Not long after, Yao Qianshu returned.
After looking left and right to make sure no one was following him, he closed the door tightly.
Seeing the bewildered expressions on their faces, Yao Qianshu gasped, "In a moment... in a moment, let him see what a brainless person has done!!"
Lin Wanwan said, "You didn't go to find Lin Shixuan, did you?"
Yao Qianshu was taken aback. "How did you know?"
"I'm so smart!"
Seeing that he had been discovered, Yao Qianshu stopped hiding it. "Hmph, I'm not that stupid."
"I paid someone else to go."
"I call this an act of heroism. Shen Lanxue will be punished for betraying Lin Shixuan. Retribution will come sooner or later, so what's wrong with punishing her in advance?"
King Yama: That's my business, what's it to you?
Everyone was speechless, but Shen Lanxue deserved it all.
A moment later, they heard rustling footsteps outside the door, and then the door was kicked open with a loud bang.
The people dining downstairs heard this sound and all got up and looked up.
Shen Lanxue was lying on the round table when she heard the door being kicked open. She hurriedly grabbed her clothes from the floor and covered herself with them.
When he saw Lin Shixuan appear at the door, he was filled with terror and his face turned pale.
Lin Shixuan stood at the door of the private room, holding a knife in his hand, his eyes like a wolf, fierce and unusual.
When he caught a glimpse of the two people inside the room, a man and a woman with disheveled clothes and flustered expressions, his eyes seemed to burn with raging flames, almost bursting forth.
"Shen Lanxue! How dare you betray me?!" His voice was deep and angry.
After a moment of panic, Shen Lanxue cried out, "Husband, listen to me... It was him, he forced me."
Lin Shixuan's sinister gaze fell upon Di Qingxiong.
After leisurely putting on his clothes, Di Qingxiong said disdainfully, "Shen Lanxue, don't spout nonsense."
"You were having so much fun when you were under me, how did it become that I forced you?"
"We're both getting what we need. Didn't you say your husband is a wolf in sheep's clothing?"
Shen Lanxue cried and said, "No, no, don't talk nonsense, I never said that."
As she spoke, Shen Lanxue hastily put on her clothes and then crawled on her knees to Lin Shixuan's feet.
"Husband, husband, please close the door first. Let's talk this out."
Lin Shixuan raised his leg and kicked Shen Lanxue away hard, roaring:
"Chen Lanxue, how dare you cheat on me with another man here!!"
"You even chose such an ugly man? Who are you trying to humiliate?"
Di Qingxiong hated it most when people talked about his appearance. He was jealous that Lin Shixuan, the son of a concubine, could live so well and marry a beauty like Shen Lanxue.
Now they're humiliating him to his face.
He shoved Lin Shixuan angrily, "Who the hell are you talking about?"
"What right do you have to yell at me, you son of a concubine?"
The phrase "son of a concubine" made Lin Shixuan stop what he was doing and turn to look at Di Qingxiong.
Upon discovering Lin Shixuan's hostility towards him, Di Qingxiong's eyes showed some fear.
"What...are you doing?"
"What are you doing?" Lin Shixuan's mind was filled with thoughts of his mistress's son.
Before Ye Lanyin and Ye Lanyin divorced, he was still the legitimate son of the Marquis's mansion and a good man in the eyes of outsiders. Unexpectedly, in such a short time, he has become the son of an illegitimate wife.
"What did you just say? A mistress?"
Di Qingxiong was forced into retreat by Lin Shixuan and crashed into the pear wood table. "Isn't that right?"
“Your mother was a concubine, so you are the son of a concubine.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Shixuan angrily grabbed Di Qingxiong's collar and said with furious eyes, "You adulterer, you and my wife are having an affair here, and you still dare to call me a mistress?"
Lin Shixuan gripped the dagger tightly in his hand, his anger rising higher and higher.
"Today, I must teach you a lesson."
Upon hearing Lin Shixuan's words, Shen Lanxue discovered that he had actually brought a dagger, and she cowered in a corner in fear.
Di Qingxiong felt a sharp pain in his neck from Lin Shixuan's grip on his collar, and he tried to pry Lin Shixuan's hand off but couldn't.
Then he roared, "Lin Shixuan, you'd better let me go. It takes two to tango. You saw what just happened; she did it willingly."
After hearing this, Lin Shixuan glanced at Shen Lanxue, who was huddled in the corner, and slowly loosened his grip on Di Qingxiong's clothes.
Di Qingxiong casually patted his clothes and said smugly, "That's right. Sometimes you have to be realistic and considerate."
"The Marquis's mansion has fallen on hard times and is no longer as glorious as it was when the eldest daughter of the Ye family was alive. If you ask me, you are still not blessed."
"Since your wife has agreed to accompany me today, this twenty taels of silver is yours!"
As he spoke, he took out twenty taels of silver from his waist and handed it to Lin Shixuan.
Lin Shixuan had originally intended to go and teach Shen Lanxue a lesson, but then he glanced at the copper coin in Di Qingxiong's hand.
With Shen Lanxue's beautiful face and alluring charm, Lin Shixuan suddenly had a plan.
Twenty taels.
It can last for half a month.
Then he stretched out his hand, waiting for Di Qingxiong to place the copper coin in his hand.
But Di Qingxiong would never do as he wished.
He was already jealous of Lin Shixuan marrying Shen Lanxue, and now that Lin Shixuan had slept with Shen Lanxue right in front of him, his arrogance over the past few days had made him forget how he got to have such a good life.
Then, his hand slipped, and the copper coin fell straight to the ground with a clatter.
People downstairs heard the noise and many rushed upstairs.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. You can pick it up yourself."
Seeing that Lin Shixuan did not react, Di Qingxiong assumed he was feeling inferior, then smiled and whispered in his ear, "You're only fit to pick up this silver..."
"If you can't support a legitimate wife, you can't support a legitimate wife. This mistress will never be able to wash away the stain on her body!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Shixuan completely lost his mind. His eyes turned even more bloodshot, and he almost roared as he shouted.
"I'll kill you, I'll kill you—"
As soon as Lin Shixuan finished speaking, a strong killing intent was aroused in his eyes, and he immediately drew a dagger from his sleeve.
Suddenly, the dagger pierced towards Di Qingxiong like lightning.
With a "thud," the dagger pierced into flesh.
He was like a mad beast, thrusting in again and again.
The people who had just arrived at the door screamed in fright when they saw this scene.
"ah--"
"Murder! Murder!"
The scene quickly descended into chaos, with many people fleeing in fear, rushing downstairs.
Di Qingxiong's eyes widened suddenly, his body bent uncontrollably, and blood spurted from his chest. Then he collapsed and fell straight onto the cold ground.
With a "bang".
The neighbors, Yao Qianshu and Xiao Chengyun, huddled together, trembling with fear.
Soldiers who happened to be patrolling the street heard the unusual activity at Hongxinglou and rushed in immediately.
"Who's causing trouble?"
