When Cao Xi was cleaning the woodshed, he heard someone knocking on the door and got up to open the door.
In front of the door is a woman in gorgeous clothes. Her appearance shows that she has a good background.
Cao Xi: "Excuse me, are you?"
Mrs. Cui looked at Cao Xi with disdain in her eyes. This little woman was young, in good shape, and pretty. If she was obedient and reduced to a concubine, it would be a good way to win people's hearts.
Cao Xi felt uncomfortable seeing him, and thought over and over again that he was sure he didn't know this person.
"Madam, who are you looking for?"
"You are Qin Zhao's wife, right?"
Mrs. Cui pushed Cao Xi away and walked into the courtyard. She covered her nose with a handkerchief and looked around. She didn't see Qin Zhao, which made her feel more confident.
Cao Xi has met many domineering and unreasonable people over the years, and this is the first time someone has broken into his home.
Cao Xi looked ugly, blocked Mrs. Cui with his body, and asked coldly, "I wonder who the lady is?"
Seeing her strong movements, Mrs. Cui smiled contemptuously and said mockingly, "Country woman, ignorant and fearless"
"Get out, don't force me to do it"
"Oh, my husband, the magistrate of Qizhou City, do you still want to fight with me?" Mrs. Cui looked contemptuously, pushed Cao Xi away, and sat on a chair under the jujube tree.
"The emperor has committed the same crime as the common people, and Mrs. Zhizhou has committed the crime of breaking into private houses. She acts tyrannically in the name of her husband and is not afraid of causing trouble." Cao Xi retorted without giving in.
"Unbridled" Mrs. Cui was about to get angry, but then she regained her composure.
"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, so you and Qin Zhao make peace."
Mrs. Cui looked at Cao Xi's dirty hands and the waiter in rags and linen clothes and said, "I'll give you fifty taels of silver."
"Ha" fifty taels, Cao Xi laughed angrily.
"Mrs. Cui, you are crazy. You broke into my house and asked me to reconcile with my husband. Are you okay?" Cao Xi couldn't believe her ears.
"One hundred taels" Mrs. Cui continues to increase the price
"Country woman, a hundred taels can buy your life."
"Mrs. Cui, if you go out without your brain, go home and get it. Don't bring trouble to your husband."
Mrs. Cui was a little irritated when she saw that Cao Xi was not getting along well. "To tell you the truth, Qin Zhao fell in love with my daughter at the banquet, but due to your earlier kindness, I couldn't break up with you. This is why I need to step in to solve some problems." It's better for us women to communicate, what do you think?"
The more Cao Xi listened, the angrier she became. It was because the man who liked her came to rob her. She looked around for something to take advantage of.
.....................
When Qin Zhao came back from an outing, he saw a circle of people surrounding his house.
When the neighbor saw him, he rushed forward and said, "Qin Juren, you are back. Your wife has been bullied."
When Qin Zhao heard that Cao Xi was being bullied, he was furious. He opened the door and saw Cao Xi chasing a woman with a stick as thick as a child's arm.
Mrs. Cui didn't expect that Cao Xi would really take action. She turned pale and rolled and dodged. The maid stood in front of Mrs. Cui and received several sticks. She screamed in pain and wanted to hide but didn't dare.
Qin Zhao stopped Cao Xi and stood in front of her, "I wonder why this lady came to my house?"
Mrs. Cui recovered from her fright, pointed at Cao Xi and shouted to Qin Zhao, "Shrew, shrew, divorce her, divorce her immediately"
Qin Zhao's face was as black as charcoal and his words were as cold as frost, "Mrs., could it be that she has gone crazy and ran to my house to call for divorce?"
"I am Mrs. Zhizhou. As long as you divorce her, I will marry your daughter to you and ensure you a bright future."
Mrs. Cui was also dizzy with anger and regretted it as soon as she finished speaking, but her momentum could not be lowered. She straightened her clothes and adjusted her breathing.
"You went to Zhizhou Mansion and met a girl in a pink dress. Do you still remember?"
Qin Zhao thought of the disgusting look in his eyes and felt sick to his stomach.
Seeing his expression, Mrs. Cui knew that he was thinking about it. She said proudly, "That's my daughter. She is younger and more beautiful than your wife." Mrs. Cui gouged out Cao Xi's eyes.
"Mrs. Cui is careful to say that others have nothing to do with me. I only have my wife in my heart, and my wife loves to watch more than her husband. I also ask Mrs. Cui to leave quickly and not to lose the face of Zhizhou." Qin Zhao walked to the door. Make an action of asking.
