"Brother, can this Miss Han really cure my face?" The woman wore a bamboo hat, and her facial expression wasn't very clear. But the words had too much anxiety, causing Dongfang Zhao's heart to tighten up.
"Look at Brother's face, that big scar is now completely gone. Don't worry too much, Little Sister." Dongfang Zhao comforted her, and he genuinely liked this younger sister of his. He should have brought her to treat her face a long time ago, but the things that happened in the Dongfang household had left him with a few more worries on his mind.
It's obvious that someone is framing themselves, and the current Yu Shu Huan absolutely doesn't have such ability, so it can only be Pei Ming Xuan. That famous man, because he was dissatisfied with his attitude towards Yu Shu Huan? At that time, when he saw Yu Tian Cheng in the next room, Dong Fang Zhao instinctively felt that something was wrong.
Threatening Yuan Shuhan and threatening Pei Mingxuan are two completely different concepts. At least the former has some hope of success, while the latter is purely seeking death. I was already feeling anxious at that time, wondering if Yu Tiancheng would hear the conversation between me and Yuan Shuhan, but what was meant to come eventually came anyway.
This person is not enough to swallow an elephant, and he himself is thoroughly understood. If he hadn't spoken those words to Yuan Shuhan because of his own interests, then after Pei Mingxuan's injury was fully healed, the Dongfang family would have made Pei Mingxuan a great meritorious minister. But now Pei Mingxuan has told him in this way that he is extremely angry about this matter.
If it weren't for the fact that Dongfang's family had some connections, they might have been completely wiped out by now. So Dongfang Zhaixin felt extremely regretful, but more than that, he was helpless. After all, he had made a mistake, and what else could he do besides stubbornly holding on?
Tang Xishi's mouth curled up in a sarcastic smile. This cousin of hers was indeed daring to speak out. Although she had said that her disfigurement back then was partly due to Dongfang Zhao, but more so because of herself. She didn't know when she would be used as a stepping stone by her stepmother and married off, it was better to disfigure herself and make everyone detest her.
Moreover, it can also give Dongfang Zhao a favor, which is a suitable deal. Who would have thought that Dongfang Zhao would entangle himself with this and even say that he and Dongfang Zhao are closely related? Ha! If not for the family's wealth and power, if not for the father's high position, would you accept me, a disfigured person?
The words sound nice, but I don't know what they really think. Maybe deep down, they feel like a toad wanting to eat swan meat. This sentence is also what I want to say to you, unfortunately, you are always my nominal mother. As for Dongfang Zhao, Tang Xishi didn't have any sympathy.
This brother-in-law may have had some affection for himself, but more of it was also because of his father's face. Moreover, the mother's birth is not ordinary, and he himself was born as a county master, this identity is what you value most. Tang Xishan saw clearly, so he used it without leaving any emotions.
But when Tang Xishi saw this small courtyard, he also felt an unspeakable surprise in his heart, although there was no loss of composure. Who would have thought that such a small yard could do so many things, and even more unexpectedly, Miss Han would actually be in such a place.
Although she hadn't seen the person yet, Tang Xishi already had a few points of disdain in her heart. Even if his medical skills were superb, what was the point? He still had to be at the beck and call of Dongfang Zhao. Although Tang Xishi's good upbringing didn't allow her to show such contempt on her face, it was strange that her cousin showed respect instead.
Even when dealing with the doorman, there was not a hint of disrespect, and it could even be said that he was respectful. The Dong family is extremely concerned about saving face, and Tang Xishi had a deep understanding of this. Coming to such a place was already considered condescending, let alone making such a display.
With such doubts, Tang Xishan followed Dongfang Zhao to this place. However, he didn't see the people around looking at them, most of them were disdainful. The young man glanced at Dongfang Zhao and even sarcastically said a sentence. "The face of the Eastern Prince is indeed something we can't compare with, at least after such an incident I would absolutely not dare to show up."
Even so, An Mo still went up quietly to call for someone. Although it was likely that the person was already at the stairs, it wasn't until after a considerable amount of time had passed that a 10-year-old little girl came down.
Tang Xishi couldn't help but ask, "Little girl, where is your young mistress?" If the other party was indeed a little servant girl, then Tang Xishi's behavior would have been considered polite. Unfortunately, the "Miss Huan" they were referring to was actually the ten-year-old girl in front of them.
"Hmph! Dongfang Zhao, are you sure you want to look for trouble with me?" If that's the case, don't blame me for getting rid of you. Just like Fei Jian said, they have the ability to be so arrogant, no big deal if we just take the child and run away. An Mo has already prepared to sweep him out, it seems Dongfang Zhao hasn't been taught a lesson yet.
"Miss Yu, my cousin has been raised in the inner chambers since childhood, please don't blame her!" Dongfang Zhao's words already had a hint of pleading, and it was indeed necessary to be extremely careful in this small courtyard, lest one accidentally get oneself killed. Not to mention the person living upstairs, Pei Mingxuan, just Yu Shuhuan in front of him was enough to intimidate.
