Chapter 98: Backfire
The little รท said โ Net], the โ little รท said โ Net],
"It's okay to stay at home, so I'm just coming to see you." As he spoke, Chu Qinghe's eyes stared at Xue Su for a moment, holding the woman's shoulders with his big palms, although his strength was not large, the meaning of protection was very obvious.
Liansheng stood aside, seeing that his uncle and aunt's relationship was so good, he couldn't help but purse his lips and snicker.
When the family got into the carriage, she complained, "Uncle, you don't know, the trouble that Xiao Yingnian had just found in the New Year was too bad. โ
The man's thick eyebrows were furrowed, and his resolute face showed a trace of unhappiness, and he said, "I was behind the flower stand before, and I also heard what Xiao Shi said, like that kind of vicious woman, you don't have to pay attention to it, today's humiliation, he will definitely get it back with interest one day!" โ
The time to get married is not short, Xue Su knows that Chu Qinghe is the same character, if he really confronts the Chengenhou Mansion for himself, what should he do? Shui Runxing's eyes overflowed with obvious worry, her body stiffened, and she hurriedly persuaded, "It's just a little woman, just a few sour words, it's nothing, and you won't be angry because of this little thing, you must not make a big fuss." โ
Seeing that his little wife cared so much about him, Chu Qinghe's heart was hot, and his Adam's apple slid up and down, if it weren't for Liansheng being in the carriage, he would definitely hug the Jiao'er in front of him into his arms and plug the ruddy little mouth.
The carriage soon arrived at Tonghua Lane, and as soon as the family of three entered the main hall, Steward Li followed with a strong look of respect on his face:
"Master Hou, Mrs. Tan is outside the door with two young ladies."
As soon as she heard that the Tan family was outside, Xue Su felt a pain in her forehead, and she didn't know where she had offended them.
Chu Qinghe felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, and didn't want her to be bothered by these irrelevant people, so he turned his head to look at Lian Sheng, and said in a deep voice, "Take your aunt back to the room to rest, don't let her get tired." โ
The little girl nodded with a serious face, pulled Xue Su's wrist, and couldn't wait to see and listen to all directions when she walked, this cautious appearance made her laugh, but she didn't know what to say.
Straight back to the room, she washed the makeup off her face, and then lay on the bed and squinted for a while.
Main Hall.
Mrs. Tan sat on the Eight Immortals Chair, looked around with phoenix eyes, and found that Xue Su was not in the house, the smile on her face was slightly retracted, leaned forward, and asked, "Qinghe, didn't Su Niang come back with you?" Why don't you see people? โ
Mrs. Tan originally went to the flower banquet with the purpose of repairing the relationship with Xue Su, but unexpectedly, because of her niece's run, she pushed people farther and farther, not to mention, and she ruined her reputation, thinking of the words muttered by those ladies, saying that the daughter of the Xiao family is talented and unvirtuous, and her mind is vicious, and this kind of immoral woman is unbearable to be a wife, she is angry and her heart hurts.
Chu Qinghe has a lot of respect for Mrs. Tan, even if he is not very happy, he will not be less respectful, he said, "Since Su Niang was pregnant, I always felt a little tired, I just stayed in the princess's mansion for a long time, and fell asleep in the carriage, I sent her directly back to the room, and just returned to the main hall, I learned that my righteous mother came to the door." โ
When speaking, the man didn't sweep Xiao Yingnian's eyes, as if this woman didn't exist at all.
Xiao Yingnian's eyes showed resentment, her nails picked at her palms, leaving a few crescent-shaped bruises, thinking that she was a dignified lady of the Hou Mansion, and she actually wanted to be soft with a village woman who couldn't be on the stage, how could the Xue family? She doesn't deserve it at all!
Yu Guang glanced at his cousin, and seeing her expression, Tan Yuanqing secretly shook his head. Although she didn't look down on Xue Su in her heart, she understood that this time was different from the past, Chu Qinghe, as an auxiliary marquis, had a heavy army, which was much stronger than the powerful people in the capital who coveted comfort, and he couldn't be offended, once he really turned his face and didn't recognize people, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Hearing that Xue Su had already rested, Mrs. Tan frowned slightly, secretly scolded her for having no rules, and paused for a moment before saying, "I was in the princess's mansion, Yingnian was ignorant and provoked Su Niang, this child is not bad in nature, but he is more straightforward, I don't want Su Niang to give birth to mustard, so I came over with Yingnian to apologize, why don't you call her out, let's explain the misunderstanding?" โ
Every time Mrs. Tan said a word, Chu Qinghe's face became gloomy, and the evil aura in his body became more and more intense, as if the evil beast that chose people to devour could tear them apart.
"Mother-in-law, pay attention to the word fairness in everything, Xiao deliberately humiliated Su Niang, can you cover up the past with a straightforward sentence? Although I was born in a mud leg and have never read any books, I also know that I can't be arrogant and belittle others, what the Xiao family did at the flower viewing banquet didn't take my Chu family in my eyes at all, so why apologize? โ
Chu Qinghe took Xiao one by one, his voice was like a bell, and his momentum was compelling, which frightened Xiao Yingnian so much that his face turned pale, and big drops of cold sweat flowed down the corners of his forehead, her fingertips trembled, and she picked up a handkerchief and wiped it gently, but she couldn't wipe it clean no matter what.
