Rebellious Contract Beast

Judging from the appearance of the carriage, the owner of the carriage should be a woman. Zhu Yanzheng thought about it and realized that even Zhu Shilan, Zhu Birong and other daughters of the Zhu family who were domineering and arrogant did not have such a carriage.

Not to mention the Zhu family, he had never seen any of the daughters of the other three major families in the city traveling in such a carriage.

It is very likely that they are from a wealthy family outside Jiangzhou City. Considering that Wan Gaoyue came to Cuiqing Waterside Pavilion inexplicably, they are connected together...

Zhu Yanzheng narrowed his eyes slightly as he tried to figure out something. At this moment, a servant who ran to the front of the carriage to observe said, "Master, it looks like this is the carriage from the Wan family."

"Well, I see."

It seems that someone from Wan Gaoyue's family has come, but no one knows who it is. Zhu Yanzheng knows too little about the Wan family and has never cared about it before, so he has no idea who the person from the Wan family is.

But he didn't have time to think about these things. He walked back to the door, raised his hand and knocked on it.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!
"Is there anyone inside?"

"Who is outside?"

"I'm Zhu Yanzheng. I heard that my mother came here, and I want to see her."

Hearing that it was Zhu Yanzheng, the person behind the door was silent for a moment, and then quickly replied, "Third Young Master, please wait a moment. I will go over and inform the Madam."

"Go quickly."

There was a sound of jogging from behind the door. It was obvious that the guard behind the door was going to report the news to Wan Gaoyue.

……

After waiting for a while, the voice of the guard behind the door sounded, and he said to Zhu Yanzheng: "Third Young Master, please go back. Madam doesn't want to see guests today."

"I have something important to discuss with my mother."

"Madam is not seeing guests, please don't make things difficult for us, Third Young Master."

"Open the door."

"Madam has already said that she doesn't want to see guests, Third Young Master, please go back."

"Open the door!"

Seeing that the guard behind the door did not obey his orders, Zhu Yanzheng's tone suddenly became impatient, with a hint of murderous intent in it.

A group of lowly servants dared to disobey me, they are simply seeking death!

But the people behind the door were Wan Gaoyue's men. Not only were they not afraid of Zhu Yanzheng's intimidation, but they also became aggressive.

"Master, Madam knows what you want to see her for, but she just doesn't want to see you. We are talking to you nicely because you are the third young master of the Zhu family. If you don't appreciate it, don't blame us brothers for being rude."

The guard behind the door said coldly, with a murderous tone in his voice.

Zhu Yanzheng was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party would dare to speak to him like that. He was about to break in directly, but when he was about to do so, the servant next to him pulled him back in time and shook his head at him.

"Master, you can't do that. Wan is your mistress anyway..."

"Get out of here!" He pushed the servant away with force. Fortunately, Zhu Yanzheng did not completely lose his mind. After a cold snort, he quickly calmed down.

After thinking for a moment, he whispered three words: "Let's go."

"Yes!"

Zhu Yanzheng took his people away like this, without doing anything rash. However, on the way back, he clenched his back teeth and his face was full of indignation.

Originally, the tit-for-tat between Wan Gaoyue and Tsurumi Yanqiu had nothing to do with him, but because of Wan Gaoyue's instructions, Tsurumi Yanqiu now only wanted to kill him!
You know, now almost half of the people in the Zhu Mansion are on He Jian Yanqiu's side. It can be said that from now on, he is not safe at all in the Zhu Mansion, and he may be assassinated by Zhu family's followers at any time!

She was clearly helping Wan Gaoyue to seize the position of the mistress of the Zhu family, even though she failed. Not to mention that she was helping me, but at least she helped to save me because I called her mother.

But she didn't care and tried her best to distance herself from him, leaving him to fend for himself!
"What a heartless symbol!"

He cursed inwardly, his face becoming increasingly gloomy, but he was helpless.

After cursing, he looked around vigilantly. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the eyes of the people passing by looked at him with something strange.

He couldn't help but start to think too much, and then he felt creepy.

"Go faster."

To him, the Zhu Mansion was becoming more and more like the underworld, and every little ghost in it was looking for an opportunity to take his life.

Only when I return to my own house do I feel a little safe.

"Yes, Master."

The guards around him also looked around, remained vigilant, and surrounded Zhu Yanzheng as they walked quickly away.

After Zhu Yanzheng and others left, the two guards behind the Cuiqing Waterside Gate looked at each other, one of them nodded, and immediately trotted towards the hall.

