Chapter 43 (1/2)

Returning to Parental Home [4]

Previously:

Qian DuoDuo faintly smiled. It’s just that the bottom of her eyes flashed over a trace of coldness. She bent her back and helped the housekeeper up from the ground: “Pa, pa—”2 slaps were heard. She patted his swollen face. She opened her mouth, feeling extremely distressed and affected:

“It probably hurts… Look, it’s so swollen that it can be wrapped into a steamed bun… However, housekeeper, Ben Wangfei didn’t beat you up. Ben WangFei is saving you. You say, if this slap actually came on my face, what was slapped would be the royal family’s face… How many heads do you think will be chopped ah?”

Not for the sake of the monk but for that of the Buddha.[1] No matter what, she is still the third WangFei. Although she is a counterfeit and a fake one, she still can’t be casually bullied.

The housekeeper’s legs had turned soft. His eyes seemed to have seen stars and felt like one of his tooth was knocked off. It had rung for a couple seconds. The corner of his mouth still had traces of blood. But Qian DuoDuo’s words, he had not dared to go against it. In the end, he clenched his teeth and returned to Qian Zheng Kuan’s side without a second thought.

“Good, very good! You have an imposing attitude,” Qian Zheng Kuan said as he harshly glared at Qian DuoDuo. He hadn’t believed that he couldn’t discipline his own daughter. He immediately raged: “Servants, tie up this small bastard. Serve her with the family punishments![2]”

Once the Lord had announced this, Qian prefecture’s servants instantly swarmed up towards her. However before they reached her, a slender figure quickly rushed from the door and protected Qian DuoDuo in the crook of her arm.

“Lord ah, Duo ‘er is still a child. Don’t lower yourself to her level. Please don’t use the family punishment ah…”

Qian DuoDuo, at the start, was actually frightened. Out of the air, an aunt[3] had appeared. Besides that, she had hugged Qian DuoDuo, her tears and nasal mucus fell down her face. When Qian DuoDuo finally got out of her trance, she looked clearly to see the person in front of her was a woman. Her face was kind and loving with as she said that in a sobbing tone

The woman kneeled on the ground, begging Qian Zheng Kuan. She saw his face was gloomy and solemn, therefore she immediately turned around to pull on Qian DuoDuo’s hand: “Duo ‘er, listen to mother’s words. Quickly apologize to your father. Mother is here, don’t be afraid…”

Qian DuoDuo shockingly looked at the woman only to see her lips trembling. Her face was also pale white. Even though her face showed that she was terrified, she desperately protected Qian DuoDuo in her arms, alike a mother chicken protecting her baby chicken.

As it turned out, she was this body’s mother. No wonder when she saw her at first glance, Qian DuoDuo felt an indescribable familiar feeling.

However, this nominally first wife, the first lady definitely had been bullied often by Qian Zheng Kuan’s concubine. Otherwise how come she had acted so lowly?