When Mrs. Cui saw that Qin Zhao was so ignorant, she blamed herself for being blind. She took a fancy to such a guy who didn't know how to make progress, and left in anger with her maid.
After the courtyard door was closed, Cao Xi threw the wooden stick aside and said, "Isn't Cui Zhizhou mentally ill? He married such a crazy woman."
"I'm afraid he doesn't know what happened today."
Cao Xi pinched her waist and glared at Qin Zhao, "Tell me, how did you and the eldest daughter of the Zhizhou family meet?"
Qin Zhao pulled Cao Xi over and said aggrievedly, "Madam, am I unclean?"
"What?" Cao Xi was shocked
"Daughter Cui Zhizhou, the way she looks at me is like snot sticking to my body. I have nightmares at night."
Qin Zhao wanted to hang on Cao Xi, rubbing his hands on Cao Xi's waist and eyes.
Cao Xi's legs felt weak after being touched, but his eyes when looking at Qin Zhao were tough.
"How many times have I told you that women out there are like wolves and tigers, and they only like you with a beautiful face and a strong body?"
Cao Xi was helpless. Having such a husband was indeed more tiring than other women.
Cao Xi glanced at Qin Zhao fiercely and turned around to finish the unfinished work. Seeing that Cao Xi was upset, Qin Zhao did not dare to say a word and followed Cao Xi in and out like a frightened bird.
Qin Zhao stayed low and waited on him carefully, which made Cao Xi a little tired. "When you go out and wander around, don't dangle in front of my eyes. It will make you upset."
Qin Zhao was pushed out of the door and called his wife through the door panel, but the closed courtyard door was still not open. Qin Zhao touched his nose and he was driven out of the house.

"What did I say? I told you to pretend, but you refused. Now trouble is coming."
Chiqige was shaking her small fan and lying on the rocking chair, swaying from time to time.
Qin Zhao: "I said you are fanning in the middle of winter. Isn't it cold?" He has long been displeased with him, and he still dares to make sarcastic remarks here.
Qi Qige: "Even if I shake myself and have a stroke, it's still better than you having people block the door of your house and divorce your wife."
Qin Zhao was already upset and couldn't see that he was carefree, so he went up and overturned Qiqige's rocking chair. Qiqige was pinned under the chair and it took a long time to climb out.
The servants around wanted to laugh but didn't dare, and everyone's face was red from suppressing it.
"Okay, you country bumpkin, how dare you fight with me?"
Qi Qige rolled up her sleeves and went to fight with Qin Zhao, but as soon as she squatted down, Qin Zhao pushed her back. After repeating this several times, Qi Qige was so angry that her eyes turned red, so she simply sat on the ground and quarreled with Qin Zhao.
"I'm going to vent my anger. If you can, why don't you go and push Cui Zhizhou to the ground? Go and go." Qi Qige stretched her neck and raised her head to scold Qin Zhao, trying to be as childish as possible.
Qin Zhao hugged his arms and looked down at him, "You are not beautiful either. You will be next. Mrs. Cui will not let go of such a handsome man."
"You are dreaming, come to me, don't even look at my performance at the banquet, I am not like some country bumpkin." Qi Qige flicked the dust off her body, crossed her legs and waved her small fan.
Qin Zhao stretched out his hand to pull him up, "I'm not afraid of getting hemorrhoids even in the winter."
Qi Qige used his strength to stand up, put his arm around Qin Zhao's neck, and tucked Qin Zhao's head under his arm. He didn't let go until Qin Zhao gave in.
The two argued for a while before giving up.
Qi Qige: "This problem is easy to solve. As long as you and I eat, drink and have fun for a month, the eldest lady in charge will let you go."
Qin Zhao looked at him sideways, obviously he didn't agree with this method.
Qi Qige put her head in front of him, "If not, let's go. Anyway, we will try it out soon. Let's go to the capital first to familiarize ourselves with the environment."
"How many months have you known each other?" Qin Zhao pushed his head away.
Qi Qige: "What's the matter? It's a long journey and we have to walk for a while."
Qin Zhao: "I don't think Cui Zhizhou will do anything wrong."
Qi Qige took the tea cup and took a sip: "Of course he won't do anything random. After all, you are also a scholar."
"But I'm not sure what his wife will do." Qi Qige calmed down and looked at Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao said, "I'll tell Cao Xi when I go back." He planned to go by himself, but it seemed that the plan was going to go to waste.
