Night of the Divorce! A Proud Lady Was Forced to Marry the Emperor’s Uncle-Chapter 23

Chapter 23

Jiang Ruyun was consumed with pain and anguish. The more hurt she felt in her heart, the more hatred she harbored for Lan Zhi, and thus, she showed no mercy.

Hearing Lan Zhi’s scream, Granny Wei’s eyes filled with worry. “My Queen?”

“Jiang Peihuan, does your General Mansion intend to make enemies with Huainan Mansion? Don’t forget, our families are engaged,” said Chu Rou as she looked at the unfolding scene, her face turning pale with anger.

While she didn’t care whether Lan Zhi was beaten or not, it concerned the reputation of the Huainan Mansion, so she couldn’t ignore it.

“If the Zhao family cared even slightly about the engagement between our families, they wouldn’t allow a servant girl to have a child before the mistress enters the house,”

“As for making enemies, if we must, it’s your Zhao family that wants to make enemies with my Jiang family.”

The long whip in Jiang Peihuan’s hand kept dancing. When she heard the words of Chu Rou, the Queen of Huainan, she retorted in a cold tone.

Upon hearing this, Chu Rou’s eyes filled with hostility.

“Go and call the prince over, quickly.” she ordered

“My Huainan Mansion can’t afford the daughter of the Jiang Family.”

Hearing Chu Rou’s words, Jiang Peihuan’s eyes grew even colder, while Jiang Ruyun’s eyes revealed panic. Her hand holding the whip also stopped.

Seizing the opportunity, Lan Zhi hid beside Granny Wei.

“Second Sister, why did you let that woman off just like that?”

Sijin asked, looking at Jiang Ruyun who had suddenly stopped, her eyes filled with confusion. At that moment, hurried footsteps approached from the door.

It was Zhao Fuqing, accompanied by several cold and intimidating individuals, all are the secret guards of the Huainan King Mansion.

“Jiang Peihuan, how dare you cause a scene in my Huainan Mansion!” he shouted.

“Capture her. Show no mercy.”

“Yes, Prince.”

Upon hearing Zhao Fuqing’s order, the secret guards immediately lunged towards Jiang Peihuan. Watching the scene unfold, Jiang Peihuan’s eyes brimmed with mockery.

However, when she saw those secret guards, her aura instantly changed.

Secret guards were unlike ordinary guards. Although Jiang Peihuan’s martial arts skills were not weak, she was no match for these secret guards, especially when they attacked together.

Soon, Jiang Peihuan found herself at a disadvantage.

“Elder sister?” Sijin called out, her concern causing her to forget about Jiang Ruyun as she rushed forward. But someone had already intervened.

Xiao Nanye, his eyes filled with rage upon seeing the secret guards, flew directly to Jiang Peihuan’s side. He flipped the fan in his hand, and the two closest secret guards fell dead instantly.

“The Huainan King’s Mansion is only going from bad to worse,” he said.

“Han Feng, Ye Xiao, kill them all!”

“Yes.”

Jiang Peihuan’s hand was suddenly grasped by someone. Xiao Nanye led her to the side and said, “Just stand there and watch. With me here, no one will harm you.”

The man’s breath was cold, but his palm was warm. Feeling as though her hand was being scalded, she quickly broke free. “Your Highness, this has nothing to do with you.”

Why do you bother with such matters?

Although Jiang Peihuan didn’t finish her sentence, Xiao Nanye understood her meaning from her tone. He smiled and turned to look at the Zhao family, his eyes filled with coldness. “I won’t allow anyone to bully you.”

Chu Rou and Zhao Fuqing were both surprised to see Xiao Nanye.

Zhao Fuqing shouted, “Stop! Stop right now!”

However, his words came too late, as the secret guards had all died on the spot.

Looking at the dead bodies of the secret guards, Zhao Fuqing’s heart ached. They were all carefully nurtured by the Huainan King’s Mansion.

“King Cheng, what do you mean by this?”

At this moment, Zhao Fuqing didn’t even care about his fear. He looked at Xiao Nanye angrily.

Hearing Zhao Fuqing’s voice, Xiao Nanye looked at him. “Anyone who dares to insult Miss Jiang is effectively challenging me, Xiao Nanye, and they must face the consequences!”

“You…”

Looking at Xiao Nanye’s domineering attitude, Zhao Fuqing’s eyes were dark, but he did not dare to speak. He could only clench his fists tightly.

The Emperor had always been indulgent towards his younger brother. Even if this matter was reported to the Emperor, King Cheng would be fine.

On the contrary, the Huainan Mansion would be reprimanded.

“Mother, let them all go.”

If Zhao Fuqing could think clearly, the Huainan Queen understood even more. She glanced at Nanny Wei and said, ” You may leave. ”

After everyone had left, Chu Rou looked at Jiang Peihuan. ” Miss Jiang, you have already killed the people in my mansionn and Lan Zhi is also injured. Shouldn’t this matter end here? ”

Seeing King Cheng’s protecting Jiang Peihuan, Chu Rou knew that the key to this matter was Jiang Peihuan, so she addressed her directly.

“Today’s issue was caused by the unreasonableness of the Huainan Mansion. Wait until my father and second uncle return, then let them speak to the King of Huainan.”

” Sijin, hold your Second Sister. Let’s go. ”

Seeing that Jiang Ruyun’s face was getting paler, Jiang Peihuan didn’t linger and spoke directly.

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Chu Rou felt hatred in her heart. However, she did not dare to say anything in front of Xiao Nanye.

“Brother Zhao, our child is gone.”

Jiang Ruyun, supported by Sijin, looked at Zhao Fuqing with tears in her eyes, her gaze filled with pain.

However, when Zhao Fuqing heard this, he was only surprised for a few seconds before he quickly returned to normal. “There will be another children in the future. Don’t be too sad.”

“Brother Zhao?”

Hearing this, Jiang Ruyun was completely stunned. She looked at Zhao Fuqing in disbelief, as if she couldn’t believe that her beloved man had said these words.

There wasn’t a single question, no concern, nothing at all.

This was their child.

At this moment, Lan Zhi knelt in front of Zhao Fuqing with tears in her eyes. “Your Highness, it’s all my fault for angering Second Miss.”

“Lan Zhi, how did you get hurt? Get up quickly.”

Jiang Ruyun watched Zhao Fuqing personally help Lan Zhi up, feeling as if her heart was choking on blood, her hand holding the whip trembling.

She pushed Jiang Sijin away forcefully and lashed the whip at Lan Zhi. “You wretch! You killed my child and still dare to seduce Brother Zhao.”

“Jiang Ruyun, what are you doing? Have you lost your mind?”

Seeing Lan Zhi whipped to the ground by Jiang Ruyun, Zhao Fuqing was stunned. He turned to look at her, his face filled with anger.

“Brother Zhao, you… you’re actually defending this wretch.”

Jiang Ruyun stared at Zhao Fuqing with bloodshot eyes, but the man across from her looked at her coldly. “As the young lady of the General’s Mansion, how can you behave like a common woman? She is Xu Er’s mother, not some wretch.”

“You should return to the General’s Mansion first. If there’s anything, we can discuss it later.”

After saying that, Zhao Fuqing walked towards Chu Rou. Seeing this, Lan Zhi quickly followed.
