Chapter 064:-for-tat
Without looking at her flushed face, Xia Hanqiu turned around, "Mrs. Fu, since there is my old man in your mansion, I should go to see you, I don't know if it will surprise your guest?" β
Mrs. Fu's eyes swept over Zhang Qiao'er, pinched the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, when she didn't understand the confrontation between the two sisters just now, she stepped forward with a smile and said, "Since you are an old man, you should see each other, I know where he is, come with me." β
"Madame, please."
Fu Yingying stepped forward to hold Xia Hanqiu's hand, and whispered in a voice that everyone around her could hear: "Aren't you surnamed Xia?" How did you become sisters with the surname Zhang? β
"The surname Zhang has only been with me for thirteen years, but the surname Xia will follow me for a lifetime, so I am surnamed Xia." Xia Hanqiu held her hand, Fu Yingying realized how cold and wet her palm was, she was busy holding it tightly, her heart was so distressed, she suddenly had an idea when she got to the front yard, let go of her hand when she arrived at the front yard, turned around and told her maid a few words, seeing that the maid was still struggling in her heart, I don't know if I was doing it right.
But whatever, let Qiu pass the current level first.
Qi Zhensheng came to the pavilion this time to discuss a few things with the city lord of Fucheng on behalf of Qian Yingcheng, the city lord of Wuyang, which was not important, but it was enough to make him outstanding among his peers.
Away from the troublesome political affairs, the lord of Fucheng was an elegant person, and at this time he was sitting opposite Qi Zhensheng in the pavilion on the small lake in the courtyard.
In the pond full of lotus flowers, he had a very happy conversation with a young man who was very talented in words, and the demeanor of the lord of the city was very leisurely.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the two of them followed the prestige in unison.
Seeing the person in front of him, Qi Zhensheng hurriedly stood up, "Mrs. Fu." β
Truly an excellent person. But Mrs. Fu no longer has a good impression of him, and people's hearts are biased. Hanqiu is so painful that she can't help but favor her.
"You sit. No need to be polite. β
Fu Rui raised his head slightly and looked at Madame with a smile, "Madam, but is there something?" β
"The concubine has nothing to do, just to show people the way." After saying that, he let go of the body.
Mrs. Fu was slightly taller than several of the women present, she stood in front and just stopped the few people behind, and when Qi Zhensheng got up to salute, he saw Miss Fu, but she was an unmarried woman. How dare he look at it too much, he just lowered his gaze at a glance, so he didn't see Xia Hanqiu beside her.
But when Mrs. Fu stood away, Xia Hanqiu, who was standing behind her, revealed her figure.
At this time, Qi Zhensheng didn't recognize anyone.
Also, she didn't even raise her head at that time, how could this person remember herself. Xia Hanqiu only felt a breath in his heart, he couldn't go up and down, and he was uncomfortable.
It's so uncomfortable that she wants to make the person who makes her uncomfortable even more uncomfortable.
"Young Master Qi, long time no see."
A somewhat familiar voice made Qi Zhensheng's heart full of doubts. Which lady is this?
"Don't remember? Qi Gongzi is really a noble man who forgets things. β
Zhang Qiao'er glanced at Xia Hanqiu with bad intentions, "Husband, she is Zhang Hanqiu." β
"Zhang ......" Qi Zhensheng froze all over. The two daughters of the Zhang family, it was Zhang Hanqiu who had a marriage contract with him first. But how could she be here?
"I'm not the daughter of the Zhang family for a long time. I can't afford to use the surname Zhang, if Gongzi Qi doesn't dislike it, call me Miss Xia. β
"Zhang Hanqiu, don't kick your nose in the face."
Xia Hanqiu looked at Zhang Qiao'er with a smile.
Zhang Qiao'er was not stupid, she immediately understood when she saw it, and she immediately blushed, wishing that there was a hole in the ground for her to hide.
Qi Zhensheng's face was not very good-looking, "Qiao'er is anxious, Zhang ...... Miss Xia, don't care, Qiao'er, come here. β
Zhang Qiao'er stood obediently behind her husband with a victorious face, and the bird looked like a human.
Coughing lightly, Qi Zhensheng looked at Xia Hanqiu with an unnatural expression, only to find that this woman he had never seen with his eyes actually had a face that was not inferior to Qiao'er, not Qiao'erjiao, but her cold appearance was more beautiful than Qiao'er, which made people unable to take their eyes off.
"I didn't expect Miss Xia to be in the Huiting, no wonder my father-in-law sent a lot of people and couldn't find you at that time."
The panic and embarrassment of that night Xia Hanqiu still remembers it at this time, and the person who destroyed her the most was the person in front of him, how could he still put on such a sanctimonious appearance, it was like this in the previous life, and in this life, it is still the same.
She couldn't help but be sharp at this man.
"I was really hoping to get me back...... I'm afraid that there is only a family treasure, and Gongzi Qi lives up to the name of being young and romantic, and it seems that it has become a good thing for Miss Zhang this time. β
The matter of being on the stage was mentioned by such a big thorn, or in front of the whole family of the city lord of the pavilion, Qi Zhensheng couldn't hold it on his face, but he couldn't take his eyes off, he had never seen such a cold and aura woman!
He couldn't think of any other words to describe it except for coldness, but what was even worse was that her coldness covered her whole person with a layer of color, and he couldn't help but think that this person laughed, and he didn't know what it looked like.
But this man, now hostile to him, is least likely to smile at him.