Mrs. Tan was a little shocked, she didn't expect Chu Qinghe to know so clearly about this matter, it must be the Xue family who was playing right and wrong, otherwise how could a dignified auxiliary marquis and a high-ranking official be bothered with a fifteen-year-old girl?
Taking a deep breath, she forced a smile and said, "My stepmother also said that she brought Yingnian over to apologize to Su Niang, the affairs of her daughter's family are not as complicated as you think, it's just a joke or two, how can it be said that it is deliberately humiliated?" โ
Mrs. Tan brought out her identity in order to suppress Chu Qinghe, she knew that the person in front of her was very filial to Tan Zheng, and regarded Bixing as a brother, with their father and son, the Chu family and the Tan family would never tear their faces.
She played her abacus very well, but Chu Qinghe didn't buy it at all, the man's eagle eyes flashed with cold light, and he looked at Xiao Yingnian fixedly, and his tone was extremely mocking, "Miss Xiao was born in the Chengenhou Mansion, she is a natural nobleman, it is normal to look down on ordinary people like us, but in thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, the Xiao family can be rich for a while, and it may be rich for a lifetime?" โ
As soon as these words came out, not only Xiao Yingnian's face changed greatly, but Mrs. Tan felt that her eyes were dark, she was the aunt and grandmother of Chengenhou Mansion, if Chu Qinghe really faced her mother's family for a woman, this would be a big disaster!
Xiao Yingnian was in a cold sweat, wetting all the clothes on her body, with tears in her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Master Hou, the little woman knows that she is wrong, how can you forgive me?" โ
Even at this time, Xiao Yingnian didn't really admit her mistake, she showed a sad and pitiful look on her face, but her eyes were surging with anger, she couldn't wait to tear up Xue Su's slut, if it weren't for her, the surname Chu wouldn't threaten herself, like this kind of disaster, she deserves to be immersed in the pig cage, she doesn't deserve to live in the world at all!
The perception of people who practice martial arts is much keener than that of ordinary people, and Chu Qinghe can see the killing intent on a woman's body clearly.
His thin lips hooked slightly, and he sneered, "My wife doesn't dare to ask Miss Xiao to apologize, otherwise she will lose her position in the coming day and be eaten alive by you." โ
Seeing that things were developing in an uncontrollable direction, Tan Yuanqing was secretly anxious, she opened her mouth and said softly, "Brother Yi, for the sake of Daddy's face, you can forgive the New Year, she doesn't dare anymore." โ
Chu Qinghe's face was tense, and he neither nodded nor shook his head.
Tan Yuanqing continued, "Yingnian has just turned fifteen, and she is spoiled by her family, so she will do such an unruly thing at the flower-viewing banquet, and when she returns to the Hou Mansion, her uncle and aunt will definitely punish her severely. โ
I have to say that compared to Mrs. Tan and Xiao Yingnian, Tan Yuanqing is much smarter, she first moved out of Tan Zheng to curb Chu Qinghe's anger, and then mentioned Xue Su, which eased the momentum of the man a little.
After a while, Chu Qinghe waved his hand and finally spoke: "Mother-in-law, go back first, I know how to deal with this matter." โ
Hearing this, Xiao Yingnian didn't regret it, if he had known that bullying Xue Su's slut would lead to the current result, even if he borrowed another hundred guts from her, he wouldn't dare to mess around at the flower viewing banquet.
Now that the Xiao family has completely offended the Fuguo Marquis Mansion to death, after returning home, her father and mother will punish her for not saying anything, and her brother and sister-in-law may also peel her skin, and she has lost face before, and she has become a person who lacks virtue in the eyes of her daughters, how can she still gain a foothold in the capital in the future?
Shen Si left the Chu family, and the three of them sat in the carriage, Mrs. Tan gritted her teeth with hatred, but she counted her strength: "Qinghe is really confused, but a little thing, he is so resentful, even if he wants to stand up for the Xue family, he shouldn't be so nonsense." โ
After this incident, Tan Yuan realized that Chu Qinghe had already taken care of Xue Su at the tip of his heart, and refused to let that woman suffer the slightest grievance, if he offended her again, it would be really unwise.
"Mother, it's our fault, don't blame others."
The mother and daughter were talking next to them, Xiao Yingnian was silent, her head was leaning against the wall of the car, and her eyes were red and her eyes were really pitiful, but the poor person must have something to hate, if she didn't die, things wouldn't be like this.
"Welcome the New Year, don't think too much, the Chengen Hou Mansion has a very sacred heart, and it is many times stronger than others, Chu Qinghe is a military general, if he wants to kill the enemy on the battlefield and feed those soldiers, he will definitely not dare to offend Wenchen to death."
Hearing this, Xiao Yingnian shook his head, thinking in his heart how to deal with it, it is true that their family is noble, but they have no real power, and wanting to deal with the Auxiliary Marquis is tantamount to a fool's dream.
Unless...... You can find a respected backer.
The carriage sent Xiao Yingnian home first, and after she left, only the mother and daughter of the Tan family were left in the carriage.
Mrs. Tan sighed lowly, "Yingnian is really too ignorant, your father originally hoped that we would win the hearts of Chu Qinghe and his wife, but today it backfired, if she does anything inappropriate in the future, I am afraid that I will not be able to control it, I only hope that Chu Qinghe's subordinates will be merciful and save some face for the Chengenhou Mansion." โ
