Chapter 38 This move is too cruel

Forcing Ye Yizhen to cut off her own arm and getting her hands involved in a murder not only stabbed her in the heart but also destroyed her perfect image.

From now on, which servant would still be willing to serve her wholeheartedly? Who would still be willing to risk their lives for her?

This is destroying her foundation!

Most importantly, what would Jiang Wenzhou think? He loved her because she was kind and gentle. Would he still love her if her hands were stained with blood?

This matter is like a thorn that can cause discord at any time.

This move is so cruel, too cruel, Yun Zheng is a cruel person!

Guyu untied the chains that bound Ye Yichen's hands and stuffed a long sword into Ye Yichen's hands.

Ye Yizhenru received the hot potato and was terrified, "No, I dare not!"

Jiang Wenzhou was furious and shouted, "Yun Zheng, are you still human? How can you say such cruel words?"

Yun Zheng smiled slightly. "Alright, let's continue with the torture. I heard there's a kind of branding where a red-hot iron is used to brand a person, and it makes a sizzling sound. How about letting me open my eyes?"

Li Wuyang was silent for a moment. She knew how to bully others with her power. "Okay, I'll brand it on your face!"

Ye Yizhen was trembling all over, her face was frighteningly pale, and she was about to collapse, "No, no."

Nanny Wang looked at her deeply and suddenly shouted, "Miss, I don't want to live anymore, I want to die! Please help this old slave to be free."

Ye Yizhen closed her eyes, countless emotions swirling.

Li Wuyang was very impatient, "I will count to three, one, two..."

Before San could finish his words, Ye Yizhen thrust her sword down with great speed, precision, and pierced Nanny Wang's heart.

Nanny Wang groaned, blood flowed out of her chest, her eyes gradually turned white, and she lost her breath.

The entire place was in a dreadful silence. Jiang Wenzhou stared at the delicate woman in disbelief. How could this be? He must be having a nightmare!

Yun Zheng raised the corner of her mouth slightly. It was certainly satisfying to kill the enemy with one's own hands, but it was even more satisfying to let the enemy die at the hands of the master he was loyal to.

In her previous life, she suffered a lot at the hands of Nanny Wang. Starvation was a common occurrence. She was also forced to kneel down to eat pig food and lick her shoes. It was humiliating in every way.

In this life, everything has changed.

At this moment, she felt relieved.

When a person dies, everything is over.

Ye Yichen seemed to have been greatly shocked. Her face turned frighteningly pale and her body was shaking. Somehow, she fell towards Li Wuyang.

Li Wuyang watched Ye Yizhen fall over expressionlessly. Just when she was about to fall into his arms, she stepped to the side with her long legs at the right time, avoiding her perfectly.

Ye Yizhen fell heavily to the ground, closed her eyes and fainted.

The whole place was unusually silent.

Yun Zheng couldn't help but laugh, "Is this considered throwing yourself into someone's arms?"

Li Wuyang raised his thin lips and said coldly, "It counts, why not?"

"Prince Jiang, will your sweetheart fall into the arms of another man at any time?"

He knew how to stab a man in the heart.

Jiang Wenzhou was completely numb, still recovering from the nightmare of Ye Yizhen's murder. "This is a misunderstanding. She is weak by nature..."

Yun Zheng nodded seriously, "Yes, he killed his own wet nurse so neatly, without even blinking an eye."

Jiang Wenzhou: ...

When Pingxi Hou and his men rushed to Mingjingsi without stopping, they saw their distraught son and daughter-in-law with blood-stained clothes coming out.

He reined in his whip, furious and anxious, "Did they torture you? No matter what you confess, it was forced upon you. You must not admit it."

How can I clear my name if I don't make a scene? I can't just accept it silently.

The two of them were silent, as if they had lost their souls.

Pingxi Hou was extremely anxious. What happened? Was he mute?

"Master Guyu, you must give me an explanation for what happened today. What did my son do wrong? Why did you capture him?"

Gu Yu looked arrogant, "First, we didn't arrest Prince Jiang. He came here on his own initiative for Ye Yizhen. We can't drive him away."

