Yin Lang knelt on the ground and explained to Jiang Yuetong, "No! The marriage was arranged by my elders, not by my own will."

Yao Yao and I are truly in love, but the princess, being of noble status and relying on our marriage agreement, often pressures me to marry her. It was only after Yao Yao found out that she went to the princess's residence alone to try and clear things up with her.

Who would have thought that Yao Yao would end up like this? It's all my fault. I failed to persuade her. I deserve to die!

After saying that, he raised his hand and slapped himself twice.

Jiang Yuetong has seen all kinds of people. With such terrible acting skills, you think you can fool her?

"Heh," Jiang Yuetong chuckled lightly, her dark eyes fixed on him as she said coldly, "You truly deserve to die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qingfeng immediately understood.

He took out a piece of cloth and stuffed it into Yin Lang's mouth, then raised his fist and swung it at Yin Lang's face.

As he punched her, he said, "You dared to provoke my second young lady! Don't you know who you are? If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll think Huan Haizhou is easy to bully!"

"Waaaaah—"

Yin Lang, whose face was already bruised and swollen, was beaten so badly that he fell to the ground and couldn't get up, unable to make a sound.

After an unknown amount of time, seeing that he was about to lose his breath, Jiang Yuetong slowly raised her hand to stop him.

Qingfeng stopped what he was doing, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and spat at Yin Lang with disgust.

Yin Lang's eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at him.

He went to so much trouble to seduce Jiang Xinyao, he wasn't there to be bullied.

One day, he will repay all the humiliation he has suffered today!

"He's just a illegitimate son from a third-rate family. If your Yin family hadn't lost its legitimate son, this marriage wouldn't be yours. Besides, whether you're engaged or not, Yao Yao is not someone you should mess with."

After saying that, Jiang Yuetong simply waved her hand.

"Considering his good looks, have him dragged away. You know where to send him; I'll make him wish he were dead!"

"Yes!" Qingfeng nodded, then summoned two guards to support the person on the ground.

Just as she was about to leave, the tightly closed door in front of Jiang Yuetong suddenly opened, and Jiang Xinyao walked out weakly.

She looked at Jiang Yuetong with her bright, watery eyes and called out in a pitiful voice, "Sister..."

Jiang Yuetong quickly got up and helped her to her seat, frowning slightly as she said, "Your injury hasn't healed yet, why are you getting up?"

They said it like that, but they knew perfectly well what was going on in their hearts.

Yao Yao was in such a hurry to come out because she was afraid that she would really throw Yin Lang into a place like that, right?

Hearing the commotion, Qingfeng, who was not far away, stopped and turned around, bowing respectfully as he called out, "Second Miss."

Upon seeing his savior appear, a look of surprise flashed in Yin Lang's eyes, and he struggled to get closer.

"Waaaaah—"

Because his mouth was stuffed with cloth, Jiang Xinyao couldn't understand what he was trying to say.

She looked at Jiang Yuetong with pleading eyes, and the other woman couldn't help but roll her eyes at her.

While feeling disappointed in Yao Yao, Jiang Yuetong also felt guilty, blaming herself for being too busy with her own affairs and neglecting Yao Yao, otherwise today's incident wouldn't have happened.

Judging from their appearance, they must have been in contact for a long time, but Wen Tian hadn't even told her.

It's too good for her to die so quickly.

"You, you're being played like a fool without even realizing it." After saying that, Jiang Yuetong glanced sideways at Qingfeng.

Qingfeng immediately brought the person back.

Yin Lang, covered in injuries, had just been thrown to the ground when he gritted his teeth and tried to pounce on her, looking quite pitiful.

He achieved his goal.
