This is not a last resort, it is clear that he is vicious at heart, he likes to do such things and is complacent about it.

She would let this kind of person experience it for herself.

Shen Ningzhu also closed her mouth.

Turning his head, he found that Jiang Xuanyan's arms were bulging with veins, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he looked extremely ugly.

He secretly rolled his eyes and pretended not to see it. Liu Zhiyi didn't want to pay attention to him anymore. From the moment he came here until now, he had completely ignored him.

After waiting for a while, the door creaked open and then closed again.

Chen Ningzhu and Liu Zhiyi looked at each other, quickly opened the window a crack, and put their eyes close to it to look.

Through the layers of gauze curtains, I saw the maid lying quietly on the bed.

At some point, a five-foot-tall, greasy, and fat middle-aged man appeared in the room.

The man shrank his neck, his hideous and twisted face full of excitement. He rubbed his palms and walked towards the bed with an obscene grin.

"My little beauty, here I come."

"Hehehe~ ...

The two best friends frowned at the same time, feeling uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly. It took a lot of effort to suppress the churning in their stomachs.

Suddenly, Liu Zhiyi quickly opened the window, supported his hands on the window frame, and with a force, he flexibly flipped into the house.

“Who…ah—”

There was a crisp "click" sound in my ears, followed by the man's scream like a pig being slaughtered.

But as soon as the sound was heard, it stopped abruptly.

Liu Zhiyi's move was ruthless and quick. The man's fat body immediately fell to the ground like a pile of rotten meat, and he lost his breath.

After thinking for a while, he took a deep breath, picked up the maid on the couch, walked to the window, and threw her out.

Then he flipped out himself.

Jiang Xuanyan lowered his eyes, "Zhuzhu, how do you plan to punish this maid?"

Chen Ningzhu looked at Liu Zhiyi deeply and said, "Beat him half to death and sell him off. Also, you go back first, the show still needs to go on."

Jiang Xuanyan nodded and strode away.

Jiang Yi picked up the maid on the ground and quickly followed him away.

Not long after, Jiang Qingyi arrived with a group of noble ladies, and with her was the expressionless Jiang Xuanyan.

“Is this where you saw Miss Shen tugging at a man?”

"Replying to the princess, that's right."

Jiang Qingyi frowned in pretense of embarrassment, then looked at Jiang Xuanyan who was silent on the side.

"this……"

"Brother Yan, don't be angry. This may just be the maid's dazzled eyes. Although Miss Shen's behavior is unruly, I think she would never dare to act recklessly in an occasion like today."

The ladies and gentlemen following behind were already frightened silly and dared not even breathe.

Is this woman Shen Ningzhu crazy?

Even if you are fickle and can't stand loneliness, you should consider the occasion.

Who gave her the courage to cuckold the emperor? If what happened today is true, then for the sake of the royal family's reputation, those who know about it will most likely be silenced.

If I had known this, I shouldn’t have gone out today.

But now, it's too late to say anything. The only thing I can pray for is that this is just a misunderstanding.

Seeing that the atmosphere was too quiet, Jiang Qingyi glanced at the few people indifferently.

The ladies she glanced at shuddered, clutched their handkerchiefs tightly, gritted their teeth, and one of them said,

"A country girl is a country girl. Even if she wears fancy clothes and expensive jewelry, it can't hide her inherent lowliness and wantonness."

"As the saying goes, it's easy to change a country, but hard to change one's nature. After not seeing it for a few years, this Chen Ning Pearl is exactly the same as before."

"Isn't it? A slut like this, it's a mistake to be alive, she deserves to be thrown into a pig cage."

"Our Princess Qingyi is so kind and benevolent that she thought she had changed for the better. She even spoke up for her and invited her to such a high-end banquet. But she's so ungrateful that she actually brought this strange man here for a secret meeting. She deserves to die."

Jiang Xuanyan's eyes fell lightly on the maid, his tone was neither hurried nor slow, but with a strong sense of oppression,

"Are you sure you saw it clearly?"

"Your Majesty, I saw it clearly."

"If it's fake..."

The maid quickly took over the conversation, "If there is any mistake, I will be punished by the emperor."

"Very good, Princess, you heard me, didn't you? If you can't find her later, I'll take this gossipy slave away and give her fifty lashes, then throw her out of the house. Do you have any objections to my decision?"

Jiang Qingyi was stunned.

I don't know why, but I always have a strange feeling in my heart, but I can't put my finger on it.

I had to take a deep breath and force a dignified smile.

"Qingyi has no objection."

Jiang Xuanyan looked at her deeply, his eyes were frighteningly cold, and there was an undisguised murderous intent in them.

Jiang Qingyi was startled and instantly felt her hands and feet go cold, her scalp go numb, and her whole body felt as if someone was strangling her throat.

The silk handkerchief embroidered with an exquisite phoenix and peony pattern was deformed by her grasp. A feeling of terror and suffocation instantly crept up her back and quickly swept over her whole body.

This was the first time she saw murderous intent in Jiang Xuanyan's eyes.

It seemed he had seen through it all; today's events were her doing. But, was he going to kill her just for that?

Yes, even if Chen Ningzhu was not very good, she was still his woman in name only. If something happened to her, wouldn’t the whole world know that Jiang Xuanyan was cuckolded?

Oh no, I was so angry that I lost my mind and was only focused on dealing with that bitch Chen Ningzhu. I forgot that the royal family’s reputation cannot be lost...

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingyi's face turned pale, her teeth chattered as she tried hard to hold it back, and she finally started to get scared.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, Jiang Xuanyan treated her very well and granted her the highest honor, Jiang Qingyi herself knew better than anyone that those were just appearances. In fact, her princess's mansion had long been nothing more than a facade.

But it was obvious that he was sincere to her when she just returned to Beijing.

Suddenly, the wooden door creaked.

The maid had already opened the door. After walking a few steps inside, she suddenly let out a scream, and then her body went limp and she fell to the ground.

For a moment, everyone at the door was in panic.

Jiang Xuanyan winked, and Jiang Yi stepped inside. Not long after, he came out, bowed and clasped his fists towards Jiang Xuanyan.

"Your Majesty, there is a naked man inside, and he is...dead."

Jiang Qingyi was horrified.

"What? Dead? How did he die?"

Could it be Shen Ningzhu? No, although she is not completely powerless, she is just a weakling with a little strength.

The man she found was ugly and strong, with a lot of brute force, and it was not someone an ordinary woman could kill.

By the way, where did Shen Ningzhu go?

Jiang Yi hadn't mentioned Shen Ningzhu just now. Was he deliberately trying to conceal the truth? Now that it had come to this, was he asking her to stop?