"I'm Xiao Yatou, so I can talk without counting as a conversation." Yuan Shuheng turned around and left. She didn't like the tone of this woman's speech. Today, she just wouldn't treat this woman, who could do anything to her anyway? Moreover, this woman looked older than herself, making a child like herself apologize to an adult, Dongfang Zhao really had the nerve to say that sentence.
Dongfang Zhao's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and facing Yuan Shu Huan's words, he didn't have any room for rebuttal. If his own cousin could be excused for not understanding things, then shouldn't a child like him be even more excusable? After all, there's the saying "children's words are innocent, blown away by the wind." But did Dongfang Zhao dare say this now?
"Mo Huan, who wants to look for trouble?" Si Kong Zi Hong obviously heard the words "look for trouble", and suddenly became a bit restless. Two big men like himself and Pei Ming Xuan were here, yet they still allowed someone to cause trouble for Yuan Shu Han. That wasn't a question of should or shouldn't, but rather one of life or death.
"Marquis of Huainan?" Tang Xishi was thoroughly shocked. If earlier he had been surprised because Yuan Shuheng was just such a small child, now it was the Marquis of Huainan, such an important figure, appearing here that left him stunned.
Dongfang Zhao was also very surprised, but his surprise was because of the two words "Mo Huan". Who did Huainan Hou's intimate address belong to? Dongfang Zhao looked up and glanced around, but found that there was only one stranger, Huainan Hou. However, in the next moment, he got the answer he wanted.
"Xiāo Kōng Zǐ Hóng, please call me Yuán Shū Hán or Qīng Mò Huān, don't omit my surname." Yuán Shū Hán is currently in a bad mood, and his words are quite impolite.
The opposite Sikong Zihong just smiled, Yuan Shuheng had been more vicious than this in front of him before, and Sikong Zihong said he was already used to such a Yuan Shuheng. If one day Yuan Shuheng showed gentleness to himself, then Sikong Zihong would be restless, and wonder if this person was an imposter.
"Qingmo Huan, isn't this enough? Who wants to find trouble with you, the renowned Lord of Canyan County, or perhaps this young master?" Si Kong Zihong was now completely unscrupulous in exposing people's secrets, anyway these things couldn't be hidden forever. On the other side, there was also Pei Mingxuan who understood even more, anyway it would all come to light eventually.
Tang Xishi did not expect that this seemingly gentle person would not even give himself a bit of face, and at the same time felt both wronged and more surprised. It seems that today, the two of them had thoroughly offended this Lord Hou. Unfortunately, compared to the other party, he was indeed too light in weight.
"He!" Yuan Shu Huan's slender fingers pointed straight at Dong Fang Zhao, his face didn't show any anger, but it made Dong Fang Zhao instinctively feel a sense of danger. This look on Yuan Shu Huan was something he had seen before, it was the same as when he almost died at Yuan Shu Huan's hands last time, Yuan Shu Huan really didn't care about killing or not killing people.
Moreover, there is still a Marquis in front of us, who can easily pinch people to death with his hands. His intimidating power may not be inferior to that of Pei Mingxuan. After all, Pei Mingxuan's current situation is uncertain, and although he holds the title of Prince in the court, he no longer has control over the army.
However, the Marquis of Huainan was different. Although he was also a new noble in the court and a major power holder, the key point was that this marquis was clearly on Yuan Shuhan's side, possibly due to Pei Mingxuan's influence.
"Dongfang Zhao, Dongfang Zhao, did you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you? What a big shot, daring to come to my humble courtyard. Don't you know that this temple is too small to accommodate such a great Buddha like you?" The so-called cousin turned out to be a county mistress, and Yuan Shuheng indeed had the heart to kill someone.
The majestic King Xuan has already taken up residence in this humble courtyard, and yet you're still worried about accommodating my cousin, the county mistress? Besides, who says she'll be staying here anyway? Didn't you say that there's no more room for anyone else to stay here?
"Don't get angry, just kill him if you want to, or I'll do it for you?" Hearing Yuan Shu Huan's words, Si Kong Zi Hong couldn't help but burst out laughing. If it were the old Yuan Shu Huan, even ten Dong Fang Zhaos wouldn't be enough. And that little girl isn't simple either, Dong Fang Zhao really knows how to cause trouble for Yuan Shu Huan.
Just based on this, Si Kong Zihong didn't like Dongfang Zhao. Who made him trouble Yuan Shuhuan? Yuan Shuhuan doesn't like trouble, he has to clean up for Yuan Shuhuan in the future, otherwise what if all sorts of small cats and dogs come crawling here and Yuan Shuhuan gets a headache and falls ill?
"You're making fun of me now?" Yuan Shu Huan frowned and spoke coldly, while Si Kong Zi Hong was gentle but firm. In the end, it was Yuan Shu Huan who sighed and conceded defeat. "Take off your bamboo hat, or how can I show you?"
