C89 (2/2)
Then he pinched her chin and asked, ”Did you remember that?”
Zhou Lean pursed her lips and laughed, ”Empress's teachings are correct, chenqie … ”Got it.”
”It's good that you remember.”
Qiu Rong shook his hand, and his palm turned completely red, ”My Six Conclaves, I will never tolerate people who spout nonsense and create trouble. Seeing that you don't have a reliable memory, I shall punish you to write down the words I just said five hundred times on the stone steps, and when you will be able to get up again.”
”Before leaving, I had promised Zhou Leping that I would take good care of you.
Lin Xiafu looked at Zhou Lean smugly, and intentionally bumped into her before he left.
Zhou Lean was not able to stand steadily, and was knocked to the ground by her. As she laid on the ground, she watched the group of people walk off into the distance, and boundless hatred arose in her heart.
Qiu Rong beating and punishing Zhou Lean really helped Lin Xiafu to not have any anger left in her mouth. It was difficult to conceal the excitement in her words, but before she could say anything more, she was glared at by Qiu Rong to shut her mouth.
Qiu Rong changed his hand and struck Lin Xiafu's face.
Lin Xiafu was stunned, and the other rich people were also stunned.
For a moment, there was only silence. No one dared to speak. Even their breathing had slowed.
”Did you hear what I just said?”
Lin Xiafu's tears rolled in her eyes, covering her face, she nodded in disbelief, ”Remember … ”Got it.”
”Remember, do not offend me again in the future. Just now, I was just leaving you some face. I will not rub the sand in my eyes, no matter who you are.”
Lin Xiafu's previous happiness and pride had completely disappeared, he watched Qiu Rong leave grievously, and in the end, when he saw that had left, he angrily flung his sleeves, stomped his feet, and wiped his tears, a look of hatred in his eyes.
Zhou Leping was restless for the past two days, her mind was in a mess, she had lost a lot of hair, but there was no news at all from the outside. She was about to go crazy from being locked up, so she could only use the alcohol to ease her worry.
She discovered that when she was drinking alone, her alcohol capacity was exceptionally good. She drank from three to five wine jars at her feet. Until now, she was not the least bit intoxicated.
The last time Zhu Guanliang said that he would go back and pack his things, he was only joking with her. He would only occasionally walk in front of her for a walk, and seeing her sitting alone in the courtyard drinking, his back lonely and desolate, he couldn't help but walk forward.
”With your extended hand, getting out of this General's Estate is not a difficult matter, why don't you get out?” He snatched the wine jar from her hands and set it far away, staring at her with his burning gaze. ”Lin Jing might be avoiding suspicion as well, but who knows how many times he's run into the Heavenly Prison.”
”The imperial guards are outside.”
Zhu Guanliang supported his chin, turned his head and smiled at her, ”You must be joking with me right? Even if it's the imperial guards, you still can't get out? ”
”This is the emperor's order.”
So it wasn't that she couldn't get out, it was that she didn't want to get out, because the emperor was pressuring her from above.
Such a stubborn mind is a real pain in the neck.
