Chapter 191

The Mandara Shanzhuang was shaded by green willows, and the camellias were red against the water.

Inside the Mandara Shanzhuang, shadows were flickering as patrols went back and forth. When the patrolling people met, they exchanged words and then dispersed, and in an instant, two more groups gathered; the inspection was very strict.

The boat approached the Mandara Shanzhuang, and several old women were already standing on the shore. Because Gu Qing was sitting at the bow of the boat, facing Abi, Deng Deng Baichuan, and Feng Bo'e, and had not turned around, the old women on the shore only saw his back, along with Deng Deng Baichuan, Feng Bo'e, and Abi, and shouted, "Is Young Master Miss Murong here?"

Gu Qing turned back with a smile.

Deng Deng Baichuan and Feng Bo'e felt a sense of certainty in their hearts and at this moment felt the urge to launch a sneak attack. But seeing the boat swaying, Gu Qing's body seemed to have merged with the boat, rising and falling with it. The two of them stared intently for a moment, but instead, beads of sweat the size of beans fell from their foreheads.

Gu Qing was very steady, terrifyingly steady.

"Not Young Master Miss Murong?"

The old woman on the shore said with cold eyes.

"Of course not."

Gu Qing said with a smile, his voice carrying with the ripples of the water into the Mandara Shanzhuang.

"Mr. Deng, why did you bring an outsider here?"

The old woman on the shore shouted loudly.

Deng Deng Baichuan looked at Gu Qing. Along the way, Gu Qing had only teased Abi and hadn't stated the reason for coming to the Mandara Shanzhuang.

"Why look at me?"

Gu Qing had already turned around and said plainly, "They are asking you."

What should I say?

Deng Deng Baichuan was speechless. Should he tell the people of the Mandara Shanzhuang that he had encountered an opponent as strong as a monster, could not defeat him with all his might, and so had brought him to the Mandara Shanzhuang?

Wouldn't the Miss Murong family then become the ones leading the way?

"Deng Deng Baichuan?"

The old woman on the shore shouted again. Calling him by his full name showed she was clearly impatient.

Deng Deng Baichuan's face was dark. He held the head seat among the Miss Murong family's subordinates, was skilled in martial arts, and had profound internal energy; he was truly a good hand in the world and a man of great prestige wherever he went. Now, however, he took a deep breath, leaped toward the shore, and after landing, cupped his hands and lowered his face to the old women on the shore, explaining nicely.

The old women on the shore rebuked him sharply. Deng Deng Baichuan was in the wrong and could only apologize repeatedly.

"Old Lady Ping has quite a temper."

Abi whispered.

Feng Bo'e remained silent. He liked to talk with his knife, but when it came to street-brawling, he was no match for the old women in the Mandara Shanzhuang.

"That fat old woman does indeed have a big temper."

Gu Qing suddenly said, "Because the Mandara Shanzhuang has recently encountered an opponent who has been assassinating people in the villa, so everyone in the villa is in danger. At this moment, the fat old woman saw Deng Deng Baichuan bringing people, thinking they were reinforcements from the Miss Murong family, not expecting the Miss Murong family to bring an opponent."

Abi nodded, only then understanding why the patrols in the Mandara Shanzhuang were so strict.

"How did you know?"

Abi asked Gu Qing suspiciously.

Could it be that the opponent of the Mandara Shanzhuang was also Gu Qing?

"Of course, I heard it."

Gu Qing pointed to his ears.

Seeing this, Feng Bo'e felt a chill in his heart, knowing that Gu Qing's internal energy had reached a terrifying state, which allowed him to hear the movements on the shore from such a distance.

"Deng Deng Baichuan is currently discussing with them how to deal with me."

Gu Qing smiled again.

"Abi, row the boat."

Feng Bo'e said hurriedly. All their conspiracies were being heard by Gu Qing; continuing would only lead to being laughed at.

Hearing this, Abi hurriedly rowed the boat, quickly approaching the shore of the Mandara Shanzhuang. The boat got closer and closer. Deng Deng Baichuan talked to the fat old woman there, and both stopped talking, watching the boat approach. Gu Qing leaped off the boat and landed on the shore.

"Lead the way." Gu Qing looked at the fat old woman and said, "I just listened for a long time on the boat. You both said that Lady Wang is at home."

Gu Qing had truly come here to find Lady Wang.

Deng Deng Baichuan and the fat old woman both changed color upon hearing this.

Gu Qing looked at the fat old woman with a smile and said, "Old Lady Ping, you kept saying you knew the appearance of the opponent, why didn't you say it? It made me so anxious listening."

Old Lady Ping's face was dark. After Gu Qing accurately called her name, she had no more doubts about Gu Qing hearing their conversation. Moreover, from Deng Deng Baichuan's words, Old Lady Ping already knew of Gu Qing's strength. At this moment, she could only glare at Gu Qing and shout, "An unwelcome guest has arrived; what is your business?"

Gu Qing looked at Old Lady Ping and asked, "Why don't you talk about the girl in black?"

The matter of the girl in black was exactly what the people of the Mandara Shanzhuang had been discussing while patrolling.

"Girl in black?"

Deng Deng Baichuan hissed.

When their group was besieging Gu Qing, a girl in black was standing by Gu Qing's side.

!

"That's right."

Gu Qing smiled, "Deng Deng Baichuan let her go."

The women of the Mandara Shanzhuang did not know about the events on the shore. Hearing that Deng Deng Baichuan had let the person go, they all glared at Deng Deng Baichuan.

"Don't sow discord."

Abi said hurriedly.

"Oh, I am truly sorry."

Gu Qing mimicked Abi's speech and said, "I am a person who likes to tell the truth."

Abi was so angry her face turned red, and she turned her face away.

At this moment, a maid had already reported to Lady Wang. Not long after Gu Qing landed, footsteps were heard in chaos, and a team of women in green robes came with swords. Behind these women, Lady Wang, dressed in a peach-red silk shirt with her hair in a cloud-like bun, walked over slowly.

Gu Qing stared at Lady Wang, seeing that she was very beautiful, but at the age of thirty or forty, she finally had some shallow wrinkles. However, these shallow wrinkles combined with her plump figure and graceful posture gave her a unique, mature charm.

No wonder everyone likes mature women!

The eyes of the masses are truly sharp!

Lady Wang looked at Gu Qing and already knew he was not to be trifled with. She glanced sideways at Abi and ordered the maid, "Go, cut off her hands that row the boat and her legs that run away!"

Lady Wang vented all her displeasure on Abi.

"Madam, absolutely not!"

Deng Deng Baichuan and Feng Bo'e spoke together, blocking Abi's path.

"What, are you two going to defy me?"

Lady Wang shouted coldly.

Lady Wang had a kinship with the Miss Murong family and could be considered half a master of the Miss Murong family. Although the old Lady Miss Murong often scolded Lady Wang and had a bad relationship with her, there was a distinction between superior and inferior, and even Bao Butong, who always liked to scold people, had to show respect in front of Lady Wang.

Now that Lady Wang had assumed the identity of a master, Deng Deng Baichuan and Feng Bo'e were in a difficult position, but they did not budge.

"Move aside!"

Lady Wang became even angrier.

"Stop shouting, Madam."

Gu Qing intervened at the right time, saying, "The three of them are in the same boat. Actually, the old Lady Miss Murong told them about your past affairs. They all know about it; they are just showing you a bit of polite respect. Privately, they all look down on you."

Lies do not hurt people.

The truth is the sharp knife.

Gu Qing knew how to twist the knife.

This knife made Lady Wang's face turn pale, and Deng Deng Baichuan and Feng Bo'e were shocked.
