Shen Qiyin listened calmly, then suddenly opened the medicine box and began to search for something inside.

As he turned sideways, he caught a glimpse of a slender figure standing not far away.

It’s Huo Wanqing.

Compared to Shen Qiyin's lack of reaction, Huo Wanqing looked pale, as if she had suffered a huge blow.

"Qing'er..."

Huo Wanqing seemed to come back to her senses when she heard someone calling her.

She woke up as if from a dream, and quickly walked up to Shen Qiyin, saying with a guilty look in her eyes: "Qiyin, I'm sorry, it's because of me that you are being talked about for no reason."

"I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

No matter how Su Mengdie ridiculed and embarrassed her, she would always choose to keep the peace.

Because it only concerns herself, she can swallow any grievance.

But now other people have been involved, which she cannot tolerate no matter what!

Huo Wanqing turned and went into the room.

Huo Chenzhou obviously didn't expect her to come over suddenly, and he was even more unsure how much she had heard about his argument with Su Mengdie just now.

"Wanqing..." He frowned: "Why are you here?"

Huo Wanqing looked at Su Mengdie who was standing beside her: "My sister-in-law asked me to come here, saying that she had something happy to discuss with me."

"Yes, I asked her to come." Su Mengdie glanced at Huo Chenzhou provocatively, and finally set her eyes on Huo Wanqing, and continued: "Miss, you are this age now. I just told your eldest brother that you are also old enough to get married."

"Su Mengdie!" Huo Chenzhou's eyes were almost murderous.

Su Mengdie ignored him completely and continued to talk to Huo Wanqing as usual, "I have already found someone for you, the second son of the Marquis of Jianning Mansion. What do you think?"

"Wanqing!" Huo Chenzhou said sternly, "Song Chen is not a good man, you can't marry him."

"There are many outstanding noble sons in the capital. You can choose carefully. But if there is someone you like..." He paused for a moment before continuing, "Brother will make the decision for you and will marry you off in a grand manner."

"But if you don't have someone you like, you don't have to compromise yourself for the sake of worldly people's opinions. It doesn't matter if you never get married."

Su Mengdie became even more anxious after hearing this: "Huo Chenzhou! You don't even want to pretend anymore, right? You're trying to stop her from getting married anyway. Do you want to marry her so you can divorce me?"

Huo Chenzhou's face was as gloomy as water. Just as he was about to speak, Huo Wanqing spoke before him: "Sister-in-law, be careful with your words."

Her reaction was very calm.

It seemed that she was no longer surprised by Su Mengdie's nonsense.

Pursing her lips, she said calmly, "Since ancient times, marriage has been decided by parents and matchmakers. My parents have promised that I can decide on my own."

"Therefore, I'm sorry that Wanqing can't follow my sister-in-law's arrangement."

Su Mengdie was furious: "You!"

Huo Wanqing lowered her eyes.

She really didn't want to cause discord between the couple because of her own reasons, but that didn't mean that she would gamble her whole life just to let them live a peaceful life.

but--

"It will make my sister-in-law worry too much, and it is my fault for not thinking carefully. I will go out to find a house and move out of the general's mansion in the next few days."

If we can't see each other, perhaps the conflict can be resolved a little.

At this point, Huo Wanqing raised her eyes, she looked at Su Mengdie, and said word by word: "But sister-in-law just now, both her words and her words meant to insult Qi Yin, I hope you can apologize to her."

Shen Qiyin listened and walked silently behind Huo Wanqing.

She has been dealing with the Shen family for a long time and knows very well that Su Mengdie is a traitor like them. It is impossible to expect to reason with such a person and make her admit her mistakes.

It is obvious that Huo Wanqing was a child who was spoiled by General Huo and his wife since childhood. She has a humble, gentle and polite personality. Therefore, it is conceivable that she has no chance of winning against someone as unreasonable as Su Mengdie.

