189 Whoever Wants to Take My Wife Away Can Only Die!
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere immediately froze.
Chu Tianbao walked over with a cold expression and stood in front of her. He said coldly, “Get lost!”
Whoever wanted to take his wife away could only die!
His deep black eyes were even colder than Xiaobai’s green ones.
Qu Lianghua met his gaze and couldn’t help but shiver.
This was definitely a man who had killed someone.
His aura was like a Rakshasa who had walked out of hell.
Even so, Qu Lianghua was not sure that he would not dare to act rashly.
He was even a little displeased. It was just an unintentional sentence from a child, but this family was so rude.
Chu Tianbao’s protection over Bai Wutong had never changed. The corners of her lips curled up, but she did not stop him.
Qu Yuanxian was a strict and good official. Even if Qu Lianghua had a conflict with them, he would definitely not take revenge.
Qu Xin’er was frightened by Chu Tianbao. She hugged Qu Yuanxian and choked on her tears. “Father, he told us to get lost! Let’s go tell Grandpa that we have to leave this lousy place immediately!”
How could Chu Tianbao, who loved his wife as much as his life, tolerate letting his wife become a family cook just because she was kind enough to make them spiral potatoes?
Cui Lingyi and Cui Muzhi’s faces darkened. Cui Lingyi said to Qu Lianghua even more bluntly, “It’s getting late. Young Master Cui, you should take your lady back early!”
The sun was still shining. How was it late? Cui Lingyi was clearly helping them chase them out.
Qu Lianghua panicked and realized that his daughter’s behavior just now might have displeased her. After all, she was Bai Wutong’s good friend.
However, Qu Xin’er was still a child. Didn’t they think that this was too much?
Qu Lianghua did not realize at all that even for children, basic respect between people was needed.
If she didn’t respect others, why should everyone respect her?
It was the father’s fault for not teaching his child well.
Qu Lianghua was the one who should be responsible.
Qu Lianghua liked Cui Lingyi and tolerated Chu Tianbao. He said to Bai Yue insincerely, “Madam Bai, Xin’er just wants to praise your superb skills. She had used the inappropriate words. Please don’t mind her.”
Bai Wutong smiled faintly. “I don’t mind, but my husband does. Qingjiu is right. It’s getting late. Young Master Qu, you should go back early.”
Qu Lianghua was very aggrieved. He had never been treated so coldly before. It was inconvenient for him to fall out with the couple in front of Cui Lingyi.
“My daughter is ignorant. I hope Madam Bai and Master Chu won’t take offence. We’ll leave now.”
He had already retreated to this point, but Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao were still so calculative. That was being too unmagnanimous.
When Qu Xin’er saw that her father was so cowardly and even wanted to apologize to them after being scolded, she was so angry that she threw the spiral potatoes on the ground. She struggled to get down and stomped on it before running out.
Qu Lianghua hurriedly chased after her. “Xin’er, don’t run around!”
Bai Wutong brought a broom to clean up the spiral potatoes that Qu Xin’er had crushed. Chu Tianbao warned Xiaobai fiercely, “Xiaobai, if they dare to come in the future, bite them!”
Xiaobai shook off the water around it and let out a long roar, as if it was saying, “Leave it to me.”
On the way back, Cui Muzhi said softly, “Sister, why do I think that Young Master Qu is interested in you?”
If Cui Muzhi could tell, why couldn’t Cui Lingyi?
She glared at Cui Muzhi. “You’re just a child. Don’t be a busybody!”
Cui Muzhi said anxiously, “Why doesn’t it have anything to do with me? You’re my sister! Of course I have to interfere. You can marry anyone, but you can’t choose this Young Master Qu. If you marry him, it’ll be a complete fire pit!”
Seeing how anxious he was, Cui Lingyi smiled. “What’s the hurry? If I wanted to marry, I would have done so long ago.”
She could tell at a glance that some people were not the kind of person she could spend her lives with.
If that was the case, she might as well live carefreely alone. Anyway, she was a widow, so she would not get in anyone’s way if she did not marry.
Seeing that she was not attracted to Qu Lianghua at all, Cui Muzhi heaved a sigh of relief.
It was difficult for a stepmother. Any lady who married over would probably have a headache meeting a stepdaughter like Qu Xin’er.
He believed that his sister could restrain Qu Xin’er, but why would she choose a lousy man instead of other good men? Among the 30 families of Qinghe, there were many men who were interested in his sister.
Qu Xin’er rushed out, tripped over a rock, and fell hard.
Both her knees had cuts.
Qu Lianghua quickly carried her to the doctor.
As he walked, he asked the villagers on the way. He bumped into Qu Yuanxian, who had returned from checking on the people.
When Qu Yuanxian saw Qu Xin’er crying so hard that she was out of breath, he asked worriedly, “What’s wrong?”
Qu Xin’er cried, “It’s all those country bumpkins’ fault!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone behind Qu Yuanxian could not help but frown.
They were also country bumpkins now.
Ultimately, she was his granddaughter and she was crying so sadly. Qu Yuanxian suppressed his anger and followed them to Gu Zhongxun’s pharmacy.
There were many people lined up in Gu Zhongxun’s pharmacy. Qu Lianghua rushed in and shouted, “Doctor, quickly treat my daughter!”
Qu Xin’er’s legs were bleeding. A girl should not leave any scars.
There were many people who were more seriously injured than Qu Xin’er, but she was a child and could be treated first.
Soon, someone came out and gestured for him to carry the child into the inner room.
Gu Zhongxun took a few glances. “It’s just a superficial wound. After applying some ointment and scabbing, it will heal.”
Qu Lianghua said anxiously, “Doctor, is there any medicine to remove scars?”
Gu Zhongxun nodded. “Yes.”
Qu Lianghua said happily, “Then I’ll have to trouble you to prescribe a bottle of scar removal medicine for my daughter.”
The scar removal ointment was more popular.
Gu Zhongxun had already finished what he had concocted last time.
Gu Zhongxun could only prescribe him ready-made herbs. He instructed, “After the herb is crushed, apply it for three days in a row and there won’t be any scars.”
Qu Lianghua nodded and instructed the maidservants to take good care of Qu Xin’er.
When she returned to the Cui family, Qu Xin’er had already fallen asleep in Qu Yuanxian’s arms.
The maidservant suddenly remembered that Madam Qu had prepared a good scar removal ointment for Qu Xin’er. She said hesitantly, “Master, Madam has prepared a scar removal ointment for Miss Xin’er. Do you still want her to use it?”
The scar removal ointment prepared by Madam Qu was definitely better than the herbs prepared by the countryside doctor. It concerned her daughter’s health. Qu Lianghua did not hesitate and said, “There’s no need to apply the herbs. Apply the scar removal ointment prepared by my mother.”
“Yes.”
When Qu Lianghua came out of Qu Xin’er’s room, he saw the angry Qu Yuanxian in the shadows.
Qu Yuanxian walked over. Qu Lianghua did not know why he was so angry. He looked puzzled. “Father?”
Qu Yuanxian glared at him and let him enter the room. The first thing he said was, “Bastard! Take your rebellious daughter back to Pingyang tomorrow! This place can’t accommodate you two great Buddhas!”
Who was Bai Wutong? She was the one who could create cleaning paper, save the Cui family, and protect all 30 people in Qinghe. Even Great Scholar Yang had to respectfully call her Madam!
Qu Xin’er actually wanted her to be a cook at her home and even scolded everyone as lowly people. After he asked someone to find out what happened, he was almost angered to death.
