He has a small business which was obviously also earning miniscule. Everyone would not mind of course no one would also admit that their business could be same but since he dares to come he should know there are set standards.

The young wife of Chu Mu—the ignorant male wife, marrying a dying man.

Everyone eyes were on Xie Tingyue, who is not staring at him? Where can he get the courage to walk and look down on who!

“Oh, look at it look at it he who was so capable and taken the Chu family.”

“Heh, I’m afraid I’ll be silence by Chu family—the taste of high class family we can’t just understand.”

“I don’t understand this man.. is it really fun to walk on dry road?”*

“They are not ordinary men, of course it’s fun, we just won’t understand!”

“That person’s body is different from us. You just can’t play around, you need to be serious!”

“But with that body, is it good? What if I can’t enjoy playing?”

“Can’t play? There are other ways to play—”

(TL: *ridiculing Xie Tingyue with green jokes)

All the tongues of those man who enjoy ridiculing Xie Tingyue has evolve into that of a woman, winking meaningfully and the sound of muffles laugh like a chicken pinched on its neck; sharp and bold, it was as if they had seen what the other people did in their room.

Qi Wenhai was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and was about to go over ad curse, but was held back by Xie Tingyue.

“They’re slandering you!” Qi Wenhai stared at Xie Tingyue, hated that iron can’t become steel.

Xie Tingyue smiles, reflecting the light cold breeze: “That’s because they don’t know me.”

Qi Wenhai thinks so too, who is so smart and wise, good at spotting opportunities—knowing this Buddha! Xie Tingyue is his treasure. If they don’t see it with their own eyes then they don’t know how vast the world is!

In an instant, Qi Wenhai’ face change back to normal, his eyes flew diagonally and got an idea: “Let’s—embarrassed them once?”

“To win today is the most effective slap”

Xie Tingyue’s smiling face eyes narrowed slightly like a sly cat: “They are acting all cool and are secretly happy about others misfortune. I still prefer to slap them face to face, make them regret they ever think about ridiculing me and make sure they can’t find their way out.”

Qi Wenhai laughed immediately: “Yes, that is even cooler!”

The crowd didn’t hear the conversation between the two of them and the ridicule continued. This time they longer just talk about things in other people’s private matter but also included business.

“Immediately during New Year everyone is thinking of ways to sell things and empty the warehouse but he put everything in his hands and the fabric shop couldn’t even sell any cloth. Isn’t this stupid? What an idiot!”

“Haha, you don’t understand, we are man, and his a wife, we think differently. Maybe he wanted to focus on having a baby!”

“Hahahaha, your making me laugh too much, giving birth to a child, does the fabric shop has that function or does it have that structure?”

“Don’t be deceive, people eve dare to marry a man, and even dare to take it back home, maybe they can really give birth hahaha!”

“Such a fool. If I can kill ten people with one finger or if he can sold anything from his shop I will walk naked!”

“You’ll walk naked—you said this—” Qi Wenhai walked over with a gloomy face standing in front of the person who said the last sentence, “Why don’t we make this bet today?’

The man was stunned when he saw Qi Wenhai and then looked at Xie Tingyue who was standing behind him, his immediately stood up again.

Qi Wenhai has the ability, he knew about his skill but can’t hold back his self!

This bastards stuff must never be sold!

“Okay, I’ll bet with you!”

There were too many people, too busy that no one noticed there were two more people beside the corridor and their complexion is very dark.

Qi Ping swallowed his saliva cautiously: “Master.. do you want to greet madam?”

Chu Mu sneered his face was very dark: “Greet him so that he will be laughed more?”

Qi Wenhai slapped himself in his mind and told not to talk anymore! He mustn’t speak!

The tall man stood up straight blocking the wind for his master and not daring to speak anymore.

“Oh, it’s so lively here, what are you betting?”

He Yuanqi came smiling, he greeted and shakes everyones hand and walked into the center of the crowd.

He Yuanqi was regarded as an influential businessman in the capital—the speed of how fast his thigh rises* and the feud between him and the Qi family—but with Qi Wenhai is purely extreme jealousy. His ability to make enemies is comparable to his ability he making friends, and he  also knows a lot of people.

(TL: *fast his influncial, power and money grows)

As he has walked all the way to where Qi Wenhai and Xie Tingyue is, someone responded to his question along the way.

“I didn’t expect that you would come too—why isn’t your sister married yet, enjoying the leisure life?”

Qi Wenhai squinted, not wanting to be outdone: “My sister is precious like pearl, how can she marry early? Naturally she needs to stay for a few more years but you—your busy making enemies leaving your wife and concubine at home, don’t you worry?”

(TL: I really don’t understand the convo here.. its jumps from one topic to another)

The words they utter had hurt each other.

Xie Tingyue almost immediately notices that the feud between the two families has something to do with Qi Wenhai’s younger sister, and He Yuanqi’s wife and concubine, something should have happened, there must be something wrong.

This He Yuanqi was really ugly; short, fat, small eyes, flat face, big mouth and his lips are thick enough to cut two dishes.

He Yuanqi noticed Xie Tingyue behind Qi Wenhai and squinted: “It’s a rare day, you have brought a helper? It looks pretty good-looking, do you plan to entertain by pouring tea on close curtain?”

The beds these days are covered with curtains* and before going to bed, curtains are laid down. Saying this, he was implying something and it seems that none of the ‘audience’ understand what it means.

(TL: *like a canopy)

Qi Wenhai gritted his teeth and almost punch someone directly. He didn’t believe that this turtle face didn’t know who Xie Tingyue was! If someone wants to have a concubine under someone else’s, will you have ask the master house quietly? Even if you don’t know each other, everyone is talking about Xie Tingyue, how could he not know? Even if he really don’t know he won’t make such a deliberate humiliating joke!

Someone’s mouth was faster than him and just answered: “Boss He, you guessed it wrong this time, this is Chu furen*, the male wife!”

(TL: * mrs./married woman)

“Chu furen…..” He Yuanqi immediately greeted Xie Tingyue with indescribable smile,

“That was disrespectful, how can this beautiful man be so deceitful? Why chose a boring man? How about you consider me instead?”

He moved forward and pulled Xie Tingyue’s hand: “Looking at these hands that brings wealth, such a pity it went to a wrong—”

Everyone who hears this unexpected scene snickered.

On the corridor, Chu Mu’s face was so dark that it could explode any moment.

The frightening atmosphere that followed Qin Ping left him afraid and dared not talk anymore lest he says something again!

Chu Mu stared at the salted pork knuckles and his eyes turned cold: “Throw this person to Xiefang Pavilion”

Qin Ping subconsciously clamped his thigh.

Xiefang Pavilion is not an ordinary place to play. The people serving there are not girls, but men, they are strong and mighty men. Xiefang Pavilion is not just for guest to pick up fragrance* but also for the guest to enjoy the pleasure of being picked up.

(TL:* male prostitute)

He Yuanqi, you want to tease a man? Then you’ll have the taste of being picked by a man!
