Shen Qing originally thought that she wouldn't have any emotional fluctuations towards Xu Yanchi anymore. However, she greatly underestimated Xu Yanchi's shamelessness.
"How on earth will you agree to the divorce?"
Xu Yanchi's eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was crazy. "It's absolutely impossible, unless I'm dead!"
Shen Qing's eyes turned cold. Of course, she didn't think that Xu Yanchi was so in love with her that he couldn't bear to part with her. Xu Yanchi did this just to drag her down.
If he couldn't get what he wanted, he wouldn't let her have her way either.
Before Shen Qing could say anything, Ji Junye beside her had already moved. He kicked Xu Yanchi hard in the chest.
Xu Yanchi immediately flew out like a broken - string kite, hitting the door directly with a loud noise. After falling to the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"My Lord!"
"Cousin!"
Jiang Chan, Wei Shi and the other concubines exclaimed, but none of them dared to step forward to help, because Ji Junye was holding a sword, and the tip of the sword was pointing straight at Xu Yanchi's throat.
"If you want to die, I'll grant your wish right now."
Xu Yanchi laughed. "If I die, I'll never admit any divorce agreement. Shen Qing will always be a member of the Xu family."
He was taking a gamble, betting on Ji Junye's love for Shen Qing, betting that he would make concessions for Shen Qing's reputation and spare his life.
Ji Junye's voice was as cold as ice. "Do you really think I dare not kill you?"
"Fine, no divorce then."
Shen Qing's voice came. Ji Junye suddenly turned his head to look at Shen Qing, with a bit of grievance and anxiety. "Qingqing?"
On the way back, hadn't they agreed to take this opportunity to get the divorce agreement?
Shen Qing walked slowly to Ji Junye's side and looked down at Xu Yanchi. "I hope you remember your choice today and don't regret it."
Xu Yanchi showed a smile that he thought was affectionate. "If I let you leave me, that's when I'll truly regret it."
Seeing that Ji Junye was about to make a move again, Shen Qing held him tightly. If he killed Xu Yanchi, it would be so not worth it!
Didn't want to let her go?
Then don't blame her for turning his Marquis Mansion upside down.
She originally wanted to accumulate some good deeds for the child in her belly and not wipe them all out. Since Xu Yanchi was so stubborn, then don't blame her for being rude!
Shen Qing quietly instructed Zhuxing, "Call some people to smash everything here. All the damaged items and compensation will be paid from my account."
"Alright, brothers, let's get to work!"
Zhuxing directly called the Jinyu Guards and started smashing in front of everyone in the Marquis Mansion.
The Jinyu Guards usually did things like killing and raiding houses. Smashing someone's mourning hall was something they had never done before, but it was inexplicably satisfying.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the entire mourning hall was completely demolished.
Looking at the chaotic mourning hall, Shen Qing finally let out a sigh of relief. In her previous life, after her death, when she saw the mourning hall set up for her by Xu Yanchi and the others, she had wanted to do this. But at that time, she was just a soul and couldn't smash it. Now seeing the mourning hall being demolished, Shen Qing felt a sense of relief as if she was venting all the anger from her previous life.
Shen Qing's gaze slowly swept across the people of the Guangping Marquis Mansion who were huddled together. "Someone will tell you how to talk about today's matter later. You should weigh carefully what to say and what not to say. If a single word gets out, don't blame me for being merciless."
The old lady fainted on the spot.
Shen Qing just let out a soft "humph". "Carry her back to the Renshou Hall and invite a doctor to treat her."
Ji Junye watched coldly the whole time and didn't say a single word.
Shen Qing knew that he was angry. While the others were leaving, she quietly hooked his finger and asked in a low voice, "Come to my place?"
Ji Junye didn't object, so Shen Qing took it as his acquiescence. She gave a few more instructions and then walked towards the Zhuoying Courtyard.
Ji Junye threw the sword away and followed her.
