He guarded the gates of the Prince of Pingnan as if they were thieves. He had nothing to do in the Hall of State Affairs and no specific position, so he had plenty of time every day.

Soon it arrived at the day of Zhou Lengshan's funeral, and Ye Junfei took Lin Xiuyan to pay their respects.

Their arrival put the entire Zhou family on high alert.

Zhou Shuyi's eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at them, his teeth clenched tightly and his hands clenched into fists.

Although Zhou Shuyi was detained in the government office for so many days this time, Lord Zheng did not make things difficult for him or make him suffer any major pain.

However, this was the first time he had been treated like this, and he hated Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan to the core.

Not to mention that he heard the news of Zhou Lengshan's death as soon as he came out.

This was like the sky falling down for him!

Zhou Lengshan was his father and his support.

He knew that he had been able to act with impunity in Liefeng City all these years only because Zhou Lengshan was there for him.

Princess Pingnan has already informed him that Zhou Lengshan was killed by Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan.

Looking at the two of them, he felt they were utterly shameless!

They killed Zhou Lengshan and still dared to come to his funeral!

He stood before them with a dark expression and said, "You actually dare to come here?"

Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "Why wouldn't we dare to come?"

"You killed my father!" Zhou Shuyi said with a dark face, "Men, beat them... throw them out!"

He originally wanted to say that they should be beaten to death with sticks, but Ye Junfei was, after all, the heir of the Prince of Pingnan, and it would be somewhat inappropriate to say such a thing.

So the words were on the tip of my tongue, but I changed them.

The guards from the Zhou residence surrounded them and said, "Young Master, Young Master's Consort, this way please!"

Lin Xiuyan knew that Zhou Shuyi wouldn't dare to make a move in public, so she simply ignored the guards.

She looked at Zhou Shuyi and said, "I saw with my own eyes that I killed your father."

Ye Junfei said from the side, "When his father died, he was still imprisoned in the government jail."

Lin Xiuyan then asked, "So, someone actually witnessed us killing Zhou Lengshan?"

Ye Junfei said calmly, "So far, the Zhou family has been looking for someone to frame us for Zhou Lengshan's murder."

"They have spent a lot of money trying to find someone to commit perjury, but so far they have not found anyone to do so."

Lin Xiuyan smiled and looked at Zhou Shuyi, saying, "You didn't see us kill your father with your own eyes, and you haven't even found the person who gave false testimony."

"What makes you say we killed your father? Just because you harassed me in the street and tried to kidnap me but failed and were imprisoned in the government jail?"

"Is it because Lord Zheng has a good relationship with your father that they released you even though you couldn't get out of the crime, giving you the illusion that you're the most powerful person in the world?"

Zhou Shuyi: "..."

City Lord Zheng: "..."

His reasons for releasing Zhou Shuyi are somewhat illogical; in essence, he is in the wrong.

However, in order to maintain the dignity of the city lord, he still said, "What the Crown Princess said is somewhat inappropriate."

"Your claim that Zhou Shuyi tried to kidnap you is unfounded. After all, even with so many guards, he couldn't defeat you and the Crown Prince."

Lin Xiuyan laughed upon hearing this and asked, "So even my testimony and those of the common people don't count, only his testimony counts?"

Lord Zheng chuckled and said, "Of course not, I'm just stating an objective fact."

Lin Xiuyan raised an eyebrow and asked, "So as long as it's something that objectively exists, it's acceptable, right?"

Lord Zheng didn't quite understand what she meant, but he still nodded slightly.

The next moment, Lin Xiuyan grabbed the funeral staff next to her and hit Lord Zheng on the head with it.

City Lord Zheng: "..."

City Lord Zheng: "!!!!!!!"

He reached up and touched it; his forehead was broken, and blood was flowing from between his fingers.

He angrily said, "Even if the Crown Princess is of noble status, she cannot hit people for no reason!"

Lin Xiuyan threw down the stick in her hand and said with a half-smile, "When did I hit anyone? Which eye of yours saw that?"

Lord Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "I saw it with both eyes, and everyone around me saw it!"

Zhou Shuyi nodded: "That's right, I saw it!"

Lin Xiuyan smiled slightly at them and said, "No, none of you saw it. What you just saw was all fake."

"Because Lord Zheng said that only objectively existing things can happen, and what you see with your own eyes is all fake."

"After all, I am so weak, I look like a frail woman who can't even kill a chicken, while Lord Zheng is in charge of a city."

"He has hundreds of city guards and hundreds of constables under his command. He's so powerful, how could I possibly dare to fight him!"

Zhou Shuyi: "..."

City Lord Zheng: "..."

Lin Xiuyan has now returned all his sophistry.

If he were to hold a grudge against Lin Xiuyan now, then Lin Xiuyan would bring up the score from that day, and Zhou Shuyi would have to be sent back to the government office and locked up again.

After all, if we only consider social status, in Liefeng Prefecture, only the Prince of Pingnan and his wife are more noble than this couple.

Lord Zheng covered the wound on his head with his hand, his mind still buzzing.

He glanced at Lin Xiuyan, took a deep breath, and then turned and left.

Lin Xiuyan asked him, "Lord Zheng, what happened to your injury?"

Lord Zheng's face was extremely ugly. By this time, he had a general idea of ​​Lin Xiuyan's personality.

If he says she hit him, she might hit the other half of his head with a stick.

Before he could answer, Zhou Shuyi interjected, "Aren't you just asking a question you already know the answer to? You're the one who broke his head!"

Lord Zheng said with a dark face, "Young Master Zhou, please stop talking nonsense. I am sorry for the Crown Princess's concern. I just accidentally stumbled upon it myself."

Zhou Shuyi: "..."

He truly hadn't expected that Lord Zheng, whom he considered quite shrewd, would say such a thing!

Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "Then City Lord Zheng will have to be careful. Cracking your head is no small matter. Do you need me to introduce you to a doctor?"

“I have a very good relationship with the Sage of Medicine. As long as you know the appropriate consultation fee, I can ask the Sage of Medicine to treat you.”

Knowing that Ye Jingxian had suffered a great loss at the hands of the Medical Sage, who was also Lin Xiuyan's man, Lord Zheng quickly said, "No need!"

He didn't want to talk to Lin Xiuyan anymore, so he turned and left.

Lin Xiuyan's eyes showed a hint of disdain, but she did not stop him.

Zhou Shuyi stared wide-eyed at the scene. He had done his fair share of calling a deer a horse over the years, but he never expected to see such a version today.

He wished he could chop the couple up with a knife. He glared fiercely at Lin Xiuyan, then turned and left.

Lin Xiuyan said, "Wait a minute!"

Zhou Shuyi said coldly, "Is there anything else, Princess Consort?"

Lin Xiuyan took out a stack of slips of paper from her bosom and said, "Your father borrowed a lot of money from my father before he died. See when you can pay it back."
