Chapter 666 How to Repay Kindness
"What's so strange about it?" Gu Baozhu asked.
Qin Yuan also looked over.
Qin Heng lowered his voice, his tone rather mysterious: "I discovered that Brother Ximen knows another group of people, but they pretend not to know each other."
Those guys didn't look like people to mess with, and their leader was dressed like a scholar. Isn't that strange?
Moreover, the scholar had a large red mole on his left cheek, and when he looked at me, it was as if... as if... yes, as if I were already dead. It scared the hairs on the back of my neck so much that they stood on end.
"Please explain in more detail," Qin Yuan said earnestly.
That scholar is probably the leader of Black Wind Stronghold.
That's incredibly bold!
"If your sister-in-law tells you to speak, then speak quickly. We men shouldn't hesitate when we speak or act," Gu Baozhu slapped Qin Heng hard on the shoulder.
Qin Heng grimaced for a long time, but ultimately didn't make a sound.
Sixth Master Gu glared at Gu Baozhu and asked, "What kind of girl acts like this?"
Gu Baozhu suddenly realized, "Oh, I forgot, I thought I was still Qi Langjun at this moment."
Qin Heng rubbed his shoulder and frowned, saying, "Sister, Baozhu, I'm really impressed with you. How many years have you been the Seventh Miss, and how many days have you been the Master Qi? Won't people recognize you when you go out later?"
“Absolutely not,” Gu Baozhu turned her face away, glanced at Qin Yuan, and immediately regained her fighting spirit: “Third sister-in-law is asking you a question, don’t beat around the bush.”
"……I……"
Qin Heng swallowed his anger and recounted in detail what he had seen and heard.
After listening, Qin Yuan looked at him approvingly: "Heng-ge'er is very observant. It seems that he has made a lot of progress these days."
Qin Heng scratched the top of his head somewhat awkwardly.
It's rare to receive praise from one's elder sister, especially after she married into the Marquis's household.
His lips couldn't help but curl upwards, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.
In just a few months after marrying into the Marquis of Dingbei's household, the eldest sister inexplicably gained a lot of nobility, making people dare not treat her with the slightest disrespect.
Perhaps it's because of the influence of my mother's lifestyle and upbringing that she keeps talking about these days.
The second sister married into the Lin family and became increasingly petty, while the eldest sister became more and more radiant.
Even Qin Heng, who always defended his second sister, wondered if she had been poisoned by the Lin family, which was why she had lost her mind and abandoned the Marquis of Dingbei to choose Lin Ziqi.
It's just a matter of personal taste.
Everyone has his own life.
After holding it in for a while, Qin Heng finally managed to say, "Big sister, I have to grow up eventually."
Qin Yuan smiled and nodded, "You have indeed grown up a lot."
After a moment's thought, he asked again, "So, these people are all in cahoots? How come they've all crowded into Ranxiang Residence?"
Gu Baozhu slammed her hand on the table and complained, "That's right, Qin Heng, didn't I ask Brother Hong to take them all to Shuhai Pavilion? I was thinking that if they caused trouble, they could cause trouble at Shuhai Pavilion, but instead they've come to my Ranxiang Residence. Haven't I just shot myself in the foot? You should go and talk to them."
Only then did everyone realize her little scheme.
Qin Siyuan shook his head with a smile: "You've spared no effort in ripping off Shuhaige."
Gu Baozhu retorted with a stern face, "What else? Shuhai Pavilion bullied my sixth brother. Don't they know that the Gu family is easy to bully? Not to mention that they have been threatened by Mr. Songshan and Young Master Nantang. My third brother is holding back his anger and wants to get revenge."
As the younger sister, I'm not very capable, so isn't it only right that I do my bit to cause some trouble for the Book Sea Pavilion?
Qin Siyuan gave a wry smile and said, "You're right." He seemed unwilling to continue arguing with Gu Baozhu.
Gu Baozhu said seriously, "Scholar Qin, I feel that although you have read a lot of books, you are not clear about the distinction between gratitude and resentment."
Qin Siyuan asked in confusion, "I would like to hear the details."
Gu Baozhu said, “Mr. Songshan said that the sage said: ‘If you repay evil with good, how will you repay good?’ Shuhai Pavilion looked down on my Gu family first, and then it tried to cause trouble for my Gu family, threatening and coercing Mr. Songshan and Young Master Nantang. Since doing business is about everyone relying on their own abilities, it is not a big deal for me to take advantage of the situation and make things difficult for them.”
Someone asked the sage, "What do you think of repaying evil with good?"
The sage replied, "Repay evil with justice and repay kindness with kindness."
Gu Baozhu was not a saint.
She's just a young woman.
Qin Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Cousin, I think what Sister Baozhu said is very true."
Qin Siyuan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It was indeed my fault. I will accept your advice."
Gu Baozhu then became happy and proudly crossed her legs.
Qin Heng explained and defended Xiao Hong and the others.
"Brother Xiao Hong and the others did their best, pestering us to eat and drink along the way, and finally took us to Shuhai Pavilion. Who knew that many people there would persuade those scholars to come to Ranxiang Residence."
While the Nine-Turn Lotus Lantern at Shuhai Pavilion was indeed magnificent and beautiful, the pavilion had put so much effort into its construction; it would surely burn for several days. However, Young Master Nantang and Mr. Songshan couldn't stay long, so everyone else crowded over here.
Gu Baozhu couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"When it comes down to it, my third sister-in-law is still the most capable."
Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Actually, it's all thanks to Shen Changle. He's really very thorough in his work. Baozhu, are you no longer worried about them causing trouble at Ranxiangju?"
Gu Baozhu shook her head: "I'm not afraid. My third brother probably already made arrangements. Didn't Heng just say that even the Five Cities Garrison could suppress them? I guess when they enter the city, they won't dare to confront them head-on."
She narrowed her eyes, a dangerous aura emanating from her face.
I plan to go out and meet those people in person later to see what they're really capable of.
But before that...
Gu Baozhu pulled Qin Heng over: "You have to do something for me later."
"Cough, you scared me! I thought something had happened," Qin Heng said, patting his chest confidently as he recovered. "If there's anything I can do to help you, just let me know."
"...What is it? What is it? You can't do anything important without me..." Xiao Dong ran in, his little face chubby and rosy, covered in sweat.
Without even speaking to the others, she grabbed Qin Heng and hurriedly complained, "They didn't even call me for such an important event as the football match."
A hint of guilt appeared on Qin Heng's face.
Gu Baozhu couldn't help but laugh and gestured with her hand: "You're so short, what would we do with you? Although they're not very useful, at least they can make up the numbers. If we let you all play, Blackie and Little Hong would be too embarrassed to show their faces."
"……what……"
Xiao Dong, who had been stunned for a moment, couldn't help but shout.
Although what he said was true, it was really hurtful.
Xiao Dong blinked, looking aggrieved: "Sister Baozhu, since everyone else is useless, why can Brother Qin Heng go on stage but not me? Is it just because I'm short? Actually, Brother Qin Heng isn't much taller than me. It's clearly you who likes Brother Qin Heng more than me."
