To cover up Xie Yunzhou's return to the capital and to deal with Ye Zhen, Granny Feng sent everyone away from the manor.
This made things easier for Ye Zhen.
She had just climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard with the person in her arms when she heard Xie Yunzhou's voice inside the house.
"I wonder if things have been resolved over there?"
"Does my strength not seem enough, or are my techniques not varied enough, so that you still have the mind to think about other women..."
Ye Zhen pursed her lips.
Pathetic!
Xie Yunzhou was actually the one on the bottom.
She actually became a stepping stone for this kind of person.
The voice that made her nauseous rang out again, "If Ye Zhen is not eliminated, how can we be as carefree as we are now after we return to the manor?"
Only by solidifying her stigma and refusing to marry again in the future will the world believe that I am heartbroken by her and dare not marry again.
That way, we can stay together forever. It's a good deal for her, though. The daughter of a minor official raised in the countryside has managed to marry into my Marquis of Zhongyong's household and become the young mistress of the Marquis's mansion for three years..."
A dark glint appeared in Ye Zhen's eyes. He threw Granny Feng heavily at the doorway and concealed himself.
The commotion outside startled the two people inside who were locked in a fierce battle.
"who?"
Xie Yunzhou's voice was accompanied by the rustling sound of clothes being put on.
Originally, Granny Feng had fainted from the pain, but this throw woke her up. Her will to live drove her to pound on the door desperately.
The door was opened from the inside.
A tall man dressed in a white undergarment, carrying a long sword, saw Granny Feng and his expression hardened. "What's going on? Where's Ye Zhen?"
Granny Feng desperately wanted to tell him everything, but all she could do was hum and groan.
The man was Chi Heng, Xie Yunzhou's bodyguard and a martial artist. He noticed that Granny Feng's jaw had been dislocated and bent down to put it back on for her.
Ye Zhen suddenly appeared, immobilized Chi Heng's pressure points, and took his sword.
Xie Yunzhou was stunned by what he saw. "Ye Zhen?"
How did she end up here, and even know martial arts?
Granny Feng failed!
Realizing this, Xie Yunzhou quickly made a move against Ye Zhen.
Although he was the son of a military general, he had hated martial arts since childhood and was not very skilled.
He was pinned to the bed by Ye Zhen in just a few moves.
"Ye Zhen, how dare you! What do you want to do?"
Xie Yunzhou thought Ye Zhen had gone mad, daring to humiliate him like this.
"I am your husband, and the husband is the head of the household...you..."
The cold, longsword pierced his heart without hesitation.
Ye Zhen then replied, "That's a ridiculous question. I'm here to kill you... and your lover."
He also knew that he was her husband.
In her past life, after she was locked in a dilapidated house, Xie Yunzhou visited her once.
But it was all for the sake of a promotion; he wanted her to sleep with another man.
The man was wearing a mask, and Ye Zhen didn't know who he was or why he would take a liking to her.
But Ye Zhen refused to cooperate and fought back fiercely, injuring the man. However, he was also tortured to death after his hands and feet were cut off.
Burning with hatred, Ye Zhen felt he should tear Xie Yunzhou to pieces.
But she has just been reborn, and there are still many things she needs to do to change her fate from her previous life.
She also didn't want Xie Yunzhou to live on, because while that would torment Xie Yunzhou, it would also bring her trouble and disgust herself.
Having been given a second chance at life, Ye Zhen wants to take revenge, but more importantly, he wants to live a good life.
Upon seeing Xie Yunzhou killed, Chi Heng's eyes widened in fury, and he attempted to break free of his acupoints.
Ye Zhen dragged him to the bedside, "Don't rush, I'll take you downstairs to keep him company."
She shoved the longsword into Chi Heng's hand, and the instant she released his pressure points, she grabbed the hand holding the sword and slashed it across his neck.
It was like suicide.
They moved the body next to Xie Yunzhou and posed the two of them in a loving pose.
Ye Zhen carved the words "heartless and fickle" on Xie Yunzhou's face.
It appropriately obscured part of his face.
He then used Chi Heng's sword to carve on the wall, "What is love in this world? Years of entwined affection cannot compare to fame and fortune!"
It uses Chi Heng's handwriting.
Ye Zhen once saw Chi Heng writing in Xie Yunzhou's study.
At that time, Chi Heng told her that Xie Yunzhou had taught him to write.
His tone was smug and provocative.
After Xie Yunzhou's death, she asked Lady Hou for Xie Yunzhou's calligraphy copybooks to practice, and discovered that they contained many of Chi Heng's characters.
At that time, she never dreamed that the two of them had this kind of relationship, so she thought she was overthinking it.
It turned out that Chi Heng was indeed asserting his dominance over her.
Ye Zhen chuckled and carefully wiped away any remaining traces in the room.
She remained calm and composed throughout, acting slowly yet meticulously and efficiently.
Granny Feng watched all this in horror, her body already drenched in cold sweat.
After cleaning up the scene, Ye Zhen squatted down in front of her. "You old beast, does it hurt?"
Granny Feng nodded vigorously.
She prayed that Ye Zhen would show her some mercy.
Ye Zhen smiled, channeled his inner energy, and slapped her back, causing her even more pain and rendering her unable to speak, but she would not die immediately.
"It's supposed to hurt."
In her past life, she also suffered excruciating pain, wishing she were dead.
"If you receive timely treatment, you can still save your life; otherwise, even Hua Tuo could not save you."
As Granny Feng watched Ye Zhen's departing figure, she felt resentful and regretful.
She shouldn't have sent everyone from the estate into the mountains.
Ye Zhen carried the bodies of the two rough-working women to Granny Feng's side.
After everything was arranged, she took a porcelain bottle, slung a basket over her shoulder, and used her light-footed skills to enter the mountain.
To lure her to the estate, Lady Hou feigned illness. The doctor said that she needed to use dew at midnight to brew the medicine.
Lady Hou asked Granny Feng to accompany her to the estate to collect night dew.
Yesterday, they picked some and sent it back, but the reply from the capital said it wasn't enough.
Using this as an excuse, Granny Feng let everyone enter the mountain, including her maid, Wanxing.
