"Why didn't you go back to your hometown? What are you doing here?”
Zhangsun Qi said rudely to the white-robed figure standing with his back to him.
"Why are you so stingy? Senior Brother, I just want to stay in your residence for a few nights.”The white shadow turned around and said to Zhangsun Qi innocently.
"I've been very busy recently and don't have time to entertain you.”Zhangsun Qi ordered him to leave.
"Senior Brother, don't be like this. Can you bear to see your cute junior brother wander the streets and live a miserable life of performing arts to earn money to go home?”
"Someone come! Give a hundred taels to Young Master Dan." In some ways, he was somewhat similar to Xiang Qinglian. They both had a face that could deceive people to death.
The world was so big, but he had always met such people.
Could he not dodge or could he not escape at all?
A hundred silver note was quickly placed on Dan Chuying's face. He took it down with a smile, carefully folded it, and stuffed it into his sleeve pocket.
"You've taken the money. Can you get lost now?”Zhangsun Qi crossed his arms in front of his chest. He looked at Dan Chuying with a cold and arrogant expression.
"Why are you in such a hurry to chase me away? Could it be that Senior Brother is afraid that I'll find out about something shameful?”Dan Chuying suddenly pouted his lips, looking like a villain who deserved a beating.
"Are you leaving or not?" Zhangsun Qi resisted the urge to strangle him to death.
"Hey! I guessed right, didn't I?"
The next moment, Dan Chuying's collar was grabbed tightly without warning, but he still said with a mischievous smile,
"Senior Brother, we can discuss this. Don't be so agitated!”
"If you don't want me to break your neck, do it immediately!"
"The girl in your room is really beautiful.”
Shan Chuying's surprised exclamation caused Zhangsun Qi's expression to change.
"You know?" Zhangsun Qi's tone was extremely light, but it was so cold that it was enough to freeze people to death.
"Of course I know! Especially at this point in the evening, as a junior brother, I have to remind you that you were too rough with that beautiful girl. Even when I was sleeping on the roof, I could hear the girl's screams, causing me to not sleep well the whole night.”
The reason why Dan Chuying dared to speak so bluntly in front of him was entirely because Zhangsun Qi was still able to keep his cool and not lose his rationality. This was also what he admired the most about him.
"Chief." Zhangsun Qi glared at him fiercely, then slowly loosened his grip on his collar and turned around to summon his men.
He and Dan Chuying came from the same school, so don't underestimate his sloppy appearance, his martial arts were on par with his. Based on what he said just now, he had already infiltrated the Zhangsun Manor for many days, yet he knew nothing about it. It was obvious that Xiang Qinglian had occupied most of his thoughts and attracted most of his attention.
"Young Master, do you have any instructions?" the manager asked.
"Bring Young Master Dan to the Crescent Moon Pavilion." Dan Chuying had appeared at this moment to threaten him.
"Senior brother, then junior brother will reluctantly disturb you for a few days.”Dan Chu should have gotten a bargain and acted obediently.
Ha, not only did he have a place to stay, but he also had an extra hundred taels in his wallet. This senior brother of his was really good to him. He should reward him well.
On the fifth day.
Xiang Qinglian, who was starving, was probably on her last breath.
Because of this, she decided to forgive Zhangsun Qi and never step into his territory again. She would also never pay attention to Zhangsun Qi, this pervert.
Her expression was extremely lonely and listless. She recalled that a few days ago, she did not know what was wrong with her, but she insisted on going head-on with him. In the end, in order to fight for her dignity, she even lost her innocence and was even humiliated by him to be worse than a chicken or a dog.
What was she trying to prove by doing this?
Was it to prove that she was not easy to deal with, or was it to prove that she was a nine-life strange cat that would not starve to death?
She missed her father, mother, and even more so Ah Huang. She wanted to go home and not stay here to be violated by others.
Xiang Qinglian, who was lying on the chaise longue and feeling sorry for herself, could not help but cry, allowing her tears to wet the pillow under her face.
Suddenly, she seemed to smell a very fragrant smell of meat. She thought that it was an illusion again, so much so that she did not even bother to open her eyes.
However, the fragrance was so real and so close to her nose. Xiang Qinglian swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and finally opened her red eyes. The fragrant chicken drumstick moved to her tongue, waiting for her to open her mouth.
