"It's better to offend a gentleman a thousand times than to offend a villain even once." Chu Yuan said slowly and deliberately, her face expressionless, her aura cold and menacing: "Zhou Yanzhi is the kind of person who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, and is only interested in profit. He has no faith or loyalty whatsoever. Such a person is definitely a villain!"
Why does You Yue know so much about Zhou Yanzhi?
Jiang Xuening narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, silently watching Chu Yuan, as if confirming some guess in her heart.
After a long pause, he managed to squeeze out a sentence, "Then what do you think should be done?"
Chu Yuan suddenly looked up, her tone cold, her gaze even colder: "Since it's a venomous snake, we must deal with it before it harms anyone."
Having just watched the entire series, Chu Yuan was deeply impressed by Zhou Yanzhi!
It can be said that he had no hobbies other than power, status, and money. He even had a horse that could be considered his weakness, but he cut it off. Such a person is always waiting for the right price to go. When others tempt him with higher power, status, and more money, he will switch sides without any principles.
Or, when their lives are threatened, they might betray you in an instant.
If they can't be changed or tamed, then kill them to prevent future troubles!
"You mean..." Even Jiang Xuening, who had been reborn, was taken aback by Chu Yuan's ruthlessness.
Chu Yuan curled her lips, "Miss Jiang, being kind to others is being cruel to yourself! Are you afraid that you won't do it because you're afraid of getting blood on your hands, feeling uncomfortable, or being disliked for being ruthless? Don't you know that if you let him go now with a fluke mentality, who will he harm next? What if it's your closest relatives, your partners and friends? Won't you regret being soft-hearted and kind today?"
Before Jiang Xuening could answer, Yan Ling came over with two skewers of roasted mutton.
He had originally intended to give both skewers to Jiang Xuening, but upon catching a glimpse of Chu Yuan out of the corner of his eye, he subconsciously gave her one as well. "You can eat now. Since you girls don't like the smell of cooking oil, Zhou and I grilled them for you. How is it? Does it taste good?"
Jiang Xuening took a symbolic bite and forced a smile: "It's delicious."
His mind was filled with Chu Yuan's resounding words.
She looked at Yan Ling, the boy who had always been the purest to her. Just thinking about how in her past life she had introduced Zhou Yanzhi to him, which led to the Yongyi Marquis's mansion being framed for colluding with rebels and plotting treason, and how more than a hundred members of the Yan family were slaughtered at Yan Ling's coming-of-age ceremony, leaving only Yan Ling and his servant Qingfeng alive.
The two were exiled to the barren and desolate land of Huangzhou. Five years later, Yanling was able to return to the capital.
The more he thought about it, the more he realized that what You Yue said made sense. He had already been reborn, so why should he be harmed by the same person again?
"The taste is alright, but it doesn't seem spicy enough. I'll go help Lord Zhou." Chu Yuan stood up at the right moment.
She didn't care whether Jiang Xuening agreed or not; she was determined to kill Zhou Yanzhi!
Even if it's just for Fangying's sake, he has no choice but to kill her.
Therefore, Chu Yuan had already selected a deadly weapon from the system—a packet of colorless and odorless poison.
It won't kill you immediately after you eat it. It will take about a month for the body to process the internal imbalances, progressing from a cold to a critical condition, step by step. Even if the legendary physician Hua were alive, he wouldn't be able to find any clues.
By then, the crisis surrounding Yanling's coming-of-age ceremony would have passed, and the death of Zhou Yanzhi, who still had some value before the ceremony, would minimize the impact.
Without hesitation, Chu Yuan took advantage of the time while adding spice to the lamb skewers to smear a colorless, odorless poison that was completely invisible to others onto one of the skewers. After suspending it in the air and turning it over for a while, she handed it to Zhou Yanzhi, saying, "Lord Zhou, please try it and see if this new level of spiciness is better than the previous one."
The latter stared at the fragrant skewers of meat but didn't touch them.
Nonsense, is he stupid? Just now, You Yue was looking down on him and scolding him, as if she hated him so much that she wanted to eat him up. Now she's kindly offering him meat skewers?
What if I get poisoned?
However, given that she was in full view of everyone and right under his nose, and she didn't take out anything other than the items on the barbecue grill, she probably couldn't have poisoned it.
Thinking this, Chu Yuan muttered, "Everyone outside says that Lord Zhou is highly skilled and daring, and even Prince Yan praised your kung fu. I never expected that Lord Zhou would be so timid. After being told off by me, he doesn't even dare to taste the food in my hand!"
Zhou Yanzhi, "..."
The sage was right; indeed, only women and petty men are difficult to deal with.
Being afraid is not an option, nor is being unafraid of it.
Zhou Yanzhi didn't have much time to hesitate. The moment he considered it, he was convinced that Chu Yuan couldn't have poisoned him in front of him and in such a short time. Therefore, to avoid any argument, he calmly took the lamb skewer, put it to his mouth, and swallowed it clean in one bite.
He provocatively waved the skewer at Chu Yuan: "I ate it. It's not spicy, but it's a bit bitter."
The baby is heartbroken.
It is because of people like him who hold high positions and are entitled to order others around that he wants to climb up by any means necessary, the higher the better, and ideally all those who used to look down on him and bully him will kneel before him and kowtow to admit their mistakes!
"It's not bitter at all. Lord Zhou, is there something wrong with your sense of taste?"
Chu Yuan also took a skewer to eat. Her skewer was of course not poisonous, and the taste was just right.
It tastes better than the one the antelope offered earlier.
Therefore, Chu Yuan picked up all the remaining grilled lamb skewers from the shelf and turned around to let Yan Ling and Jiang Xue Ning try them as well.
Not far away, Qingfeng brought someone over, "Young Master, Junior Tutor Xie has arrived."
Yan Ling was stunned, and everyone else was stunned as well. Jiang Xue Ning even instinctively hid behind Yan Ling.
It's truly a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road. I never expected that on my trip to the Marquis of Yongyi's residence, I would not only run into Zhou Yanzhi, but also Xie Wei!
