Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the Regent in a black robe. His face was as cold as the snow and frost that had been there for thousands of years. He was extremely majestic, and the aura around him was cold and noble. His powerful aura made people feel inexplicably oppressed and they dared not act rashly.

When Yongding Hou saw the visitor, his face turned pale with fear, and he immediately bowed respectfully: "This old minister greets the Regent."

When these words came out, all the onlookers were shocked.

The Regent is a more terrifying existence in Cangyue Kingdom than King Yama. It is rumored that the Regent is cruel and brutal, does not recognize his relatives, and kills people without hesitation. If he wants someone to die at three o'clock in the morning, that person will definitely not live until five o'clock.

No one expected that the Regent would also come to the Buddhist Fasting Festival.

The wife of the Marquis of Yongding and Liu Kun were also startled and immediately knelt down to pay their respects.

[Oh my god, the regent is so handsome. ]

【It is a timely rain to save people at the critical moment. 】

[The Regent is simply my idol. He is the first to arrive when I am in trouble. ]

【I am moved. I am moved.】

When Cang Boyi heard Ye Xingchen's inner thoughts, a hint of warmth flashed across his hawk-like eyes, but his face remained as cold as a pond.

"I didn't know that Marquis Yongding was so careless about human life!" The Regent snorted coldly.

Yongding Hou trembled with fear: "The Regent King has wronged me. How dare I do that? It was this woman who broke my son's arm and instigated the Zhao family to divorce. That's why I took action to teach her a lesson."

"Oh, really?" The Regent raised his eyebrows and looked over.

Ye Xingchen immediately spoke up: "Replying to the Regent, Ajiu and I were having dinner here, and we saw this mother and son torturing their daughter-in-law, beating and scolding her, and humiliating her. This Young Master Liu insisted on taking her maid as a concubine. The maid and my cousin were already engaged, but he wanted to force her to death, so I helped them."

Cang Boyi's sharp black pupils were like a sharp blade, coldly sweeping towards Liu Kun: "Is this true?"

Facing the Regent, Liu Kun naturally did not dare to hide the truth: "The maid's indenture is in the Yongding Marquis's Mansion. It is her blessing that this young master likes her."

"Although her indenture is in the Yongding Marquis Mansion, she is also a living person and has the right to refuse. You are trying to take her as a concubine but you are forcing her to death. How dare you say that it is right to take her life so lightly?" Ye Xingchen asked back coldly.

"That is the business of my Yongding Marquis Mansion. There is no need for you to meddle in it." Liu Kun curled his lips.

"I will take care of this trivial matter today." Ye Xingchen immediately put away the immobilization talisman, and the maid Fu'er fell to the ground.

"Fu'er, tell me yourself, are you willing to be Mr. Liu's concubine?"

Fu Er got free and crawled over from the ground on her knees: "I pay my respects to the Regent and ask him to make the decision for me. My cousin and I have been childhood sweethearts and have grown up together. We have already been engaged and will be married next month.

The young lady has already given me the indenture, and I am worried about her, so I am thinking of leaving at the beginning of next month. Please, Lord Regent, please help me. I will never be your concubine, even if I die."

As Fu'er spoke, he kowtowed loudly, and after a few kowtows his forehead became red and swollen.

"Marquis Yongding is really capable of robbing women from the people and forcing them to be his concubines!" Cang Boyi's voice was cold and without a trace of warmth.

Yongding Hou had a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead and glared at his son: "She is just a little maid. There are all kinds of women like her. What a useless thing."

Then he said respectfully, "I'm sorry to make the Regent laugh. I really didn't know. If I knew that this maid was engaged, I would definitely not let my son force her."

"Marquis Yongding already knows about it now, shouldn't he give an explanation?" Ye Xingchen asked back.

Yongding Hou rolled his eyes at her and said, "Since she is engaged, I will release her."

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, the regent, and thank you, young lady." Fu'er was so moved that tears flowed down his face and he kowtowed desperately.

Ye Xingchen came over and helped her up: "Get up, happiness and freedom are something you have to fight for yourself. This is what you fought for yourself."

"Thank you, young lady. If you hadn't saved Fu'er, I would have died. Fu'er would work like a slave to repay you." Fu'er said gratefully.

Zhao, who was standing by, knew that Ye Xingchen was trying to point her out. Could she really do it?

"If you want to divorce, the Regent can make the decision for you. This is your only chance!" Ye Xingchen said seriously.

The so-called killing is to destroy the heart. If she doesn't want to save herself, it's useless for others to save her.

"Young Madam, Fu'er begs you to leave the Yongding Marquis' Mansion as soon as possible, otherwise you will be beaten to death." Fu'er said distressedly.

"Zhao, if you dare to divorce, this young master will never let you go. Who would dare to want a slut that this young master has played with?" Liu Kun said angrily.

"Even if no one wants me, I don't want to follow a beast like you anymore!" Zhao mustered up her courage, walked a few steps to the regent, and knelt down with a plop.

"I beg the regent to make the decision for me. I want a divorce or a divorce, but I would rather die than follow Liu Kun."

"Zhao, you are a heartless thing. When your Zhao family fell into decline and your parents died tragically, it was my Yongding Marquis Mansion that did not despise you. I married you and made you my legal wife. Now you actually dare to ask for a divorce. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?" the old lady of Yongding Marquis roared.

Zhao sneered: "You married me because you were afraid of being criticized. After all, Liu Kun and I were engaged when we were three years old, and the whole capital knows about it.

My Zhao family has fallen on hard times, and I am the only orphan left. You did fulfill your promise and married me, but you made me do servant work every day, washing clothes and cooking, and even carrying the palace bucket for the old lady, and gave me leftovers to eat.

In the cold winter, the old woman deliberately asked me to wash clothes. I had no regrets in serving my parents-in-law, but you made me wash the clothes of all the servants in the mansion.

My hands have frostbite, and they become red and swollen every winter, but you let your servants put my hands in the stove and roast them, and you said I was being hypocritical.

Zhao stretched out her hands as she spoke. Everyone was shocked when they saw those hands, and some women even had tears in their eyes.

Those hands were not as white and smooth as those of a noble lady, nor were they as rough and dark yellow as those of an ordinary woman. Instead, her hands were red and swollen, covered with blisters and countless tiny bloody wounds, some of which were scabby and some were still bleeding. It was obvious that she had been wearing out her hands from doing heavy labor for a long time.

Everyone immediately started to criticize, saying that even the hands of servants were much better than these hands.

The old lady of Yongdinghou looked a little embarrassed: "You did it on your own will, I didn't force you."

"You didn't force me, but you said that if I didn't do it, you wouldn't allow me to burn paper and commemorate my deceased parents on the Ghost Festival." Zhao retorted.

"This old woman is so vicious. The other person's parents are dead, but she actually uses this to threaten him. She is so rotten." One person couldn't stand it anymore and accused her.

"She is the wife of the Marquis of Yongding, but she is so rotten that maggots grow on her. She is not a human being at all."

"If you don't like her, you can divorce her. Are you still a human being if you torture her like this?"

Marquis Yongding listened to the accusations of the crowd and then looked at his daughter-in-law's hands with an extremely ugly expression.

It was Zhao's father who saved Marquis Yongding's life, so after the Zhao family fell into decline, Marquis Yongding still insisted on letting his son marry Zhao. However, he never cared about the affairs of the inner house, and had no idea that his wife tortured Zhao like this.

"These are fine, but what I can't stand the most is Liu Kun. He is simply a pervert." Zhao said as she rolled up her sleeves.