Even if it was just a phantom, Xiang Qinglian did not hesitate for long. She opened her mouth and took a bite of the food.
Realizing that she could really eat it, Xiang Qinglian's hands, which had been hanging outside the recliner, suddenly gained strength. She snatched the drumstick in front of her and swallowed it without chewing it.
Every time she was about to finish the drumstick in her hand, another one would appear strangely. When she was almost satiated, there were already five or six chicken bones on the ground.
"Wow, I'm so full!" Burping, Xiang Qinglian licked the grease on her fingers in satisfaction.
"Do you want some water?"
"Yes." Xiang Qinglian replied loudly.
As if she already knew the answer, the cup filled with tea had already fallen into her hands before she could respond.
Xiang Qinglian poured it down her throat. When there was not a single drop left, she regretted cursing that heartless Qiao Sheng.
" I'm sorry, Qiaosheng. I misunderstood you." Xiang Qinglian's eyes widened in shock as she stared at the man who was at her eye level and had a wicked look on his face.
"Do you still want to drink?" Dan Chuying asked kindly.
"Who are you?" She thought it was Qiao Sheng.
"I'm Dan Chuying, you can call me Brother Dan.”
Dan Chuying? Never heard of it.
Brother Dan, it's just their first meeting, and you want me to call you brother? Isn't your action too fast? However, seeing that he had brought so many chicken drumsticks, she would consider it.
"Damn it, how could Senior Brother Zhangsun bear to let a weak woman starve and suffer!”Dan Chuying suddenly spoke up for her.
"Zhangsun Qi is your senior brother?"
"Sigh! It was really unfortunate for the sect. Senior Brother Zhangsun was not a human at all.”
"You're absolutely right. Zhangsun Qi is not a human at all. He's dirty, despicable, shameless, cunning, and sinister. In short, he's worse than a beast.”If you were full, you would have the strength. If you had the strength, you could curse loudly, but you also needed a target to curse at. It just so happened that this strange man shared a common enemy with her. Therefore, when she couldn't take it anymore and temporarily lost her guard, she told him everything about how Zhangsun Qi kidnapped her and how she ended up like this.
"Tell me, am I, Xiang Qinglian, the unluckiest woman in the world?”She pointed her trembling finger at the tip of the man's nose, forcing him to answer yes.
To be able to find out so much about his senior brother without moving a single soldier, Dan Chuying pretended to be extremely distressed while laughing until he was injured. He also attacked Zhangsun Qi with her in unison.
Hehe, from her appearance, I really couldn't tell that this woman had the ability to provoke my senior brother. This, this is really f * cking great. From now on, he had to give them a good push.
As for how to push it, heh, I have my own ideas. The opportunity will come.
Shan Chuying suddenly squeezed into the chaise lounge and hugged Xiang Qinglian while she was still confused. At this moment, the door was kicked open and Zhangsun Qi walked in expressionlessly. He happened to see them hugging each other intimately.
"Dan Chuying, take your hand away." His cold tone echoed in the hall, and at the same time, Xiang Qinglian was so shocked that she forgot to reject Dan Chuying.
In fact, Zhangsun Qi wanted to cut off Dan Chuying's hands and touch Xiang Qinglian's hands with his knife, but another voice in his body kept stopping him from doing so.
Xiang Qinglian is just an insignificant and tricky woman to you. Since you've already used her, you don't care who she's with.
"Shixiong, you don't know how pitiful Lian 'er is." Although this was an old trick, the effect was surprisingly good.
"Shut up, I won't allow you to call her that!”Hearing him say the word 'Lian' er 'completely shattered the noise in his heart. However, after he roared, he immediately lowered his eyes in shock and coldly looked at the scattered chicken bones on the ground.
What was he angry about?
Since Chu Ying had taken a fancy to her, he could take the opportunity to solve this problem. He did not have to worry about throwing her outside and calling the carriage to take her away.
"Brother Dan Chu, look, he usually treats me like this.”Xiang Qinglian didn't know or didn't dare to expect Zhangsun Qi to be jealous, so she let Dan Chuying hug her and continued to add fuel to the fire.
