Jiang Xinrou came over with a bowl of soup: "Young master must be hungry, have something to eat first."
Zhou Shuyi praised her, "You are so understanding."
After he finished speaking, he touched her body, and her face flushed slightly, making her look shy and adorable: "Young Master!"
Zhou Shuyi laughed heartily and leaned closer to her, talking to her about random things.
After the manager learned of Zhou Shuyi's thoughts, he was relieved, as long as Zhou had a plan in mind.
Jiang Xinrou was quite satisfied with Zhou Shuyi's appearance. She had heard of Zhou Shuyi's reputation when she was in Chongqing and knew that he was a complete playboy.
Before she came to see Zhou Shuyi, she made thorough preparations and knew his preferences.
Everything she did today, from her clothes and makeup to the way she spoke, was carefully planned.
At this point, Zhou Shuyi took the bait and was willing to go to Chongqing with her, and she felt that she had already succeeded halfway.
The reason Jiang Xinrou came to find Zhou Shuyi was, to some extent, because she couldn't stay by Zhou Chenyang's side any longer.
Hongxiu is cunning and has learned all of her tricks. She uses them to annoy her whenever she has free time.
Since Lin Xiuyan played a trick on him last time, Zhou Chenyang has been unable to perform in that area.
The child in Hongxiu's belly was Zhou Chenyang's hope, and during this time, Zhou Chenyang could be said to have listened to Hongxiu's every word.
Although Jiang Xinrou was Zhou Chenyang's lawfully wedded wife, her status among the city lords was extremely low.
Right now, not only is Hongxiu bullying her, but even the servants in the mansion are giving her the cold shoulder and finding ways to humiliate her every day.
Jiang Xinrou hates Zhou Chenyang and Hongxiu, but the person she hates the most is Lin Xiuyan.
She felt that her current predicament was entirely caused by Lin Xiuyan.
If Lin Xiuyan had died earlier, she would have been the only daughter of the Lin family, and everything in the Lin family would have been hers.
With the Lin family as her backing, how could Zhou Chenyang dare to treat her like this?
Lin Yunzhi and Qu Shuangyue are utterly wicked. If they adopted her in the first place, why did they keep Lin Xiuyan? Wouldn't she have been enough on her own?
Furthermore, if they hadn't treated her so badly, how could she have possibly tried to seduce Zhou Chenyang?
Besides, she seduced Zhou Chenyang because she wanted a better life. She just wanted a better life, so what's wrong with that?
Back then, Zhou Chenyang was willing to marry Lin Xiuyan into the Zhou family as well. Wouldn't it be better for Lin Xiuyan to marry Zhou Chenyang along with her?
Lin Xiuyan disagreed, but it was simply unreasonable!
She's just here to take back what's rightfully hers. They'd better cooperate, or she'll be ruthless!
When Zhou Shuyi left Liefeng City, he thought he made very little noise, but little did he know that Lin Xiuyan would find out as soon as he left.
In Lin Xiuyan's eyes, Zhou Shuyi was a money tree, so of course she had to send people to keep a close eye on him.
She chuckled softly and said, "Jiang Xinrou came to see Zhou Shuyi, and they went to Chongqing together?"
"This is really interesting!"
Ye Junfei asked her, "What do you think he'll do in Chongqing?"
Lin Xiuyan replied, "If he goes alone, I have no idea what he will do."
“But he went with Jiang Xinrou, so there’s no need to guess; they’re heading straight for the Lin residence.”
She knew Jiang Xinrou all too well; she was an extremely greedy and despicable person.
Regardless of whether Zhou Chenyang treated Jiang Xinrou well or badly, since she failed to take the entire Lin family with her, she will resent the entire Lin family and her.
She had wanted to deal with Jiang Xinrou for a while, but she had been too busy to do so.
She even attacked Jiang Xinrou, and Jiang Xinrou herself couldn't wait to run into her, which was practically courting death.
In this way, we can save a lot of effort in dealing with Jiang Xinrou.
Ye Junfei had also been disgusted by Jiang Xinrou, so he said, "Let's wipe them all out at once, so we don't have to be disgusted again."
Lin Xiuyan agreed with him: "Yes, this time we'll crush them completely and not give them a chance to jump around anymore."
Ye Junfei chuckled and asked her, "How do you plan to wipe them all out in one fell swoop?"
Lin Xiuyan crossed her arms and said, "Then we definitely need to prepare a pot specially made for them."
Ye Junfei chuckled. He knew her fighting prowess; when she decided to take care of someone, that person was basically doomed.
Lin Xiuyan asked him something else: "Has that old hag made any moves these past few days?"
Ye Junfei said calmly, "She's a smart person; she knows when she can act and when she can't."
"She hasn't made any big moves yet, but I don't think she can hold out for long."
"After all, her reputation is now ruined, which is a huge blow to the Hu family."
Lin Xiuyan knew that ever since the Prince of Pingnan brought the Princess of Pingnan back from the execution ground, the Princess of Pingnan's life was completely ruined.
That incident led to a series of repercussions:
The Ye clan seized this opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the Hu clan;
The Prince of Pingnan suddenly became much colder towards Ye Jingxian;
The Qu family came to annul the engagement on the grounds that Qu Feng was seriously ill, and proposed several times that the eldest son of the main branch, Qu Zheng, be engaged to Ye Qingwan;
Suddenly, the number of officials in Liefeng Prefecture who supported Ye Junfei increased significantly.
These past few days, Junfei has been recuperating in the manor, and the number of people coming to visit him has increased many times over.
Ye Junfei simply smiled at these matters; he had seen plenty of such opportunistic people in the capital.
He hasn't been idle these past few days, and he hasn't seen a single one of the people who came to visit him.
He had secretly compiled a list of talented people in Liefeng Prefecture beforehand, and he would visit them whenever he had free time.
He reached certain consensuses with those insightful people in his own way, and most of them were willing to serve him.
Previously, Liefeng Prefecture was controlled by powerful families such as the Hu family. Most of these talented and capable people wanted to do practical things, which did not conform to the aesthetics of these powerful families.
Therefore, these people either lived in seclusion in the mountains or held extremely low-ranking positions.
Taking advantage of the situation, the Ye clan attacked the Hu clan. In the past, when the Prince of Pingnan encountered such a situation, he would maintain a balance and would side with the Hu clan.
However, this time, Princess Pingnan made Prince Pingnan lose face. Instead of helping the Hu family as before, he deliberately went to cause trouble for them.
Corruption cases, cases of encroaching on people's farmland, cases of letting one's son commit murder, and cases of moral failings have all erupted in recent days.
Previously, when Ye Junfei went to the Hall of State Affairs, it was the Prince of Pingnan and the Hu family who tried every means to make things difficult for him.
Now, the Prince of Pingnan and the Ye clan are taking advantage of the Hu clan's misfortune in various ways, and evidence of the Hu clan's evil deeds is flying everywhere, making things quite lively.
As a result, in just a few days, many officials from Hu's faction had their official positions revoked.
