Chapter 105: Clouds of Suspicion – The Death of Big Mouth Li!
At Zhang Family’s Mansion.
Zhang Shixin carefully tidied up his appearance from head to toe.
Looking at the half-covered hickey on the base of his neck, he couldn’t help but think of the enchanting little demon from last night. The thought of her involuntarily lifted his spirits.
Outside the hall, his attendant Xiao Shitou hurriedly jogged in.
“Old Master, the carriage is ready, and we can leave at any time.”
“Good! Xiao Shitou, how do I look in these clothes?” Zhang Shixin stretched out his arms and proudly turned around in a circle.
Witty Xiao Shitou knew exactly what his Old Master had in mind.
“Old Master, your appearance is like a jade tree exposed to the wind, with an impressive appearance and a face that rivals Pan An. This time, you will undoubtedly make the young wife from the Liu Family swoon under your power, surrendering to you as you pluck that bright flower…”
“Haha!… You sure know how to talk, kid. Let’s go!”
Zhang Shixin laughed loudly, then suddenly stopped and picked up a folding fan. He swung it leisurely in his hand while taking large, confident strides toward the outside, saying: “Let’s go! We’re leaving the manor!”
“Yes, Old Master.”
Xiao Shitou hurriedly followed.
As the two walked one before the other, heading toward the gate of the mansion, Zhang Shixin couldn’t help but be relieved. It seemed he wouldn’t meet that despicable person today.
“Old Master Businessman, where are you going today?”
Suddenly, a delicate female voice came from behind.
The voice made Zhang Shixin’s entire body shudder. He exchanged bitter glances with Xiao Shitou before turning to face the person who called him.
In the blink of an eye, a pleasing smile had appeared on his face: “Madam, you have a weak constitution. Why don’t you rest in the inner courtyard instead of coming out here and catching a cold? That would really be distressing.”
“Old Master Businessman, have you forgotten? It’s July now. The weather outside is nice and refreshing. Naturally, I want to come out and enjoy the fresh air, stroll around the streets, and relax!” Madam Zhang Shen Qiu replied with a charming smile.
Zhang Shixin’s smile disappeared, and he desperately worried if the woman had found something out.
He then quickly stepped forward and supported Shen Qiu’s waist, saying: “Madam, it’s the July sun, and it’s strong and poisonous. If it harms your delicate skin, it will be my sin! Please listen and let your maids help you back to your room to rest.”
“Old Master, I want to accompany you on your journey outside. I can enjoy the beautiful scenery surrounding us. With you by my side, I’m not afraid of a little sunlight.”
Shen Qiu spoke in a delicate tone: “Old Master, with your outstanding appearance, I can’t be sure that you won’t be captivated by some enchantress from the Yihong Courtyard such as Shan Shan or Sisi, and then I’ll have lost such a wonderful husband.”
Trying to get rid of Shen Qiu? Hmph! That won’t be so easy!
Zhang Shixin’s eyebrows twitched!
Could it be that the despicable woman really knew everything?
