Shortly after Lei Ting visited Prince Xian's Mansion, Ren Yaoqi received news about Ningxia.
Ren Yaoqi learned from the Yanbei Palace that Lei Ting had taken action to deal with Zeng Kui on the day Ren Yaohua returned. It was because of this incident that Ren Yaoqi gained a new understanding of Lei Ting.
Shortly after Lei Ting took Ren Yaohua away, people from the Zeng family found Zeng Kui. At that time, Zeng Kui had fallen into a coma due to excessive blood loss.
The people Zeng Yu sent to look for Zeng Kui were very angry after seeing Zeng Kui's miserable condition. They immediately searched secretly for the people who had murdered Zeng Kui according to the descriptions of the people around Zeng Kui at that time. Finally, the Zeng family found a few people who stayed in a nearby farmhouse to take care of the wounded. Two people who were said to be the leaders were seriously injured and were hacked to death on the spot by the Zeng family.
The woman kidnapped by the other thieves escaped mid-route and happened to meet General Min, who was returning to Yunyang City. General Min secretly sent her back to Yunyang City. The Zeng family had limited personnel to search for Zeng Kui, and they didn't dare confront Min Wenqing. They took Zeng Kui, who had been treated, back to Ningxia first.
Zeng Kui nearly collapsed from anger when he saw his only son being carried back, a cripple, unable to carry on the Zeng family line. In the end, none of Zeng Kui's followers met a good end.
The first thing Zeng Kui said to his father after he woke up was, "Dad, I want that bitch Wu Yiyu to die miserably!"
Zeng Yu also hated Wu Yiyu so much that he wanted to cut her into pieces, especially when he later found out that it was indeed Wu Yiyu who kidnapped Ren Yaohua and led Zeng Kui to Yanbei. Zeng Yu naturally would not easily believe his subordinates' words, so he sent people to investigate. The result was that Wu Yiyu had bribed many people in the underworld and even threatened to castrate Zeng Kui so that he would not be able to eat the swan meat.
Zeng Yu said harshly: "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge my father!"
The day after Zeng Kui returned to Ningxia, the story of his having his offspring slashed out by the eldest daughter of the Wu family spread throughout Ningxia. Many people simply laughed it off, as such rumors had been heard many times before. However, some curious people still asked Wu Yiyu about the matter. Wu Yiyu, unaware of the impending disaster, mocked him, saying, "I paid a large sum of money, and I just waited to see the Zeng family's descendants extinct."
This statement immediately silenced those who had been planning to marry Wu Yiyu to take over the Wu family's power. This was precisely Wu Yiyu's motivation. She didn't want to marry Zeng Kui, nor did she want to marry any of the other prominent men in Ningxia. In her eyes, they were nothing but toads, not even a finger of Yun Wenting's.
The Zeng family thought that Wu Yiyu had deliberately spread the news in order to scare away those who wanted to marry into the Wu family.
Many people in Ningxia knew about the Wu family's eldest daughter's infatuation with Young Master Yun. Wu Yiyu had once publicly scolded a man she had flirted with, rumored to be Ningxia's most handsome and talented, saying he wasn't even worthy of carrying Yun Wenting's shoes. Consequently, the Zeng family's hatred for Wu Yiyu intensified.
People thought that with things getting to this point, the marriage between the Zeng and Wu families might be in jeopardy. Even Xiao Wei secretly sent someone to find out if Zeng Kui was really injured.
Surprisingly, the Zeng family not only didn't cancel the engagement, but even asked the Wu family to move up the wedding date. Previously, Xiao Wei, to appease Wu Yiyu, had arranged a marriage between her and Zeng Kui, but the wedding date had been set for two years. But now, Zeng Kui had proposed to Xiao Wei that they get married in early August, and even Zeng Kui, who had always been at odds with Wu Yiyu, didn't object.
