The next day, Zhen Wanwan rubbed her sore back and slowly got out of bed.

Hearing the noise, Zhang Mama outside had someone bring in hot water.

"You must be tired from yesterday's work. Please take a bath first to relieve your fatigue. Once you've finished washing up, breakfast will be served."

Seeing Zhang Mama's unchanging expression and practiced movements, Zhen Wanwan felt inexplicably ashamed.

However, she was really exhausted last night; her body felt like it was about to fall apart.

She got up and followed Granny Zhang to the next room, where hot water and clean clothes had already been prepared.

After working for a quarter of an hour, Zhen Wanwan felt much better and was a little hungry.

She got up and put on clothes that were different from what she usually wore. They felt smooth to the touch and were clearly made of the finest fabric.

It fits her perfectly; you can tell at a glance that it was custom-made for her.

As soon as she stepped outside, Zhang Mama and the maidservant who was serving her saw her and their eyes flashed with a hint of amazement.

She wasn't the type to be stunningly beautiful; her overall demeanor leaned towards gentleness and intellect.

She usually lives in the countryside and doesn't care much about her clothes or appearance.

Thanks to Zhuyuan, I got to wear a gorgeous dress for the first time.

"My wife is so beautiful!"

Granny Zhang offered sincere praise.

Although the lady was beautiful and kind-hearted in the past, her roughly made clothes made her look a bit rustic.

Now, dressed in stylish clothes that suit her, she looks even better than those pampered ladies.

Zhen Wanwan's cheeks flushed slightly; she felt a little embarrassed to be stared at like that.

"Grandma, did Guabao and Tianbao have their milk this morning?"

Granny Zhang said with a smile, "They've all drunk it. After the young master got up, he first went to the kitchen to make soup for you, and then came to dress the two young masters and make their milk..."

When talking about Zhuyuan, Granny Zhang was extremely satisfied.

She had never met a man so diligent and loving towards his wife and children.

Most importantly, this person is very capable, yet he doesn't possess the domineering and superior attitude typical of men.

Zhen Wanwan hummed in agreement. At first, she was still a little unaccustomed to Zhu Yuan treating them so personally.

Gradually, she began to get used to it, and even felt a sense of joy towards it.

She never imagined that she would have the chance to meet such a perfect man.

It is said that there are no perfect people in the world, especially a man like Zhu Yuan who is both handsome and capable.

Zhen Wanwan hadn't arrived yet; at that moment, her perfect husband was in the death row of the yamen.

"Beggar! How dare you treat me like this! Are you out of your mind?!"

Inside the death row cell, a disheveled man was shouting at the top of his lungs.

His eyes reflected Zhu Yuan's image, filled with undisguised hatred, but even more so with fear.

Zhu Yuan slowly picked up the brand that had been burned by the fire and skillfully imprinted it onto the man's body, as if he were making pancakes.

"Noisy".

"ah!!!"

As Zhu Yuan's hand fell, the man's scream rang out at the same time.

The death row inmates who had been making a ruckus all fell silent and secretly hid in a corner.

Yin Duwei remained calm, already accustomed to this atmosphere.

"You bastard! Aren't you afraid my royal brother will kill you?"

The man continued to yell; he was in excruciating pain and desperately wanted someone to back him up.

If Ma Xiaosi were there, he would definitely recognize the disheveled man in front of him as Yuan Yongtai, who had insulted Zhu Yuan outside the house that day.

Wang Yongtai was filled with fear at this moment, because he knew that his life could end here at any time.

He was ultimately tormented to death by the very person he once looked down upon.

He really didn't know where this person learned such torturous methods.

They tormented his body constantly, yet were unwilling to let him die easily.

Zhu Yuan tilted his head slightly, staring indifferently at Yuan Yongtai.

"Even a dying man can be so stubborn!"

Yuan Yongtai trembled; the last vestige of hope in his heart had crumbled.

"You! How could you do this to me? Qi... Wild Slave, no! Zhuyuan! Zhuyuan! We grew up together since childhood, this bond can never be forgotten!"

"I don't want to die! Please! Please spare me! Don't worry! After I leave, I will definitely not tell my brother!"

Seeing that his forceful approach was ineffective, Yuan Yongtai finally softened and pleaded with Zhu Yuan.

They foolishly hoped that he would have a change of heart and spare them.

A foul odor suddenly filled the space; it was Yuan Yongtai who had wet himself in fright.

Zhu Yuan remained expressionless, but the coldness in his eyes intensified.

Facing the disheveled Yuan Yongtai, he replied with disgust, "You shouldn't have done anything wrong, the worst thing you could have done was to set your sights on my wife."

Although killing Yuan Yongtai at this time would bring him some trouble, Zhuyuan still brought him over without hesitation.

He didn't care how others insulted him, but there was one thing he couldn't bear to see his wife and children being bullied.

I don't want them to be schemed against!

Zhu Yuan wanted to silently protect this hard-won happiness from behind the scenes.

Yuan Yongtai then realized what he had done to deserve being kidnapped and tortured by Zhu Yuan, that mad dog.

At this moment, he deeply regretted what he had done.

But he was completely innocent, even though it was his idea.

But didn't he fail?

"Zhuyuan! I was wrong! I shouldn't have had those thoughts. But Madam was not injured, and I didn't actually harm her..."

"Don't worry! I will never dare to mess with her again! I will definitely take a detour whenever I see her! I will never touch a hair on her head in my life!"

No matter how much Yuan Yongtai swore or made guarantees, Zhu Yuan remained unmoved, and even showed increasing disgust for the person in front of him.

He knew Yuan Yongtai's character; if he let him go, the man would only become more ruthless and use even more insidious tricks against them.

From the moment Yuan Yongtai stepped into Anqing Prefecture, Zhuyuan had no intention of letting him leave alive.

The intention was to let him live a few more days, but if someone is determined to die, Zhu Yuan will surely grant their wish.

So he threw away the instruments of torture in his hand, put his hands behind his back, and walked away.

"Cut off his limbs, bleed him to death, and then throw him into the wolf's den..."

Zhu Yuan's voice was indifferent, but now, with the added tone, it sounded particularly cold and ruthless.

Yin Duwei bowed to Zhu Yuan's figure before taking the set of torture instruments back.

In the past, my master loved doing these things!

For some reason, the master gave up today, and of course, no one could answer this question for him.

He dared not ask Zhu Yuan any questions, and focused solely on his work.

Inside the death row cell, besides Yuan Yongtai's curses and screams, there was a thick and nauseating smell of blood.

Zhu Yuan frowned. He had completely forgotten how he was going to get back with this smell all over him.

In his mind, these things that happen outside should never be brought home.

Firstly, he was afraid of frightening his wife and children; secondly, he worried that with his personality, his wife might not want him anymore.

Zhu Yuan didn't have much time to hesitate before a report came from outside.
