Black-Hearted Prince, Let Us Pray

Everyone advised her: "The Prince is just a bit dark-hearted, a bit perverted, and kills without remorse, but he can bring peace to the country with his pen, defend it with his sword, and his b...

Chapter 374 Scratching Jiang Xinrou's Face

Zhou Shuyi had just inspected the shop. If they robbed everything in the shop, plus the cash in the shop, it would be worth at least 200,000 taels of silver.

Although this amount is not as much as the money Lin Xiuyan swindled from him, it can at least compensate him to some extent.

The main point is, if Lin Xiuyan knew that he had taken her house, she would probably be furious!

By the time she arrived, he had already reached Jiangnan, and even if Lin Xiuyan wanted to find him, she wouldn't be able to.

When Zhou Shuyi thought about these things, he felt extremely proud. He thought he was the smartest person in the world!

He brought quite a few guards with him this time. If he wanted to rob the Lin family's shops, it would be a piece of cake.

So he arrogantly said, "Load all the valuables in the shop onto the carriage!"

Jiang Xinrou didn't feel there was anything wrong with this. She leaned against him and said in a gentle and sweet voice, "Thank you, young master, for standing up for me."

Zhou Shuyi laughed heartily, put his arm around her, and directed the guards to move things and set fire.

He shouted, "Burn everything over there!"

He had barely finished speaking when he felt something smeared on his mouth, followed by a foul stench.

Zhou Shuyi asked somewhat irritably, "What is it? Who dares to plot against me?"

Before he could finish speaking, the guard who was about to set the fire was shot through the heart by an arrow.

Zhou Shuyi's expression changed slightly, and the next moment, he saw a team of archers appear on the rooftops on both sides.

The archers unleashed a barrage of arrows at Zhou Shuyi's guards.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the guards were killed or wounded.

When Zhou Shuyi realized the situation was not good, he immediately tried to run away.

But as soon as he turned around, a wooden stick thicker than his arm came crashing down on his face.

Zhou Shuyi couldn't dodge in time and was sent flying backward by the wooden stick, his head buzzing.

He lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground, a delicate foot landing heavily on his chest.

Lin Xiuyan looked down at him and said, "This old lady didn't come looking for trouble with you, but you came looking for trouble with this old lady. Are you looking for death?"

Zhou Shuyi was completely dazed at this moment; he even saw double images of Lin Xiuyan.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm just here to take back what's rightfully mine!"

"Lin Xiuyan, your cousin has told me everything. My father never owed you any money. Those IOUs are all fake!"

Lin Xiuyan looked at Jiang Xinrou standing to the side and said with a smile, "Cousin, it's been a long time!"

Jiang Xinrou looked even thinner than when they last met, and because of this thinness, she looked even more pitiful.

The moment Jiang Xinrou saw Lin Xiuyan, her pupils contracted.

She really couldn't understand why Lin Xiuyan was able to get here so quickly!

She took a deep breath and said, "How could you hit someone like that?"

Without saying a word, Lin Xiuyan slapped her face twice, left and right: "You're talking nonsense, I didn't lay a hand on her."

"But since you said I hit people randomly, I definitely have to put your words into practice."

Jiang Xinrou: "..."

She covered her face and cried, "Why did you hit me?"

Lin Xiuyan always thought she was mentally ill, and there was no need to reason with such a mentally ill person.

So she raised her foot and kicked Jiang Xinrou away: "I'll hit you if I want to, why do I need a reason?"

Jiang Xinrou: "!!!!!!!"

In her heart, she cursed Lin Xiuyan for being rude and barbaric, and said that Ye Junfei must be blind to like Lin Xiuyan.

She is better than Lin Xiuyan in every way, so why didn't Ye Junfei like her back then?

If Ruoye Junfei liked her, she wouldn't have to be bullied by Zhou Chenyang; she would be the high and mighty Crown Princess, and Lin Xiuyan would be the one getting beaten up now.

She cried bitterly, "Lin Xiuyan, you are so vicious! I am your cousin, and we grew up together. How could you do this to me!"

Ye Qingwan reached up and picked at her ear, standing next to Lin Xiuyan and asked, "Is she out of her mind?"

Lin Xiuyan raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "I also think she's mentally ill, but she keeps denying it."

Ye Qingwan looked at her with pity: "You grew up with such a mentally ill person, and you're still mentally sound. It's really not easy."

Lin Xiuyan: "..."

Why did she feel like she was being scolded?

Ye Qingwan walked up to Jiang Xinrou and said, "You bullied my sister-in-law. What do you think we should do about this?"

Jiang Xinrou felt very uncomfortable seeing Ye Qingwan protecting Lin Xiuyan.

She is the best woman in the world, and deserves to be protected by everyone!

She looked at Ye Qingwan and said, "Princess, don't be fooled by Lin Xiuyan!"

“We grew up together, and after so many years of friendship, she just attacked me without any regard for our past relationship.”

"You are just her sister-in-law, and the relationship between sisters-in-law is the most difficult relationship in the world."

"Don't be fooled by her kindness now. Once you're no longer of any use to her, she'll treat you the same way she treats me now!"

Ye Qingwan was stunned by these words and looked at her in shock, saying, "How dare you compare me to you?"

Jiang Xinrou said with red eyes, "I know I'm not as good as you at reincarnation, being able to be born into the womb of a princess and become a noble princess."

"But I don't think I'm any uglier than you, gentler in temperament, or more capable."

"If I had your background, I would definitely have done better than you."

Ye Qingwan was shocked again. She turned to look at Lin Xiuyan and asked, "How did you put up with this guy before?"

Lin Xiuyan shrugged: "She's very good at playing the victim in front of people. I'm putting up with it for my mother's sake."

Ye Qingwan asked, "Can I beat her up?"

Lin Xiuyan nodded: "My parents have kicked her out of the Lin family and severed ties with her."

"So she has nothing to do with me now, you can beat her up however you want."

Jiang Xinrou began to cry softly, "Cousin, how could you let someone hit me? We are the closest of family in the world..."

Ye Qingwan couldn't stand her anymore, so she grabbed the tattered rag next to her and stuffed it into Jiang Xinrou's mouth.

She took out a knife and started slashing at Jiang Xinrou's face: "What do you mean you're prettier than me?"

"If I hadn't scratched my face myself, I would definitely be the most beautiful woman in Liefeng Prefecture!"

"What do you mean your temper is better than mine? With your sleazy personality, what makes you think you can compare to me?"

Jiang Xinrou felt a sharp pain on her face. She reached out to cover her face, but it was no use.

Ye Qingwan was so disgusted by her today that she didn't hold back.

She tried to block with her hand, but Ye Qingwan slashed her hand as well.
