Marquis Zhongyi got drunk and went mad in the middle of the night, shouting that he wanted a divorce.

Jiang Chengzhong couldn't stop him at all. No matter how he tried to persuade him, he only added fuel to the fire.

Seeing his own father looking like he was going to poke the sky to pieces, Jiang Chengzhong felt extremely regretful. He really wanted to slap himself twice. Just now, Marquis Zhongyi accused Li Chunlan of talking nonsense while drunk. Besides, he could just stop him, but he had to challenge him.

This not only made the old father very angry, but also felt ashamed. The dignity of being the head of the family was severely hit, and he was about to throw a tantrum like a bull.

"Young Master, someone from Shoukang Garden came to ask questions. What's the commotion about?" The servant outside ran in and reported the matter urgently.

When Jiang Chengzhong heard this, he immediately became nervous. Such a loud noise even woke up Cen who was sleeping.

"You go and report back. It's nothing serious. The Marquis just drank too much and talked about the war. Some of his old comrades-in-arms were upset and crying!" He immediately took over the conversation.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he aroused strong dissatisfaction from Marquis Zhongyi.

"Bullshit, when will I cry? A real man sheds blood, not tears!"

"Go and tell her to get dressed quickly. I want to divorce her and move out of the mansion tonight. Let's see what she can do—"

Taking advantage of the alcohol, Marquis Zhongyi started talking nonsense again, but before he could finish his words, Jiang Chengzhong covered his mouth.

“Wuwuwu—Wuwuwu—” Marquis Zhongyi struggled desperately.

Although he was old and could not match Jiang Chengzhong's youth and strength, the drunkard was very strong and almost broke free.

Jiang Chengzhong used all his strength to control him while sending a servant to pass on a message: "Do as I say. Make sure to keep the people calm. Not a single word of what the Marquis said can reach Shoukang Garden, otherwise I will peel off your skin!"

"Yes, I understand!" The servant received the order and ran away.

After waiting for a while, Jiang Chengzhong released his strength, and was about to hit Marquis Zhongyi the moment he broke free.

"You rebellious son, you want to smother me to death! I will beat you to death!"

The father and son started fighting on the spot. Jiang Chengzhong felt relieved when he saw his father punching him while drunk. Although the fist hit him in the face on purpose every time, at least he didn't ask for a divorce.

He would rather be beaten than have his parents divorce.

But this relief did not last long, and Marquis Zhongyi reacted again. He suddenly stopped and slapped his cheeks, making a popping sound.

"You've led me astray. Why should I bother with you? I still have to find your mother and divorce her. That's the serious matter!" He said as he walked out. No matter how much Jiang Chengzhong shouted at him, he couldn't change his mind. It was obvious that he was determined.

Jiang Chengzhong's scalp tingled again. If he really allowed him to go crazy while drunk and make Cen upset, Cen would definitely be angry and resentful. Not only would she not give in or compromise, she would not even consider that he was talking drunk. She would just confront him head-on and be determined to divorce him that very night.

Once the divorce papers are written and both parties have signed their names, there is really no turning back.

We can't let him go!

Jiang Chengzhong thought about this and chased after him, raising his hand and hitting his father on the back of the neck.

He used all his strength and didn't hold back at all.

After all, Marquis Zhongyi has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his skin is thick and tough. He was just afraid that if his strength was not enough, it would not be effective.

Fortunately, this move was quick, accurate and ruthless, and successfully knocked the drunken Marquis Zhongyi unconscious, preventing a divorce drama in the middle of the night.

Although my father was unconscious on the ground, his expression was still cursing, as if I could hear the dirty words coming out of his mouth.

Jiang Chengzhong couldn't help but smile bitterly. If Marquis Zhongyi woke up tomorrow, he would probably scold him for being unfilial again.

But he certainly couldn't admit that drunkards have bad memories.

The next day, a spacious carriage slowly stopped in front of the Marquis of Loyalty's mansion, and a thin young man jumped out of it. He turned around, lifted the curtain, and helped a pretty girl get off.

"Jinyu, our eldest brother asked us to come back quickly. Mother must have been wronged. Let's go to Shoukang Palace to check on her." The thin young man suggested.

But the girl refused and told her servants not to go to Shoukang Garden to pass the message.

"Young man, there's no rush for mom. I want to go meet my third sister-in-law first. What ability does she have that can make mom and dad behave abnormally every time they leave her courtyard?" The girl frowned, with a somewhat dissatisfied expression on her face.

The young man clapped his hands suddenly, a playful smile on his face.

"Yes, I forgot. I had prepared a gift for the third sister-in-law. Time is short and I must meet her first, otherwise the gift will be too expensive." When he said this, there was a glimmer of cunning and sinisterness in his eyes.

The girl pursed her lips and said hesitantly, "What kind of gift? It's not the thing you found yesterday, is it?"

"Yes, it's bright red, so pretty!"

"Can you please not be so disgusting? If you can't control it well, be careful that thing might backfire." The girl disagreed.

"If anything goes wrong, I will take full responsibility. You don't have to worry about it, Sister Yu." The young man didn't listen to the advice at all.

It was a rare sunny day. In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, casting a golden glow on everything.

Xu Wanying had someone move the tables and chairs out so she could lean on them to bask in the sun.

I haven't been out of the house for many days, so today I took advantage of the good weather and sunbathed.

The warm sunlight shone on her body, making her feel warm all over. She covered her face with a round fan and closed her eyes to take a nap.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise coming from the wall, and Cuizhu who was standing beside him immediately asked vigilantly.

"who?"

But before she could finish her words, a hand appeared from behind the wall and threw something towards her with force.

The color of that thing was extremely bright, bright red. After it fell to the ground, it suddenly began to wriggle and swam towards them.

"what?"

"Ah, there's a snake!"

"Madam San, run, there's a snake!"

The incident happened suddenly and the maids were stunned for a moment before they reacted.

The red thing was none other than a snake more than one meter long, with red and black stripes on its body, which was very visually impactful.

Especially at this moment, it was thrown from the top of the wall and was obviously hurt. It was in a state of anger, with its head held high, in a completely attacking state. It moved at a very fast speed and headed straight towards them, obviously seeking revenge.

Cuizhu and Hongmei both rushed over, one of them picked up Xu Wanying and dragged her to the side.

Xu Wanying was about to fall asleep, but was suddenly awakened by these two shouts. When she heard the sound of a snake, all her sleepiness disappeared and the hairs on her body stood up.

In a panic, the fan in her hand slipped to the ground and she didn't bother to pick it up. At the same time, she looked at the snake.

My goodness, the snake was only three meters away from her, and it was moving very fast. The way it held its head high gave her goose bumps all over her body.

In addition, the snake's skin was so brightly colored that it looked as if it was highly poisonous. Coming face to face with the cold-blooded animal at such a close distance, and its constantly retracting and retracting tongue, all caused her tremendous psychological trauma.
