After Jun Xiaoqiao finished speaking, Cen Xi rolled her eyes in exasperation. They were indeed best friends; both loved watching drama and had a perverse sense of humor. The difference was that she had never had a boyfriend in her past life, while this woman had always considered every boyfriend her true love, only for those relationships to end without a trace.
After she finished speaking, Cen Xi no longer needed to question these four people, because the outline was crystal clear. The mastermind, accomplices, and henchmen were all identified, so what was the point of her interrogating them?
She ignored the rumors circulating in the manor, letting them go. But since they had invited the adulterer and arranged such a grand show for him, it would be unbecoming of her vengeful nature if she didn't play along.
“Since you were an accomplice when you were planning this, then be an accomplice this time too. Go right now and kidnap that Fu Jingyi’s mansion. We’ll go together to Governor Jun and get a fair judgment.”
Cen Xi looked at Jun Xiaoqiao and said sharply.
"Why should I listen to you? I'm not going!"
Qu Jun Xiao Qiao rolled her eyes, sat calmly and unmoved.
"You have to go, whether you like it or not. If you can beat me, you can argue with me. You were involved in this too. Since I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself, and you don't want it, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
Cen Xi looked at Jun Xiaoqiao with a smile and said.
Jun Xiaoqiao knew her well; if she laughed like that before, someone was definitely in big trouble, haha! Her legs trembled slightly; this joke seemed to have gone too far, so she quickly changed her attitude and replied with a smile:
"It's no big deal. Kidnapping someone is fine. I'll be there right now and get them by midnight. We'll have a big punitive expedition at the Jun residence tonight. I'm leaving now, don't miss me too much."
After saying this, Jun Xiaoqiao made a quick getaway, just like when she came.
"You four, don't you want to make amends for your mistakes?"
Cen Xi knew Jun Xiaoqiao wouldn't last long, so she didn't even glance at him as he fled. Instead, she directly questioned the four people in the room. Normally, she would severely punish those who coveted her, but these four were still somewhat useful to her today.
Let's wait and see how they perform!
"think!"
"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!"
After Cen Xi finished speaking, the four of them nodded in unison and then made a sound.
"Since you want to, then go and kidnap that Jun Jianfang who bribed you. If you see him before midnight, I'll give you a small punishment. If you don't bring him here, I'll make cured meat—cured meat from a living person."
After giving them a cold look, Cen Xi raised her hand and released the pressure points of the other three people before striding out of the courtyard gate.
"Aunt...Miss! Where should we send the people on the list?"
The fat man, suppressing the urge to urinate, mustered his courage and asked.
"Take them to Jun Jianling's courtyard, I'll wait for you there."
Cen Xi left without turning her head after saying those words.
After she left, the other three skinny men, who looked like bamboo poles, asked the fat man:
"Second Brother Xue, are we really going to listen to him and bring Miss Jun Jiu here by kidnapping?"
"Otherwise what? Do you three want to turn into minced meat?"
The fat man glared angrily at his three unreliable companions, then clumsily picked up his clothes and put them on.
As he put it on, he thought to himself, "What sins has he committed? What madness has possessed him to agree to Miss Jun Jiu's request and do such a stupid thing?"
"Alright, since you've put it that way, we brothers have no choice but to do it."
He gestured towards the one among the other three who was slightly more proportionate in appearance, and the young master replied dejectedly, "Of the four of them, the fat man's father is the most powerful and has the highest status." Since he had already said that, what other options were there?
"Let's go, stop dawdling. If we can't get there by midnight, we might really lose our lives to that witch."
After letting out a long sigh, the fat man glared at his three companions and tried to squeeze out of the door. However, his body was too broad, and it took him a while to manage to squeeze through.
What was supposed to be a hilarious scene turned into a nightmare for his three henchmen. They'd been hoping for a comfortable night with a woman, but instead, they'd kicked a hornet's nest. What bad luck! After tonight, whatever the outcome, they were certain to get a beating.
In the Cuiwei Courtyard of Jun Jianling's residence, Jun Jianling was sitting in front of her dressing table, waiting for the servants to report on the day's results. Unexpectedly, her courtyard became lively shortly after she removed her hairpins.
Before Cen Xiren arrived, a gust of wind blew the door to Jun Jianling's boudoir off.
Just as Jun Jianling was about to get up to see who was so bold, Cen Xi was already standing in front of her, grabbing her neck and asking:
"Miss Jun, have we met before? Have I offended you?"
"You...you let me go first!"
Being choked was indeed uncomfortable, but Jun Jianling was still able to squeeze out a few words.
"Fine, as you wish, I'll release you. Now you can tell me where I offended you? Or when can we meet?"
When you cause trouble for someone, you have to give them a chance to appeal. Cen Xi glanced at him and generously let go of his hand, waiting for the woman to continue. After all, she was Jun Jianchou's sister, and it wouldn't be right to go too far.
“You…you whore, barging into a woman’s boudoir in the middle of the night and committing indecent acts, is this the proper conduct of a guest in another household? You show no respect for the host at all, and I don’t know which eye of the Water Minister took a liking to you, truly…truly incomprehensible.”
Once her neck was freed, Jun Jianling showed no mercy, pointing her finger at Cen Xi's nose and launching into a tirade of insults. She was completely oblivious to the murderous intent in his eyes.
"You're talking about Shen Jinchen taking a liking to me, right? I think he might be blind to have taken a liking to me. As for the word 'whore,' I'm sorry, but I can't accept it. I've only slept with one man since I was a baby. How could I possibly be worthy of that title? Miss Jun, have you lost your mind to spout such nonsense?"
Cen Xi raised an eyebrow, then slowly chewed on the words Jun Jianling had used to insult her as a whore, staring at Jun Jianling with a solemn expression as she asked the question.
"She spent one night in my brother's room, and then stayed at Prime Minister Shen's guest house. Now she has the nerve to ask me if I'm worthy of the word 'whore'? It's utterly ridiculous. As expected of a country bumpkin, she's just not presentable."
Jun Jianling laughed loudly, then spoke sarcastically without any politeness, his eyes filled with genuine contempt.
Seeing her cursing so enthusiastically, Cen Xi couldn't help but chuckle.
Ha! A country bumpkin, not fit for the table. It seems some people always use this phrase to elevate their own nobility. Before there was Wen Qihe, and then there were those two low-class concubines Wen Qixi gave him, and now there's going to be another one.
