Chi Yanzhou suddenly stood up, his eyes sweeping fiercely toward her: “Liang Chuying, since I was young, no one has ever been able to scheme against me! Not only did you scheme to marry me, but you also wanted my body! Since you care so little for your life, then there is no need for you to live! I give you two choices: 1, throw yourself into the well; 2, die by my sword!”
Liang Chuying was utterly speechless!
[Damn, is this how you repay kindness? If it weren’t for me, you would have already been robbed of your innocence and killed by the original owner!]
[This original owner was truly reckless. The Crown Prince clearly gave her arsenic, so why did she switch it to Hehuan Powder?]
[This bastard man is unreasonable. I might as well poison him to death!]
Though she thought this in her heart, she still smiled sweetly and said, “Husband, I was foolish in the past. I promise, as long as you give me a Divorce Agreement, I will leave immediately without looking back! Don’t worry, Father dotes on me the most and won’t cause you any trouble!”
Chi Yanzhou sneered, “Why go through all that trouble? I’ve always believed only the dead bring peace!”
[Bastard man, if it weren’t for the fact that I need your love to survive, why would I humble myself like this? You’re just a short-lived ghost anyway, what’s there to be so arrogant about! According to the plot, the female lead can sleep with him even without the medicine! Fine, if he wants to die, let him die!]
“Husband, please give me another chance. I promise I’ll be good! As long as you don’t kill me, I’m willing to stay in the mansion as a maid, washing your clothes and cooking for you.”
Looking at this duplicitous woman, Chi Yanzhou narrowed his eyes dangerously: “Do you think An Wangfu lacks maids?”
Cursing him to die yet still wanting to stay in the mansion.
Her ambitions were truly grand.
Liang Chuying grinned foolishly: “It seems not!”
In the blink of an eye, Chi Yanzhou’s sharp sword was pressed against her neck.
She was terrified, trembling!
“Husband, swords have no eyes. Please put it away quickly. If you accidentally get hurt, it wouldn’t be good.”
[Is this the legendary Blood-Sealing Throat? When this sword is drawn, its light is like a rainbow, capable of splitting the sky for a thousand miles with a single swing! My goodness, this was bestowed upon him by the Emperor for killing enemies on the battlefield! And now he’s using it against a weak woman like me who can’t even tie up a chicken!]
[I shouldn’t have saved him earlier. I should have stabbed his Death Point with a needle.]
[If it were in my previous life, I could crush this so-called sword that cuts through iron like mud in minutes!]
[But now, I’m just a useless waste!]
[Wah, Dagua, save me! Kill him, kill him!]
[Host, Dagua is powerless to help. Before you die, do you have any last words?]
[Dagua, I want to eat the spicy tofu my mom cooks. I want to tell her that I should have listened to her, studied hard, worked hard, married well, had children, and carried on the family line! I shouldn’t have pursued Cultivation. I regret it.]
[Host, goodbye.]
‘Whoosh!’
“Ah!”
With Liang Chuying’s scream, several strands of hair were cut and fell to the ground.
The sword was quickly sheathed by Chi Yanzhou.
“I’ve decided to give you a chance.”
Liang Chuying, who had already resigned herself to death, was stunned for a moment before excitedly wrapping her arms around his neck!
“Husband, don’t worry, I will definitely cherish this opportunity!”
[Once you fall completely in love with me, I’ll divorce you! Who wants to stay with a short-lived ghost like you!]
Chi Yanzhou’s eyes turned cold.
Liang Chuying immediately let go.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
“Brother Zhou, are you alright?”
Mu Yan’s sweet, delicate voice sounded from outside the door.
【Judging by the timing, the female lead should be entering soon.】
【The female lead’s green tea skills are truly perfected to the highest level. I really wonder if I’ve been reading a pirated novel.】
【Fine, since you two are so deeply in love, I won’t disturb you.】
【No, if they sleep together, what chance will I have?】
Chi Yanzhou gave Liang Chuying a complicated look, then opened the door.
“Brother Zhou, are you alright?”
