Chu Heng did not stay in Feiyuan Pavilion for long. After the court was dismissed, he took some time to visit the Prime Minister's Residence and then went to the Shenji Camp to report to work.

After seeing Chu Heng off, Cheng Jiuyuan went out with Mu Jin and Song Lan.

When she arrived at Pei's house, she noticed someone hiding in the dark. Knowing that it was someone from the Nine Heavens Sword Sect, she felt relieved.

At the beginning, she invited people from Jiutian Sword Sect to guard against Cheng Changchuan. Now that Cheng Changchuan has fallen flat on his face, in order to prevent him from making a final struggle, she still has to invite people from Jiutian Sword Sect. She can afford the money.

Pei Jin is leaving for Gusu today, and Cheng Jiuyuan is here to see him off.

Hibiscus and Indigo moved the things out of the carriage and put them into Pei Jin's carriage.

"Third cousin, this is what I prepared for my two masters. When you return to Gusu, please give it to them for me."

"Okay, take care cousin, I'm leaving now."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded.

Pei Jin bowed to them and said, "Dad, big brother, second brother, I'm leaving now."

"Take care of yourself and your family, and write to us if you have any problems."

"I see. It's cold. Please go inside."

Pei Jin bowed, got on the carriage, and opened the curtain: "Come in quickly!"

"Gee!" The coachman whipped the horse-drawn carriage and it sped away.

After seeing Pei Jin off, Cheng Jiuyuan didn't stay in Pei's house for long and returned to the prime minister's residence.

As soon as she entered the door, the maid from Feiyuan Pavilion rushed over and said, "Miss, please go to Qiushui Garden and save Sister Chunxing!"

Cheng Jiuyuan's face darkened, and he immediately turned around and walked quickly towards Qiu Shui Garden.

"What's going on? Didn't I say that no one can let her go to Qiushui Garden without my order? Does Aunt Zhou dare to come to my yard to arrest people?"

"Two quarters of an hour ago, I went with Sister Chunxing to get charcoal. On the way, I met Cuiwei and Cuiluo from Aunt Zhou's side. They said that Sister Chunxing was good at drawing flower patterns, so they asked her to teach them."

"They were almost carrying Sister Chun Xing, one on each side. I saw that the situation was not good, so I went to the main courtyard to look for Madam, but I didn't know that Madam had returned to the Lin family today. I was about to go out to look for the girl, but fortunately she came back in time."

As they were talking, the group had already arrived outside Qiu Shui Garden. They could only hear faint groans of pain and Zhou's triumphant curses coming from inside.

"You ungrateful little bitch, have you forgotten who was so kind to bring you into the mansion and give you a bite to eat?"

"Look, everyone. This is what will happen if you dare to betray me!"

"Beat him up for stealing things and come to my Qiushui Garden. After I beat him up, sell him to the cheapest brothel!"

Cheng Jiuyuan kicked open the gate and rushed in with his men.

I saw Zhou sitting on a chair under the eaves, holding a hot water bottle and laughing wildly.

Chun Xing was beaten by a group of people in the yard. Her cheeks were swollen and the corners of her mouth were full of blood. Her coat was stripped off and thrown on the ground. She was only wearing a thin undershirt. The woman wanted to strip off the remaining clothes.

"You're going to sell it to the building anyway, so I'll strip you naked first."

Cheng Jiuyuan moved her toes, and the stones on the ground hit the nanny directly.

"what!!!"

"boom!"

The old lady screamed and was blown away by a huge force, falling at Zhou's feet. Zhou was so scared that she jumped up from the chair and her face changed drastically.

"Ah!! My eyes! My eyes!" The old woman rolled on the ground and wailed, covering her face, blood constantly flowing out from between her fingers.

Seeing Cheng Jiuyuan appear like a demon, the servants of Qiu Shuiyuan left Chun Xing and ran back to Zhou.

Chun Xing curled up on the ground. The men stopped, but her expression was still painful.

Mu Jin and several maids hurried forward to help her put on her clothes. Cheng Jiuyuan untied his cloak and covered Chun Xing with it with a wave of his hand.

