115: Chu Qing, stop it, there are people outside

Jin Residence:

Chu Qing was lying on Madam Jin's lap.

Madam Jin held down the hem of her dress with one hand and fed him grapes with the other.

“It's good that you're back.”

“I've been so worried these past few days!”

Chu Qing smiled:

“Aren't I fine?”

“Oh, you said I'd have a surprise when I came back.”

“So, where's the surprise?”

Madam Jin said excitedly, “I contacted an old friend of mine, and she found a good girl for you.”

“When I return to Prefecture City at the end of the year, I'll take you to meet her.”

Madam Jin said that the good girl was tall and slender, with long, strong legs. Her physique was suitable for bearing sons, and she would definitely not let her children go hungry.

As she spoke, she picked up a book and threw it to Chu Qing, saying, “You read! Jin Pangzi is outside, so he needs to know that you are also serious and hardworking!”

Chu Qing laughed, “You read it to me; I don't want to!”

“Read some books and learn about the Acupoints!”

Madam Jin smiled, “Alright!”

“But I'll just read casually!”

Chu Qing nodded.

Madam Jin was happy. She held the book and read to Chu Qing.

Sometimes she read myths and legends, sometimes Martial Arts Knowledge, and sometimes she talked about Acupoints.

Ten minutes… half an hour… Madam Shi, whom Madam Jin had been eagerly awaiting, finally arrived.

Hearing the voices of the four Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon maids scolding Jin Pangzi from outside the door, she put down the book and smiled, “Qing'er, get up quickly! There are many people outside!”

Chu Qing smiled, “Let Chief Constable Shi in!”

Madam Jin shook her head frantically, not wanting Madam Shi to come in.

Madam Shi was cold, and she didn't like her much.

The result:

Before long, Madam Shi came in by herself.

She closed the door, then stared intently at Madam Jin and Chu Qing, her gaze icy cold.

At this moment:

Madam Jin stood up to pour her tea.

“Have some tea!”

However, Madam Shi remained still and said coldly, “No!”

She wanted to sing opera.

Because it was too boring.

Chu Qing stood up and met the cold gaze of Madam Shi:

“Performer, why aren't you performing yet?”

Madam Shi's face was cold, and she said disdainfully, “Groom, you are shameless!”

Chu Qing chuckled, turned, and stood behind Madam Jin, beginning to press her Acupoints to relieve her fatigue.

Madam Jin lowered her head, not daring to meet Madam Shi's gaze.

Because Madam Shi's eyes were too cold.

At this time:

Madam Shi's mood was actually very complex.

Ever since Chu Qing dared to watch her perform, she knew that this young man was a bit unusual, but at most, he was just a little bolder.

She bestowed upon Chu Qing the position of Groom.

The Martial Academy assessment only had ten spots, and they were all reserved for the Young Masters of Prominent Families from Prefecture City.

However:

Chu Qing, under such circumstances, managed to pass the exam and get in by his own ability.

Even the sons of local Powerful and Wubao Disciples were not as good as him.

What was even more terrifying was:

This young man, after entering the Inner Courtyard, cultivated 365 Golden Tendons in less than two months.

This speed, this efficiency.

It shocked her.

As far as she knew, even the most talented individuals of the Bingjia Sect weren't as fast as him.

A few days ago:

Chu Qing even dared to burn Zheng Zhixiang's army.

This time, he even went to Zhou City and provoked a Powerful Family—the Wang Family.

One must know that even she did not want to, nor did she dare to, casually provoke the Young Masters of Prominent Families in Zhou City.

It wasn't because she was timid, but because the Bingjia Sect behind her didn't want to provoke those Noble families.

These Noble families appeared inconspicuous.

But, in reality, they were very terrifying.

Ordinary people, let alone opposing them, didn't even have the qualifications to be their dogs.

The result:

Chu Qing led a group of Mud Leg and forcefully killed the Wang Family's running dogs.

This courage, this mindset, shocked her.

Therefore:

When Madam Jin contacted her, she immediately dealt with trivial matters and rushed to the Jin Residence.

She wanted to ask this young man if provoking the Wang Family in Zhou City was out of ignorance or madness.

Then, she was surprised to find:

This young man was here, leisurely, as if nothing had happened.

“You are too bold!”

“Do you still have the mood to rest here?”

“If I were you, I would find a place to hide!”

“Wait ten or eight years until the fuss dies down, then come out!”

Madam Shi's tone was cold, but she was a little worried internally.

