“Qiu Honglei?”
Qin Wanru’s expression instantly became awful. She had never seen any girl be this proactive towards someone else’s son-in-law before!
Chu Chuyan didn’t seem very happy either. What wife would be happy to hear that a prostitute came looking for their husband late at night?
“Who is Qiu Honglei here for?” Chu Zhongtian was still confused.
“The young master!” Cheng Shouping blinked his eyes. He recalled that this master had also complimented Qiu Honglei on her appearance a few years ago. Is the Master jealous?
But the Master really is better than the young master in almost every way! The only part where he is too far behind the young master is in picking up girls.
Chu Zhongtian didn’t have a concubine all these years, and Cheng Shouping himself was sent to work in the woodshed because of this matter.
Now check out the young master! There are already all types of legends about him not long after he entered the estate!
Master, oh Master, you really need to learn this skill from him!
Under everyone’s strange looks, Zu An said in embarrassment, “Maybe the other party has something proper to discuss with me… I’ll be right back.”
“Proper matters? What kind of proper matters would make a brothel courtesan run all the way here in the middle of the night for?” Qin Wanru harrumphed. “You know what, this is a great chance. I’m going to see for myself just what is going on!”
Chu Zhongtian nodded. “I should take a look as well.”
Qin Wanru shot her husband a look. Was this guy interested in knowing what was going on or interested in Qiu Honglei herself?
But it wasn’t good for her to act out under so many pairs of eyes.
She could only shoot Zu An a hateful look. This entire mess was because of this brat!
You have successfully trolled Qin Wanru for +333 Rage!
Zu An was already numb to this when he saw the Rage points. He decided to just let Qin Wanru throw her tantrum, it’s not like she’ll actually do anything.
Their group rushed to the entrance. Chu Chuyan never said anything from start until now, but her action of silently following already spoke about everything.
When they arrived at the entrance, they discovered that quite a few people had gathered. All of them came out from within the Chu clan to join in on the liveliness.
After all, Qiu Honglei’s reputation was something everyone in Brightmoon City knew about, from those in their eighties all the way down to little kids. There was no way they wouldn’t know about her as long as they were male.
Even though the Chu clan’s discipline was strict, all of them still couldn’t resist their curiosity. They rushed over to get a look at this world-shocking beauty.
After all, with their status and income, they really didn’t have any chance of seeing Immortal Abode’s courtesan queen.
“With that type of figure and look, tsk~”
“If I could land myself a wife like this… no, even if I could have her for a day, even dying would be worth it!”
“She really is too gorgeous! I don’t think she’s much inferior to the first miss?”
“Do you want to die? You actually dare to use the first miss as a comparison?! … but I guess the first miss is a bit cold. Lady Qiu’s smile does tug a bit more at the heartstrings…”
“I heard she was looking for the young master. How could this be possible?”
“Bro, you’re so behind on the news. The young master has some mad skills in this field.”
Of course, not everyone was this excited. Chu Hongcai didn’t believe his ears when he heard of Qiu Honglei’s arrival. His shoes weren’t even on the right feet when he ran out the door. Sure enough, he saw that figure he yearned for day and night.
Every smile and frown from this girl made him go crazy. But this type of perfect woman instead looked for a different man in the middle of the night.
Chu Hongcai’s heart was like a vase that shattered onto solid ground, instantly smashed to countless pieces.
Forget it, it’s just like what Yucheng said. It’s better for her to be with Zu An than some other man, the fertile land not given to other men to farm.
But why do I feel like crying?
…
Qiu Honglei didn’t feel anything under the surrounding whispers. She still stood there with a smile, calmly waiting for that person.
The gates soon opened. The guards all put away their smiles at once when they saw Chu Zhongtian. All of them raised their heads and stuck out their chests, no longer speaking any nonsense.
Qin Wanru was originally fuming with rage. However, her anger seemed to have sudden been jammed the instant she saw this girl.
How could there be such a beautiful girl in this world?
Her oldest daughter was also extremely pretty, but that was a type of reserved and lonely beauty, a type of otherworldly feeling.
This woman before her seemed like the perfect embodiment of worldly beauty. Her entire figure was filled with feminine charm. Forget about men, even women might uncontrollably let their imaginations run wild.
But she reacted a second later. Why am I praising a girl who is trying to steal my daughter’s man?
Pah! She’s just another charming vixen!
She was just about to say something when she noticed her husband’s eyes widening. She was so angry she walked over in a hurry, secretly pinching him.
Chu Zhongtian’s face blushed, coughing to hide his embarrassment.
“I pay my respects to Brightmoon Duke, Madam Chu, and first miss Chu.” Qiu Honglei was a bit surprised when she saw their arrival. However, she didn’t feel too nervous. She greeted each of them with a smile, every action full of proper bearing, not a single flaw could be picked.
Chu Zhongtian looked guiltily at his wife, but he was the clan master. It was only natural that he was the one to reply at this type of time. He cleared his throat and said, “I wonder why lady Qiu decided to visit so late in the evening?”
“Honglei came to tell Ah Zu some things. I didn’t expect to disturb the Master and Madam, I truly must apologize.” Qiu Honglei bowed to express her apology. The hearts of all of the surrounding men were about to melt, how could they bring out a shred of rebuke against this girl?
“What do you need Ah Zu for?” Qin Wanru said in displeasure. She knew that her daughter’s personality was more cold, so she might not be able to bring herself to say anything. As a mother, she obviously had to help her out here.
Hm? If it was before, I would’ve been more than happy to see someone take Zu An, that annoying brat, away. Why am I now worried about him being taken by someone else?
Qin Wanru thought back and forth, but she settled with the reason of ‘We’ll have to find someone else to take his place to refuse the offers of different powers, and it’ll even tanish my daughter’s reputation’ as an excuse.
