Something’s Wrong With My Wife-Chapter 19: Her Name Is Xia Chan

Chengguo Residence.

Before dawn, the butler and the other servants had swept and cleaned the entire residence.

Every concrete slab was spotless.

The flowerbeds were adorned with various flowers and lush greenery.

In front of outsiders, the Luo family put on a glamorous and righteous front.

They did not care about the illegitimate son who was sent out.

But today, members of the Qin family were also coming.

In Mo City, the Qin residence used to be on par with the Chengguo Residence.

Although the Qin family had a declining status, no one dared to underestimate them.

Besides, the Luo family was in the wrong with regard to the marriage.

Thus, today, they had to show outsiders that the Luo family had attached great importance to Luo Qingzhou's return visit so that it would not incur gossip.

After Luo Yannian ate breakfast, he sat in the hall waiting for the Qin family.

First Madam went to the backyard to speak to her second son.

Luo Yu woke up very early today.

After practicing a few sets of fist techniques in the martial arts arena, he went back to take a shower and changed into a set of new clothes.

Then, he followed his mother to the front hall.

Luo Yannian frowned slightly when he saw Luo Yu.

Madam Wang hurriedly went forward and said, "Yu'er is just here to take a look, Old Master. There won't be any problems."

Luo Yu lowered his head and said respectfully, "Father, don't worry. Miss Qin is already married to Qingzhou, so she won't even spare a glance at me. Besides, I haven't met her before. You don't need to introduce me. I'll just watch from the side."

Luo Yannian frowned. "What do you want to see? To see someone make a fool of himself?"

Luo Yu's eyes flickered. He lowered his head and said, "After all, Miss Qin was once engaged to me, but now she's married to someone else. If I don't take a look at her, I'll still think about her from time to time. Father, don't worry. I know how important the preparation for the exam is. No matter how she looks, I only wish to take one glance at her. That way, I'll be able to let go of her."

Madam Wang, who was at the side, also persuaded softly, "Old Master, let Yu'er take a look. Otherwise, Yu'er won't be able to compose himself and cultivate today. It's said that the eldest daughter of the Qin family is a fool. She doesn't know how to speak or smile, and no one has seen her go out. I'm sure that the Qin family is in a hurry to marry her because they hope that this joyous event will hasten her recovery. Just let Yu'er take a look at her. After that, he won't think about her anymore."

Luo Yannian was silent for a moment. He did not say anything else.

Not long after.

Butler Wang entered by the door and reported respectfully, "Third Young Master and the rest are here. They're already outside."

Luo Yannian said, "Let them in."

Butler Wang lowered his head and left.

Luo Yu's gaze settled on the spotless courtyard outside He put on a polite smile that he had on when welcoming guests.

He looked cultured and refined.

But soon, that smile froze.

Butler Wang led the newlyweds in from the entrance.

From afar, Luo Yu's gaze suddenly landed on the girl in the white dress. His heart seemed to stop at the sight of her, and he could not tear his eyes away from her.

The golden morning sun shone on the girl.

What a stunningly beautiful face!

What a heavenly temperament! She was like a divine being that had descended upon the mortal world.

Her skin was white as snow, and she was as pretty as a picture. Her ebony hair cascaded down her back, and she had a willowy figure. This woman was like a divine being who had hailed from paradise. She was so beautiful that she was like an illusion conjured up in front of his eyes.

At this moment, the maidservants and servants standing respectfully in the courtyard fell silent. It was as if they had been frozen. They widened their eyes and stared at the beautiful woman, unmoving.

The entire Chengguo Residence was dead silent.

Madam Wang was also stunned for a few seconds before she suddenly snapped back to her senses. She looked at her son and the muscles around her eyes twitched.

Luo Qingzhou led Qin Jianjia slowly into the hall, then walked to Luo Yannian and knelt down.

When Butler Wang scolded in a low voice, the maidservant snapped back to her senses and hurriedly walked forward with some tea. However, her eyes were still glued to that beautiful girl in white.

"Father, please have some tea."

Luo Qingzhou picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Luo Yannian.

The eldest daughter of the Qin family was still standing beside him with an indifferent expression. She had no intention of kneeling.

The hall was silent.

Luo Yannian waited for a moment before reaching out to take the tea. He symbolically took a sip and placed it aside. A complicated expression appeared on his face, but he did not say anything.

Luo Qingzhou brought another cup of tea to Madam Wang and bowed. "First Madam, please have some tea."

The corners of Madam Wang's eyes twitched. She reached out to take the tea but did not drink it immediately. Instead, she looked at the girl beside him with a dark expression and suddenly sneered. "You don't know the rules?"

Qin Jianjia looked at her indifferently. She did not say anything or move. She continued to stand there, completely disregarding the First Madam.

"How impudent of you!"

Madam Wang suddenly lashed out at Qin Jianjia and splashed the tea on her.

However, Luo Qingzhou, who had been staring at her all this while, was already prepared. The moment Madam Wang raised the teacup, he suddenly stood up, protecting the girl beside him.

Whoosh!

The boiling tea was splashed onto his face. The tea droplets rolled down his face and neck, soaking his robe.

He stood in front of the girl without moving.

Madam Wang still held onto the teacup, and she was momentarily stunned. She eyed Luo Qingzhou with a strange expression of suspicious surprise.

In her impression, this young man definitely did not have the guts to do this.

This was the first time that the Qin family's Young Miss had come to the Chengguo Residence, yet she was disrespectful to her elders.

No one would dare say anything even if she splashed tea on her.

Even Old Master did not stop her.

However, to Madam Wang's surprise, the illegitimate son dared stand up for this insolent girl. From what she remembered, when he was still staying in the Chengguo Residence, he was always timid and cowardly.

She felt that it was somewhat absurd and incredulous.

He had just married into the Qin family and wanted to rebel now that he had a backer.

"Father, the tea has been served. We still have something to do, so we'll take our leave first."

Luo Qingzhou did not wipe the tea off his face, nor did he look at First Madam again. He cupped his hands at Luo Yannian, who had a complicated expression but remained silent. Then, he reached out to hold the hand of the girl behind him and walked out of the door.

Madam Wang finally reacted and said angrily, "How dare you! How dare you!"

Unusually noisy footsteps sounded from the courtyard.

Then, a burly man in a black martial arts suit rushed over. He had more than ten guards following behind him. All of them had sabers or swords attached to their waist belts.

Madam Wang had a ferocious expression as she said angrily, "Guard Wang! Without my instructions today, no one is allowed to leave the Chengguo Residence!"

"Yes!"

The brawny man pulled out the saber at his waist and looked at the newlyweds who walked out of the hall with a murderous look.

Swoosh!

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a cold glint suddenly flashed beside him. A sword instantly pierced through his neck.

The dignified guard of the Chengguo Residence, a burly man who was only one step away from advancing to a Martial Master, was unable to dodge in time and was killed.

His eyes widened. Still holding onto a saber, his mouth opened slightly, and his entire body froze.

He seemed to have died even before he could react!

The sword was pulled out of his body.

Blood instantly spurted out.

Guard Wang's body went limp and he dropped to his knees. Even till death, his hand was still tightly gripping the saber that had once brought him so much glory and prestige.

However, he could not swing his saber anymore.

The entire courtyard and hall were silent.

As for the sword-wielding girl, unknowingly, she returned the sword to its sheath.

Maybe because she had struck too fast or maybe because the sword was special, there was no blood on the blade at all.

She stood there with a cold look on her face as if she had never moved.

Her name was Xia Chan.

Guard Wang's throat was slit in one move.
