No taboos in the world

Chapter 103 Madam Respect Yourself
a paragraph.

Three women, three ideas, three expressions.

Soon, Mu Wanqing looked at Qin Hongmian first: "Master, you...you are my mother?"

Qin Hongmian had an unpleasant look on her face. She neither said a word nor nodded or shook her head.

Li Qingluo's eyes turned red, and she gnashed her teeth: "You and Duan Lang! Riding on the rivers and lakes? What is your relationship?"

Qin Hongmian raised his head and sneered: "What do you think our relationship is?" He paused, glanced at Hong Chen, and raised the corner of his mouth: "What is your relationship with this person? Excuse me, in what capacity are you questioning me now?"

Li Qingluo was startled and looked towards Hong Chen suddenly.

Hong Chen leaned against the back of the chair with his hands folded, pursed his lips, smiled faintly, and said nothing.

Li Qingluo felt panicky for no reason. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat and her face instantly turned red. She opened her mouth to speak, but didn't know what she should or could say.

Qin Hongmian suddenly became smart, and continued to say to Hong Chen with a smile: "It seems that you don't know that before marrying Mr. Wang, Mrs. Wang was also a vixen who seduced Duan Lang..."

Bang!
Li Qingluo slammed the table and shouted, "Shut up!"

Qin Hongmian was not surprised at all. Instead, she seized on this point and continued to attack: "What? You dare not admit it? Then what about the camellia flowers from Yunnan that are everywhere in your villa? You look at them all the time every day. Are you also missing the past with Duan Lang..."

"Shut up!" Li Qingluo grabbed the inkstone on the table and threw it at Qin Hongmian.

Qin Hongmian dodged it easily by lowering her head, but the ink still splashed on her face.

Li Qingluo leaned on the table, breathing heavily, and her face turned from red to pale.

Qin Hongmian narrowed her eyes and added fuel to the fire, "Haha, I think your daughter is also Duan Lang's, right? You married a man named Wang, and he died not long after the marriage." She turned her eyes and said, "This young master, you better be careful."

"You! You..." Li Qingluo pointed at Qin Hongmian, her arms trembling constantly and her body shaking slightly. She was so angry that she couldn't speak for a while.

A few breaths of silence.

"Okay, Miss Qin, why do you have to humiliate and make things difficult for Madam Wang? I have no relationship with her. If I have to say I do, it is just a business partnership." Hong Chen finally spoke, lifting up two books on the table and shaking them.

Li Qingluo turned her head, a hint of surprise flashing across her eyes.

Hong Chen stood up, smiling warmly, and extended his hand, "Madam Wang, you don't look very well. Please sit down and rest for a while."

Li Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and nodded, reaching out to hold Hong Chen's wrist.

Unexpectedly, Hong Chen suddenly withdrew his hand as if he had received an electric shock, and she immediately missed it. Fortunately, she held the armrest of the chair and did not fall. Looking up, she saw that Hong Chen's smile had not changed at all: "Madam Wang, please be careful."

Li Qingluo looked at him blankly.

"Son..."

"Please take a seat, Madam Wang."

Li Qingluo sat down silently with a dull look in her eyes.

How could Qin Hongmian miss such an opportunity? She sneered again: "Haha, this young master doesn't seem to like it either..."

"Just shut up." Hong Chen turned his head and said in a calm voice, but a sudden glance made Qin Hongmian dare not continue speaking.

He took a step forward and came in front of Qin Hongmian.

Hong Chen: "Mrs. Wang and I have cooperated. If you want to kill her, you must at least have a reasonable reason."

"Okay, she shamelessly seduced my Duan Lang, does that count as a reason?"

Hong Chen shook his head: "No evidence. Besides, don't you and Duan Zhengchun have children?"

Qin Hongmian said angrily: "So what if I have a child? He is not with me!"

After these words were spoken, Mu Wanqing finally understood and her body trembled.

Hong Chen frowned: "Duan Zhengchun is not with you, nor with Madam Wang? Then where is he?"

