I use my daughter's body to cut down the rivers and lakes

Chapter 252 Causing Trouble
While drinking tea, Liu Qi watched Xu Xinning and Xu Xianzheng, two little rascals, chasing each other around the room.

She was a quiet person, but at this moment the room was filled with the noisy sounds of two children, and she felt an indescribable tranquility.

"How do you feel about this place?" Xu Fangfei's voice came to my ears, "Although Qingjiang Prefecture is not as wealthy as the capital, it is a rare quiet place."

Liu Qi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xu Fangfei looking at him with a smile. Their eyes met and Xu Fangfei's eyes visibly brightened.

The word "quiet" that Xu Fangfei had just mentioned suddenly flashed through Liu Qi's mind, and the sense of tranquility that had accumulated in his heart disappeared in an instant.

There is no truly peaceful place in the world.

If you don't enter the sea of ​​suffering, how can you see the undercurrents surging beneath the water?

Seeing Liu Qi remained silent, Xu Fangfei smiled with relief and said, "It's been a long time since I saw Third Aunt smile so happily."

Then she paused for a moment, turned her head and stared at Liu Qi's profile, and said solemnly: "You were abducted that year, not because Third Aunt and the others failed to take good care of you. I think you should be able to understand this..."

Liu Qi understood the meaning behind Xu Fangfei's words, so he interrupted her and said, "I don't blame them in my heart, but... I just need some time to adapt to my current life."

Xu Fangfei thought that Liu Qi acted so indifferent in front of her family because she still had a knot in her heart about the abduction she suffered that year and resented her family for not taking good care of her.

Xu Fangfei was not the only one who thought so. Liu Qi guessed that there were probably many people in the mansion who had this idea.

Liu Qi's eyes flashed with helplessness, and then he changed the subject: "What is the current situation in Beijing?"

Seeing Liu Qi mention the capital city, Xu Fangfei's eyes moved slightly, and then she replied softly: "On the day of the change in the palace, I was sent out of the capital city by the Marquis. After that, I learned about the relevant situation in the capital city from the letters from the Marquis and your brother-in-law."

"Oh, right." Xu Fangfei suddenly thought of something, "Ruolan also went to Sihai Academy. She wrote to say that she met Xiangxiang's family there."

Xu Fangfei looked hesitant, and then continued, "Ruolan wrote back saying that Lord Liu and Madam Liu have divorced. I heard... it was Madam Liu who took the initiative to bring it up."

She sighed softly, "Poor Xiangxiang, she's caught in the middle."

It was Zhou who proposed the divorce on her own initiative. Liu Qi actually felt a little admiration for Zhou. He didn't expect that this seemingly stupid woman could make such a wise move.

Liu Qi had seen it when they were at Liu Mansion, there was no affection between these two people at all.

From the beginning to the end, Zhou was attracted by Liu Zongxun's good looks, and Liu Zongxun needed Zhou's help to get close to the general.

The union between the two was originally a consensual plan, but it was a pity that Zhou did not expect that Liu Zongxun would be so crazy as to disregard the life and death of their daughter Liu Xiangxiang for his so-called righteousness.

As expected, just like studying and practicing martial arts, if the things you pursue are too many and too far away, your human nature will be left behind little by little.

In this way, it seems that she, Liu Qi, has no right to criticize what Liu Zongxun did.

It's nothing more than everyone doing their own thing and accepting the consequences voluntarily!

"Speaking of which, Weixian will be coming to Qingjiang Mansion soon!" Xu Fangfei's eyes suddenly lit up, and then the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she looked at Liu Qi meaningfully.

Fang Weixian, the second son of the Anlehou family.

Liu Qi caught a glimpse of the smile on Xu Fangfei's lips, and then he remembered that he and this person seemed to have had a "past" when they were in the capital!
how?

Are you planning to get married right after returning to the Xu family?
She almost forgot what Fang Weixian looked like. She vaguely remembered that she had met him several times and even fought with him once...

As for other details, Liu Qi had no recollection of them at all.

After all, he was just an inferior opponent, and Liu Qi was too lazy to bother to understand him.

Xu Fangfei saw that Liu Qi looked calm and had no interest in Fang Weixian, and the disappointment in her heart disappeared in an instant.

She just had a sudden inspiration when she thought that Fang Weixian was about to take up the post in Qingjiang Prefecture. In addition, she had discussed marriage with Fang Fu, who was then a young lady of the Liu family, when she was in the capital, so an idea suddenly popped up in her mind.

After all, he is my husband's younger brother, and I know his character and family background very well. He is a rare and good match for me.

But then she thought that her younger sister had just returned home, so there was no need to rush into her marriage. What's more, her uncle and aunt were reluctant to marry her younger sister off so soon, so Xu Fangfei put the matter aside for the time being.

