how so?
How did she end up like this?
It's Ye Zhen!
Yes, it all started with Ye Zhen's rebellion, and she has been on a downward spiral ever since.
Otherwise, she would still be the high and mighty Lady Marquis.
Once her cloud boat ascends to the throne, her remaining life will only be more glorious. It was Ye Zhen who ruined her.
Since she can't survive, then Ye Zhen shouldn't expect to have an easy time either.
She suddenly stood up, laughing loudly, and looked at Marquis Zhongyong, "Yes, I am a harlot. I not only seduced Fu Jiang, but I also seduced other men, Yun Zhou, back when we got married..."
Yunzhou is my son with another man, so Ye Zhen, whom you value now, is not your daughter-in-law at all.
You should kick her out of the house!
Pfft!
It was the sound of a longsword piercing flesh!
Marquis Zhongyong realized what she wanted to say and pierced her body directly with his longsword.
If Lady Liu were to continue speaking and let the world know that Ye Zhen was not the daughter-in-law of the Marquis's family, and if her father-in-law were to keep Ye Zhen, it would inevitably lead people to suspect their relationship as father-in-law and daughter-in-law, which would be detrimental to Ye Zhen's reputation.
However, if Ye Zhen were to leave the manor, the Ye family would not be her support, and she would have nowhere to stay.
Marquis Zhongyong had not yet figured out what to do with Ye Zhen, so he killed Liu Shi first, even though he was going to kill her anyway.
Liu wanted to harm Ye Zhen, but she could no longer speak and collapsed in despair.
A hidden weapon struck her silently, sending her crashing straight towards Fu Jiang.
The hidden weapon was originally intended by Xie Tingzhou to finish off Liu Shi and stop her from speaking recklessly, but the Marquis of Zhongyong made the first move.
The blood-soaked woman slammed into him, and Fu Jiang's fear intensified, especially when the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage drew his sword and looked at him. He desperately looked to the old lady for help.
The old lady's heart trembled violently, and she was about to speak to stop them when someone was faster than her.
"Lord Xie, you mustn't kill him."
Princess Kang Le led her entourage forward quickly.
Fu Jiang breathed a long sigh of relief; his savior had arrived!
He pushed Liu aside and began to straighten his own clothes.
The Marquis of Zhongyong paused only for a moment before continuing to thrust at Fu Jiang, pretending not to have heard Kang Le's words.
But he was stopped by someone—a royal guard!
Marquis Zhongyong's eyes widened in shock as he turned to Kang Le, "Princess, what is the meaning of this? Why are you interfering in the affairs of my Marquis's household?"
Kang Le stepped forward and said, “Thank you, Lord Marquis. I have no intention of making things difficult for you. On the contrary, I came here today for your sake. This person must not be killed.”
“Why shouldn’t I kill a lecherous scoundrel who has infiltrated my manor and done whatever he pleases?”
Kang Le approached and held up an object in his palm in front of the Marquis of Zhongyong.
When Xie Tingzhou saw the object clearly, his pupils dilated in shock.
Ye Zhen didn't recognize it, only vaguely seeing that it was something like a jade pendant, but she knew that this thing must have a special origin, because the Marquis of Zhongyong lowered his sword.
Kang Le smiled and said, "Fu Jiang's mistake will be explained to the Marquis in the future, but today I need to take him away first. I hope the Marquis will grant my request."
Marquis Zhongyong stared at the object, silent.
Fu Jiang, having gained his advantage, got up from the ground and walked over to Kang Le.
Kang Le sized him up, frowned, and gestured to the guard beside him to take off his shoes and socks for Fu Jiang.
Fu Jiang gave Zhongyong Hou a provocative look, and just as he was about to put on his shoes, two cold glints flashed, and he shrank a head.
It was Zhongyong Hou and Xie Tingzhou who drew their swords at the same time, each cutting off one of his legs.
The father and son simultaneously stopped their stances and looked coldly at Kang Le.
Marquis Zhongyong drew the sword from Xie Tingzhou's hand and stood in front of him, saying, "No matter who Fu Jiang is, he bullied me first, and I will not let him leave unscathed today."
The princess said someone would give this lord an explanation for his mistakes, and then he would give that explanation before coming back to demand the man back.
