If a person is dead, what use is there in discussing their merits in front of a plaque? Moreover, with selfish individuals like Qi Hao and He Chuan, even if they have accomplishments, would they really share any credit with someone who has passed away?
"Second Lady," I thought for a moment. "When it comes to passing messages, there are bound to be gaps since there are people in between. I still have some details that need to be confirmed."
To confirm these details, it’s best to ask in person. Qi Family Head should be in the front courtyard right now; I’ll go find him.
As Sang Qingxiao spoke, she stood up and headed outside.
He Chuan was startled and quickly grabbed her. "You can't go!"
"Second Lady, what are you doing? I was just about to seriously handle the matter you entrusted me with. Why are you trying to stop me?"
If there's something you want to ask, just ask me! You’re thinking of going to the front courtyard! Ji Qingqing, do you think I can’t see through your little schemes? You’re just a little vixen, daring to cling on right in front of me! Ouch! Let go! Let go!
It was easy for her to break free from He Chuan's grip, but upon hearing her baseless accusations, Sang Qingxiao quickly seized her hand. "Second Lady, if you enjoy kneeling and licking, then do it yourself. Don’t assume everyone thinks like you!"
He Chuan continued to stubbornly retort, "My husband is quite handsome; many young girls throw themselves at him. I've seen plenty like you. Pretending to be reserved won’t help; my husband doesn’t just bring anyone home."
"Your husband must be over fifty years old, right? That fake face is just meant to deceive you. A skilled martial artist can easily see through his disguise from afar."
There’s a certain scent called 'old man smell.' Have you heard of it? It’s the odor that comes from someone aging as their body gradually deteriorates.
In other words, although Qi Hao may take care of his appearance, the decay inside him is unavoidable. Haven't you noticed that scent on him?
Have you ever seen a Jianghu man who smells fragrant?
A warrior with a pleasant scent would seem effeminate and would be looked down upon by his peers. Moreover, having a distinct smell could expose one's whereabouts and lead to danger.
Has Qi Hao been in Jianghu for so long that he doesn’t know this? As the head of the first family, he should understand the impact of such things on his authority.
Yet even so, he still chooses to use incense; he must rely on it to cover up his old man smell.
Does Qi Hao have an old man smell?
Sang Qingxiao replied, "Of course not."
It was merely a malicious intent aimed at disgusting He Chuan.
Naturally, He Chuan shook her head in disbelief since she had never actually smelled anything.
Sang Qingxiao continued to mislead her. "Qi Hao covers up his own scent not only with incense; Inner Strength is his main method. As a defenseless woman, you naturally wouldn’t be able to detect it."
His little tricks cannot be hidden from someone with profound Inner Strength.
In the world of martial arts, who doesn't carry a certain scent? With Qi Hao's status, everyone naturally shows him respect and refrains from exposing the truth. After all, it's just a minor quirk of vanity, nothing too serious.
However, these past few days have truly been a trial for my nose. Even though the distance wasn't close, I could still catch a whiff of that lingering odor, sneaking into my nostrils even when I held my breath.
Yesterday, when I had no choice but to get closer, I nearly felt sick to my stomach.
