Chapter 17 Rage Soars to the Sky
"Slap!" Zhang Jiao slapped Wang Qiang across the face, glared at him with her beautiful eyes, pointed at Sheng Lan with one finger, and said angrily, "You call a whore 'sister-in-law'?"
Wang Qiang pouted, feeling truly wronged! If she doesn't call me "sister-in-law," what am I supposed to call her?
"Bitch! Who are you calling a bitch?"
"Young Master Qiang, where did this wild boy come from? He has no manners!"
"Try calling me a bitch again? I'll tear you apart!"
The girls at Zuihualou were immediately enraged. Zhang Jiao dared to insult their good sister like that, and the girls immediately ganged up on her.
Sheng Lan stared coldly at Zhang Jiao. She was puzzled. How could the master take such a woman as a concubine! How could this ill-mannered brat be worthy of the master!
"Hmph!" Zhang Jiao snorted coldly and kicked the table leg. "Crack!" The table leg broke off, and the table with only three legs fell over with a "thud".
"Oh no! Murder!" Peach Blossom cried out, wiping away her tears as she recounted the tragedy.
"Mama! Go quickly and call the servant! We can't let that wild boy run rampant in our Drunken Flower Pavilion!"
In ancient brothels, most employed a few servants to guard the premises and deal with drunken troublemakers. When the girls saw Zhang Jiao looking fierce and breaking a table leg with a single kick, they quickly tried to call for a servant to help.
"Sister-in-law! Don't be angry!" Wang Qiang quickly comforted Zhang Jiao.
"What happened?" Wang Wenzhou was resting in bed when he heard the commotion downstairs. When he went down, he saw that all the girls in the Drunken Flower Pavilion were pale with fright.
"It's okay! You eat quickly. After you finish eating, I still have to take the food box back!" Zhang Jiao said irritably.
Wang Wenzhou waved to Sheng Lan and said, "Lazy Lan, come upstairs for dinner."
Zhang Jiao was already furious. It was bad enough that her grandfather had betrothed her to such an ugly, fat man as a concubine. But the fat man was shameless enough to go to the No Return Restaurant, order food, and then refuse to pay. Her grandfather, however, cheerfully said it was fine and even ordered her to bring him the food.
Zhang Jiao was an unmarried virgin, though her carefree personality was like a boy's. But at the end of the day, she was still a girl. It was understandable for a girl to deliver food to her fiancé, but the delivery location was a brothel. How could Zhang Jiao not be angry?
Upon arriving at the brothel, Wang Qiang immediately called the young prostitute "sister-in-law"! What angered Zhang Jiao even more was that the fat man actually invited the young prostitute to dinner right in front of her. Zhang Jiao wanted nothing more than to beat the fat man to death. However, remembering her grandfather's words that a woman should obey her husband after marriage, she took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed her anger.
Zhang Jiao strode up the stairs, glared fiercely at Wang Wenzhou, and shouted, "Don't go too far! This food is for you, not for those little sluts in the brothel!"
Wang Wenzhou frowned. "I truly regret it! I shouldn't have agreed to marry you that day! We didn't even make an appointment, and now I have a cheap wife! And look what's happened! We're not even married yet, and she's already trying to discipline me!"
Zhang Jiao turned around and glared at Wang Qiang, saying irritably, "Xiao Qiang, hurry up! Bring the food box up!"
Sheng Lan was just touched that the master even remembered to invite her to eat with him, but now she felt very sad. Judging from the master's expression, he seemed a little afraid of his wife! Although the wild boy was only the master's betrothed concubine, at least he still had a formal title.
Sheng Lan was merely a courtesan. She longed to marry Wang Wenzhou as a concubine, but this was only a fantasy. She knew that it was extremely difficult for a courtesan to marry a scholar with official rank. Moreover, the man in question was no ordinary scholar, but rather the descendant of the Earl of Xinjian, a true noble family of the Ming Dynasty.
"There's so much food, Xiaoqiang and I can't finish it all. Let Lanlan eat with us, otherwise it'll all go to waste!" Wang Wenzhou said with a smile.
"Hmph!" Zhang Jiao snorted coldly, saying irritably, "Even if you feed the dogs the rest of the food, you wouldn't give it to a bitch!"
"How can you talk like that, Jiaojiao? Can't we talk properly?" Wang Wenzhou was very annoyed. This cheap wife of his kept calling her a "little bitch," she was just too much of a tomboy.
"Go eat!" Zhang Jiao gave Wang Wenzhou a push.
"Hey!"
Despite weighing over 200 pounds, Wang Wen was pushed so hard by Zhang Jiao that he stumbled. It has to be said that Zhang Jiao is indeed a trained fighter and has real skills.
Wang Wenzhou gave Sheng Lan a wry smile and a wink. "Sorry, Sheng Lan! I really can't afford to mess with this cheap wife." Wang Wenzhou had witnessed Zhang Jiao's skills that day and knew he couldn't beat her. Besides, although Wang Wenzhou was a conman, he was also a chauvinist. He would only fight with girls in bed, never actually hit them.
"Sigh!" Sheng Lan understood Wang Wenzhou's meaning and sighed. The master still liked her, but he was afraid of his wife. She still wanted to marry him, so she had to think of a good way, otherwise how could she enter the family?
"Hmph!" Peach Blossom snorted and said, "Sister Winter Frost, let's go to a restaurant to eat. We don't care about her food!"
"The food at Buguilou isn't even the best in Hanshan County! What's there to brag about?"
The girls all tried to comfort Sheng Lan and took her out to eat.
When Wang Wenzhou returned to his room, Zhang Jiao, with a long face, opened the dining room door and took out food.
"Bang!" Zhang Jiao slammed the last plate of braised carp onto the table and said irritably, "Eat up!"
"Hmm!" Wang Wenzhou nodded, looking at the table full of food. He was really hungry; he had started running early that morning and had been running for two hours straight. But he didn't want to eat much. Oh well, he had to lose weight! How could he sleep with his goddess if he couldn't control his mouth?
"Xiaoqiang, eat up!" Wang Wenzhou waved to Wang Qiang.
Wang Qiang picked up his chopsticks and began to eat heartily, saying as he ate, "Mmm... Sister-in-law, Grandpa's stir-fried mutton with scallions is truly authentic!"
Everyone likes to hear compliments, Zhang Jiao smiled slightly.
Wang Wenzhou picked up a few bites of food, ate a few mouthfuls, then put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm full."
"Hmm?" Zhang Jiao was suspicious. She had witnessed the fat man's appetite the other day. What's wrong with him today? He's full after eating so little? No! The fat man is definitely upset because she didn't let that little bitch come up to eat!
Zhang Jiao asked irritably, "Is the food not good?"
"Not bad!" Wang Wenzhou teased Zhang Jiao, who had a pouty face, "Jiaojiao, why are you so unhappy? Give me a smile."
"You...you're shameless!" Zhang Jiao was furious!
"Slap!" Zhang Jiao slapped Wang Wenzhou across the face, angrily shouting, "Wang Wenzhou, you've gone too far! I'm a respectable woman! Your betrothed! How dare you treat me like a whore from a brothel!"
"..." Wang Wenzhou looked completely bewildered.
Wang Wenzhou was stunned. What was going on? He was just joking around, teasing everyone. When did he start treating him like a prostitute?
"I'll fight you to the death!" Zhang Jiao roared and lunged at Wang Wenzhou.
Zhang Jiao could no longer suppress her anger. Everything else was secondary. "Give me a smile!" These were the words she'd spoken to a brothel prostitute! Her future husband was treating her like a lowly prostitute—she couldn't bear this humiliation!
