Fire Captain

"Ah?" This was the second time that Qian Kui was speechless in such a short time. It seemed that Young Master Xun inherited the way of speaking from Madam Xun. The grandfather and grandson didn't want anyone to speak anymore.

Zhu Yuchan asked, "Does Madam Tai know my Ah Xun?"

Lady Xun nodded and said, "Yes! I came here today especially for her."

Qian Kui and Zhu Yuchan still don't know about the attack on Xun Taijun's grandson yesterday. First, Qian Xun just treated yesterday's incident as an ordinary roadside injustice. She doesn't know how many such things she has to do every month, big and small, so there is nothing to say. Second, she didn't know that she saved the General Jingguo Mansion, and thought it was just an ordinary grandparents and grandchildren. As for Qian Chong, he was busy reporting to Qian Kui that the person he fought with was a woman named Poppy, who had a feud with Qian Kui before, and didn't pay attention to Xun Taijun's grandson, which caught Xun Taijun off guard.

Qian Kui hurriedly asked, "Could it be that my daughter has offended the Majesty in some way?"

Madam Xun said, "That's not the case. I came here to discuss with Master Qian about the marriage between your daughter and our Zhao'er. What do you think, Master Qian?"

Qian Kui and Zhu Yuchan were both surprised. They looked at each other and wanted to refuse but didn't know how to say it. Suddenly, they heard a "ouch" from outside. Qian Chong hurriedly shouted, "Who is it?" and walked out quickly to check.

After going out, he happened to see the back of a person running away. However, even if he only saw the back, Qian Chong could recognize that this person was Chihiro. He shook his head helplessly and returned to the hall.

Bai Ziyang had already guessed that the person eavesdropping outside the door just now would be Chihiro. Given Chihiro's personality, it would be strange if she didn't come to eavesdrop after hearing such a loud noise.

Lady Xun didn't care about what just happened, and continued, "Let's be frank. The Xun family has been officials for generations, so they should marry a daughter of an official family who is well-matched. However, your daughter is as capable as a man, which suits my temperament. In addition, she is the disciple of the leader of the world's largest gang, so she is barely worthy of the title of General Jingguo of the Xun family... So I won't care so much..."

As Lady Xun was speaking, a servant came in serving tea. As soon as the servant came in, Bai Ziyang discovered that the servant was Qianxun in disguise. What's more, no other servant knew how to burn incense.

Qian Kui and Zhu Yuchan should have been the first ones to discover it, but one was concentrating on listening to Lady Xun's speech, and the other was absent-mindedly thinking about how to politely reject the marriage on behalf of his daughter, and neither of them noticed Qianxun sneaking in.

Bai Ziyang watched Qianxun carry the teacup to Xun Rizhao and deliberately spill the tea on him. Then he pretended to be panicked and shouted, "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, don't be angry, I'll help you clean it up."

Qian Kui was just trying to apologize to Lady Xun with a smile, feeling unhappy. When he heard the noise over here, he turned around and shouted, "What's going on?" After he said that, he saw Qianxun's eyes widened.

Zhu Yuchan was also staring at Qianxun in amazement, not knowing what to say. Qianchong, who had his back to her, walked up to her and asked, "How do you do things...ah?!..." Qianxun turned around and made a look at Qianchong, who was about to say something but swallowed it back.

Qianxun immediately turned around and pretended to whisper to Xun Rizhao: "Sir, I really didn't mean it. Let me wipe it for you, otherwise our master will blame me and chop off my head..."

Upon hearing this, Xun Rizhao immediately said seriously: "Ah? No way, I'm going to chop off your head for such a small thing?" Because he was just scared by Taohua yesterday, when he heard Qianxun say this today, Xun Rizhao immediately believed it.

Qianxun laughed secretly until her stomach hurt, but she pretended to be sad and said, "Yes, my brother died like this last year..."

Qianxun came here deliberately to play tricks on Xun Rizhao, and these words were meant for him to hear. Even though it seemed like she was speaking in a very low voice, in fact everyone present could hear it. Seeing Qianxun talking nonsense, Zhu Yuchan immediately wanted to stop Qianxun. Seeing this, Qiankui didn't want to be exposed in front of Lady Xun, so he coughed lightly. Seeing this, Zhu Yuchan had to swallow back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Qian Kui said to Qian Xun: "There is nothing for you to do here, go down."

Qianxun achieved her goal, and immediately threw her sleeves and said exaggeratedly: "Yes, I'll take my leave."

Only Xun Rizhao was left looking at Qianxun and said kindly: "Master Qian, this young man didn't mean it, please don't chop off his head!"

Chihiro stepped back, a little dumbfounded. She didn't expect that someone would believe what she said casually?

After hearing what Xun Rizhao said, Qian Kui was stunned for a moment and glanced at Lady Xun. Maybe he didn't expect Xun Rizhao to be so "naive". When he first met and heard what Xun Rizhao said, he thought he was ruthless and superior. Now it seems... forget it. Facts have proved that he can also be wrong sometimes... He was speechless and could only cover it up with an awkward laugh: "Haha... Master Xun really loves to joke... I never kill anyone..."

