Chapter 5: Cutting off one's own skin

Tsk tsk tsk...

Such a private matter, how could one notice it without sleeping with her for seventy, eighty or ninety times?

Shen Chaoyan turned his head and stared at Shen Qingwan carefully for a long while, "No wonder Sister Qingwan looks so much like Uncle Zhao, it turns out you are father and daughter! On behalf of our whole family, I congratulate Uncle Zhao, the three of us finally recognize each other!"

Before Zhao Ruhai could breathe a sigh of relief, Shen Chaoyan suddenly raised his voice again, "Since Liu and Sister Qingwan are Uncle Zhao's people, then they have spent 12,000 taels of silver from the Shen family over the years, can Uncle Zhao return it in full today?"

Just now, she kept calling him 'Lord Zhao', but when it comes to money, the girl changed her mouth to 'Uncle'.

His sister is really great!

Shen Linfeng never knew that his sister was so eloquent, he really wanted to applaud her!

"T-Ten thousand taels?" Zhao Ruhai's expression changed immediately when he saw Shen Chaoyan asking for a huge sum of money, "Why don't you just rob it?"

Ha!

When he cheated Shen Qingyuan back then, he did it so cleanly and efficiently.

Now he is not happy to pay back all the money he cheated Shen Qingyuan from?

Shen Chaoyan reminded him with a smile, "Uncle Zhao, ten thousand taels buys two lives and gives you a daughter. This deal is very well calculated!"

"Shen Qingyuan!" Zhao Ruhai couldn't say anything more about Shen Chaoyan. He turned his head and glared at Shen Qingyuan, as if Shen Qingyuan was the ungrateful man who had cheated him, "We have known each other for nearly twenty years. Is our twenty-year brotherhood going to end here today?"

"Zhao Ruhai, you better clear your mind before you talk to my father!"

Shen Chaoyan snorted coldly, "Tell me honestly, have you treated my father as a brother for all these years? I think you've almost treated him as a sucker! My father was deceived by you and raised your mistress and daughter for more than ten years, causing our whole family to eat coarse food and live in poverty. Taking ten thousand taels of silver from you is just a friendship price!"

Zhao Ruhai is a henpecked husband. He has to hand in his monthly salary every month, and he has finally saved some private money.

What's the difference between asking him for ten thousand taels and asking for his life?

Besides, when is it time for a little girl to butt in on their affairs?

Zhao Ruhai straightened his back and snorted in an evil voice, "I have no money, what can you do to me?"

Shen Chaoyan was so angry that he laughed.

These days, whoever owes money is the boss!

Shen Chaoyan rolled up his sleeves and was about to use his ultimate move.

Suddenly -

there was a loud "bang" at the gate of the courtyard.

Just now, Shen Linfeng kicked the left door panel away, and now the right door panel was also kicked away.

At the empty gate of the courtyard, there stood a tall woman.

The woman was wearing a dark red outfit, black wristbands, a red ribbon, and her black hair was tied behind her head, with only a jade hairpin.

Although she was dressed simply, she could not hide her two-meter-eight aura.

Her cold and sharp eyes fell on Zhao Ruhai, and she said word by word, "Zhao Ruhai! You are a dog who drank too much sow piss! I must beat you to death today!"

When the new character appeared, Shen Chaoyan first looked at the character profile above her head.

[Xue Anning, 36 years old, daughter of Xue Zhongming, the general of Zhenguo. ]

Xue Zhongming was the general of Zhenguo of Daxia, and Xue Anning was his youngest daughter. Xue Anning also

had five brothers. However, among her five brothers, four died on the battlefield.

Xue Zhongming didn't want to send off the young again, and didn't want Xue Anning to live in fear in the future, so he found a civil servant as her son-in-law.

Zhao Ruhai was born in a humble family, and marrying Xue Anning was really marrying up.

But Xue Zhongming didn't know at all that Zhao Ruhai was honest in front of others, but a scumbag and coquettish behind others.

He said that he would only have Xue Anning as his wife in his life, but in fact he played more than anyone else outside.

The moment Zhao Ruhai saw Xue Anning, his back felt cold and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "Husband, husband, wife, why are you here?"

Madam?

Shen Linfeng dropped his jaw when he heard Zhao Ruhai's address, "Sister, this cool and beautiful sister is actually the wife of Zhao Ruhai, a big breeder? Does Zhao Ruhai deserve it?"

Shen Chaoyan: "Well, he doesn't deserve it."

Xue Anning has majestic facial features and looks much better than Liu Ruyan. At first glance, she is a rich general's daughter. What virtue does Zhao Ruhai have to marry her?

Xue Anning cast his gaze towards Zhao Ruhai, and pulled out a dagger from his waist without saying a word, "Zhao Ruhai, when you married me, you swore a solemn oath that if you could not be devoted to me for the rest of your life, you would kill yourself. Now, do you want to do it yourself, or do I do it for you?"

