A powerful attack swept in, heading straight for the Third Madam.
An Ye was startled and flashed in front of the Third Madam. He hurriedly made a move, but he was still a beat too slow and was blasted away by a palm, crashing to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Mo Qingcheng's gaze sharpened slightly as she took a step back and looked at the newcomer.
A middle-aged man was seen wearing a dark-patterned black and gold robe, with thick eyebrows and fierce eyes, exuding an imposing aura.
"Master!" Liang Feng seemed to have found his pillar of support, and came to the side of Deputy City Lord Shen Wuxin, his eyes slightly darkened.
Ha, so this is the legendary deputy city lord who loves beauty more than power? Back then, the city lord exchanged ten beauties for the position of the current city lord, becoming the laughing stock of the palace.
Shen Wuxin glared at the Third Madam: "Aren't you going back yet? You shameful thing!"
The Third Madam had intended to use her old tricks to gain pity, but now, the Deputy City Lord's words had publicly humiliated her, causing her to question her existence. She instantly lost her temper and started barking wildly without a care in the world.
"You, Shen Wuxin, if it weren't for the strong support of the old lady's family, could you have become the deputy city lord? Ah—"
The third wife covered her swollen cheek, her head buzzing, completely stunned, and stood frozen in place.
She was beaten!
She was beaten by her own man!
She was beaten by her own man because of a vixen!
An Ye struggled to get up from the ground, went to the Third Madam's side, helped her up, and stared coldly at Shen Wuxin, thinking, "Damn man."
Shen Wuxin snorted coldly: "I was holding back from talking nonsense."
The third wife was in tears, sobbing uncontrollably, "Shen Wuxin, how dare you hit me for a vixen? You might as well kill me! Waaah, I don't want to live anymore..."
"Tsk tsk, Madam's trick is truly masterful. Anyone who didn't know better would think the City Lord was abusing you." Mo Qingcheng's indifferent voice rang out, and the Third Madam instantly went mad.
"You vixen! Shameless! How dare you seduce the City Lord right in front of me! Tell me, who sent you?" The Third Madam said, rushing forward and reaching out to grab Mo Qingcheng's face.
Damn vixen, ruin this face first.
With a flash, Shen Wuxin grabbed the Third Madam's hand tightly, his cold eyes sweeping over her: "You're courting death!"
The third wife covered her face with her hands and screamed, "Ah—"
"Stay here!" Shen Wuxin's cold gaze fell on An Ye.
The night was shrouded in deathly stillness. He struggled to breathe, his face was pale, and he could only watch helplessly as the Third Madam was dragged away like a dead dog, unable to move an inch.
Mo Qingcheng watched the show unfold and yawned: "Vice City Lord, is this ever going to end?"
Liang Feng and the other guards were terrified. Was the young mistress too ignorant or fearless? Should they praise her for being too brave?
The room was completely frozen; you could hear a pin drop.
Mo Qingcheng waved her hand, her face full of disdain: "Vice City Lord Shen, go back and rest. I'm sleepy and tired."
Everyone: "..."
Shen Wuxin's lips curled into a cold smile: "If you need anything, call the maid outside."
"Oh, Vice City Lord Shen, are you sure they will serve me wholeheartedly?" Mo Qingcheng glanced at Shen Wuxin with a half-smile.
I, the lady of the house, will not suffer any loss. It's bad enough that that brat said such awful things, but she also made me go hungry. Who gave her the guts?
Shen Wuxin looked at Liang Feng: "How did you handle this?"
"Master, please forgive me!" Liang Feng was startled and knelt on the ground with a thud, feeling uneasy. It was all his fault.
Mo Qingcheng scoffed: "Vice City Lord Shen, you seem to be particularly indulgent towards maids who want to climb into your bed..."
