Yan Bai silently placed everything he had on the table, then touched the sword at his waist. He stood up without saying a word, causing the man to step back in fright. However, seeing that he had two companions nearby, he pointed at Yan Bai and shouted, "Who do you think you are? Scaring people with a sword? Do you really think you can kill someone? Is there no law anymore?"
His words were completely disorganized, and his sharp voice sounded like a duck quacking, making it quite uncomfortable to listen to.
Meanwhile, the girl who had fallen to the ground was crying as she looked at the broken pastries, appearing utterly pitiful. Su Peijiu sighed and said, "Whose lady is this? Such a grand display?"
Only then did the man shift his gaze to Su Peijiu's face. At first glance, he was taken aback by her beauty, but upon closer inspection, suspicion appeared in his eyes. He trembled his lips but dared not speak.
At that moment, there was a commotion outside the door, followed by an extremely sultry female voice that echoed softly, "Dogzi, why is your efficiency so low?" A pair of embroidered shoes adorned with peonies caught the eye, followed by an orange dress that came into view.
Not everyone could pull off such an orange outfit, but this arrogant lady wore it so vibrantly and charmingly that it caught everyone's attention.
However, Su Peijiu felt her vision darken; she recognized this woman.
"Madam..." Dogzi stepped forward quickly to assist the lady, his eyes filled with flattery.
As the lady entered the room, her gaze immediately fell on Su Peijiu. After a flicker of jealousy crossed her eyes, she approached with a charming smile and said, "Oh dear, I’m so sorry. This Auspicious Cloud Pavilion has already been booked by me. If this lady wants pastries, please turn left when you exit; there’s another pastry shop down that alley."
The alley at the end of the left turn only had a stinky shop. Although this lady was beautiful, her words were quite unpleasant.
Su Peijiu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why should I leave?"
The lady was slightly taken aback and then covered her mouth with her handkerchief as she laughed lightly, "Because I have already booked the place."
"Have you paid?" Upon hearing this question from Su Peijiu, Yan Bai immediately tossed a bag of gold ingots onto the counter in front of the shopkeeper, who looked at it with eager eyes.
However, this Orange Skirt lady was not someone to be trifled with; he feared that he might have money but lose his life trying to spend it. Thus, he awkwardly withdrew his gaze.
The lady provocatively glanced at Su Peijiu and let her eyes drift over her belly before smiling and saying, "I wonder whose lady you are? So ungrateful and unaware of my status? You’re just bringing trouble upon your unborn child."
“...Madam really has a strong presence, but I wonder if your father knows about it.” Su Peijiu's eyes held a complex and mocking light. “Living in this world like this, flaunting your power, what face will you have to meet your family when your life comes to an end?”
The woman's face turned pale with anger. “Shut up! Who are you?!”
“It doesn't matter who I am; what's important is that since you are a slave of a fallen nation, you should act like one and not shamelessly come out to embarrass yourself! Qin Ran, if you know what's good for you, hurry back!” Su Peijiu stood up, her expression cold as she finished speaking, then pulled the crying girl towards the counter.
Qin Ran blocked Su Peijiu. “Who are you?! How do you know me?!”
Qin Ran was the sister of Qin Ge. Among all the siblings, only Qin Ran resembled her the most, but Qin Ran's status was not as noble as hers, and her character was somewhat weak. It was unexpected that with the fall of the nation, it had fostered her arrogant and domineering nature.
“Get out of my way.” She didn't even lift her eyes as she walked forward, but unexpectedly, the crazed Qin Ran suddenly pushed her: “What qualifications do you have to lecture me! You wretched woman!”
This woman was more beautiful than her, with a pair of cold Water Eyes that resembled that woman from the Eastern Palace who had once been showered with love! The very woman she hated the most!!!
Su Peijiu lost her balance and was about to fall. The clever girl originally intended to lean towards Su Peijiu but instead stumbled sideways and hit her head. Fortunately, Su Peijiu was supported by Yan Bai, who was startled and broke into a sweat. Touching her stomach, she felt so angry that her face turned pale. She pushed Yan Bai's hand away and stepped forward to slap Qin Ran across the face.
A loud sound echoed as Qin Ran covered her face in disbelief: “You dare hit me!”
“If you dare to appear before me again, I will kill you!” She had lost all desire to buy pastries.
Qin Ran was not someone who would accept humiliation easily; she charged forward towards Su Peijiu. Yan Bai quickly stepped in front of her but was caught off guard and scratched on the face, blood seeping out immediately.
“Where are the Shadow Guards?” Su Peijiu coldly snorted. Three men in black appeared swiftly; two quickly restrained Qin Ran while another subdued one of Qin Ran's eager subordinates.
Su Peijiu slowly walked forward step by step, placing her hand on Qin Ran's face and feeling it. Her tone was chilling: “Do you know that this is the face I least want to see in this lifetime?” It was this very face that forced her to recall those shameful memories.
Gripping her chin: “I don't know which wealthy young master you're clinging to now, but remember to take a detour when you see me in the future! Just the fact that you almost harmed my child earlier is enough for me to make you die several times over!”
She coldly released Qin Ran's chin and then glanced at the Shopkeeper: “This Auspicious Cloud Pavilion is mine now; from now on, any arrogant cats or dogs that show up here should be chased away!”
