Chapter 376 Can You Let Me Go?

Feng Wendan smiled and waved to his daughter, indicating that she should sit down.

"Bi'er, come and sit next to mother."

Qiu Bi sat down as she was told, her brows furrowed in anxiety, and she had no appetite for her meal.

Feng Wendan took out a pair of chopsticks, handed them to his daughter, and comforted her in a soft voice.

"Your father is a poor speaker and his words are nonsense. If you are unhappy, don't keep it in your heart. Just scold him back without worrying about etiquette."

Hearing that there was a misunderstanding, Qiu Bi quickly clarified it.

"Mother, your words are too serious. I don't blame Father."

Finally noticing that his daughter's demeanor was not right, Feng Yan took the blame on himself, reflected on his mistake, and smiled as he picked up some food for his daughter.

"Don't be upset, Bi'er. Dad knows he was wrong and will correct it in the future."

Qiu Bi obediently ate the food her father picked for her, feeling helpless and not knowing whether to laugh or cry for a moment.

"Father, your words are too serious. I am ashamed to accept your apology."

Appreciating that her daughter was sensible and well-behaved, Feng Wendan smiled knowingly and explained the reason in detail.

"Your father is not protecting Master Zhuang for no reason. You don't know that besides the carriage incident, Master Zhuang has done you another great favor."

"Ever since we met in the afternoon, he has been accompanying your father to do farm work. Even under the scorching sun, he still works tirelessly."

"After returning from farming, he helped me do all the housework inside and outside the house without a break."

"He even humbly asked me for advice on how to cook your favorite dishes for your sake. Look, these dishes are his own creations. I've tried them all and they're delicious."

"Ever since he met Lord Zhuang, your father has been praising him constantly. He is truly convinced by him, so he is biased."

Recalling the scene of farming together, Feng Yan felt relaxed and happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Master Zhuang is well-informed, well-behaved, and truly a perfect person."

Zhuang Wei was as usual, well-balanced, calm and steady, and polite.

"Thank you Uncle Feng and Aunt Feng for your praise. I am truly ashamed."

Feng Yan praised it highly and admired it more and more.

"Master Zhuang is still so modest and gentlemanly."

Zhuang Wei acted as he pleased and considerately picked up the dishes and put them into Qiu Bi's bowl.

"I was wrong about what happened yesterday. Please forgive me, Mr. Gao."

Qiu Bi turned her eyes away, not daring to look directly at him, with a complicated expression, and did not pick up her chopsticks.

Zhuang Wei deliberately showed a hint of embarrassment. Although he smiled when he lowered his eyes, he looked timid and pitiful.

Feng Wendan couldn't bear it and helped to persuade him.

"I didn't know you had an argument before, but now I understand what you meant. Do you understand Mr. Zhuang's sincere apology?"

When her mother asked questions, Qiu Bi naturally responded.

"Yes, got it."

Feng Wendan used her hands gently to smooth her frown.

"Then calm down and eat peacefully, okay?"

Qiu Bi tried hard to keep smiling so as not to worry her mother.

"it is good."

Feng Wendan was generous in his praise.

"Bi'er is so good."

Qiu Bi simply ate quickly, thinking that this gathering was over, so she took her father and mother and went straight back home without staying for a moment.

Unexpectedly, before dinner was over, my father and mother both fainted, lying on the dining table, completely unconscious.

Qiu Bi couldn't bear to leave them, yet didn't want to be alone with Zhuang Wei, so she didn't know whether to leave or stay, and was stuck where she was.

"Daddy, wake up...Mom, wake up..."

Zhuang Wei's face suddenly changed, and he used some force to place the chopsticks on the bowl.

Startled by the crisp sound, Qiu Bi trembled all over.

Zhuang Wei's men had surrounded the hut, and all the servants brought by Qiu Bi were knocked unconscious by them.

Qiu Bi looked around, carefully protecting her father and mother, lowering her spirit a bit to show weakness to Zhuang Wei.

"Master Zhuang may not like it, but it's hard to force me... I don't want to, can you let me go?"

Zhuang Wei stood up, walked to her, smiled happily, and lifted her chin, intending to look her in the eye.

