Lu Ziqian coldly watched his second uncle, who was always taking advantage of others and always hiding behind the scenes to let Old Zhu Shi intervene. He really wanted to call him a coward.

"This family is going to be divided."

"I have already written to my parents, and they will be back soon."

"I will inform my aunt tomorrow, and I believe she will agree."

After Lu Ziqian finished speaking, he walked away, but after taking two steps, he stopped and turned back to ask, "What makes you think that my wife, Lu Ziqian's wife, can be bullied at will?"

The second wife's family was all stunned!

Yes, they all knew in their hearts that Lu Ziqian was the one they shouldn't mess with in this family, but deep down they also felt that Su Yujiao could be bullied at will.

It's... so contradictory!

Old Zhu only dared to curse aloud after the person had gone far away: "That beast, that wretched creature."

"How dare he ask that question? Wasn't he the one who started it by belittling people?"

A single sentence awakened me from my reverie.

Yes, the reason they think Su Yujiao is weak and easy to bully is because they are just imitating him!

If he protected people like the apple of his eye, no one would dare to mistreat them like that.

When Lu Ziqian returned to the courtyard, Xiao Tao was not inside guarding him, but was serving him outside.

The man frowned: "Why aren't you serving inside?"

Xiao Tao looked embarrassed: "Young Madam forbids me from serving you."

Seeing Xiao Tao's strange expression and unusual blush, Lu Ziqian asked in confusion, "Is she throwing a tantrum?"

"No... the young mistress is not doing well, General... please go in and see her yourself."

The man pushed the door open and went in.

On the bed, the woman's pure white, naked body stood out starkly against the backdrop of the shimmering red and purple satin.

Her face was flushed with an unnatural blush, her expression a mixture of pain and pleasure, her eyes alluring and seductive, like flowing spring water, captivating and enchanting.

Lu Ziqian looked at her emotional expression.

Bathed in light, it appears lustrous and pure white, captivating and mesmerizing.

He couldn't help but step forward, pull the woman into his arms, utter a vulgar and obscene remark, and then pinch her chin and kiss her.

"No...don't...don't touch me."

The way he looked at her carried a hint of a man's blatant lust for a woman, and a possessiveness he himself was unaware of.

"You're all naked, and you're still saying no?"

Despite being eroded by drugs, Su Yujiao still retained a sliver of rationality, which led her to instinctively resist.

"Who are you... Don't touch me."

Lu Ziqian pinched her cheek, his voice unusually gentle: "Open your eyes and see who I am."

"Waaah...don't touch me." The woman cried helplessly.

The man pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "It's me, Lu Ziqian."

"Lu Ziqian?"

Su Yujiao's eyes were somewhat glazed. She tried to open them, but all she could see were many Lu Ziqian figures swaying in front of her, until they all overlapped.

She recalled those painful memories and shook her head helplessly: "You are not Lu Ziqian, he doesn't love me... and I don't love him anymore either."

Lu Ziqian felt a pang of sadness as he listened to the woman's heavy nasal voice and heard her say that she no longer loved him.

He didn't want to do that kind of thing with her while she was injured.

But she's been drugged with a potent aphrodisiac, and it seems like it can't be left untreated.

He slept with her for three years. Although he didn't love her, he was extremely fond of her body.

He knew better than anyone how to make her feel good, how to make her give up her resistance, and how to make her willingly submit to him...

Normally, Lu Ziqian wouldn't stop until he got into the mood two or three times, but tonight, because she was injured, he only did it once and then reluctantly let her go.

"Take good care of the young mistress."

Xiao Tao looked at the man who had just been intimate with the young lady and was about to go find other women when she couldn't help but ask, "General, aren't you staying overnight tonight?"

"The young mistress will be very happy to see you when she wakes up."

In the past, Lu Ziqian would never have offered an explanation, but tonight he did.

"I'm going out to take care of some things."

Lu Ziqian went to the Orchid Garden. Su Yujiao said that Chen Yunniang had planned this. Although he didn't believe it, he still wanted to find out.

Wang Heng was practically groveling in his face, yet he had no idea who was plotting against him. He couldn't stand this humiliation.

Just as they entered the courtyard, Chen Yunniang's screams suddenly came from the front hall, and Lu Ziqian rushed forward.

"I killed someone... I killed someone..." Chen Yunniang covered her ears and kept repeating this sentence, as if she was terrified.

Lu Ziqian then noticed Chen Yaozu lying in a pool of blood, and the blood-stained vase on the ground.

The man knelt down to check Chen Yaozu's breathing; there was no pulse or breath, he was dead beyond any doubt.

"What happened?"

"I killed someone...I killed someone..." Chen Yunniang continued repeating this phrase in a mad manner.

Lu Ziqian knew she was traumatized and couldn't get any information from her, so he could only turn around and ask Xiao He, who was also stunned.

"What happened?"

"Miss...Miss...Waaaaah..."

"Tonight, the young master hunted a wild rabbit and asked the young lady to roast it as a side dish with her drinks."

"During the meal, the young master was in a good mood and unknowingly drank too much."

"Young master has a bad drinking habit. He tends to talk too much when he drinks too much. He said that he would become an official after tonight, and that he had done a great thing for General Wang and become a favorite of General Wang."

"The young lady was curious, so she asked a few more questions."

"Young master, after drinking, was careless and told the young lady directly."

"Miss has learned that the young master conspired with Wang Heng to scheme against Miss Biao, and that Miss Biao has already been sent to the Marquis's residence."

"The young lady became anxious upon hearing this and wanted to go to you to report the news, but the young master stopped her from going and even hit her."

"The young lady couldn't take the beating anymore, so she grabbed a vase and smashed it on the young master. Unexpectedly... she killed him in one blow."

"Waaaah... Please, General, save my young lady! She didn't kill her on purpose. She... she was trying to deliver a message when she accidentally killed her."

"Miss is innocent, sob sob sob..."

Xiao Tao cried with tears and snot streaming down her face, every word she uttered was an attempt to exonerate Chen Yunniang.

Lu Ziqian frowned and looked at Chen Yunniang with suspicion.

Su Yujiao had just said that Chen Yunniang was the one who came up with the idea behind it, and then Chen Yaozu died right afterward.

And it was Chen Yunniang who killed him herself, what a coincidence?

Just as Lu Ziqian was about to ask something, a commotion came from outside the door. Then Chen Youtian and Liu rushed in like madmen, grabbing Chen Yunniang and hitting and cursing her.

"You heartless bitch, I'll fight you to the death!"

"Yaozu... Yaozu, wake up! How can your mother live like this..."

"Report to the authorities... You murderer, let the magistrate chop off your head..."

Chen Youtian's face was also full of hatred: "General Lu, you must seize her quickly. She was the one who came up with all the ideas, and now she's trying to kill me to silence me."

Chen Youtian angrily recounted the whole story in detail, while Lu Ziqian looked at Chen Yunniang in disbelief.

Chen Yunniang looked at her parents, who had returned, with a shocked expression.

Just now, she killed Chen Yaozu in front of her parents, just to intimidate them.
