Tie Hailan snickered, but then an idea flashed across her mind, suddenly hatching a plan, "Actually, this can be easily managed, as long as you listen to me, I guarantee you’ll get the beauty back. However, this matter can only be known by heaven and earth, you and me. No one else can be let in on this secret, do you understand?" He Su’s heart skipped a beat, "Do you really have a way?" Tie Hailan had an inscrutable look, "Naturally, I, Tie Hailan, never speak idly." He Su’s eyes brightened, but then recalling Phoenix Blood’s cold and frosty attitude, she knew that person repelled her. Her heart filled with hesitation, and for a moment, she was indecisive. He Su lived in the more bustling part of Taihang Town, and when the two returned to He Mansion, they saw the entrance was being blocked by people. "Lady He, we have been waiting for a long time!" Seeing these hostile visitors, among whom there were many acquaintances, He Su was momentarily stunned, her mind quickly grasping part of the situation. One of the women said, "Mr. Gao forced Phoenix Blood to leave the Sky Blue Building, shouldn’t Lady He give us an explanation?" "Exactly, Old Lady would visit the brothel every night just to listen to Phoenix Blood’s singing. But now, Phoenix Blood has been driven away by Mr. Gao. The He family really does have quite the prestige. Such skillful means of husband control you have, ha!" Inside He Mansion, Gao Jian kept his doors closed, but his face was very pale. He had not expected the matter to become such a big issue. The servants had informed him about the situation outside, and he knew that the women blocking the He Mansion entrance were regular patrons of the Sky Blue Building. They had come to stand up for Phoenix Blood. "Mr. Gao, what should we do now?" Gao Jian’s face was cold. "You ask me, but whom should I ask?" At that moment, a man gloated, "Gao Jian, do you realize the trouble you’ve caused? Lady He has returned from Jun City, but now she is blocked from entering the mansion outside, unable to return. This is all your doing." Gao Jian panicked, remembering He Su’s importance on Phoenix Blood, his heart sank. If his wife found out what he had done, he was done for!!! He Su, being blocked outside He Mansion, grew more livid as the denunciations grew louder. Servants from inside the mansion rushed over, protecting He Su and Tie Hailan as they entered. He Su charged straight into the courtyard where Gao Jian lived, kicked open the door, and with a raise of her hand, delivered a harsh slap across Gao Jian’s face. Normally He Su rarely lost her temper, but Phoenix Blood was her Achilles’ heel. Her husband, not content to stay out of trouble while she was away, dared to cause a ruckus at the Sky Blue Building, even injuring Phoenix Blood, smashing her pipa, and hurling insults at her? Before returning, He Su had already learned the full story of the incident at the Sky Blue Building. She glared at Gao Jian, "Who gave you the audacity to meddle in my affairs? Do I, your wife, even exist in your eyes?" Some usually calm people, once angered, erupt like volcanoes, just like He Su in this moment. "My lady..." Gao Jian, having received a slap, felt his whole face numb, but he couldn’t care less about the pain as he quickly knelt to beg for mercy. "My lady, I know I was wrong. Please, calm down. I won’t dare do it again!" But inside, he ground his teeth in hatred. Phoenix Blood, always Phoenix Blood! Since marrying into He Mansion, he had never suffered such humiliation. Yet today, his wife actually slapped him for an outsider, obliterating his dignity as the main husband. His loathing for Phoenix Blood deepened even further!