"Last night I promised you the position of wife, but you refused. This morning I promised you the position of maid, but you refused. I wonder what Master Gao thinks of the position of concubine?"

Qiu Bi dodged his hand and didn't let him touch her.

"I don't want to marry you, not because of status."

Glancing at his right hand that had missed an attack, Zhuang Wei just smiled and didn't care.

He leaned down, took the initiative to meet her eyes, curled his lips in a charming way, and asked playfully.

"Master Gao, do you mean that I am willing to accompany you without any formal relationship?"

Qiu Bi avoided the sight, stood up and stepped back, moving a step away.

"Master Zhuang is a man of many ideas and wisdom. He is a genius. Why do you have to keep talking and pretend that you don't understand me? It's meaningless."

Zhuang Wei walked closer and put his arms around her slender waist.

"Then let's do something interesting."

Qiu Bi was immediately disgusted, and she brushed his hand off with all her might, then turned her back to him.

"Don't touch me."

A trace of displeasure fell from Zhuang Wei's lips. He grabbed her shoulders and forced her to face him.

"Master Gao, have you forgotten what you said last night? 'Such a great favor, I must think of repaying you.' Now that you have the opportunity to repay, how can you not seize it?"

Qiu Bi responded solemnly and brushed his hands away.

"When I call it a reward, that's not what I mean."

Zhuang Wei looked down at her reluctant expression and couldn't help but raise his lips.

"But the benefactor is interested, what should you do?"

Qiu Bi was patient and humbly gave advice.

"Master Zhuang has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and his family background is also extremely prominent. Why should you worry about not finding a good woman to marry? I am really humble and dare not match the virtue of a great man."

The more Zhuang Wei looked at her, the more he liked her, and he couldn't help but kiss her.

"According to your suggestion, I won't marry you. It's okay to have fun for one night."

Qiu Bi dodged hastily, backing away in fear, not caring about protecting her parents.

"As a gentleman of Zhuang's status, you should have lofty ambitions, 'learn from a young age, follow your father's teachings, and be humble'. Why are your words and actions so rude?"

Zhuang Wei approached quietly, and under the candlelight in the night, his brows became more charming.

"Mr. Gao reminded me to remember my family word by word. His words are sincere and heartfelt. But it's ridiculous. Should people of the Fang clan not follow common sense?"

He looked her up and down, feeling that she was pitiful, he tried to comfort her in a gentle tone.

"You are so beautiful, I have never seen you before, and I have thought hard about it, but I still cannot imagine the beauty of snow jade. Just let me explore it and show my curiosity, and I will stop making things difficult for you, okay?"

Qiu Bi refused bluntly.

"No, I don't want it."

Zhuang Wei grabbed her shoulders again, his eyes flashing with a chill, eerie and coldness.

"I am favored by the emperor. Even if I want to enjoy the concubines in the harem, the emperor will give them to me. I can play with his daughters if I want, and I can kill them if I want. He never asks me. Who do you think you are? How dare you disobey my orders?"

Qiu Bi was surprised and shook her head suddenly in disbelief.

"Impossible, you are lying. The descendants of the Fang clan will not kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Zhuang Wei persisted in his evil ways and acted as if it was a matter of course.

"Of course it's not a random killing of innocent people."

"They are just like you. They are lucky to have my appreciation, but they are unwilling to accept my kindness. Even if they die, how can they be innocent?"

This was so absurd that Qiu Bi absolutely couldn't believe it.

"You scared me on purpose."

Hearing that she still refused to give in, Zhuang Wei completely lost his patience and said something disdainful.

"A woman like you is very hard to please, and you are extremely difficult to coax!"

He loosened his right hand, drew the sword from his waist, and pointed it directly at the Feng couple.

"If the sword is pointed at you, is it also meant to scare you?"

Qiu Bi's face turned pale.

"Don't hurt them!"

She gave some quick advice.

"They are Miss Teng's biological parents, and they are your relatives by marriage. If you act rashly, how will you explain to Mr. Zhuang Er?"

Finally moved, Zhuang Wei smiled with satisfaction.

"My second brother naturally puts his family first and would never quarrel with his brothers for the sake of others."

"I'll ask you again, Master Gao, are you willing to sleep on my bed tonight?"

Qiu Bi wanted to say something but stopped.

"I……"