But who knew that Xun Rizhao immediately thought of what Taohua said yesterday when he saw this. The brighter the Smiling Yama smiled, the more he wanted to kill people... He hurriedly said in a panic: "Don't laugh at me!"

Xun Taijun didn't take the farce seriously. She just thought that Qianjiazhuang was not strict. However, seeing that Xun Rizhao was getting more and more exposed, she shouted, "Zhao'er, stop talking nonsense!"

Xun Rizhao heard this and ran to Xun Taijun with a wronged look on his face and whispered, "Didn't you say that when the Smiling Yama smiles the happiest, it means he wants to kill someone..."

At that time, Bai Ziyang really wanted to remind Xun Rizhao that next time he could not speak in front of that person, and could he speak in a lower voice. Master Xun's voice was so loud that even the people next door could hear it, not to mention Qian Kui who was sitting next to Madam Xun.

Bai Ziyang was trying so hard to hold back his laughter that his stomach ached. He had no choice but to cover his mouth and cough twice, otherwise he really couldn't hold it in anymore... Chihiro was even more so. She couldn't bear it any longer and covered her face with her sleeves. She couldn't stand it any longer and turned around and ran away.

Others may not speak, but Qian Kui, as the head of the family, still has to speak. At this time, it can be seen that the owner of Qianzhuang is really a man of great things. He is still trying to make up for the Xun Taijun and his grandson, saying: "Mr. Xun is really humorous!"

Finally, this joking proposal ended with Lady Xun making the final decision: "Leaving this jade reed here will be considered as an engagement. I hope that Master Qian can give me a satisfactory answer in three days." After saying that, she got up and left with Xun Rizhao.

But when she walked in front of Bai Ziyang, Lady Xun stopped, looked at Bai Ziyang and said in a relatively gentle manner: "I wanted to pay a special visit to Master Bai someday, but I didn't expect to meet you today. I hope Master Bai will come to visit my General Jingguo Mansion when he is free!"

Bai Ziyang said politely: "I dare not, I dare not... I will definitely visit you some other day!"

Lady Xun said: "Then my two grandchildren will wait for Master Bai..." After that, she left without looking back.

Early the next morning, Bai Ziyang was stretching in the yard when he saw the waiter leading someone in.

"Hey, Steward Liu..." Bai Ziyang was surprised to see that it was the steward of Qianjia Manor, "Why are you here so early in the morning?"

When Butler Liu saw Bai Ziyang, he handed him a letter and said, "Mr. Bai, my young lady wants to use your restaurant to entertain Mr. Xun today, so she specially ordered us to come and make the arrangements."

Bai Ziyang opened the letter and knew it was written by Qianxun. After all, no one's handwriting could be uglier than hers... He said, "Okay, I know. Go ahead and do it... Go back and tell your young lady that my shop will still be open from now on, and no fooling around!"

Butler Liu smiled and said, "Yes, I will go back and tell my young lady right away!"

At noon, Chihiro came in exaggerated attire with great fanfare. She thought Xun Rizhao was a weak scholar, and wanted to scare him away with some poisonous insects, scorpions, lizards, etc., but she didn't expect that Xun Rizhao would see through her plan. Chihiro failed in her plan and came up with another one. When she heard that Xun Rizhao couldn't drink, she immediately laughed happily and asked the waiter to bring a large bucket of wine. Although she played a trick on Xun Rizhao in the end, she didn't think about her own alcohol tolerance. After drinking a few bowls, she immediately passed out.

When Xun Rizhao was looking at the drunken Qianxun at a loss, Bai Ziyang walked out helplessly and said, "Master Xun, leave Xun to me. I will send someone to send her back to Qianjiazhuang."

Xun Rizhao immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Brother Bai, what a coincidence?"

Bai Ziyang smiled and said, "What a coincidence, this restaurant is owned by me!"

Xun Rizhao remembered and nodded, "Oh, yes... I was wondering why Brother Bai looked familiar to me. I used to come to this restaurant often..."

Bai Ziyang smiled and said, "Drink Lihuabai..."

Xun Rizhao nodded in surprise and said, "Yes! Yes! ...Brother Bai, how did you know?" Then he patted his head and said with a silly smile, "Look at me, this is your restaurant, of course you know."

Bai Ziyang looked outside and said, "It's getting late..."

Upon hearing this, Xun Rizhao said hurriedly: "Oh, yes, I have to go home quickly. Brother Bai, let's drink together next time!" After that, he turned around and ran away in a hurry.

Bai Ziyang looked at his back and shook his head speechlessly. When his eyes swept over, he glanced at the corner of the wall. When Qianxun was playing tricks on Xun Rizhao before, Bai Ziyang clearly heard a third person using the secret sound transmission technique to instruct Xun Rizhao, otherwise Xun Rizhao would not have been able to see through Qianxun's prank. Moreover, when the two of them were drinking, that person instructed him to force the wine out along the meridians, otherwise how could Xun Rizhao not get drunk after drinking a thousand cups...

But before Xun Rizhao left, this mysterious man had already left. Bai Ziyang was somewhat curious about him...
