Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi

The crowd began to stir, they all looked at Zhou Xinxu in fascination, some even seemed to be having hallucinations, raising their arms towards the void, outlining the beautiful woman's face.

The men swarmed to the steps of Lingxiao Tower, trying every possible means to climb up. Some of the wealthy ones saw the guards blocking them tightly, and threw gold ingots at them one after another, hoping to open up a golden road.

The order gradually became chaotic, and in Helian Qing's eyes, it was as if he saw the "grand scene" of the spring banquet many years ago.

Mu Yao tightened her fingers around the veil, determined to cover it up no matter what.

Tang Zhongjun mixed in the crowd and looked at Helian Yun, paying close attention to their movements. Helian Yun's injuries had not yet fully recovered. If he used his internal strength at this time, it might involve old injuries. No matter what, he must not let the young lady get into trouble today.

Zhou Xinxu calmly looked down at the madness downstairs, as if he had long been accustomed to this kind of scene where everyone was watching the moon.

She just raised her jade-like index finger and placed it on her lips and said "hush" softly, and the ferocious crowd quieted down as if they had received divine instructions.

"It's your turn now." Zhou Xinxu raised his fair chin and stared at Mu Yao and Helian Qing proudly.

"We didn't agree to compete with you." Mu Yao said slowly.

"How dare you lie to me!" Zhou Xinxu's face was gloomy and her pretty face was covered with frost.

Mu Yao disagreed: "Think about it carefully, did we agree to let you show your face? You are still in your prime, you won't forget it so quickly, right?"

Zhou Xinxu's face tightened. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that they did not give a direct reply. He could not help but get angry: "How dare you two lie to me? It's okay if we don't compete, he——stay." Before he finished speaking, his white finger had clearly pointed at Helian Yun.

The pleasant laughter rose in the night sky, like the sound of a mountain stream. Mu Yao laughed so hard that her body trembled. This was definitely the funniest joke she had ever heard.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhou Xinxu asked unhappily.

Mu Yao ignored her and instead hugged Helian Yun's strong waist and pinched him hard.

Haha, I guess he has fed himself too many improved Qi Gathering Pills and other newly-refined tonic medicines. Look at this handsome little face, he looks as young as Xu Qingcheng.

Beauty is a disaster, and this can be seen vividly in men.

Helian Yun groaned in pain, his wife's jealousy made his heart surge with indescribable joy.

"Husband, that woman said that only if you stay here, Youyou and I can leave. Do you want to make a sacrifice?" Mu Yao pressed against his broad chest, and her soft and slender jade fingers gently teased a strand of black hair hanging down from his forehead.

The soft touch made Helian Yun so grateful that he almost couldn't keep his composure in public. He had to tighten his grip on her waist, leaned close to her ear and whispered hoarsely, "Be good, stop making trouble."

After three breaths, a chilling light flashed in his eyes. He locked onto Zhou Xinxu and said sternly, "How dare you covet this young master? I'm afraid your face is bigger than a silver plate, thicker than tree bark, and you are shameless and lustful by nature."

The scene was suffocating for a while.

The crowded streets seemed to isolate all the noise; even the crackling sound of the candlelight could be heard clearly.

Mu Yao buried her face in Helian Yun's arms and swallowed silently. My goodness, I didn't expect my husband to be so cruel when scolding people. Fortunately, there was a road between them, otherwise I couldn't guarantee that the woman would not come to kill me.

Zhou Xinxu was unmarried and was the only daughter of Zhou Zhenfang, the magistrate of Wutai County. She had been raised with a lot of money since she was a child, so she couldn't stand the accusation Helian Yun put on her, especially in front of everyone. She broke down and cried uncontrollably.

Li Mingzhu and the others were stunned for a long time before they came to their senses. They all widened their eyes in disbelief, trying to find a hole in Helian Yun.

In Dayun, there are so many handsome men that most women are overwhelmed when choosing a husband, not to mention a beauty like Zhou Xinxu. In addition, her status is the only one in Wutai County, so what kind of man can she not have? Over time, she has gradually come to believe that all the handsome men in the world should belong to her, Zhou Xinxu. Among the four beauties in Wutai County, except for Li Mingzhu, she has not snatched the men of the other two, and she has dug the corners of each one. For men like Helian Yun who regard Zhou Xinxu as dust, thanks to him, they have opened their eyes today.