The entire Guangping Marquis Mansion was now under their control. Ji Junye didn't even need to hide. As soon as they entered the door of the Zhuoying Courtyard, Shen Qing was hugged tightly.
"Miss... It's so good that you're okay, miss... I knew you wouldn't be in trouble..."
"Miss, if something happened to you, I wouldn't want to live either..."
Shen Qing patted Yingxiu's back and comforted her, "Okay, I'm back now."
"Woohoo... I originally wanted to go with them to look for you, miss, but Zhuxing said I would only cause trouble, so he asked me to come back alone and wouldn't let me see you..."
Yingxiu complained while crying.
Zhuxing, who was following behind Shen Qing and Ji Junye, turned his face away in disgust. Wasn't that the truth?
As Yingxiu was crying, she suddenly felt a cold breeze beside her. She looked up and her crying stopped abruptly.
Your Majesty? Why is His Majesty here?
She, she had even blocked His Majesty at the door...
Yingxiu stood there stunned, forgetting to react. It was Zhuxing who couldn't stand it anymore and pulled her to the side.
Shen Qing pulled Ji Junye into the room. "Prepare some food. I'm a bit hungry."
Then she looked at Ji Junye. "What would you like to eat?"
"Anything is fine."
Shen Qing nodded and named a few dishes he usually liked, with a hint of flattery.
Except for Yingxiu who knew the truth, the others in the Zhuoying Courtyard looked at each other in confusion.
Who was this man?
This was the inner courtyard. How could an outside man come in?
And the madam seemed so familiar with him?
Since Ji Junye had blocked off the entire Marquis Mansion when he came, and the people in the Zhuoying Courtyard were under Yingxiu's control and weren't allowed to run around, they still didn't know what had happened outside.
Almost as soon as Shen Qing and Ji Junye entered the inner room, everyone surrounded Zhuxing and Yingxiu tightly and bombarded them with questions.
Zhuxing:!!!
"The miss said she's hungry. I'll go check in the kitchen."
After saying that, Zhuxing slipped away. And since Yingxiu wasn't as nimble as Zhuxing, she had to stay there and face everyone's interrogation.
Yingxiu: "..." She kind of wanted to cry, really.
"Don't be angry. I can explain."
"I'm not angry." Although he said he wasn't angry, Ji Junye just stared at her fixedly, with an expression that said "I'm listening to your explanation".
Shen Qing found it a bit funny and wanted to kiss him. But Ji Junye suddenly raised his head and dodged, so her kiss only landed on his chin.
He still said he wasn't angry. He even wouldn't let her kiss him.
Shen Qing inexplicably thought that Ji Junye like this was a bit cute. Now that the truth was out, she was much bolder. Seeing him like this, Shen Qing couldn't help but have the urge to tease him.
He wouldn't let her kiss him, but she just wanted to.
Shen Qing tiptoed to kiss him, but Ji Junye deliberately avoided her kiss. Every time she was about to kiss him, he would dodge, which made Shen Qing glare at him.
When she advanced, he retreated; when she advanced again, he retreated again.
After a while, Shen Qing got annoyed. Just when Ji Junye had retreated as far as he could, Shen Qing pushed him down onto the bed and straddled his lap. She grabbed his collar and kissed him.
Shen Qing was in high spirits. Every time Ji Junye showed the intention to back off, Shen Qing would chase after him and launch another round of attacks.
Ji Junye still looked cold on the surface, but inside he was extremely happy. He had always been the one to take the initiative before. He didn't expect that just by pretending to refuse, the effect would be so good.
But Shen Qing was limited in physical strength. After playing for a while, she got tired and immediately wanted to quit the game. But how could Ji Junye let her have her way?
He grabbed her head with his big hand and didn't allow her to refuse at all.
During a break for breathing, Shen Qing asked him dizzily, "Are you still angry?"
"It depends on your performance."
After saying that, he directly kissed her lips, showing her physically how she could make him stop being angry.
