Chen Zhongyan frowned and said to Wei Ling, "I have something to do. I won't keep you company any longer." Then he left the study and soon disappeared.
Wei Ling stood up with a gloomy face, thinking about her black wooden token. It was a very important token and she couldn't let it fall into the hands of others.
She thought about it and was about to walk around Chen Zhongyan's desk to get the black wooden sign.
Suddenly, an old man walked into the study. He had a smiling face, but when he saw her actions, his face immediately fell. He frowned and looked at Wei Ling.
"Master, our master has gone out to do some work. It may be inconvenient for you to stay here, so please go back first!"
"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it next time!"
Wei Ling felt a little embarrassed, as if she had been caught trying to steal something from the study.
She wanted to explain, "I didn't, you misunderstood! I just!"
But the old man didn't seem to want to listen and squinted at her.
"Please!"
Wei Ling gritted her teeth, looked at the wooden sign so close to her, and finally gritted her teeth and had to leave first.
On the other side, Chen Zhongyan strode forward, feeling a little irritated. He had not expected that Princess Zijin had already...
From time to time, her beautiful figure would appear in his eyes.
Xiao Si secretly looked at his expression and saw that he looked very unhappy. He thought it was because of the matter of the Third Young Master.
He quickly lowered his head to reduce his presence.
Chen Zhongyan put the matter of Princess Zijin aside for the time being, sighed, and then asked Xiao Si.
"What happened to the third brother?"
His third son did not learn any good things, but only learned cockfighting, dog walking, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. He was often needed to clean up the mess.
Xiao Si looked embarrassed and whispered, "He was beaten by the Pan family and is now unconscious."
Chen Zhongyan paused and squinted at Xiao Si, "Being beaten by the Pan family? Why?"
The Pan family and his family are related by marriage, and the third son's concubine is the Pan family's cousin.
Therefore, the Pan family would not beat him for no reason. Even for his sake, they would not do it.
Unless, what the third brother did violated Mr. Pan’s bottom line.
Xiao Si lowered his head and said in a low voice, not daring to hide it.
"The Third Young Master, the Third Young Master, slept with Mr. Pan's Thirteenth Concubine... and...!" Xiao Si really didn't dare to say the rest of the words.
Needless to say, Chen Zhongyan knew what was going on.
There was a cold light in his eyes, and he took two steps at a time and walked quickly towards Chen Sanxing's yard.
He thought that if the Pan family didn't beat the third brother severely, he would also like to beat him up.
As soon as they entered Chen Sanxing's yard, they heard women in the yard crying and shouting.
"Sir, Sir, please wake up!"
"Sir, please don't scare me!"
"Sir! You..."
…
Chen Zhongyan looked at the beautiful women in the yard, and the feminine-looking man in the middle. He had a headache and shouted, "Shut up! Go do what you need to do!"
When the women saw him coming, they quickly shut their mouths. Their loud crying turned into silent sobbing. The man also quickly lowered his head.
Except for the wife, everyone else quietly left.
The old doctor had arrived earlier and was examining Chen Sanxing's injuries, feeling his pulse and his eyelids.
After a long while, the old doctor withdrew his hand and shook his head solemnly.
Chen Zhongyan frowned and looked at him, "Doctor, how is the third brother?"
When the old doctor saw him, he quickly bowed and said.
"The Third Young Master was seriously injured. It's clear that the other party wanted to kill him!"
Chen Zhongyan's face darkened and he continued to listen to the old doctor.
"I used acupuncture on the Third Young Master. Although his life was saved, it is hard to say whether he can wake up."
"As for the rest, I can't do anything about it!"
Chen Zhongyan didn't expect it to be so serious. He asked gloomily, "How ridiculous! Does the Pan family want to die?"
On the other side, in Mr. Pan’s mansion, Mr. Pan had a head full of white hair, a face as bark as tree bark, and was panting heavily.
He was so angry that his face turned blue.
He swept everything on the table to the floor and cursed angrily, "What a bastard, you little bastard, how dare you bully me!"
He asked the servant.
"You did see clearly that the other party was Chen Sanxing?"
The servants nodded quickly, "In reply to the master, we broke into the room and saw it clearly! It is indeed the third son of the Chen family."
Mr. Pan asked again, "Did you beat him?"
Several people looked at each other and nodded fearfully.
Mr. Pan didn't think much of it. He always felt that Chen Sanxing stole his people and being beaten by his people was nothing.
Even Chen Zhongyan wouldn't say anything.
He then asked the servant, "Which bitch?"
A servant quickly answered.
"In reply to the master, Aunt Thirteen..."
Mr. Pan was so angry that he cursed, "Don't call her Thirteenth Aunt. She is a traitor and a fickle bitch."
The servant was startled, swallowed and continued.
"Yes, it is, sir. Well, that bitch is now locked in the woodshed. But she has lost a lot of blood, I'm afraid she won't survive."
When Mr. Pan heard that Aunt Zhou was dying, he did not feel any pity for her. Instead, he felt that it would be too easy for her to die like this.
He ordered sinisterly, "Since he is still alive, put him in a pig cage and sink him into the pond."
The servants were all stunned. In their place, if a woman was caught cheating, the most she would get was beaten to death, but there was no custom of drowning her in a pond. So they were all stunned.
Mr. Pan narrowed his eyes and said, "Why, is there any problem with what I said?"
The servants nodded quickly.
Soon, the half-dead Aunt Zhou was stuffed into a bamboo pig cage, and two large stones were stuffed inside to increase the weight.
Then they carried it to the small river pond outside the city and pushed it down.
Aunt Zhou was originally unconscious, but was finally choked by the water and came to her senses. She struggled and called for help with her last breath, but no one dared to save her.
Neighbors who knew about her adultery also came over, pointing and watching. Some even threw stones at her and cursed her.
At the critical moment of life and death, Aunt Zhou watched her about to sink, her eyes filled with fear and despair.
She finally felt a little regretful. Why couldn't she live a good life? Why did she have to be with that Chen Sanxing?
When the water touched her head, she even thought, if she hadn't thought of exchanging identities with Jiang Quanling, she would still be a lady from an official family in Bianjing City. How could she end up like this!
She regrets it so much now...
She struggled desperately, but it was all in vain. She gradually sank to the bottom of the water and died silently.
After watching the excitement, the crowd left in twos and threes, sighing. Soon, there was no one left by the river.
An Yi, who was hiding not far away, came out from behind the tree and stayed for another half an hour. After making sure that she would not come back to life, he left.
On the other side, in Hua Mansion, Wang Yu, who was supposed to be resting, suddenly went out and went to the kitchen.
