Chapter 5275: 5.1027 Troublesome

"Pfft, hahahahaha!" Qi Xuanxuan, who had been hiding and watching the commotion for ages, suddenly leaped out, slapping her thighs and roaring with laughter.

How much coptis did Qiao Qiao put in that qi and blood tonic for Duanmu? Enough to make Duanmu's face an emoji of bitterness.

Qiao Qiao is so funny, hahahahaha...

She's using this bitter medicine to punish Duanmu Qing for acting on his own and not valuing himself.

Qi Xuanxuan looked at Duanmu with sympathy, raising her hand to pat his shoulder. "Remember to take it every day until Qiao Qiao tells you to stop. Otherwise, be careful, Qiao Qiao might ignore you."

Duanmu Qing's face was completely crumpled.

His gaze followed Qi Xuanxuan's laughing figure, his eyes filled with a mix of grief and indignation.

What kind of useless teammate is this, even making fun of him? So hateful!

Qin Hong casually swept all the items off the low table, glaring angrily at a guard who was reporting information.

"Are you sure?"

"This is a message from Lord Qin Cao. Absolutely certain," the guard quickly replied, head bowed.

"Lord Qin Cao also said that he hasn't fully recovered his body yet and has temporarily returned to Shadow City with Miss Mu Jinghong's Heavenly Ladder Talisman to recuperate from his injuries."

"Idiot!" Qin Hong cursed furiously. "Idiots, all of them!"

All of them are idiots; they can't even handle a small matter. What can he possibly use them for?!

The guard kept his head down, silent. At a time like this, saying anything wrong would incur the Family Head's punishment.

It's safer to say less and make fewer mistakes.

"What have the Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master been doing lately??"

"The Eldest Young Master has been listening to music and watching dances in the separate villa, with Miss Ran serving by his side."

"Heh." Qin Hong didn't get angry; instead, he laughed, his entire being on the verge of explosive rage.

"He certainly lives a carefree life!"

The guard dared not speak again. What could he say? If Lord Qin Cao were here, he would still dare to side with Family Head Qin and curse the Eldest Young Master for being so carefree.

As a mere guard, he wouldn't dare to speak too much. Whether he spoke more or less, it would be wrong; saying nothing was the safest.

"What about the Second Young Master??"

"Subordinate has not been able to ascertain the Second Young Master's whereabouts recently." The guard's head drooped even lower.

As expected, as soon as he spoke, Family Head Qin slapped him across the face.

The guard secretly cursed his bad luck, letting the momentum of the slap carry him to the doorway, quickly rolling twice on the ground to show that he truly accepted the punishment.

"Get out!" Qin Hong was furious at his appearance and roared at him.

The guard breathed a sigh of relief, quickly clutched the crooked hat on his head, and rushed out in a panic.

"All of them are troublesome!" Qin Hong angrily slammed an inkstone on the table, a surge of fury passing through his heart.

He sent Mu Xiaoxue to handle the matter, and this is how she managed it.

This girl's ability to handle affairs truly couldn't compare to her mother's.

One was in the heavens, the other on the earth, truly making him utterly frustrated.

Qin Hong angrily sat down, flinging his robe open. He intended to pick up the teapot but then realized that all the items on the table had been thrown to the floor by him.

"You scoundrels!" He slammed the table and shouted outside, "Are all the people outside dead? Hurry up and clean this place for this family head!"

Two trembling maids came in, bowed their heads, and quickly tidied the place, then brewed a fresh pot of tea for Family Head Qin.

Qin Hong's face was cold. He drank half a pot of tea, getting angrier the more he thought about it.

With a "bang," he put down the teacup, then got up and walked out.
