It was Qu Qing who opened the door.
The morning sun fell on her, making her look even thinner and more ethereal, with a thin chin and a pointed face full of sorrow.
"Brother-in-law?" Qu Qing's face immediately showed panic. She took a half step back and said politely: "No, Qu Qing greets Prince Chen! How are you, Prince Chen?"
When Xiao Xian first heard the name "brother-in-law", a smile appeared on his face, but as Qu Qing changed the name, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Qu Qing saw the scars on his face. Even though he had applied the best ointment, they were still visible in the sunlight.
She couldn't help but wonder if it was Qu Li who did it.
Just at this moment, Changle rushed out and saw Qu Qing staring at Xiao Xian with affection, while Xiao Xian had a sinister look on his face. She naturally thought that Qu Qing had gone to great lengths to come here just for Xiao Xian.
She was a chivalrous woman by nature, so she was naturally furious at this moment.
“Snap—”
The whip was swung out, deliberately avoiding Qu Qing, but hitting her feet instead.
The whip tip created a strong wind, which scared Qu Qing so much that the blood drained from her face.
She subconsciously hid behind Xiao Xian and asked timidly, "Changle County Master, why did Qu Qing annoy you?"
Changle gritted his teeth in anger.
"Seventh cousin, you really are a gentle and considerate person!"
Xiao Xian was also full of grievances.
He came here early in the morning just to coax Qu Li, but who knew that the one who opened the door for him would be Qu Qing?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Changle swung the whip in his hand again.
Xiao Xian narrowed his eyes slightly and reached out to grab the whip tip.
"Let go!" Changle struggled a few times but couldn't break free, his chest heaving violently with anger.
"Why are you cracking a whip randomly at home? Aren't you afraid of hurting anyone?"
Changle sneered: "This whip of mine was given to me by my mother. It won't hurt anyone, it will only hurt vixens with evil intentions."
Qu Qing's eyes were blurred with tears. "Changle County Princess, I didn't seduce Prince Chen! Why do you always make such malicious assumptions about me? And even deliberately tease me?"
During this period, she made a fool of herself and her body was extremely itchy. If she hadn't been able to endure it, her face would have been rotten long ago.
"You're confessing yourself?" Changle glared at her with a mocking look, "Did I mention your name?"
"Lord Chen, please believe me, I didn't..."
Xiao Xian was already in a depressed mood because of Qu Li last night. He tossed and turned and didn't sleep well. Now he heard the whimpering sound, and his forehead twitched and buzzed violently.
“That’s enough!”
Changle mistakenly thought he was yelling at her, her eyes widened and her face was full of disbelief.
There was the sound of a wheelchair's pulley, and Changle turned to look at Qu Wenzhao with a wronged look.
"Qu Wenzhao, he bullied me!"
Qu Wenzhao didn't like Xiao Xian in the first place, and seeing Qu Qing hiding behind him, he naturally didn't believe that he had no sympathy for women.
He patted the back of Changle's hand soothingly, and when his eyes moved to Xiao Xian's face, they had completely lost their warmth.
"If Prince Chen is worried that we will bully her and wants to be kind to her, he can take her away!"
The young man was clearly sitting in a wheelchair, and his words were neither fast nor loud, but his aura was no less than that of the man opposite him who had led thousands of troops and witnessed bloody battles.
Xiao Xian frowned, eager to explain.
However, Qu Wenzhao had already signaled Changle to push him back.
Changle snorted at him resentfully, then pushed Qu Wenzhao away.
Xiao Xian was stunned for a moment and was about to follow, but he heard Qu Qing sobbing, "Qu Qing didn't mean to hurt Big Sister and the others, but Fourth Brother and Changle County Lady always think the worst of Qu Qing! There's no place for Qu Qing here anymore."
Seeing that Xiao Xian was indifferent, Qu Qing simply rolled her eyes and fell towards him.
Xiao Xian glanced at him with disgust and moved aside.
"Bang--"
A severe pain came over Qu Qing, and she felt as if all the bones in her body were broken into pieces.
However, she was pretending to be unconscious and couldn't open her eyes to rub them.
Guangping, who was waiting outside, witnessed all this with his own eyes and felt so much pain that his jaw tensed.
Xiao Xian was about to explain to Changle, but was pushed out by Changle.
"You are becoming more and more unfamiliar. If I were my seventh cousin's wife, I wouldn't like a man like you!"
These words hit the sore spot in Xiao Xian's heart, causing his usually cheerful facial features to wrinkle once again.
Qu Wenzhao said coldly: "I remember everything you did to my elder sister clearly in my heart. In the future, I will definitely ask you to pay it back one by one!"
Changle raised his chin slightly without fear of trouble, "And me, I will also help you and your seventh cousin!"
She was already annoyed by his meddling in her affairs last time, and this time, seeing him entangled with Qu Qing again, she became even more furious.
Xiao Xian clenched his fingers and took deep breaths repeatedly before forcing himself to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Changle, I have something important to tell Li'er."
"Eldest sister hasn't gotten up yet!"
"I'm waiting for her."
Qu Wenzhao raised his eyes and met his bloodshot eyes: "Whatever! Just don't disturb the eldest sister! As for Qu Qing, she has evil intentions. If you pity her, take her away!"
Xiao Xian couldn't help but wonder about Qu Qing's purpose of coming here and what she had done to make Qu Wenzhao want to just kick her out.
"Okay, I'll wait here." Xiao Xian signaled Guangping to go out and ask the secret guard what Qu Qing had done, while he sat in the corridor.
Changle and Qu Wenzhao stared at him warily for a while before going back.
Qu Li had actually woken up a long time ago and knew that Qu Qing had sneaked into her room last night.
