, "Mrs. Xu, it's enough for you to know that I can represent the Zeng family. Madam Xu, it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. More friends mean more paths. The Zeng family will never humiliate you, right? If you need any help in the future, just let us know. The Zeng family is quite powerful and will always be able to help you."
"I know Madam Xu has a good relationship with the Qin family, but Madam Xu is a smart person. She should be able to imagine that the Qin family has been able to maintain its position as the richest family in Qingshan County for many years. Master Qin and Madam Qin are definitely not easy to deal with. I'm afraid Madam Xu can't even imagine how deep their scheming is. Madam Xu only associates with this family. If they plot against Madam Xu one day, wouldn't Madam Xu be helpless? It would be better to make more friends and make the Qin family feel a little wary, don't you think?"
"In any case, the Third Miss of the Zeng family is on good terms with Madam Xu. With this relationship, what is Madam Xu afraid of?"
Xu Zhichun: "What is your relationship with the Zeng family?"
Young Master Qi’s smile froze slightly—why are you still asking?
"Madam Xu, what I just said is from the bottom of my heart. Madam Xu, if you just think about it, you will understand. It is better to resolve a feud than to create one. Besides, it will not benefit Madam Xu in any way to make enemies with the Zeng family."
"What is the relationship between you and the Zeng family?"
"you--"
"I don't know who this young master is, let alone what he means by saying these things. But I have never seen the young master in the Zeng family, so please don't pretend to be a member of the Zeng family. I don't dare to listen to these words."
Young Master Qi sneered angrily, "Who said I'm a member of the Zeng family?"
The Zeng family's threshold is obviously much lower than that of the Qi family.
If the two families had not had business dealings and if it weren't for the fact that the eldest daughter of the Zeng family was a lady of talent, beauty, virtuous and dignified, Zeng Mingzhu would not have been worthy of marrying into the Qi family.
After the marriage, everyone in the Qi family was quite satisfied with their daughter-in-law. However, what Young Master Qi did not expect was that Zeng Mingzhu's virtuousness and dignity were only limited to Qingyang County and the Qi family. Her true colors were revealed when she returned to the Zeng family.
He was furious.
If it hadn't been a done deal, he would never have married her.
Now, even though he knew her true identity, even for the sake of his own face, he had to help her hide it at home.
Cuiqiao was her maidservant who came with her as a dowry. She went back to her parents' home and found Cuiqiao missing. Even if there was a reasonable explanation, did she really think that everyone was a fool?
If his younger brother and sister-in-law knew about this, who knows what would happen.
Young Master Qi had seen Xu Zhichun protecting Zeng Xiaoyan before, and he was very interested at that time. He thought that this young woman was cute and charming, like a hot pepper, and quite interesting, but he didn't think much about it. After returning to Qingyang County, he put aside the seductive and evil thoughts of whether to flirt with her or not.
Unexpectedly, this little hot pepper was really capable and turned the Zeng family upside down. Young Master Qi's heart that wanted to tease her started to itch again, and it became more and more itchy, making him unable to sleep at night.
He couldn't even explain clearly whether he stopped Xu Zhichun today more to get Cuiqiao out of jail or simply to have more contact with Xu Zhichun.
But he had to admit that the chili pepper was really spicy, which made people angry and itchy, but also made them feel even more itchy in their hearts.
Young Master Qi secretly vowed to get this little hot pepper in his hands.
Just thinking about her killing everyone else but bowing down to him and obeying everything, how wonderful that feeling must be! Just thinking about it made him feel ecstatic.
Xu Zhichun's eyes darkened, and a thin layer of ice coated her pretty face. "Since you are not a member of the Zeng family, it is better not to meddle in the affairs of the Zeng family. Goodbye."
"No," Young Master Qi folded and opened his folding fan with a swish, then waved it casually to block Xu Zhichun's way. "Madam Xu, I'm talking to you sincerely. Didn't you hear that? In this matter, I'm considering Madam Xu and doing it for her own good."
"Oh!"
"Letting the Zeng family owe Madam Xu a favor won't do any harm to her, right? Madam Xu won't be at a disadvantage in terms of compensation either."
Xu Zhichun looked cold.
Young Master Qi smiled, feeling elegant and gentle. He untied the sachet tied around his waist and gently handed it to Xu Zhichun: "Here are two hundred taels of silver notes. This is my sincere token of gratitude. Madam Xu, please accept it. We can discuss other matters later."
As he spoke, he looked at Xu Zhichun and said softly with pity and consideration, "Madam Xu is too plain. You should buy some new jewelry and make some fresh silk clothes to match your current status. Besides, Madam Xu is at the age of a flower, it's time to dress up! If nothing else, dressing up will make you feel better, right?"
