Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress

Chapter 670: Don’t Talk Nonsense

In the banquet hall, Madam Shentian heard the elder’s words and couldn’t help but walk towards Qing Zi.

“Madam, look, isn’t that Miss Qing Zi?” An aunt from a collateral family saw Qing Zi and the rest and couldn’t help but cover her lips and smile. “Our Young Master Qing Yuanguang is actually not around. This is rare.”

She and the other madams covered their mouths and smiled. This Qing Yuanguang had always been the pride of the couple. What happened now naturally couldn’t be hidden from these gossipy people.

When they saw Qing Zi, they could not help but gloat.

Madam Shentian naturally saw Qing Zi and the rest, and she couldn’t help but frown.

“Qing Zi, these two are your friends, right?” Madam Shentian walked towards Qing Zi with a cold face.

Qing Zi immediately stood up.

Seeing Qing Zi stand up, Qu Yan and Long Xue also stood up. “Madam Shentian.”

Madam Shentian glanced at the two of them mildly before shifting her gaze to Liu Zi who was beside Qing Zi. Her expression instantly turned much colder as she spoke as if she was doing them a favor. “Alright, all of you sit down. After all, it’s the first time for such banquets.”

She had obviously heard the conversation in the garden.

The other ladies also covered their mouths and smiled. “Madam Shentian, this Miss Qing Zi is indeed beautiful. No wonder Young Master Qing Yuanguang can’t forget her. Her two friends are not bad-looking either.”

“Enough.” Madam Shentian glanced at them coldly. “Are you done?”

Those few ladies were still more afraid of Madam Shentian. At this moment, they naturally didn’t dare to say anything else. They looked at each other and sat at the table next door. They didn’t leave. As they waited to see Madam Shentian’s side, they talked about other things. “I heard that Mr. Shentian just met Miss Su. I heard that Miss Su is very powerful. Even General Yuan is afraid of her.”

“Who says so?” Someone sighed. “Unfortunately, she’s over there. We can’t see her.”

On the other side, Madam Shentian had yet to speak to Qing Zi.

Liu Zi, who was beside Qing Zi, suddenly recalled Su Huiqing who had just left. He remembered that Qing Zi had introduced him to call her Miss Su. “Miss Qing Zi, the friend that just left also has the surname Su. Is the Miss Su they mentioned your friend?”

Moreover, Liu Zi had a faint feeling that this Miss Su was really very powerful.

“Alright, Liu Zi.” Qing Zi could not help but whisper when she heard Liu Zi’s words. “Don’t speak nonsense. Although Qingqing is very powerful, she is not from overseas. I don’t know when she came overseas, but it will only be a few months at most. How can she know someone like General Yuan? Don’t speak nonsense.”

Liu Zi thought about it and felt muddle-headed. “That’s true. I heard from Old Master that this Miss Su is from the Dugu Family.”

Qing Zi didn’t believe it initially, but when she heard Liu Zi’s words, her hand suddenly stopped.

She recalled the relationship between Su Huiqing and Dugu Heng. “I think Qingqing was from the Dugu Family of the International Association…”

However, after thinking about it again, she felt that it was impossible. She then shook her head and felt that she was thinking too much. “I am also thinking too much. How is this possible?”

Qu Yan took a piece of cake and smiled.

Long Xue didn’t know much about these things so she didn’t say anything. She just frowned at Madam Shentian.

“Pfft!” Unexpectedly, at this moment, the group of aunties and madams at the neighboring table laughed as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world. “Madam Shentian, I think this daughter-in-law of yours has a delusional disorder. What kind of person is Miss Su? She actually said that she is friends with Miss Su? She’s even from the Dugu Family of the International Association. Does she think that just any Dugu Family can compare to our Dugu Family overseas?”

Madam Shentian also felt a little embarrassed. Her expression turned even colder as she glanced at Qing Zi. “Alright, don’t say such things again in the future! If Miss Su hears this, you can’t afford to lose your lives! Leave this place. If Miss Su blames you, no one can afford it.”

“Let’s go.” Qing Zi pursed her lips. She didn’t care, but she didn’t want her friends to be humiliated by Madam Shentian here.

Unexpectedly, Qu Yan let go of her hand and smiled at Madam Shentian. “If we know that Miss Su, will Madam not chase us away?”

“Know Miss Su?” Upon hearing this, Madam Shentian looked at Qu Yan as if she was looking at an idiot. “Before I make a move, you guys better leave!”

“Qu Yan.” This was someone else’s territory after all. Although Qing Zi was also angry, she didn’t want Qu Yan to cause trouble. Most importantly, Su Huiqing—who could control the situation now—was not around. Qing Zi just said in a low voice, “Qu Yan, calm down. Let’s go first.”

After staying overseas for a month, Qing Zi knew very well that they could only tolerate such matters.

Qing Zi left with the two of them. At this moment, a faint voice sounded from behind. “I just came. Why are the three of you leaving?”

Madam Shentian looked towards the source of the voice and saw a thin figure.
