Chapter 9: Heavy Hand

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Miss Tang Qi, are you really not going to embroider for me? As long as the request is not excessive, I can accommodate it. The young master struggled desperately.

"Because that's my sister!" Tang Wuwei interjected with great bravado, a smug expression on his face. "Not long ago, we even had a fight. How could my sister possibly embroider something for you?!"

The onlookers were collectively struck by lightning

It is not so easy to see handkerchiefs belonging to women, and the longevity screen presented to the royal concubine is even more beyond the reach of these unrelated little brats. Thus, having only heard rumors without seeing the actual item, a group of overly curious little ones naturally finds it hard to contain their excitement

"Qingye, do you have anything to say?" Hua seemed unaware that Tang Qi was a fool, asking earnestly.

Of course, it is the same this time; nothing prompts a visit to the Three Treasures Hall without reason

"Then just a regular doctor, anyway, they will definitely cure your mother!" Zhu Qiyu, realizing his mistake, hurriedly guaranteed, "Then my embroidered screen..."

Everyone looked at Tang Qi, who calmly nodded and said: "It's up to you, I don't trust his mother"

I do not care whether you are truly foolish or pretending to be so, why do you not give me the embroidered galloping horse picture

The boys gazed at her with eyes full of deadly intent

They initially intended to endure in silence, but when the Hua family came to visit Miss Qi and found her absent, they had no choice but to reveal the matter under questioning. Mrs. Hua expressed that even the young lady should not act recklessly, using her brute strength to strike others; how could the courtyard remain peaceful under such circumstances

At this point, before the young lord and the youth on the expedition could mock him, Cen San sarcastically remarked: "You didn't just find out about this Concubine Li today, so why are you only now realizing that you should take good care of her?"

Cough, Qiyu, one should not speak carelessly; I am not a member of the royal family either. The young boy expressed his dissatisfaction

No

That expression was one of complete helplessness

"Please take your time to explain, we will certainly handle this fairly. No one will be wronged." Hua spoke with a serious and righteous expression.

"You are only twelve, and she is only eight," the young boy beside Zhu Qiyu reminded with a suppressed laugh.

The little boy's face turned green: "My name is Zhu Qiyu! I am the heir of the Wing King Mansion https://m.hetushu.com! Now you know, right? Silly girl!"

A single sentence darkened Tang Wutieqing's expression.

If I don't stare at you, then I will stare at my father... Tang Wu's heart twitched, but he nodded and said: "That should be the case."

Tang Wukui is going crazy: "Zhu Qiyu, you, you, you, you, you, you..."

So soon? Oh, alright, I will send someone to collect it in ten days! I will call the doctor tomorrow!

... ... ''

I have so many younger brothers, even if they are distant relatives from a concubine, they are still of royal blood, and they are certainly better than your crooked and inferior ones

Tang Wu walked through the streets and alleys, turning left and right with Tang Qi. Cen San asked from the side, "Cousin Qi, can you really embroider a screen that looks exactly the same?"

The young masters, who are burdened by numerous constraints while dreaming of heroism, collectively begin to fantasize: "This idea is indeed quite good..."

It is as if a brutal silent film.

Tang Qi shook her head: "What are you saying?"

Then the two maids began to sob and speak

Tang Qi also expressed doubts, asking what the use was, wondering if they were expected to create one on the spot

He did not say how it was different, but the young expedition remained silent, his expression somewhat despondent

Tang Qi ate the snacks one by one, and after a long while, said: "I am full"

The young people have not yet realized that they have deviated from the right path

Thus, the performance became even more splendid and captivating

Tang Wu leaned over to his younger sister with a flattering smile: "Good Seventh Sister, obedient Seventh Sister, please embroider one for me as well."

Who are you? Why should I embroider for you

At this moment, Cen San looked at Tang Wu in surprise, not expecting that this childhood friend, who had followed him to steal bird eggs and skip school, was actually quite perceptive and insightful.

Tang Qi had not yet reacted when the young man behind her, Yuan Zheng, reminded her: "Qiyu, if you find a physician for a concubine, how will Miss Tang Qi live in the future"

The alien, devoid of desires and demands, remains silent and uncommunicative

Tang Wu saw Cen San entangled with his younger sister and felt displeased. He pulled Tang Qi over and said: "Cen San, boys and girls should not sit together after the age of seven, please be mindful."