But as the saying goes, every evildoer will receive his due punishment.

Shen Qiyin thought that whenever Su Mengdie spoke out of turn, she would take action.

As she expected, after hearing Huo Wanqing's request, the other party sneered and said, "Apologize? For what?"

"I've already given her enough respect by calling her 'County Lady', but she's still taking advantage of me."

"And you..." She pointed at Huo Wanqing: "You are just a wild child that I picked up, and you really think you are the eldest daughter of the general's mansion? You actually dare to ask me for strength!"

"Even if I don't apologize, what can you do to me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone heard a "pop" sound, and saw Su Mengdie, who had her nose in the air just now, now covering her face that was slapped, her eyes full of disbelief.

Not to mention her, even Shen Qiyin and Huo Chenzhou had surprised expressions on their faces.

Even Shen Qiyin aimed the ring at Su Mengdie, ready to use a hidden weapon.

Seeing this scene, she secretly withdrew her hand.

I almost forgot that Huo Wanqing is a lady from a wealthy family, but this wealthy family is the general's mansion.

People say that "a general's family produces a tiger daughter", and it is indeed true.

At this moment, the maidservant beside Su Mengdie suddenly stepped forward with her teeth bared and claws: "Second Miss is too unruly. She actually dared to hit Madam!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the maid beside Huo Wanqing grabbed her collar and slapped her several times: "You dare to howl at the second young lady, do you know the rules?"

The maid covered her swollen face and retreated behind Su Mengdie with a sad face.

Su Mengdie came back to her senses, frowned and asked, "You dare to hit me?"

Huo Wanqing said confidently: "I didn't dare to hit you at first, but since you didn't apologize, I can only use my own method to seek justice for Qi Yin."

"you!"

She was clearly not like this before!

Huo Wanqing changed her previous "soft persimmon" character and started to confront her directly, and she was helpless against her for a while.

Helplessly, Su Mengdie turned to Huo Chenzhou for help: "Look, she actually fought with me, and you just watched?"

"What if I do not do this? Do I do it too?"

"you……"

"Stop talking, you deserve it."

No matter how she made a fuss, she was only targeting him, so he could finally tolerate it.

But now that other people have been affected for no reason, it is impossible for him to protect her without knowing the reason.

"You've been making a fuss for long enough since we got married. If you still want to continue to live a stable life, then stop jumping around and looking for trouble. Otherwise, just get a divorce."

Huo Wanqing tightened her grip on Shen Qiyin's hand, but soon regained her composure and asked her, "Have you calmed down?"

Shen Qiyin chuckled and nodded.

She wasn't angry at first.

It was just that it was not in line with her vindictive nature to not retaliate when being scolded for no reason.

Even though Huo Wanqing helped her vent her anger, she still secretly gave Su Mengdie an injection, otherwise all her efforts at the door would have been in vain.

Since her mouth smells so bad when she talks, she thinks it would be better to keep silent, just like Shen Cang, who is good at being mute.

Because the couple suddenly started quarreling and acupuncture was not possible for the time being, Shen Qiyin went to sit in Huo Wanqing's yard first.

The two were discussing the matter of buying a house when Huo Xiaoyue suddenly came over and reluctantly held Huo Wanqing's hand, looking like she was about to cry, and said, "Sister Qing, I heard about what happened just now. Are you really going to leave?"

"Ah."

"But Yue'er can't bear to leave you."

Huo Wanqing pulled her hand away without leaving a trace: "I'm just moving out of the general's mansion, not leaving Shangjing. We'll meet again in the future, there's no need to do this."

"Ah..." Huo Xiaoyue sighed and said, "But this is the only solution. Otherwise, if you continue to stay in the mansion, I'm afraid that my brother and sister-in-law will have trouble living in peace."

Hearing this, Shen Qiyin paused while drinking tea, raised his eyelashes slightly, and swept a chilly gaze towards Huo Xiaoyue.
