Chapter 193: Causing Trouble
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the door. This stunned the Chu family. It was already so late. Who would that be?!
Chu Rong put on a shirt and walked quickly to the door. He was not in a hurry to open the door. Instead, he asked, “Who’s knocking?”
The servant said forcefully and impatiently, “I’m from the Chu family in the county. My master is sick. Let Chu Qingzhi come with me. Hurry up and open the door. Don’t waste my precious time.”
Only then did Chu Rong open the door. There were a total of two servants. As soon as he opened the door, the two servants immediately looked in.
“Where is she? My master is in a lot of pain!”
“Hurry up and rush her. She’s too slow. That’s Chu Qingzhi’s adoptive father. Although she was sent home, he still raised her for 15 years. She doesn’t seem to care at all!”
“Hurry up and rush her.”
Chu Rong was originally quite worried, but when he heard the two servants’ words, he immediately frowned. “Qingzhi is already asleep. She needs time to put on clothes before coming out, right?”
The servant said impatiently, “A life is at stake. Can’t she dress faster?”
Chu Rong said unhappily, “No matter how fast it is, it will take time. If you can’t wait, leave. My daughter has been busy for the entire day. How can she have the energy to treat someone else in the middle of the night?”
When the servant heard this, he immediately retorted, “Is that someone else? That’s her adoptive father.”
Chu Rong was originally not good with words, but when it came to protecting her daughter, he was quite eloquent. “But my daughter has already come home, and she was chased home by Chu Zhongyuan. It’s understandable if she doesn’t want to go.”
The servant did not expect Chu Rong to say this. “Heh, 1 didn’t expect you to be an ungrateful person. Looks like sending her back was the right choice.”
Chu Rong was furious and said firmly, “Back then, when 1 went to pick Qingzhi up, the Chu family said in front of me that Qingzhi has nothing to do with their family in the future. Why are they looking for us now?”
The servant was not to be outdone. “Do you think I want to look for you? It’s all because Madam asked us to come.”
Chu Rong pushed the two servants out and closed the door with a bang. “Get lost!”
Looking at the closed door, the two servants shouted, but no matter how loud they shouted, Chu Rong refused to open the door. They could only curse and leave.
At this moment, everyone from the Chu family came to the central room with ugly expressions.
Li Qingyu said angrily, “Chu Zhongyuan is despicable. He brought Qingzhi home when he wanted her and threw her away when he didn’t.”
Grandpa Chu said angrily, “Don’t care about him. He can’t blame us for being heartless. Everyone heard what those two servants said just now. It’s not nice at all. That’s not the attitude one should have when asking for help.”
Granny Chu said unhappily, “That’s right. If they talked nicely and had a nice attitude, why wouldn’t we help? They brought this upon themselves.”
Chu Qingyue patted Chu Qingzhi’s hand. “Fifth Sister, they were rude to us first. We are not wrong to say no to them.”
Shen Ruyue also said, “Qingzhi, although they raised you, everyone knows what kind of life you were living.”
Chu Qingzhi’s expression was calm. All of this was her doing. Of course, she wouldn’t go and save Chu Zhongyuan.
Chu Zhongyuan was the one who said that he missed the original Chu Qingzhi, so it was only right for Chu Zhongyuan to send him down to accompany the original Chu Qingzhi.
After Chu Zhongyuan, it would be Wang Peifang’s turn. No one could escape it.
“Grandpa, Grandma, Father, Mother, it’s okay. I’m sick too. 1 can’t save anyone!”
When Chu Qingzhi suddenly said this, everyone was slightly stunned. Then, they smiled meaningfully and had already thought of how to put up a show with Chu Qingzhi.
Grandpa Chu immediately said, “Qingzhi, if you are not feeling well, then hurry back to your room to rest. Staying up late will worsen it.”
Chu Qingzhi said obediently, “Yes, Grandpa.”
Everyone looked at each other and returned to their rooms to continue sleeping.
Of course, Wang Peifang wouldn’t give up. After hearing the servant’s report, she was so furious that she personally came to the Chu Village in a carriage.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
There was a loud knock on the door. The Chu family, who had woken up in a daze, felt that their house was shaking. If not for the knock, everyone would have thought that there was an earthquake.
“Chu Qingzhi, come out quickly!”
“Your father is in so much pain. You still have the mood to sleep? Don’t you have any conscience?”
“Chu Qingzhi, to think that you were conferred the title of a baroness. Are you worthy of such glory?”
Wang Peifang cursed as soon as she arrived, startling the neighbors in the village.
Zhao Xiuhua liked to watch the show. Grandpa Chu’s second brother, Chu Qi, also walked over.
It was still Chu Rong who opened the door. When he saw his neighbors coming over, his attitude was very good, but his voice was suppressed with anger. “Mrs. Chu, please watch your language.”
“Get lost. I’m looking for Chu Qingzhi.” Wang Peifang pushed Chu Rong away rudely and walked straight in. She looked around. “Chu Qingzhi, get out!”
Chu Qingyue walked out of the room and looked at Wang Peifang in annoyance. “My fifth sister is sick and can’t get up. Find someone else!”
Wang Peifang guessed that Chu Qingyue must have just walked out of Chu Qingzhi’s room. Hence, she walked over and pushed Chu Qingyue away. She entered the room and roared, “Chu Qingzhi, you’re actually still sleeping!”
Chu Qingzhi was “seriously ill” and could not get up!
Li Qingyu hurriedly rushed into the room to stop Wang Peifang. “Qingzhi is sick. She can’t even get up. Why are you looking for her?”
Chu Qi naturally couldn’t enter a girl’s boudoir. He stood at the door of the central room to see the situation, but Zhao Xiuhua could go. She quickly chased to the door of the boudoir and looked in.
“Get lost!” Wang Peifang pushed Li Qingyu away fiercely. Li Qingyu was pushed onto the bed. Fortunately, she fell onto the bed. Otherwise, she would have been injured.
Zhao Xiuhua covered her mouth, clearly very shocked. Were the ladies in the county city also so shrewish?
“Get lost!” Wang Peifang then pushed Shen Ruyue away. Then, she went to pull Chu Qingzhi.
However, the moment she touched Chu Qingzhi’s wrist, she seemed to have been scalded and quickly retreated.
Chu Qingzhi’s body was hot and soft. There was a wet handkerchief on her forehead and she looked extremely weak. “Cough, cough, cough…”
Wang Peifang did not expect Chu Qingzhi to really be sick. She thought that Chu Qingzhi was pretending. Now that she saw Chu Qingzhi like this, she felt the world spin. Her heart sank. Chu Zhongyuan was hopeless!
“Chu Qingzhi, get up!” Wang Peifang wanted to grab Chu Qingzhi’s hand again, but this time, she was blocked by Li Qingyu. “Mrs. Chu, are you done?”
Chu Qingzhi was the last hope of saving Chu Zhongyuan. Now that Chu Qingzhi was sick, she naturally could not save Chu Zhongyuan. “Why did you fall sick at this time!”
“I’ve never heard of anyone picking a time to fall sick!” Li Qingyu changed her “weak” style from before. She grabbed Wang Peifang’s wrist and pushed her out of the house. “Hurry up and leave.. Don’t let me see you again!”
