Chapter 187 King Haoshan's Relatives
Seeing that she couldn't get anything good from her, Zhao Lingling simply called Wu Weiwei and left. There would be plenty of opportunities to deal with her in the future.
When Wu Weiwei turned around, she looked at the stunned Yaoyao and angrily reached out to push her. Yaoyao didn't pay attention and stumbled to the ground, her delicate hands rubbing against the pebbles on the ground.
The maid exclaimed in alarm: "Miss Wu, what are you doing? Why do you treat my young lady like this again and again? What do you mean?"
"Yaoyao? Yaoyao, who did this?"
A young man who had squeezed in from the crowd in the distance hurried forward and leaned over to check her wound.
Yaoyao's eyes welled up when she saw her brother coming. The maid Cuizhu beside her knelt down and said, "Master, this Miss Wu has humiliated you time and again. This is not the first time you have been pushed down. It is my fault that I did not protect you. You only tried to persuade her a few times, and she..."
"Qi Yuyao, how many times have I told you not to associate with people who are not worth it? Have you turned a deaf ear to it?" Qi Wenyuan scolded with a cold face.
Zhao Lingling snorted coldly, flicked her sleeves and left with the maid. Wu Weiwei bit her lip and glanced at Qi Yuyao. A trace of embarrassment flashed across her face. When she glanced at the injured maid beside her, she became even more furious and walked out of the crowd angrily.
Qi Wenyuan looked at his sister's wound which was still bleeding, his face was terribly gloomy. At this time, Qu Jingyao shook her head helplessly and helped her because these two people were relatives of her grandfather.
Besides, she had reminded herself before...
"Let's wash her wound first. This medicine can prevent her from getting scars. Thank you for reminding me just now."
Qi Yuyao's originally wrinkled face suddenly relaxed when she looked at Qu Jingyao. She forced herself to smile despite the pain.
"Thank you, young lady. Have we met somewhere before?"
Qu Jingyao was stunned when she heard her words. Thinking of her own face just now, she realized that maybe this face was somewhat similar to her grandmother's...
It seems that I really can't show my true face in the future...
"Thank you, Miss Qi. May I ask who you are..."
"Master Jiu Linglong, there's no need to express your gratitude. I should thank you for your timely help. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."
Qu Jingyao called Ling'er and the master and servant walked towards the opposite direction of Lover's Bridge.
"Brother, I..."
Qi Yuyao looked at her brother timidly.
Qi Wenyuan sighed helplessly and tapped her forehead: "See if you will learn your lesson next time. I told you not to pay attention to those two."
"Brother..." Qi Yuyao's voice was sweet and drawn out, and she looked at him eagerly.
"Go back home!" He picked up his sister and walked away.
The servants and maids behind hurriedly followed the footsteps of their two masters.
At this time, Qu Jingyao and his servant arrived at the teahouse.
"Master, the cakes in this teahouse are famous in Bianliang City for being delicious."
"Oh? Then I'd like to give it a try."
Ling'er then called the waiter and brought a pot of the best Longjing tea and four plates of pastries.
The master and servant sat at the table in the private room, sipping tea while looking at the busy streets outside.
Ling'er looked at the small fire leaning against the table, which was nibbling on a piece of lotus cake. She couldn't help but be touched by its cuteness and laughed softly.
"Little Fire is so cute. How did you tame this fire fox, Master? I've heard from Daddy before that fire foxes are very rare and difficult to tame."
Qu Jingyao reached out and touched Xiaohuo's shiny red fur, a faint smile forming on her lips.
"Perhaps it was attracted by your master's beauty!"
Ling'er nodded vigorously and said proudly, "Master's beauty is so stunning that not only Xiaohuo but even she can be stunned sometimes. She can be said to be the most beautiful woman in Yanchu."
Qu Jingyao put her hands to her lips and giggled.
"Your master is not the most beautiful woman in Yanchu. When this shop opens in the future, I will leave after I finish my work. You must help me protect the shop well."
"Ah? Master, are you still leaving? This servant... this servant... is reluctant to let you go."
Ling'er likes the master in front of her very much. He seems cold but is actually very kind. Is it because their family has accumulated blessings in the past that they are lucky enough to meet the master?
She smiled and said that they would meet again in the future. Seeing Ling'er's lost expression, she changed the subject and asked where there were mountains around Bianliang City.
"Mountains? Twenty miles outside of Bianliang City lies the Yanyun Mountains. Master, is there something wrong?"
"Well, I'm going to go into the mountains someday."
When Ling'er heard this, she quickly waved her hand to stop them. The Yanyun Mountains are very large, and it is said that there is a group of snow wolves in it, so no one dares to go deep into it.
Hearing Snow Wolf, Xiaohuo raised his head in disdain and continued to fight with the plate of pastries.
Qu Jingyao's eyes suddenly lit up. She had never seen a snow wolf before, so she decided to go and take a look.
Ling'er saw that the more she persuaded her master, the more determined he became to go. She became afraid and kept muttering in her master's ear that many people had entered the Yanyun Mountains before and none of them had returned.
"No problem. Look, your master can even tame a little fire, so why would he be afraid of the snow wolf? Besides, your master also has ways to protect himself."
Ling'er looked at her master's determined eyes and didn't know what to say. She moved her mouth but didn't dare to say anything more.
At this time, a group of people on the street outside the window were rushing in one direction, and the master and servant looked at them curiously.
"What are they running for?"
"I'll go ask about the work outside." Ling'er stood up and walked out of the private room.
Qu Jingyao picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, listening to the noisy sounds outside.
After a while, Ling'er returned to the private room.
"Master, I've heard that these people went to the Li Mansion to watch the excitement. I heard that a huge fire suddenly broke out in the ancestral hall of the Li Mansion yesterday, and Master Li was so angry that he fainted.
Young Master Li, oh, the one who gambled with the master yesterday, was taken away by the government officials today. He deserved it. Maybe those thieves last night were hired by him..."
Ling'er was talking to her with her hands and feet dancing, and suddenly her voice stopped, as if the truth had suddenly come to her.
"Master, could it be that those people last night were Young Master Li..."
Qu Jingyao raised her eyebrows and looked at her, thinking that the girl finally got it.
When she saw her master's expression, she knew she was right. That guy couldn't afford to lose!
Seeing Ling'er angrily muttering and cursing the young master of the Li family, she laughed and calmed her down.
"Okay, Master, I'm fine, right?"
"Hmph, can he bear the responsibility if something happens to the master?" Ling'er's cheeks flushed red with anger, which was very cute. She stood with her hands on her hips like a little powder keg.
There was a sudden knock on the door of the private room outside.
The person who came was Qinglin, who was driving the carriage today...