In the hall, the conversation between Wan Gaoyue and a young girl could be heard from time to time.

"Aunt, with such a big house, I wonder if my uncle will be unhappy about it."

"What's the big deal? I am your aunt, after all, half the mistress of the Zhu Mansion. Who will live in this house is just a matter of a word from me. Xuanxuan, you can live here peacefully for the time being. There is no hurry to leave, but you have to talk to me more. I am married to the Zhu Mansion, alone, and I have to fight with those concubines and the Hejian family every day. Alas, it is really tiring. It's a good thing that you are here, Xuanxuan, so I can pour out my troubles to you. Do you mind?"

"Aunt, what are you talking about? How could that be? Aunt, tell me, have you been wronged in the Zhu Mansion? Don't worry, aunt, when Xuanxuan returns, I will tell grandpa about your story and let grandpa fight for you!"

Wan Xuanxuan heard the grievance in Wan Gaoyue's tone, and a fire suddenly rose in her heart, and she said angrily.

Wan Gaoyue was about to speak, but at this moment a guard who had been guarding outside the gate walked in and stopped beside Wan Gaoyue.

"lady."

"If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly."

The guard glanced at Wan Xuanxuan, and seeing that Wan Gaoyue did not chase her away, he did not hide anything and told her everything that had just happened.

"Young Master Zhu came just now and said he wanted to see his wife, but the two of us blocked the door and in the end Young Master Zhu couldn't come in." "Then what?" Wan Gaoyue raised his eyebrows and asked again.

"Young Master Zhu has left now, but Madam, Young Master Zhu has done something so outrageous that it will inevitably implicate us, otherwise..."

When he said this, a cold light flashed in the guard's eyes.

Wan Gaoyue knew what he meant, and her eyes suddenly turned cold, flashing with a hint of chilliness.

Zhu Yanzheng intended to murder the mistress of the Zhu family. If this matter were to get out, it would not be difficult to trace it back to her, so it would be a lie to say that she was not afraid.

After the failed attempt to murder He Jian Yanqiu, Zhu Yanzheng did not come to find him immediately. Wan Gaoyue knew very well that it was because he was on guard against him, and he was extremely guarded. He would not come to him for help unless it was absolutely necessary.

And today he suddenly came, what does this mean?
This means that he has no other options and can only come to me to solve the problem.

But things have come to this point. He Jianyanqiu is determined to kill Zhu Yanzheng. As long as he stays in the Zhu Mansion, it is only a matter of time before he is killed. Wan Gaoyue is not a fool. How could he be involved with Zhu Yanzheng at this time?

However, it was indeed his instruction that Zhu Yanzheng hired someone to murder He Jian Yanqiu. If Zhu Yanzheng became desperate, there was no reason why he would not sell himself out.

Yes, Wan Gaoyue has the support of the entire Wan family, but who says that the Zhu family needs to look at the Wan family’s face?

And there is also her mortal enemy, Tsurumi Yanqiu. When she sees the chance, she will only do one thing, and that is to take your life while you are sick!

Even if she could get away with the help of the Wan family in the end, her reputation would be ruined. She had married into the Zhu family and was a member of the Zhu family. How could she use the power of her mother's family to put pressure on her husband's family?

What would you call this if it gets out?
In serious cases, it is considered as not observing the moral virtues of a woman!
Wan Gaoyue is thin-skinned and can't stand being poked in the back like this.

She didn't want to have anything to do with the robbery of the Ru Ruixuan branch, nor did she want this matter to be used by He Jian Yanqiu to make a fuss, so Zhu Yanzheng had to be eliminated, and it had to be done cleanly!

She opened her mouth and glanced at Wan Xuanxuan opposite her. In the end, she couldn't say the words to get rid of Zhu Yanzheng directly. She just winked at the guard who came in.

The other party seemed to understand something and showed a look of realization.

Finally, Wan Gaoyue waved her hand and said, "Go out. My niece is visiting me today. Let's not talk about these things anymore, so as not to spoil the fun."

"Yes, ma'am." The guard nodded, said nothing, turned around and left the hall, returning to his post guarding the gate.

But as soon as he left, Wan Xuanxuan frowned and asked, "Aunt, who is this Zhu Yanzheng, and why did he come to see you?"

"This..." Hearing this, Wan Gaoyue deliberately showed a bit of embarrassment on her face, but it didn't last long. Her expression turned into helplessness, and she said in a somewhat compromising tone: "Alas, Xuanxuan, I know your temper very well. If I don't tell you, you might break the casserole and ask until you get to the bottom of it. Well, I'll just tell you."