"Xiang Qinglian, it's a good thing I didn't marry you. Otherwise, I don't know how many cuckolds I would have been wearing.”The word "Brother Dan" completely infuriated Zhangsun Qi. He raised his cold eyes and looked at Xiang Qinglian, who could no longer act.
"No matter how promiscuous I am, it's not your turn to be cuckolded. Also, when did I say I was going to marry you? You've always been the one who forced me to be your fiancée. What right do you have to be more arrogant and fierce than me?”
"Miss Lian Qinglian, my hand, my hand hurts!"
Watching two tigers fight was a wonderful thing, but if Xiang Qinglian wanted to talk, then so be it. Why did she have to use her sharp claws to desperately scratch the back of his pink hand?
"Shut up!" Xiang Qinglian turned around and shouted at him.
She, she actually told him to shut up! Dan Chuying was really speechless.
As expected of the woman Shixiong loved. She had a personality.
"Then why are you still playing this lousy revenge game? Let's go! Get out of the Zhangsun family immediately." Zhangsun Qi took a big step forward and suddenly chopped down at the two people who were tightly entangled.
Dan Chu pushed Qinglian lightly, then moved a little to the side. Zhangsun Qi quickly withdrew his palm after achieving the goal of separating the two.
Xiang Qinglian might have lost her mind because of his provocation. After being forced to separate from Dan Chuying, she took the initiative to lean over and hug Dan Chuying, who was very cooperative with her. She said angrily,"Alright, I'll leave now. Moreover, I'll bring my new husband along to show you.”
"You said Dan Chuying is your new husband?”Zhangsun Qi clenched his fists tightly.
"That's right. Brother Dan is my husband, a handsome man who is thousands of times better than you.”Xiang Qinglian snorted heavily.
"Dan. Foundation. Ying!" A sharp gaze shot straight at Dan Chuying's evil smile.
" I, I," Dan Chuying immediately put on an innocent look as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Let's go, Brother Dan. Let's go back to Green Dou City together. Don't stay here and be a thorn in their side.”Xiang Qinglian grabbed Shan Chuying's arm and dragged him up. When they were in front of the chief of the entourage, Sun Qi, she deliberately gave him an arrogant look before leaving.
"Sister Qinglian, slow down. Brother Dan hasn't said goodbye to Senior Brother yet.”
"What farewell? He can't wait for us to go as far away as possible."
Xiang Qinglian's angry voice had already disappeared outside Zhangsun Qi's courtyard. From the beginning to the end, Zhangsun Qi had only watched everything coldly, with no intention of keeping her alive.
She was finally gone.
The woman who could disturb his mind had finally left his side, and she had also taken away Dan Chuying, who was full of schemes. He should be happy, shouldn't he?
But why was he filled with the urge to kill?
Bang!
The loud noise made Qiao Sheng, who had been sleeping outside the door, suddenly wake up and rush into the room to check.
"Young Master, what happened? Why did you shatter the recliner?”As soon as Qiao Sheng entered the door, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Although he vented his inexplicable anger on the recliner that had Xiang Qinglian's fragrance, the gloomy fire in his heart continued to burn.
After slapping the table with his palm, he lost some of his composure and sat down on the big chair. A hint of panic flashed across his eyes.
"Young Master, why is Miss Xiang missing?”Qiao Sheng trembled as he lowered his head, sighing in his heart that things were not looking good.
"You still dare to ask me!" Glancing coldly at Qiao Sheng, who was shrinking his shoulders, Zhangsun Qi grabbed the back of his hand that was on the chair handle.
" Young Master, I really deserve to die. I don't know how I fell asleep." Qiao Sheng wiped his neck and prepared to die.
"Get lost!"
" Get lost, alright. I, I will get lost now." Would Master let me off so easily? The suspicion in Qiao Sheng's heart saw that the chair handle was about to be crushed by the master and quickly fled.
Young Master is so terrifying! Qiao Sheng was so scared that he fell down frequently along the way, and he was still looking for Xiang Qinglian's whereabouts everywhere.
Because he deeply felt that only she could restore his master's usual carefree and restrained appearance, not like now, especially unpredictable and gloomy to the point of making one's limbs go weak.
"Xiang Wa 'er, didn't you go back to Green Dou City?”
