Every word struck Xiao Shengyuan's heart and lungs.

He was so angry that his face turned a deep liver color.

How could you become so mercenary!

Can power compare to sincerity?

I can swear that I will only stay with you for the rest of my life. Can Fu Junshi do the same?

The battle in Liaodong is long over, and he still hasn't returned. Nine times out of ten, he's found someone new over there. You're all alone in your empty room, sighing and wiping away tears, but who cares?

Yinyin, in this world, only I am devoted to you.

"Clap clap clap!"

Yun clapped his hands.

"I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as Lord Xiao. Anyone who didn't know better would think you'd only ever been married to one wife."

Xiao Shengyuan sighed: "I only married Yao because she resembles you. From beginning to end, she has always been your substitute."

Yun: Hehe, Yao should really hear this.

This person got so into character that they even fooled themselves.

Continuing to argue about it will only be a waste of time.

She said listlessly, "Lord Xiao, if you want to perform, go somewhere else. No matter how well you perform here, I won't give you any reward money."

Xiao Shengyuan's face darkened.

"Yinyin, do you really not want to come back to me?"

Yun gave him a look that said, "What do you think?"

Xiao Shengyuan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "Then don't blame me for using force."

He yanked, and the belt snapped, his pants falling to the ground.

He then rushed into the quiet hall and hurried toward the Yun family.

Yun's expression changed slightly.

"Someone come here!"

A black figure flew into the quiet hall in an instant and kicked Xiao Shengyuan away.

Xiao Shengyuan was sent flying backward, crashing into a pillar in the corridor, and landing with a scream.

He endured the pain and shouted, "Yinyin, wait for me! I will definitely rescue you from that barbarian Fu Junshi!"

Upon hearing this, other worshippers in the temple gathered around.

Yun was furious.

Xiao Shengyuan, that despicable scoundrel, is shameless to this extent.

He thought that by creating some unsavory scenes and having people witness them, he could tarnish her reputation, drive a wedge between her and Junshi, and fulfill his dream of remarrying her.

That's wishful thinking.

She said coldly, "Lord Xiao is having a hysterical episode. Give him some medicine."

The guard nodded.

She walked over to Xiao Shengyuan, pinched his chin, and stuffed a pill into his mouth.

Xiao Shengyuan was completely taken aback by the Yun family's move, and his face turned pale with fright as he struggled violently.

How could his strength possibly match that of a well-trained guard?

This struggle, instead of breaking free of control, allowed the pill to fall steadily into the stomach.

After the guard released his grip, he immediately choked him.

But it was to no avail.

"What did you have someone feed me?!"

He questioned her sternly.

Yun chuckled: "Don't you like to go crazy? Now you can go crazy however you want."

Xiao Shengyuan was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

They actually wanted to poison him until he went insane.

"Give me the antidote now! Otherwise, the whole capital will know tomorrow that you and I were making love in the meditation room."

Yun's expression turned cold.

"Then I'd like to see whether it's Lord Xiao's rumors or his deeds that are more appealing."

What deeds?

Just as Xiao Shengyuan was about to ask for clarification, he suddenly lost consciousness.

He only learned what happened next from someone else the following day.

He was like a madman, running around the temple naked, chasing after worshippers.

It took the monk a great deal of effort to knock him unconscious and subdue him.

After being led back to his residence by his servants, he regained consciousness, rushed out of the mansion, and went berserk throughout the streets.

In the end, he was taken back to the mansion by the yamen runners.

He woke up the next day with a splitting headache, and upon hearing about these events, he felt an urge to tear Yun to pieces.

However, before he could go and settle accounts with the Yun family, the imperial guards delivered an imperial edict.

It was said that he was mentally unstable and behaved inappropriately, making him unfit for the position of Vice Minister of Revenue, so he had to be dismissed from his post.

After hearing the imperial edict, the old lady rolled her eyes and fainted.

He himself was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

The position of Vice Minister is gone just like that?

He was so enraged that he spat out a mouthful of blood and, like the old woman, fainted on the ground.

The guard shook his head, placed the imperial edict on him, and strolled away.

Yun felt that this punishment was lenient enough for him.

If he didn't still owe Qingyin money, she would have made him go crazy every other day and see how long he could hold out.

After learning about this, Xiao Qingyin replenished Yun's body with a lot of self-defense medicine.

I also prepared a copy for Qin Wenjun.

Qin Wenjun took the medicine she was given and sighed, "If only I had met you sooner, Miss."

If you encounter a lecher or a scoundrel, there's no need to play along. Just throw some medicine at them and teach them a lesson they'll never forget.

Xiao Qingyin laughed and said, "You got through it without these medicines, didn't you? It's not good to rely too much on external things."

Qin Wenjun nodded: "Yes, this servant will remember."

She put the medicine in her purse and carried it with her every day.

I thought it would be a long time before these medicines would be useful, but I didn't expect to be able to use them in just a few days.

The young lady gave her the day off and told her to keep Tianci company and have fun.

Tianci said he wanted to go shopping, so she took him to North-South Street.

As the Lunar New Year approaches, the streets are bustling with activity, filled with vendors selling snacks and toys.

Tianci ordered a Nezha sugar figurine, a string of candied hawthorns, and several comic books from the street vendor.

He jumped around tirelessly, while Qin Wenjun quickly grew tired.

Just as she was about to take him to a shop to get something to eat, a square-faced man with almond-shaped eyes walked towards them. As soon as he saw her, he exclaimed with delight, "Wife, Jinbao, I've finally found you!"

Qin Wenjun immediately became wary.

She held Tianci's hand tightly and said coldly, "You've mistaken us for someone else. We don't know you."

The man said with a doting look, "Wife, stop fooling around. You've been away from home with the child for so long, it's time to come home."

After saying that, he turned to the crowd who had stopped to watch the commotion and said, “Look at me, don’t the child and I have exactly the same eyes? Nobody would believe we’re not father and son.”

Tianci does indeed have a pair of peach blossom eyes, but those eyes are inherited from Qin Wenjun.

This man wanted to be Tianci's father just by looking at his eyes.

Qin Wenjun was naturally furious.

She casually pointed, trying to find someone with the same features as Tianci to refute him.

Unexpectedly, it pointed directly at Bai Yanzhang, who had appeared out of nowhere.

She was a little surprised, but didn't have time to think too much about it.

He retorted to the man, "According to you, my son looks so much like his nose, ears, and mouth, they should be father and son?"

The onlookers looked at the man and Tianci, then at Tianci and Bai Yanzhang, and nodded in agreement.

“What this young lady is right. Judging from the facial features alone, the child looks more like this gentleman.”

The man glanced at Bai Yanzhang and sneered, "He has phoenix eyes, how is he similar? Besides, can he answer how many red moles you have on your lower back?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Wenjun's gaze suddenly sharpened.

The only people who knew she had a red birthmark, besides the two maids who used to serve her personally, were that person from the flower courtyard.
