Chapter 122: Fury

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Han Qiao lost her last bit of patience with Han Xiang.

She didn’t even want to keep the most basic peace.

She had never seen such a shameless person.

It wasn’t that there weren’t any. Zhao Huan was one, and Han Xiang was another.

One of them was greedy and the other was stupid.

“Y-you scolded me!” Han Xiang was in disbelief.

“Scolding you is a light punishment. If you weren’t pregnant, 1 would have slapped you twice today.” Han Qiao’s words and the coldness on her face told Han Xiang that she wasn’t bluffing.

For a moment, Han Xiang felt wronged and angry, and she spoke without thinking.

“So what if you have a few stinking money? You still can’t get pregnant or give birth to a son.”

“What’s the use of more money? 1 wonder who will benefit from it in the future.”

“You may look young now, but that’s why Heng Yi treats you well. When you’re old, he might kick you out and marry a young and beautiful woman.”

Han Qiao was so angry that she held onto the table to stop herself from slapping Han Xiang twice.

“Get lost!” An angry roar came from outside.

Han Xiang trembled in fear.

She turned around and saw Heng Yi staring at her like a ferocious beast.

“Get lost, don’t make me say it again.” Heng Yi shouted.

Han Xiang bit her lips.

She dared to shout at Han Qiao because she thought that Han Qiao wouldn’t do anything to her.

But Heng Yi wouldn’t just let her be.

She didn’t dare to stay for long and stumbled out.

As soon as she crossed the threshold, Heng Yi quickly entered the room and closed the door with a bang.

The lanterns hanging under the eaves gave off a dim light.

Then Han Xiang heard Heng Yi’s voice come from the room. “Ah-Qiao.”

Han Xiang was stunned.

Perhaps Heng Yi loved Han Qiao more than she did, more than anyone could imagine.

Inside the house, Heng Yi called out to her and quickly hugged her.

Then, he thought of how dirty he was and quickly let go of her.

However, Han Qiao hugged him. “You’re back.”

“Are you hungry? 1’11 go boil some hot water for you to wash up.”

Heng Yi held Han Qiao in his arms.

She was his wife.

He thought of Han Xiang’s words and quickly promised, “I won’t despise you. It doesn’t matter whether we have children or not. I won’t remarry, and I won’t take concubines either. I only have you in this life.”

Han Qiao laughed. “I know.”

She had never doubted Heng Yi.

“I’ll go boil some water for you to wash up first and change into clean clothes. I—”

Heng Yi interrupted Han Qiao. “Don’t do anything. Just sit down. I’ll do it.”

This year’s winter was not that cold.

But Heng Yi didn’t care about that.

What he cared about was that there were so many servants in the residence, but Han Qiao was on her own, allowing Han Xiang to speak ill of her.

He carried Han Qiao and made her sit on the bed. “Wait for me.”

He stepped out of the main court and saw Han Xiang still standing at the door. He said coldly, “Get out of Heng Manor immediately. Don’t make me throw you out.”

Han Xiang was both angry and afraid.

She stomped her feet and ran towards the guest courtyard. After running a few steps, she remembered that she was pregnant and stopped to walk quickly.

Heng Yi closed the door.

He closed the courtyard door again.

He went to the courtyard next door. Standing at the door, he could hear Sun Xiu, Sun Yu, and Sun Ke’s laughter.

So happy and carefree.

Lively.

Heng Yi pursed his lips.

When he went to Grandpa and Grandma’s courtyard, Grandpa was humming an opera tune. The servant boy who served him was laughing uncontrollably. Grandma even teased Grandpa for singing well.

Heng Yi went to the backyard.

Outside the courtyard of the Hu family of three, he heard people talking inside, but it was also lively.

The laughter in the servant’s room in the courtyard next to theirs was even louder.

Heng Yi walked in.

A voice came from inside the house. “1 wonder how much this purse can be sold for. Earlier, he could still have some monthly money, but now, he didn’t even have any.”

“Didn’t Butler Hu say that he would mention it to Master and Madam?”

“I think so. Master and Madam didn’t say anything. 1 think they don’t plan to give out a monthly payment.”

“If you don’t want to distribute it, then don’t distribute it. Anyway, it’s the same if we do more embroidery work in exchange for money.”

However, everyone knew that in order to earn more money, they did not have the time to do the things that Master and Madam ordered.

Heng Yi kicked the door down.

It made a violent sound.

The two servant girls and two old women in the room trembled in fear.

One of them even cursed, “You’re courting death!”

Seeing that it was Heng Yi, their breaths were stuck in their throat.

There were two charcoal braziers in the room.

There were also melon seeds, peanuts, hot tea, and mung bean cakes on the low table.

He acted even more like a master than Han Qiao.

“M-m-master.” The four people’s voices trembled.

“You act as if you’re the masters of this house.”

Heng Yi said.

He smashed the table into pieces with one punch.

“Since you’re so concerned about the previous master, get lost.”

The four of them were so frightened that they knelt and begged for mercy. “Master, this servant ate the wrong thing. Master, please have mercy.”

They all knew that Heng Yi didn’t care about anything and was the most easygoing man.

Han Qiao was the same. She basically did everything herself.

They weren’t mean people either.

Over time, these people gradually became lazy. What was more, Han Qiao and Heng Yi came from the countryside and couldn’t even read, so they felt that they were more noble than their masters.

After all, they could read.

Therefore, they slowly became more and more slack.

They didn’t expect Heng Yi to suddenly appear and be so furious.

It would not be easy to find another kind master like him and Han Qiao.

Heng Yi ignored them. When he walked out of the house, he kicked over two braziers.

Sparks splashed, causing them to scream in fear.

“No manners.”

He was in the Feng family today, but the Feng family’s maidservants were not like this.

They were well-behaved and spoke quickly.

They were respectful to their master. They were even respectful towards Bai Cha.

When Heng Yi walked out of the house and stood at the door, the Hu family of three was already there.

“Master.”

“Uncle Hu, if you think that the Heng family temple is too small to accommodate you big Buddhas, 1 can send you to a bigger temple at any time, lest you feel that your future is ruined in Heng Manor.”

Heng Yi walked into the kitchen.

Uncle Hu stood rooted to the ground, his heart turning cold.

He knew very well that from today onwards, he might still be the housekeeper of the Heng family, but he would never be trusted like before and given an important task.

The Heng family could change stewards at any time.

But their family of three depended on the Heng family.

After all, their next owner might not have to return the contract after five years.

He wanted to say something, but Heng Yi had already gone to the kitchen.

Uncle Hu quickly said to his wife, “Go to Madam’s side and see what’s going on in her room.”

He looked at the people in the room.

He snorted coldly and followed the Master to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Aunt Zhao was cooking. She asked Bai Cha, “How was your trip?”

“It went smoothly. Aunt Zhao, what are you doing so late?” Bai Cha asked.

“Soak some tremella and stew some for Madam. She has no appetite these days.” Aunt Zhao leaned closer to Bai Cha and whispered, “Maybe she’s pregnant.”

His eyes were filled with unconcealable joy..