This is not up to you to decide, Zhu Qiyu said

Tang Qi turned back to Hua Shi and asked, "Who did you say I was being harsh with? I hardly used any force just now"

Tang, Tang, Tang Qing... The Hua family is merely an ordinary woman. Meanwhile, the unfortunate maid at the door has blood flowing all over the ground, her face is unrecognizable. The little maid beside her is so frightened that her legs are weak, and she can hardly speak clearly

Tang Qi nodded: "So foolish"

Ah? Angry again, why!

Zhu Qiyu was aware of the situation regarding Tang Qi's mother, who had fallen ill after giving birth and had not received proper care. Her family was also indifferent, leaving her in a state of half-life. If treatment were to be considered, it would indeed be a minor matter. He immediately understood and nodded, saying: "No problem! I will seek the imperial physician to treat your mother."

Three children entered a refined house, where two other children were seated inside. One of them looked familiar; he was indeed the little boy who had been sitting on the right side and leading the fight during the last theater performance.

After the maid finished speaking, Tang Qi remained silent. Tang Wu felt anxious secretly; he knew there was a problem, which was that Tang Qi had climbed over the wall to escape, but why did she not mention it? He certainly could not say anything himself, as that would be impolite. However, thinking about the consequences of Tang Qi not refuting it, he began to worry for no reason.

Oh..." Tang Qi turned around and walked over to the two maids, asking the one with the swollen face, "Did I hit you?"

Zhu Qiyu began to pressure Tang Qi: "What must I do for you to agree to the embroidery?"

The maid glanced at the Hua family and then hesitated before standing up. Tang Qi turned around and said to the swollen-faced maid: "Hey, look at me."

Miss Seven, I am merely a servant; how could you resort to violence... If you strike me so severely, how will I face others in the future!" the maid cried.

"Heavy-handed..." Tang Qi pondered, turning to another person, "Are you sure I was heavy-handed with her?"

The small one was right beside at that time. Another maid nodded

No wonder you want to embroider

Tang Wu moved his lips, his face turning red: "Anyway, it's none of your business!"

"Oh and *picture* book, then you stand up," Tang Qi took a few steps back and said slowly

"Is it really necessary to propose?" Zhu Qiyu murmured to herself, her brow furrowed in distress

Ten days

Hmph, anyway, she won't embroider for you

Wait! Tang Wu jumped out, looking displeased. "Our family is not short of money. To treat Aunt Li's illness, do we still need you, the Prince of Yi's residence, to provide both manpower and funds? Where will we put our face?"

Who are you calling a crooked melon or a cracked jujube! Cen San is displeased

The several concubines beside her nodded in agreement, and the young ladies who arrived in response were also filled with righteous indignation. Tang Wu only knew that Tang Qi later climbed over the wall, but he was unaware of what had happened at the door at that time. Moreover, he had personally witnessed Tang Qi's martial prowess and thought that a fool could do anything, so he felt somewhat hesitant and said nothing, merely watching.

In any case, everyone in the audience was left stunned

What can be done? After all, a wife is never too many. Such a wonderful treasure exists only once in the world. If I had such a large painting of a galloping horse in my room, waking up in the morning would feel as if I were on the grasslands. Zhu Qiyu was lost in his own imaginative reverie.

Thus, Tang Qi met with Tang Wu again in the main room of Madam Hua. Tang Wu stood to one side, while two maidservants knelt below; one of them was the one assigned to guard Tang Qi. One of the maidservants had a swollen left cheek, and both were sobbing uncontrollably. Upon seeing Tang Qi enter, their expressions turned resentful, and when they turned to Madam Hua, they cried out, "Madam, you must help us!"

Tang Qi's unauthorized departure is quite a sensational topic. What could be more detestable than a foolish and unruly illegitimate daughter? Surely, once this matter spreads, Tang Qi and her mother will have no choice but to leave even if they do not want to

The overwhelming power was unleashed, and everyone was struck by lightning once again

I will pay. "Cen San said.

I will take care of your marriage!" shouted the young master.

... ...

Qiyu closed his mouth and after a moment finally said: "Your expedition is different."

Tang Wu ... ... "Qi Yu, the young boy, rarely spoke in a gloomy tone, saying, 'You dare to say anything.'"

