Remembering how Zhou Shuyao had slandered Ling Huanwu in front of everyone last night, he couldn't wait to see Zhou Shuyao's devastated and heartbroken expression after his failed attempt to win back his wife.
He finally had someone to share this feeling of regret and despair with.
East of the family compound.
Although Zhou Shuyao didn't find out where his wife was, his feet seemed to be moving eastward on their own.
We stopped in front of a cozy stone house with a loofah trellis at the entrance.
He was bewildered and wanted to keep walking, but his feet seemed rooted to the spot.
Suddenly, the door opened, and a tall, imposing man walked out.
Zhou Shuyao took a closer look.

"Why are you cursing me to die? You don't want me to beg for your wife's release, do you? No way!"
Zhou Jiuzhen stared at him warily and sternly refused him before he could even speak.
To his surprise, the young man stared at the scratches on his body with a half-smile, a look of smug satisfaction on his face. "Brother, no wonder you don't like your wife, you're hiding another woman! Which pretty widow is in there? I'll go in and take a look..."