"Secondly, Ye Yizhen's nanny, Wang, hired someone to kidnap the child, fabricated facts, and bribed people. The evidence is irrefutable."

Pingxi Hou secretly cursed Wang for not doing her job properly and giving herself to others to use as evidence.

"So, what's going on with Ye Yizhen?"

Gu Yu sneered, "My Lord, you're joking. Your housekeeper got into trouble, and you said it had nothing to do with you. Do you believe it?"

Pingxi Hou argued, "He deserves to be killed for abusing his power without telling his master. His master was only guilty of negligence."

Guyu showed a strange smile on her face, "Yes, it was the crime of negligence. So, Ye Yizhen personally killed the wet nurse who raised her to prove her innocence."

Pingxi Hou gasped. It was Wang who protected Ye Yizhen and brought her all the way to the capital to live with her relatives. Such a friendship of sharing hardships was actually killed?

"You're not wrong?"

Guyu taunted, "Congratulations, Lord Marquis. The Marquis's Mansion has married a ruthless and iron-blooded daughter-in-law. You won't have to worry about anything in the future."

Pingxi Hou glanced at Ye Yizhen. Her eyes were filled with tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice. But when Pingxi Hou saw her, he felt a chill in his heart.

If he could even treat his loyal servants well, then what about others? This was the second time he had misjudged his two daughters-in-law. Neither of them was easy to deal with.

This is not over yet. Gu Yu laughed and said, "By the way, Lord, stop spreading rumors that my Ninth Prince has taken a fancy to Ye and abducted her back to the Mirror Division. You don't mind shame, but we do. You dare to throw anything at my Ninth Prince."

"If there's a next time, I'll see you in prison!"

He took a firm stance and defended the reputation of his own Ninth Thousand Year Old Man. Everyone was stunned. What?

It was like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head, chilling him to the bone. Pingxi Hou's face turned pale, "This must be a misunderstanding..."

Before he could finish, Guyu turned around and looked behind him, "Nine Thousand Years Old is so kind that he has granted you special permission to collect the bodies."

A guard threw Wang's bloody body onto Ye Yizhen. Ye Yizhen looked into Wang's eyes, which were still open, screamed, and fainted.

This time, I really felt dizzy.

Guyu turned around and returned to the Mingjing Division, and only then did the onlookers dare to say a few words behind his back.

"Mingjingsi is acting too arrogantly and must be impeached."

"What's the use? The Emperor is blindly tolerating the Ninth Thousand Year Old Man. We can't touch him at all."

Pingxi Hou slapped his son and said, "You evil creature, look at the wife you married! What a piece of crap! You have completely disgraced my old face."

Inside the Mingjing Division, Yun Zheng was shocked. "What? Let me raise the money myself? Can't the Minister of Revenue take over?"

Li Wuyang picked up the teacup and took a sip. "The Minister of Revenue is too busy with all sorts of things to take care of this."

Yun Zheng knew it was just an excuse, but she didn't point it out.

She rolled her eyes and came up with an idea, "Well, hold two auctions to sell the dowry. Invite officials and dignitaries to one, and wealthy businessmen to the other."

"However, I need your help to post notices to each family."

He has enough weight, but she, the powerful and influential will not give her face.

Li Wuyang looked at her steadily, "How sure are you?"

Yun Zheng said with a smile, "Perfect. When it comes to business, I'm a professional."

"Okay, it's decided."

Yun Zheng said goodbye, took two steps, and suddenly stopped.

"Ah, some of my precious dowry was snatched away by Prince Jiang, including the gifts I was planning to present to the Emperor and the Queen Mother."

Li Wuyang raised his eyebrows, "What a coincidence?"

Yun Zheng looked innocent. "Yes, it's just a coincidence. I don't know what's wrong with him. He actually has the guts to go and steal the dowry."

"Seeking death." Li Wuyang's mind raced. Could it be that someone in the palace was backing him up? Who was it?

He thought, "Lichun, accompany Miss Yun back to the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion to collect the dowry. Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed!"

"Yes." Lichun responded respectfully. He only knew that anyone who stole the emperor and empress's things would not have a good end!

Yun Zheng smiled, haha, the Pingxi Marquis Mansion is going to be in trouble again!
