Shi Residence:
Chu Qing, Madam Jin, and Madam Shi stared at one another wide-eyed.
Madam Jin pursed her lips, visibly displeased.
Because:
She had heard that Chu Qing had returned.
But he had gone to the Cui family's Blacksmith Shop to fuss over the Golden Toads.
She did not care about that sort of thing.
After all... men put their careers first.
However... she soon received word that Hua Yu, who had been with him, had parted ways with him as soon as they entered the city.
That left her thoroughly dissatisfied:
"You were alone with a woman for so long, and you still didn't win her over?"
"I wanted her to be my daughter-in-law!"
That was why... she did not give Chu Qing a pleasant look.
As for Madam Shi, she stared at Chu Qing and sneered the whole time.
Chu Qing soothed Madam Jin.
Seeing Madam Shi acting like this, he immediately sneered. "What? Want another beating?"
Madam Shi sneered and said disdainfully, "Coachman... mind your attitude when you speak to me!"
Chu Qing laughed heartily, pinched Madam Shi's cheek, and said, "Go change into another outfit and sing a tune for me."
Madam Shi sneered, saying contemptuously, "Coachman... you are not qualified to listen."
Chu Qing pinched her cheek until it turned bright red.
"If you still won't go, I'll throw you out onto the street."
A flash of excitement passed through Madam Jin's eyes:
"When the time comes, I'll help you throw her out!"
Madam Shi said thoughtfully, "No one has ever dared to throw me out onto the street."
"You... want to try?"
Chu Qing was horrified at the sight.
This Madam Shi... her temperament really was beyond all reason.
He did not dare force her, afraid that Madam Shi would actually cover her face
