Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 347: Pouring oil on the flame

Before Lian Fang Zhou could agree, an angry voice suddenly cut through the air: “Su Xin’er, you are too much!”

It was Cui Shao Xi!

All three of them were taken aback.

Lian Fang Zhou’s lips curled into a wry smile and she sighed weakly.
It was true that there was no coincidences in this life.
Cui Shao Xi was really here— it was time!

“Cousin!” Su Xin’er’s eyes lit up and the expression on her face softened uncontrollably.
She looked up at him with an infatuated gaze and hurriedly smiled: “Cousin, why are you here? You, are you here to find me?”

“Get away!” Cui Shao Xi flicked his sleeves in disgust and backed up two steps to avoid her, his expression cold.
“I really didn’t expect you to be so vicious in your young age! When did Fang Zhou provoke you so badly? Why are you acting like this!”

The gentle smile on Su Xin’er’s face disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Pale, despair filled every corner of her heart.
Shocked, she said: “Cousin, you… you are here to find her? Help her speak? Are you, are you blaming me? Are you blaming me for her…?”

“Hmph!” Cui Shao Xi said coldly: “If you feel ashamed, then just go back quickly! Don’t stay and embarrass yourself!”

Su Xin’er’s tears welled up and started to fall.
She couldn’t stop them.
Not reaching up to wipe them away, she stared at him in a daze.
Confused, she said stupidly: “You are scolding me… you are scolding me for her?”

Lian Fang Zhou was struggling.
She wanted to stop Cui Shao Xi from speaking but she knew that as long as she spoke, Su Xin’er would only hate her more!

Ah Jian sighed silently.
Subtly blocking Lian Fang Zhou, he spoke to Cui Shao Xi in an indifferent and polite tone: “Cui Shao Xi, your cousin is only a girl! If Young Master Cui has something to say, don’t scare her! Let’s talk about it, it’s only a misunderstanding so don’t get too excited!”

Su Xin’er’s nose was sour.
With a wail, she burst into tears.
Even an outsider treated her better than her cousin.
It was truth that she was so disgusting in her cousin’s eyes!

Cui Shao Xi looked at Lian Fang Zhou but was unable to see her behind Ah Jian.
Unhappy, he snorted: “You don’t need to worry about this! I just can’t see Fang Zhou being wronged! Su Xin’er is arrogant but you’re taking her side when you’re supposed to protect Lian Fang Zhou from being wronged?”

Cui Shao Xi had never learned how to judge people’s feelings or think about their face since he was a child.
He just said whatever he thought with his mouth and did whatever he wanted with his hands.
How could he not be in a rage at this time?

Su Xin’er couldn’t stand it anymore.
Covering her face, she rushed away in tears.

Ju Li and the two servants quickly bowed and ran after her.
Ju Li supported Su Xin’er and said worriedly: “Miss, are you alright? Miss, don’t cry, don’t cry!”

One of the servants said cautiously: “Miss, let’s go back first! No matter what, Madam and Young Master are in charge, they will always protect Miss!”

“I hate her to death! I hate her to death!” Su Xin’er cursed bitterly, leaning weakly on Ju Li who was helping her walk.

The other servant rushed ahead to call the carriage over.

Lian Ze and the others watched quietly from a distance.
Silently, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

When she passed by Sun Ming, Su Xin’er suddenly stopped and raised her head sharply.
Glaring at him, she abruptly raised her hand and slapped him, hard, cursing: “Bitch!”

This move was too fast and unexpected.
Until they heard the crisp sound and they came back to their senses, all of them were dumbfounded.

Sun Ming was even more stunned!

Bitch? This was… this was scolding him! Not only did his face hurt, but Sun Ming was incredibly embarrassed!

At the side, Lian Hai couldn’t help coughing twice, holding back a smile on his face.

“Miss, let’s just go!” Ju Li’s eyes were wide as she vigilantly guarded Su Xin’er with the servant, fearing that Sun Ming would retaliate.

Su Xin’er snorted again and staggered away with her support.

“Brother Sun, are you okay?” Lian Ze asked worriedly.

Qin Feng also felt guilty: “Master Sun, there is some cold water in the guard house, let’s apply it! Really, this is—”

When Lian Hai saw this, he also hurriedly stepped forward to show concern.
After all, Sun Ming had fought for Lian Fang Zhou.

At the top of the hill, Lian Fang Zhou, Ah Jian, and Cui Shao Xi did not noticed what was happening below.

Faced with Cui Shao Xi’s concern, Lian Fang Zhou didn’t know what to say.
She shook her head stiffly and smiled: “In fact, this is just a misunderstanding.
Actually, you don’t need to mind this…”

“It’s not nothing!” Cui Shao Xi frowned: “I could hear what she was saying clearly, she is really too much! I know you won’t mind her for your cousin’s sake but she is taking advantage of you too much! It’s too much to bear, cousin and cousin-in-law are not unreasonable people!”

He hesitated and added in a low voice: “I’m sorry, this is all my—”

“Young Master Cui!” Lian Fang Zhou broke in without waiting for him to finish.
“Young Lady Su’s expression right now seemed very wrong, I’m worried that something will happen to her on the road, please go and look after her!”

Cui Shao Xi had finally gotten up the courage to say something but Lian Fang Zhou had interrupted.
He smiled helplessly and sighed: “But you—”

“I’m really okay!” Lian Fang Zhou shook her head: “Go and look after her! Besides, when this matter reaches cousin and cousin-in-law, I will need your help to explain! I’m very sorry for this misunderstanding!”

Cui Shao Xi suddenly realized what she meant! That Su Xin’er had always been a savage and willful girl who never believed she had done anything wrong.
If something went wrong, it was always someone else’s fault! Who knew how she would reverse black and white while crying complaints, he had to go back quickly!

Thinking about this, Cui Shao Xi didn’t dare to stay any longer and nodded: “Then I will leave first! Don’t worry, I will tell my cousin to take care of her so this won’t happen again! You, don’t take what she said to heart.
She often goes crazy like this, it’s not worth taking seriously.”

“Go, I understand!” Lian Fang Zhou smiled reluctantly.

Cui Shao Xi was worried about not catching up with Su Xin’er, so he didn’t delay any longer.
He looked at Lian Fang Zhou deeply, sighed, and turned to leave.

But after taking only a few steps, Ah Jian suddenly caught up with him and said solemnly: “When you go back, interrogate Young Lady Su carefully.
I think that this is a bit too suspicious, there may be other people behind the scenes.”

Cui Shao Xi patted his chest and gritted his teeth, saying: “Yes, this is too strange! How could that girl suddenly go crazy and come here to pick a fight with Fang Zhou? This is indeed suspicious! I will interrogate her carefully, thank you for the reminder!”
