Chapter 238: 4 Qingqing is too wronged!

Chapter 238: Chapter 4 Qingqing is too wronged!

At the doorway of the firewood room.

An Yihua’s face was numb.

She didn’t know why she hadn’t refused her mother-in-law, why she had followed her here.

Since they had come, why did they need to sneak around and hide?

She always felt something was off.

An Yihua was about to speak when Ye Xiao skillfully handed her a handful of sunflower seeds, “Are you bored? Take these to pass the time.”

An Yihua wanted to decline, but it was impossible to refuse a gift from an elder; she still accepted it.

Ye Xiao said, “Don’t be anxious, Gu Changze will be here soon. When the time comes, I promise you’ll see a good show.”

An Yihua felt somewhat helpless.

Gu Changze was her mother-in-law’s son, her husband!

How could her mother-in-law talk as if she was looking forward to a drama unfolding? Was this really okay?

Regardless of whether it was okay or not, An Yihua was certain of one thing.

Her mother-in-law was probably nothing like the reputation that preceded her.

But she didn’t understand why.

Watching Ye Xiao’s enthusiastic demeanor, An Yihua also relaxed a lot.

After all, she and Gu Changze did not have any real affection between them; her discomfort stemmed much more from worry about her own future and destiny.

Now it seemed.

Her mother-in-law already had a plan.

And considering what her mother-in-law had said earlier…

She probably wouldn’t end up too miserable, right?

“He’s coming!” Ye Xiao suddenly stopped eating sunflower seeds and looked anxiously in a particular direction.

An Yihua looked that way too.

Indeed, they saw Gu Changze desperately rushing over.

He had a knife against his own neck, while the guards behind him wanted to stop him but feared he might act impulsively and harm himself, leaving them in a tough spot.

“Don’t come any closer, or I’ll commit suicide right before your eyes. Then let’s see how you explain that,” Gu Changze yelled.

The guards indeed didn’t dare to advance.

Among them, someone was already rushing to inform the lady of the house.

It was uncertain whether the lady had been informed yet!

At this moment, without the lady, they couldn’t wrap things up!

An Yihua watched with a pained expression.

Not for any other reason, but because she felt… with such a husband, her future was indeed unpredictable.

When you think about it.

With Marquis Valiant unconscious, Gu Changze was the only one who could hold up the family honor. But the mother-in-law seemed not worried at all…

Wasn’t she afraid that the future of the Marquis Valiant Residence would be ruined in Gu Changze’s hands?

An Yihua was genuinely puzzled by this, but she didn’t dampen the mood at this time; instead, she wisely chose silence.

Seeing the guards truly reluctant to step forward, Gu Changze finally ran to the firewood room, wanting to see Liu Qingqing.

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow and glanced at the ongoing scene.

“Gu Changze, gazing anxiously through the window. He saw that in front of Liu Qingqing, there was casually a basket of buns with a yellowish hue, clearly of poor quality. Other than the buns, there wasn’t even a bit of dish in sight. Gu Changze’s heart ached. His Qingqing, the top singer who never sold her body in the brothel, used to live a life of luxury, and now that she was with him, she had fallen to such a plight. It was him; it was him who had failed Qingqing.”

“Under Gu Changze’s heart-wrenching gaze, Liu Qingqing, seemingly unable to bear the hunger any longer, took a bun and lightly took a bite. That was all she ate, just one bite of the bun. After all, it was hard for her to swallow such food. Gu Changze watched in distress. Qingqing, his Qingqing, had suffered too many grievances.”

“Unable to endure any longer, Gu Changze kicked open the door with one foot. He wanted to take Qingqing away, he must…”

Ye Xiao glanced briefly at the script, then repeatedly rolled her eyes.

She had previously revealed Liu Qingqing’s different traits in front of so many people. Even the most love-struck person should take a moment to ponder whether their so-called true love was problematic, right?

But instead.

The original character, this barbecued pork son, only hesitated for such a short time before he started to feel sorry for her again and even considered eloping with her.

Ye Xiao flipped through the memories of the original host.

Ye Qingrong was actually a person with a strong personality; having married such a husband, she was the envy of everyone. Who could have foreseen the fickle nature of fate, with Marquis Valiant suddenly falling ill?

At that time, countless people were waiting to see Ye Qingrong’s mockery.

Unwilling to be ridiculed, she managed the Marquis Residence inside and out, upholding it on behalf of Marquis Valiant.

Her attitude towards her two children was also rather strict.

Ye Qingrong believed that these two children should, like her, shoulder the responsibilities of the Marquis Residence.

However, both children seemed to view it as a shackle, leading to a rebellious mentality and the pursuit of so-called freedom and true love.

Ye Xiao also found this quite headache-inducing.

The original host really left her a huge mess.

She thought she might try to give the son and daughter a hand.

If she couldn’t pull them back, then let them be.

When Marquis Valiant woke up, he could worry about these two things himself.

At this moment.

Ye Xiao looked at the plot and used the last of the three characters given by the system.

Thus, the plot began to unfold.

Gu Changze had already rushed to the front of the firewood room, looking anxiously through the window.

Just as described in the plot, Liu Qingqing’s food consisted of nothing but a basket of yellowing steamed buns.

Seeing this, Gu Changze already felt heartache.

Then, Liu Qingqing picked up a bun and took a timid bite.

The next moment, a pained expression crossed her face.

Gu Changze could no longer stand it; with a roar, he kicked open the door of the firewood room.

Ye Xiao dusted off her clothes and stood up, “Let’s go and have a look.”

An Yihua nodded helplessly.

The two of them walked over.

The guards were slightly startled and quickly saluted.

But Gu Changze kept his gaze on the scene inside the room.

For a long while, he did not react.

Isn’t this…

What… what’s going on!

In his view, Liu Qingqing, who had just shown a pained expression, suddenly began grabbing the large buns one by one and devoured them voraciously!

“Qingqing, are you… are you okay?” Gu Changze blurted out his line subconsciously.

Seeing Gu Changze, Liu Qingqing’s eyes clearly lit up, but she couldn’t stop eating the buns; all she could do was chew while looking tearfully at Gu Changze, “Master Gu, you’ve finally come.”

If she hadn’t continued to frantically eat the steamed buns, her tear-streaked face might have elicited Gu Changze’s pity.

But now.

Her mouth was stuffed with food, and as she spoke, one could see the contents swirling inside.

Gu Changze, after all, was a son of the Marquis Residence; he had never encountered such a scene and felt a certain discomfort.

“Who allowed you to come out on your own?” This time, Ye Xiao’s voice echoed.

Turning around, Gu Changze saw the dignified countenance of his mother.

Ye Xiao glanced at Liu Qingqing, who was still desperately eating the buns, and the corner of her mouth curved into a subtle smile.

A little earlier.

She had merely changed “In the end, she just took a bite of the bun” to “In the end, she just ate a basket of buns”!

So, until this basket of buns is finished, it seems Liu Qingqing won’t be stopping!
