Chapter 372: Revenge on the Spot
As Chu Qinghuang walked, he secretly paid attention to the movements in the house. There were many masters hiding in the dark, and there were also some dead soldiers who stayed behind.
The Zhou family is Uncle Qin's most powerful support. The family is big and powerful, so they will naturally support the dead and do things for them that they cannot do on the surface.
The reason why she let the Qin family go when they ransacked the house was because King Xuan and Uncle Qin invested most of their property in the Zhou family's business.
When officials are corrupt, it is easier to clean up if they have account books. Merchants' homes have a lot of business, but it takes a lot of effort to investigate, so it is impossible to directly confiscate their homes.
Chu Qinghuang had thought before that she would check the Zhou family when she had time, but she didn't expect them to come to the door themselves.
"Brother Six!" A pretty girl in front of her swooped over like a butterfly. She was light and agile in white clothes. "Brother Six, where have you been? I have something to do -"
Before she finished speaking, the woman in white's voice stopped, her hostile and wary eyes fell on Chu Qinghuang's face, and she said coldly: "Who are you?"
"Don't be rude." Zhou Shao scolded, "This is Miss Chu, my distinguished guest."
"What distinguished guest? Isn't he just a good-looking vixen? Does Sixth Brother like her?" The woman looked pale and stared at Chu Qinghuang with resentment and jealousy in her eyes. "Sixth Brother has a distinguished status, but she is not worthy of you at all!"
Chu Qinghuang glanced at her expressionlessly, then turned to look at Zhou Shao: "It seems that someone doesn't welcome me. It's my presumption to say goodbye."
The woman in white froze.
"Miss Chu!" Zhou Shao spoke quickly and stretched out his hand to block her way, "This is Zhou's cousin. She has been spoiled by her aunt since she was a child. She is coquettish and unreasonable. I hope Miss Chu is rich enough not to be as knowledgeable as her."
"I really have no interest in being acquainted with her." Chu Qinghuang said coldly, "But I have a bad temper, and anyone who speaks rudely to me will never end well. If Mr. Zhou really wants to apologize, let her slap herself. Ten slaps, and I won’t bother with her about this matter.”
What?
The expressions of Zhou Shao and the woman in white changed.
"Miss Chu." Zhou Shao bowed deeply, with a calm and courteous attitude, "Zhou apologizes for my cousin. I hope Miss Chu will be generous enough to forgive her this time."
"Everyone who knows me knows that I am a petty woman, narrow-minded, vindictive, and vengeful." Chu Qinghuang has never mind belittling herself, and this time is no exception. "If Mr. Zhou feels embarrassed, I will not force him. But I won’t stay here and continue to look at people’s faces.”
Zhou Shao frowned, then turned to look at the woman in white: "Mei Wan, do as Miss Chu said."
The woman in white was named Shen Wan. Her face changed suddenly when she heard this, and she looked at him in disbelief: "Sixth brother..."
Not acting?
Why should she slap herself?
"Do as you say!" Zhou Shao's tone became more serious, "You were the first to be rude to Miss Chu, and you should apologize."
Shen Wan turned to look at Chu Qinghuang, her face was pale, and she said pitifully: "Miss Chu."
Chu Qinghuang said nothing, his expression indifferent and cold.
Shen Wan bit her lip, raised her hand and touched her face with a soft force, as if she hadn't eaten.
"Mr. Zhou's house looks very big. The Zhou family must be very rich." Chu Qinghuang's eyes fell on Shen Wan. "The girl's clothes also look valuable. Why don't you have enough to eat?"
Shen Wan was so angry that she almost couldn't control her temper. However, when she thought of the rumors about Chu Qinghuang's violent temper, she had to suppress her anger and slapped her a little harder the second time.
Zhou Shao watched silently and began to hesitate in his heart. Should he implement the first plan, use the beauty trick to successfully enter the palace, and then cooperate with King Xuan inside and outside, or should he use this rare opportunity to directly get rid of Chu Qinghuang?
The first plan takes time, the second plan is too risky...
Crack, pop, pop... After ten slaps were given sparsely, Shen Wan's face turned red, with tears of embarrassment in her eyes, she whimpered, turned around and ran away.
"My cousin is so ignorant." Zhou Shao came back to his senses and put a warm and impeccable smile on his face again, "I didn't make arrangements in advance, so Miss Chu was wronged."
"I haven't suffered any grievances." Chu Qinghuang told the truth, "I like to avenge my grudges on the spot. After I have done so, I don't have to bear the grudge anymore. After all, remembering someone for a long time is quite tiring."
This was the first time Zhou Shao heard such a statement. No matter what he thought in his heart, there was only a perfect smile like a gentleman on his face: "It is really rare for Miss Chu to have such a temper. Zhou is lucky enough to meet the girl today. She must have cultivated it in her previous life." Blessing comes.”
"I think so too." Chu Qinghuang said lightly, "I hope Mr. Zhou can keep this idea forever."
