Chapter 446 Tragedy is about to unfold

"Holy crap! You dare to act tough with me!" Wang Wenzhou turned around, waved his hand, and ordered, "Xiao Wei, bring me my imperial sword!"

"Swish!" Wang Wenzhou drew his sword, pointed it at Chen Qianfu, and asked coldly, "Lord Chen, are you leaving or not? If you're not leaving, don't blame me for not showing mercy!"

Chen Qianfu was quite helpless. Wang Wenzhou, that mad dog, was holding the imperial sword. If he resisted, Wang Wenzhou might actually kill him with one sword.

Chen Qianfu cupped his hands in greeting and said with a wry smile, "Lord Wang, I will go with you. May I give you a few instructions?"

Wang Wenzhou nodded and said, "We should make arrangements for future generations first. Let's do it quickly."

Chen Qianfu said to his steward, "Old Li, please tell the ladies that I have official business to attend to these few days and will not be able to go home. Please tell them not to worry."

"Master! You..." The steward was afraid that Chen Qianfu would never return.

"Pat pat!" Chen Qianfu patted the steward's shoulder and said in a seemingly calm manner, "Don't worry, I am an official appointed by the court. I have always been fair and honest and have never committed any illegal acts. Lord Wang will not do anything to me."

After giving his instructions, Chen Qianfu said with a wry smile, "Lord Wang, let's go."

"Haha!" Wang Wenzhou laughed loudly, "Old Chen, I thought you would send someone to deliver a message and rescue you, but you didn't. Old Chen, is there something wrong with your character?"

"Alas..." Chen Qianfu sighed and said with a mournful tone, "Lord Wang, to be honest, my colleagues all think that I am of bad character. Even my mentor is unwilling to associate with me."

"Pfft!" Wang Wenzhou burst out laughing. He was called a mad dog by the civil and military officials. He didn't expect that there was someone else who was treated similarly and was also disliked by everyone.

Wang Wenzhou asked, "Old Chen, what exactly did you do that angered both heaven and man?"

"This..." Chen Qianfu was very conflicted, not knowing whether he should say it or not.

“Tell me about it, Lao Chen, I especially like people who are disliked!” Wang Wenzhou said seriously.

Chen Qianfu couldn't figure out why Wang Wenzhou was causing him trouble, but since the two of them were chatting, he wanted to take this opportunity to find out what Wang Wenzhou had said and how he had offended this mad dog.

Chen Qianfu said with a wry smile, "Back then, I was young and impetuous and fell in love with my wife's younger sister at first sight. However, all my relatives and friends opposed it. After much effort, I finally won her heart, but my reputation has been ruined ever since!"

"Clap clap clap!" Wang Wenzhou clapped his hands with a loud laugh and said, "Old Chen, I didn't expect you to be a hero! I admire you very much. I won't kill you. Come on, I'll treat you to a drink."

"Huh?" Chen Qianfu was completely confused. What exactly did Wang Wenzhou mean? He was all murderous aura just now, but suddenly he was all smiles.

"Xiao Wei, get Old Chen a carriage. We're going back to the manor!" Wang Wenzhou instructed.

Chen Qianfu boarded the carriage, bewildered. What was Wang Wenzhou's purpose in coming? He never imagined that Wang Wenzhou had initially intended to kill him to vent his anger. But upon hearing that Chen Qianfu was willing to ruin his reputation to marry the twin sisters, he suddenly felt a sense of camaraderie, as if he were a hero embracing another hero. Chen Qianfu had truly escaped death.

As soon as Wang Wenzhou arrived at the entrance of Zhong Yigong's mansion, Shui Yu came to greet him, carrying Jiang Xuyang.

Since Liu Rushi gave birth to Liu Xiaohua, she had no time to take care of Jiang Xuyang, so she entrusted him to Shuiyu's care. After Jiang Xuyang went to the capital, Wang Wenzhou couldn't help but feel that Shuiyu had become Jiang Xuyang's baby.