Old Minister Zhangsun, who had just returned to the mansion from outside, suddenly saw a pair of familiar figures tugging at the door. He immediately widened his old eyes in shock.
"Old Master, if you want an answer, go and ask your good grandson what shameful things he has done to this lady. Also, please don't play this ridiculous game of finding a granddaughter-in-law with a portrait in the future. Forgive me for not playing along.”
She didn't mean to get angry at the Old Master, but he was the one who started it. At the same time, he ruined her carefree life. What made her even more indignant was that she was being used, and Zhangsun Qi was even toying with her like a monkey. She had had enough!
" Xiang Wa 'er, you…" Was this something Xiang Wa' er would say? The Xiang Wa 'er in his memory was gentle and obedient. How could she suddenly change overnight?
Could it be that Qi 'er had said," Xiang Baby, don't go. Grandpa will make a decision for you. Come back." Unfortunately, no matter how much the old minister tried to persuade Xiang Qinglian to stay, he could not make her stay.
It was over. His granddaughter-in-law had run away, and his great-grandson had no place to go.
Zhangsun Qi, you unfilial grandson!
The exasperated Minister Zhangsun rushed all the way to Zhangsun Qi's courtyard." Zhangsun Qi!”Old Minister Zhangsun might be old, but when he roared, he was full of energy, and his aura did not lose to a young man at all.
When the furious Minister Zhangsun stepped into the reception hall, Zhangsun Qi was still sitting on the big chair without moving, as if he had been in this position for a long time.
"Tell me, tell me in detail why Xiang Wa 'er is so angry.”Old Minister Zhangsun almost tripped over the scattered chicken bones on the ground.
Zhangsun Qi remained silent with his eyes lowered.
"Tell me! How did you make Xiang Wan leave?" The hand that was pointing at Zhangsun Qi was trembling with anger.
Compared to Minister Zhangsun's anger, Zhangsun Qi was much calmer.
"Do you know that before Xiang Wa 'er left, she actually told me that this was a ridiculous game and even said,"
"She's right. Grandpa's act of choosing a wife is ridiculous.”Zhangsun Qi suddenly raised his eyes and interrupted him, his tone revealing a strong sense of mockery.
"If you think it's funny, you shouldn't have agreed to my request back then!”Old Minister Zhangsun's roar shook the roof. However, he seemed to have forgotten that he could not tolerate others 'rejection, so he had asked his grandson to agree in a pitiful manner.
"Can I not agree?" Zhangsun Qi reminded him with a smile.
His old face turned green and red, and then he roared,"Alright, since you agreed, why did you chase her away?”
"Humph! I only promised you to bring her back immediately. From the beginning to the end, I never agreed to marry her. Grandpa, don't be mistaken about this.”
"What are you saying? I told you to bring her back because I want you to marry her!”Only now did Minister Zhangsun realize that he had fallen into his grandson's trap from the beginning.
"Oh! I see. Please forgive your grandson's ignorance.”Zhangsun Qi sneered.
"You, you! Qi 'er, listen to your grandfather and bring Xiang Wan back, okay?”With a change in the topic, Old Minister Zhangsun sighed deeply and advised earnestly.
"Impossible." He said it firmly, but his heart wavered slightly.
"Qi 'er, could it be that you're willing to give Xiang Wa' er to Chu Ying?”He didn't know why Xiang Wa 'er was with Chu Ying, but he had lived for so long and knew many things. For example, he knew that Qi 'er wasn't indifferent to the child, so he deliberately provoked his temper to see if he could let go of the knot in his heart and truly do what he wanted.
"It's none of my business who she likes to be with.”However, why was it that when he thought of the intimate scene of Xiang Qinglian snuggling up in his junior brother's arms, his emotions could not help but surge again, and it was out of control?
"Alright, since you've decided to give up, I don't want to force you anymore. When I get Xiang Wa 'er's invitation, I'll remember to inform you.”
Zhangsun Qi still did not get up after Old Minister Zhangsun left. He sat quietly until the evening breeze blew and the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
Two months later.
"Lian 'er, my good Lian' er, guess what new and interesting thing dad bought for you this time?”Minister Xiang, who had arrived at the water pavilion, carefully held a wooden box in his hands. Then, he mysteriously came to Xiang Qinglian's side and held the wooden box in front of her as if he was fawning over her.
