Chapter 346: Still marrying now?
Jingzhao had just enjoyed a few days of peace when today the streets were filled with a series of loud banging sounds.
Huang Bang brought a matchmaker and carried betrothal gifts to the Marquis's mansion to propose marriage in a grand manner.
Before the body of Marquis Xuanping was cold, this imperial commander could not wait to come to his house. Not long ago, there were rumors about an affair between the two of them, saying that there was nothing fishy between him and the marquis' wife. Who would believe it?
When the housekeeper learned that the commotion outside was directed at his own family, his calm old face instantly turned ashen with anger.
"Everyone, grab your weapons and kick this rude and rude scoundrel out of the mansion."
"Butler, should we inform the Madam about this?"
"No, don't disturb Madam's peace over such a small matter."
The servants around suddenly fell silent. Qin Miaoxi, dressed in a tight-fitting suit and holding a shiny black whip in her hand, walked towards them majestically.
"What did you just say?"
"Madam! Did you hear everything?"
"Huang Bang dared to come at this time, not only to slap the face of Xuanping Marquis Mansion, but also to ignore me."
Qin Miaoxi's eyes swept over the guards holding sticks, "All of you, join me in resisting the enemy and defending the Xuanping Marquis Mansion!"
The words "defend against the enemy" sounded like a horn before a war in their ears. Those fragile wooden sticks were instantly discarded and replaced with sharp weapons.
They followed Qin Miaoxi in an orderly manner and ran towards the mansion gate.
The butler stared in amazement at the guards who had transformed into murderous warriors, his mind seemingly unable to process what was going on.
Nothing will happen if we go out like this, right?
When Qin Miaoxi opened the door, the people led by Huang Bang had already arrived.
The guards stood opposite them, giving the impression of a major battle between two armies, with a life-or-death decision imminent.
Huang Bang's eyes lit up when he saw Qin Miaoxi, and he urged the matchmaker to come forward.
The matchmaker looked her up and down with a subtle look of contempt in her eyes.
"Oh! Miss Qin is delighted. Our Master Huang has long admired you. Knowing that you are now free, he has specially brought tens of thousands of dollars to propose marriage."
Seeing Qin Miaoxi looking down at them expressionlessly and ignoring herself, a famous matchmaker in Jingzhao, the anger in her heart exploded.
He shouted angrily to the attendant behind him: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and open the betrothal gift box and let Miss Qin take a look."
She has seen many women like this. They just want to raise their own value so that they can sell themselves for a good price.
But she didn't think about how she, the owner of a paper-making shop, could have the right to marry the emperor's favorite, even if she had been a marquis's wife.
Soon, more than thirty boxes were opened one by one, revealing the rare treasures inside, including some imperial gifts bestowed upon him by the emperor. Now he used them as betrothal gifts, which shows how much he values Qin Miaoxi.
Huang Bang asked cautiously, "Miss Qin, are you satisfied with this?"
Before Qin Miaoxi could say anything, the matchmaker spoke first, "Don't worry, my lord! This betrothal gift is very sincere and is no less than the princess's."
After saying this, he looked at Qin Miaoxi with a pointed look and said sarcastically, "Miss Qin, marriage is like reincarnation. It's not easy to meet a man who is wholeheartedly devoted to you and who understands your feelings. What are you waiting for? If you miss out on such a handsome man like Mr. Huang, you will probably regret it."
Everyone's eyes were on Qin Miaoxi. She had a calm smile on her face the whole time. She was neither happy nor angry about Huang Bang's proposal, and it was hard to tell her true nature.
She walked over to the yellow list and met his eyes. "Master Huang, do you know how to write the four words 'too much is as bad as too little'?"
Huang Bang's lips curled up into a gentle smile, "Miss Qin, I have admired you for many years. Now I just want to take care of you, nothing else."
"Haha! Actually, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have realized what you meant by admiration."
Qin Miaoxi walked around him twice and said meaningfully, "Sir Huang, this man's life and death happened in a split second, in the blink of an eye. It was so fast!"
"Sometimes you should know how to cherish your life and not make up things to insult others. It will look cheap."
Even though he was ridiculed like this, Huang Bang still stared at her deeply without changing his expression.
"I will let Miss Qin see my sincerity."
Snapped!
Qin Miaoxi immediately swung the sharp whip through the air and hit his back, tearing his wedding robe and mixing blood and flesh.
Blood flowed down his back onto the ground, splashing blood flowers, which echoed the bright red scene.
"Stop! You are killing imperial officials."
Huang Bang's face was pale and he hadn't said a word yet, but his lackeys were the first to get angry.
Qin Miaoxi raised her eyebrows and tilted her head to look at him playfully, "Oh? Lord Huang, tell your people, have I got you?"
"No, no."
He endured the pain, stood up palely and saluted her, "Thank you Miss Qin for the reward."
Qin Miaoxi sent a provocative look to those who were eyeing her covetously.
"Did you hear that? Your master said thank you for the reward."
"Master Huang, please don't bring this dog out next time. It's embarrassing and tarnishes your reputation."
The atmosphere was deadlocked for a moment. Beads of sweat ran down the matchmaker's cheeks. She didn't even dare to look at the violent Qin Miaoxi.
But facing Huang Bang's warning gaze, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Miss Qin, some relationships will gradually become distant. The vacant position will always be filled by the right person, and by then you will have already let it go. Why not seize the happiness that belongs to you now?"
happiness!?
A commander of the imperial guards, a dignified Second Prince, and now she is the widow of Marquis Xuanping.
She was sure that she was being set up.
Now that she is in the game, the water cannot be clean, and she is willing to be the stick that muddies it.
"Now you still want to marry me?"
Huang Bang was silent for a moment, then looked up and met her eyes, his eyes filled with determination and...resoluteness.
"Marrying Miss Qin is my lifelong wish."
Snapped!
Another heavy whip.
"Are you still going to marry me now?"
"Marry."
clap clap!
"now what?"
"And marry."
Qin Miaoxi laughed in anger, "Okay, Huang Bang, you are really good..."
Now they dare to threaten her.
The shadow flickered, and the fierce wind in the air blew in all directions, and the servants of the Huang family were blown to and fro.
How to stir up sand and dust?
When everyone opened their eyes again, Huang Bang was lying in a pool of blood, his life or death unknown.
The matchmaker brought by Huang Bang screamed in fear: "You...you are killing someone."
"kill?"
Qin Miaoxi fiddled with the whip in her hand, staring at her with a half-smile, "Which eye of yours saw me kill someone? He just... clearly committed suicide."
The matchmaker rolled her eyes in fear and collapsed on the ground. A strong and fishy smell hit her nose. The next moment, the red dress under the matchmaker was dyed dark red.
Everyone took a step back in disgust, and a vacuum circle immediately appeared next to the matchmaker, who was placed alone with Huang Bang's "corpse".
Qin Miaoxi's gentle eyes swept over the passers-by around her, but her faint voice fell clearly into the ears of everyone present.
"You also think that this lady is the one who is killing people?"
"No, no, he committed suicide. We can all testify to that."
