June is almost over, but the weather is still very hot.

There were few pedestrians on the street, and even if there were people passing by, they walked hurriedly, sticking to the roadside to avoid the scorching sun.

The big dog lay in the corner, hanging out its tongue listlessly.

A man was sitting at the foot of the wall in a daze, only ten feet away from the big yellow dog.

The big dog was bored. He tilted his head to look at the man and barked twice.

The stray dog ​​was obviously familiar with the man and tacitly allowed him to run wild in his territory.

Suddenly the stray dog ​​became alert, pricked up its ears and looked around.

A fellow sleek-furred creature came walking over.

The stray dog ​​stood up nervously and let out a low warning growl with anxiety in its voice.

Because they are of the same kind, they are sensitive to the threat posed by the other party.

This guy must eat meat every day, his fat body would be enough to crush it to death!

The majestic big dog came up to the stray dog, raised its front paws and pushed it aside.

Stray dogs are a real nuisance.

This is its territory, it has occupied it for a long time, and urinates several times a day to mark its territory. This guy is bullying the dog too much!

Although this guy is taller and stronger than it, stray dogs also have dignity, so it fights!

"Woof!" Erniu bared his teeth with a ferocious look on his face.

The stray dog ​​ran away, and only stopped and turned around to look after running a long way.

Erniu lay down where the stray dog ​​had been, with his mouth pressed to the ground with contentment.

It was cooler near the wall, perhaps because the terrain was slightly lower. Even in such weather, a light green moss still grew at the base of the wall.

Erniu glanced proudly at the stray dog ​​not far away.

This blind guy really knows how to choose a place. This is the coolest place.

The two dogs' fight over the territory did not attract the man's attention at all. He just looked at them and continued to stare blankly.

A pair of lake green embroidered shoes stopped in front of the man.

The man lowered his head and did not react to the embroidered shoes that suddenly came into his sight.

These days the man often appears here and sits there for the whole day. Occasionally, someone would mistake him for a beggar and leave him one or two copper coins or steamed buns.

The man never took those with him when he left.

People living nearby said that this was a madman and they didn't know where he came from.

"Zhu Ziyu." The woman's soft and sweet voice sounded.

The voice is soft and sweet by nature, but this shout is filled with indifference.

The man, who had no reaction, suddenly raised his head and stared at the woman with ferocity in his eyes.

Even though the woman in front of him was wearing a veil, he could not forget this voice.

To be honest, who does he hate more after falling into this situation?

That bitch Cui Mingyue ranks first, and the woman in front of me ranks second!

From the moment his sister-in-law made an appointment with his wife at Baiyun Temple, she became the evil ghost who pushed him into the abyss.

Zhu Ziyu's eyes were fierce, and he wished he could tear the woman in front of him to pieces.

But soon the hostility in his eyes was covered up by dullness, and he lowered his eyes and stared at the ground in a daze again.

Jiang Si was looking down from a high position, looking at the beggar-like man in front of him through the veil, feeling relieved but also a little sighing.

This was the once glorious scholar, who lost his reputation and was driven out of his home. In just a few months he became like this.

The news that Zhu Ziyu intended to murder his wife and marry into a rich family spread widely, and he was personally reprimanded and punished by the emperor. The Zhu family was condemned by everyone, and no one could hold their heads up when they went out.

Naturally, the Zhu clan members were not happy about this, and the clan leader removed Zhu Ziyu's name from the family tree and expelled him from the Zhu family.

Zhu Ziyu had already lost his mind after falling from the clouds to the mud. He became even more powerful after being kicked out of the house.

Even though Zhu's mother took care of him secretly, she couldn't stop Zhu Ziyu from running around like a madman every day, and over time he became like this.

"Zhu Ziyu, I know you are neither crazy nor stupid."

Zhu Ziyu shuddered all over.

Seeing his reaction, Jiang Si raised the corners of his lips silently.

A man who could scheme against his wife to such an extent, if she had not lived through two lifetimes, who could have detected the vicious heart beneath this man's gentle and jade-like appearance?

She didn't believe that such a person could go crazy or stupid so easily.

Playing crazy and acting stupid is just a fig leaf to cover up the inability to face the eyes of the world.

"Zhu Ziyu, don't you want revenge?" Facing the silent man, Jiang Si asked again.

Zhu Ziyu's hands were grasping the ground, the veins on the back of his hands were knotted and he looked frighteningly thin.

Jiang Si chuckled: "I know you hate me, and think that it was my interference that caused you to fall into this situation. You even hate my eldest sister, hate how she is so ignorant, why she didn't die obediently but occupied the position of Madam Zhu and didn't leave room for others..."

Zhu Ziyu clenched his fist and slowly raised his head.

His eyes were as sharp as knives, and he wanted to poke a hole in the other person.

This bastard, he has become like this, but he still doesn't let him go and comes here to say these words!

Jiang Si leaned forward slightly, not at all afraid that Zhu Ziyu would suddenly attack and hurt anyone.

"I advise you not to act rashly. See that big dog next to you? It survived the battlefield and has killed many people with its teeth."

Zhu Ziyu subconsciously looked at the big dog lying not far away.

Erniu was very cooperative and grinned.

The sharp teeth flashed coldly in the sunlight, which was truly as sharp as a knife.

Zhu Ziyu suddenly lost his courage.

He has never been one to rely on force.

A sarcastic smile flashed across Jiang Si's lips.

When dealing with a man like this, she wouldn't be afraid even if Erniu wasn't around, let alone having him.

As long as the person is not an expert in martial arts, it is easy for her to subdue an ordinary person.

"Zhu Ziyu, you know very well in your heart that the culprit who caused you to become what you are now is not me, nor my eldest sister, but Cui Mingyue."

Hearing this name, Zhu Ziyu's expression finally changed drastically.

It was uncontrollable hatred.

Yes, how could he not know? That bitch Cui Mingyue was the real root of trouble!

If Cui Mingyue had not taken the initiative to show her affection and hinted at him with words, how could he have fallen in love with such an unattainable noblewoman?

His family background was not bad. If he had not married, with his noble birth and promising status as a scholar-official, it would not be impossible for him to marry the princess's daughter. However, he already had a wife, and even if his wife died, it would be impossible for him to let the princess's daughter become his concubine.

This idea was instigated by Cui Mingyue!

Zhu Ziyu hated it, but in this situation, he had lost even the family that protected him, so there was nothing he could do no matter how much he hated it.

"Cui Mingyue is about to leave the palace, and will soon become the high and mighty Princess of Xiang." Jiang Si said lightly, looking at the man in front of him calmly.

The words spoken are more touching.

"From now on, she is in the clouds and you are in the mud. Are you willing?"

Zhu Ziyu pounded the ground hard, his face distorted.

Willing?

How could he be willing to accept that he was living in such a half-human state while the other party was enjoying such a glorious life!

If he could use his life to drag Cui Mingyue into the same mud pit, he would die with a smile.

Zhu Ziyu stared at Jiang Si and said word by word: "I won't accept this!"
