Chapter 604: Chapter 608: Scandal Queen (Part 9)

In her previous life, in the eyes of outsiders, the two venerable ancestors of the Marquis Mansion had harmoniously played their qin and zither together for a lifetime, truly achieving a lifelong partnership.

But only Qin Qing herself knew how difficult it had been for her.

From the first day she took the position of the Marchioness, she could not make a single misstep.

To others, it seemed Marquis Lang Erping was extremely considerate toward her, but people didn’t know how hard she tried.

She diligently pleased Lang Erping, liking what he liked, and disliking what he disliked...

Not until she was past fifty, surrounded by her children and grandchildren, did her situation slightly improve.

At least, for the sake of her filial children and grandchildren, the man who had shared her pillow for a lifetime wouldn’t reminisce about his deceased Qingqing whenever she did something slightly against his wishes.

Regarding Su Li, the Marquis Mansion’s former Marchioness, Qin Qing felt both fear and disgust.

Initially, when her brother had risen from a mere soldier to the Marquis’s right-hand man, their family’s life had slightly improved.

Following her brother, she too had once seen the Marquis’s former Marchioness.

That day, Su Li appeared hand-in-hand with the Marquis, her elegance and splendor attracting envious stares.

At first glance, she envied and was jealous of this fortunate woman.

Fate was so unjust—both were women, yet she struggled in the mire while another easily obtained everything others could only dream of.

The hard-to-come-by perfect lover, a wealthy life, a prestigious status—she had it all.

At that moment, Qin Qing thought, if only she could replace Su Li.

However, this thought was merely a fleeting one in her heart, and she knew very well that such ideas were just whimsical.

Su Li, even her own brother who was biased against women, would praise her intelligence and unmatched bravery... In her heart, there was a natural fear of Su Li.

Compared to Su Li, she felt like she was crawling on the ground, looking up at her, the most humble one.

Next to her bright moon-like radiance, she could only hide in the dark shadows, quietly envying.

But who would have thought, this formidable woman would eventually fall?

This gave rise to an unmatched ambition in her heart.

Ultimately, she did succeed.

Having been the Marchioness for decades, Qin Qing always felt she should be confident enough to say she was not inferior to Su Li.

But just now, when that familiar face appeared in her view, a sudden sense of inferiority shriveled her heart.

Before the other’s gaze fell on her, she instinctively hid, her heart pounding furiously.

But upon seeing the photo in her phone, Qin Qing’s eyes inexplicably flickered.

Over by Lang Erping, his rude pestering of a lady upset many "good people."

The first young man to step forward first gave Su Li a gentle smile, then stretched out his long arm to shield the beauty, his expression stern as he righteously criticized Lang Erping, "A true gentleman would never act disrespectfully toward a lady."

"Sir, can you not see that this lady does not appreciate your attention?"

"If you continue like this, I have both the right and the duty to turn you over to the police."

Lang Erping looked at the man whose whole body radiated pheromones, his facial features almost distorted.

A torrent of jealousy enveloped him, fueling his anger.

He pointed loudly at the man blocking his way and yelled, "The issues between my wife and I are none of your business, outsider."

The righteous young man immediately became more vigilant, "Sir, I pity your poor character. You even fabricate such baseless lies on the spot."

"This lady, we all saw her getting out of the taxi...it was you who inexplicably harassed her..."

"People like you, I think the police should handle it..."

The young man hadn’t finished speaking when someone nearby loudly shouted, "Good job, brother, I’ve already called the police."

Seeing the situation escalating, Lang Erping suppressed the sour feelings in his heart and said pitifully to Su Li, "Qingqing, it’s all my fault.... don’t be mad at me...."

Had it been the original owner here, she might have felt some softening and stirring emotions.

In her previous life, every time there was a conflict between the original owner and Lang Erping, regardless of right or wrong, as soon as Lang Erping showed this pitiful look, the original owner would soften.

Lang Erping was her karmic entanglement, impossible to escape or avoid.

But now, Su Li looked at him with disgust, glancing dismissively, "Sir, I don’t know you, please don’t harass me."

With Su Li’s words, the previously uncertain young man gained confidence, and even arrogantly gave Lang Erping a few disdainful glares.

Lang Erping trembled with rage, struggling even more to accept Su Li’s attitude.

The indifference in her eyes deeply wounded his heart.

Lang Erping: ".... Qingqing, you...do you not remember, it’s...it’s okay, we can start over...."

Lang Erping couldn’t believe that his Qingqing could be so cruel to him. The only explanation could be that she, unlike them, didn’t carry the memories of their past lives.

It must be so....

But that’s alright, Qingqing loved him so much in their last life, and he had confidence that he could make her fall for him again in this life too.

Just as Lang Erping was gathering courage to break free from his despondent emotions, he could never have expected that when he looked up again, the very person he yearned for had already walked far away.

He desperately wanted to chase after her, but the "roadblock" was too fierce. Not only that, but a few stern men in foreign police uniform swiftly approached.

While Lang Erping was still bewildered, they pushed him down and subdued him.

Witnessing all this from behind a pillar, Qin Qing felt an inexplicable thrill.

She quickly recognized the inappropriateness of her emotions and suppressed them deep inside.

After all, the Marquis was her husband with whom she had spent a lifetime. Even though her ascendancy involved schemes, she sincerely loved the Marquis.

They shared a bond.

Lang Erping was bailed out of the jail cell by Sister Xue, who had paid a hefty bail fee, and this seriously irritated her.

Lang Erping walked behind despondently, silently enduring the harsh curses from the other party.

Sister Xue had just vented her anger, but upon turning around, she found Lang Erping distracted.

The anger that had just subsided instantly erupted like a volcano.

"You’ve done it now, I can’t even help you... The investors are very dissatisfied with you, and it looks like you are facing a huge compensation soon."