"Wa wah wah..." Suddenly a miserable howl was heard.

The only two adults left in the room, Liu Qi and Xu Fangfei, looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xu Xinning riding on Xu Xianzheng's head, waving his little fists and hitting Xu Xianzheng's butt like raining punches.

Although Xu Xianzheng is a boy, he is two years younger than Xu Xinning. At this moment, he was being ridden on the ground and unable to move. He felt waves of pain in his buttocks and started to howl at the top of his lungs.

Xu Fangfei didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she saw this, but she also looked like it was commonplace and quickly stepped forward and picked up both of them, one in each hand.

The two children's feet were hanging in the air, but they kept kicking each other, until Xu Fangfei couldn't bear it anymore and slapped one of them on the head, and then they calmed down.

Children's tempers come and go quickly. The two of them squatted aside for a while with their heads in their arms, and soon they were talking and laughing and playing together again.

"Now I understand why my mother cried and refused to live at home." Xu Fangfei said helplessly as she looked at the two children.

Children of this age are hated by everyone, and since they have their elders to help them strengthen their muscles and bones since childhood, they have much more energy than children from ordinary families.

Da da da……

Suddenly, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door, and a maid ran in. When she saw Xu Fangfei standing there, she quickly bent over and said, "Miss, it's bad! There's a fight in the front yard!"

Xu Fangfei's face turned serious: "Tell me what happened. Who fought with whom?"

The maid cautiously glanced at Liu Qi who was sitting not far behind Xu Fangfei, and then whispered, "It was the friend that the young lady brought back who beat up the young master from the Nan Mansion!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qi immediately raised his eyes and looked at the maid, then slowly stood up and asked, "Is it Nineteen?"

The maid seemed to sense Liu Qi's intimidating aura, so she replied with a trembling voice: "It's Miss Nineteen."

Liu Qi walked out the door before the maid finished speaking: "I'll go take a look."

When Liu Qi asked Liu Shijiu to move back to the Xu family, she had already been told by Liu Qi that there was no need to make a fuss over trivial matters like someone looking at her a few more times.

When Liu Qi heard the news, her first reaction was not that Liu Jiujiu was the cause of the trouble. Although Liu Jiujiu was cruel and tyrannical, there was one thing she would never disobey if she had solemnly told him to do so.

This has nothing to do with whether the relationship between the two is close or not. It is purely a habit developed after more than ten years of training at Xiliu Villa.

Watching Liu Qi walk away in big strides, Xu Fangfei secretly said something was not right, and then followed Liu Qi's steps, while waving to the maid who had just come to report to follow her.

"What's going on? Why is Qingzhuo here today?" Xu Fangfei asked in a deep voice.

The maidservant could only follow closely behind him and replied respectfully, "I don't know either, but just now it seemed that the servant from the eldest young master's side brought in the young master of the Nan Mansion and his group."

"They..." Xu Fangfei frowned, "Didn't Qingzhuo come here alone?"

The maid nodded and said, "There is also the nephew of Prefect Feng and the son of the Wu garrison commander."

Xu Fangfei frowned even deeper. Although she married and moved to the capital, she knew that the two men mentioned by the maid were both famous playboys in Qingjiang Prefecture.

In addition, there is Xu Qingzhuo, the only legitimate grandson of Xu Shaoning, the head of the Xu family in Nanfu. How come these three of them came to his house together today as if they had made an appointment!

When Liu Qi came to the front yard, he saw two figures moving among the flashes of swords and sabers in the spacious courtyard. It turned out to be Liu Nineteen who was fighting with someone.

The man who was fighting with Liu Nineteen was a middle-aged man with a tall stature, a dark face and no beard. He held a broad-bladed long sword tightly in both hands and danced with great vigor.

when!when!when!
Just when Liu Qi stopped, Liu Shijiu fought three swords with the dark-skinned middle-aged man, and both of them trembled.

But it was obvious that the opponent was stronger. Liu Shijiu slid backwards rapidly, and only stopped retreating after sliding nearly ten steps!
"Mr. Ji, Miss Nineteen, what happened today was purely a misunderstanding. I think it's better for us to just leave it at that!" Seeing the two of them separate, Xu Yonghuan, who was standing on the steps of the lobby, hurried down and bowed to the middle-aged man holding the broad blade.

"Uncle Ji, don't let her go!" Before Xu Yonghuan finished speaking, a hysterical voice suddenly rang out, "Quickly capture this witch!"

Liu Qi looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man in brocade robes covering his face and staring at Liu Shijiu with eyes full of resentment.

Through the gaps between his fingers, clear red handprints could be vaguely seen on his face.

Xu Yonghuan's face changed slightly when he heard this, and then his eyes swept past the young man who was covering his face and fell on the other person beside him.