"Crickets!" Xiang Qinglian glanced at him disinterestedly, her hands still supporting her chin, her eyes staring blankly at the green pond.
"Daughter, I think this is good. You choose one, and Father also chooses one. Let's play cricket. Let's see if Father's Sea Dragon King will win or if your Giant is stronger.”
"I don't want to play." Xiang Qinglian replied indifferently.
"Lian 'er, quickly tell father who the person who kidnapped you is. When father gets someone to capture him, I'll immediately skin him alive and vent your anger!”Seeing his daughter's dejected appearance, Minister Xiang couldn't help but shout angrily.
Ever since Young Master Dan had saved her, she had always looked like she had a lot on her mind. When he asked her what had happened, she always kept quiet.
Sigh! He used to wish that his daughter could be as quiet and elegant as she was now. However, when he saw her like this, he felt something was wrong. He really wanted his daughter to concoct a new variety of ginseng tea for him to drink. He also wanted to see her mischievously climb up the tree and take the opportunity to show a ghost face to scare him.
"Father, don't ask anymore. I hate to mention that bastard.”Xiang Qinglian threw a tantrum.
"But that bastard harmed my daughter to this extent. As her father, how can I not ask?”Minister Xiang was also furious.
" Alright, I'll tell you. He is." Xiang Qinglian, who almost blurted it out, paused. She supported her chin again and looked at the lake in a daze." Father, please let me have some peace and quiet!"”
Even though she deliberately dragged Dan Chuying to extend the time to go home, she still did not see him standing at the door of the Xiang family's house and saying to her, I regret it.
Damn it! Damn it! Zhangsun Qi has caused you so much trouble and said such harsh words. What are you still expecting? Xiang Qinglian pinched her thigh hard as she thought to herself.
"Then I'll look for you to play when I raise the cricket a little bigger.”His daughter's absent-mindedness made Minister Xiang even more determined to carry out the interrupted son-in-law recruitment. Even though there had been rumors about her in Green Dou City ever since her daughter had returned home, her daughter was still by his side after all, and no one could bully her.
Minister Xiang had just stepped out when Dan Chuying followed him into the pavilion.
"Sister Lian, Brother Dan, come!"
"Go away, don't bother me!"
Xiang Qinglian's fierce anger made Dan Chuying take half a step back. "Sister Lian, you scared me to death!”He had a strange smirk on his face, but he still patted his chest in a very fake manner.
"Humph!" Xiang Qinglian turned her head and ignored him.
"I say, Sister Lian, you can't treat Brother Dan as something you don't want after you've used him!”
"Don't ever mention the word 'use' to me again.”She was the victim.
"But I can't not mention it. You used me as a shield to anger Senior Brother Zhangsun. After that, you used my wealth to force me to bring you around to enjoy the mountains and rivers and taste the delicacies. It cost me almost 200 taels."
"Didn't you also receive the one thousand gold taels my father gave you?”Hmph, he actually dared to complain!
"Hey, so Brother Dan wants to reveal a good news to you. I guarantee that you will be extremely happy after hearing it!”Dan Chuying suddenly whispered into her ear with an ambiguous expression.
Xiang Qinglian did not believe that he would say anything good.
He and Zhangsun Qi were worthy of being fellow disciples. They were both kind on the outside and vicious on the inside.
"Don't be in a hurry to scold me. Brother Dan's news will definitely make you so happy that you won't be able to sleep for three days.”However, hehe! Sleeping here is not sleeping there.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don't keep muttering in my ear.”Happy? Hmph, she was afraid that she would never know what happiness was in this life.
"Your eldest grandson is here."
"Who did you say came?" Dan Chuying spoke so softly that Xiang Qinglian almost couldn't hear him, but her heart was beating fast.
"Who else? Of course it's your sweetheart!”
"Nonsense, I don't have anyone I like. Who are you talking about?”Xiang Qinglian's body instantly tensed up and she was trembling slightly.
"Aiyo, how many times do you want me to say it?”
"Cut the crap and tell me!" Xiang Qinglian stood up excitedly and shouted at Dan Chuying, who looked like a ruffian.
"Alright, don't be agitated. Brother Dan is here to solemnly inform you that your Zhangsun husband has already arrived in Green Dou City.”#