Chu Qing's heart stirred, and he said to Madam Shi, “I don't care!”

Madam Shi sneered, “You don't care, but what about others?”

Chu Qing said earnestly:

“Those who dare to provoke me, and I dare to deal with them, means I have enough strength!”

Madam Shi sneered, disbelieving him.

She suddenly let out a sharp cry and struck out fiercely, testing Chu Qing's abilities.

Chu Qing showed no fear and fought back against her.

Clap, clap, clap, the two exchanged blows. Although it wasn't a fight to the death, a misstep and a hit to the body would still cause bruises, swelling, and unbearable pain.

Chu Qing was actually no match for Madam Shi.

But Madam Shi also knew to hold back and boost his confidence.

Therefore, she deliberately let him hit her several times.

She hummed a tune while fighting, completely at ease.

Outside the door:

The Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon maids were happy: “Young Miss is teaching that Mud Leg a lesson again!”

“The more arrogant this Mud Leg is, the more severely Young Miss will punish him.”

“Young Miss's singing is extraordinary; she can fight and sing at the same time, and her tone remains very stable.”

One minute… five minutes… the song ended.

The sound of slaps disappeared.

The four Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon maids happily said, “I wonder if that Mud Leg was beaten into a pig's head by Young Miss?”

“Every time Young Miss leaves, he doesn't dare to show himself; this proves that he is always beaten into a pig's head by Young Miss.”

Jin Pangzi, standing nearby, looked puzzled.

He remembered that every time Chu Qing left, his face was normal, with no signs of swelling.

A terrifying thought suddenly arose in his mind:

“Could it be… that it wasn't Madam Shi hitting Chu Qing, but… Chu Qing hitting Madam Shi?”

Slap!

Jin Pangzi slapped himself.

“What the hell am I thinking?”

“How noble is Madam Shi? She is the heaven of Shiji County; she is Chief Constable Shi's wife. Let alone hitting her, even saying a malicious word to her would result in immediate execution!”

“Could it be that he hit my wife?”

The thought of his delicate wife being beaten by Chu Qing twisted his heart like a knife.

He wanted to go in and see.

The result:

The four Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon maids nearby said disdainfully, “Are you crazy?”

“Get lost!”

Jin Pangzi chuckled and quickly retreated a few steps.

Then… he stared intently at the door, thinking wildly: “I wonder how Chu Qing hit my wife.”

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

Whoosh!

Chu Qing and Madam Shi finished their spar at the same time.

Chu Qing took more hits.

But he also hit Madam Shi a few times.

It was an improvement over last time, which was pretty good.

Madam Shi, as proud as a white swan, said:

“Groom, be careful during this time.”

“Don't go out unless it's necessary!”

Chu Qing's heart stirred, knowing that Madam Shi was worried about him, so he nodded and said, “Understood!”

“I'm leaving now!”

Madam Shi stood up and left.

But as she reached the door, she suddenly said, “Do you still have any bright pearls?”

Chu Qing… “Yes!”

“Give them to me, I'll make a secret concoction for you!”

Chu Qing smiled, “My Golden Tendons are at Perfection, so I don't need secretly concocted bright pearls anymore.”

“Could it be that you like secretly concocted bright pearls?”

Madam Shi's face turned cold, and she raised her hand to hit him.

The result:

Chu Qing grabbed her wrist and said loudly, “What? You still want to hit me?”

Madam Shi was stunned.

Outside the door, Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon gritted their teeth and said, “Young Miss has hit you hundreds of times; what's the harm in letting Young Miss hit you again?”

Inside the room:

Madam Shi… Chu Qing… Madam Jin… Madam Shi was cold and whispered, “You are the first person to dare to treat me like this.”

“Groom… you will regret it.”

After speaking, she nodded to Madam Jin and turned to leave.

Click!

The door closed.

The voices of the Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon maids came from outside the door:

“Young Miss, did you swell his face?”

“Young Miss, why don't you let us see that Mud Leg's pathetic state?”

“Young Miss…”

The voices faded into the distance.

Jin Pangzi knocked on the door: “Madam…”

Madam Jin took a deep breath and said coldly, “What is it?”

Jin Pangzi said weakly, “Nothing!”

Madam Jin said in annoyance, “Don't bother me if there's nothing; I'm teaching Qing'er Martial Arts Knowledge!”

Inside the room:

Chu Qing was diligently studying Acupoints.

Outside the room:

Jin Pangzi waited silently.