"Of course he is in Dali..." As soon as Qin Hongmian said this, her expression froze, as if she had finally discovered her blind spot.

Hong Chen looked into her eyes, smiling, "So, Prince Duan has a princess, and you are all his former women, so why don't you go find him? I really don't understand, you are both abandoned women, but you neither ask Duan Zhengchun for an explanation nor seek revenge from him, and you keep calling him Duan Lang Duan Lang. What kind of drug did Prince Duan give you? It seems I have to ask him later."

Looking at his smiling face, Qin Hongmian seemed to suddenly recall something in her daze. She frowned and finally caught a glimpse of inspiration. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "Are you the little monk with long hair back then?!"

"Miss Qin, it took you so long to remember this. It really makes me embarrassed." Hong Chen said with a smile.

"Monk?!" Li Qingluo suddenly came alive and stared at Hong Chen: "Are you a monk?"

Seeing this, Qin Hongmian couldn't help but sneer again: "Whether he is a monk or not, does it have anything to do with you?"

Li Qingluo was speechless and did not even retort.

"Don't be anxious, he is not a real monk, he is just a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple." Qin Hongmian didn't bother to mock her halfway through her words, but looked at Hong Chen in amazement.

“The Shaolin Temple’s flying dragon scene that shocked the world was witnessed by more than one or two people. Even the imperial court paid attention to it. Fortunately, the Shaolin monks later said that it was the reincarnation of the Buddhist guardian dragon, which was completely different from a real dragon. This dispelled the imperial court’s fears. However, according to private rumors, Shaolin still paid a huge price to get those corrupt officials to speak for them in front of the emperor.

This reincarnated celestial dragon is of the same generation as the contemporary Shaolin abbot Xuanci, and his Buddhist name is Xuanchen! When I first heard about this, I felt that it sounded familiar, but I didn't expect that we would actually meet.

Your Dragon Capturing Skill is condensed and does not disperse. I am afraid that you have already reached the pinnacle. I cannot compete with you even if I exert my full strength. I think your internal strength is also terrifyingly deep. No wonder Shaolin Temple is so willing to publicize it at all costs. I think it won’t be long before the whole world will know that there is another top master like you in the world. "

Hong Chen's face was calm and his voice was calm: "Miss Qin, you are too kind. I am not Shaolin Xuanchen now, I am just a businessman named Hong Chen."

Qin Hongmian frowned slightly: "This name...why do I feel like I've heard it somewhere before?"

"Mother...Master, drunk in the world." Mu Wanqing reminded.

"Yes! I have heard of Zui Hongchen for a long time, but after entering Gusu City, I have heard the name Hongchen more than once. So you are the boss of Zui Hongchen. So..." She glanced at Li Qingluo again, "Are you really discussing business?"

"What else?" Hong Chen asked. Qin Hongmian looked at Li Qingluo's slightly pale face and gave Hong Chen a weird smile.

Hong Chen: "We are barely acquaintances, you'd better not force me to slap you."

Qin Hongmian's eyes twitched and she immediately swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Then, Hong Chen walked slowly in the study room with his hands behind his back, and said, "I didn't expect that the notorious Shura Knife would still miss the man after being abandoned by him, and even took the initiative to deal with his troubles outside. I think Miss Qin is not suitable for the nickname 'Shura Knife', so why not change her name to 'Compassion Knife' from now on."

The Compassionate Sword is one of the 72 Shaolin Kung Fu skills. The moves are gentle and focused on defense rather than attack. There is no killing move in the whole set of sword techniques, hence the name: Compassion.

This was of course a mockery, and Qin Hongmian's face turned pale when she heard it.

"You...don't talk about my mother like that." Mu Wanqing spoke, but she didn't scold her. Instead, her voice was soft, gentle, and pleasant.

Hong Chen and Qin Hongmian looked at them in astonishment. Mu Wanqing was startled and immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.

