Jiang Yanwan paced back and forth in the room holding the child, coaxing the child to sleep.

There is an old tree outside the window, blocking the scorching sunlight.

"bump!"

The door was suddenly slammed open and several people rushed into the room.

Without waiting for Jiang Yanwan to react, she was slapped hard in the face.

"Bitch! How dare you seduce King Jin!"

Jiang Yanwan was hit so hard that her head was tilted away. She turned back with difficulty to look at the person in front of her.

It’s Jiang Shihua.

She was looking down upon herself, with the corners of her mouth raised in disdain.

Her cheeks were slightly red and swollen. Jiang Yanwan raised her hand and stroked them gently, with a sarcastic smile on her lips.

"I thought that after becoming a legitimate daughter, my sister would change those rustic and vulgar behaviors. I guess it's because the maid in the mansion didn't teach her well enough. Sister, you must study hard, otherwise when you enter the Prince of Jin's mansion in the future, you won't be the only one who will lose face."

To hit the snake is to hit it at its most vulnerable part. Jiang Shihua is most sensitive about her identity and is ashamed to talk about it.

Hearing this, she showed anger on her face, and then a sneer appeared on her face.

"No matter how eloquent she is, she is just a fake who has taken over the magpie's nest. Come here! If she dares to bump into me, break her legs for me!"

Several big men approached with fierce eyes and wooden sticks in their hands.

Jiang Yanwan's heart sank, and she said sternly, "If you are not afraid of becoming an enemy of the Imperial City Division, you can give it a try!"

As expected, the strong men stopped and looked at Jiang Shihua in surprise and suspicion.

The Imperial City is the Temple of Hell. Beneath the peaceful building lies blood and terror. Anyone who enters will never be able to turn back.

"I haven't heard that the Imperial City Bureau would take care of the untouchables who give birth to children out of wedlock." Jiang Shihua frowned.

"Sister is just a village woman, it's normal that I don't know what's going on in the capital. If you hurt me in the slightest, I'm afraid Governor Wu will not let you off easily."

Jiang Yanwan sneered and pulled the small quilt tighter.

The child is his, and to be exact, she is also his.

He shouldn't be angry if I use his name to bully others, right?

The breeze blew and the leaves rustled.

Wu Junyao, who was hiding behind the tree, felt his heart tremble slightly and some strange thoughts came to his mind.

All the women in the capital were ashamed to have anything to do with him, so how could she have no scruples?

"What a joke! Would Governor Wu be interested in an unclean person like you?"

Jiang Shihua glanced at her sideways, with a look of contempt on her lips.

"If you don't believe me, you can try it. Whatever you do to me today, I will repay you tenfold tomorrow."

"Have you heard of Lingchi? First, they cut your chest with a knife, making you wail in pain, and then they slowly cut down, one cut at a time, until your flesh and blood are blurred..."

The woman had a calm face and spoke in a normal tone, as if she was asking "what are we having for dinner tonight".

Hearing this, Jiang Shihua's eyes were tainted with a hint of fear, and she couldn't help but take a half step back.

But when she saw the indifferent smile on Jiang Yanwan's face, she suddenly became furious.

How dare you scare her?!

"What nonsense! I want to see whether you are stubborn with words or with sticks. Why don't you take action?"

The servants immediately understood what was going on and pounced on Jiang Yanwan like vicious dogs.

Jiang Yanwan picked up the teacup from the table and looked ahead with squinted eyes.

But the expected pain did not come, instead a few screams were heard.

Then there were several loud "bang" and "bang" sounds of something falling to the ground.

When she looked closely, she saw Wu Junyao standing in front of her and the servants fell to the ground wailing.

He said nothing, but his majesty made people nervous.

Everyone felt numb all over and dared not move, as if they were possessed by someone.

Seeing his tall and majestic back, Jiang Yanwan's heart settled down.

Although he was a man that everyone avoided, he gave her endless sense of security.

Seeing him turn around and help Jiang Yanwan up, Jiang Shihua sneered, "Young Master, are you tired of eating delicacies from land and sea, and want to eat pig bran for novelty? No wonder he fell in love with such a lowly woman who doesn't keep her husband's chastity."