Tang Wu would not think of his foolish younger sister, Lao Qi, without reason

After being in a daze for a long time, he immediately turned around and looked at his silent younger sister: "Seventh Sister, this, this is truly ... ... "

This muddled mother and daughter are nothing but trouble in the backyard. If not dealt with, they could cause problems any day. It would be better to create some issues to send them back to the side courtyard to fend for themselves. In the future, find a fool to marry off Tang Qi, not only to gain a reputation for generosity but also to resolve the trouble.

The transaction concluded, and a visibly displeased Tang Wu bid farewell to Cen San, returning home with Tang Qi. Just after parting ways with Tang Wu, they were intercepted by someone. A maid, with a rather poor expression, said: "Miss Qi, the Madam requests your presence"

The swollen-faced maid began to tremble like a sieve.

"Don't come here! Tang Qi is just your sister, why should she be dutiful to you like a model child?"

The maid observed Miss Seven in silence, thinking to herself that the lady's personal maid was indeed correct. Confronting Miss Seven was essentially a process of weaving stories. As long as they could tarnish Miss Seven's reputation, branding her as a ruthless villain and sending her back to that remote courtyard, even if she were to awaken one day, she would be left with no recourse.

Cen San shook his head

Hua was feeling quite pleased with herself; she had intended to use Tang Qi's embroidery to carefully plan for the master's future. However, to her surprise, Tang Qi was not only foolish but also obstinate, refusing to listen to anyone and giving her a cold shoulder. Li was even more despicable, daring to ask the small kitchen for good items by leveraging her daughter's influence, without considering the poor hand she was holding!

Tang Qi nodded and looked towards the young lord

Having said that, he raised his hand and struck the maid who was getting up with a slap, the movement so swift that no one had time to react. They only felt a flash before their eyes; Tang Qi's hand seemed to have not moved at all, resting steadily against his leg, while the maid was sent flying with a "Biu," her head colliding with the open door frame. Half of her body hung outside due to inertia, and she instantly lost consciousness without making a sound from beginning to end

Tang Wu looked at Cen San and, feeling displeased, said: "What’s wrong? Do you really think I’m brainless and stubborn?"

Tang Wu immediately threw his sister aside and walked to the side with Cen San. He lifted the cloth covering the *illustration* and took a look; within the longevity screen, the longevity pine appeared lifelike, with high mountains and flowing water.

The moment the little boy saw Tang Qi, he felt a bit conflicted. After a while, he walked over, only to be stopped by Tang Wu: "Hey! My sister is here, what about yours?"

I told you, but you still don't believe me!" The little boy turned to Tang Qi and asked, "Are you really foolish or just pretending to be?"

"Hmm..." Tang Qi tilted her head and thought for a moment, then asked Tang Wu, "If my mother gets better, will she stop watching me all the time?"

Miss Qi was about to go out. In order to ensure her safety and reputation, they tried to stop her and said a few words. To their surprise, she did not say a word in response and slapped one of them, instantly swelling her face. The other had no choice but to kneel and beg for mercy. With no other options, the two had to let the young lady go out.

Tang Qi innocently asked: "Sleeping here?"

Only after the unfortunate maid's situation had settled did Tang Qi turn to the maid, whose face was swollen, and say: "I originally intended to use you as proof, but I estimate that if it were you, no matter how careful I was, you wouldn't survive the landing..."

Pfft... those watching the excitement nearby all burst out laughing

Tang Qi understood after listening for a while

The little boy snorted and said, "Well then, you can lift it yourself and take a look!"

"Then there is nothing more to say?" Hua narrowed her eyes

Hmph, as a royal relative, how could one find a simple person to live with? If my sister were to go to your place, she would be devoured within a day, leaving nothing behind. A marriage proposal... you think you are worthy!" Tang Wu, infuriated, spoke without thinking, yet his reasoning was not without merit, leaving others in silence.

Hello, now you know who I am. Can you give me the embroidered galloping horse picture

I have treasures from the West, " said the person behind the young master.

As long as it is not your doing, I will immediately dismiss these two maids

Um... Tang Qi pondered for a moment, "You mean I need to prove myself, right?"

Tang Qi silently turned her head away, ignoring the situation

"If you grow up a bit, I wouldn't really mind talking to you," Tang Wu retorted

"Ahem, you are only twelve years old..." The young boy was about to remind again

Alright, alright. ╮ ( ╯▽╰ ) ╭, Cen San grinned cheekily
