Chapter 23 Attending the Banquet
Chen Yang thought about it and realized that it made sense.
Liu Qingxia took a deep breath and quickly took off Chen Yang's jacket. Her cheeks flushed instantly when her fingers touched his firm muscles.
However, she relaxed a little when she thought that Chen Yang was blind and couldn't see her predicament.
Soon, Chen Yang was dressed in a gray-red silk robe, with a jade pendant hanging at his waist and patterns of flowers, birds, mountains, and rocks embroidered on his chest and back.
Liu Qingxia took a few steps back and couldn't help but laugh, "It fits perfectly! It was worth spending over 100 taels to have it custom-made. Turn around so I can see."
Chen Yang spun around twice.
Looking at him wearing sunglasses, Liu Qingxia's eyes crinkled into a smile: "Even though he's blind, he's a handsome blind man!"
She stepped forward and naturally smoothed Chen Yang's collar, thinking to herself: Luckily, I listened to my third sister's advice and used Chen Yang as a shield.
As evening fell, Liu Qingxia and Chen Yang boarded a carriage and headed straight for the city lord's mansion.
Qingzhou City was located in a remote area of the Ming Dynasty. It was a relatively small city with only three powerful families: the Ma family, the Qin family, and the Liu family.
However, there are very few cultivators at the Blood Exchange Realm in the three major families.
City Lord Xiao Daoyun is already a Golden Body Realm expert!
Therefore, even though the City Lord's Mansion had few members, Xiao Daoyun still held absolute authority in Qingzhou City.
Because strength is always the ultimate truth!
The carriage stopped, and Chen Yang looked up and surveyed the city lord's mansion. It was brightly decorated and festive, with rows of carriages neatly parked outside the gate.
Today is the National Day of the Ming Dynasty, and all the prominent people in Qingzhou City have been invited. No one dares to disrespect Xiao Daoyun.
Chen Yang had been here before; back then he was a rising star in business and a real estate tycoon.
Now, he is merely a blind man by Liu Qingxia's side, a shield, a useless son-in-law kicked out of the Ma family, and an insignificant live-in son-in-law in the Liu family.
Liu Qingxia got off the carriage and took the initiative to hug Chen Yang's arm.
Chen Yang's body stiffened.
This wasn't just a simple hand-holding; it was a genuine, intimate embrace.
Because he could clearly feel the soft, enveloping sensation coming from his arm.
The two walked towards the city lord's mansion. Chen Yang's movements were stiff, and Liu Qingxia was initially blushing and nervous, but thinking of their purpose today, she hugged him even tighter and whispered, "Chen Yang, don't be so stiff, be natural! Don't forget, you're the shield that the three sisters of us married."
"I knew it was a shield, but I didn't expect this benefit." Chen Yang smiled wryly. "You're holding me so tightly, it feels like I'm dreaming."
Liu Qingxia's cheeks flushed slightly, and she reached out to pinch his arm: "Stop being so cheeky!"
After they talked about it, they both relaxed a lot.
Together they crossed the threshold and entered the magnificent hall.
Although it was night, the hall was illuminated as if it were daytime by torches and sparkling crystals.
As soon as Chen Yang and Liu Qingxia entered, everyone who had arrived looked over.
Several beautiful young women stared at Chen Yang, their eyes wide with amazement: "Who is this handsome guy? We've never seen him before!"
"It looks like Chen Yang!"
"Chen Yang? Ma Xinran's ex-boyfriend? No, he's with Liu Qingxia!"
"You don't know? On the night of Chen Yang's wedding to Ma Xinran, the Ma family dug out his spiritual bones and shattered his dantian, leaving him a cripple. Later, he was rescued by the three Liu sisters, and now he's a son-in-law living with the Liu family!"
"Still so handsome even after being crippled?"
The women's chatter rose and fell.
Wearing sunglasses and a custom-made robe, Chen Yang was indeed handsome. Liu Qingxia, in a white dress, also attracted a lot of attention.
Just then, a heavy, cold snort rang out.
Ma Tinghai!
