The system asked me to chase his wife

Yun Xingqing smiled when he saw Qiao Yuandong was angry. When the corners of his mouth turned up, his whole body looked more and more energetic like a young man.

"Oh, that's right! This is the fearless Dong Niang I know!"

Qiao Yuandong was stunned when he heard this, and quickly restrained his expression, feeling a little annoyed.

Really, it's always hard to be a lady in front of this guy!
"Goodbye!" Qiao Yuandong straightened his back and walked away with a wooden face.

"Wait a minute." Yun Xingqing called her from behind.

Qiao Yuandong frowned and turned around: "Are you going to laugh at me too?"

Are you making fun of her for losing her husband at such a young age?

Are you making fun of her for being unlucky in marriage?
Yun Xingqing looked at her in surprise for a long while, with a hint of grievance in his eyes. He muttered, "Why are you looking at me like this? I just want to ask you."

Before Yun Xingqing finished speaking, Qiao Yuandong interrupted him: "You and I are strangers now. Mr. Yun, you should think about some things before you say them."

After saying that, she walked away.

Yun Xingqing stood there in a daze for a long time, then suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "I just wanted to ask if your gardenia is blooming well."

Qiao Yuandong had already walked far away and could no longer hear these words.

As for this "chance encounter", both of them were smart enough to guess the reason, but one of them accidentally revealed it, and as a result, they were no longer destined to meet again.

Qiao Yuandong did not take this matter to heart. She walked straight out of the palace gate. The servants waiting outside the palace immediately drove a car to pick her up.

When Rongzhu saw Qiao Yuandong coming out, she hurried forward. Qiao Yuandong knew something was wrong from her expression, so he gave her an inquiring look.

Rong Zhu helped Qiao Yuandong to the carriage while whispering, "The housekeeper just sent a letter saying something happened at the Second Master's birthday party."

Qiao Yuandong's heart tightened when she heard this. She looked at Rongzhu suddenly and the first thing she said was: "Did An Ge'er get into trouble?"

Rong Zhu spoke truthfully: "Madam, don't worry. From what the servant said, the Second Master is fine. It's just that he seemed to have had an argument with someone and accidentally hurt him."

The coachman also knew that his master had something urgent to do, so after the lady got in the carriage, he took a shortcut and drove quickly to the Duke's Mansion without waiting for any instructions.

Today is Xiang Xiu'an's birthday, but unfortunately, Qiao Yuandong has to go to the palace to express his gratitude.

She thought everything was arranged properly, and Xiang Xiu'an was sensible and well-behaved, so there would be no big mistakes. However, she didn't expect that something went wrong in just half a day.

The carriage clattered along as the journey progressed, but at this time the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion was in chaos.

Early this morning, Xiang Xiu'an put on his favorite robe and dressed himself up nicely to welcome the guests he invited.

It's a child's birthday, not a coming-of-age ceremony, so just invite some playmates of the same age.

After all, he had the status of the prince of the Duke's Mansion, so many noblemen in the capital gave him face and came to congratulate him.

Even young men you don’t meet on weekdays will send gifts to your door.

So Xiang Xiu'an's birthday party was not deserted.

Soon the table prepared in the Duke's Mansion was full of people. The son of the Shangshu family and the grandson of the Marquis family were all present. It could be said that the place was full of distinguished guests.

When everyone met, they greeted each other and chatted, and the atmosphere was harmonious for a while.

After they sat down, since they were just a group of teenagers after all, someone suggested having some wine, and everyone agreed.

Soon the servants brought in some good wine, and everyone started toasting each other.

When the wine was in high spirits, the young men became excited and one of them took the lead to toast the birthday boy, and the others naturally took turns to toast him.

The lady and Qiao Yuandong always paid great attention to Xiang Xiu'an's health, so they controlled him a lot in terms of wine, meat, and sex. Xiang Xiu'an also cooperated well, so he seldom drank alcohol.

But today was a special day, and he didn't want to offend his friends, but he had indeed drunk enough wine.

Xiang Xiu'an had no choice but to stand up by supporting himself on the table, pour a full glass of wine, hold it up and apologize to everyone, saying that he really couldn't drink any more today and hoped for their forgiveness.

He spoke very sincerely, and everyone saw that he was indeed a little drunk, so they stopped urging him to drink more.

However, there was a fearless kid among them who refused to give in even after seeing Xiang Xiu'an had given in.

A young man in splendid clothes shouted at Xiang Xiu'an who was about to sit back down, "Xiang Lang, this is not very kind. We came here specially to celebrate your birthday, but you refused to even drink a glass of wine. Do you look down on us?"

Xiang Xiu'an's butt had not yet touched the stool when he was forced to stand up again by the shout. He opened his drunken eyes to recognize the person who was speaking.

Xiang Xiu'an couldn't help but frown when he recognized Wu Wendong, the eldest grandson of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was well-known in the capital for his violent temper. He even dared to beat the censor in front of the emperor. He was a well-known reckless man who would do anything he pleased.

His favorite eldest grandson, Wu Wendong, has perfectly inherited his grandfather's genes. He also confronts everyone he meets and can criticize anyone he meets.

Unfortunately, this guy was drunk again, and I'm afraid his temper would be aroused again.

Someone in the field also recognized Wu Wendong and knew that he was a powder keg. In order to prevent any accidents, they quietly came over to persuade him.

The servant who had been watching the banquet also noticed something was wrong and quickly went to the backyard to report it.

