Chapter 419: Lust is a knife above your head

"He really is a fool."

She parted her red lips slightly, her voice was soft, yet chilling to the bone.

Liang Yuhua is of course good-looking, otherwise the Fifth Prince would not have come to her house to ask for her.

Zhou Jianming is used to being shameless and vulgar. I'm afraid he won't let go of a girl as beautiful as Liang Yuhua.

Yuan Wanru suddenly had an idea.

The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to her.

"Keep watching. If he just talks, then ignore him for now. If he dares to take action, hit him wherever he moves. Show no mercy."

"Remember, stay away from people."

This "person" was, of course, the emperor's spies placed around Liang Yuhua.

-

It rained heavily this morning.

Liang Yuhua was standing under the porch, looking at the sky that had just cleared up after the rain, with a hint of tranquility on her plain face.

When she was at home, she was quiet and didn't like crowds. Now this remote courtyard was just what she wanted.

Suddenly, a slick voice sounded from behind: "Hey, isn't this Aunt Liang? She is more beautiful than flowers."

Liang Yuhua was startled and turned around suddenly, only to see Zhou Jianming who had slipped in at some point, waving his newly bought folding fan. His eyes were glued to her, looking her up and down unscrupulously, his gaze finally stopping on her slender waist and her chest which was slightly heaving due to fright.

"Who are you?"

Liang Yuhua subconsciously took a step back.

After she moved in, she never left the courtyard and didn't ask about the affairs of the mansion, so she had no idea that such a cousin had come.

Zhou Jianming looked at her with pity on his face: "Auntie, with such a beautiful face, is actually being neglected like this. It's really a waste of God's gift."

"I am the cousin who came to Beijing these two days. Didn't your aunt hear anything about it?"

"My eldest cousin really doesn't know how to pity you. If my aunt was my roommate, I would hold her in my hands. How could I let you sit here and stare at the sky in loneliness?"

After saying that, he moved towards Liang Yuhua.

These words don't sound like something a decent person would say.

Liang Yuhua was horrified, and the blood on her face faded away. "Stop, don't come over here. This is the residence of the women in the inner courtyard. Please leave quickly, young master."

There was obvious panic and resistance in her voice.

"Leave? The scenery here is so beautiful, and there is a beautiful lady beside me, how can I bear to leave?"

"Isn't Aunt Liang bored by herself?"

"I just came here to entertain you, what do you say?"

He thought he was quite charming when he pronounced the last word with a suffix. His eyes were fixed on Liang Yuhua with deep affection, which made her feel particularly sick.

"Shut up, cousin, please be respectful."

"Please leave immediately."

Yunxiu had gone to serve the meal, and there was no one in the courtyard. Liang Yuhua looked at the man approaching step by step, and was so scared that she backed away again and again, all the way to the foot of the wall.

Zhou Jianming laughed and walked up to her, folding his fan and trying to lift Liang Yuhua's chin frivolously, "I've heard the story of Aunt Liang and my cousin these days, and it's quite sad."

"Mrs. Liang is so gentle and beautiful, much better than those vulgar women. Don't you feel lonely?"

"My dear cousin, please respect yourself!"

Liang Yuhua was shocked and angry. She slapped his fan away and raised her voice with fear, "If you don't leave, I'm going to call for help!"

"Call for help?"

Zhou Jianming showed a lewd smile on his face, and he moved closer, reaching out to grab Liang Yuhua's wrist, "You shout, this yard is remote, usually no one comes here, who are you shouting?"

"Besides, I am the grandson of the old lady. The old lady loves me the most. I am an honored guest in the mansion!"

"You are an unfavored concubine. If my cousin finds out, he might give you to me."

"Let me go!" Liang Yuhua struggled with all her strength, and in desperation, she stepped hard on Zhou Jianming's instep.

"Ouch!" Zhou Jianming felt pain and loosened his grip.

Liang Yuhua took the opportunity to break free, staggered backward, and knocked over a wooden rack of flower pots on the corridor, making a loud "clang".

"Bitch! If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you!"

Zhou Jianming was enraged and rubbed his instep, with a fierce look in his eyes, and pounced on him again.

Just as his hand was about to grab Liang Yuhua's sleeve, a black shadow dropped from the sky like a ghost and accurately grabbed his wrist.

The force was so great that it seemed like an iron clamp. With a "crack", his wrist seemed to be broken.

Zhou Jianming screamed in pain instantly.

“Ah! Who?! Let go!”

Zhou Jianming looked up in horror and met a pair of cold eyes. They were the guards under Lu Jiangnian.

The guard's voice was as cold as ice: "Mr. Zhou, how can you be allowed to run wild in the inner courtyard of the Marquis's mansion? If you disturb the female relatives, I'm afraid you can't bear the wrath of the prince."

Zhou Jianming saw the attire of the man and knew that he was the guard of the Marquis' Mansion. When he heard him mention Lu Jiangnian, his arrogance was immediately extinguished, leaving only the piercing pain in his wrist and fear in his heart.

"You... who are you? Let me go! If you dare to hurt me, my grandmother will never forgive you!"

"On the orders of the Crown Prince's wife, protect the peace of the mansion."

The guard said coldly, "Mr. Zhou, please go ahead. If you dare to trespass into the inner courtyard and harass the women again, next time it won't just be your wrist that's cut off."

After saying that, he dragged him like trash and threw him out of the gate of the courtyard.

Zhou Jianming fell to the ground in a panic, his wrist was in great pain and his face was as pale as paper. Looking at the guard's cold and murderous eyes, he was shocked, angry and scared. He got up in a hurry and fled out of the yard without looking back.

Liang Yuhua was still in shock and managed to stand steady by holding onto a pillar, tears welling up in her eyes.

The guard clasped his fists and saluted her, saying in a dull tone: "Madame Liang, something like this happened today. I'm afraid you need to go see the Crown Prince's wife."

After saying this, his figure flashed and disappeared outside the courtyard wall.

When Liang Yuhua heard the guard's words, her eyes flashed slightly.

Sister Yuan is looking for her. Is there something going on?

-

After listening to the guard's detailed report, Yuan Wanru opened her red lips slightly, her voice was soft but chilling, "He really is a fool who doesn't know how to live or die."

Why is Zhou Jianming so bold? It is simply because he has done this kind of thing many times before.

In ancient times, women always suffered losses, and many people could only swallow their grievances even if they suffered great injustices.

He had no idea how Liang Yuhua came into the mansion. He was always lustful and when he saw Liang Yuhua's beauty, he felt that she was weak and could be bullied. So he probably just wanted to test Liang Yuhua's attitude today.

Quartz frowned, "Madam, do you want me to..."

She gestured.

She is a woman and she hates this kind of man the most.

Yuan Wanru raised her hand to stop him: "Don't worry, he has injured his hand now, so he has to be quiet for a few days."

"I'll keep him. He's still useful to me. I'll let him live a little longer."

Wouldn't it be better to recycle waste?
