"You surnamed Zhou...you...what did you say?"
The sarcastic woman found it hard to believe.
"Didn't you hear me? If you didn't hear me, I'll say it again."
Zhou Gui gave her a cold look. "I said, you can die right now!"
After saying that, Zhou Gui turned around and left without looking back, leaving the mean woman standing there in a daze.
The mean-spirited woman stormed out of the door and ran to the Yuwang Mansion. The guards at the Yuwang Mansion recognized her and let her in directly.
She was quite familiar with the layout of the Yuwang Mansion, because she often came here to discuss with the Yuwang Crown Prince how to win over Zhou Ziqiong. Although she hadn't won her over yet, she had already gained the Yuwang Crown Prince's trust. She was still fantasizing that as soon as she complained, the Yuwang Crown Prince would immediately bring people to help her get revenge.
Unfortunately, the result was not what she expected.
After she told him that Zhou Ziqiong had brought a man back to the Zhou family and stayed in her boudoir with the door closed for a long time, the Prince of Yu slapped her hard across the face without saying a word, leaving her stunned.
No, I also told her to "get lost"...
The mean-spirited woman was still quite obedient, and hurriedly rolled out of the Yu King's mansion. Of course, she didn't take the Yu King's slap to heart. After all, he was the Yu King's son, and it was perfectly acceptable for him to slap her.
Moreover, she felt that the Crown Prince Yu hit her because he heard a strange man alone with Zhou Ziqiong, and he was so angry that he slapped her. So she still blamed that man!
She believed that the enraged Crown Prince Yu would definitely come and teach this man a lesson and stand up for her!
However, Zhou Gui's attitude angered her.
How dare he send me to my death?
This old bastard, when he needed me, he would say all sorts of sweet things in bed, but now that he's useless, he can't even last a few moves in bed, so he wants me to die?
Since you want me to die, then I'll let you die first!
The mean-spirited woman narrowed her eyes and sneered. She planned to wait until the Crown Prince of Yu arrived, and while he was disciplining this stranger, she would then file a complaint against Zhou Guiyi and have the Crown Prince of Yu deal with him for her!
If Zhou Guizhen dies, this enormous fortune...
Thinking about this, the mean-spirited woman felt elated.
...
"The Crown Prince of Yu!"
As expected, just as the mean woman had guessed, it didn't take long for the Crown Prince of Yu to arrive.
However, the Crown Prince of Yu came alone without many followers, which disappointed the mean woman: Wouldn't it have been better to just bring a group of people and take him away?
But she still shamelessly moved closer, as if her burning, swollen face hadn't been slapped by the Crown Prince: "The Crown Prince is here!"
"..."
The Crown Prince of Yu gave her a cold glance, initially not wanting to speak to her anymore, but then, after a moment's thought, he asked, "Where is she?"
"Here! Here! I'll lead the way for the young master!"
"That's what the mean woman said excitedly."
In her opinion, the Crown Prince of Yu really did come to find that strange man. Heh, this is going to be interesting!
...
At this moment, Jing Zhe and Zhou Ziqiong followed Zhou Gui to the front hall. The tea had just been served and they hadn't even had a chance to drink it when they heard a servant report.
The servant hadn't even left the house when the mean-spirited woman led the Crown Prince of Yu inside.
"Your Highness, you're right here!"
The mean-spirited woman pointed at Jing Zhe, then at Zhou Gui, and said coldly, "Young Master, why did Zhou Gui reject your marriage proposals so many times? It's because Zhou Gui likes pretty boys like you. He always said that you were too ugly and not good enough for Zhou Ziqiong, which is why he kept rejecting you!"
The mean-spirited woman had already made up her mind to kill Zhou Gui, so she wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Crown Prince of Yu was already angry and add fuel to the fire by killing Zhou Gui as well. So she began to frame him!
"You're talking nonsense!"
Zhou Gui's veins bulged: "You crazy woman, what nonsense are you spouting?"
The mean-spirited woman sneered repeatedly: "Zhou, I've disliked you for a long time! That's why I told the Crown Prince everything you said about him!"
"..."
Zhou Gui was so angry he couldn't speak, but Jing Zhe, standing beside him, asked with a smile, "Oh? What did you say?"
The mean-spirited woman gave Jing Zhe a look of utter disgust, but still replied, "Young Master, that Zhou guy said you're too ugly, that just looking at you makes him feel nauseous, and that... that your appearance... is completely unworthy of Zhou Ziqiong, and that your desire to marry Zhou Ziqiong is... a pipe dream!"
Because these words were all made up by the mean-spirited woman, she spoke as she thought, stuttering a bit. This was very obvious to everyone, especially the Crown Prince of Yu, who was about to explode.
This woman... insulted me?
Zhou Gui was initially furious, but Jing Zhe whispered something in his ear, which calmed him down, and his gaze towards the mean woman turned cold and pitying.
"Oh? Is that all?"
Jing Zhe asked again.
The mean-spirited woman, unaware of her own predicament, continued her fabrication upon hearing his question: "She also said that the Crown Prince of Yu only relies on his family background. If the Crown Prince were an ordinary person, with such an ugly appearance, he would probably remain a bachelor for life!"
"Good, well said, continue!"
Jing Zhe clapped his hands in encouragement.
"And you also said—"
"Shut up!"
Before the sarcastic woman could continue, the panting Crown Prince Yu angrily interrupted her.
The Crown Prince of Yu was not stupid, or at least not too stupid, so he could guess that these words were not spoken by Zhou Gui, but most likely made up by the mean woman herself, or embellished by her.
Given the close relationship between the Crown Prince of Yu and the Prince of Jin, he had long known about the relationship between Zhou Ziqiong and Jing Zhe, which is why he didn't force himself on Zhou Ziqiong.
Now that Jing Zhe is in the Zhou family, even if Zhou Gui really said something insulting to him, without any evidence, what can he do to Zhou Gui?
So the more the mean woman said, the more embarrassed he would become, and he immediately interrupted her.
"Your Highness, it was him! Quickly arrest them all and bring them back!"
The mean-spirited woman, unaware of the situation, assumed that the Crown Prince of Yu was angry with Zhou Gui and said with a smile.
"Smack!"
The next moment, the truly angry Crown Prince Yu strode up to the mean-spirited woman and slapped her hard across the other side of her face, which wasn't swollen. Now, they were symmetrical.
The mean-spirited woman was stunned: What happened?
The Crown Prince of Yu said coldly, "Manager Zhou, is this how your wife insults me? Or is it true, as she says, that you, Manager Zhou, usually speak to me like this?"
"Of course not!"
Zhou Gui hurriedly waved his hand in denial, while looking at the mean-spirited woman and saying coldly, "Besides, she is no longer my wife, because I'm divorcing her right now!"
After saying that, Zhou Gui took out a letter of divorce from his clothes and slammed it on the table. Instantly, the mean woman turned ashen-faced.