Logically, Shuiyu should be Wang Wenzhou's baby, but Wang Wenzhou hasn't eaten her because Liu Rushi isn't very willing. For some reason, Wang Wenzhou feels that after Shuiyu started taking care of Jiang Xuyang, she's becoming more and more like Jiang Xuyang's child bride.

"Holy crap!" Wang Wenzhou pointed at Jiang Xuyang and laughed, "You little brat, where are your hands?"

Shuiyu blushed. Although the young master and her husband were not related by blood, they had the same personality.

Jiang Xuyang took his hand out of Shui Yu's clothes, smiled, and said, "Father, I've come to save you!"

"You little bastard, do I need your help?" Wang Wenzhou was too lazy to pay attention to his cheap son who had taken his baby.

“Father! Your son really didn’t lie!” Jiang Xuyang said solemnly.

"Shuiyu, take Xiaoyangyang and find a secluded spot to feed him milk!" Wang Wenzhou instructed.

Shui Yu's face flushed red to her neck. She also felt she should marry Wang Wenzhou, and always addressed him as her husband. Everyone knew Wang Wenzhou was a womanizer, yet he had never slept with her. Therefore, she assumed that Wang Wenzhou didn't like her. As for Jiang Xuyang, she only treated him like a child, like a younger brother.

"Hmph!" Jiang Xuyang sneered, "You bite the hand that feeds you! Father, I have a question for you: Should I call Dong Xiaowan and Li Xiangjun 'Mother' from now on?"

What?! Wang Wenzhou's expression changed. How did that little bastard know about this?

"What exactly happened with Shuiyu?" Wang Wenzhou asked hurriedly.

Shuiyu brought Jiang Xuyang with her to deliver the message because she didn't want to see Dong Xiaowan and Li Xiangjun fighting with Liu Rushi.

Shuiyu was Liu Rushi's maid, and Liu Rushi raised her herself. Dong Xiaowan and Li Xiangjun were Liu Rushi's best friends. In Shuiyu's eyes, Liu Rushi was like a mother, and Dong Xiaowan and Li Xiangjun were like her aunts. The two women used to dote on Shuiyu. Shuiyu couldn't bear to see her family members tearing each other apart.

"Husband, Miss accompanied Sister Wang Ying back to the manor to visit her, but..." Shui Yu hadn't finished speaking when Wang Wenzhou shouted, "It's terrible! She's doomed!"

Wang Wenzhou rushed into the mansion without looking back.

"Sigh..." Shuiyu murmured to herself as she watched Wang Wenzhou's retreating figure, "My husband is good in every way, except he's too lustful!"

"Sister, sister! Xuyang isn't a womanizer! Xuyang only likes you, sister!" Jiang Xuyang said affectionately.

"Slap!" Shui Yu slapped Jiang Xuyang on the head, put him on the ground, pointed at him and said coldly, "Jiang Xuyang, listen up, from now on, you are not allowed to lay a hand on me in front of your father!"

With tears welling up in his eyes, Jiang Xuyang said aggrievedly, "Sister, sister, you don't love me anymore!"

Shuiyu shook her head, both amused and exasperated. Her little ancestor and her nemesis spoke in exactly the same tone.

"This humble servant greets Young Master and Miss Shuiyu!" Wei Yongfu cupped his hands and asked, "Where is the master?"

"What's the matter? Who is he?" Jiang Xuyang asked.

"Replying to Young Master, this is Chen Qianfu, Lord Chen. He invited him to his residence for drinks," Wei Yongfu replied.

"Haha!" Jiang Xuyang laughed loudly, "Uncle Chen, you've come at just the right time! I'll take you to see a play."

After Jiang Xuyang finished speaking, he pulled Chen Qianfu into the mansion.

"Jiang Xuyang, stop messing around!" Shui Yu quickly chased after him.

Wei Yongfu was completely bewildered and had no idea what had happened.

At this moment, Jiang Zhenghe also arrived. Jiang Zhenghe had just been ordered to arrest those white-clad women who had smeared excrement on Wang Wenzhou's face.

"Where is the master?" Jiang Zhenghe asked.

Wei Yongfu said, "Lord Jiang, you've come at the right time. Perhaps the lord is in trouble. Let's go inside and take a look."
