Don't be afraid, handsome man, I will save your whole family with my melon-eating system

Eunuch An didn't expect her to be so fast, and the hand that was pinching his neck was so strong that he couldn't breathe.

When Concubine Qiong saw Eunuch An's face clearly, she withdrew her hand, turned around and went into the house without even looking at him.

Eunuch An gasped for breath and patted his chest in horror.

He actually didn't know that Meng Qiongzhi's skills were so good.

After all, they have known each other for more than 20 years. He didn't know she was so secretive.

Just now, if she had used a little more force, he would have lost his life.

He knew that Meng Qiongzhi had some martial arts skills, but he didn't expect that she was better than him.

"I didn't know that Concubine Qiong is such an extraordinary warrior!" Eunuch An followed her into the room, speaking tentatively.

"You know now." Concubine Qiong said expressionlessly without even glancing at him.

He carefully turned over the half-finished painting so that he couldn't see the person in it.

Eunuch An glanced at the painting, but only saw a shadow and didn't see it clearly.

"Then I have to thank Queen Concubine Qiong for showing mercy." Eunuch An said with a smile.

"If there is a next time, you won't be so lucky." Concubine Qiong said coldly.

Eunuch An was so angry at her that he gritted his teeth in hatred.

"Why, what does your master have to tell you? Go ahead and listen." Concubine Qiong sat down on the chair and glanced at him coldly.

He took the teacup on the table beside him and drank it leisurely, as if he didn't take Eunuch An seriously at all.

"The queen asked me to tell you something." Eunuch An moistened his throat and said in a deep voice, "Meng Qiongzhi, the queen's patience is limited! If you don't want to get what you want, then just keep on procrastinating!"

"Are you done?" Concubine Qiong didn't even glance at him.

"Meng Qiongzhi, the Queen wants you to do..."

"Why, is she at her wits' end?" Concubine Qiong interrupted Eunuch An and snorted disdainfully, "I was wondering how capable she was! Turns out she's just this good!"

"She can't even handle a concubine of Yue, let alone the Queen Mother! An Dehai, following such a master, have you ever regretted your original choice?"

"Meng Qiongzhi! How dare you!" Eunuch An scolded her, "How can a humble concubine like you question the Empress?"

"Empress?" Concubine Qiong looked at him with a half-smile, "Others may not know, but don't you, An Dehai, know?"

"you……"

"Go back and tell her that asking for help should be done with the right attitude!" Concubine Qiong interrupted him with a look of disdain on her face, "Go back and ask her if she has forgotten how she asked me for help 23 years ago."

"If she has forgotten, I can help her recall. Don't think you can threaten me just because you know my little secret!"

"If I want, I can wake up tomorrow morning and her head might not be on her neck anymore!"

"Back then, I was able to help her replace the original with the fake one. Now, I can also present her face to the public!"

"You...you..." Eunuch An looked at her in horror. He was so angry and panicked that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

"You can go now!" Concubine Qiong said coldly.

In the end, Eunuch An naturally left in defeat.

In Luofu Palace, Concubine Qiong was the only one left again.

She was not angry because of the sudden arrival of Eunuch An. Instead, she felt more relaxed and comfortable.

She put down the tea in her hand, stood up and walked back to the table, and turned the half-finished painting over on the table.

Surprisingly, the person in the painting is... Dingyuan Marquis Mu Changlin.

But she only painted the face.

Concubine Qiong looked at Mu Changlin in the painting with a complicated look in her eyes.

It started with a gentle gaze, then slowly turned into a cruel gaze, and finally into a murderous one.

Suddenly, she crumpled up the painting.

"Mu Changlin, I'll let you live a little longer!"

……

Eunuch An returned to the Pepper Palace and told the Queen exactly what Concubine Qiong had said.

After hearing this, the queen's whole face twitched and her eyes were gloomy and cold.

He slammed his palm heavily on the table, "Meng Qiongzhi, how dare you threaten me!"

"Madam, what should we do now?" Eunuch An was at his wit's end. "Meng Qiongzhi's skills are better than mine."

The queen took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. "I didn't expect her to be so skilled. I underestimated her."

For a moment, the Queen couldn't think of how to deal with Concubine Qiong.

Originally, I wanted to let Concubine Qiong force Helian Chen, but I didn't expect that she would do this to her.

What did she mean? Didn't she want to get Mu Changlin? Didn't she want to kill Xi?

Why... you're not in a hurry now?

"As you said, let's put everything aside for now and slow down." The Queen said helplessly, "Take one step at a time, and things will work out when the time comes. But it's a bargain for Helian Chen!"

"Yes!" Eunuch An responded.

……

Xu Zhimiao has been quite free recently, after all, the Marquis' Mansion is now peaceful.

The second wife has become much more restrained now and dares not to meddle in other people's affairs anymore.

Furthermore, since Han and Mu Zhi, mother and daughter, were not at home, there was only Xu Panyue in the West Courtyard, so there was really nothing to cause trouble.

Of course, another reason is that the first wife is pregnant. After all, Mu Nian'an was married to the prince by the emperor.

At this time, Mu Erjin and Mu Yiwen, father and son, knew very well that it was not advisable to meddle in other people's affairs.

Naturally, it would be impossible for Xu Panyue to cause trouble in front of Xu Zhimiao.

Xu Zhimiao was favored by the empress dowager now. If Xu Panyue angered her, she would just have someone beat Xu Panyue to death.

Xu Panyue is now aware of her own situation, so naturally she doesn't dare to appear in front of Xu Zhimiao.

Therefore, Xu Zhimiao now feels really empty and feels like he is about to mold.

Although she is the manager of the Marquis' Mansion now, she actually doesn't have much to worry about.

After all, every servant in the eldest house was loyal and devoted. They performed their duties and kept the affairs of the entire mansion in order.

The only thing she had to do was to listen to the reports from the various position supervisors, and then... everything would be fine.

To sum it up, she, as the head of the Marquis' Mansion, must be informed of what happened.

Oh, there is one more thing now, that is, the Marquis’ Mansion has already started to slowly prepare Mu Nian’an’s dowry.

Although the imperial edict did not specify when the wedding would be held, it was always a good idea to start preparing early.

Mu Nian'an was also ordered by the old lady and Xi to sew a wedding quilt for herself.

The old lady meant that she should at least have one quilt, the one she would use on her wedding night, which she had to sew herself.

"Sister-in-law, did you also sew the quilt you and eldest brother used on your wedding night?" Mu Nian'an looked at his finger that was pricked by the needle again, and asked Xu Zhimiao with a resentful face.

Xu Zhimiao thought about it seriously and shook his head, "No!"

Of course it wasn't her! The original owner sewed it herself, and she is not the original owner.

Hearing this, Mu Nian'an threw away the needle in his hand and said, "Then I won't sew anymore!"
