The host ruthlessly crushes scum in the small world

"How could this be... how could this be..."

Lin Chuyun couldn't hear what Jiang Xingkuo was saying, so she simply gestured to the maid next to her to do it.

But to my surprise, Jiang Xingkuo reacted quite strongly, knocking the clothes to the ground.

Lin Chuyun narrowed her eyes, but she didn't expect the maid to slap Jiang Xingkuo across the face. Although the maid was a servant, this was the Nanli Kingdom, a place where women were respected. How could a man, especially a prisoner, be allowed to talk back like this?

"Are you just going to let your maid hit me like this?"

Lin Chuyun was baffled by Jiang Xingkuo's defiant voice. Wasn't he the one who refused to cooperate first? Why did she need someone to remind her?

Seeing that Lin Chuyun didn't speak, the maid used even more force, knocking Jiang Xingkuo to the ground. Lin Chuyun didn't stop her, because she knew the maid had stopped, and besides, how could Jiang Xingkuo's physical condition possibly be killed so easily?

But Lin Chuyun wanted to see if Jiang Xingkuo could hold back.

After a while, the maids were tired of beating him, but Jiang Xingkuo still didn't make a move. He just lay on the ground with his chest rising and falling slightly, seemingly without any life. Upon seeing this, the maids immediately knelt down before Lin Chuyun.

"Your Highness..."

Lin Chuyun waved her hand. She had watched the maid beat him right before her eyes, so naturally she was primarily responsible for what happened. But Jiang Xingkuo was just a prisoner now, so what did it matter if a prisoner died?

So they sent someone to take Jiang Xingkuo away. When Lin Chuyun saw that Jiang Xingkuo, who had just been lying on the ground without any life, suddenly took several deep breaths when he learned that he could be taken away, Lin Chuyun noticed that he was abruptly taken aback.

The farce finally came to an end. Lin Chuyun finished her meal and went to sleep peacefully, but Jiang Xingkuo, who woke up next to her, was not happy at all.

This afternoon, when Jiang Xingkuo was being carried away, he felt that what he had done had indeed made Lin Chuyun feel sorry for him, but he did not expect that the more he walked, the more unpleasant the smell became.

Jiang Xingkuo was "seriously injured" and could not open his eyes. However, the maids threw him to the ground. Fortunately, there was something on the ground to cushion his fall, preventing him from getting hurt again.

Jiang Xingkuo lay on the ground for a while, feeling lost and confused. He found that, as expected, no doctor had come, and even the maids who had carried him had left after complaining.

Jiang Xingkuo slowly opened his eyes, only to find that there was no one around. Jiang Xingkuo didn't bother to pretend anymore and stood up to look around, only to find that there really was no one there.

Jiang Xingkuo didn't know why this was happening, but when he turned his head, he found that the place where he had just been lying was just a pile of weeds on the ground.

"Why is this happening? Didn't that woman bring me back because of my face?"

Jiang Xingkuo was so confident because he noticed that when he first appeared in front of those women, their eyes were completely captivated.

Even that so-called noble princess seemed to like him very much, otherwise why would she stop him after Lin Chuyun?

After all, Jiang Xingkuo didn't believe that Lin Jiayun did this because she was worried about Lin Chuyun's husband; it must be out of jealousy!

But now... Jiang Xingkuo looked at the clothes he was forced to wear and the weeds that had just been thrown on the ground and stuck to him. He patted them hard and even wanted to take them off. But the clothes he had worn before were gone. In the end, he had no choice but to make do with those ugly clothes.

"What's wrong with Lin Chuyun? I only knew she was a soldier and not very feminine. How could she be like this? I should have chosen Lin Jiayun instead; she seemed easier to control."

Jiang Xingkuo was talking to himself, but he didn't seem to realize that he was just a prisoner brought back by Lin Chuyun. How could he possibly have the right to negotiate?

"Royal sister! Royal sister!"

Lin Chuyun watched Lin Jiayun bouncing around, her face expressionless. But Lin Jiayun seemed to have gotten used to it, and she could be heard chattering away.

But after a short while, Lin Jiayun started talking about Jiang Xingkuo, and Lin Chuyun immediately looked at Lin Jiayun.

"Your Majesty, that newly brought-back prisoner..."

"What? You haven't given up?"

"Where would I be? My elder sister, how could I possibly have any improper thoughts about you...? I'm just worried that this person might affect your relationship with the prince consort!"

Lin Chuyun shrugged, indicating that it was nothing.

"No, he won't interfere with my relationship with Yu Qirang at all. Perfect timing, I can go see my horse today!"

Lin Jiayun didn't know why Lin Chuyun suddenly brought up going to see the horses, when she was just talking about Jiang Xingkuo.

But soon Lin Jiayun realized why Lin Chuyun had suddenly gone to see the horses—it was because the person feeding the horses there was none other than Jiang Xingkuo.

"Elder sister, this..."

"Don't you think he's feeding you quite well?"

Lin Chuyun walked over, and the horses all came over affectionately to rub against her hand. Lin Chuyun smiled and patted the horses' heads.

Lin Jiayun was also speechless with surprise. Even the noble ladies who had liked Jiang Xingkuo before because of his face probably wouldn't want to get too close to him now.

"See? I told you it wouldn't have any impact."

Lin Jiayun realized what was happening and immediately began praising Lin Chuyun, then started hugging Lin Chuyun's arm.

"Your Majesty, the equestrian competition is about to begin, but I don't have a suitable horse yet."

Lin Chuyun thought about it and realized that there would indeed be an equestrian event soon, because nowadays noble ladies would start learning various skills from a young age, including equestrianism.

That's how equestrian competitions came about. Lin Jiayun never participated in these competitions before, so why is she doing it now?

Lin Chuyun looked at Jiang Xingkuo with suspicion. Could it be because of him?

"Royal sister, royal sister!"

Lin Chuyun was lost in thought, but was immediately brought back to her senses after being awakened by Lin Jiayun's voice.

"Great! You can pick any horse you like here!"

Lin Chuyun decided not to ask Lin Jiayun why for the time being. If there was really a problem, Lin Jiayun wouldn't say it anyway, so it was better to quietly follow Lin Jiayun and see what she was up to.

Sure enough, ever since Lin Chuyun agreed to let Lin Jiayun come and choose a horse, Lin Jiayun has been coming every few days, and even practiced at Lin Chuyun's horse farm.

Because Lin Chuyun's horses were all fed by Jiang Xingkuo, Jiang Xingkuo would usually be by her side.

But unexpectedly, the two became familiar with each other. Lin Chuyun stood in the shadows and watched Jiang Xingkuo occasionally instructing Lin Jiayun on her movements. If Lin Jiayun accidentally did something wrong, Jiang Xingkuo would immediately step forward.