Hong Chen shook his head and said, "Okay, what happened tonight was indeed an assassination, but in my opinion, it was more of an inexplicable tit-for-tat between the two victims. Miss Qin, you should go find what you want immediately. Besides, when has Madam Wang's existence ever really stopped you? If I understand correctly, she hasn't left Mantuo Villa for many years, right?"

Qin Hongmian felt even more uncomfortable after hearing this.

Li Qingluo murmured in a low voice: "The victim..."

"Go ahead, next time...there won't be a next time." Hong Chen waved his hand.

Qin Hongmian had a complicated expression. She glanced at Li Qingluo and saw that she had no reaction. She bit her lip and felt that her trip was really stupid. So, she turned around and supported Mu Wanqing, saying, "Thank you, Master Hong, for your guidance. I also want to thank you for not killing me. I thank you here. If you want to kill someone in the future but it is not convenient for you to do it, please write to me." After giving an address, she turned around and left with Mu Wanqing.

After turning her back, Mu Wanqing quietly looked back at him several times, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

After a while, the study became completely quiet.

Li Qingluo raised her head slowly, her sharp eyes filled with fear, grievance and a hint of pleading.

"Son..."

"Madam Wang, you were frightened tonight. Let's talk about business tomorrow morning. You should go back and rest as soon as possible. I'll take my leave now." After saying this, he walked towards the door without any hesitation.

The tables and chairs behind me moved, and footsteps approached quickly.

Without looking back, Hong Chen moved sideways to avoid the figure.

Looking at her leaning against the door with a look of doubt and shock, Hong Chen opened the other half of the door, took a step forward, left a word, and left without looking back.

"Ma'am, respect yourself."

Back to the residence.

A-Bi was still waiting at the door.

"Didn't I tell you to go and rest first?"

Ah Bi smiled and said, "Sir, I am your maid, so of course I have to wait for you to come back. Come in quickly, I will get you some water."

After washing up, Hong Chen suddenly asked, "Abi, can you sew a sachet for me?"

A-Bi was startled, her pretty face slightly red, her head slightly lowered: "Sir, what do you want the sachet for?"

“It’s used to hold melon seeds.”

"what?"

"I just watched a great show, but unfortunately there were no melon seeds or drinks, so it was a lot less fun. Please help me urge the jade craftsman to make my gourd as soon as possible and send it to me. I can give you more money."

Ah Bi replied in a daze: "Oh, yes, sir, but the thing that holds things is called a purse."

"This... is pretty much the same, give me one."

The next day.

When the two met again, it was as if what happened last night had never happened.

Hong Chen took out the small jade gourd and put it on the table: "Madam Wang, Mantuo Villa is indeed a very good partner. Give this Huzhou gourd to you, Madam Wang. Someone will come to sign a contract with you tomorrow at the latest. From now on, the management of Zui Hongchen in Huzhou will be handed over to you, Madam Wang."

Li Qingluo had no expression on her face and nodded slightly: "Thank you, Master Hong, for your trust."

"Now that the matter is settled, I will not bother you any more. Goodbye!"

"Okay, Sir, take care."

Hong Chen stood up and nodded to Wang Yuyan beside him. The little girl was stunned for a moment and nodded shyly.

After he and A-Bi left, Wang Yuyan immediately asked, "Mom, why did I feel that the atmosphere just now seemed weird?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingluo's hand holding the Huzhou gourd froze instantly, and the other hand hidden in the sleeve had been clenched into a fist at some point, with the joints already turning white.

She suppressed the anger in her chest and whispered, "What's strange about that?"

"I don't know either, I just feel something is wrong." Wang Yuyan blinked innocently.

"I think you haven't woken up yet and you're hallucinating." Li Qingluo stood up, turned around and went back to the attic.

Looking out over Lake Taihu, there is only one lonely boat on the vast water.

Her eyes were slightly red and she bit her cherry lips lightly. The Huzhou gourd that she had wanted before was pressed against her chest, but she was not as excited as she had imagined.

"Son..."
