Chapter 149: Famous Across Ten Villages 4

On top of that, she brewed a pot of ginseng tea and put it on the clay stove.

Pei Fengtang was silent from the beginning till the end.

He was seated there like a doll as the maids tidied things up.

The maids noticed Lord Heir’s gloomy expression and none of them dared to speak. They immediately left the room after they were done.

Pei Fengtang was like a puppet. He sat there for a long time before finally lifting his head. He held the small furnace in his hand and was about to throw it to the ground when, for some reason, Qi Qingyao’s face suddenly appeared in his mind.

It was even accompanied by that irritating tone of hers when she spoke.

He was clearly the Lord Heir, whereas she was just a woman from the village, yet she had dared talk to him as if she were superior.

‘Hold on, what did she say again?

‘It was quite hateful.

“I think it was…’

“You’re dying so quit cursing as if you ate gunpowder. Can’t you just save your strength and this dog’s life of yours?

“Truthfully speaking, I’m too lazy to deal with hot-tempered dandies like you. If it weren’t for them saying that they would pay me if I treated you, no one would have even bothered with a hot-tempered person like you. Just like the guards and servants in your home, if it weren’t for the monthly payments, not a single one of them would even be willing to wait on a sick man like you! You have a poor temper and are so f*cking incapable of looking after yourself. A half-dead person like you is the most troublesome kind. Goddammit, if you’re gonna die, just die already!

“Honestly, I don’t feel like treating you anymore. If you want to die, I can suffocate you with a pillow.”

…

She dared say he had a rotten temper…

Hmph!

His temper was just fine.

He had not even thrown anything recently!!

What a hateful woman, who did she think she was? Just wait till he was healed and could leave the residence, then everyone shall see how he would deal with her!

…

The road from Baishui Town to Linquan Village was simply filled with the beating of drums and banging of cymbals. Occasionally, it would also be accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, piquing the villagers’ curiosity along the way as they scurried out to take a look at the excitement.

“It’s not even New Year’s yet, why are there fireworks?”

“There’s even drums and cymbals.”

“Hey, who is that? They even have banners up.”

“I think it’s the Qi family from Linquan Village. They’re saying something about their daughter being unfilial, that she did not abide by a woman’s morals and had children out of wedlock…”

“Oh ho, shouldn’t she be locked in a pig cage and dunked into the river then?”

“That’s why she broke off all relations with her parents.”

‘Well then, what else is there to say? She’s not being taken care of by her parents anymore.”

“But to have forgotten her parents…after striking it rich. She’s forgetting her roots!”

“That’s definitely a little overboard. To forget your parents after getting money, this person has gone overboard and deserves a good scolding.”

Soon enough, almost everyone knew of the cruel and unscrupulous girl in Linquan Village. She was called Qi Qingyao and she would not support her own biological parents after she made a lot of money. She was an absolute thankless wretch!

Qi Qingzhu rolled her eyes multiple times after having been forced to tag along with members of the Qi family in their ruckus-making. However, Qi Qingzhu knew that her mother was adamant about wanting her younger sister to give her money, and thus knew that whatever she tried now to stop her would be fruitless. It seemed that she could only wait for Qi Qingyao to make an appearance before she could tell her on the spot about her past life. When the time came, whatever her mother did would be futile.

When the beating of the drums and cymbals reached the village, Madam Wu noticed the many people who had tagged along the procession. Seeing the sheer size of the crowd, she felt confident.

Before they arrived at the incomplete house, Madam Wu hollered from a distance.

“Eleventh Daughter, you better get out here!”

The people of the village were shocked into silence by Madam Wu’s action. Even Ma Sanye had come to take a look at the situation.

In this sort of atmosphere, Madam Wu tried to gain the upper hand by yelling toward where Jiang Yeqian was sitting on the carriage.

“I want you to come out and clear things up, Eleventh Daughter!”