"Miss Xia, it's me and Qiao'er I'm sorry for you, it's not easy to be out alone, my father-in-law's temperament has long passed, it just so happens that Qiao'er and I came over, it's better to go back with us, Jiabao must be very happy."
"I'm not the daughter of the Zhang family for a long time, I can't afford to use that back word, it's not easy to be alone, but it's better than in the Zhang family, the Zhang family, there has never been a place for me." Xia Hanqiu didn't want to reminisce so peacefully, and looked behind Zhang Zhensheng provocatively, "Zhang Qiao'er, did my fire burn all the dowry left by my mother?" β
"...... you" Zhang Qiao'er had a ghost in her heart, and she became suspicious when she said this, could it be that Zhang Hanqiu knew her mother's plan? This...... How can it be!
"I know." Xia Hanqiu maliciously hooked the corners of his lips, revealing a smile that was not a smile, "It's not enough to get my fiancΓ©, but also to seek my dowry, I know your and your mother's plans." β
"So you're going to burn it......" Zhang Qiao'er muttered, tantamount to admitting this.
"Yes, I can't hold it, but I don't want to cheapen you either." Xia Hanqiu looked at Qi Zhensheng, "Young Master Qi, what kind of role do you play in this matter?" β
Qi Zhensheng was speechless by the sadness in his eyes, in this matter, he, Qiao'er, father-in-law and mother-in-law, no one was clean, and the sacrifice was this woman who never had much to do, and was called to look at each other and just lowered her head, and was disgusted by him at that time for too many rules.
The current Zhang Hanqiu, if it weren't for Qiao'er to say it, he wouldn't have recognized it at all.
She was dressed in cloth, and she had to hold her hair with a simple hairpin on her body, and she was dressed like any ordinary person, but no one would really think of her as a commoner.
She is too calm, her aura is too powerful, and it is more convincing to say that she wears cloth clothes just because she thinks it is fun.
How could he have ...... at the time?
The adulterer and adulteress who harmed her for two lives are in front of her, Xia Hanqiu, who has always felt that she is too soft, only feels that there is a fire burning in her heart, this is her enemy, the enemy of two lifetimes, if she lets it go, how can she be worthy of the misery of her life.
It's not that she doesn't hate, it's just that she has too many scruples that she has to forget her hatred, and she pulls her eyes to cover her eyes when the matter is over, she can't let the Xia family get into trouble, she can't let Nian'er be exposed, and she can't embarrass her uncle......
But when both of them come to her to show their affection and sweetness, will she still have to endure it?
She couldn't bear it!
Therefore, knowing that it would make a few years of forbearance in vain, she still couldn't hold back.
"Qi Gongzi, I have thought about a question for a long time, can you explain it to me?"
Qi Zhensheng knew that this question was definitely not easy to answer, but he still nodded.
"I asked myself that I have never hurt anyone, from beginning to end, I am the most innocent one, when you and Zhang Qiao'er are together, have you ever thought about what will happen to me? Is it just because I'm harmless, even if I hurt, it doesn't matter? Zhang Qiao'er yelled at me and said that you are in love, what about you? What do you think? β
Xia Hanqiu asked very calmly, as if the thing she asked had nothing to do with her, and she didn't look forward to the answer so much.
The Kefu family, including Zhang Qiao'er behind him, all stared at him closely to see what kind of answer he could give.
Qi Zhensheng can enter the ranks at this age, and he still stands firm, his mind is extraordinary, and at this time, his heart is churning, and his face is also steady, and even the mood swings just now have been suppressed.
"I made my choice from the start."
This is his answer, because he chose Zhang Qiao'er from the beginning, so he will stand on her side no matter what.
So it doesn't matter if you hurt her, it doesn't matter if Zuihou wants her life.
"What an infatuation." Xia Hanqiu looked at Zhang Qiao'er, "You get what you dreamed of, you will definitely lose another thing that is more important than life for women, I assert, you will not have children and grandchildren, you, believe it or not?" β
"You're talking nonsense." Zhang Qiao'er, who has not moved her stomach for more than half a year after being married, is already under pressure, and she is even more panicked when she says this, she is weak-hearted, she is afraid, afraid of being made into a prophecy, and the words of counterattack pierce people's hearts, "You just see that your husband protects me unwillingly, you are jealous, you deserve to marry......"
"Yo, madam, are you joking, Miss Xia can't get married? There is a son who has sent me to the door to say that the matchmaker doesn't know how many times, Miss Xia always said that the eldest daughter who lost her heart would be bullied when she married in the past, why didn't she nod her head, Miss Xia is so capable and good-looking, I don't know how many people come to me to inquire, and I can't get married, how is it possible. β
Throwing the handkerchief came over was a woman with flowers on her head and plain makeup, Mrs. Fu recognized her, the famous matchmaker Fenggu in Huiting City, she had seen it many times for Yingying.
"The old woman has seen the Lord of Fucheng, and she has seen Mrs. Fu and Miss Fu."
"Excuse me, Aunt Feng, why are you here?"
"It's not because of Miss Xia, I didn't see anyone when I came to the door, thinking that I must have come to the City Lord's Mansion, my wife had to look for it with this old face." Aunt Feng bowed, looked at the woman with a calm expression with a smile on her face, and opened her mouth to talk nonsense, "Miss Xia, you can't hide in the City Lord's Mansion just because you know that I am going to come today, don't think that my wife will not dare to come to the City Lord's Mansion, Mrs. Fu and I can still talk a few words, Mrs. Fu, do you say yes."
