Chapter 236 Encounter

The eldest prince was the most impatient and said directly: "I will take my men to kidnap that woman."

Chu Ci also said immediately: "I'll go to Zhang's house now."

His words were crisp and clear, revealing unquestionable determination.

Fan Jingrui immediately responded: "I'll go with my wife."

His tone was firm, as if it was an oath that could not be changed; his eyes were gentle and full of concern, making people feel warm and at ease like the warm spring sun.

The purple-robed envoy also consciously stood behind Chu Ci.

Just as the Fifth Prince was about to speak, the First Prince and Chu Ci simultaneously warned him, "Fifth brother (cousin), you stay here."

The Fifth Prince felt depressed, but seeing the determined looks in everyone's eyes, he knew it was useless to argue at this moment, so he nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, you better be careful."

Everyone nodded solemnly, and then quickly took action according to their established plan.

If you want to cause trouble, you can't do it quietly.

As soon as Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui went out, they went straight to the brothel where Zhang Jiang, the eldest son of the Zhang family, was without hesitation.

Having spent the entire night in absurdity, Zhang Jiang decided to stay here overnight. At this moment, he was still sleeping like a dead pig.

Even though the cold sword was placed on his neck, he did not react at all.

It was the terrified scream of the woman next to him that woke him from his deep sleep.

"What are you yelling for, old man..." Zhang Jiang was sleepy and his face was full of impatience. He cursed subconsciously.

Seeing this, Chu Ci tightened the sword in his hand suddenly, and the sharp blade instantly cut a red mark on Zhang Jiang's neck.

The intense pain immediately spread throughout his body like an electric current, allowing Zhang Jiang to regain his sanity in an instant.

He finally noticed the Chu Ci couple standing by the bed, and a fawning smile immediately appeared on his face. However, his words were filled with a somewhat unpleasant and sarcastic tone, "Master Fan, Madam Fan, how did you find yourself here?"

At this point, he deliberately lowered his voice and muttered, "Didn't Master Fan reject Zhang? Is he using Zhang as a shield again in private?"

Zhang Jiang's eyes were rolling around, and his tone was full of suspicion and sarcasm. His expression made people feel disgusted.

Chu Ci didn't stand for it when she saw this. She just flashed and shook her wrist lightly, swinging the sword in her hand like flowing water. With a flash of cold light, she instantly cut a long gash on Zhang Jiang's arm.

Blood gushed out instantly, and in the blink of an eye, the quilt that Zhang Jiang was covering was covered with a large area of ​​red.

Zhang Jiang finally realized he was scared. His face turned pale and he said in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. Let's talk it over nicely. Let's talk it over nicely."

Chu Ci didn't waste any words and ordered directly in a stern voice: "Put on your clothes and go back to Zhang's house!"

Zhang Jiang knew that his sister was coming back. When he heard that Chu Ci was going to fall into the trap, a flash of joy appeared in his eyes.

However, he pretended to be terrified and said, "Yes, yes."

It’s just that my arm that was stabbed hurts so much!

He didn't dare to get angry at Chu Ci, so he insulted the woman who was helping him put on his clothes.

The woman was trembling with fear, tears welling up in her eyes.

Chu Ci's disgust in her heart was even stronger, but she couldn't stand up for the woman at the moment, so she made up an excuse: "Noisy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stabbed Zhang Jiang with the sword again without hesitation, adding a new wound to his arm.

When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Moreover, a man like Chu Ci, who holds a sharp sword and whose anger may strike at any moment, is really frightening.

Zhang Jiang finally stopped cursing. He clenched his teeth, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his eyes were full of fear and submission.

Even so, Zhang Jiang endured it tightly, biting his lips tightly. Even though his face was distorted by pain and endurance, he refused to reveal any news about his sister Zhang Lulu's return.

This shows that Zhang Lulu’s return is of extraordinary importance to the Zhang family.

Thinking of this, Chu Ci's eyes turned slightly, and he had a plan in mind. He casually asked: "Your father doesn't want Zhang Tao to be the next heir of the Zhang family?"

As expected, Zhang Jiang, who was completely unprepared, blurted out, "Why would my father be willing to hand over the Zhang family to that bastard?"

"Bastard? That's not right..." Chu Ci was delighted and wanted to continue trying to get more information out of him.

However, Zhang Jiang had regained consciousness. His eyes rolled quickly, and he quickly changed his words, "I just look down on Zhang Tao. He just deceived Grandpa when he was young. The Zhang family should be mine."

At this time, Zhang Jiang's eyes were evasive and his tone became tough, trying to cover up his previous gaffe.

Seeing this, Chu Ci knew that no matter how much he asked, he would not get any useful information, so he simply gave up asking.

She frowned and urged impatiently, "Hurry up! I don't have the patience to wait for you to dawdle here. If you don't move quickly, be careful! My sword has no eyes!"

Zhang Jiang secretly groaned inwardly, "Doesn't he want to go faster? He can't go faster, okay?"

And the woman who was helping nearby had hands shaking like a sieve, she couldn't even hold the clothes steady, and it was unclear whether she was helping or hindering.

Zhang Jiang couldn't help but glare at the woman fiercely, cursing under his breath, "You clumsy thing! You can't even do this!"

But his hand movements did become much faster. Chu Ci pretended not to hear, but his expression remained stern, and he stared at Zhang Jiang closely to prevent him from making any more small movements.

On the other side, in the Zhang residence, the head of the Zhang family received the news that Chu Ci and his wife had actually attacked his beloved eldest son. He was immediately furious and had long thrown his cousin Lin Wentang's previous warning to the wind.

"Come here, follow me to bring back the eldest young master." Then, the head of the Zhang family, with a gloomy face and wide-open eyes, led a group of servants holding sticks and marched towards Chu Ci.

Such a big commotion immediately caused a stir on the street. People stopped to watch, whispering to each other, and speculating what had happened.

Chu Ci intentionally concealed a few things.

But Zhang Jiang was a celebrity in the brothel, and now he was being pointed at by a woman with a sword. Naturally, this scene attracted the attention of many onlookers.

So, the two groups met on the bustling streets of Meicheng.

The head of the Zhang family could tell at a glance that something was wrong with his son. He saw that Zhang Jiang's face was pale, and the wound on his arm was not visible.

But seeing his son's clearly offended expression, he was instantly enraged and immediately struck out. "Master Fan, isn't this a bit too much? I'll give you double, not triple, whatever Zhang Tao gave you. As long as you release Jiang'er, I'll forgive the past."

As Patriarch Zhang spoke, he took a few steps forward, and the servants behind him also became restless.
