Jing Zhe wasn't in the mood for dinner at the Zhou family's house. He followed Yu Li out, asked for directions to the Yuwang Mansion, and then went there alone.

Before long, they arrived at the Yuwang Mansion.

Ruzhou City was already wealthy, so the Yuwang Mansion was built extremely luxuriously in terms of both area and scale, even surpassing the Jinwang Mansion that I had seen in Jinxi.

From the outside, the Yuwang Mansion has a well-organized layout, exquisite craftsmanship, and interspersed pavilions. The exterior walls are painted with a layer of light yellow paint, giving it a sense of blending the magnificent and noble style of royalty with the simple and elegant charm of folk culture.

Upon arriving at the door, Jing Zhe was stopped.

"what for?"

"Do you even know where you are? Why are you just wandering around like this!"

The two guards at the gate did not recognize Jing Zhe. Although they were just two gatekeepers, they were guarding the main gate of the Yuwang Mansion, and they had a sense of superiority. Even though they saw that Jing Zhe was dressed in fine clothes, they were not afraid of him at all.

Because very few people in Ruzhou City could come to the Yuwang Mansion, and the one who walked in headfirst must be a fool.

"I am Jing Zhe, the president of Da'an Newspaper, and I have come here to pay my respects to King Yu."

Jing Zhe didn't even look at them, and said coldly.

"Da'an Newspaper? Have you heard of it?"

"Heh, so just any Tom, Dick, or Harry wants to pay homage to King Yu?"

"Go in and announce my identity, and you'll know who I am!"

"Heh, who do you think you are?"

"That's right, you think I'll just report something because you tell me to?"

Both were furious at Jing Zhe's disregard and sneered, showing no intention of letting him pass or going in to report.

"Yes, don't let him in!"

Just then, a familiar voice rang out from behind. Jing Zhe turned around and saw that it was the mean woman who had been divorced by Zhou Gui yesterday. However, compared to yesterday, her hair and clothes were a bit messy, indicating that the place she stayed yesterday was not good.

The two guards clearly recognized her: "Madam Zhou, do you know this young man?"

"Hehe, I don't know him! All I know is that he's just Zhou Ziqiong's lover!"

The mean-spirited woman said through gritted teeth.

If it weren't for Jing Zhe's appearance, she would still be Mrs. Zhou. But because of this man, Zhou Gui divorced her without warning, and she vented all her anger on him.

"Miss Zhou's lover?"

As guards of the Yu King's mansion, they were well aware of the Yu King's son's preferences, and naturally knew that the Yu King's son had long coveted Zhou Ziqiong.

This person is actually Zhou Ziqiong's lover?

If someone else had said it, they might not have believed it, but since it came from Zhou Ziqiong's stepmother, coupled with Jing Zhe's incredibly handsome face, they believed it wholeheartedly.

"Yes, it's that little slut's lover! I saw him yesterday. He brought three women into the Zhou family. The three women came out last night, but he didn't come out at all! It seems he's already slept with that little slut! Let me in quickly, I need to tell the young master about this!"

"..."

...

It turned out that yesterday, after being divorced by Zhou Gui, she was kicked out of the Zhou family. The mean-spirited woman was first shocked, then furious. She wanted to go back to Zhou Gui to reason with him. Why was she divorced for no reason? Just for that slutty wild man? Did he want to offend the Crown Prince of Yu for such a wild man?

When she tried to enter the Zhou family again, the gatekeeper wouldn't let her in. Then she saw Prince Yu arrive at the Zhou family. She thought that Prince Yu would help her get revenge and beat up the bastard Jing Zhe to drive him out. But when Prince Yu came out of the Zhou family, he looked furious. She tried to ask him what was going on, but Prince Yu kicked her hard, knocking her unconscious.

When she woke up, it was already evening. She happened to see Jing Zhe bringing Mu Qingren and her apprentice, along with Zhang Xiaoyu, into the Zhou family again. However, because she was too cold and hungry, and had been kicked, she could only see that Jing Zhe had brought three women, but couldn't tell who they were.

Good heavens!

Being Zhou Ziqiong's lover is one thing, but daring to bring other women along?

Watch how I complain to the Crown Prince of Yu!

The mean-spirited woman, who had been kicked by the Crown Prince of Yu, was still not awakened and thought that the Crown Prince of Yu was angry because Zhou Gui refused to admit that Jing Zhe was a wild man!

She'll stay here and see if this wild man and Zhou Ziqiong are actually having an affair!

She waited and waited, all night long!

As it turned out, it was too cold that night, and she hadn't eaten anything. She was so hungry and cold that she fainted again. When she woke up again, it was already the next morning. She rushed to the Yuwang Mansion to complain, but she didn't expect to run into Jing Zhe at the gate.

After saying that, he pointed at Jing Zhe and said, "You wild man, you're really bold. It's one thing to sleep with that little slut, but you even dare to run to the Yu King's mansion—"

"Smack!"

She was interrupted before she could finish speaking.

The mean-spirited woman covered her burning face in disbelief.

"You dare hit me? You dare hit me in front of Prince Yu's mansion? Do you even know my relationship with the Crown Prince? Try hitting me again!"

"Smack!"

"Let's give it a try!"

Seeing the three people staring in disbelief, Jing Zhe calmly said, "It's hard for me to refuse such a request!"

"..."

The two guards were also surprised that Jing Zhe would act so unpredictably, attacking without warning.

"You...you dare hit me?! I'll fight you to the death!"

The mean-spirited woman tried to pounce on Jing Zhe after she finished speaking, but how could she possibly catch him? Jing Zhe slapped her again with great force, sending her flying several meters away. Fortunately, she was facing away from the two guards, who caught her.

"You...you...you...me...me..."

The mean-spirited woman's mouth was crooked from the beating, and she couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time. However, she had already experienced Jing Zhe's power and dared not rush forward again—because she knew that this man would not care at all that she was a woman, and an older woman at that!

A man who doesn't respect the elderly and care for the young, and who doesn't know that women are a vulnerable group, can only be despised by a mean-spirited woman in her heart. Then she breaks free from the guards' hands and prepares to rush into the Yuwang Mansion.

"What...what are you doing?"

But something even more unexpected happened: the guards who had previously let her in were now stopping her.

"I'm going to complain to the Crown Prince!"

Although the two guards expressed sympathy for the mean woman being beaten and strongly condemned Jing Zhe, they had no intention of letting her in.

"Madam Zhou, the young master has given instructions that you will not be allowed to enter the manor again. You should go back now! As for the matter of filing a complaint, we will handle it for you!"

"..."

Although the two guards were also curious as to why the Crown Prince of Yu would issue such an order, they were too lazy to guess and simply carried it out.
