Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Dong Jialin grabbed the shopkeeper's collar and asked, "Where is the 'Future Guest'?"

The shopkeeper heard this and thought that he was here to teach the "future guest" a lesson. But the "future guest" was now working for the boss, and if he told the boss, wouldn't it ruin the boss's plan?

“Will you tell me or not?!” Dong Jialin clenched his other hand into a fist.

The shopkeeper was frightened and blurted out with his eyes closed: "Turn left upstairs and go to the third private room..."

Dong Jialin let him go and led his men upstairs.

When he arrived at the door and saw that Dong Jiafu's beard had been removed and her mouth was swollen, Dong Jialin's heart sank and he strode in.

"Afu, are you okay? Who did this?"

Dong Jiafu looked up and saw the scene at the door, then she remembered the agreement she had made with him.

"Don't worry, brother. I'm fine."

Dong Jialin turned his head in anger, and when he saw Qin Fangsui standing there and Du Manting sitting on a stool, he was stunned and asked, "Why are they here?"

He looked around, "Where is the boss here? Did he hurt you? Let me show you how I'm going to deal with him..."

Dong Jiafu tugged at his sleeve and said, "Second brother, second brother, Miss Qin is the boss here."

"Ah?" Dong Jialin thought he had misheard, "What did you say? Miss Qin is..."

Dong Jiafu nodded.

Dong Jialin glanced at Qin Fangsui and asked, "Did she cause the wound on your mouth?"

"It's me," Du Manting took the initiative to stand up and said, "Do you want to deal with me and fight with me?"

"What's wrong with you?" Dong Jialin was a little confused, pointing at her and Qin Fangsui, "Are you two ganging up to bully my sister?!"

Dong Jiafu looked at Dong Jialin's posture and felt that if they said "yes", he would really fight with them.

"Brother, this matter cannot be explained in a few words. Let's go first. I will explain it to you slowly when we get back."

Dong Jiafu pulled Dong Jialin away.

After they left, Du Manting looked at Qin Fangsui, "What do you want to say to me?"

Qin Fangsui said, "Just like you said before, I copied the business methods of Mingxin Teahouse and Haolin Bookstore, and I did it in a weird way, which made many people, including you, laugh at me."

"Why are you doing this?"

"I hate Dong Jiafu!" Qin Fangsui said with red eyes, "Brother Yan had originally agreed to get engaged to me, but because of her, the marriage is over. Now Brother Yan has drawn a line between us, and even the old lady doesn't want to see me anymore. All this is because of her!"

"Why can she be liked by Brother Yan? She also took the position that should belong to me and got engaged to Brother Yan. If she doesn't let me live a good life, I won't let her live a good life either!"

"I have invested a lot of money to open this teahouse and bookstore, just to make their business fail!"

Du Manting looked at her in surprise, and after a long while she spoke, "Are you still the Qin Fangsui I knew before? Why have you become like this? Cui Qiyan likes Dong Jiafu but not you, that's his problem, why are you blaming Dong Jiafu?"

"If it weren't for her, Brother Yan would marry me, and Duke Dingguo's Mansion would become a support for Yu'er and me. From now on, no one will dare to bully us siblings for having no parents..." Qin Fangsui's tears fell.

"You also said it was an if, but she just showed up. Don't you understand? Cui Qiyan said he wanted to marry you, but he doesn't like you at all. If it wasn't Dong Jiafu, it would be someone else. When he meets someone he likes, he will abandon you anyway."

After all, they are friends of many years. Seeing her crying, Du Manting was sad, but she still wanted to wake her up and make her understand.

Qin Fangsui asked with tears in her eyes: "Do you also think that I did something wrong?"

"Yes, you are wrong." Du Manting said bluntly, "No one will be your and Yu'er's support forever. The only one you can rely on is yourselves. Now that you have your family property back, why don't you manage it well? You have to spend so much money to fight with others to the death. How stupid!"

Qin Fangsui seemed to have been drained of all her strength, and she sat down dazed, holding onto the table.

"Think about it carefully." Du Manting sighed, turned and left.

Dong Jialin dismissed the people he had arranged for and got into the carriage with Dong Jiafu.

In the carriage, Dong Jiafu briefly told him what happened after entering the teahouse.

"I really didn't expect it..." Dong Jialin murmured. He didn't expect that the person behind the scenes they had been looking for would be Qin Fangsui, and he didn't expect that Du Manting would accidentally get involved.

"Second brother, it's my fault that I have implicated you." Dong Jiafu said.

"You have a wound on your mouth, stop talking," Dong Jialin blamed himself for being careless. He shouldn't have let her talk so much just now. "Don't say anything about getting involved or not. We are a family. I am your second brother. We should share weal and woe."

"Besides, this isn't your fault. It's all that Qin's fault... Never mind. Now that we know it's her, things will be easier in the future."

Dong Jiafu nodded. "I wanted to teach her a lesson, but now I can only wait and see if she will do anything weird in the future. Fortunately, this trip today was not in vain..."

The wound on her mouth was pulled, and Dong Jiafu subconsciously covered her mouth. Du Manting was indeed a martial artist, and her attack was really ruthless——

"It hurts again? Don't talk anymore. I'll take you to Hui'an Hall." Dong Jialin watched her in pain, unable to do anything, and just stood there anxiously.

When they arrived at the clinic, Dong Jialin sent her in and watched her apply the medicine herself.

Dong Jiafu had just applied the medicine and her mouth was numb. She mumbled, "Erguo..."

"Okay," Dong Jialin stopped him quickly, "Do you want me to leave first?"

Dong Jiafu nodded.

"You can't stay here anymore, I'll take you home."

Dong Jiafu quickly waved her hands.

Dong Jialin was helpless. "You are in this state, and you still want to treat people? You are still wearing men's clothes, and your face is painted... well, like that..."

He gestured at his face, not knowing how to describe Dong Jiafu's appearance at the moment. Anyway, it was not good-looking.

"If you don't want your patients to see you like this, come home with me."

Dong Jiafu was also anxious, so she found a pen and paper and wrote, "I will go back after my mouth is no longer swollen, otherwise my mother will be distressed when she sees me."

Dong Jialin thought so too. If his parents knew that he let Afu take the risk, he would definitely suffer the consequences.

"Then you stay here to recover, and I'll come and take you home later."

Dong Jiafu nodded again and waved her hand to signal him to get busy.

Dong Jialin then left the clinic and went to the teahouse.

At dusk, Cui Qiyan arrived at the clinic before Dong Jialin.

After asking the waiter and finding out that she was in the clinic and there were no patients inside, Cui Qiyan went over and knocked on the door.

Dong Jiafu thought it was Dong Jialin who came, so she got up, opened the door, and went home with him.

The door opened and both of them were stunned.

Cui Qiyan looked at her outfit, and then stared at the wound on her mouth, which had already subsided but was still slightly red, with a wave of emotion hidden in his eyes, "What happened?"
