"Yuanyuan, are you ready?" Fu Yu's eyes were filled with determination.

Zhao Xingyuan nodded, nervously replying, "Yes."

Fu Yu had been secretly observing Jiang Zui and Qi Chen's movements for the past few days.

Because Jiang Zui and Qi Chen were always together, he didn't get a suitable opportunity.

But it just so happened that today, Qi Chen went to the Qi family to visit Yin Yue, which led to Fu Yu getting into trouble.

Jiang Zui usually had nothing to do, so he stayed home researching and making gunpowder and playing around with Qi Chen.

With Qi Chen away, all we can do now is research gunpowder.

Not long after Qi Chen left, a child ran up to him and told him that Qi Chen had forgotten something and asked him to bring it over.

Jiang Zui knew that Qi Chen was always forgetful, so he took the things to Qi's house without suspicion.

But on the way, they happened to meet Zhao Xingyuan.

The road from Jiang Zui's house to Qi's house was a narrow path, and since it was daytime, there were almost no people around.

Jiang Zui ignored Zhao Xingyuan and tried to leave.

But Zhao Xingyuan stopped her.

"Brother Jiang Zui, can we talk?" Zhao Xingyuan asked in what she thought was a gentle tone.

"Young Master Zhao, our relationship... doesn't require any discussion, does it?"

"Brother Jiang Zui, let's talk. I can assure you that after we talk, I will never bother you again."

Jiang Zuixin thought: I won't bother you anymore, it really makes you like it.

Qi Chen, that jealous guy, sometimes really can't handle him.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Zui agreed, "Okay, I can agree to talk to you, but not now. A-Chen asked me to help deliver something. We can talk later when we have time."

Zhao Xingyuan watched as Jiang Zui kept Qi Chen in mind in everything she did, and when she mentioned him, a hint of love would flash in her eyes, and her tone would be extremely gentle.

He felt extremely unhappy, because Jiang Zui's actions towards Qi Chen used to belong to him.

He didn't realize that love is mutual.

Just because Qi Chen stayed by Jiang Zui's side during his exile.

When the Jiang family's property was raided, Qi Chen was unaware that his family had also suffered such a calamity, but he still chose to follow Jiang Zui.

If it were Zhao Xingyuan, she would have abandoned Jiang Zui long ago and lived a comfortable life as the young master of the Zhao family.

Throughout the journey, although Jiang Zui took care of Qi Chen, whenever Jiang Zui found something good, he would immediately share it with Qi Chen.

Zhao Xingyuan would take Jiang Zui's care for granted, and would always eat the best food first.

Even when Jiang Zui argues with the Jiang family, Qi Chen will stand up for Jiang Zui and speak up for him, but Zhao Xingyuan will only make Jiang Zui apologize.

Between Jiang Zui and the Jiang family, Zhao Xingyuan would choose to make Jiang Zui suffer, while Qi Chen would support Jiang Zui.

Putting everything else aside, just considering this, Qi Chen didn't hesitate at all when he learned that Jiang Zui was an illegitimate son, and he married Jiang Zui directly. Based on this alone, Zhao Xingyuan can never compare to Qi Chen.

"No need, Qi Chen didn't ask you to deliver anything. It was me... I had someone call you out."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zui's eyes sharpened as he stared at Zhao Xingyuan and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Brother Jiang Zui, I like you. I want to be with you. I know I was wrong before. Please give me another chance. This time, I promise I won't abandon you," Zhao Xingyuan pleaded, her eyes slightly red.

"I'm married," Jiang Zui said calmly.

He wanted to see just how shameless Zhao Xingyuan really was.

He didn't harbor much resentment towards Zhao Xingyuan.

He expressed his understanding when the other party was unwilling to elope with the original owner.

After all, the original owner was just a son of a concubine, and his personality was too weak to resist his stepmother.

Presumably, no one would want to marry someone like that.

However, he was the one who suggested breaking up, yet now he has the nerve to bring up reconciliation.

This... he could only say that Zhao Xingyuan was too... shameless.

"Brother Jiang Zui, if you agree, I can humble myself and become your concubine." Zhao Xingyuan said excitedly, thinking that Jiang Zui had agreed.

"Being a concubine? That might not be appropriate, would it?" Jiang Zui asked, feigning hesitation.

Damn it, they're actually acting all wronged!

That ass-husband!

Did he agree? Why is he so eager to stick to me like this?

"It's alright, being a concubine is fine too. If Brother Jiang Zui doesn't want to wrong me, then Brother Qi Chen can only step back and I'll be the main husband, and he can be the concubine." Zhao Xingyuan thought that Jiang Zui wanted him to be the main husband, and her face turned red with embarrassment as she said shyly.

Good heavens, he actually wants his precious Ah Chen to be his concubine?!

Where did you get such a big face?!

With just a few words, Jiang Zui lost all desire to talk and coldly said, "Zhao Xingyuan, you've probably misunderstood."

"I didn't promise you anything. I won't take you, not even as a concubine. You should know that I once said I would only marry one person in my life."

The last sentence was originally meant for Zhao Xingyuan, but Jiang Zui is now using it to attack Zhao Xingyuan.

Zhao Xingyuan stepped back, looking at Jiang Zui with a heartbroken and pitiful expression, as if Jiang Zui had done something terribly wrong to her.

Suddenly, he remembered Fu Yu's words, tore open his clothes, deliberately messed up his hair, and threatened, "Brother Jiang Zui, are you going to agree or not? If you still refuse to marry me, I'll take matters into my own hands."

In the Great Xia Dynasty, bullying innocent young men and women is a crime punishable by imprisonment, ranging from having one's hands or feet severed to being beheaded.

Jiang Zui scoffed and said, "Shouldn't you be looking for Jiang Zhou? Zhao Xingyuan, do you want me to be the sucker?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Xingyuan's eyes, and she asked in confusion, "How...how did you know?"

"How do you know that's none of my business?"

Actually, the system told him this out of boredom.

He was even a little surprised at the time that Jiang Zhou, who cared so much for Zhao Xingyuan, would do such a thing.

"Since Brother Jiang Zui already knows, I beg you, please marry me, please save me." Zhao Xingyuan pleaded desperately, but Jiang Zui remained unmoved. "Zhao Xingyuan, go find whoever did it."

I have other matters to attend to, so I must leave now.

After saying that, Jiang Zui turned and left.

Seeing Jiang Zui leave, Zhao Xingyuan didn't hesitate and immediately shouted, "Help! Help! Someone help me!"

As he spoke, he walked toward Jiang Zui, trying to get closer to him.

A moment later, Fu Yu rushed out, angrily cursing Jiang Zui for bullying his son.

Zhao Xingyuan's presence attracted many women and boys.

As for the absence of men, it's because the men were all at work during the day.

When everyone saw Fu Yu sitting on the ground with Zhao Xingyuan in his arms, both of them with tear stains on their faces, and Zhao Xingyuan's clothes were disheveled and she looked aggrieved, everyone felt concerned.

Jiang Zui stood straight to the side, showing no remorse whatsoever, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

Those present began to curse and swear at Jiang Zui.

"Jiang Zui, how dare you force Xing Yuan! You wait, I'm going to report this to the authorities!" Fu Yu said viciously.

"Oh dear, let's not do that. Things have already come to this. Jiang Zui, why don't you take your uncle's advice and marry Zhao Xingluan?"

"How could a perfectly respectable young master like Zhao become a concubine?"
