On the second floor of Xiangyun Restaurant, Lu Jiaxue was drinking tea with the Minister of War. The Minister of War glanced outside and said with a smile, "The youngest son of Duke Xu is downstairs."
Lu Jiaxue was here to discuss matters with the Minister of War. The door was heavily guarded, and only two people were drinking tea on the second floor. The big guys all cherished their lives. He hummed and said, "What's going on?"
"I think he's been harassing a little girl, who must be married." The Minister of War smiled and shook his glass. "You don't know, this Xu Yong is a stickler. He's done a lot of ridiculous things. Once he molested the daughter of the Yude of the Right Spring Office, and got beaten by Yude. When he got home, Xu Guogong also beat him, but the old lady protected him. Xu Guogong was so angry and anxious that he couldn't do anything."
The Minister of War's words were so interesting that Lu Jiaxue couldn't help but turn his head to take a look. He immediately found that the person he was entangled with looked familiar. Wasn't this his adopted daughter Yi Ning...
He laughed and said, "He's in trouble this time. The one below is Wei Ling's daughter."
"Duke Ying?" The Minister of War also remembered. "I remember that Duke Ying's daughter just got married to Xu Wei's beloved disciple Luo Shenyuan."
"That's why I said he got into trouble this time." Lu Jiaxue put down his teacup, his attitude a little casual.
The Minister of War looked at him hesitantly and said, "Why don't you do anything about it? I think this kid might do something else if he gets carried away. This girl is married, and if her reputation is ruined..."
Lu Jiaxue said calmly, "I have to take care of it." He raised his hand slightly, and someone immediately came up, clasped their fists, and waited for his instructions.
"Take a few people down and follow them." Lu Jiaxue glanced at Luo Yining and Xu Yong.
The confidant immediately went downstairs with a few people from the Shenji Camp, while Lu Jiaxue continued to drink tea with the Minister of War.

Xu Yong led Yi Ning out of the backyard and slowly walked to her side. "Where is this girl from? I don't think I've seen her before."
Yi Ning glanced at him and said, "Mr. Xu, I'm married now. It's better for you to call me Madam. Otherwise, it would be too abrupt."
Xu Yong said, "I see the young lady is only fourteen or fifteen, so it would be rude to call her Madam. There's a private room in the attic of the Xiangyun Restaurant next door, very secluded and with a great view. How about I treat the young lady to some food, anything she wants, and give her some gifts as well?"
"You don't want your jade pendant anymore?"
Xu Yong opened his folding fan and waved it, saying with a smile, "If the young lady accompanies me for dinner, I will give her the jade pendant."
He opened his hand, and the black jade lay in his palm. The jade was of excellent quality, indeed a fine piece of jade. "Tell me which family did you marry into, young lady. I love you dearly. If you are willing to follow me, you will surely enjoy endless wealth and glory. It will be much better than your previous husband's family."
Yi Ning sneered inwardly. He was so obsessed with Xie Yun just now, and now he said he liked her? She was even more disdainful of this man and said, "Mr. Xu is quite confident. I have no interest in the jade, and I have no interest in you either. Since Mr. Xu's jade is not lost, I will not accompany you."
After saying that, he turned and was about to leave. Xu Yong just smiled, then flicked his finger, and his guards rushed into the yard. He took another step forward and said, "If the young lady is willing to do me the honor of having a meal, I will certainly ask them to move aside. Otherwise..." He reached out to grab Yining's hand, but Yining slapped him back. She was already in a bad mood, and coming up to her made her angry.
Xu Yong only felt that her slap was soft and did not hurt at all. Instead, he immediately grabbed her hand.
Seeing this, the girl screamed and tried to pull it out, but was surrounded by several guards.
Unable to break free, Yi Ning looked at him with a hint of anger. However, Xu Yong felt as if she were soft jade in his hands, and couldn't help but want to pinch her.
The last time Shen Yu came, Yining was sick and had no energy. This time, she was angry. Seeing that Xu Yong was even more stubborn, she was furious and kicked him. Xu Yong felt a sharp pain in his calf. Her face changed immediately and she squeezed tighter: "I, Xu Yong, am the young master of the Xuguo Mansion no matter what. I can't treat you badly!"
Yi Ning sneered and suddenly took a few steps closer to him. Xu Yong was stunned, but was forced to take a few steps back by her. His guard wanted to say something, but saw that the young master's face softened a lot: "Miss, are you willing..."
"I'd love to," Yi Ning said, and then she kicked him again. This time, she didn't hold back. Unaware, Xu Yong stumbled backward, falling into the pool, splashing water everywhere.
Xu Yong was truly furious this time, his entire body dripping with sweat. He had no patience for wasting time with Yi Ning, so he said sullenly, "Hold her down!"
Several guards were about to attack, but Zhenzhu stepped forward and said, "My wife's father is Duke of Yingguo, Wei Ling, and her son-in-law is the current Minister of Works, Lord Luo. How dare you dare to move?"
Yi Ning wiped the water off her hands with a handkerchief and looked at Xu Yong. "Mr. Xu, although my husband isn't born into a noble family, he's no easy target. Just now, you falsely accused me of taking your jade pendant. I meant to explain myself, but I didn't expect you to be so unreasonable. I'd like to ask you, how much is your black jade pendant worth?"
The daughter of Duke Wei Ling of England? Married to Luo Shenyuan? Both figures were naturally prominent. Wei Ling was needless to say, and Luo Shenyuan had also been a household name in the past couple of years. Unlike these powerful figures, the Duke of Xu's family was merely a wealthy and idle force, enjoying a position bestowed upon them by their ancestors.
If she is really Wei Ling's daughter and Luo Shenyuan's wife, he uses the jade pendant to slander her and even wants her to break off the engagement and follow him. It's really ridiculous!
Xu Yong's face turned grim, but he then laughed, "You say you're the Duke of England's daughter, but I don't believe you." He was audacious and couldn't get his temper out. He continued to shout at the guards, "Hold her down and bring her to my room! Make sure she's the Duke of England's daughter before releasing her."
