The daughter of the first wife grew up in the countryside and was extremely powerful

Then, it swung its body with all its might, as if it had gone mad.

The man on the horse obviously didn't have time to react and was thrown out unexpectedly.

With a dull thud, the man fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Seeing this, Ji Yunchen's soldiers, who had been waiting for an opportunity nearby, immediately rushed forward without hesitation.

They nimbly grabbed the horse's reins and tried their best to calm the frantic animal.

At this moment, Shi Jinyan did not pay too much attention to these things.

He just stood there with a frosty face, his icy eyes looking emotionlessly at the man who was thrown to the ground and looked extremely miserable.

He spoke slowly, his voice as cold and ruthless as the wind blowing across the ice:

"Mr. Meng is truly audacious, galloping so recklessly through the capital. Do you really think you can do whatever you want here, without any restraint?"

Hearing these words, Meng Qiaoming, who had just been thrown down and was in unbearable pain all over his body, finally stopped howling.

He turned around with a look of surprise and doubt on his face, staring at Shi Jinyan who was protecting Gu Fanchu.

It was not until this moment that he realized, as if waking from a dream - Shi Jinyan actually went to greet Gu Fanchu in person!

How could this be possible? Meng Qiaoming looked at the two people who were so well matched before him in disbelief.

Finally, he pointed at Gu Fanchu angrily and scolded loudly:

"Master Shi, you must not be fooled by this village woman, Gu Fanchu! Her vulgar, rude, barbaric, and cunning appearance is simply disgusting. Moreover, this person is scheming, insidious, and cunning, and her methods are despicable and shameless to the extreme! She even attempted to murder my gentle and kind sister Wan'er..."

At this point, Meng Qiaoming was so angry that he was shaking all over, with raging rage flashing in his eyes, as if he wanted to eat Gu Fanchu alive.

Shi Jinyan didn't give Meng Qiaoming a chance to speak. He just waved his hand and a fierce palm wind blew out.

The palm wind was like an invisible force, hitting Meng Qiaoming's body hard.

There was only a muffled sound, and Meng Qiaoming flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.

He fell heavily to the ground, his body hitting the ground with a dull sound.

A trace of bright red blood slowly seeped out from the corner of his mouth, which looked particularly glaring against his pale face.

Shi Jinyan flashed in front of Gu Fanchu and said word by word:

"How dare you! Princess Lingyu was personally appointed by His Majesty. Not to mention that you don't have any dukedom, even if you requested to be appointed Crown Prince, you would not be allowed to be so presumptuous."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Jinyan took another step forward, his eyes like torches, shooting straight into Meng Qiaoming's eyes full of resentment, and then said:

"Your Majesty has granted Meng Meng Hewan a marriage with the Third Prince. This is her blessing. Could it be that your mansion is still trying to disobey His Majesty's will?"

When Meng Qiaoming heard this, his face instantly turned as pale as paper.

He opened his mouth, and the words he wanted to continue cursing were now as if an invisible hand was strangling his throat. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't utter a single word.

It is said that he had already performed the ceremony of coming of age, and Meng Qingwen even went to the palace in person to meet the emperor and begged him to confer the title of crown prince on him.

However, His Majesty remained silent on the matter, suppressed it, and never gave a clear answer.

According to the ancestral system, the title of marquis can usually only be passed down for three generations. If he cannot make outstanding achievements, then this extremely noble title will probably not fall into his hands.

However, faced with such a situation, he felt extremely unwilling.

His eyes rolled around, a plan came to mind, and he shouted loudly:

"Shi Jinyan, Shi Jinyan, what do you know? To tell you the truth, the man Gu Fanchu loves is the Third Prince! She originally wanted to marry into the royal family in Wan'er's place and become the Third Prince's consort.

On the day of her wedding, she was the one who boarded the bridal sedan and even had the audacity to abduct Wan'er! What's even more bizarre is that, in my opinion, she must have had some unspeakable secret with the Third Prince!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, causing an uproar among the many people watching around.

Who would have thought that they would hear such shocking inside information from Meng Qiaoming.

Everyone's eyes instantly turned to the woman who was tightly held in Shi Jinyan's arms. They were filled with doubts and suspicions, and began to whisper to each other.

Gu Xunzhou walked forward quickly with a gloomy expression and kicked Meng Qiaoming hard.

Meng Qiaoming staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Before he could even stand still, Gu Xunzhou's eyes widened in anger and he shouted at him:

"Meng Qiaoming! What nonsense are you talking about? How can you throw all the dirty water on Chu'er? Are you really so crazy? She is your..."

Having said this, Gu Xunzhou paused, as if he couldn't believe that Meng Qiaoming could be so stubborn.

At this moment, Gu Xunzhou's heart was filled with rage. He never expected that for that fake daughter,

Meng Qiaoming actually dared to slander Gu Fanchu in such an unscrupulous way.

This person has simply lost his mind and become incomprehensible.

At this moment, Meng Qiaoming's eyes were bloodshot and scary red.

Whenever he thought of Wan'er's aggrieved and tearful, pitiful look, his heart felt as if it was being torn apart by an invisible big hand, and the pain was unbearable.

No!

He had to get Wan'er back to him no matter what, because there had long been a falling out between him and Wan'er... Therefore, Gu Fanchu had to marry the third prince.

So, Meng Qiaoming gritted his teeth and continued to yell hysterically:

"It's her! It has to be her! She and the Third Prince have been having an affair for a long time, and she must have done something behind the scenes. This shameless woman is not worthy of anyone!"

Hearing this, Gu Xunzhou widened his eyes and stared at his cousin who had fallen into a state of madness in disbelief, his heart full of confusion and shock.

He really couldn't understand why the once kind and upright Meng Qiaoming had become such a strange person now.

Shi Jinyan's eyes seemed to be covered by dark clouds, filled with a deep gloom.

He suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled the long sword at his waist, which was shining with cold light, out of its sheath in an instant, making a crisp sword sound.

He leaned forward and was about to rush forward, but at this moment, a strong hand grabbed his arm tightly from behind, preventing him from moving forward.

Looking back, he saw that it was Gu Fanchu who was standing behind him and tried to stop him.

Gu Fanchu shook his head gently at Shi Jinyan, signaling him to stay calm.
