Seeing that Xing Zhenliang was speaking seriously, Xing Zhiying could only take it as he was, and then she heard him say again: "On the other hand, your real Qi Xuegu, even if he is indeed from the Kunlun sect, he is definitely not a gentleman in terms of his behavior.
."
Xing Zhiying's expression calmed down a little, and she mustered up the courage to argue: "You can't completely deny it if you make a mistake. Besides, Village Leader Wen and others who robbed the rich and helped the poor came to celebrate their birthday today. Grandpa, didn't you make friends with them?
Then why are you unwilling to understand Qi Xuegu?"
Xing Zhenliang seemed to be stunned, and secretly listened to Xing Zhiying's words: "Even though Qi Xuegu was wrong in all kinds of ways, he didn't take advantage of others' danger to bully his grandson that night, so... his grandson thinks he is a gentleman.
."
As she spoke, an inexplicable radiance shone on her face, and her expression became very gentle.
After all, Xing Zhenliang is someone who has come before. He frowned and said stiffly: "Okay... it's okay to have your own opinions, but since you are so attached to this 'gentleman' Qi, do you intend to commit yourself to marrying him?"
Xing Zhiying didn't expect him to ask this question, and she said with a slight trembling in panic: "Grandpa, where did you start talking about this? Although my grandson admires Qi Xuegu as a person, the two of us are innocent, and we have never talked about it.
Is it a point to discuss marriage?”
Xing Zhenliang's heart was broken, but he was disturbed by it, so he said sharply: "In this case, you will promise grandpa that you will not meet this 'gentleman' Qi again in the future. Let me know his whereabouts, and I will guarantee that he will be cured."
That’s the problem with poison.”
Naturally, Xing Zhiying did not dare to say that Qi Xuegu was hiding in her boudoir at this time, and she really did not want to see him without seeing him. For a moment, her heart was filled with tears, and her beautiful eyes were filled with tears.
, but I don’t know how to respond.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Xing Zhenliang had no choice but to continue to put pressure on him. At this moment, he heard a crisp voice outside the door saying respectfully: "How are you, sir? In order to celebrate your birthday, Miss made longevity noodles for you with her own hands.
I specially sent my maid to bring it for you to taste."
Xing Zhiying recognized that this was the voice of her personal maid, Xiuxiu, while Xing Zhenliang raised her eyebrows and said in a flash, "I know, you can send it in."
Xiu Xiu responded with a yes, pushed open the ajar door and walked in. She glanced at him for a moment and quickly saluted, "Miss, I'm fine. My maid has brought the longevity noodles as you ordered."
Xing Zhiying nodded absentmindedly, and Xiuxiu seemed to sense that the atmosphere was different, so she placed the bowl she was holding on the table next to Xing Zhenliang, and said with a low eyebrow: "Master, please use it slowly, maid."
Please resign."
Xing Zhenliang looked coldly, but said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute, I have something to ask you."
Xiuxiu stood with her hands down and said slightly awkwardly: "Yes, my servant is here to listen to the master's questions."
Xing Zhenliang snorted and said with a coercive tone: "Miss, has your behavior been unusual recently? Please tell me the truth."
Xiu Xiu was panicking, but she didn't dare to peek at Xing Zhiying, so she could only say tremblingly: "My maid... My maid doesn't know, sir, what is the abnormality you are talking about?"
Xing Zhenliang's eyes narrowed and he stared at her closely and said, "Miss, your personal attendant, don't you know what is abnormal?"
Xiu Xiu trembled, paused and said in a seductive voice: "Yes... I am confused. Miss likes to go out and relax these days, and sometimes she stays in an inn outside. Like... Like yesterday, Miss went to Luo's house
When I was gathering, I happened to meet Miss Yu, so I rested with her in the inn for a night."
Xing Zhenliang looked cold and said calmly: "Since you know that the young lady's behavior is abnormal, why don't you come and report it to me?"
Xiu Xiu's body trembled slightly, and she said timidly: "Master, you... did not prohibit the young lady from going out, so the maid thought that this matter was normal, so she did not dare to say anything..."
Xing Zhenliang's eyes flashed with cold light, and Huo Di interrupted: "How presumptuous! Are you putting the responsibility on me? What do you think? What is your identity? Don't think that because Ying Yatou loves you, you really treat yourself as your master.
!”
Xiuxiu turned pale with fright, her knees softened and she knelt down on the ground. She said with tears in her eyes: "It is my maid who deserves to die. From now on, my maid must remember her identity and never dare to make any decisions on her own. No matter how big or small the situation is, she will follow up in time."
Report to the master."
Xing Zhenliang sneered, then pressed on and said, "Okay! Let me ask you again, has the lady been very close to a young man named Qi recently?"
Xiu Xiu had already become a frightened bird, and she couldn't help but change her color in shock when she heard this. Xing Zhenliang said even more sternly: "It seems that you are also involved in this matter, right? Humph! I will correct you, a frivolous and evil maid! You usually don't know how to say anything.
That’s all, young master, but when something happens, he not only conceals it but even tries to instigate it from the outside, so how can I tolerate you?!”
After hearing his scolding, Xiu Xiu was almost heartbroken. She sobbed and said between tears: "Please master... be clear about it, maid... there is absolutely no... instigation from the side. As for that...
...Qi Xuegu, he...he is not a bad person."
Xing Zhenliang became even more disgusted when he saw this, and simply snorted coldly: "That's enough. Since you have served Ying Yatou all these years with great care, I don't want your wedding money anymore. I will go to Butler Feng tomorrow to get fifty
Two lines of silver, and then leave the sword master's hall. From now on, life and death will be rich and noble, and everyone will settle down with their destiny."
Hearing this, Xiu Xiu felt as if she had been struck by thunder. She kowtowed hurriedly and cried loudly: "Master, please be merciful! I really deserve death for not serving the young lady well. I have been destined to run the sword hall for a long time."
Well, if I really can’t tolerate my maid, then I might as well give my maid death!”
Xing Zhenliang was unmoved and still said coldly: "If I had known today, why would I have sought death and life in the first place? If I see you lingering in the house again tomorrow afternoon, someone will drive you out with sticks. Then you will
If you really don't want your life, just put your forehead under the stick."
Xiu Xiu cried so hard that the pear blossoms were wet with rain. When she was at a loss, she heard Xing Zhiying also choked up and said: "Grandpa, you don't have to take it out on Xiu Xiu. Everything was my idea and it has nothing to do with her. Please promise me not to embarrass you again."
She, I...I also promise you that I will never see Qi Xuegu again."
What Xing Zhenliang wanted was her words. He pondered for a moment and then coughed: "Well, since it is Ying girl begging for mercy, I will spare you this frivolous and evil maid once. But you have to remember this lesson for me, if there is any
If you offend again, you will not be punished lightly."
Xiuxiu felt like she was being pardoned, and kowtowed again and again: "Thank you, sir, thank you, miss. I will definitely change my past mistakes and never do it again."
As soon as Xing Zhiying said these words, she felt so empty and uncomfortable in her heart. At this moment, she finally couldn't help but burst into tears, hid her face and ran out the door while sobbing.
Xing Zhenliang could naturally understand her mood at the moment, but he had no other choice but to secretly say helpless. His eyes fell on the tureen filled with longevity noodles, and his originally tense face finally showed a bit of relief.
