The man dramatically pushed Qi’er away and returned to Linshi’s side, adopting a thoroughly aggrieved posture. Linshi’s face was now dark as storm clouds. Even his own daughter, Qu Xiaoqiao, the Qu family head, would give him some face, yet this Xu Wan actually dared to slap his face like this.
He darkened his expression, his thin lips parting as he rebuked: “Unfilial thing! With the young master here, how can I allow you to run wild?
Quickly invite the young master to my courtyard and serve him properly!”
“Yes!”
Those men looked extremely pleased, immediately dragging Xu Wanzhi like dogs rewarded with a bone.
Qi’er, who had just been saved by Xu Wanzhi, was shocked. In large families, those masters with skills had countless ways of punishment, and once taken inside, no matter how fierce you were – heaven knows what suffering awaited.
Xu Wanzhi, being grabbed by two strange men, grew cold. She looked directly at Linshi and said, definitively: “I’m not free.”
“Then make yourself free!”
Linshi unexpectedly followed his train of thought, and several strong men tightly gripped his limbs, walking swiftly.
Qi’er was already pale, knowing his master was married far away, and in this Qu residence, he was the only one truly loyal to her. With the family head away for months and no powerful supporters around, today’s outcome… he didn’t dare imagine.
He could only stumble behind, his skirt hem trampled, wanting to beg someone – but where was anyone?
Qu Family Head
Xu Wanzhi was not someone who would easily lose her temper. Even when angry or scolding, she would only lower her tone, never losing her composure. But in this bizarre country she couldn’t accept, she didn’t dare hope for gentlemanly demeanor. Seeing these men fighting like shrews, she wanted to pretend to be blind.
What was even more outrageous was that these men, trailing strange fragrances and wearing makeup, were now grabbing at her with their sharp claws!
