MainNovelChapter 1072: Chapter 1060: Zhan Qipei Stands Up for Qiao Jing
After watching the koi by the pond for a while, Qiao Jing suddenly thought of something and swiftly lifted her
head, her gaze directed towards a rockery nearby.
For sreason, she always felt that the fish bait was placed over there.
After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Jing still took steps towards that direction.
Following her instinct, she approached the rockery step by step, and indeed found the fish bait.
Qiao Jing was quite surprised by this.
Though her intuition had always been accurate, she didn’t expect it to be this sharp!
She could even accurately guess where the fish bait was stored in someone else’s house!
At this moment, Zhan Qipei and Tang Yan happened to be passing through the garden.
They witnessed the entire scene.
Tang Yan was very surprised and couldn't help but exclaim, “How did Third Miss Qiao know that the fish bait was
there?”
Zhan Qipei calmly replied, “Yubao and the others must have told her.”
With this assumption, he didn’t find it surprising.
On the other side of the rockery, after obtaining the bait, Qiao Jing walked onto the Jiuqu Bridge, feeding the koi
in the pond at a leisurely pace, looking quite content.
Watching her serene demeanor, Zhan Qipei’s mind involuntarily drifted to past memories.
In the past, when his wife was still around, she too enjoyed feeding koi like this, even her posture was so similar.
As he thought about it, the figure in his memory coincidentally overlapped perfectly with the person on the Jiuqu
Bridge...
Realizing what he was thinking, Zhan Qipei quickly pulled his thoughts back, refusing to allow himself to indulge
in such random musings.
He was fully aware that they were not the sperson at all.
The Qiao Jing before him was not his Qiao Jing, how could he force the shadow of Qiao Jing upon her?
If he continued like this, he feared...
Just then, a conversation broke out, interrupting Zhan Qipei’s thoughts.
“Hey! Isn’t that Third Miss Qiao? Why is she here again?”
“I heard she’s here to check on the old man’s illness, supposedly needing a follow-up or something.”
“In my opinion, the illness is just an excuse, honestly, she’s trying to latch onto the Zhan Family, maybe she’s
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteven trying to charm our young master!”
“Now that you mention it, that might be the case! But doesn’t she consider her own appearance? Even if she
wants to latch onto the Zhan Family, she needs scapital for that, doesn’t she? With her looks, where does
she get the confidence to entice the young master?”
“You just don’t understand, do you? It's precisely because she lacks capital that she would use such roundabout
methods, like getting the old man on her side, beguiling the three young masters, and then securing the young
master through them!”
“According to you, Third Miss Qiao is quite the schemer, a complete conniving bitch!”
Zhan Qipei turned towards the voices, realizing the speakers were two maids from the house.
There were many rockeries in the garden, which due to the angle, allowed Zhan Qipei and Tang Yan to see the
two maids while the maids couldn't see them.
The more the two spoke, the more excited they became, the more malicious their words grew.
Zhan Qipei heard every single word and his gaze darkened as a layer of cold frost formed in his eyes.
Circling around the rockery, the two maids suddenly saw Zhan Qipei and Tang Yan.
They quickly lowered their heads, respectfully calling out, “Young Master!”
After calling out, they prepared to move away.
Zhan Qipei’s thin lips parted, issuing a cold command, “Stop!”
The two maids jumped in fright, nervously asking, “Young Master, is there anything you need?”
“The Zhan Family pays you to work, not to gossip and spew nonsense about people!”
As he said this, Zhan Qipei remained expressionless, his tone carrying an invisible pressure.
Upon hearing this, the maids knew full well that the young master had heard every word they had just spoken.
Frightened and uneasy, they hurriedly apologized, “Young Master, we're sorry! We know we were wrong, we
shouldn't have spoken carelessly, we won't dare to do it again!”
After apologizing, the two maids exchanged a glance, thinking the matter would end here.
After all, they had merely gossiped for a few moments, which wasn’t an unforgivable error.
With this in mind, one maid cautiously suggested, “Young Master, then we'll get back to work.”
Zhan Qipei’s icy gaze swept over them, indifferently saying, “No need to work, go get your wages, and leave
immediately after!”
With this statement, the maids’ faces turned pale, filled with shock and disbelief.
To them, Third Miss Qiao was just a woman of humble origins and unremarkable appearance, utterly
insignificant.
Yet they never imagined the young master would expel them over such an insignificant woman!
They had merely whispered a few words about her!
Though thinking this, they dared not voice it, keeping their heads bowed, pleading for mercy.
“Young Master, sorry, sorry, we truly know our mistake, please don’t send us away!”
“Young Master, we promise we'll never speak recklessly again, please give us one more chance! We can’t lose
this job!”
The two maids pleaded incessantly, even tears began streaming down their faces.
However, Zhan Qipei remained unmoved, not showing the slightest sign of wavering.
His expression stern, he spoke with
words devoid of warmth, “Coflegin
your wages anceaie con’ make me
rSpeat myself a third time, or you
won't just be walking out voluntarily!”
Upon hearing this, the maids understood that further pleading was useless.

At this moment, they were filled with regret.
If they hadn't gossiped about Third Miss Qiao earlier, they wouldn't have lost this job!
But regret won't change anything now, it was already too late!
The maids wiped away their tears as they resignedly turned to leave.
The commotion caught Qiao Jing’s attention, who was feeding the koi on the Jiuqu Bridge.
As she walked over, she happened to see the two maids tearfully leaving.
Out of curiosity, Qiao Jing asked, “What's happening?”
Zhan Qipei glanced at her, replying
indifferently, “It Pesan

affair.” The content is on

Hearing his reply, Qiao Jing wasn't displeased, but raised her eyebrows slightly.
After all, matters of the Zhan Family indeed had nothing to do with her, an outsider, not her place to intervene.
“Then it’s my bad for asking, it’s getting late, I'll be going now.”
After those words, Qiao Jing was about to leave.
“Wait!”
Zhan Qipei called out to stop her.
Qiao Jing paused her steps, turned to Zhan Qipei, waiting for his next words.
Zhan Qipei’s deep gaze fell upon her face as his voice inquired, “How is my grandfather's illness now?”
