For Qi Guo, Zhou Guo is indeed a big piece of fat on his lips.
It's just that Zhou State has been relatively effective in dealing with it for a long time. As soon as Qi State found signs of a large-scale attack, he contacted Qi State's neighboring countries to exert pressure, forcing Qi State not to dare to act rashly. Neighboring countries are afraid of the strength of Qi State, and often help, hoping that Zhou State can stand up to Qi State. With the aid of Zhou State, the nomadic tribes in the north would often invade Qi State in the south.
Even so, Qi State has been encroaching on Zhou State's territory, and in recent years has been preparing to launch a war of annihilation.
Not long after Li Huaide came back, Ju Shunmei came to see him.
When Li Huaide heard that she was coming, he had a headache. He thought that what he meant was obvious, and he hadn't contacted him for nearly a year, and the relationship between the two of them was completely broken. He frowned and told Fan Zinan: "Go and tell her, I have nothing to do with her anymore, I don't want to see her, let her go."
Fan Zinan nodded with a smirk, he knew what happened between the two of them. He looked down on women like Ju Shunmei from his heart. In his opinion, Ju Shunmei is like a brothel girl. With her now, Mr. Huai's reputation would be tarnished. He was happy to drive her away for the young master.
Fan Zinan walked outside the door and said with a smirk, "I'm sorry, our young master said that he didn't get into trouble, but he was thinking about the old relationship. He doesn't want to see you again. To be honest, it's okay for you to sleep with anyone." Okay, why bother to embarrass yourself here? Do you really think our young master doesn’t know about the scandalous things you have done? This is our young master, if I were to change, I would have sold you to a brothel long ago.”
Ju Shunmei was ashamed and said with tears, "I have my own reasons. If you let me see him again, I will make it clear to him myself."
Fan Zinan shook his legs, stopped in front of her, and said nonchalantly: "No, you go in, I have to wash the floor later, it's too dirty, do you understand?"
Ju Shunmei's face was as pale as snow, and she really wanted to turn around and leave, but thinking about her situation, she endured it.
Since Sun Zhongde's death, her situation in the inner court has gone from bad to worse. Although her talent is not bad, but there are many geniuses in the inner courtyard, she can't show it. It turned out that Sun Zhongde and the others rewarded her with some pills and charms from time to time. Seeing his face, the deacons would assign her some easy and oily tasks. Only then can she do well in the inner courtyard.
Once Sun Zhongde and others died, her main income was cut off. When the deacons saw that the Sun family ignored her, they stopped being polite to her.
And the reputation of her fooling around with Sun Zhongde and others had already spread in the inner courtyard, and no other disciples were willing to talk to her.
Ju Shunmei had to take on some dangerous and unprofitable tasks. Without help, she always failed to complete the tasks. Those who fail to complete the task will be punished, and the inner courtyard does not support useless people. Barely holding on until now, Ju Shunmei is clinking with poverty, not to mention pills and spells, all the weapons she carries are almost sold off.
If she had the courage to transfer to a small monastery where no one knew about her, and do some ordinary tasks, she could still survive, but she would not be willing to lose her status as a disciple of the inner court.
Back then, she betrayed her childhood sweetheart and her body to enter the inner courtyard. After paying such a high price to come in, how could she be willing to lose it
In desperation, she saw that her former childhood sweetheart had become an upstart in the inner courtyard. After thinking about it, she knew that Huai Mengde had guessed her relationship with Sun Zhongde and had broken off contact with Sun Zhongde for more than a year, but she still dreamed that Huai Mengde could forgive her and help her.
Being stopped by Fan Zinan with laughter and scolding, Ju Shunmei refused to leave, she said with a pale face and tears, "This is between me and him, you don't care about it, I must see him today."
Fan Zinan said impatiently: "Get out, our young master doesn't want to see you. No matter how far away you are, you will die for me."
Ju Shunmei gritted her teeth and knelt down.
Fan Zinan was stunned for a moment, then turned cold and said, "What do you mean?"
Ju Shunmei said in tears: "He didn't see me today, so I will kneel and die here."
Fan Zinan was in a hurry, what could she do kneeling here? This is the best residential area for disciples in the inner courtyard, and there are many people coming and going. If this is to be spread, I don't know what other people will gossip about it
He said coldly: "If you want to kneel down, kneel down somewhere else. If you kneel down to death, I will obey you. I will burn you a piece of paper money."
Ju Shunmei poked her neck and said, "If he doesn't see me, I'll just kneel here and die without going anywhere. If you dare, kill me!"
Fan Zinan gritted his teeth and cursed: "What the hell, do you really think I dare not kill you?"
Ju Shun's heart was broken, he closed his eyes and said, "You beat me to death!"
Fan Zinan really didn't dare to continue the fight, he would be punished by the sect rules if he beat up his fellow sect without reason.
"What the hell, are you shameless?" Fan Zinan scolded angrily.
Ju Shunmei knelt in front of the door of her former childhood sweetheart, bowed her head and wept silently.
She wants to take a gamble, betting that her childhood sweetheart still has a little old love for her and will have some sympathy.
When she knelt here, passers-by could not help but watch curiously. They all speculated about what happened here, asked her who she was, and what relationship she had with Huai Mengde. Huai Mengde became famous in the first battle, and many people now know about some past grievances.
Many people who knew the inside story recognized Ju Shunmei and couldn't help but despise her. They guessed that she had seen Huai Mengde's beauty, Sun Zhongde died again, and wanted to turn around.
Huai Mengde obviously didn't want to see her, but she was kneeling here. This was not an apology and pleading, but forcing people to accept her again. She is shameless, betting Huai Mengde is shameless. If Huai Mengde didn't want the previous scandals to spread, even if he didn't want to accept her anymore, he might have to give her something to send her away.
Some people couldn't help scolding her sarcastically. Ju Shunmei bowed her head, shed tears, and knelt down with a pitiful look, she was ashamed and refused to leave.
Fan Zinan numb his paws, scolded Lie Lie, turned around and went back.
He came back in frustration and said to Li Huaide: "What the hell, that bitch is playing tricks. He won't leave until he sees you. He kneels at the door and threatens us. Young master, what do you think we should do?"
Li Huaide had a headache, pondered for a while, and said, "Tell her to wait for me at Mingyue Tea House, and I will meet her there later."
"Young master, do you really want to see her?"
"Well, like this, if we don't see each other, if we don't talk about it, she won't give up. It's not a problem to let her kneel there. Let her in, and it's troublesome for her to mess around here. I'll talk to her outside." Li Huaide said calmly said.
Fan Zinan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and tell her. My lord, her reputation is too bad, you must never get involved with her again."
Li Huaide smiled slightly and said, "I have a sense of proportion!"
Fan Zinan walked to the door, but saw another delicate girl outside.
An Rulan was pointing at Ju Shunmei's nose and scolding: "You bitch, you betrayed brother Huai and slept with so many men, why are you still looking for my brother Huai? You are really shameless, I have a brother's heart Shan, I can't stand it. Get out of here!"
