Chapter 135 The Dirty Man Who Contracted Venom
Qin Jiuwei felt guilty. "Husband, please don't say that. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been hurt."
She said gently, "You want to eat this steamed crucian carp, right? I'll get it for you."
Qin Jiuwei rarely helped others serve food; she didn't like doing such waitressing tasks.
However, Xie Yanli acted this way because of her, and Qin Jiuwei already felt extremely guilty.
Naturally, I wanted to do something for him.
She placed several pieces of fish on Xie Yanli's plate, all of them the best parts of the crucian carp.
They also served him a bowl of Xuexia soup and placed it next to him so he could drink it easily.
Seeing the smug look on Xie Yanli's face, Jiang Chirang gritted his teeth in anger.
"Husband, what else would you like to eat?" Qin Jiuwei asked gently.
"I want more." Xie Yanli drawled out each word, "Hibiscus Chicken Slices."
This is the topic that Qin Jiuwei and Jiang Chirang were discussing earlier.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chirang immediately tightened his right fist hidden in his sleeve.
Xie Yanli's eyes were cold and dark, and he raised his eyebrows slightly as he looked at him with a mocking gaze.
What does it matter how much time you spent together as children?
Jiuwei is his wife now, and always will be.
The meal ended in this lukewarm atmosphere.
Jiang Chirang found the food tasteless throughout the entire meal.
After finishing their meal, they left in a hurry.
Watching his departing figure, Xie Yanli's eyes grew even colder.
evening.
"Father, are you feeling any better today?"
Xie Jue knew he had done something wrong yesterday.
So as soon as I got back today, I went to the study to visit my seriously ill father.
Xie Jing and Xie Jingchun were also very worried.
The three of them stood together by the bed, staring intently at him.
Xie Yanli: ...
This feels even stranger.
Qin Jiuwei brought in the medicine and couldn't help but laugh and cry at the sight.
"Alright, stop crowding around here. Let your father get some fresh air too."
She walked to the bedside and sat down, looking at the three worried children beside her, and said gently, "Don't worry, your father is fine now."
This afternoon, in order to compete with another man, I even got out of bed to eat.
Hearing their mother say this, the three children breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Jiuwei stirred the medicine in the bowl with a porcelain spoon. "Husband, it's time to drink your medicine."
"Mother, let me do it! Let me feed Father his medicine!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Jue raised her little hand excitedly.
He expressed his filial piety to his father in a heartfelt manner.
Qin Jiuwei glanced at him, then turned to look at Xie Yanli.
Seeing that Xie Yanli did not object, he handed the medicine bowl to Xie Jue.
It was the child's wish after all.
It was Xie Jue's first time feeding someone medicine, and his movements were very clumsy.
After feeding him one bite, she immediately scooped up another spoonful.
Xie Yanli almost choked from being fed by him.
"Third brother, slow down, Father hasn't finished his last sip yet," Xie Jing couldn't help but remind him.
Xie Jingchun chuckled softly from the side.
She is so filial, truly so filial.
Chen Mansion.
"Chen Xiuming! You actually want to lay a hand on Jiang Yunzhu over a pair of shoes? Are you out of your mind?!"
As soon as Chen Xiuming returned home, his servants reported everything that had happened that day to his mother.
Chen's mother was furious after hearing this.
She glared at Chen Xiuming, "Didn't you know that Jiang Yunzhu's cousin is the wife of Prince Xie?"
"Do you have no idea of Xie Shizi's current position in the court? If she just whispers a few words in his ear, I'd like to see if you still want to be an official!"
Chen Xiuming pouted in dissatisfaction.
"The Emperor is about to bestow a marriage upon me, and we will be related by marriage. Prince Xie certainly won't do anything to me."
Mother Chen sneered, "Don't think that just because the Emperor has issued a decree, this marriage is a done deal!"
"Besides, the imperial edict hasn't been issued yet! There are many unpredictable variables in between."
"If we really anger the Jiang family, and they go to plead with Young Master Xie, it's uncertain whether the marriage will even go through!"
Chen Xiuming's back stiffened abruptly.
"Tomorrow, you should take gifts to the Jiang residence to apologize and ask Jiang Yunzhu for forgiveness."
Chen's mother sat down in the chair, looking exhausted.
“Mother.” Chen Xiuming frowned, a deep disgust flashing in his eyes. “I don’t want to go.”
"You're not going?" Chen's mother sneered. "If you don't go, I'll deal with your precious mistress!"
She said slowly, "You really think that if you hide her outside, I won't be able to find her?"
Chen Xiuming's eyes widened suddenly, "Mother, you..."
He pursed his lips and nodded reluctantly.
"Okay, I'll go find her tomorrow... and apologize."
The next day.
A carriage emerged from the Chen residence and slowly drove towards the Jiang residence.
Chen Xiuming frowned, his expression reluctant.
He lifted the curtain and looked out the window with great boredom, when he suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure.
He immediately called for the driver and strode down from the carriage.
Jiang Yunzhu was talking to Xiaoyun with a smile on her face when a familiar yet jarring voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Jiang Yunzhu, stop right there."
Her face immediately turned ugly.
Why is this man so persistent?
Jiang Yunzhu didn't want to pay attention, but Chen Xiuming stepped forward first and blocked her way.
Immediately afterwards, a pair of light red shoes embroidered with gold thread were handed to her.
Chen Xiuming looked at her, his voice sounding somewhat unnatural.
"What happened yesterday was my fault. You liked these shoes, didn't you? Here, take them back."
Jiang Yunzhu glanced at him coldly, "I don't want these shoes."
"What do you mean?" Chen Xiuming frowned immediately.
As the son of a count, he was willing to humble himself and apologize to her; Jiang Yunzhu should be eternally grateful.
Is she still throwing a tantrum?
Jiang Yunzhu's voice was icy, "These shoes have been worn by someone else, and I think they're dirty."
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Chen Xiuming's face was extremely ugly, and his voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth. "Who are you calling dirty?"
How dare she look down on Mengniang? She's not worthy of her!
"I'm talking to you." A clear and pleasant voice suddenly rang out.
Chen Xiuming had never heard this voice before, and he was taken aback, stopping in his tracks.
He turned his head in a daze and saw a woman in blue wearing a veil slowly approaching.
She was very beautiful, with a pair of captivating, sparkling eyes.
Qin Jiuwei walked to Jiang Yunzhu's side, reached out and grasped her wrist, pulling her towards herself and away from Chen Xiuming.
A dirty man who has contracted venereal disease.
I feel disgusted just looking at them.
Chen Xiuming remembered that on that day at the theater, it seemed that this same woman was accompanying Jiang Yunzhu.
Who is she?
However, after a moment's thought, Chen Xiuming scoffed dismissively.
Who cares who she is? She's just Jiang Yunzhu's friend. What trouble can she cause?
Chen Xiuming's gaze returned to Jiang Yunzhu, and he began to threaten her coldly.
"Jiang Yunzhu, I'm warning you, you'd better put away your pretentious temper, or you'll regret it after you get married."