Although Wu Wendong has a hot temper on weekdays, he is also cheerful and free-spirited, so he is quite popular in Beijing.

But he has a shortcoming. Once he gets drunk, he becomes a complete fool.

At this time, the young men who were on good terms with both sides came forward to persuade them, but Wu Wendong would not listen to a word they said.

Now there was only one thought in his confused mind: Xiang Xiu'an refused to drink the wine he offered. Xiang Xiu'an was not a good man! "Hey! Do you want to drink this glass of wine or not?"

Xiang Xiu'an was already a little angry at this time, and was a little impatient after being bluntly criticized by Wu Wendong.

He and Wu Wendong were usually just nodding acquaintances. Today, Wu Wendong came with the young master of Minister Liu's family.

Even if Xiang Xiu'an doesn't give face to Wu Wendong, he will always give face to his good friend.

He paused and said to Wu Wendong kindly: "Brother Wu, I am really sorry. Today..."

Before Xiang Xiu'an could finish his words, Wu Wendong became unhappy.

"You're so shameless, aren't you? I came all the way here to drink your wine, and you're still acting like a sissy!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence for a moment. Everyone looked at Xiang Xiu'an. Xiang Xiu'an's face had turned red and white, and white and black.

After all, he was the host today, so Xiang Xiu'an could only suppress his unhappiness and prepared to instruct the servants beside him to invite Wu Wendong to rest in the side room.

Someone had already come forward to smooth things over, saying, "It's obvious that Mr. Wu is drunk. Drunk people don't take their words seriously. Don't blame me."

Wu Wendong glared and yelled, "No matter who is drunk, I can never be drunk!"

The servant came up to pull him up, and he was struggling and grinning.

"What! What did I say wrong? Xiang Xiu'an is just taking advantage of his status as the prince of the Duke's Mansion. What a bullshit! Why is he so arrogant when his parents are gone?"

As soon as Wu Wendong said this, everyone knew that something bad was going to happen, and those who were close to him came up and covered his mouth.

But Wu Wendong's voice was quite loud, and Xiang Xiu'an heard his words clearly. The anger he had been trying hard to suppress suddenly surged up.

His eyes were red, emitting a fiery gleam. He pushed aside the people who were trying to stop him, strode up to Wu Wendong, and asked coldly, "What did you say?"

Wu Wendong was now drunk and was speaking and acting without thinking. He struggled to break free from the others' grip and continued to add fuel to the fire without fear of death.

"Listen carefully, kid. Grandpa is talking to me about your parents. Ouch!!"

Xiang Xiu'an picked up a plate of braised pork on the table and smashed it hard on Wu Wendong's head with a "bang". The thick and large white porcelain plate was broken into pieces.

A plate of steaming braised pork with thick red sauce poured all over Wu Wendong's head and face.

The young men who had gathered together before were afraid of being implicated, so they scattered far away at once.

Wu Wendong was stunned by this blow, but it was the scalding hot sauce that woke him up a little.

"Oh! His head is broken!" Someone in the crowd watching the excitement shouted.

Wu Wendong reached out and touched his forehead, his hands were all wet and warm.

He took his hand down and saw bright red blood mixed with greasy soup. Only then did he feel the salty juice seeping into the wound.

"Hiss!" Wu Wendong was in so much pain that tears were about to come out.

There were some fearless people who had long been fed up with Wu Wendong's behavior. Seeing him being humiliated, they burst out laughing and said happily: "Look, does his head look like a candied haws?"

"Don't say that, I don't want to eat candied haws this year!"

Amidst the laughter, Wu Wendong felt both pain and anger, and he directly drew out the sword from his waist.

The Jin Dynasty conquered the world with military force, and the men in the capital also liked to carry swords. Wu Wendong's grandfather was a military general, and he inherited the family tradition and never let go of his sword.

With a "swish", the sword was unsheathed, and the cold light was dazzling, causing the people around who were watching the fun to step back a little.

Some people were afraid that things would get out of hand, so they only dared to stand far away and advise Wu Wendong: "Mr. Wu, don't be impulsive! Hurting someone is no joke!"

Wu Wendong, with his bloody and greasy head, gnashed his teeth at the man and said, "Why are you taking sides? He was the first to start it!"

Everyone: "."

If you didn't have a foul mouth, would they have attacked you?

Wu Wendong stared at Xiang Xiu'an with hatred in his eyes, then rushed over with sword in hand.

Shuanglu ran all the way to the backyard. Today, his wife had entered the palace, so he had to report the matter to the lady-in-waiting.

At the same time, a familiar "ding dong" sound rang in Xia Mang's mind.

'System task released, host, please go to the front yard banquet hall immediately to find Xiang Xiu'an and help him escape danger! '

'System task released, host, please go to the front yard banquet hall immediately to find Xiang Xiu'an and help him escape danger! '

The system repeated the task twice in a row, and even Xia Mang could hear that it was urgent.

Before I could ask what happened, Maner ran in from outside with a half-eaten chicken leg in her hand.

When she saw Xia Mang, she said, "Mang Xia, something happened in the yard ahead. Our prince got into a fight with someone!"

Xia Mang: "Who told you that?"

Man'er took a bite of the chicken leg and said, "I was right there at the time. They pushed the table over, and I even picked up a chicken leg to eat!"

Glancing at Man'er's excited face, Xia Mang patted her shoulder silently: "Okay, I get it, go play."
