After putting on the mask, Tang Huaixiao left the house. Two guards came over at the moment.
Tang Huaixiao asked calmly. “Has he left?”
“No.”
The guard in black paused for a moment before answering.
Tang Huaixiao stopped in her tracks. “Yue Ying, Yue Ye, there are still four days left. I don’t care what you do. Chase him away. 1 don’t want to see him still around here on the 20th of March.”
“Miss, Shi Jiu is different from the others. He’s serious.”
…..
Yue Ying looked at Tang Huaixiao and responded solemnly. All these years, the Tang family had been mocked by others, and the Eldest Miss they respected the most had been made fun of. No matter how strong Eldest Miss was, she was still a girl.
They had risked their lives to save Shi Jiu. He was willing to marry Tang Huaixiao. He was sincere about it. All the members of the Tang family hoped that Shi Jiu would be Tang Huaixiao’s husband and love her with the gentleness of a husband.
However, Tang Huaixiao kept pushing Shi Jiu away.
The wedding was just around the corner, but she still wanted to force Shi Jiu to leave.
Yue Ying was a little puzzled, and so was Yue Ye. “Miss, in my opinion, let nature take its course. Shi Jiu has never thought of leaving. Don’t push him away.”
Tang Huaixiao clenched her fists. “If 1 want him to leave, he has to leave! If he dares not to leave, 1’11 kill him on the day of the wedding!”
Yue Ying frowned. Tang Huaixiao had already walked out angrily after leaving her words.
She strode forward and quickly arrived at a courtyard. The two servants guarding outside bowed. “Eldest Miss.”
Tang Huaixiao asked coldly. “Where is he? What is he doing?”
The servant replied reverently. “Young Master Shi Jiu is painting in the study.”
Tang Huaixiao strode in with a cold face and went straight to the study. She kicked open the door with a bang, looking extremely rude and violent.
The person who was painting was obviously shocked. The brush in his hand dropped to the ground. He turned around and saw Tang Huaixiao. He said with a smile, “Huaixiao, you’re here. Have you eaten breakfast? 1 haven’t eaten yet. Let’s eat together later.”
Shi Jiu smiled faintly. He did not seem to be angry with Tang Huaixiao disturbing him at all. He looked at her with a smile and warmth in his eyes. Even Tang Huaixiao could not help but feel moved.
The way he looked at her was not the way others looked at her. He smiled gently and really treated her as an ordinary woman.
Tang Huaixiao said coldly, “You’d better be smart and get lost soon.”
Tang Huaixiao walked over and saw a sturdy woman wearing a mask on the paper. Only half of her face was revealed, and her expression was firm and murderous.
Tang Huaixiao frowned. “Who allowed you to draw me?”
“Eldest Brother said that 1 can draw anything 1 want.”
Shi Jiu touched his nose and answered seriously.
Tang Huaixiao glared at him. “I don’t care who gave you permission to draw me. 1 won’t allow it. 1’11 take this paper away. If you know what’s good for you, pack up and get lost.”
Tang Huaixiao snatched the drawing paper away. She was so rough that she tore a corner of the drawing paper. She looked very cold and fierce, making people not dare to approach her.
At this moment, the servant outside shouted. “Young Master Shi Jiu, it’s time for breakfast.”
Tang Huaixiao frowned.
Shi Jiu smiled. “Huaixiao, let’s eat together.”
Tang Huaixiao gritted her teeth. She looked at Shi Jiu and pulled off the mask. “Look at my face. How can you still eat while looking at this face? Do you know how much my enemies were afraid of my face when 1 was killing them on the battlefield?”
It was a face that looked half male and half female. This was God’s punishment for the Tang family, but it was not fair at all.
What had the Tang family done wrong? They had guarded Jiufang City for generations, but they had to suffer this punishment. It was not that they had never tried to fix the face, but the outcome never changed.
Shi Jiu liked her now, but what would happen to them in the future? Her aunt committed suicide.
Why?
It was because the man who swore to love her forever told her that her face was extremely disgusting.
Tang Huaixiao’s face was monstrous. After taking off the mask, everyone could see her features clearly. Her face seemed to be divided into two, one having a man’s facial expression and the other having a woman’s facial expression.
When she was angry, happy, and sad, the expressions on both sides of her face would look different.
Shi Jiu sighed. “No matter what you look like, it won’t change the fact that you saved my life. In fact, you saved me several times. How can 1 repay you? Eldest Brother said you don’t lack anything. You only need a husband. 1 think I can do it. You are not ugly. You just need someone to discover your beauty.”
Shi Jiu reached out and stroked half of Tang Huaixiao’s face. This half was a man’s face. It was a little rough, but at this moment, the expression on it was that of a shock. He said, “If you are a man, you will look like a real man, a hero. If a woman can marry you, she will definitely feel secure.”
Tang Huaixiao frowned. As she was about to speak, the other half of her face was also touched.
“This face has a resoluteness and determination that ordinary women don’t have. If a man can marry you, it will be a blessing for him. Once the man sets his mind on you, he will never change.”
Shi Jiu held Tang Huaixiao’s face and said gently, “Huaixiao, 1 won’t leave. I’m lucky to be able to marry you. Don’t chase me away.”
Tang Huaixiao gritted her teeth and slapped Shi Jiu’s hand away. She used so much strength that Shi Jiu staggered. Tang Huaixiao frowned, and there was a look of regret on her face for a moment. She wanted to reach out to hold Shi Jiu, but she held it in and gritted her teeth before storming out.
She could not be soft-hearted. She had never planned to get married in her life. Since she was going to suffer the punishment for the Tang family, she would remain single and protect the Tang family and the Jiufang City for the rest of her life.
Tang Huaixiao’s rough treatment of Shi Jiu was seen by Tang Huaijin. Seeing Tang Huaixiao leave, he quickly went to hold Shi Jiu. “Brother-in-law, are you hurt?”
Shi Jiu was relatively thin. His sister was burly. How could Shi Jiu withstand such a slap?
Shi Jiu shook his head. “Brother, don’t worry. Huaixiao is just playing with me. It’s fine.”
Tang Huaijin patted Shi Jiu. “Don’t worry. I’ll teach her a lesson later. She really needs to control her temper. 1’11 tell Father and Mother to beat her up.”
Shi Jiu quickly waved his hand. “No need, no need. I’m really fine..”
