CHAPTER 167 (2): RIDICULOUS ANCESTRAL TEACHINGS
Translation: Cosy
Aware of Su Xi-er's attention on him, a glimpse of displeasure flickered in Pei Qianhao's eyes. "What are you looking at? Isn’t it all because of you?" His words were tainted with hints of irritation and fury.
Su Xi-er was puzzled. Seeing that woman’s body and provoking her- how is any of that my fault? It’s not like I told him to do it.
i Jinxiu swiftly descended the stairs with a murderous intent in his eyes. She glared at Su Xi-er before she spoke with an air of arrogance. "I am i Jinxiu, the sole daughter of the i Family. You must have heard of the i Family, right? According to our ancestral teachings, whoever sees the body of one of our won must marry them. I don't care what your relationship with this man is; imdiately scram!"
Her attitude was extrely arrogant, but not like Pei Qianhao’s. Instead of instilling others with fear and respect, her attitude only made others want to talk back to her.
Hence, Su Xi-er retorted promptly. "i Family? I have not heard of them. However, I do think that this ancestral teaching of yours is ridiculous. If I were to see all of you, are you going to make marry you too?"
Actually, Su Xi-er did know about the i Family. They were a line of physicians, and had produced many miracle doctors over the years. Unfortunately, they had a lack of descendants. With the current generation consisting only of i Jinxiu, she was forced to run all the dicine shops on her own. Just based on the sheer number of dicine stores the i Family managed, this was no an feat. This wasn’t even considering the fact that very few won held such responsibilities in the first place.
Though they may not be extrely influential in Nanzhao’s capital, the i Family had so status in nearly every other county.
After hearing Su Xi-er’s explanation, i Jinxiu was red with fury. What nonsense, she actually used the loopholes in my words. In her anger, she raised her voice even higher, "When a man sees the body of woman in my i Family, he will have to marry her. Who said anything about won. Anyway, the man beside you is mine!"
Su Xi-er laughed, "Just because you said so?"
The displeasure in Pei Qianhao's eyes dissipated, and a look of interest took its place. Su Xi-er’s reaction had pleased him, and he was no only like a bystander watching a show, waiting to see how Su Xi-er would put i Jinxiu in her place.
i Jinxiu hollered angrily, "Is he your husband? Hmph, even if he was your husband, you would have to give him to now. Are you as powerful as the i Family?"
The manager who was coming from the kitchen nearly dropped the flower wine in his hands upon hearing this. Heavens, what nonsense is this i Jinxiu spouting? That's the one and only Prince Hao!
The manager imdiately stepped forward, intending to intervene before he was stopped by Pei Qianhao’s cold glare. He sensed Prince Hao's intention for him to not interfere.
This... What exactly is Prince Hao planning?
Su Xi-er shook her head. "He is not my husband, he is my master."
i Jinxiu laughed even louder. "A lowly maidservant can’t be compared to my i Family. As your master is mine, you will have to call Madam in the future."
Instantaneously, Su Xi-er felt that i Jinxiu was even more shaless than Widow Liu. But why is Pei Qianhao not saying anything after i Jinxiu has gone this far?
Su Xi-er saw the delight in Pei Qianhao's eyes the mont she turned her head back. He’s simply treating this as entertainnt.
Unresigned, she simply said, "Master, this lady has set her eyes on you. Are you leaving with her or not?"
Pei Qianhao chuckled, "Do you wish for to leave?"
i Jinxiu instantly flared up when his words reached her ears. "As my man, you are not allowed to flirt with other won." i Jinxiu never spared a thought for the man's identity. The i Family's status in Nanzhao is not low. I'm more than enough to match with the man in front of !
Thankfully this man who saw my body is pretty good looking. i Jinxiu felt more relieved after realising this.