Chun Xing only felt warmth on her body and looked up.

She saw the girl standing in front of her, with the sunlight shining on her, just like a fairy descending from the sky, making her feel extremely at ease.

A girl like this is worth following until death.

Cheng Jiuyuan's eyes fell on Zhou, cold and bloodthirsty.

"Take Chun Xing back first."

Zhou said quickly, "This slut stole something, she can't be forgiven easily."

"Your servant, I don't have..." Chun Xing found it so difficult to say these words.

"No? There are witnesses and evidences, and you still dare to quibble?" Zhou was holding a golden hairpin in her hand, and her tone was aggressive.

"Really? Let me see." Cheng Jiuyuan stepped forward and easily took the hairpin.

She scraped it lightly, and the hairpin revealed its silver-white color.

Cheng Jiuyuan sneered: "Gold wrapped in silver?"

Song Lan supported Chun Xing and said coldly, "My daughter gave us pure gold jewelry as a reward. Is it necessary for Chun Xing to come and steal a gold-plated silver hairpin?"

Zhou gritted her teeth.

She was already short of money, so she replaced most of her jewelry with gold-plated ones.

Today, she finally waited for Cheng Jiuyuan and Lin to leave the house, and she wanted to let out a sigh of relief, but she didn't expect Cheng Jiuyuan to come back so soon.

"It's common for servants to be short-sighted. No matter how much she is given, she will be greedy when she sees something good..."

Cheng Jiuyuan raised the hairpin and pointed it at the servant beside Zhou: "Did you see her stealing it?"

The girl was so frightened by her eyes that she shook her head repeatedly.

"still you?"

"Slave, slave..."

This second girl was too scary. She was afraid that if she said something wrong, her eyes would be blinded by the hairpin.

The old lady was still wailing on the ground, but no one paid any attention to her.

“That means no one saw it.”

She held the hairpin in front of her eyes and said, "Although Chun Xing is only a second-class maid in my Feiyuan Pavilion, she still doesn't like this kind of stuff!"

After saying that, she picked up the hairpin and walked towards Zhou.

When Zhou saw her crazy look, she felt a little scared for some reason and took two steps back.

"Second, second girl..."

Cheng Jiuyuan curled her lips into a smile, raised her hand, and gently inserted the hairpin into Zhou's hair.

"Auntie, please wear it properly, don't blame my girl if it falls off."

Zhou knew that she couldn't deal with that little bitch Chun Xing today, but the poison was enough for the little bitch to bear.

After thinking about it, Zhou smiled and said, "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Maybe Chun Xing happened to pick up the hairpin."

She looked at the wailing maid on the ground: "But Second Miss, you've taken away one of the old maid's eyes for such a small misunderstanding. If this gets out..."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked puzzled: "When did Auntie see that I was the one who asked for Madam's eye?"

Zhou's suspicious gaze shifted between Cheng Jiuyuan, Mu Jin and the others.

She didn't see who attacked. If it wasn't Cheng Jiuyuan, it must be the maid behind Cheng Jiuyuan.

"Since Auntie said this was a misunderstanding, I don't want this kind of misunderstanding to happen again. If this kind of misunderstanding happens again, I don't know who will go blind or lose an arm or leg next time."

Her eyes swept across Zhou's face and body, and Zhou felt that her gaze was like a real knife.

After saying that, Cheng Jiuyuan turned around and said, "Let's go."

The servants of Qiu Shui Garden looked at the maids of Fei Yuan Pavilion with fear and envy.

Although they were both servants, the things the Second Young Lady gave to others were better than what Aunt Zhou wore herself.

Moreover, the second young lady made a big fuss over a second-class maid, while Aunt Zhou would only beat or scold them.

"Ouch! Ouch! My eyes!"

Zhou glared at the maid on the ground and said impatiently, "Why don't you go find the court doctor? And... Hey? Ouch!"

Before she could finish her words, she felt waves of severe pain in her head, as if someone was twisting her brain with a knife, causing her to be unable to stand steadily due to the pain.

"Aunt! What's wrong with you?" The servants rushed forward to support her, and Qiu Shui Garden suddenly became a mess.