"Come on, take down all three of them."

Zhou Xinxu roared with a ferocious look on his face, completely losing his former noble image.

In a short moment, dozens of yamen soldiers and nearly a hundred archers surrounded the "Juxian Tower".

These people had already been deployed near Lingxiao Tower to maintain the security of the Lantern Festival. More importantly, the "Pearl" of their Wutai County was here today. For the safety of his daughter, Zhou Zhenfang mobilized almost all his troops.

Seeing the archers ready to shoot with their arrows drawn up, Tang Zhongjun was so anxious that he jumped onto the lighthouse and firmly controlled Zhou Xinxu.

"How dare you! How dare a small county like Wutai treat the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion so rudely? Here is the token, and ask your county magistrate Zhou Zhenfang to come and see her." Tang Zhongjun was so scared that he almost had a heart attack. If something happened to the third young lady's wife, how would he have the face to go back and see the Prime Minister?

Zhou Xinxu was so angry that she had lost her mind. No matter who she was, she would arrest her even if the emperor came.

She raised her soft hands and slapped the Prime Minister's token, angrily saying, "Even your identity has been fabricated, old man, it seems that you are in cahoots with them, then don't leave! Capture them all for me, and whoever dares to resist will be killed without mercy."

Li Mingzhu's family runs an antique business. Seeing that the engraving craftsmanship of the token did not look fake, she kindly reminded him, "Xinxu, why don't you notify Uncle Zhou first?"

"Pa!" Zhou Xinxu slapped him with her backhand. Her face turned pale, and she pointed at Li Mingzhu and yelled, "If you dare to talk too much, I'll take you down too!"

Li Mingzhu's whole body was as tense as a piece of ice stone, and she looked at Zhou Xinxu in disbelief.

She had grown up, and when had she ever been treated like this? Even her parents were reluctant to hit her, but today Zhou Xinxu slapped her in front of everyone. How could she live her life in the future?

A strong sense of humiliation surged in her heart, and she let out a heart-wrenching roar, pounced on Zhou Xinxu, pressed her to the ground, raised her wrist, and slapped her face countless times. Her trimmed and sharpened nails scratched Zhou Xinxu's snow-white cheeks, leaving a series of horrible blood marks.

The air seemed to freeze instantly, and everyone was frozen there, too frightened to even breathe. Qian Xiang, the leader of the guard, was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. The two ladies were arguing, and even if the sky fell, the arrow couldn't be released. Wutai County had never seen such an incident before, and for a moment he was stunned on the spot.

"Ms. Zhou is going to be beaten to death!"

Someone shouted, and Yan Siqing and Wu Yunyu suddenly came to their senses. They rushed forward and dragged Li Mingzhu off Zhou Xinxu.

Zhou Xin and Xu Mingyan's cheeks were already bloody and bloody. They were horrified and stood there twisting their silk handkerchiefs in confusion. Tang Zhongjun couldn't bear to watch it any longer and shook his head, reminding them, "Send them to the doctor quickly and get Zhou Zhenfang here!"

"Yaoyao, is her pretty face ruined?" Helian Qing asked with a trembling voice, tightly grasping Mu Yao's sleeve. I didn't expect that these two people were just boudoir friends, and in the blink of an eye, they became mortal enemies.

"God will punish a mad man, and man will punish a mad dog. She deserves what she deserves." Mu Yao was in a very happy mood. It seemed that the fur had been smoothed over without her doing anything. Now she even liked Li Mingzhu a lot better.

"Yaoyao, I think Zhou Xinxu will go crazy." Helian Qing said firmly. Once the beautiful skin is gone, there will only be an empty shell and the only dignity of being a woman. Just think about He Wanyi. She has a distinguished family background, good martial arts, and not shallow knowledge, so what? Now she is over the age of virginity, she has robbed one after another, married again and again, divorced again and again, not letting others go, let alone herself. However, it is said in the capital that she seems to have the seedlings of turning over a new leaf, because since she married the upright and proud Master Meng, there has been no news of Meng Fang being divorced.

