There were clear and messy shoe prints on Chen Gongzheng's face. He stood up with a grimace, holding his waist and rubbing his shoulders, and staggered out of the palace gate, his heart full of resentment.

Those damn women will be in trouble when he gets home!

Chen Gongzheng was so angry about being humiliated by the officials that he went to the tavern to get drunk. He tried to drown his sorrows in alcohol, but it only made him more sorrowful. Now, not only was his liver aching from anger, but his head was also throbbing with pain.

He originally wanted to ride a horse to the suburbs to find those women, but he was so weak that he fell down as soon as he got on the horse.

He punched and kicked the horse, and the horse stretched its neck and neighed, then kicked forward, knocking Chen Gongzheng off his horse. His stomach churned and he vomited on the spot.

This was Zhuque Street. Chen Gongzheng was caught vomiting everywhere and was caught by the patrolling Jinwu Guards. They gave him seventy lashes with the stick before letting him go.

Chen Gongzheng was beaten so badly that his skin was torn and he had no choice but to hire a carriage. He covered his bruised buttocks and lay on the couch in the carriage.

He was furious, blaming that bastard Chen Baozhi. Tonight he would make sure that this rebellious son died without a burial place.

During the day, Ren Baozhi was able to hold on with only Si Jiangchou's water stove.

Her frozen hands were unable to hold any of the items purchased from the system mall.

However, the system became particularly easy to talk to today. Without waiting for Ren Baozhi to speak, she bought two hot packs from the system mall and even took the initiative to remove the packaging bags of the hot packs for Ren Baozhi.

While the servant was not paying attention, the two hot packs appeared in Ren Baozhi's palms.

Ren Baozhi held the heat pack tightly in her hand, and when she felt she was about to get burned, she would put the heat pack back into her system backpack in time, and she kept repeating this.

Perhaps it was Si Jiangchou's arrival that made the servants alert. They just took the water stove from Ren Baozhi's arms and gave it to themselves to use. After that, they didn't dare to make much noise.

Therefore, Ren Baozhi was able to survive until the evening.

But she was a little puzzled. Why did Si Jiangchou appear in such a remote place today?

As it got dark, Chen Gongzheng's carriage finally arrived at the small house in the suburbs.

When the two servants saw an unfamiliar carriage parked, they did not dare to open the door easily. It was not until they heard Mr. Chen cursing from inside that they hurriedly carried the person down.

Seeing that Chen Gongzheng's back and legs were covered in blood, they didn't dare to ask more questions, for fear of angering their master and being punished again.

After a busy period, the two finally cleared the couch and let Chen Gongzheng lie on it.

Chen Gongzheng was still not satisfied and said he wanted to move the couch to the main entrance so that he could watch Chen Baozhi die in front of him with his own eyes.

Chen Lanyue and Yunjia also hung their heads now, and all that could be seen were their hands frozen purple, and their lives were in danger.

Chen Gongzheng looked at the three dying women and smiled cruelly. Even the pain in his body seemed to be alleviated a lot because of this pleasure.

"How is Chen Baozhi?" he asked.

One of the servants replied respectfully, "We are still hanging on, just waiting for the master to come back and make the decision."

Chen Gongzheng smiled with satisfaction: "You, untie her chains and drag her over here."

"Yes." The servants obeyed.

Ren Baozhi was now conscious. She could feel someone untying her chains and dragging her into the house. The snow on her body fell off as she was dragged.

But she could only sense this much. The medicine in that bowl was very effective. A whole day had passed, but she still couldn't muster any strength.

"You two help her up and make her kneel in front of me." Chen Gongzheng ordered.

"Pa!" Chen Gongzheng slapped Ren Baozhi with his backhand, and five fingerprints were firmly imprinted on Ren Baozhi's face.

Before Ren Baozhi cried out in pain, it was Chen Gongzheng who cried out "Ouch, ouch".

It turned out that he hit someone too hard and twisted his shoulder, which had been stepped on in the palace.

He laughed wryly to save his dignity: "This bastard's face is frozen stiff. It's really hard to hit him."

The servant beside him understood the situation and stepped forward tactfully: "If it is inconvenient for you, my lord, how about I do it for you?"

"Yes," Chen Gongzheng nodded, "beat me to death."

The two servants were eager to try, their faces full of excitement.

They both waved their arms.

Before the slap landed, both of them fell to the ground.

His body kept twitching, blood was flowing from all his orifices, and he was foaming at the mouth.

But in a moment, he died with his mouth and eyes wide open.

Chen Gongzheng was so frightened that he lost his voice. His mouth was open but no sound came out.

Just a pair of eyes stared in horror at the two people's horrific deaths.

Suddenly, a shiny scimitar stretched out from the gap in the door, and directly split the bolt into two from top to bottom.

The wind suddenly blew, and the old wooden door was violently kicked open by the strong wind, hitting the door frame heavily, making a "bang" sound.

Outside the door was a slender woman in black.

The wind and snow became more violent at this moment. The black mask fluttered in the wind, but did not reveal the face underneath.

Holding a scimitar, she approached Chen Gongzheng step by step. Her black eyes were as deep as dead water, without any emotion.

Every step the woman took seemed to step on his heart. Chen Gongzheng was so frightened that his facial features trembled. He no longer cared about the wounds on his body. He shrank into the couch and curled up into a ball.

The man in black raised his left wrist slightly, and two black shadows shot out from the servant's forehead and disappeared into her sleeves.

"Ghost... ghost..." Chen Gongzheng was incoherent, "Ghost!"

Before the man in black could make a move, Chen Gongzheng's eyes went dark and he fainted from fright.

She turned a deaf ear to this and set her sights on Chen Baozhi.

Ren Baozhi recognized this person the moment the door was opened - it was the man in black whom Zangqiu met.

She originally thought that the man in black had died after that night, but she didn't expect that he was still alive and now appeared beside her again.

Her heart was beating very fast. Ren Baozhi struggled to get up from the ground, but she had no strength in her body.

The man in black looked at Ren Baozhi lying on the ground and the five stubby finger marks on her face: "She is really pitiful."

Ren Baozhi frowned when she heard this. This sticky and uncomfortable look, as well as the tone of false pity, gave her goose bumps all over her body.

Like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.

The wind and snow outside the house never stopped for a moment. The cold wind blew through the hall, and the door still made a creaking sound.

Fortunately, the woman in black did not stare at Ren Baozhi for too long. She lifted the couch, and the couch spun in the air and then landed steadily in its original place.

However, Chen Gongzheng, who had fainted on it, had already rolled to the side.

The woman in black leaned over, picked up Ren Baozhi, walked towards the bed, and rested her head on her legs.

Ren Baozhi didn't like this posture and tried to get up with her hands, but the man in black controlled her with just one hand.
