Chapter 259: There are plenty of fish
Ahri rolled up his sleeves and said, "Madam, don't worry. I will personally block the door. If one comes, I will beat one. If two come, I will beat a pair!"
Gu Feiwan quickly stopped him: "When you see someone, just quietly lead them in, but don't make a scene in public!"
Ahri smiled slyly: "Understood, let's fight behind closed doors!"
Gu Feiwan: “…”
Ahri turned around and jumped out happily. Ning Weizhou couldn't help laughing:
"I'm really surprised that my second brother, who is a man of few words and loves to calculate, would be attracted to such a heartless girl!"
Gu Feiwan glared at him: "A girl like Ali is suitable for my second brother. Otherwise, if you marry someone who is full of schemes, our house will become a den of foxes!!"
Ning Weizhou stood up and said, "Wang Zhong is still kneeling over there. I'll go over and try to persuade him first."
Gu Feiwan warned: "Qingshuang is unwilling now, so you should talk to him. It's rare for you to come home, so if there is a suitable girl at home, don't delay."
It's not that Gu Feiwan really cares about Wang Zhong, but as long as Wang Zhong gets engaged as soon as possible, the rumors here will be broken.
Although she and Qingshuang thought the same thing, that these gossips might not necessarily spread to the capital, it would naturally be better if they could be completely eliminated.
In the makeshift study room, Wang Zhong knelt on the ground and refused to get up.
Ning Weizhou sat behind the desk with a cold face: "Who are you threatening? Madam just said that even if you break your legs from kneeling, Qingshuang will not see you today! Get up and get out as soon as possible, so that your mother and sister won't come looking for you and cause another disturbance!"
Wang Zhong knelt down two steps, then lay on the desk, pleading with his eyes:
"General, please go and plead for me again. I don't ask for anything else, I just want to see Qingshuang. If she is fine, I will never bother her!"
"Snapped!"
Ning Weizhou slapped his palm on the desk and said, "You have made me lose face in front of the Madam! I thought you were reliable and I was willing to help you, but look at this, what kind of thing is this?"
"Do you think Qingshuang is the only one who is shameless now? When you beat a dog, look at its owner. You just slapped my wife in the face!"
"You have been with me in Beijing for so long, so you must know the rules of Beijing. If the maidservants around the master are not disciplined, it will affect the master's reputation!"
"I didn't beat you with a hundred military sticks because I saw your loyalty in the past. If you say one more word, I will send you back to the border immediately and you won't be with me anymore!"
Wang Zhong's face changed drastically. He was about to beg again, but Ning Weizhou said something even more ruthless:
"Also, from now on, remember one thing: Qing Shuang has nothing to do with you. It is not your business to ask about her life or death!"
Wang Zhonghu's eyes were filled with tears: "General, Madam has always been kind, could she blame Qingshuang?"
"Get out!" Ning Weizhou ordered them to leave.
Wang Zhong clung to the desk and refused to leave: "General, please, please let me see Qingshuang..."
"Deputy General Wang, let's go. There are too many people here. If we start a fight again, you will really kill Miss Qingshuang!"
Two soldiers came in from the door and dragged Wang Zhong.
Wang Zhong was reluctant at first, but after hearing the last sentence, he finally gave up and was dragged out of the door.
"Deputy General Wang, there are many better flowers in the world, why do you have to love only one flower?"
"Yes, Qingshuang beside Madam is good, but your family is in such an embarrassing situation. To be honest, if Qingshuang was my sister, I would stab your whole family with a knife!"
"Stop talking, the general wants us to persuade people, not to hurt their feelings! Deputy General Wang, at this point, you should be more open-minded. You are not young anymore. People like us have no future, so it is better to leave some roots for our family as soon as possible!"
"Yes, you should find a wife as soon as possible, but you must find a strong and fierce one who can control your sister!"
Wang Zhong's ears were buzzing and he couldn't hear clearly what his colleagues were saying!
He was also a hero who was fearless on the battlefield, but when it came to Qingshuang's affairs, he always felt very timid!
I finally mustered up the courage and found out Qingshuang's feelings, so I quickly asked me to propose marriage, but I didn't expect things to turn out like this!
When he walked out of the inn with his head down, he ran into his mother and sister who were looking for him.
"Son, have you seen Qingshuang? How is she? Did she scold you?" Widow Wang felt distressed when she saw her son's dejected face, but she still reminded him:
"It's okay. It's our family that did something wrong. She deserves to scold you. Even if she hits you to vent her anger, it's okay as long as she's fine!"
Widow Wang was really worried about Qingshuang, but she was also afraid that Wang Qiulian would be responsible for a death.
Seeing Wang Zhong lowering his head and saying nothing, she quickly comforted him:
"Don't worry, mother has brought Qiulian here, and our family will go to apologize to Qingshuang. She can be beaten or scolded as she pleases. As long as she gets rid of her anger and forgives us, that's all that's fine!"
"Mother has made up her mind. Mother will work for the Gu family shop for ten years, regardless of the workload, and will not take a penny. I will strictly discipline your sister in the future. If she doesn't change her bad temper, she will not be allowed to go out even a step!"
Wang Qiulian came forward and said, "Brother, I will be obedient in the future. If you insist on marrying her, I...I will not scold her anymore!"
Wang Zhong finally raised his head and smiled a smile that was uglier than crying: "Mom, let's go home."
Widow Wang felt as if a huge hole had been pierced into her heart when she saw her son's expression. She couldn't help but choke up and sob:
"Zhong'er, I came here sincerely to apologize to Qingshuang. Didn't you say that she likes you, too? As long as we are sincere, won't she forgive us for the sake of her feelings for you?"
Wang Zhong's eyes darkened. "Why did mother follow Qiu Lian in talking nonsense? Qingshuang is the general's wife's personal maid. What feelings do she have for me? And what's so ridiculous about liking her?"
Widow Wang came to her senses and quickly covered her mouth. She quickly looked around and was relieved when she saw that no one cared.
"I was confused. I just wanted to help you..."
Wang Zhong walked straight ahead: "Let's go home, everyone, let's go home."
Wang Qiulian looked at the door of the inn, then looked at her brother who was hunched over, and suddenly broke free from Widow Wang's hand and rushed in!
"Qingshuang! Qingshuang!" As soon as she entered the room, Wang Qiulian shouted, "Qingshuang, come out. Everyone has their own share of responsibility. I kowtow to you and admit my fault. Don't take it out on my brother!"
Widow Wang was so frightened that her hair stood on end. She stepped into the room and covered Wang Qiulian’s mouth with her hand:
"Shut up!"
Wang Qiulian struggled and whimpered, with a look of hostility in her eyes.
Fortunately, the inn was cleared and guarded inside and outside by soldiers brought by Ning Weizhou. Even if one or two innkeepers heard the noise and stuck their heads out to watch the fun, they were scared back by the soldiers holding their shining long swords.
Wang Zhong came in again without knowing when. He stared coldly at Widow Wang and Wang Qiulian:
"Mom, is this how you taught her at home all these years?"