Mu Yan held a bowl of ginseng soup and carefully examined Chi Yanzhou from head to toe.
How strange. He was screaming so miserably earlier, yet there isn’t a single injury on him.
Could it be that Liang Chuying, that fool, failed to succeed?
Brother Crown Prince was ultimately uneasy about leaving things to this fool, so he specifically arranged for her to come and finish the job.
Now it seems Brother Crown Prince truly has foresight.
What could that good-for-nothing Liang Chuying possibly accomplish?
“I’m fine. Why are you here?”
Seeing her, Chi Yanzhou recalled Liang Chuying’s inner thoughts and couldn’t help but feel a twinge of doubt.
He had always treated Mu Yan like a younger sister, attending to every detail.
She never lacked anything a sister would have.
He had always believed Mu Yan was sincere in her feelings toward him as well.
But now, thinking back, perhaps that wasn’t entirely true?
【Mu Yan, the female lead? She’s clearly the Emperor’s spy and the Crown Prince’s mistress! When she was young, she pushed the second male lead into the water and only saved him after he was nearly dead, which is how she won his affection. How strange—she’s supposed to be the female lead, so why is she acting like such a green tea bitch?】
【Dagua, hurry and check—did I read a pirated novel?】
Dagua: 【Host, because you were unwilling to purchase the official novel, the version you read is indeed pirated.】
【Holy crap! Then what’s the official plot like?】
Dagua: 【I’m not sure either, but I do know everyone’s past and what will happen within the next three days.】
【Then quickly dig up the dirt on this Mu Yan.】
【Holy crap! Mu Yan just finished rolling in the sheets with the Crown Prince at his residence, then rushed over here—all to finish off Chi Yanzhou? The ginseng soup in her hand is actually Hehuan Powder?】
【The Crown Prince is actually a premature ejaculator who can’t satisfy Mu Yan? And Mu Yan is keeping a male lover on the side?】
【This gossip is truly overwhelming! Haha, Chi Yanzhou just tried to kill me earlier. I’ll wait until he’s drugged and then make him beg me!】
【Wait, no—he’d be more than happy to sleep with Mu Yan. Why would he beg me?】
【Dagua, what should I do? Should I let them have their fun?】
【Host, it’s up to you. Dagua doesn’t know either.】
Mu Yan handed the bowl of ginseng soup to Chi Yanzhou, her eyes seductive and her voice soft: “Brother Zhou, I personally prepared this ginseng soup to nourish your body. Drink it while it’s hot!”
Chi Yanzhou took it and glanced at the soup in the bowl.
He lowered his head and opened his mouth.
【This dog of a man really dares to drink it? Dagua, should I warn him?】
【Bah! Given how much he hates me, why would he listen to me anyway?】
【Go ahead, drink it! I refuse to believe you can withstand the effects of Hehuan Powder twice in one night!】
【Just explode and die already!】
The man suddenly raised his head, his eyes narrowing dangerously.
“The Crown Princess has worked hard just now. This bowl of ginseng soup is my reward to you!”
What the hell!
Liang Chuying was so startled she nearly jumped!
This dog of a man actually wants to force her to drink Hehuan Powder!
“No!”
Liang Chuying and Mu Yan spoke in unison.
Chi Yanzhou feigned confusion as he looked at the two of them.
Liang Chuying smiled with feigned sincerity. “Since this soup was prepared by Sister Mu Yan for my husband, how could I possibly take what belongs to another?”
Mu Yan cooed sweetly, “Brother Zhou, this is my heartfelt gift. You mustn’t give it away.”
Liang Chuying chimed in, “Yes, yes! Sister Mu Yan cares deeply for you, husband. Don’t let her kind intentions go to waste. Oh, I just remembered—I have something to attend to. I’ll take my leave now.”
[The best strategy is to retreat! I won’t keep you company any longer. If you two want to carry on, go right ahead!]
Just as Liang Chuying was about to step away, Chi Yanzhou spoke calmly, “Wait! Drink this bowl of ginseng soup, and I will grant you two opportunities.”
