Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

The next day.

The person sent by Shen Zhiyi brought back news one morning, saying that they had found the man's residence.

After hearing the news, Tao Jiuxi and his party immediately rushed to the address given by the guards.

After arriving at the destination, what caught our eyes was a very small house.

Compared to the house I saw yesterday, this one looks much more dilapidated, and is far different in both scale and overall appearance.

When they arrived, the yard door was wide open and the man was squatting in the yard washing clothes.

The man had a good appearance, delicate features, and exuded a subtle elegance. Anyone who saw him would find it difficult to associate him with a person who committed domestic violence.

When the man saw Tao Jiuxi and his group, he was stunned at first, then a hint of surprise flashed across his face, and he hurriedly said, "It's you?"

Tao Jiuxi tilted his head and said to Shen Zhiyi, "Is he happy to see us?"

"You read that right."

Shen Zhiyi stared at the man in front of him with suspicion and disgust in his eyes. When he was on the boat, he had been depressed for a long time because Tao Jiuxi saved him.

After the man finished speaking, he immediately put down his clothes and stood up, asking excitedly, "Did Yushu return to the capital? Did you come back with her?"

"Xie Yushu is back in Beijing?" Tao Jiuxi asked, looking at the excited man. She carefully observed his expression, trying to find a flaw in his face.

"Isn't it? Where did Yushu go? I told her that the man couldn't be trusted, but she ignored our relationship and insisted on following him. If she hadn't returned to the capital, she would have left with that man." The man said, his tone revealing despair.

"Do you know Xie Yushu's identity?"

The man nodded. "She told me about it before. She was not favored at home. Thanks to the girl, she was able to escape."

Tao Jiuxi secretly criticized Xie Yushu in her heart. How could he even reveal his past? If he didn't know that she was out of favor, this man probably wouldn't dare to act rashly.

"You said she left with someone. Who did she leave with?"

"After I married her, I went out to find a job. I thought we could live happily like this for the rest of our lives, but I didn't expect that she would..." The man's face was bitter and his eyes were full of pain.

"But what?" Tao Jiuxi asked.

"One day, I felt very dizzy, so I went home early, and... I found her in bed with another man." As the man spoke, the pain in his eyes became more intense, as if he had returned to that unbearable scene.

"Your acting is very poor," Tao Jiuxi said coldly. She looked at the man, his face filled with sadness as he spoke, feeling no sympathy at all.

She turned around and gave Shen Zhiyi a look.

Shen Zhiyi had long been unable to suppress his anger. Seeing this signal, he immediately took a step forward and kicked the man hard.

The man was kicked several steps away by Shen Zhiyi, and he fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

"You'd better tell the truth."

"Ahem... I... Everything I said is true." The man lay on the ground, showing no intention of getting up. "She was the one who cheated on me. I did hit her once, but I apologized to her afterwards. But she was still determined to run away with that man, completely disregarding our relationship."

"Are you trying to say that Xie Yushu cheated on me but still wrote to me for help?" Tao Jiuxi frowned and continued to ask.

"I just wanted to keep her, so I locked her up at home. When she realized she couldn't get out, she wrote to you. All this was so she could elope with that person." The man grew angrier and angrier as he spoke, feeling more and more wronged. After a pause, he continued, "I was sincere to her. Although the house we lived in before was bought by her, I also went out to work every day to earn money. I couldn't bear to let her wash a single piece of clothing, and I even cooked and served her meals. What else could she be dissatisfied with?"

The man's face was covered with tears as he continued to cry, "Is it because that man is richer than me?"

After saying that, he lay on the ground and burst into tears.

Seeing this, Tao Jiuxi could only act out a scene with Shen Zhiyi: "What should we do, Ayi? It seems that he is not going to tell the truth. Otherwise, just kill him right here."

"Kill him? Wouldn't that be too easy for him? Wouldn't it be more interesting to send someone to capture him back on the ship and torture him every day?" A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Shen Zhiyi's eyes.

"You're right." Tao Jiuxi nodded in agreement.

After Shen Zhiyi finished speaking, he walked towards the man. Seeing this, the man turned pale with fear and immediately hid back as hard as he could.

"Even if you are the Duke, you can't treat me like this! I am an honest citizen, an honest citizen! You can't arrest me without any reason." The man shouted at the top of his lungs while struggling backwards on the ground.

"You even know my identity? How dare you lie to me in front of me?" Shen Zhiyi's face was full of contempt.

"I'm not lying. Even if you are a Duke, you have to be reasonable." The man's voice trembled slightly, but he still pretended to be calm.

"You said you go out to work every day? Then stretch out your hands and take a look. Do they look like working hands?" Shen Zhiyi shouted angrily.

The man subconsciously stretched out his hands. At a glance, he saw that his hands were white and tender, revealing his past pampered life.

"You don't even know how to wash clothes, and you're still pretending here?" Shen Zhiyi said, kicking over the clothes the man was washing, and the water in the basin splashed everywhere.

The man hurriedly argued, "I... I really can't do these rough jobs, but it's absolutely true that Xie Yushu cheated on me. You can't arrest me just because I'm not doing anything at home!"

"If you weren't guilty, why would you let the neighbors find us, tell you, and lead us here?"

"I'm not guilty, it's you who are unreasonable! You are all well-known figures in the capital. Even if your people cheated on me, had an affair with someone and then ran away, you still protected her. Now look, you actually come to my house to bully me." The man raised his voice as he spoke. Passers-by at the gate of the yard heard the noise and stopped to watch.

"You shameless gigolo, how dare you slander me?" Tao Jiuxi's face turned red with anger. He couldn't bear it any longer and rushed forward to kick him hard.

"Murder! The high-ranking official from the capital is going to kill someone!" The man yelled desperately at the top of his lungs, and the sound echoed in the yard, sounding particularly harsh.

"If you dare to shout again, I will kill you here." Shen Zhiyi stared at the man coldly, his low voice filled with a biting chill. He didn't look like he was joking at all, as if he would take action without hesitation if the man dared to speak again.
