Quick Wear: Everyone dislikes you, but you are always coveted by the boss

Chapter 173 The Evil Fall of Gaoling Flower 14

Zhou Yimian on the side was gritting her teeth. She had always liked Zhu Ci'an, but no matter how many times she hinted at him, he always rejected her lightly.

Now that Shen Qingyu has arrived, he approaches her with such eager eyes. Who with a discerning eye could not see the meaning behind his behavior?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. When more and more people gathered over there, she suddenly moved closer in a friendly manner.

"Everyone, this is my uncle's new concubine, Shen Qingyu. Although she looks young, she is a married woman, so please don't offend Meng Lang with your words."

This joking remark instantly made the people around him widen their eyes, "But isn't your uncle..." dead?

The last few words were swallowed tactfully. After all, it was somewhat unlucky to bring up this matter in such an occasion.

But on second thought, wouldn't it be more unlucky to have a widow who killed her newlywed husband come here?

Everyone's strange gazes turned to Qing Wan, but they saw that she was not uncomfortable at all, as if she did not hear the sarcasm in Zhou Yimian's words at all. Instead, she patted Zhou Yimian on the shoulder like an elder.

"She is right. Although I am a married woman, my eldest niece is still unmarried. Which gentleman here is interested in her?"

She grabbed Zhou Yimian without saying a word, and suddenly raised her voice like a street vendor shouting to sell things.

"Zhou Yimian from the Zhou family, 17 years old, with fair skin and tender flesh, a thin waist, long legs and a big butt. She can give birth to a son at first glance. Who wants her?"

As soon as this loud voice was raised, everyone scattered in the garden glanced over. The hidden disgust and aversion made Zhou Yimian, who had been the center of attention since childhood, so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.

She pulled Qing Wan's arm with great force and hatred, trying to warn her secretly.

But how could a village girl with "little vision" see the depth of the matter? When she pinched him, Qingwan wailed with an exaggerated expression.

"How can you be so ungrateful? I'm doing this for your own good, but you're pinching me! It hurts so much, let go!"

As she was about to pull her hand out, Zhou Yimian's eyes flashed with malice. Taking advantage of her strength, he pretended to be thrown out by her, staggered and fell directly to the ground.

Her forehead happened to hit the corner of the table, and blood came out immediately.

"what!"

The timid ladies around screamed in fear, which suddenly attracted the attention of several noble ladies who had just entered.

"Mianmian!"

When Han Yuhuan saw the blood on her precious daughter's head, she panicked for a moment and hurried forward to help her.

"How did you fall like this? Does it hurt?"

The tearful words seemed to make Qing Wan feel a little helpless. Just as she was about to explain, Han Yuhuan, with tears in her eyes, suddenly looked up.

"Qingyu, our Mianmian has never offended you, why do you have to do this? We gave you the carriage you asked for, but now you still want to kill our Mianmian?"

Mrs. Zhu, with a grim expression on her face, also strode over, and was so angry that she could hardly keep her composure.

She had chosen this day with great care. It should have been a happy occasion, but it happened to be related to blood. Which host would be happy about this?

Unable to hold back any longer, Madam Zhu said coldly, "Madam Zhou, please go back. My Zhu Family Temple is too small to accommodate a big Buddha like you!"

Qing Wan said anxiously: "It wasn't me who pushed her..."

"Do you think everyone here is blind?!"

Madam Zhu raised her voice and scolded, "You are just a concubine! You are relying on the power of the Prime Minister and dare to take action against the children of the Zhou family. Are you trying to rebel against the heaven?!"

Liu Yuanying, who was standing behind, was secretly happy, but he put on an appearance of a peacemaker and deliberately came out to provide fuel.

"Madam Zhu, please don't argue with her. She has only been in the Zhou family for a short time. She has been living in the village before. No one taught her. She is illiterate and has never read any sage books to enlighten her mind. Naturally, she is a little reckless."

These seemingly exculpatory words actually seemed to hit Qing Wan's sore spot. She seemed to mind that people always used her illiteracy to criticize her, and she was even more agitated than before.

"Who said I can't read? How could I not have read enough books of sages? If you don't know, don't talk nonsense!"

To prove this, she looked around hurriedly, and when she saw the wooden couplets on both sides of the foyer, she pointed and read aloud.

"The gate faces...a mountain, a hundred, a hundred..."

The words that followed were too complicated and seemed to stump her. She couldn't pronounce them even though her face turned red.

Some noble ladies who were full of malice could not help but burst out laughing, which made Qing Wan feel ashamed, angry and annoyed, and her eyes were red.

Zhou Yinghuai, who came in from outside, saw this scene and his eyes dimmed instantly. The pearl earrings hooked between his fingertips were directly pinched by him, leaving a tiny crack.

The ferocious and violent aura seemed to lower the temperature in the garden a little. When everyone turned around and saw it, they turned pale with shock.

In an instant, all whispers died down, and the atmosphere became so heavy that even the breath seemed to be icy.

Zhou Yinghuai turned a blind eye, stepped forward, lowered his eyelids and asked calmly: "What are you laughing at?"

The cold words hit everyone's ears, causing those who had laughed at him earlier to instantly get goose bumps.

In the tense atmosphere, Madam Zhu forced a stiff smile and spoke to smooth things over: "The Prime Minister..."

"Let me ask you, what were you laughing at just now?"

Zhou Yinghuai raised his voice a bit and interrupted Madam Zhu almost rudely. His uncontrollable anger scared the timid ladies so much that their eyes suddenly turned red, and even Madam Zhu turned a little pale.

Qing Wan, wiping her tears pitifully, looked at him quietly, and the first thing she saw was the love in his heart.

After accumulating for a month, it doesn't look like a lot, but the color is very dark and sticky, and it looks like a beautiful little black dragon swimming around.

She tried, but still couldn't pull it free.

But if we force the person out, things will be much easier later on.

Having achieved her goal, Qing Wan had no intention of delaying any longer. She wiped away her tears, suppressed her sobs, and walked up to Zhou Yinghuai like a wilted cabbage and tugged at his sleeve.

"Ying Huai, I want to go home."

The crying tone was so pitiful that Zhou Yinghuai's heart curled up when he heard it. The sour and astringent feeling made him extremely uncomfortable.

But no matter how his emotions were turbulent, his expression remained indifferent, and he even restrainedly and distantly pulled away the sleeve in Qingwan's hand.

"Everyone present here has read a lot of poetry and has great literary talent. But don't you know what reading and writing are for? You don't even have the most basic respect, and you are complacent and arrogant. If this kind of banquet is to encourage such unhealthy trends, there is no need to continue holding it."

It was the first time that everyone saw the Prime Minister, who was usually cold and introverted, get so ruthlessly angry, and for a country girl who could not read a single word.

Although I know Qing Wan is Zhou Yinghuai's daughter, but she is so beautiful...

Who can bear it?