"Hehe, the person who knows me best in this world is none other than you, my aunt. Just tell me, if there's anything I can do to help you, Xuanxuan will definitely do it without hesitation!"

"Alas, the story begins with a man named Zhu Yantao. This kid is not ambitious. He just eats, drinks and plays all day long. He has no knowledge or skills. If he had lived like this for the rest of his life, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, he has enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, which is much better than those ordinary people out there. But he fell in love with someone he shouldn't have liked..."

"Who does Zhu Yantao like?" Wan Xuanxuan asked curiously.

"That girl named Tsurumi Hatsuun, the one I told you about before."

"She? The niece from Tsurumi's family. Humph, then I think Zhu Yantao is really blind."

"Yes, your aunt wanted to persuade Zhu Yantao to give up this idea, but I couldn't persuade him... I was too soft-hearted and couldn't harden myself. Although I am not Zhu Yantao's biological mother, he calls me mother, so I should fulfill some motherly responsibilities. I couldn't bear to break his feelings, so I called He Jian Chuyun to meet Zhu Yanzheng. I originally wanted to bring the two together, but the result was unexpected..."

Wan Gaoyue talked incessantly, telling the story of the feud between the brothers Zhu Yantao and Zhu Yanzheng and He Jianchuyun.

Seven points of what she said were true, and the other three points were exaggerated. She directly described Tsurumi Hatsuun as a scumbag and vixen who specialized in defrauding men of their money and then dumping them away afterwards.

When she was talking excitedly, she took the opportunity to talk about Tsurumi Hatsuyun's past, but this part was basically all made up by her, and none of it was true. It was nothing more than saying that when Tsurumi Hatsuyun first came to the Zhu Mansion, she relied on the fact that she was the eldest daughter of the Tsurumi family in Hengzhou and was proud of her noble status, so she bullied her repeatedly and opposed her everywhere.

In this fabricated story, Wan Gaoyue portrayed himself as a poor and honest man who only knew how to accept everything and dared not resist.

Anyway, it was a smear campaign, making Tsurumi Hatsuyun's image extremely bad in other people's minds.

As expected, after listening to Wan Gaoyue's story, Wan Xuanxuan was so angry that she almost exploded. Her chest heaved violently and she threw the cup on the table heavily to the ground with a bang.

"This He Jian Chu Yun is too much! He actually bullied you like this!"

"Xuanxuan, don't get excited."

"No! I can't stand this tone, aunt, no matter what, you are the wife that Zhu Jianqing married into the Zhu Mansion. Although you are not the mistress, you should not be inferior to He Jianyanqiu! He Jianchuyun is just a bastard who came from outside to seek refuge with relatives. How dare she..."

"Xuanxuan!"

"Aunt, I must avenge you! If you dare to bully my Wan family, I will skin He Jian Chuyun alive and tear out his bones!"

Having said that, Wan Xuanxuan stood up and walked quickly towards the front yard with the guards beside her.

"Xuanxuan, don't mess around. Actually, your aunt hasn't suffered any injustice. Come back soon."

Wan Gaoyue pretended to stop her, but it was all pretense. How could he really stop Wan Xuanxuan?

Seeing her kick open the gate of Cuiqing Waterside Pavilion with great momentum and get on the carriage to drive towards Mingyan Courtyard, Wan Gaoyue's face outside the hall quickly regained its composure, waved to the people beside him, and said, "Forget it, there's no way to stop her, let her go."

"Yes."

No one below said anything and they quickly returned to their original positions.

Wan Gaoyue also sat back at the table, took a sip of warm tea slowly, and smiled as if he was thinking of something.

Poor Wan Xuanxuan, because she was too naive, she was used as a pawn by her aunt.

She didn't know that her beloved aunt had no feelings for her at all, and just treated her as a knife that could be picked up and put down at any time.

Wan Gaoyue has lived in the family compound for decades. Her heart is colder than a knife and she is extremely scheming. She knows Wan Xuanxuan very well. She is the arrogant and overbearing eldest daughter. In Yanzhu City, she has always been the one bullying others. No one has ever acted like a spoiled child in front of her. She also has an outgoing personality, otherwise she would not have that carriage decorated with gold and jewels.

She really wanted to see what Wan Xuanxuan would do to He Jian Chu Yun?
Or, what did He Jian Chu Yun do to Wan Xuan Xuan?
Either way, it's good for her.

"Hehehehe..."
