Not long after, Xu Jingxiu gave a slightly wicked smile and looked Jiang Tian up and down with disdain: "It seems you've been well taken care of by him, you even dare to talk back to me. You're already a used-up woman, yet you can still find someone to take over your life. That person really doesn't discriminate between men and women."

Jiang Tian sighed deeply and fell silent.

Seeing her sigh, Xu Jingxiu's anger intensified.

He stopped talking, waved his hand, and his men stepped forward, ready to forcibly abduct Jiang Tian in the next moment.

Just then, Jiang Tian called out into the carriage, "Husband, I'm tired."

Xu Jingxiu looked at her coldly: "It's no use calling that good-for-nothing out. You must come with me today."

At that moment, the carriage curtain was lifted.

Xu Jingxiu glanced over instinctively.

The next second, his pupils dilated, and a bone-chilling cold swept over him.

Yan Heng got out of the car, and Jiang Tian went over and took his hand.

They stood side by side, while Xu Jingxiu—

"thump."

He staggered and fell to his knees.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Xu family's men were startled and hurriedly knelt down.

Wei Zhirou originally didn't want to get involved in this.

However, fearing that Xu Jingxiu might rekindle his romance with the suddenly beautiful Jiang Tian, ​​she disregarded his objections, found a carriage, and followed behind him.

She could hear the conversation between the two people clearly from inside the carriage.

She remained calm and composed until Xu Jingxiu said "Greetings to the Emperor".

But after he finished speaking, Wei Zhirou's mind went blank, and cold sweat instantly soaked her back.

The maids and old women were also trembling, especially Granny Wang, who had stopped Jiang Tian.

Using both hands and feet, they finally managed to help Wei Zhirou down from the carriage, and they all knelt down together.

On the deserted path, despite the presence of a large crowd, there was complete silence.

The chilling look in Yan Heng's eyes sent a shiver down Xu Jingxiu's spine.

He recalled the things he had said to Jiang Tian, ​​and how he had been punished by being forced to kneel for a day and a night for mentioning Jiang Tian's bad character. What else was there to be confused about?

No wonder Jiang Tian was so confident and dared to confront him in public.

No wonder……

It turns out she was with the Emperor…

Yan Heng glanced at Jiang Tian indifferently, not pulling away from her grasp, but staring down at Xu Jingxiu: "General Xu, you have quite the air of authority."

Xu Jingxiu's teeth were chattering. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to defend himself.

Yan Heng only said one sentence and then stopped talking. He took Jiang Tian's hand and walked to the carriage, then lifted her up into it.

He then got into the carriage himself.

Not long after, Yan Heng's voice came from inside the carriage: "Let's go."

The bodyguards appeared silently.

Before long, the carriage gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

Xu Jingxiu knew he was finished.

If Yan Heng had reacted on the spot, he might have had a chance.

But he didn't.

He left after saying only one sentence.

Yan Heng is too cunning; whatever he plans, he will surely strike with deadly precision.

Moreover... he holds grudges very much.

Those who had bullied him all died mysteriously later.

Xu Jingxiu's vision went black in waves.

Even though the carriage had long since disappeared from everyone's sight, not a single person dared to get up.

It wasn't until one of the bodyguards rushed back that the situation changed.

"The lady said that pregnant women should not kneel for long. General, you should take your family back."

After saying that, he left quickly.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Jingxiu stood up.

With the help of her maids, the trembling Wei Zhirou also stood up.

She could barely speak: "General..."

Xu Jingxiu's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, almost grating: "Let's go back first..."

………………

Meanwhile, in another carriage.

Yan Heng stared at Jiang Tian with a cold expression and remained silent.

Undeterred by his cold expression, Jiang Tian opened her arms and buried her head in his shoulder.

"Yes, I used you. I just want you to hear for yourself what kind of person he really is."

Yan Heng knew from the beginning that Jiang Tian wouldn't suddenly become bold and willful.

It was indeed her scheme.

Having been schemed against by her both openly and secretly many times, Yan Heng had become used to it.

When he argued with her, he ended up being the one who suffered more.

He made Jiang Tian straight up, looking directly into her eyes: "From now on, tell me directly what you want to do, and don't resort to underhanded tactics anymore."

Jiang Tian looked at him and said softly, "But I want Xu Jingxiu to die."
