A red apricot is about to cheat on you

Shen Mingzhu, who was standing aside, saw that Yi Duoer was indeed beautiful, but she felt an inexplicable jealousy in her heart. She thought to herself that she was also beautiful and was not inferior to the person in front of her.

So she walked forward and gently pulled Chu Jingchen's arm. She opened her red lips and said in a coquettish tone:

"Brother Jing, so this is the Yi Duoer you mentioned. Humph, she's nothing special! Look at her appearance, her clothes are so shabby, and her temperament is full of petty-mindedness!" Her words were like a sharp knife, stabbing straight at Yi Duoer.

At this moment, facing Shen Mingzhu's harsh words, Yi Duoer felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away. She no longer had the momentum and strength she had when she confronted Zhu Qingxue before, and she couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal.

Seeing this, Chu Jingchen frowned, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he shook off Shen Mingzhu's hand without hesitation.

The force was so great that Shen Mingzhu staggered. He glared at Shen Mingzhu fiercely with his eyes wide open, the anger in his eyes seemed to want to devour her. Then, he hurriedly turned around and tried to grab Yi Duoer's hand.

However, Yi Duoer was like a frightened deer, and she subconsciously dodged away, her eyes full of alienation and indifference.

"Duo'er, don't misunderstand. She is not what you think. I have never had any contact with her. You must believe me. Lingfeng, get this nonsense woman away!" Chu Jingchen roared at last, his voice echoing in the air with unquestionable majesty.

He felt extremely regretful. He should not have let her into the mansion to visit.

Chu Junye stood aside, his jealous mood now slightly relieved. He hadn't expected that Shen Mingzhu would be so tactless. This actually helped him vent his anger. The depressed mood in his heart seemed to be swept away by a breeze.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

"I won't leave, Brother Jing, you clearly asked me to stay!" Ling Feng had already ordered Shen Mingzhu to leave, but she refused to give in and was still trying to argue. Her pitiful appearance seemed a bit artificial to others.

Yi Duoer saw all of this, and the anger in her heart suddenly flared up. She glared at Chu Jingchen with disappointment in her eyes.

Then, she looked at Chu Junye again, only to find that he had a gloating expression on his face, and that smile was so dazzling to Yi Duoer.

Her anger grew even more intense, and she said in an unhappy tone, "It's a pleasure to watch!"

Chu Junye understood that Yi Duoer was dissatisfied with him, and grinned with a hint of teasing in his smile.

Then, he tilted his head quietly, as if looking forward to the next good show. When Shen Mingzhu saw that Chu Jingchen did not speak up for her, she became even more angry and began to sneer at Yi Duoer again.

But this time, Yi Duoer was no longer as forbearing as before. She said coldly:

"I heard that the governor of Cangzhou attaches great importance to family traditions and has been a loyal official for three generations. He regards family honor as more important than his life. How could he allow an unmarried woman in his family to meet a man outside the family in the middle of the night? Oh, it seems that the rumors are nothing but lies." She spoke slowly, but every word was as sharp as a needle.

Shen Mingzhu was not a fool, so she could tell that Yi Duoer was mocking her. Anger immediately showed on her face.

Impulsively, she raised her slender hand and was about to swing it at Yi Duoer. At this critical moment, Chu Jingchen stepped forward and stopped her hand, his eyes full of disgust.

Chu Junye was stunned for a moment, and then he became seriously dissatisfied with Shen Mingzhu. In his heart, although Yi Duoer did not love him, he was the only one who could bully her. How could he allow others to hurt her?

Shen Mingzhu felt the anger directed at her by the two men. She was dazed for a moment, but quickly came to her senses. Then, pretending to be delicate and aggrieved, she looked at Chu Jingchen with tears in her eyes and said in a sobbing voice:

"Brother Jing, this woman slandered me, you can't just let her go, you have to make the decision for me." She tried to use her weakness to win Chu Jingchen's sympathy, however, she only got Chu Jingchen's disdainful look in return.

His expression was icy, and then he roared at Ling Feng beside him with a warm and angry tone:

"Don't you want the head anymore?" Ling Feng was frightened by his words. He immediately understood Chu Jingchen's meaning and did not dare to be negligent. So without saying a word, he directly ordered two guards. After receiving the order, the guards took Shen Mingzhu away rudely without mercy.

When Shen Mingzhu was dragged away, she was still confused. She didn't understand what she had done wrong and complained loudly that Chu Jingchen was unfair.

Yi Duoer just glanced coldly at Shen Mingzhu who was leaving, then retracted her gaze, not even willing to look at Chu Jingchen.

Chu Junye's anger had disappeared without a trace at this time. He sneered at Chu Jingchen and felt secretly proud in his heart.

Then, he reached out to pull Yi Duoer, wanting to take her away. However, Chu Jingchen quickly pushed Chu Junye away, holding Yi Duoer tightly behind him, and told Chu Junye to get out with a cold look.

Chu Junye was not to be outdone and said in a bad tone: "As long as I don't write a letter of divorce, she will still be my princess. You'd better recognize your own identity and don't do anything against human ethics."

The two of them were in a stalemate, and the atmosphere was as tense as a bowstring about to break.

As the two were arguing, Yi Duoer could no longer bear it. She quickly rushed between them and yelled with all her strength:
