Now, he was extremely angry because Xiu Lulu had done this in an attempt to harm the Huangfu bloodline. Such a thing could not be let off lightly.
However, Tang Xiaowei had yet to pass the test, so Xiu Zhongsheng was in a difficult position. He did not know if he should cripple Xiu Lulu.
However, whether he should cripple Xiu Lulu or not, he had to punish her.
Moreover, he could not tell Qiye about Tang Xiaowei's pregnancy before Tang Xiaowei passed the test, so as to prevent Qiye from having wild thoughts. Therefore, he could only punish Xiu Lulu when Qiye was not around.
"Qiye, listen to grandpa. Go and rest. Grandpa knows what to do," Xiu Zhongsheng said coldly.
Although Huangfu Qiye still wanted to say something, he didn't say anything in the end. He turned around and left.
After Huangfu Qiye left, Xiu Zhongsheng looked at Xiu Lulu coldly. His gaze was gloomy. "Xiu Lulu, how dare you? You've been too arrogant during this period of time. It seems that you've forgotten what I said. Men, drag her away and lock her up for a few days. Whip her every day."
"Grandfather, you can't treat me like this. Qiye said he'd marry me in two days. How can I wear a wedding dress if I'm beaten up? I know I'm wrong. I'll never provoke Tang Xiaowei again. I didn't say anything today. How would I know she was going to jump into the sea?" Xiu Lulu heard that she was going to be punished so she hurriedly spoke.
"Wedding When did I say I'd arrange a wedding for you two in two days ? Did you deliberately hypnotize Qiye behind my back and make him agree to marry you? Xiu Lulu, I only asked you to hypnotize him once. Don't keep attacking him just because you know how to hypnotize. Otherwise, I won't let you off!" Xiu Zhongsheng heard Xiu Lulu's words and his voice immediately sank.
Xiu Lulu immediately knew that she had revealed her intentions. She hurriedly shut her mouth with a panicked look on her face.
She had indeed secretly hypnotized Huangfu Qiye again. That was why Huangfu Qiye had said so many words that hurt Tang Xiaowei in front of her and Tang Xiaowei today.
Her goal was indeed to anger Tang Xiaowei to her death. It would be best if she angered Tang Xiaowei to the point of miscarriage. Then, she would ask Huangfu Qiye to beg grandfather to let them get married in the next two days.
However, she did not expect Tang Xiaowei to jump into the sea and attract everyone's attention. Now, her grandfather also realized that something was wrong, so Xiu Lulu naturally did not dare to say anything.
Xiu Zhongsheng knew that his guess was correct.
It was indeed Xiu Lulu, this useless woman, who was behind this.
Xiu Zhongsheng was getting more and more disappointed with Xiu Lulu. He waved his hand and had his bodyguards drag Xiu Lulu away to punish her. However, in his heart, he began to faintly feel that Xiu Lulu might be the one who did not have the qualifications and was not worthy of Qiye.
In the past, Xiu Sheng did not accomplish anything. All he did was eat, drink, and play all day long. Hence, Xiu Lulu, who knew hypnotism and was obedient, and was able to complete many tasks, became a capable child bride in his eyes.
However, now, compared to Tang Xiaowei, who did not have good physical strength and did not have any specialties, Xiu Lulu was really too sinister and vicious. For a person like Xiu Lulu, Xiu Zhongsheng was really afraid that Qiye would still be so naive in the future. In the future, the entire Xiu family might fall into Xiu Lulu's hands.
After all, Xiu Lulu could hypnotize, so she would definitely control Qiye's words and actions.
The more Xiu Zhongsheng thought about it, the more he felt that Xiu Lulu was no longer suitable for Qiye.
But when he thought about Tang Xiaowei, what she did today was too bold. She didn't care about her own life and the Huangfu family's bloodline in her stomach, but she actually directly walked into the sea.
Such an extreme character was also very bad.
Therefore, Xiu Zhongsheng was very distressed. Which one should he choose to be his granddaughter-in-law, and which one should be the last person to be Qiye's?
...
On the second floor.
Huangfu Qiye, who had a cold expression on his face, stood there quietly for a while. Then, he turned around and walked into his room.
Just now, he had heard some conversations between his grandfather and Xiu Lulu.
It turned out that Xiu Lulu could hypnotize people, and she had also hypnotized him before. Moreover, Xiu Lulu had tacitly admitted that she had also hypnotized him over the past few days.
Huangfu Qiye frowned, and his face was extremely gloomy.
There was a dark light in his eyes.
Perhaps, he really should trust An An.
He could only trust the words of a three-year-old child who would not lie.
As for his grandfather, who had hidden many things from him, Xiu Lulu, who had hypnotized him, and Tang Xiaowei, who had jumped into the sea because of him after being threatened by him, he did not dare to believe the words of these three people at the moment.
He quickly walked out of his room and quickly went to Xiao Anan's room. He carried the sleeping little fellow out and directly carried him back to his room before closing the door behind him.
...
When Tang Xiaowei woke up, she saw the ceiling, as well as a doctor and a few maids beside her. She was lying on a large, soft bed, and the back of her hand was still filled with medicine.
Her gaze was slightly cold, and the corners of her lips curled up.
At that time, she was indeed hurt by Huangfu Qiye's words. She felt very uncomfortable and wanted to die.
However, she did not want to die in such a sorry state.
She chose to walk into the sea because she wanted to attract Xiu Zhongsheng's attention. Xiu Zhongsheng had left her in the Xiu family because of the Huangfu bloodline in her stomach.
Therefore, she used the child in her stomach to bet that Xiu Zhongsheng would know what Xiu Lulu said to her.
Xiu Zhongsheng promised to give her a week's chance.
In that case, she wanted Xiu Zhongsheng to Stop Xiu Lulu from saying that Xiu Lulu would marry Huangfu Qiye in two days' time.
If she didn't agitate Xiu Zhongsheng, Xiu Zhongsheng might not even pay attention to her and let Huangfu Qiye and Xiu Lulu's wedding proceed as usual.
Now that she had woken up, although she didn't know how things were progressing, she was most worried about whether she still had a child. After she walked into the sea, she was also very worried about this child, but at that time she really had no other way.
"Doctor, may I ask if the child in my stomach is okay?" She turned her head and asked the doctor beside her softly.
Only then did the doctor and the maid realize that she had woken up. Then, they hurriedly walked over and said with concern, "Miss Tang, the child is still alive, but your body is really weak now. You may have to rest in bed for at least two months. You can only get out of bed and move around after the child is stable."
Hearing this, Tang Xiaowei was stunned. Although she was somewhat happy because the child was still alive, she still suppressed the joy in her heart. She asked anxiously, "Do I have to rest for two months? Have you told your master about this? Did he say anything?"
She was afraid that Xiu Zhongsheng would cancel the one-week chance to prove herself worthy.