"As long as she is rich enough, she can buy a bottle of Jade Cream from Fuguang Pavilion and she will recover." Mu Yao said calmly. Xu Qingcheng had applied "Jade Cream" on her snowy neck on the wedding night. It cost 600,000 silver and a half, and a small bottle cost 10 silver. Suddenly, she thought of the fat boy. She had promised to invite him to try new dishes at "Shuiyunjian". She had to make it happen as soon as possible when she returned. After all, he was her biggest customer at the moment!

"Let's go." Helian Yun said loudly. He didn't expect things to turn out like this. For them, it's not a bad thing.

"Please stay, all three of you." The leader of the guard team bowed and said to them from the opposite building.

Helian Yun paused, turned around and looked in the direction of the voice, and saw the yamen soldier who spoke was wearing a blue official uniform, standing next to Old Tang.

Tang Zhongjun nodded slightly, then turned to Qian Xiang and said, "Qian is leading the troops, why not let them come to Lingxiao Tower."

Qian Xiang carefully checked Tang Zhongjun's seal, and it was indeed the seal of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The identities of the people should be true. One of the three was the daughter-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the other two were the eldest son and eldest daughter of the Lanling Helian family. Their identities were more impressive than the other. For a small county like theirs, everyone was a god. They could not even dream that the top figures in the capital would come to participate in the Lingxiao Lantern Festival today.

The situation today was serious and complicated, which made him confused and at a loss as to where to start.

All those involved must not be let go, and they must all be secured before the county magistrate arrives.

Qian Xiang thanked Tang Zhongjun for his understanding, surrounded the three beauties of Wutai County, and sent someone to notify their families to come. He also controlled all the people under Lingxiao Building, kept all the witnesses, and resigned.

When the tourists heard that they had to stay in Sandalwood Street for a while, there was a sudden uproar and a crowd of people. Many of them were children who did not see the lantern festival and wanted to go home. One or two of them even started crying. When other children heard the crying, they also started crying. For a while, the street was in chaos. Some noble ladies could not stand the noise and wanted to take their husbands home, making the scene gradually chaotic.

Helian Yun, Mu Yao and Helian Qing were slowly moving from the second floor to the first floor with the crowd. The crowd of onlookers were very cooperative and consciously made way for them to pass through.

However, the crowd was too crowded, and by the time the three of them moved out of the "Juxian Building", they were already sweating profusely. Helian Qing was tightly covered by the veil, and felt that she couldn't breathe smoothly, and she was flustered and short of breath. Seeing that she was uncomfortable, Mu Yao quickly gave her a Qi Gathering Pill. Helian Yun saw his wife and younger sister suffering, and his handsome face turned pale.

Tang Zhongjun hesitated on the Lingxiao Building whether to take action. The two buildings were nearly ten feet apart. With his Qinggong, he needed a support point to cross. But the street was crowded with people, and they were packed tightly together like dumplings, so there was no place to stand.

The noise in her ears made Helian Qing uneasy and her head buzzed. What she lacked at the moment was fresh oxygen. The hot and suffocating feeling made her legs and feet go limp, her eyes went dark, and she fell forward.

Helian Yun held her steady and had to let go of Mu Yao, holding his younger sister tightly in his arms.

"Yaoyao!" Helian Yun said worriedly. He almost took a step to the side to look at Mu Yao. Their speed was slower than a snail. When he thought about having to move slowly up the steps later, he could only look up at Tang Zhongjun and shook his head helplessly.

"Captain Qian, can you please disperse the crowd downstairs and make a few openings? I want to take the young lady and Noble Lady Helian here first."

Qian Xiang looked at the crowd with a serious expression. Although Sandalwood Street was a street, it was only about 200 meters long, and the eastern end was a dead end, so people could only evacuate from the western end of the street.

"Everyone on the street, listen up! Move a hundred meters to the west." Qian Xiang shouted at the top of his voice.