Yan Bai immediately stepped forward to the Shopkeeper, took out the seal of Nan Xie Tower and two bags of gold ingots, placing them in front of him with a cold tone: "Is this enough?"
The Shopkeeper was already terrified to the point of being dumbfounded upon seeing the Nan Xie Tower seal. Who in business didn't know about Nan Xie Tower? Anyone who offended Nan Xie Tower could forget about continuing their business. He never expected that today he would provoke someone from Nan Xie Tower; he could only blame himself for not recognizing the mountain.
How could he dare to ask for more gold ingots? He took one bag of gold ingots and quickly nodded: "This is enough, this is enough."
"Leave the assistant behind, you go out." Yan Bai glanced at him disdainfully.
The Shopkeeper turned pale and hurriedly walked out.
Qin Ran was being held by two Shadow Guards and was humiliated by Su Peijiu, her face turning white with anger. Since the Fall of the Great Yan, she had never received such humiliation.
"Throw her out." Before Su Peijiu's words fell, a lazy voice came from behind: "Who dares to throw my wife out?"
Su Peijiu was momentarily stunned by the voice, then her lips tightened as she looked at the tall figure coming in against the light. At that moment, time seemed to slow down.
The man wore a long white robe with an Azure jade pendant hanging from his waist. He smiled as if it were a gentle spring breeze in March, holding a pure white Mink in his arms as he walked in.
"Who is so bold as to hold my wife? Quickly let go, don't hurt my lady." As he spoke, he reached out to pat the Shadow Guard's hand. Although it was an extremely light gesture, the Shadow Guard immediately released his grip and stood behind Su Peijiu, clutching his arm in shock.
Freed from restraint, Qin Ran cried as she threw herself into the man's embrace: "They bullied me."
"How did they bully you?" The man's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, containing a playful cold light as he stared directly at Su Peijiu, finally landing on her belly, an instant flash of Azure passing through.
"That bitch slapped me!" Qin Ran wiped her tears with a handkerchief and pointed at Su Peijiu in accusation, crying pitifully like a rain-soaked pear blossom.
"What does my lady want me to do?" The man continued to hold the Mink without reaching out to embrace Qin Ran.
"Let me hit back!" A vicious light flashed in Qin Ran's eyes.
Su Peijiu smiled, her laughter delicate and enchanting, and even five months pregnant, it did not diminish her beauty. Her pink lips curled slightly, and her Water Eyes narrowed playfully: "Do you want to hit me?"
The man paused as he touched Mink's hand, then similarly smirked: "You've provoked my lady."
Su Peijiu's hand, hidden beneath the fox fur, suddenly clenched tightly as she felt a gentle movement in her abdomen. She pressed down on it and looked at the man: "If you dare, come and try!"
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen men in black descended from the air, making the spacious Auspicious Cloud Pavilion feel somewhat crowded.
"Tsk tsk... people from Nan Xie Tower?" The man clicked his tongue, casually stroking Mink in his arms, his tone so nonchalant that it seemed he was not afraid at all.
Of course, he would not be afraid! The renowned Yuan Cang War God, known as Smiling Face Yama, Qi Mo would fear a few people from Nan Xie Tower?
Su Peijiu hid at the back of the crowd, coldly watching the man.
Qin Ran looked at the sudden influx of people, a venomous glint flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"Nan Xie Tower... Nan Xie Tower... Not long ago, I captured someone from Nan Xie Tower on that mountain. Does this count as enemies not meeting face to face?" Qi Mo said lightly, but his gaze grew colder when it landed on Su Peijiu's rounded belly.
Mountain... Nan Xie Tower... army...
These words flashed repeatedly in Su Peijiu's mind. She suddenly bit her lower lip; what a Qi Mo!!! He actually pulled this trick on her!
That side was hiding at least one hundred thousand Army troops! She never expected that all those years of nurturing were for someone else's benefit! Fifty thousand of those troops originally belonged to Yuan Cang; they had fought alongside Qi Mo before. Now, at such a crucial moment for winning hearts, Qi Mo appeared!
If he discovered her Unintentional involvement, she would never believe it!
Due to her overwhelming anger, she felt a sweet taste in her throat but paid no mind to it. Gritting her teeth, she said to him: "What a clever scheme; this Master of the Building admires it!"
"It can't compare to the schemes of the Master of the Building back in the day. That beauty trap almost made me believe it was true," Qi Mo replied with a smirk.
"How do you plan to handle today's matter?" Su Peijiu did not want to bring up old grievances with him.
"You hit my wife. Apologize and leave, and I won't make things difficult for you."
Apologize...
Why should she?
Her hand rested on her abdomen, feeling a sense of desolation. The father of her child was helping another woman.
Baby, as long as you have your mother...
"What if I don't?" She smiled coldly, the bright red fox fur accentuating her face, making it even more translucent.
It seemed Ji Yu had taken good care of her; the two of them were even expecting a child! But Ge'er, do you not remember? In this lifetime, I Qi Mo belong to myself; life and death must belong to me Qi Mo!
Suppressing the madness in her eyes, he smiled lightly: "Just leave one life behind."
