Chapter 200 - 75: Yue Jinghua’s Death from Overwork (Supplement)_3
Qiu Chuzi finished reading, couldn’t help but clasp his wrist, regretting the past quarrels with Madam She Xiang, thinking they should have married and had children earlier, especially daughters.
Who says having daughters is a loss? Having a daughter like Yue Jinghua is like embracing a gold brick.
This isn’t a Divorce Paper, it’s outright extortion! This lady is talented, extremely talented indeed.
Upon reading the document, Shalman was first filled with emotion, and then felt injusticed for Yue Jinghua.
"Hahaha, this old man has indeed misjudged. I’ve never encountered such a woman in my life. Just for this reason alone, I will not stand by and watch her meet her end," Qiu Chuzi could not hold back, slapping the table and bursting out into hearty laughter.
"Dean, please save Jinghua first. I don’t know if that sinister Fa Xiao Yi has secretly harmed her," Shalman said with gritted teeth, hating the scoundrel Fa Xiao Yi to the bone, feeling a fellowship with "Yue Jinghua" as both suffered from being outcasts.
"Don’t panic, she won’t die just yet. She has entered a state of five senses closure. That girl called Hongling, put away your mournful expression, it’s bad luck to look at. Tell me honestly, what injury has your mistress suffered? And how did you think to seek me out?" Qiu Chuzi’s demeanor changed dramatically – just a moment ago he was laughing heartily, but the next, he had put on a stern face.
Hongling’s heart skipped a beat, she pondered for a moment, "Dean Qiu is insightful. My mistress’s injury is due to the overuse of spiritual power, leading to exhaustion. As for why we came to you, it’s because aside from you, I don’t know whom else to turn to. My lady has led a hard life from a young age and has been subjected to bullying while staying in someone else’s home. She has said that Dean Qiu is a hidden master and, being your student, you surely would not stand by idly in the face of her crisis."
Hongling had accompanied Yue Jinghua and had learned the art of deception and persuasion. The lady had said to show weakness when meeting others, then to act pitiable to garner sympathy; having done the first two, the last was to have thick skin.
The so-called pandering with a flattering face, everyone loves to hear good words, you have to praise Dean Qiu to the skies, until he forgets himself in vanity and readily agrees to your request.
"Hmm, this girl does have some discernment," Qiu Chuzi held his head high, unspeakably proud.
Despite Hongling’s flattery, Dean Qiu wouldn’t be so easily fooled.
