Chapter 1161: Climbing the ladder of fame and wealth (17)

Cui Zhihuan naturally would not let it go after he returned. Even Qi Liangjun became resentful, thinking that she had been infatuated with him, but Qi Liangjun not only did not appreciate it, but also blamed her for a lowly woman. He was really ungrateful. So let him see the power of herself, the daughter of a marquis.

As an uneducated, domineering and brainless young lady, she naturally did not have any clever means of framing others. She could only use simple and crude methods to frame others, and her methods were shallow and crude.

To deal with Qi Liangjun, a man she both loved and hated, she chose to bribe others and frame him for stealing the heirloom jade pendant of a student who was also going to Beijing to take the imperial examination. After Qi Liangjun was unable to defend himself, she came out to express her belief in Qi Liangjun's innocence, and then "took great pains" to help him find out the truth and clear his name... Was she afraid that Qi Liangjun would not be grateful to her? And fall in love with her?

Cui Zhihuan felt that her plan was a great way to kill two birds with one stone. Not only did she teach Qi Liangjun a lesson for siding with others and hurting her feelings, but she also demonstrated her family background and power, making Qi Liangjun grateful to her.

However, although she had good intentions, things did not develop as she expected. Qi Liangjun was originally a very talented person, so how could he be brought down by such a crude and simple frame-up?

He proved his innocence in just a few words, and at the same time, he found out the student who framed him and actually stole the jade pendant, making the truth known. As a result, his reputation among the students was not only not damaged, but it was even improved, which was admirable.

As for Ao Shichu, Cui Zhihuan hated her deeply as a "fox spirit" who had seduced Qi Liangjun, so he dealt with her in the most vicious way - he bribed thugs to insult her, thinking that she had lost her innocence, and Qi Liangjun would naturally not like her anymore.

If it was against an ordinary woman, Cui Zhihuan's simple and crude plan, although vicious, would almost certainly succeed. After all, a woman with no strength at all could not possibly resist seven or eight young and strong thugs.

However, it happened that Ao Shichu was not an ordinary woman. Those thugs blocked Ao Shichu in the alley and said with an evil smile: "Little beauty, don't blame us. We brothers are just following orders. Who made you offend the noble? The noble wants to destroy your innocence, and you can't escape. You might as well serve us obediently this time, and you can suffer less, hehe..."

"Have I offended a noble person?" Ao Shichu raised her eyebrows when she heard this. She knew just by thinking with her heels who the "noble person" she had offended recently was. Wasn't it Cui Zhihuan, the fourth lady of the Rong'an Marquis' Mansion?

"They are so unscrupulous that they don't even take ordinary people like me into consideration." Ao Shichu sighed. As an ordinary citizen, she felt that it was necessary for her to eliminate violence and protect the good and get rid of these bad elements that undermine social order and stability.

So the unlucky few hooligans were dealt with by Ao Shichu. Most of them became hooligans just because they were young and strong, and had a lot of strength but were lazy and gluttonous. Their martial arts skills were just fancy moves, so Ao Shichu broke their legs without any effort. After breaking them, she was very interested in removing and re-installing each joint of their bodies, over and over again, and tortured these people until they burst into tears and begged for mercy, saying that they would never do bad things again. Only then did Ao Shichu let them go.

As for the minor problems that might arise from their excessive movements, such as habitual dislocation of joints, that was none of Ao Shichu's business. Anyway, these villains who dared to destroy a woman's innocence had to be left without the strength to do bad things.

After dealing with these minions, Ao Shichu had no intention of letting the culprit go. Originally, Ao Shichu was too lazy to retaliate against those people in Rong'an Marquis Mansion. After all, they were destined to suffer the consequences in the future.

But she didn't expect that she didn't retaliate, but Cui Zhihuan couldn't wait to jump out and provoke her. So she would not be polite.

Ao Shichu did not do anything earth-shattering. She just sneaked into the Rong'an Marquis Mansion on a dark and windy night, found Cui Zhihuan's boudoir, asked her to gently touch the leaves of the golden-skinned tree, and then quickly stuffed her mouth so that she could not scream.

The golden bark tree is one of the trees with poisonous thorns on its leaves. Anyone who touches its leaves will feel severe burning pain, a pain worse than death. It is one of the best options to take revenge on enemies without anyone noticing, and is a must-have plant in Ao Shichu's companion space.

Cui Zhihuan should feel honored to be able to let Ao Shichu use this powerful plant. Ao Shichu took this opportunity to avenge the original owner in his previous life.

Looking at Cui Zhihuan, with his mouth stuffed, whimpering and struggling on the bed, with tears and snot all over his face, crawling and rolling out to find someone, Ao Shichu left with satisfaction.

Ao Shichu jumped onto the roof of Anrong Marquis's mansion. When passing by a courtyard, he suddenly heard a pretentious voice: "Second Master, why did you take so long to come to see me? I thought you had forgotten me..."

"How could that be? My dear... Haven't I, the Second Master, been closely watched by the tigress recently? Stop talking and serve the Second Master well... Hehe, my dear, do you like the Second Master or the old master more..."

"Oh, that's disgusting! How can the old man be as strong as you, the second master?"

…

Hearing this explosive conversation, Ao Shichu's eyes widened immediately. She was not even in a hurry to run away. She lifted a tile and looked down. Hey, isn't this Rong'an Hou's concubine Liu? As my concubine, she is actually having an affair with the second master Cui Xiuwen! What an incest...

Tsk tsk, this is worthy of being the Rong'an Marquis Mansion, a nest of snakes and rats. Ao Shichu's eyes rolled, thinking, how can such a scandal be allowed to remain unknown?

So she jumped down to Aunt Liu's yard, took out a fire starter and lit the window paper. It happened that Aunt Liu and Cui Xiuwen had sent away all the servants in order to facilitate their secret meeting, which made it convenient for Ao Shichu to make a big noise.

"Help, there's a fire!" Ao Shichu shouted with her inner strength. In the silent night, her shout for help was like a drop of water falling into hot oil, which immediately made a crackling sound and woke up many people in the Rong'an Marquis Mansion.

Soon, people from all directions came running towards the yard to put out the fire. Ao Shichu took advantage of the chaos to jump onto the roof and ran away. Presumably, while putting out the fire, these people would soon discover that Marquis Rong'an's favorite concubine was having an affair with the second master. It was really exciting to be caught on the spot by so many people.

Ao Shichu felt very sorry that he could not stay and witness the ugly face of Marquis Rong'an when he found out that his concubine was having an affair with his son.

After causing chaos in the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion, she returned to her own home not long after.
