The "Young Master" went mad as soon as he entered the City Lord's mansion, and Ye Jingxian attacked without saying a word!

Zhou Chenyang vowed that one day he would raze the Pingnan Prince's Mansion to the ground and make them pay a terrible price!

The servants from the city lord's mansion wanted to come and help, but they were all stopped by the soldiers of the royal guard.

Ye Jing sat leisurely at the table, calmly poured himself a cup of tea, and watched the soldiers torture Zhou Chenyang.

Zhou Chenyang was already covered in injuries, and this would only worsen his condition.

After the torture was over, he collapsed on the bench and couldn't get up at all.

Ye Jingxian then asked, "Do you now think I have the right to punish you?"

Zhou Chenyang: "..."

He gritted his teeth and said, "I wonder on what grounds the Second Young Master punished me?"

Ye Jingxian gave him a cold look: "It seems you're still not convinced. Guards, give him ten more strokes of the cane."

Zhou Chenyang: "..."

The people of the Prince of Pingnan's mansion are simply too unreasonable!

After those ten strokes of the cane, Zhou Chenyang felt like he had become a pile of rotten flesh.

Ye Jingxian asked, "Do you now think I have the right to punish you?"

Zhou Chenyang already knew that if he was still not convinced, Ye Jingxian would dare to hit him again!

He was filled with resentment, but could only say, "The Second Young Master naturally has the right to punish me."

Ye Jingxian sneered and said, "Actually, I don't want to hit you either, but you're really asking for it."

"I'll give you three days to investigate what happened last night and bring the ringleader of the robbers to justice."

"Otherwise, I'll turn you, the acting city lord of Yucheng, into a commoner!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chenyang remembered that when the emperor summoned him to Chongqing to take up his post, he could only be appointed as the acting city lord because he lacked the necessary qualifications.

The emperor meant that after he had served in Yucheng for six months and achieved political success, he would be officially promoted to city lord.

Because the emperor valued him highly, he felt that his position was very secure and never thought that he was just an acting city lord!

He had gone too far last night, and even if he was still unwilling to accept it, he had no choice but to admit it.

He bargained with Ye Jingxian: "Three days is too short, please give me seven days, Second Young Master."

Ye Jingxian became much more agreeable at this point, and said, "Giving you seven days isn't out of the question."

"For the remaining four days, you help me kill Ye Xiu."

Ye Xiu is the name given to the heir of the Prince of Pingnan.

Zhou Chenyang was surprised when he heard this, but he quickly figured out what was going on.

Ye Jingxian is the heir whom the Prince of Pingnan has painstakingly cultivated. How could he be willing to be subordinate to a useless heir?

Therefore, Ye Jingxian's visit to Yucheng this time was not to deal with him, but to deal with the heir of the Prince of Pingnan.

After he came to this conclusion, he felt much relieved, because he also really wanted to kill that scoundrel!

He immediately replied, "Alright, I'll listen to the Second Young Master."

Ye Jingxian glanced at Zhou Chenyang and said, "I'll be staying at the City Lord's Mansion for the next few days. You can report to me anytime you have results."

Zhou Chenyang responded respectfully, but Ye Jingxian seemed to remember something as he walked to the door and stopped.

He glanced at Zhou Chenyang and said, "It's not that I want to hit you today, but someone promised me some benefits and asked me to give you a little show of force."

Zhou Chenyang was somewhat surprised and asked, "Who?"

Night View Leisurely replied, "Lin Xiuyan."

Zhou Chenyang gritted his teeth and said, "That bitch!"

Ye Jingxian was satisfied to see him like this and said calmly, "I took her bribes and hit you, but her affairs are none of my business from now on."

"I won't interfere with how you deal with her."

Lin Xiuyan wanted to use him to deal with Zhou Chenyang, and he could do the same to Zhou Chenyang.

As for Ye Qingwan, who was protecting Lin Xiuyan, it would be even better if Zhou Chenyang could kill her; that woman was just too annoying!

After receiving this answer, Zhou Chenyang understood and said softly, "I understand."

He assumed that Lin Xiuyan had received money from Ye Jingxian, which was why Ye Jingxian had taken action.

He didn't care how Lin Xiuyan did it; all he cared about was the money, which was all his money!

He watched Ye Jingxian leave.

As soon as he left, Zhou Chenyang's eyes were filled with disgust. Did this bastard really think he could subdue him by coming over and beating him up?

However, Zhou Chenyang already hated the Prince of Pingnan to the bone, so he wasn't too resistant to the task assigned to him this time.

Jiang Xinrou rushed in and asked, "Brother Yang, are you alright?"

Zhou Chenyang has absolutely no patience left for Jiang Xinrou. It's a good thing his hand is broken, otherwise he really would want to slap her right now.

He said coldly, "Are you blind? Can't you tell whether I'm alright or not?"

Jiang Xinrou: "..."

She originally wanted to come and be a considerate lover, but she didn't expect to be disliked by Zhou Chenyang like this.

Hongxiu came in carrying a bottle of medicine and said, "Lord City, I've come to apply the medicine for you."

Zhou Chenyang knew that the medicine Hongxiu had was made by the Medical Sage and had excellent effects, so he praised Hongxiu: "You are so considerate and sensible."

Hongxiu gave Jiang Xinrou a provocative look, the meaning in her eyes was very clear:

You've lost your dowry and the child in your belly, what do you have to fight me with?

Since marrying Zhou Chenyang, Jiang Xinrou has been constantly disgusted by Hongxiu.

The two had been openly and secretly fighting each other for a while, and Jiang Xinrou finally realized that Hongxiu was extremely shameless!

If Lin Xiuyan saw their interaction, she'd probably laugh herself to death.

The tricks Hongxiu used to deal with Jiang Xinrou were all learned from Jiang Xinrou.

White lotus and green tea, utterly disgusting!

Watching Hongxiu apply medicine to Zhou Chenyang, Jiang Xinrou felt an urge to tear Hongxiu apart.

Hongxiu carefully took off Zhou Chenyang's pants, her face showing a mixture of tears and heartache, before delicately wiping away her tears.

She whispered, "Lin Xiuyan is too wicked! How dare she injure the city lord like this!"

Most of Zhou Chenyang's injuries were inflicted by Ye Jingxian, but she attributed them all to Lin Xiuyan, which perfectly suited Zhou Chenyang's thinking.

He said coldly, "Lin Xiuyan was lucky to escape this time, but she won't be so lucky next time!"

Hongxiu said sweetly, "The city lord is right. Lin Xiuyan deserves to die. Look how badly she injured my city lord! Hongxiu is heartbroken!"

After she finished speaking, she puffed out her cheeks and blew on Zhou Chenyang's wound.

If it were an ordinary injury, there would be nothing wrong with her blowing on it like that, but Zhou Chenyang's injury was on his buttocks, so the scene of her blowing on it like that was just too beautiful.

Jiang Xinrou stared in disbelief at Hongxiu's series of actions, her face turning extremely ugly.

At that moment, she felt somewhat superfluous.

While Hongxiu was blowing on Zhou Chenyang's buttocks, she glanced at Jiang Xinrou. Seeing Jiang Xinrou's expression, she felt incredibly satisfied. (cascoo.net)

Now that she is pregnant with Zhou Chenyang's child, Jiang Xinrou doesn't dare to touch her in the slightest!
