If all else fails, she will try her best to get to a higher position, step on him firmly under her feet, and make him kneel down and sing "Conquer".

"Then will you still threaten me with their lives?"

"No."

"I don't believe it. You are the emperor. You can make anything happen. Even if you change your mind, no one can do anything to you. If you really want to, just let them all go."

Shen Ningzhu looked at Chen Aniu indifferently, then looked away and said slowly.

"good."

This time, Jiang Xuanyan agreed readily.

Chen Aniu had completed his mission and knew that Chen Ningzhu had her own plans, so he had no objection to leaving.

But I can’t think of so much about Ganoderma lucidum and Peony.

Seeing that Chen Ningzhu was in a bad situation, they knelt on the ground together and refused to leave, crying and begging Chen Ningzhu not to drive them away. It was useless for Chen Aniu to pull them away.

Chen Ningzhu thought that it would not do to be without anyone around her, so she let them stay.

Only after seeing the rest of the people leave did Shen Ningzhu breathe a sigh of relief.

The few of them did not hide their whereabouts. After leaving the villa, they immediately found a caravan and followed them to Beijing.

Except for the old woman who had one arm chopped off, no one left with them because they remembered that their families were in Luoshui Town.

Chen Aniu returned her indenture to her, gave her the deed to thirty mu of prime paddy fields, and three hundred taels of silver, and then left.

Before leaving, he told her that if she had any difficulties, she could look for the property under Shen's name and ask someone to send him a message, and he would definitely help.

The old woman returned home with tears of gratitude.

The clouds and fog have cleared, and Chen Ningzhu no longer has any weaknesses. It's time to teach this scumbag a lesson.

"Zhuzhu~~~"

In the next few days, Chen Ningzhu ate and drank peacefully.

So indifferent that he seems to have no desires or demands, like a puppet.

This was very different from the previous most beautiful woman in the capital who dared to love and hate, and was bright and outspoken. Jiang Xuanyan couldn't help feeling a little uneasy when he saw her like this, and called out softly.

"Xiaobao, please don't go against me, okay? Even for the sake of the child, you have to be fine."

Shen Ningzhu felt amused.

He still has the nerve to mention the child to her?

But she really had to be fine. She didn't do anything wrong. It wasn't her who should be damned, but the idiot next to her.

"Bao your mom, you're already old, stop yelling so disgustingly, I need to eat."

"Okay, I'll have someone prepare your favorite dishes right away."

The man automatically ignored the first half of the sentence, and with a calm expression, he ordered his servants to set up dinner on the stone table under the pear tree in the yard.

After a while, more than a dozen delicious dishes were served on the table, and Chen Ningzhu took a sip.

"This one is too bland, this one is too sweet, this one is too soft and not chewy, and this one just looks unappetizing."

Just like the previous few days, I picked and chose, but there was not a single dish that suited my taste.

Jiang Xuanyan didn't say anything and asked someone to start over. After a while, twenty dishes were placed on the table.

Everything is exquisite and made of fine materials.

But Chen Ningzhu always found fault with everything, and the servants serving beside her were all sweating profusely, fearing that Jiang Xuanyan would get angry and blame them.

Fortunately, the other party just looked at Shen Ningzhu lovingly,

"It's okay. If it doesn't suit your taste, tell the kitchen to keep cooking until Zhuzhu is satisfied."

Shen Ningzhu's face fell.

The man was indifferent to her obviously intentional behavior, and his face was full of doting, with deep affection in his eyes.

Do you like being abused?

Perverted, right?

"Forget it, I won't eat it. Take it away."

I've been hungry for the past two weeks, and now I can't eat much at once. I just took a few bites and I'm already full. Looking for trouble is one thing, but wasting food by going back and forth is immoral.

"Okay, take it away first. When Zhuzhu wants to eat it, just ask the kitchen to make it." Jiang Xuanyan instructed the maid beside him.

Shen Ningzhu ignored him and continued to talk to herself.

"This yard is too stuffy. I want to see a show."

"Okay, I'll have someone..."

"I want to see you come in person."

Jiang Xuanyan froze in place, his eyes suddenly became sharp, veins popped out on his forehead, and his whole body exuded an aura of impending storm.

"Zhuzhu, don't go too far. Being spoiled and arrogant will not end well."

Snap——

Before he could finish his words, a loud slap was slapped on his face.

"Jiao Jiao Jiao, Jiao your mother Jiao, I have tolerated you for a long time."

"Because of your favor, you become arrogant?"

"You bastard, you call the suffering I've endured pampering?"

Shen Ningzhuqi's chest heaved violently, his palms felt hot, and two clusters of blazing flames shot out of his fox eyes, as if they were going to burn two big holes in the person in front of him.

She couldn't bear it for a while because her hands had been itching for a long time.

Calculating the time, Aniu and the others have run far away. Now she is alone. The worst that can happen is that she will die. Why should she endure it?

At this time, the sky was getting dark.

The sky was painted with a large expanse of sunset glow, which was bright red and extremely beautiful.

Half of Jiang Xuanyan's body was hidden in the darkness, against the light, making it difficult to see his specific expression. One could only see that his deep eyes were particularly profound.

There was a surge of hostility in his eyes, and his whole body exuded a strong aura, which made people almost breathless.

At this time in the past, Shen Ningzhu would have been trembling with fear, but this month's torture almost drove her crazy.

In a rage, he didn't care about those things.

After a long while, Jiang Xuanyan took a deep breath and spoke word by word.

"Zhuzhu, I imprisoned you and threatened you, but you were the first to try to escape from me."

"So what?"

"From the very beginning, this was a mistake between us, okay?"

"Forget it. As long as you eat well and don't hurt yourself anymore, I'll do anything for you."

Shen Ningzhu raised her eyebrows.

"Okay, don't you want to make amends? Then dance to cheer me up."

"you……"

"Why, or were you just saying that? It's ridiculous that I actually took it seriously. Now it seems like he's just being so stubborn. He's so reluctant to even ask for a small favor."

Jiang Xuanyan closed his eyes.

"Do you want to hear the piano or the flute? I can satisfy you with both of those. I don't know how to dance."

Chen Ningzhu curled her lips maliciously.

"I just want to watch the dancing."

“…”

"Striptease, the kind where you take off your clothes while dancing."

Jiang Xuanyan's pupils widened, he gritted his teeth, and growled.

"Shen- Ning- Zhu-"

"Brother Yan, just don't jump, why are you so mean to me?"

Jiang Xuanyan:? ? ?

"Chen Ningzhu, you have to understand clearly that it was you who abandoned me, fled the capital, and even found a fake husband to cheat on me. Even so, I didn't hurt you at all."

"Now, I've even let go those who aided and abetted the evil, just to make you happy. What else do you want from me? Do you have to humiliate me like this?"

Here it comes again, again, when will it ever end?

Shen Ningzhu was annoyed and scratched her ears.

"Qingfeng just wanted to make things easier for himself and claimed to be my husband. But it was all a lie."

"With me, even just being a figurehead isn't acceptable."

Shen Ningzhu: ...