Seeing that Chen Yang, this good-for-nothing, was not only not down on his luck, but also dressed smartly, he was instantly furious and walked straight toward Liu Qingxia.
Although Liu Qingxia was a junior, Ma Tinghai did not dare to underestimate her.
Everyone knows that the Liu family is now run by the three sisters. Liu Qingxia is young, but her strength is comparable to that of the elders of other families. She is treated as the head of the Liu family in public.
"Miss Liu, how have you been?" Ma Tinghai laughed and greeted her first.
Liu Qingxia nodded slightly.
"I wonder how Grandpa Liu is doing lately?" Ma Tinghai asked again.
"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Ma. Grandpa's condition is stable." Liu Qingxia said calmly. "My eldest sister and third sister have gone out to find medicinal herbs. They should be back soon, and Grandpa will be able to recover by then."
"That's good. I've been thinking about Old Master Liu." Ma Tinghai stroked his beard, then suddenly changed the subject, "By the way, Miss Liu, I must remind you, this Chen Yang beside you isn't exactly honest!"
Chen Yang narrowed his eyes, cursing inwardly: The old bastard is stirring up trouble again!
Liu Qingxia frowned slightly but did not reply.
Ma Tinghai deliberately raised his voice so everyone around could hear: "I'm just giving you a heads-up. This kid is a complete liar and insatiable! When he married into our Ma family, he said the auction house and caravan were his personal property. And what happened? He sold the auction house to Tianbao Pavilion long ago!"
"He tricked my daughter into getting pregnant using despicable means, a liar who used every trick in the book to marry into my Ma family. Looking back now, I, Ma Tinghai, have spent my whole life playing the hawk, only to be pecked in the eye by the hawk! This bastard almost ruined my family! Miss Liu, you'd better be very careful!"
The surrounding area immediately erupted in discussion:
"What? Chen Yang's auction house was sold to Tianbao Pavilion? No wonder there were so many longevity pills at the last auction, it turns out Tianbao Pavilion was backing him!"
"I used to think the Ma family ruined him because they wanted to seize his assets, but now it seems there might be more to the story!"
"Businessmen are all ruthless! Otherwise, how could a poor kid become a business tycoon in just three years?"
Enraged, Liu Qingxia retorted, "Uncle Ma, you don't need to worry about these things. We three sisters married Chen Yang not for his wealth or his lineage. He will absolutely not suffer the same fate as before in the Liu family!"
After saying that, she wrapped her arms tightly around Chen Yang's arm and walked straight inside.
A burst of barely suppressed laughter rose from the surrounding area.
Ma Tinghai's face flushed red instantly.
Liu Qingxia's words were clearly a sarcastic remark, implying that the Ma family had married off their daughter to seize their assets!
He dared not speak out, fearing that Liu Qingxia and Chen Yang would expose more scandals in public. He could only stare at their backs and curse inwardly: "You filthy woman, just you wait! Chen Yang, I won't sleep peacefully until you're dead!"
At this moment, a subordinate of the city lord's mansion entered the hall and announced loudly, "Gentlemen! The National Day banquet is about to begin! Those who have received an invitation from the city lord, please proceed to the left to attend the ceremony; those who have received an invitation from Young Master Xiao, please proceed to the right hall for entertainment!"
Liu Qingxia frowned slightly.
She thought everyone was in one place, but she didn't expect them to be split into two groups.
The invitation she received was naturally from Xiao Fan.
Looking around, the older and stronger people all went towards the city lord, while the younger generation smiled and walked towards the right hall where Xiao Fan was.
Seeing that many people were attending the banquet with her, Liu Qingxia breathed a slight sigh of relief and walked into the right-hand hall with Chen Yang.
As soon as he entered, a round-faced, slightly chubby man with a neatly tied hair bun, dressed in a luxurious robe, walked towards him. It was Xiao Fan!
He was smiling and greeting everyone.
But when he saw Liu Qingxia clinging tightly to Chen Yang's arm, Xiao Fan's eyes flashed with an uncontrollable murderous intent and chill!
