The mean-spirited woman was furious upon hearing this.

She believed that the two guards, having overheard from her that Jing Zhe and Zhou Ziqiong had spent the night alone, wanted to take credit for their services, so they wouldn't let her into the manor so they could report to the Crown Prince of Yu themselves.

"You two watchdogs, how dare you not let me into the mansion?"

Do you even know about my relationship with the young master?

"Believe it or not, with just one word from me, I can get the young master to replace you two watchdogs!"

"..."

Although the mean woman's words were harsh, she was, after all, Zhou Ziqiong's stepmother, and she had a good relationship with the Prince of Yu, so the two guards really couldn't do anything to her.

“Madam Zhou, we also want you to go in, but the young master has indeed instructed that you cannot go in. If you don’t believe us, why don’t we go and inform him? If the young master still refuses to let you in, then there’s nothing we can do!”

"Pooh!"

Madam Zhou spat, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You just want to go in yourself and report such good news to the young master. You want to keep it all to yourself? You two watchdogs, let me in right now!"

"Mrs. Zhou, watch your mouth, or else—"

"What else can you do? You're just watchdogs! Go ahead and hit me if you dare!"

"..."

The two security guards' faces turned red. They really wanted to do what Jing Zhe had done earlier and slap this woman a few times!

But considering her status, they dared not.

It's...very uncomfortable!

At this moment, Jing Zhe, who had been watching the show, reminded them: "Don't you all know why the young master won't let her into the manor? It's because she has already been divorced by Manager Zhou."

"..."

The two guards were taken aback, and one of them asked, "Is he telling the truth?"

"Hmph, that old bastard, I've had a grudge against him for a long time and wanted to kick him out!"

The mean-spirited woman sneered.

"It seems he was telling the truth..."

"No wonder the young master wouldn't let her into the manor..."

The two security guards exchanged greetings.

"Hey, what are you all muttering about? Let me in right now!"

"Entering the manor, right? No problem."

The gatekeeper asked again, "What did you just say?"

"That old geezer?"

"No, the previous sentence."

"Go ahead and hit me if you dare!"

"Bang!"

Unlike Jing Zhe, the two security guards were not civilized. Before the sarcastic woman could finish speaking, they each kicked her away.

The poor, mean-spirited woman hadn't eaten since yesterday and had been freezing outside all night. After being slapped twice by Jing Zhe, she was already dizzy and disoriented. These two kicks knocked her out completely.

"..."

It seems that only other evil people can truly teach evil a lesson!

Jing Zhe nodded, very satisfied.

...

The front hall of Yuwang Mansion.

Master Qu had just informed Prince Yu of the news that Prefect Liu and Manager Hu had died.

"That was well done!"

Upon hearing this, the crown prince of Yu clapped his hands in delight.

At the same time, he asked with some unease, "Was the jailer dead too?"

Master Qu nodded with a smile: "Last night I promised him that as long as he kills someone and then commits suicide immediately, I will give his family a large sum of money to cure his mother's illness!"

"Although this guy isn't doing well, he's still a good family man. When he heard that it could help cure his mother's illness, he agreed without hesitation. I sent someone to inquire outside the prison this morning, and all three of them are dead! Yu Li went to the Zhou family to report the news early this morning!"

"Okay, okay, okay!"

The Crown Prince of Yu said "Good!" three times to express his excitement. "That guy surnamed Jing probably never dreamed that we could get the jailers to take action! Even if those two implicated you before, they didn't leave any evidence. As long as you don't admit it, there's nothing we can do to you!"

Master Qu nodded with a smile, looking very pleased with himself.

"Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"

Just then, a servant stumbled in.

"What happened?"

The Crown Prince of Yu frowned and asked.

"Someone...someone has broken into the Prince's mansion?"

"..."

The Crown Prince of Yu and the Master of the Qu Manor exchanged a glance, both of them showing a look of shock. Who had the audacity to break into the Yu Prince's manor?

"Where's the gatekeeper? Didn't he stop him?"

The Crown Prince of Yu stood up and asked.

"They...they stopped them..."

The servant wiped his sweat and said, "He beat me up in the end, and we couldn't stop him!"

"..."

By forcibly entering the Yu King's residence and even assaulting the gatekeeper, the Yu King's heir could only think of one person...

When he and Master Qu went outside, sure enough, it was Jing Zhe. At this moment, a group of servants from the Yuwang Mansion were surrounding him, but none of them dared to move forward. In the place where he had just passed, several servants were lying there haphazardly.

"Bold Jing Zhe!"

The crown prince of Yu was so angry that his eyebrows stood on end.

"You forcibly broke into the Yuwang Mansion, are you trying to rebel?"

As soon as the Crown Prince of Yu finished speaking, the servants consciously made way for him, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

Jing Zhe casually cupped his hands in greeting and then said, "However, Your Highness has clearly misunderstood. Where did I force my way in? It was obvious that I wanted to visit King Yu, but these servants had ill intentions, so I had no choice but to teach them a lesson on behalf of King Yu!"

Without blushing or panting, Jing Zhe spoke casually.

The Crown Prince of Yu was furious with him. He barged into the palace, injured the servants, and he could claim he was disciplining them? Do our servants need your discipline? Who do you think you are?

"Bold—"

"Time is of the essence!"

Before the Crown Prince of Yu could roar, a deep and powerful voice came from behind him. The Crown Prince immediately fell silent, then turned around and said, "Father, it's just in time! Look at him, forcing his way into the palace and injuring so many servants—"

"Shut up!"

The only one who could reprimand Yu the Crown Prince in such a way at Yu the King's Palace was naturally Yu the King himself.

The crown prince of Yu looked dejected, lowered his head, and turned his body slightly to the side. Yu then strode forward.

Jing Zhe observed the middle-aged man in front of him, dressed in a black robe and sporting a goatee. His appearance was more like a combination of Emperor An and Prince Jin, so he was naturally King Yu.

However, Jing Zhe looked at King Yu but did not speak first.

"This must be Director Jing of the Da'an Newspaper, right?"

Jing Zhe then replied, "This humble official, Jing Zhe, greets King Yu."

Yu Wang nodded, his eyes sharpening at the same time: "President Jing, this is your first time visiting Yu Wang's residence, and you've already attacked so many servants. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

King Yu's voice was not loud, but it was steady and powerful, and it seemed to carry an imposing aura and majesty. If an ordinary person heard him say a word, they would probably be intimidated.

However, Jing Zhe chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, I came from Jingzhou on His Majesty's orders to visit you. I didn't expect your servants to obstruct me. Isn't this a blatant provocation against His Majesty's might? So I'll teach them a lesson on your behalf. You don't need to thank me!"

"..."
