Zhou Yu used almost all his strength to push Ling Jinlan into the water.

He grabbed her hair very hard.

"Bitch, this is what happens when you're unfaithful to your husband!"

"You're engaged to my brother, yet you still dare to hook up with other men? A woman like you deserves to be thrown into a pig cage!"

"Do you think that no one can stop you just because you're Duke Ling's sister?"

Ling Jinlan was pressed into the water and couldn't break free. He could only hold his breath to avoid choking.

In a hurry, he pulled out the dagger, raised his hand and stabbed the man's arm.

The moment her hair was loosened, Ling Jinlan immediately swam away, kept some distance, and then surfaced to breathe.

Zhou Yu's arm was stabbed, and blood spread red in the water.

"Bitch!" His eyes turned fierce and he continued to grab Ling Jinlan.

Ling Jinlan was soaked, her hair was messy and stuck to her face, covering up the murderous look in her eyes.

He took a deep breath and immediately dived into the water.

Zhou Yu was shocked to see her disappear all of a sudden. When he dived into the water, he found that Ling Jinlan was no longer in the water.

At this moment, Ling Jinlan had appeared behind him silently.

The sharp dagger in his hand was slowly approaching.

At this moment, Zhou Yu couldn't hold his breath anymore and floated to the surface. How could this bitch not float up yet? How could she hold her breath so well?

Or has he drowned?

It happened in a flash. An extremely strong internal force hit him, causing powerful splashes on the water surface, which actually shook him out of the water.

Zhou Yu was grabbed by the collar in mid-air and thrown several meters away.

Fall into the water again.

The shock caused severe chest pain.

Ling Jinlan felt strange, so he came out of the water and saw Qin Huaizhao taking action.

He quickly put away the dagger.

Qin Huaizhao looked panicked, but when he saw her, he calmed down and quickly hugged her, "Are you okay?"

Ling Jinlan shook his head, his face pale, "It's okay."

At this time, the cruise ship where Zhang Zhu was located arrived and rescued Zhou Yu.

Qin Huaizhao's eyes turned cold. He hugged Ling Jinlan with one hand, jumped out of the lake with a light Kung Fu, and then jumped onto the boat.

"You guys!" Zhang Zhu took two steps back in fright.

He quickly helped Zhou Yu up.

Qin Huaizhao picked up the blanket on the chair and covered Ling Jinlan with it. The moment he raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhu, his eyes were sharp and murderous.

"So it's you two."

When he saw Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhu, he understood what was going on.

Zhang Zhu was publicly rejected by Ling Jinlan at the Plum Garden Banquet and was filled with resentment.

Instigated Zhou Yu to take revenge on Ling Jinlan.

When Zhou Yu was in Kyoto City, he was an uneducated and idle playboy. He was very good friends with Zhou Jingxuan, and they always went out together for eating, drinking and having fun.

Zhou Lin disliked Zhou Yu for leading Zhou Jingxuan astray, so he sent Zhou Yu to the military camp to give him some experience and change his temper.

Due to Zhou Jingxuan's death, there was no one left in the Zhou family's direct lineage, and only Zhou Yu was worthy of training. He used his connections to promote him to the position of deputy general and brought him back.

I just recently arrived in Kyoto.

Now seeing that he is full of hostility and looks down on others, it seems that instead of being reformed after entering the military camp, he has become more like a hooligan.

Zhou Yu pushed Zhang Zhu away and glared at Qin Huaizhao fiercely.

"So you are the adulterer!"

"A dignified Shaoqing of the Dali Temple is flirting with a married woman. Do you have any shame?"

"You two adulterers should be killed together and fed to the dogs!" Zhou Yu gritted his teeth.

That fierce look in his eyes seemed as if he was really capable of doing such a thing.

Qin Huaizhao's face turned grim, and he said sternly, "Stop talking nonsense!"

"Jinlan and I are innocent!"

"Besides, she has never been married, so how can she be a married woman?"

"But you, Zhou Yu! You attempted murder in front of me. You should go to the Dali Temple!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Huaizhao rushed forward with a fierce palm wind.

Zhou Yu immediately fought back and started fighting with Qin Huaizhao.

The two fought fiercely.

Although Zhou Yu was quite skilled, he was no match for Qin Huaizhao. Qin Huaizhao caught him and beat him up severely, leaving him with a bruised face and three broken ribs.

Finally, he lay on the ground and couldn't get up.

Zhou Yu's face was covered in blood, and he pointed at him while enduring the severe pain. "You're using your power for personal gain. I'm going to sue you!"

Qin Huaizhao's eyes were cold and gloomy. "Sure, but before that, you have to stay in the Dali Temple for a few days."

After saying that, Qin Huaizhao glanced at Zhang Zhu fiercely and said, "Dock the boat!"

Zhang Zhu was so frightened that he trembled and quickly did as he was told.

What a pity that Zhou Yu didn’t succeed.

Ling Jinlan escaped again.

Soon, the boat docked and Qin Huaizhao grabbed Zhou Yu, causing him to wail in pain.

"Qin Huaizhao, my father will not let you go!" Zhou Yu was full of anger.

"It's best not to let them go! Investigate the Zhou family as well!"

The crown prince has been deposed, and the Zhou family is now in a difficult situation. How dare this kid be so arrogant?

Zhou Yu turned his head and glanced at Ling Jinlan, his sharp eyes as if he was looking at a prey.

He gnashed his teeth and said, "You adulterous couple, I'll chop you up and feed you to the dogs sooner or later!"

"Ling Jinlan is a member of my Zhou family. Even if he dies, he will be the ghost of the Zhou family! Qin Huaizhao, let's see how you explain this to the emperor!"

Qin Huaizhao said nothing and dragged Zhou Yu away angrily.

The guards from a distance rushed over, and Qin Huaizhao handed Zhou Yu over to them, "Take him to the Dali Temple!"

"Yes!"

After they left, Qin Huaizhao turned around and looked at Ling Jinlan, "I'm sorry for getting you into trouble today. Blame me for not protecting you well."

"I will send you back."

Ling Jinlan shook his head and said, "No need. I can go back by carriage by myself."

Soon the maid came and supported her.

"Thank you, Lord Qin, for your help today." Ling Jinlan bowed slightly.

Seeing her being so polite, Qin Huaizhao felt a tightness in his heart.

After so much effort, we finally closed the distance, but today...

Looking at Ling Jinlan's leaving back, he quickly chased after her, "Jinlan!"

"I want to say a few words to you."

Ling Jinlan signaled the maid to step back.

She looked up at Qin Huaizhao with a pale face and said in a clear voice, "That's right, I also want to say something to Master Qin."

Qin Huaizhao was delighted and said, "You speak first!"

Seeing the smile in his eyes, Ling Jinlan pinched her palm hard.

"Master Qin, I know what you mean."

"But... it's impossible for us."

"Zhou Yu is right. My engagement with Zhou Jingxuan is still in place. If the Zhou family pursues this, I will be theirs."

Qin Huaizhao's face changed and he said anxiously: "No! You are not married! Zhou Jingxuan is dead!"

Ling Jinlan interrupted him coldly: "That's an imperial decree!"

"The Imperial Edict states that sooner or later, I will be a member of the Zhou family."

Qin Huaizhao clenched his palms, full of resentment, "I won't let you marry into the Zhou family! It won't count if we don't get married!"

Seeing that he still refused to give up.

Ling Jinlan gritted his teeth.

She looked at him firmly, her tone cold: "Even without the imperial decree, I would never marry you."

"Why?" Qin Huaizhao asked unwillingly.

"Because...I don't like you."
