Upon hearing this, Marquis Zhongyi knew that a temporary truce was necessary, so he forcefully tossed Jiang Chengyi to the guards.
One of the guards immediately caught the fourth master, who was lying there like a dead pig, and his movements were not gentle.
After all, the young master was still watching, and Lie Feng's body hadn't even been buried yet, so he couldn't be gentle with Jiang Chengyi, or he would suffer the consequences later.
Besides, the Fourth Master really smelled terrible; they couldn't possibly be gentle with him.
If it weren't for the Marquis's order, everyone would have preferred to stay as far away from this latrine as possible.
When the Marquis of Zhongyi returned to Shou Kang Garden, the lights in the main house were still on, indicating that Cen Shi had not slept and was waiting for the results.
He felt a warmth in his heart; his wife was always considerate and thoughtful in handling matters.
However, his warmth didn't last long before he remembered that Cen's previous love interest was Yu Jingxuan, and he immediately felt a burning hatred.
"Today, the two of them went to Qingxi Pavilion. Only Jinyu could hear the voice of the artifact, while Yige'er showed no reaction." Cen Shi was already sleepy from waiting, so she didn't ask Jiang Chengyi what lesson he had learned and went straight to the point.
Marquis Zhongyi's mind was buzzing. Jiang Chengyi was a useless little beast, and he wished he had never given birth to this thing. But this coward had grown up so much, and if something really happened to him, he would still feel uneasy.
How could this be?
"I don't know either; we'll have to go to Qingxi Pavilion to find out."
Because of this, the couple remained silent until late at night when the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness finally left the main courtyard.
Since the two had already divorced, they naturally wouldn't share a bed. However, he wasn't in the mood to visit his concubines today, as he was preoccupied with this matter.
Jiang Chengzong did not return to the courtyard. Instead, he found another place to bury Lie Feng's remains. Then, he took two jugs of wine and sat down in front of the grave to drink in silence.
"Old friend, look how beautiful this place is!" He added soil to the grave and poured a cup of wine.
"Look how confused I am! It's nighttime, so we can't see any beautiful scenery. It's okay, from now on I'll be your eyes, and I'll tell you slowly!" He patted his forehead and began to tell his story.
"In spring, birds sing and flowers bloom, and you can chase after the birds; in summer, cicadas chirp, which may disturb your sweet dreams, but all the flowers are in full bloom, displaying a riot of colors; in autumn, the mountains are laden with fruit, and the maple leaves are turning red; in winter, the mountains are desolate, covered in snow, and many of your playmates have gone into hibernation, so you may feel lonely. But that's okay, I'll definitely come often!"
Jiang Chengzong's personality is most like that of the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness. He is rough and unrestrained, and usually speaks and curses in a loud voice, but at this moment he appears extremely gentle.
This straightforward, burly man also revealed his delicate side when facing his old friends.
"This was the resting place I had chosen for you. When you disappeared, I thought you disliked it and chose a better place on your own. You were so stingy! How could you not tell me where it was? Now that I miss you, I don't know where to go to see you!"
"I never imagined that after all this time, you'd end up buried here again. Don't worry, I will remember your grudge, and even if the murderer is my own brother, I will show no mercy!"
As he spoke, recalling what had just happened, he gritted his teeth in hatred and downed several mouthfuls of wine in silence.
"Old buddy, why is this wine bitter today? Old Li from the kitchen told me it was a five-year-old vintage, but he's definitely lying again!"
He sat silently by the grave all night, until the sky began to lighten, before his servants found him.
The servant who came looking for him climbed up the mountain and saw the young master covered in frost and with a head of white hair. He was so frightened that he ran over in a panic, fearing that his master had frozen to death.
"Sir, are you alright? The young master's wife was so worried." The servant grasped his hand and, finding it still warm, breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, at least I'm not dead.
On a cold winter night, an ordinary person who stayed on the mountain all night would probably be frozen to death by the next morning. Fortunately, the young master had practiced martial arts since childhood and could dispel the cold. Otherwise, the servant would have come to collect his body.
"Let's go down the mountain." Jiang Chengzong took another swig of wine, and instantly his body became hot again.
After he returned, Li Chunlan had only scolded him a few times when she saw his dejected appearance and felt sorry for him. She immediately had someone help him bathe and change his clothes.
After the two finished their breakfast, Cen sent someone to invite them, and the couple went together.
When they arrived, they found all the servants guarding outside the courtyard, and even Granny Liu had been chased out.
"What's wrong? Where are Dad and Mom?" Li Chunlan asked in surprise.
"The Marquis and his wife had another argument this morning," reported Granny Liu.
"Why didn't you inform us?" Jiang Chengzong frowned.
“These days, the two masters have been bickering frequently. Since they didn’t fight just now, this old servant didn’t go looking for anyone.”
Granny Liu also felt wronged. When these two masters were young, they didn't like to quarrel. Unexpectedly, when they were halfway to the grave, they suddenly started to quarrel. They would quarrel every time they met. She couldn't call someone every time.
After all, sometimes the argument ends after just a couple of sentences, and maybe the person hasn't even been invited yet, and the party has already finished, making the trip a waste.
Jiang Chengzong and his wife exchanged a glance, realizing the difficulty Liu Mama was in.
After all, the fact that those two chased away all the servants proved that the content of their argument was something even Granny Liu couldn't bear to hear, and it was clearly related to the information provided by the system.
A heated argument is taking place in Shou Kang Yuan.
They stepped over the threshold and after walking a dozen steps, they heard the argument.
"Cen Ying, look at your son! He has none of the integrity of the Jiang family. He not only bullies the weak but also tries to harm them. This kind of vicious character is not typical of the Jiang family. Only you scholars from the Cen family like to resort to underhanded tricks!" His roar was deafening and full of vigor.
"Jiang Yiping, you're talking nonsense! If you can't speak properly, then shut up. The son is yours and takes your surname. You blame me for him growing up badly? Are you even a man?!"
Cen Shi was initially able to remain rational, but upon hearing that the Marquis of Zhongyi had brought her family along, she immediately flew into a rage and began to curse.
"Cen Ying, you've got some nerve, daring to call me bullshit!"
"So what if it's bullshit? I've seen you spouting bullshit every day lately, you deserve to be taught a lesson for your foul mouth!"
“I taught all my other sons, and they didn’t turn out badly. It’s just that this useless thing of his who was taught by the tutor you hired. If he turned out badly, who else can you blame but yourself?” Marquis Zhongyi was so angry that his face turned pale.
In the past few days, Cen's aggressiveness has soared, from trying to persuade people with reason to being sarcastic and then to directly cursing, even using vulgar language. Marquis Zhongyi finds it hard to accept that his noble and dignified wife has become like this.