"Qing Zhuo, since we are both from the Xu family, please don't cause any more trouble!"

Xu Qingzhuo's face darkened when he heard this, and he moved just like the young man next to him, covering half of his face with his hand. Bloody handprints could be seen on his face between his fingers.

At this moment, another head popped out from behind the two men: "Xu Yonghuan, if you don't hand over this witch today, I will make sure that your entire mansion will not be at peace!"

This person did not cover his face with his hands, but the blood-red handprints on his face were clearly displayed.

Liu Qi only took a glance and knew that the handprints on the faces of these three people were the work of Liu Nineteen.

When Xu Yonghuan heard this, anger instantly rose in his eyes. No matter how good his temper was, no one could bear to have his entire family threatened in front of him!
He glanced around and suddenly caught a glimpse of Liu Qi. His expression immediately froze and he said in a deep voice, "Master Zhang, please go back. This is the Xu Mansion and it is not the turn of outsiders to act so presumptuously here!"

The young man called Master Zhang was stunned at first, then his expression changed.

Xu Qingzhuo, who was standing by, heard what Xu Yonghuan said and immediately said with a gloomy face, "Second Uncle Huan, could it be that you didn't recognize Master Zhang?"

Zhang Xin is the nephew of prefect Feng Qun. Because Feng Qun has no children, Mrs. Feng took her nephew Zhang Xin to live with her. Everyone knows that the prefect treats Zhang Xin as his own son and loves him very much!

The other young man in gorgeous robes was Wu Qingyun, the son of Wu Lingfeng, the garrison commander of Qingjiang Prefecture.

As a scholar, Xu Yonghuan naturally had a bit of pride in his heart. Seeing Liu Qi present at this moment, he thought of the rumors about his niece in the martial arts world, so he threw his sleeves and snorted coldly: "You are speaking rudely in broad daylight in Xu's house. This Nineteenth Miss only slapped the three of you. She is already kind-hearted. How dare you continue to act so presumptuous here? You are simply disrespecting the law!"

The three men's faces suddenly changed when they heard this, as if they didn't expect Xu Yonghuan to dare to accuse them in public!

The middle-aged man holding the sword, who had been silent for a while, saw that the situation was not good, so he advised: "Mr. Xu, please say less."

Then he withdrew one hand, holding the sword in one hand and lowering it to his side, and then his eyes fell on Liu Nineteen: "The girl is so young but her martial arts are so good, but her attack is a little too vicious."

"Hmph!" The pale-faced Liu Nineteen snorted coldly with disdain.

When she returned home today, she happened to run into Xu Qingzhuo and his two companions. Seeing her outstanding appearance, the three of them teased her with a few words.

Who the hell is Liu Nineteen? How could she swallow such humiliation? She just went up and slapped each of them. Fortunately, she remembered Liu Qi's teachings in her heart and did not hit them harder!

Just watch, I can bear it for now!
Since he spoke, I can't kill him, but it should be okay to give him a slap in the face!
However, one of the three, Master Wu Qingyun, had recently raped the daughter of a martial arts school owner. His father, Wu Shoubei, was worried that the people in the martial arts school would seek revenge on him privately, so he hired an expert to protect his beloved son.

This master is Mr. Ji who just fought with Liu Shijiu.

This man's name is Ji Chang, and he is a swordsman of some fame. Because he had received favors from the Wu family, he was willing to serve as Wu Qingyun's bodyguard.

Otherwise, how could Wu Lingfeng, a mere guard, command Ji Chang, a top-notch master?

Ji Chang naturally knew what kind of person Wu Qingyun was, and he also knew that today's incident was all caused by the rude remarks made by these three people.

So his eyes moved slightly as if he was thinking deeply, and then he said in a deep voice: "For the sake of Principal Xu, you might as well apologize, and this matter ends here."

As he spoke, he raised his head slightly and said in a serious tone: "I hope you will think twice before you act."

"No!" As soon as Ji Chang finished speaking, Wu Lingfeng behind him jumped up and shouted, "We can't just let it go like this, Mr. Ji, quickly take down this bitch!"

rustling...

Ji Chang frowned slightly when he heard the voice. Suddenly, he heard a very subtle sound of footsteps, and then he saw a graceful figure coming towards him.

Liu Qi stopped and stood between Ji Chang and Liu Shijiu.

She turned her face sideways to Ji Chang who was holding the sword, and at the same time, her eyes glanced at the three useless guys not far behind him.

Seeing Liu Qi appear, Liu Nineteen, whose face was slightly pale, snorted coldly, then sheathed his sword, and his face immediately changed to an expression of watching a good show.

"I think Mr. Ji should listen to the young master just now." Liu Qi slowly turned his head and raised his cold eyes, "Of course, this matter cannot be let go like this!"
