When Zhao Canchen publicly insulted Ren Chuanhe, saying he had been cuckolded by a beggar, his face turned extremely ugly in an instant. First, it was as pale as paper, then it turned red with anger, and finally it turned ashen.
He was so angry that he was trembling all over, even his fingers were shaking slightly, and he had clearly lost his last bit of reason.
Ren Chuanhe stared intently at Zhao Canchen with his bulging eyes, pointing a trembling finger at the other's nose, and shouting and cursing, "What are you? You parentless bastard! You deserve to die a horrible death!" His voice became sharp and shrill with anger, echoing in the courtyard.
Despite Ren Chuanhe's fierce insults, Zhao Canchen remained unmoved. He was delighted that he had provoked Ren Chuanhe into hurling insults, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Zhao Canchen's smile was particularly irritating to Ren Chuanhe, as if it were mocking Ren Chuanhe's incompetence and anger, which made Ren Chuanhe curse even louder.
"You little bastard, why aren't you dead yet? You filthy thing, you deserve to die a horrible death!"
"Hahaha..." Zhao Canchen suddenly burst into laughter. The laughter rang in Ren Chuanhe's ears like a sharp sword, piercing straight into his heart.
Ren Chuanhe's anger was completely ignited by this laughter, and he cursed even more fiercely, "What the hell are you laughing at? You're going to die a horrible death, you damned bastard!"
Driven by anger, his voice grew louder and sharper, while Zhao Canchen's laughter grew louder and more unrestrained along with his insults.
Zhao Canchen's gaze toward Ren Chuanhe was full of mockery and sarcasm, as if he were looking at someone who was about to die. But Ren Chuanhe was oblivious to this and continued to hurl insults.
Zhao Songhao, carrying his sword, was about to step forward to stop Ren Chuanhe from cursing, but seeing Zhao Canchen laughing even after being cursed by Ren Chuanhe, he wisely stood still and glared angrily at Ren Chuanhe.
The servants of the Ren family were stunned and at a loss for what to do when Ren Chuanhe suddenly started cursing at Zhao Canchen.
After a while, they came to their senses and realized the situation was serious. They rushed forward to persuade him, saying, "Sir, please calm down and don't be impulsive! This person is no ordinary person; you can't just yell at him!"
At this moment, Ren Chuanhe was blinded by anger and refused to listen to the servants' advice.
Not only did he not stop cursing, but he cursed even more fiercely, even jumping up and down while cursing, and the words he uttered became increasingly vile: "So what if I curse? He's a despicable person!"
"A man like him will get what's coming to him sooner or later!"
...
Lin Yajun stood to the side, her face pale and her lips tightly pressed together. She watched as Zhao Canchen was subjected to such vile insults by Ren Chuanhe because of her, and her heart was filled with guilt and anger.
She felt extremely resentful of Ren Chuanhe's behavior. This despicable man was not only arrogant and domineering, but also so rude to Zhao Canchen!
"That bastard deserves to die!" Lin Yajun cursed through gritted teeth, and at the same time, she moved her hand, placing her finger on the button of the hidden weapon.
Zhao Canchen leaned close to Lin Yajun's ear and whispered, "You absolutely mustn't act impulsively, don't do anything. He definitely won't live past tomorrow." His voice was deep and firm, carrying a reassuring quality that put Lin Yajun at ease.
Lin Yajun's eyes met Zhao Canchen's, and there seemed to be a tacit understanding between them.
She immediately understood that Zhao Canchen had deliberately provoked Ren Chuanhe to scold him, thus causing Ren Chuanhe to get into trouble. So, she obediently nodded to Zhao Canchen.
But the moment she nodded, her hand seemed to have a mind of its own, and quickly and decisively pressed down the hidden weapon in her hand.
The poisoned needle shot silently and without a trace straight towards Ren Chuanhe's body. Ren Chuanhe didn't even notice the sudden attack before the poisoned needle was already deeply embedded in his body.
Ren Chuanhe was engrossed in his anger and cursing and was completely unaware of the sudden attack.
When the hidden weapon pierced his clothes and penetrated deeply into his body, Ren Chuanhe suddenly felt a sharp pain. He looked down in surprise and saw no injury, but felt a throbbing pain inside his body.
Just then, Lin Daoyan returned home from guarding the city gate.
Before he even entered the courtyard, he could hear Ren Chuanhe cursing loudly from afar.
Lin Daoyan's heart tightened, and he quickly quickened his pace, rushing into the courtyard to check the situation.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Ren Chuanhe jumping around like a monkey, pointing at Zhao Canchen and cursing loudly.
Upon seeing this, Lin Daoyan was first taken aback, then angrily rushed forward and shouted at Ren Chuanhe, "Get out! Get out of here! Or I'll kill you with one sword!"
After saying that, Lin Daoyan suddenly drew his long sword from his waist and pointed it straight at Ren Chuanhe. The blade gleamed with a cold light, sending chills down one's spine.
Ren Chuanhe was startled by Lin Daoyan's sudden action, but he refused to back down and said fiercely, "You dare to kill me? Humph, you just wait!"
He knew perfectly well that he was no match for Lin Daoyan. Not to mention his own skills, even with all the servants he had brought, they were no match for Lin Daoyan.
Ren Chuanhe cursed and swore, but then turned around and scurried away from the Lin residence. The servants who had been following him also ran away like mice seeing a cat.
Lin Daoyan watched Ren Chuanhe and the others flee, snorted coldly, and casually sheathed his long sword.
He then picked up the betrothal gifts that were placed in the courtyard and, without any mercy, threw them all over the courtyard wall onto the street outside the courtyard.
A series of crisp "snap" sounds rang out, as Lin Daoyan used his actions to declare his attitude to Ren Chuanhe: I will never agree to this marriage!
Lin Daoyan's eyes flashed with a sinister light. He made up his mind: If the Ren family dares to force my daughter to marry them again, I will wipe out the entire Ren family! Let's see who they send to marry my daughter!
Madam Xu was already sobbing uncontrollably. She cried to Lin Daoyan, "Master, if our family breaks off the engagement, according to the rules, our daughter will be punished with a hundred strokes of the cane! Wouldn't that mean our daughter will die?"
Upon hearing Xu's words, Lin Daoyan sneered and muttered, "Hmph, whether he'll live to see tomorrow is still uncertain... Even if he doesn't die, I'll make sure he doesn't live to see that day!"
Madam Xu froze on the spot, staring blankly at her husband. Her lips trembled for a while before she whispered, "Please... be careful."
"Yes!" Lin Daoyan nodded gently.
