The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

The group walked and talked, and arrived at a mansion a quarter of an hour later.

The Qu Mansion is located beside a clear river. Compared with the residences of ordinary wealthy businessmen, its area is not large and its renovation is not very luxurious. It looks just a little better than that of ordinary people's houses.

There are four locust trees at the entrance, as well as mounting and dismounting stones, and horse posts. Opposite is an eight-shaped screen wall made of polished bricks with joints.

There are solemn stone lions on both sides of the gate, and above the vermilion gate are two large characters "Qu Fu" written in gold.

"We're here, let's go in." Qu Xiaoyou called out and led a few people towards the gate of the mansion.

"The young lady is back!" The servant standing guard at the door was surprised at first when he saw them, and then he greeted them warmly.

Qu Xiaoyou hummed softly, and as she walked, she instructed them: "I'll bring a few friends back with me, tie up the horses and feed them some fodder."

"Yes, yes." The servants agreed readily and bowed their heads to take the horses from Lu Xiuyuan and others.

After entering Qu Mansion, the scene inside was unremarkable. There were no pavilions, towers, gardens, pools, or terraces, nor were there any gardens, rockeries, carved beams, or paintings.

There is only a cobblestone path with unknown flowers and plants planted on the side of the path. Several green-tiled houses are neatly arranged, simple and quaint.

Although this house is not shabby, it is definitely not luxurious either. At least it is completely inconsistent with the status of a person like the leader of the martial arts world and the richest man in the city.

Xia Younan looked at the scene in the mansion and sighed in his heart: It seems that just as Xiaoyou said, the leader of the martial arts world is a great kind man.

He could have been rich and lived a life of luxury, but he used the money he earned to help people in need. This is too high a level of awareness.

When she returned to Beijing, she donated most of the profits from her snack street.

A group of people came to the hall and saw from afar a middle-aged man sitting at the table reading a book.

He was dressed in a brown robe, about forty years old, tall and strong, with a square face, thick black eyebrows, and two bright eyes with a gleam that should not be underestimated.

"Dad!" Qu Xiaoyou called out and stepped into the hall.

Qu Zhengyan looked at her upon hearing the voice, and was startled at first. Then he put down the book in his hand, stood up, and walked towards her, smiling and scolding: "Girl, you still remember to come back?"

Qu Xiaoyou rarely smiled, like a child who had not grown up, and walked up to Qu Zhengyan, hugged his arm and said coquettishly: "My daughter misses you, doesn't she?"

"Really? You were so determined when you left, and you didn't even say you would miss your dad!" Qu Zhengyan pretended to be displeased with a cold face.

"Oh, Dad, that's not because..." Qu Xiaoyou wanted to say something, but she didn't say it. She changed the subject and said, "Okay, Dad, let's not talk about this. My daughter has made a few friends in Beijing. Introduce them to me."

"Why is he here?" Without waiting for Qu Xiaoyou to speak, Qu Zhengyan suddenly looked at Chan Mu and asked in a bad tone, "Didn't he want to marry you? He came here now, has he changed his mind?"

Qu Xiaoyou sighed gloomily and explained, "No, he came here with his sister."

Zenmu felt extremely guilty, clasped his hands together and bowed to Qu Zhengyan, saying apologetically: "I am truly sorry, I was tricked by a villain at the beginning, I really didn't know your daughter was participating in a martial arts competition to find a husband, I was confused and bumped into Miss Qu, I really deserve to die."

Qu Zhengyan snorted coldly, his expression still unhappy.

"Okay, Dad, let's stop talking about this. Let me introduce my friends to you." Qu Xiaoyou said as she introduced Lu Xiuyuan and others to Qu Zhengyan one by one.

"This is Prince Yu Nan, this is the princess, this is my junior brother, and these two are the head of the family Zhu Li and the head of the family Xiong Fei."

"Greetings, Alliance Leader Qu. We are honored." Several people nodded towards Qu Zhengyan as she introduced them.

"Your Majesty?" Qu Zhengyan was shocked when he heard that and hurriedly knelt down to pay his respects. "Qu greets Your Majesty."

"Don't be so polite, Lord." Lu Xiuyuan helped him up and said, "I am here incognito for a private visit this time, so there is no need to follow the rules of the capital."

Qu Zhengyan stood up straight and looked at their surprised faces. What did this girl do? How did she get to know such a group of powerful people? And brought them back.

"Your Highness, please take your seats." After being surprised, he hurriedly asked everyone to sit down and ordered the servants to make some fragrant tea.

Everyone sat down. Due to the tight time schedule and heavy workload, Lu Xiuyuan didn't say anything more and went straight to the point to explain his purpose to Qu Zhengyan.

"I heard that there are guests at home?" Before he could open his mouth, a charming female voice stopped him from saying the next word.

Following the sound, I saw two women walking towards this side not far away.

One of the two women was about thirty years old, with willow-shaped eyebrows, phoenix eyes, red lips, and fair and delicate skin. She was as beautiful as a flower and still had charm.

She was wearing a lotus-colored silk dress, and as she walked she swayed her waist and hips, exuding an indescribable charm.

The other woman was younger, about sixteen or seventeen years old, in her prime. She wore a long purple hibiscus dress with a train, had a square face, fair skin, big round eyes, and slightly thick lips that looked like they were stained with blood because of lip balm.

She looks very similar to Qu Zhengyan, and one can tell their relationship at a glance.

"This is..." Xia Younan had several question marks on his head and looked at Qu Xiaoyou in confusion.

Who is this person? Why haven't I heard Xiaoyou mention him? Judging from his attire, he is obviously not a servant.

Seeing the people coming, Qu Xiaoyou just glanced at them indifferently, with a calm expression, neither sad nor happy, as if she was not very friendly to them.

"Master, I heard that our eldest daughter is back and brought a few distinguished guests with her. My daughter and I came to take a look."

The older beautiful woman twisted her waist and came to Qu Zhengyan, looking at Lu Xiuyuan and others curiously with her charming eyes.

"Yes, yes." Qu Zhengyan responded, holding the woman's hand and introducing her to everyone, "Everyone, this is my wife, her name is Ren Qiaoqian."

Madam? Xia Younan opened his eyes wide in surprise. Could the person in front of him be Xiaoyou's mother?

This doesn't seem like it. How could such a charming and sexy woman give birth to a daughter as noble and proud as Xiaoyou?

"Is this... Xiaoyou's mother?" Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Qu Xiaoyou frowned tightly and her face became a little gloomy, as if she really didn't like what she said.

Qu Zhengyan laughed and said, "No, Xiaoyou had a miserable life. Her mother died in a fire when she was five years old. In order to ensure that she would not be deprived of maternal love in her childhood, I remarried. Qiaoqian is my subsequent wife."

"So that's how it is." Xia Younan suddenly realized, and looked at Qu Xiaoyou with a little more sympathy.

Xiaoyou has an aloof personality and I've never heard her talk about her family situation. It turns out that beneath her glamorous identity there is such a tragic side.
