It's all ruined, who cares about the chastity arch

However, as he dodged, his steps staggered and his retreat left a series of chaotic water stains on the wet ground. His trouser legs were also wet in a large area, making him look miserable.

Su Wanyu, who was watching the situation quietly from the side, had a barely perceptible smile in her eyes.

This usually elegant and talented scholar from Zheng University could actually lose his composure like this, which made her feel a subtle sense of pleasure.

Although General Guo did not use any ruthless force in his sword strike, after all, his opponent was his own nephew, the resentment in his heart could erupt at any time.

So he adjusted his breathing and swung the sword again. The sword energy was like a dragon, pointing directly at Zheng Chengyan.

At this critical moment, Lord Zheng arrived in time like a savior. He was agile and strode quickly, shouting loudly throughout the courtyard: "Stop!"

General Guo paused his hand in the air, the tip of his sword stopped in mid-air. He looked up at Lord Zheng, his eyes filled with even more anger: "Lord Zheng, you are so capable that you actually forced your wife to death! Now, how dare you blame me?"

Lord Zheng was intimidating without even getting angry. He strode forward, grabbed Zheng Chengyan, whose legs and feet were weak with fear, and protected him behind his broad back.

He looked solemn, and said to General Guo, "Guo Yi, don't talk nonsense in the Zheng Mansion! Your sister was unfaithful to her husband, and chose to commit suicide out of shame. This matter has nothing to do with our Zheng family!"

General Guo was furious when he heard this. He swung his sword and the stone table broke into pieces. The fragments scattered everywhere. Wherever the sword energy reached, all the grass and trees were frightened.

"Shut up! My sister is a gentle person, she would never do such a thing! It's obvious that you are framing her to cover up the truth!"

His eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he turned to the pale-faced Xiao Guo in the distance: "It's all because of you! You favored your concubine over your wife, and made this woman lose her mind, which led to today's disaster!"

Upon seeing this, Lord Zheng immediately grabbed the sword in General Guo's hand, and the tip of the sword instantly pressed against his throat. He said firmly: "Your sister has secretly met with a man outside her family. She admitted it herself. If you don't believe me, you can ask your parents. This matter has nothing to do with Jing'er. She knows nothing. If you really want to kill someone to vent your anger, then kill me now."

General Guo gripped the handle tightly, veins popping out, and gnashed his teeth: "Don't think I don't dare!"

Lord Zheng sneered, his words full of disdain: "You dare, of course you dare! Well, come now and take my life!"

After saying that, he closed his eyes, held his head high, and slowly pushed the sword towards his neck.

The moment the tip of the sword pierced the skin, blood slowly flowed along the cold blade, and a faint smell of rust filled the air.

General Guo's hand holding the sword was shaking, veins were exposed, but he hesitated to kill.

He could deal with Zheng Chengyan at all costs, but he couldn't do anything about Lord Zheng.

Although the Zheng family no longer has its former glory, it still has a deep foundation. The old subordinates of Marquis Zheng are still there, and coupled with the delicate relationship with King Liang, if Marquis Zheng is really killed, it will surely cause strong dissatisfaction among the important officials in the court, and may even implicate the entire nine clans. By then, the Guo family will not be able to escape the connection.

Thinking of his elderly parents at home and his wife and children in the inner chamber, General Guo's heart was filled with struggles.

How could he put his family in an irretrievable situation because of a momentary impulse?

Lord Zheng caught the hesitation in his eyes, and endured the severe pain as he pushed the sword in a little further. The pain surged like a tide, and fine cold sweat seeped out of his forehead.

"How about it? Have you made up your mind? To kill him or not?"

General Guo frowned, and finally drew his sword. The sword flashed, and the cold air was pressing. He shouted sternly: "Zheng Wenfu, I will spare your lives today! But I will never let go of my sister's revenge! When the time is right, no one in the Zheng Mansion will escape the fate of being buried with my sister!"

These words exploded in the sky above Zheng's mansion, and the entire mansion seemed to tremble.

The calmness on Mr. Zheng's face began to crack. He knew his brother-in-law's temper very well. He always kept his word and never lied.

"Hmph!" General Guo sheathed his sword, turned around and left. The sound of armor rubbing against each other echoed in the courtyard for a long time.

At this time, Su Wanyu's eyes turned slightly, and she quietly leaned close to Xiao Guo's ear and whispered a few words.

Little Guo nodded slightly, then covered her forehead with her hands, her body softened, and she slowly fell backwards.

Su Wanyu was quick to support her and shouted, "Dad, it's bad, Madam has fainted!"

Upon hearing the voice, Master Zheng came back to his senses immediately. He ignored Zheng Chengyan who was still kneeling on the ground in shock, and hurried to Xiao Guo's side in two steps. He carefully picked her up, his face full of anxiety: "Jing'er, what's wrong with you?"

Su Wanyu looked at the pale face of little Guo in her arms, and deliberately revealed her deep concern: "Madam may have been overly frightened. She has been in a low mood since her mother-in-law passed away, and she cried all night last night."

Mr. Zheng was very distressed and hugged little Guo tightly in his arms: "Wanyu, these past two days are all thanks to you. I will take Jing'er to see a doctor first. As for Zheng Chengyan..."

Before he finished speaking, he glanced at Zheng Chengyan who was kneeling on the ground with disgust: "I'll leave it to you for the time being."

Su Wanyu responded respectfully: "Yes, Dad."

Mr. Zheng held little Guo in his arms and hurriedly left the courtyard.

Su Wanyu slowly walked towards Zheng Chengyan and signaled the maids around her to leave. Suddenly, only the two of them were left in the courtyard.

Zheng Chengyan lowered his head, his eyes fell on his wet trouser legs, shame and anger intertwined together, making him almost unable to cope with the situation.

Su Wanyu approached slowly, a hint of coldness on the corner of her mouth, her tone calm but with a hint of provocation: "Second Young Master, do you need me to ask someone to help you change your pants?"

Zheng Chengyan's face was as pale as paper. These days, he had been trying hard to find an opportunity to win back Su Wanyu's heart, but he didn't expect to be so humiliated in front of her today and lose all his dignity.

"Go away!" Zheng Chengyan quickly turned sideways, trying to hide the embarrassment.

However, Su Wanyu refused to let go of this opportunity. She deliberately stepped over the mess with her gold-embroidered shoes, saying with a hint of amusement, "I can't leave. If I leave, who will clean up this mess for you, my husband?"

"Speaking of which, I really didn't expect that my husband was so timid that he became incontinent after being frightened by his uncle? Or do you have some unspeakable secret?"

Zheng Chengyan's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. He staggered to his feet, rushed into the house, and slammed the door.

Outside the door, Su Wanyu looked at the closed door with a satisfied smile on her lips.

Zheng Chengyan's back pressed against the cold wooden door as he slowly slid down until his buttocks touched the ground, making a slight sound.

He closed his eyes and replayed the heartbreaking scene in his mind. The humiliation cut through his self-esteem and was more heartbreaking than any physical torture.
