After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

Chapter 153 Rampage

Ye Qingzhu's face darkened, and just when Chun'er thought Ye Qingzhu was about to get angry, she heard her say, "What you said makes some sense."

"Fine, if he doesn't come back today, we'll wait near that courtyard tomorrow."

Ye Qingzhu said that given Jiang Wenjin's current situation, if he didn't go back here, he would definitely go to the old courtyard.

The Wang family must be among them.

Early in the morning, after not seeing Jiang Wenjin return to the mansion, Ye Qingzhu took Chun'er to the previous courtyard.

Just as I got nearby, I heard voices coming from not far away.

"Miss, it sounds like the young master's voice."

Ye Qingzhu glared at Chun'er, signaling her to be quiet, and walked over there quietly. She wanted to see what Wang Shi and Jiang Wenjin, mother and son, had been up to behind her back all this time.

The gate to the courtyard was half-closed, and Ye Qingzhu could see what was inside through the crack when she approached.

Jiang Wenjin was standing with his back to her, holding a woman's hand and talking to her.

Chun'er's eyes widened, and she subconsciously looked in Ye Qingzhu's direction. Before she could speak, she saw Ye Qingzhu kick the door open.

"Well, Jiang Wenjin, how dare you do something to betray me!"

Ye Qingzhu strode forward and slapped Jiang Wenjin across the face.

The woman gasped in fright, never expecting someone to barge in at this moment, especially with such a commotion.

Upon seeing the handprint on Jiang Wenjin's face, she hurriedly asked, "Cousin Wenjin, how are you?"

"How could you, a woman, lay a hand on someone?"

Faced with the woman's rebuke, Ye Qingzhu's anger flared even more. She forcefully pushed the woman to the ground and was about to retaliate when Jiang Wen quickly stepped forward to shield the woman behind him and angrily shouted at Ye Qingzhu, "Ye Qingzhu, what's wrong with you?"

"Crazy?" Ye Qingzhu's anger flared even more upon hearing this.

"Jiang Wenjin, you dare call me crazy? Don't forget who gave you everything you have now!"

If it weren't for her intervention, all the fame and success would have been in vain. The thought of how much she had sacrificed only to be treated this way by Jiang Wenjin made her very sad.

Ye Qingzhu wished she could tear Jiang Wenjin to pieces.

"Chun'er, what are you standing there for? Quickly hold this shameless slut down!"

"Let's see who dares!"

Jiang Wenjin showed no sign of backing down. In the past, he was only worried that Ye Qingzhu would use the Duke's mansion's power to prevent him from participating in the imperial examination.

But now the scientific expedition is over, and most importantly, he discovered that his so-called father-in-law didn't value Ye Qingzhu that much.

Moreover, Ye Qingzhu had offended the Regent's Consort. If he didn't find a way to survive, he would eventually perish along with Ye Qingzhu.

"Jiang Wenjin, are you determined to protect her today?"

Ye Qingzhu glared at the two of them fiercely, her eyes filled with a hatred that seemed to want to devour them.

"Ye Qingzhu, Yun'er is just my cousin from my hometown. She just came to the capital and came to stay with my mother. She is not what you think."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhu became even more agitated.

"What cousin? Jiang Wenjin, don't think I didn't see it just now. You were holding her hand and wouldn't let go."

"Cousin, who is this person? Why is he so fierce?"

The woman, who was being protected by Jiang Wenjin, suddenly spoke up. Her delicate and gentle manner only made Ye Qingzhu even more annoyed.

"Cousin, don't be afraid, I..."

"Ah!" Ye Qingzhu, with a fierce determination, struck Jiang Wenjin without regard for anything else.

Jiang Wenjin's face also darkened, and he raised his hand to slap Ye Qingzhu.

The scene fell silent instantly. Ye Qingzhu covered her swollen cheek, her face contorted with rage, and glared fiercely at Jiang Wenjin, demanding, "Jiang Wenjin, how dare you hit me?"

"Since you've all acted this way, then none of you are going to live!"

Jiang Wenjin noticed something was wrong and led the woman back several steps. During this time, Jiang Wenjin had gained a certain understanding of Ye Qingzhu.

This crazy woman is capable of anything when she gets angry.

Chun'er was also startled by the expression on Ye Qingzhu's face and dared not approach for a moment.

Suddenly, a cloud of black mist appeared around Ye Qingzhu, enveloping her completely before striking the woman being protected by Jiang Wenjin.

The black mist lifted the woman into the air, as if it were about to completely engulf her.

"Cousin Wenjin, please save me."

The woman looked pained and pleaded with Jiang Wenjin for help.

Jiang Wenjin hadn't expected this to happen, and hurriedly asked Ye Qingzhu, "Ye Qingzhu, what exactly did you do?"

"Quickly put the person down."

At this moment, Ye Qingzhu's eyes were bloodshot, and she couldn't hear what Jiang Wenjin was saying.

Seeing that the woman was about to suffocate, Jiang Wenjin didn't care about anything else. He picked up a stick from the ground and went to hit Ye Qingzhu.

His intuition told him that if he could subdue Ye Qingzhu at this moment, his cousin would be saved.

Seeing Jiang Wenjin's actions, Ye Qingzhu simply waved her hand, and before Jiang Wenjin could even get close, he was sent flying by the black energy she unleashed.

"Jiang Wenjin, since you like your cousin so much, then I'll show you how she suffers."

Just then, an old woman's voice came from outside the door.

"Wenjin, why is the door still open? I bought some things that can help you and Yun'er get together."

"So that old woman was involved in this too. She came just in time, saving me the trouble of cleaning them up one by one."

Jiang Wenjin, who was lying on the ground, turned pale with fright when he heard the noise. Ignoring the pain in his body, he shouted loudly to Wang Shi, who was about to come in, "Mother, please don't come in."

Wang did not notice anything amiss and continued walking inside even after hearing Jiang Wenjin's voice.

Upon entering the courtyard, he saw the woman bound in mid-air by black energy, and Jiang Wenjin lying on the ground with bloodstains at the corner of his mouth. He was so frightened that he dropped everything he was carrying.

"Ye Qingzhu, what did you do to my son?"

When Wang saw Ye Qingzhu appear, she quickly realized that this matter must be related to her.

"Humph!"

"You old hag, today not only Jiang Wenjin and this bitch are going to get away, but you won't get away either."

Jiang Wen struggled to get up from the ground, and when he realized his current situation, he spoke to Ye Qingzhu with a hint of pleading in his voice.

"Qingzhu... no... wife, if you have any anger, just take it out on me. My mother is innocent."

"Chun'er, you must persuade her quickly, otherwise something terrible will happen."

Jiang Wenjin saw Chun'er standing to the side, stunned with fear, and quickly said.

Chun'er's body trembled uncontrollably. She tried to speak, but her body wouldn't obey her commands.

"Second...Second Miss..."

"Chun'er, you'd better shut up at a time like this, or I'll deal with you too!"
