Chapter 114 Xu Qinghe No Longer Suffers
"We have already agreed before that one life will be exchanged for another. If I give the old princess a few more injections in the next two days, it will be considered as fulfilling my previous promise."
Cui waved her hand calmly. The tea on the table had been changed by Yuxiu, so she held the teacup and slowly took a few sips.
Several women surrounded the old princess and had endless things to say, with laughter audible from time to time. Yuxiu stood next to Cui, silently taking in everyone's facial expressions, trying to find some clues from them.
The room was full of women, so Xu Jinran and Xu Qinghe did not follow in. Instead, they stood in the yard waiting for the people in the room to call them before they could go in.
"Third Master, the old princess wants to see you. Please come in quickly."
Just when Xu Jinran's vicious gaze seemed to turn into a knife and stab Xu Qinghe's face directly, Nanny Lin walked to the door in small steps and shouted to Xu Jinran.
"Haha... I am the Third Master of this mansion. No matter how long you wait here, it will be a waste of time. If you know what's good for you, take your people and get out of here. Maybe I will leave your body intact because you got out so quickly..."
After delivering the message, Nanny Lin turned around and went back. Xu Jinran sneered at Xu Qinghe, stopped when he passed by him, and leaned close to him and said a few harsh words.
Xu Qinghe was very tall, but Xu Jinran looked very much like the people in the old Xu family, skinny and with little flesh on his body. Even if he stood on tiptoe, he could only reach Xu Qinghe's chin.
He originally wanted to act domineering and overbearing, but the height difference between them hindered his performance, making his movements look very funny.
However, Xu Qinghe was not at all respectful to him as he had been in the past few days. Even when he was ridiculed and threatened, he endured it silently. Instead, he looked fierce and raised his hand to push the man who was about to stick to him, and instantly pushed him to the ground.
"Oh my, what happened to the Third Master? He is such a grown man but he can't even stand steadily. He is not as strong as that old lady in her seventies or eighties. I don't know how he managed to marry and have children... Tsk tsk tsk..."
Seeing the man fall to the ground after being pushed by them, the servants in the yard looked over in surprise. Xu Qinghe suddenly chuckled, said something sarcastic, and stretched out his hand as if nothing had happened, and was about to pull Xu Jinran up.
"You...you dare to push me?"
Xu Jinran felt ashamed and angry, looking at Xu Qinghe in disbelief. She couldn't believe that the lowly bastard who used to be so timid as to not even fart, was so bold today that he actually dared to resist.
Could it be that as a grown man, he is still relying on the power of his wife?
It's really not shameful at all!
"Hehe... What is Third Master talking about? Get up quickly. The ground is so cold. If you get sick again, the old lady will worry about you again..."
Xu Qinghe ignored him and just picked him up like a chicken and made him stand up. Then he retreated to his previous position and stood there. His nonchalant look made Xu Jinran wonder if what happened just now was just an illusion.
In fact, what Xu Jinran didn't know was that Xu Qinghe dared to attack him not entirely because of his wife's power, but because when he looked at Xu Jinran's face that looked like Xu Qingjiang, he felt a surge of anger in his heart. He thought that it was not enough that they had oppressed him for so many years, and even had to flee from famine, and they still wanted to kill the lives of his family of three.
Oh, it’s not a family of three. Cui already has two babies in her belly, which means the lives of a family of five.
When Xu Qinghe thought about this, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a blunt knife. But Xu Jinran didn't know whether to live or die and insisted on getting right under his nose.
This was also because Xu Qinghe had just recovered from his injuries and did not have much strength, so he just pushed the man. If he recovered, the thing he wanted to do most was to pin the man to the ground and beat him up with his big fist.
"Third Master, hurry up."
Xu Jinran rubbed his butt which was hurt from the fall. This time he didn't dare to get close to Xu Qinghe. Just when he was about to say a few harsh words to save his face, he heard Nanny Lin coming out to urge him again. Then he glared at Xu Qinghe fiercely, shook off the dust on his body, gritted his teeth and quickly went into the house.
"Dad, let's let their family have some fun. We should go back to the inn."
After a while, Yuxiu came out supporting Cui, with the heavy medicine box in one hand.
"Hey, hurry up and give Dad the medicine box to carry."
After hearing his daughter's cry, Xu Qinghe's expression became much better. He hurried over to take the medicine box and put it on his shoulders. He also carefully asked Cui and Yuxiu if they were tired.
The three of them walked out of the yard, talking and laughing, and Princess Ning quickly followed them out with her men.
"Madam Cui, Brother Xu, please wait a moment."
The old princess could not be left without someone to look after her, so Princess Ning handed this task over to Second Madam Xie, and stepped out to arrange matters outside.
"There are plenty of guest rooms in the mansion. I will have someone arrange the largest courtyard for you and your family of three to live comfortably without any grievances..."
Princess Ning smiled humbly. In just a short period of time, after an acupuncture session, some medicine and a medicinal bath, the old princess's condition had changed so much. At this moment, she no longer had even the slightest doubt in her heart, only full conviction and admiration.
As expected, he is a disciple of the Divine Doctor Sect, someone who was personally taught by the legendary Divine Doctor Yang, so naturally he is very powerful. If such a divine figure came to her home, she would have to do everything she could to keep him. She would probably slap herself a few times when she woke up in the middle of the night.
"We appreciate the princess's kindness, but my mother needs to be well taken care of now, so we decided to buy a house in the capital and settle down there first."
Cui smiled but said nothing. Yuxiu stepped forward and told her about her family's arrangements. Then she bowed to Princess Ning and said with a smile:
"We are new to the capital and are unfamiliar with the place. Could you please send someone to show us the way? Once we have arranged everything, we can send the person back safely?"
Yuxiu said this to flatter Princess Ning. After all, the old princess lying in the room was also their relative. If you really counted it, Princess Ning could be considered Yuxiu's real aunt.
Thinking of the vicious and evil aunt Wang from the Xu family, and comparing her with the gentle and considerate Princess Ning, Yuxiu felt very complicated.
"Why do you need to buy a house? I just happen to have a nice house that's vacant. Both the location and the surrounding environment are very good. Why don't you give it to me to live in..."
When Princess Ning heard that Cui and her friends were planning to buy a house, she immediately had an idea. The house she was talking about was the largest one among her dowry. In the capital city where every inch of land is valuable, if it were really put up for sale, it would be a good house that people would scramble to buy.
