Seeing that he was approaching, Jian Qingqing took out a dagger and pressed it against his tummy. She warned, “This knife of mine doesn’t have eyes. If you come any closer, I won’t know what will happen.”
Master Zhu stopped in his tracks. The concubine and housekeeper beside him called out in panic, “Master!”
Jian Qingqing did not even look at them. She continued, “Also, I’ve never seen such an ordinary and confident person like you. Why, you’re so old and haven’t been beaten up by anyone? If vou haven’t been beaten up, then vou probably haven’t left Shifeng County. That’s right. How would someone like you who hasn’t seen the world know that there’s always someone better than you? Do you really think that the family property that you obtained from your ancestors is the throne? For someone like you, I don’t want all this money even if you give it all to me.”
Because he had a sharp dagger in front of him, Master Zhu, who was scared to death, did not even dare to move. He said angrily out of embarrassment, “Quickly let me go! I can let bygones be bygones. Why, didn’t you do all this just to get my attention? Alright, I’ll tell you now. You’ve succeeded, so quickly let me go. I admit that you do have some ability. For a little girl like you who came from a lowly background, didn’t you do all this just to get my attention? What invention of fine salt to find high-yield grain? You’re just trying to marry me. After all, I’m a wealthy man. There’s no one in the entire Shifeng County who’s as rich as me. I also have a graceful appearance. It’s normal for you to have such thoughts. However, you’re doing the opposite. I don’t want you to be my wife now. How about it? Do you regret it? If you regret it, just let me go. I can still be magnanimous enough to give you a place to sit as a concubine.
Otherwise, you won’t get anything if you keep holding a knife against me!”
Jian Qingqing could not help but retch when she heard his long list of words that did not seem like something a human could say. She even suspected that this person had traveled through time. She did not know how many novels of an overbearing CEO he had read, but these quotations were surprisingly similar.
However, Jian Qingqing did not intend to acknowledge him even if he was a fellow countryman from the modern era. Talking to this disgusting man who did not understand human language was a total waste of breath. She pushed the knife an inch forward. With a cold face, she said to the butler beside him, “Open the door quickly!”
Master Zhu was in so much pain that he cried out. He did not have the strength to speak recklessly anymore.
Butler Zhang was drenched in cold sweat. He quickly said, “I’ll open the door now! Don’t hurt our Master!”
After the door was opened, Jian Qingqing moved quickly and walked behind Master Zhu. The tip of the knife was pressed against his back again. “Be obedient and leave quickly!”
Master Zhu was frightened and could only walk in front obediently.
Jian Qingqing was not afraid of this idiot. She was really afraid of the butler at the side. As she walked, she stared at him and threatened, “Don’t think about calling people over. Otherwise, your Master’s life will be in danger.”
Butler Zhang could only answer unwillingly, “Definitely not. Miss Jian, be careful. Don’t go too far. Otherwise, if something happens to our Master, I don’t know what I will do.”
Jian Qingqing sneered, “You guys are the ones who go too far. I came here to do business with you. I haven’t even said anything yet and you guys are already doing this. You better watch your Master closely in the future. Otherwise, if he offends others, they won’t be as easy to talk to as I am..”