Those were words he said after the wedding ceremony when he was drunk, how could they count?

Zhao Ruhai thought to himself.

However, looking at the dagger shining coldly in the sunlight, his knees softened and he knelt down in front of Xue Anning sleekly, "Madam, I was wrong! Please forgive me this time! I promise there won't be a next time!"

Facing his plea for mercy, Xue Anning didn't even blink, "Now you only have two choices, either the adulterer and the adulteress are put in a pig cage together, or you castrate yourself and sign a divorce letter!"

When she received the letter from the Shen Mansion today, she immediately asked someone to prepare a car to go to Yanbo Lane.

She heard everything that happened just now clearly outside the door.

She can't tolerate any sand in her eyes and can't accept dirty things.

Since Zhao Ruhai has betrayed her, either get out or die.

Shen Chaoyan's eyes widened as she watched from the side. Xue Anning was indeed the daughter of a military family, so domineering!

Zhao Ruhai knew Xue Anning's personality too well.

They had been married for more than ten years, and Xue Anning always kept his word.

However, he neither wanted to die nor to be a eunuch.

Zhao Ruhai knelt in front of Xue Anning and burst into tears, "Madam, I dare not do it again! Think about our daughter, Tongtong cannot live without a father! It's all because of that bitch Liu Ruyan. She deliberately gave birth to the child just to destroy our relationship! Madam, don't fall for her trick!"

Bang!

Xue Anning was in no mood to listen to his excuses, and kicked him right in the heart, "It takes two to tango! Do you still want to pass on the blame? If you hadn't been unable to control your third leg, would this have happened?"

She said, taking a step forward, "Are you going to do it or not? If you don't, I'll chop that thing off for you!" As she

spoke, she thrust the dagger in Zhao Ruhai's crotch fiercely.

Zhao Ruhai shuddered with fear, and kicked his butt back.

Then, he watched helplessly as the dagger stabbed into the soil less than half an inch away from his crotch.

What a close call!

He was almost a eunuch! (,,#Д)

He was still in shock when he heard Xue Anning speak again, "I don't have much patience. You don't have much time left."

Zhao Ruhai glanced at the dagger between his legs and cried out in fear.

He cried so loudly, "Madam! Spare my life! I don't want to die... wuwu... I don't want to be castrated... wuwu..."

"The government is investigating the case!"

At this moment, the voice of the yamen runners came from the gate of the courtyard.

Zhao Ruhai heard the voice, wiped his nose and tears, and immediately felt that he was fine again, "Help! Someone come quickly! Save me!"

Several yamen runners immediately stepped forward, looked at the situation in the courtyard, and immediately grabbed Zhao Ruhai, "You are the adulterer!"

Zhao Ruhai's two arms were twisted behind his body by the yamen runners, and his face was distorted in pain, "You bunch of bastards! I am the Minister of the Ministry of Justice! How dare you use violence against me?"

The yamen runners did not relax their strength at all, and replied sternly, "In the capital, the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people! We don't care what kind of book you are! If you have a grievance, go to the yamen and tell our masters!"

Zhao Ruhai often neglected his duties and slipped out to fool around during office hours.

Therefore, the yamen runners only knew Shen Qingyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, but no one knew him.

"Madam, save me!" Zhao Ruhai was held by the yamen runners, unable to move, and could only ask Xue Anning for help.

Xue Anning ignored him, raised her hand and pointed at Liu Ruyan and her daughter, saying, "The adulterer has been arrested, the whore is there, and the best evidence of adultery is their daughter. You know what to do, right?"

The yamen runners immediately arrested Liu Ruyan and Shen Qingwan.

Shen Qingwan stiffened her neck in dissatisfaction, "In broad daylight, how can you arrest people casually?"

"The yamen never has the word 'casual' when handling cases. We received a report. If you are not convinced, you can prove your innocence after returning to the yamen with us. We promise that we will never wrongly accuse the innocent!"

Shen Qingwan also learned about Zhao Ruhai and Liu Ruyan's affair today.

She saw it with her own eyes and had no way to refute the yamen runners, so she could only be taken away.

However, she had a way to get away. She couldn't let this idiot who was committing adultery in broad daylight ruin her future and reputation!

Before leaving, the leader politely greeted Shen Qingyuan, "Sir Shen, we still have to interrogate the suspect, so we'll take our leave first."

These guys in the yamen were really discerning and made the road easier.

When Shen Qingwan was escorted past Shen Chaoyan, Shen Chaoyan stared at her for a few times, and the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong.

Huh?

Where's the halo of the heroine above Shen Qingwan's head?

Why is it gone?

She immediately communicated with the Book of Heaven with her mind: [Book of Heaven, have you activated the underage protection mode for me again? Why can't I see the halo above Shen Qingwan's head? 】
