Zhan Pingyuan shook off Jian Cuilian and walked out.
Jian Cuilian chased after him, grabbed Zhan Pingyuan's clothes, and screamed: "Tell me, the palace master doesn't want that bitch Jian Qingxuan to be the city master of the Giant Sword City, right?"
"let go."
Zhan Pingyuan threw Jian Cuilian away and said angrily: "Go and ask the palace master, how can I know what the palace master thinks?"
Jian Cuilian shouted loudly: "I don't care, anyway, you must help me take the seat of the city lord."
"Do you think too highly of yourself? Or do you think too highly of me?" Zhan Pingyuan looked at Jian Cuilian as if he were an idiot, "No matter how much it happens, it won't be your turn, right?"
"My son is the only surviving male of the Jian family, right?" Jian Cuilian's eyes sparkled, "I don't have the qualifications, but my son does. Let my son be the city lord, and I will help him make decisions behind the scenes."
Zhan Pingyuan sneered: "You are really good at calculating."
Jian Cuilian grabbed Zhan Pingyuan's sleeve and said in an almost pleading tone: "As long as you can help me control the City Lord's Mansion, I will find a way to get Jian Qingxuan to marry you, how about that?"
He pushed Jian Cuilian away impatiently, frowned and said, "Let's find Jian Qingxuan first."
Jian Cuilian screamed: "Zhan Pingyuan, you must help me. At this point, I have put everything on my plate. If you can't help me control the City Lord's Mansion, we will die."
Zhan Pingyuan suddenly turned around, returned to Jian Cuilian like a ghost, waved his hand and slapped Jian Cuilian to the ground.
He grabbed Jian Cuilian's hair and said through gritted teeth: "Bitch, I've tolerated you for a long time, don't force me!"
Jian Cuilian was shocked and angry, but was frightened by Zhan Pingyuan's ferocious expression.
Zhan Pingyuan continued: "I'm desperate, I'll let you die first."
After saying that, he pushed Jian Cuilian to the ground, turned around and left.
Jian Cuilian looked at Zhan Pingyuan's back walking away, her expression extremely sinister.
She clutched her clothes with both hands, trying her best to suppress her anger and said: "Zhan, I risked everything for you, and you did this to me?
You will die badly!"
…
On the way back to his residence, Zhan Pingyuan met Dou Chengfang.
Dou Chengfang was holding a bag of something in her arms, and she could faintly smell the aroma of meat, which seemed to be food.
Zhan Pingyuan walked towards Dou Chengfang.
When Dou Chengfang saw Zhan Pingyuan, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly turned around and turned to the other side.
Zhan Pingyuan's eyes flashed, he chased after her, and shouted: "Junior sister, why are you hiding from me?"
Suddenly she realized that her junior sister had not come near her in the past two days, which was a bit abnormal.
Dou Chengfang lowered his head and said, "No...it's nothing..."
Zhan Pingyuan frowned and said, "Then why are you avoiding me?"
Dou Chengfang said: "I didn't."
Zhan Pingyuan's eyes fell on the oil paper bag in Dou Chengfang's arms: "What did you get?"
Dou Chengfang said: "Eat."
Zhan Pingyuan said: "What are you doing with so much food?"
Dou Chengfang said: "Of course I eat it. Is it possible to take it back and put it away to look good?"
Zhan Pingyuan frowned and said, "You have never had the habit of eating snacks before..."
Dou Chengfang interrupted: "Can't you do it now? I didn't eat well yesterday, so I'm hungry."
Zhan Pingyuan said in surprise: "What's wrong with you? Who provoked you? Are you so angry?"
"I……"
Dou Chengfang pursed her lips and followed her neck: "Can't I feel sorry for Qingqing? I stay with Qingqing every day, and now seeing her being bullied like that, do you think I can feel better?"
Zhan Pingyuan was silent.
Dou Chengfang continued: "Why couldn't you say something for her at that time?"
"Junior sister." Zhan Pingyuan sighed: "We are not suitable to intervene in the current situation of the Jian family. Isn't it hard for you to say anything without seeing Master?"
Dou Chengfang bypassed Zhanpingyuan and left straight away.
Zhan Pingyuan said: "Junior sister, where are you going?"
The direction Dou Chengfang took was not the direction back to her residence.
Dou Chengfang did not look back, but said coldly: "I'm going to take care of Qingqing, can't I?"
Zhan Pingyuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Dou Chengfang's back with a thoughtful expression.
Although Dou Chengfang gave a reasonable explanation, he still felt that something was not right with Dou Chengfang.
At that moment, Zhan Pingyuan did not go back, but came to a sentry tower.
This sentry tower overlooks Jian Qingxuan's courtyard gate and a corner of the courtyard.
It would be inappropriate for the lady's residence to be easily accessible to the servants and guards.
Qingqing usually lives with Jian Qingxuan, so her room is naturally in Jian Qingxuan's yard.
Now the people in the City Lord's Mansion are in panic. After briefly treating her injuries, no one cared about her anymore, so Dou Chengfang said that he would take care of her, which makes sense.
But Zhan Pingyuan always felt that there was something wrong with this.
It wasn't until he reached the guard tower that he figured out what the problem was.
Junior sister Dou Chengfang has always had a proud temperament. Although she gets along well with Qingqing, Qingqing is still a servant after all. How is it possible for her to lower her body and serve her personally?
If Dou Chengfang means to ask other servants to serve Qingqing, it is very likely.
But if Dou Chengfang goes to get food for Qingqing in person...
impossible.
Absolutely impossible!
Therefore, Zhan Pingyuan came here, ready to wait and see what would happen.
From his position on the sentry tower, he could see the entrance to Jian Qingxuan's courtyard and part of the courtyard, but he could not see the main room where Jian Qingxuan lived.
Zhan Pingyuan saw that after Dou Chengfang entered the courtyard, he entered Qingqing's room first.
However, she soon came out of Qingqing's room.
Seeing the oil paper bag that Qingqing was still holding in her arms, Zhan Pingyuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
He originally thought Dou Chengfang would leave, but he didn't expect Dou Chengfang to wander around the yard without knowing what he was doing.
Not long after, Dou Chengfang disappeared from Zhan Pingyuan's sight.
Zhan Pingyuan waited for a long time, but Dou Chengfang did not appear again.
Where has she gone?
Could it be that he went to Jian Qingxuan's room?
No, Jian Qingxuan is not here either. Junior sister is not such an ungrateful person.
Zhan Pingyuan thought wildly for a long time, and it took him a full meal before Dou Chengfang reappeared in his field of vision. The oil paper bag had disappeared.
Zhan Pingyuan watched Dou Chengfang leave Jian Qingxuan's yard. He rubbed his chin with his hand, showing a thoughtful expression.
After Dou Chengfang left Jian Qingxuan's yard, Zhan Pingyuan left the sentry tower and quietly went to Jian Qingxuan's residence.
Normally, it would be inappropriate to sneak into Jian Qingxuan's yard like this.
