Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 40 The Emperor's Dragon-Patterned Jade Pendant

In Shengtao Garden.

"you you you……"

Yang Zifeng pointed at Chen Qingyan, trembling with anger, and could barely speak. Although he, Yang Zifeng, was not as handsome as Pan An, he was at least a dashing young man. However, Chen Qingyan not only lied through his teeth but also used foul language and had no manners whatsoever. He had truly experienced the upbringing of the Prime Minister's mansion.

"You, you're acting like a shrew that everyone despises!!"

Yang Zifeng pointed at Chen Qingyan and finally managed to utter these words. He suppressed his anger, knowing that this was the Prime Minister's residence, not a place where he could run wild.

"Since you call me a shrew, then I'll act like a shrew for you, how about that?"

Since her intention was to provoke Yang Zifeng anyway, Chen Qingyan didn't mind being called a shrew. She stepped forward, raised her right hand high, and quickly struck Yang Zifeng's cheek, producing a crisp sound. The pain and numbness spread from her cheek to her nerve endings, leaving Yang Zifeng momentarily stunned.

He looked up at Chen Qingyan with hatred, his eyes gradually turning red as his anger surged forth. Yang Zifeng no longer cared about the occasion, grabbed Chen Qingyan's collar, and said with a ferocious expression, "You bitch!!"

This is the scene that Mu Yuanzhan, who rushed over from a distance, saw. Yang Zifeng reached out and grabbed Chen Qingyan's clothes, his expression ferocious, one hand raised high. Chen Qingyan, who was being held by him, tried to straighten her toes to share her weight, her hands clutching the clothes around her neck, trying to make herself more comfortable. Her face was already red from being squeezed by the clothes, and tears welled up in her eyes, making her look pitiful.

If one didn't know the background, everyone would think that Yang Zifeng was bullying Chen Qingyan, and Mu Yuanzhan naturally thought so too.

He had already fallen in love with Chen Qingyan, and how could he bear to see his beloved being bullied like this?

"Stop it!!"

As a great general, he naturally carried weapons with him. He casually tossed out the short dagger tucked in his waistband, and the sharp blade whistled through the air. If Yang Zifeng hadn't dodged quickly, he would have lost his hand.

To dodge, Yang Zifeng loosened his grip. Without support, Chen Qingyan immediately collapsed to the ground. Seeing her intended target arrive, Chen Qingyan looked at Mu Yuanzhan through teary eyes, her voice choked with sobs: "Brother Mu..."

"Yan'er, don't be afraid, I'll protect you."

With a cold gaze fixed on Yang Zifeng, who was cowering slightly upon his arrival, Mu Yuanzhan gently helped Chen Qingyan up, and couldn't help but pull her into his arms, letting her lean against his chest to comfort her.

With Mu Yuanzhan's arrival, Yang Zifeng, who was still somewhat angry, came to his senses. Looking at Chen Qingyan, who was nestled in Mu Yuanzhan's arms with a delicate expression, he realized that he had been tricked. Having frequented brothels since childhood, he was very familiar with the ways women competed for favor, but he never expected that someone would use them on him.

The marriage was finally arranged after much pleading and persuasion from her family. She had assumed that the Prime Minister's daughter would be a sensible and well-bred lady, but she turned out to be a woman who was promiscuous and unfaithful.

Nominally, she was his woman, but she had fallen into the arms of another man. How could Yang Zifeng, who was also a man, be willing to accept this?

Suddenly shaking his aching arm, the person who had just been furious now had a big smile on his face: "General, are you looking at me like that? Have you forgotten whose fiancée Chen Qingyan is? She's not even married yet, and she's already seduced the General. Tch! What a fine daughter the Prime Minister's mansion has raised."

"Don't say that about Yan'er!! Yan'er is a good girl. You bully Yan'er all the time and are not a good husband at all. Now you are distorting the truth here. What are you up to?"

"Bullying? Did the General see it with his own eyes or hear it with his own ears?" Yang Zifeng's expression grew increasingly disdainful. "Every time I come to the Prime Minister's residence and spend time with Chen Qingyan, I am always surrounded by many servants from the Prime Minister's residence. If I were able to bully her, don't you think the Prime Minister would have already executed me by slow slicing?"

Yang Zifeng appeared increasingly calm and collected.

Mu Yuanzhan frowned. "That's because you did it discreetly..."

"enough!"

An aged voice interrupted their conversation, "General Mu, please have some self-respect."

Mu Yuanzhan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned around. He saw that a large group of people had gathered behind him and Chen Qingyan. He had been so emotionally distraught when he saw Chen Qingyan being bullied that he hadn't noticed the large number of people behind him.

"Guards, quickly take the young lady back to her room." The Prime Minister ordered with a livid face, "Gentlemen, my daughter suddenly caught a cold a few days ago and was delirious with fever. She did something wrong, and I hope you will forgive her."

“Nephew Yang, this matter is in the wrong of our Prime Minister’s Office, and I will definitely give the Ministry of Personnel a reply.”

The Prime Minister knew every detail of his daughter's interactions with Yang Zifeng at the Prime Minister's residence. Seeing the current situation, even though he had only overheard a few words, it was clear who was at fault. His eldest daughter had indeed become somewhat mentally unstable since her last cold. He had initially thought it wasn't a big deal, but now…

This has caused such a huge incident; if word gets out, the Prime Minister's residence will be completely ruined!

"Your Excellency, you cannot protect Yang Zifeng! When I arrived, Yang Zifeng was attempting to harm Yan'er. Yan'er's personal maid, Liu Xu, can testify to this!"

Upon hearing the Prime Minister's decision that Yang Zifeng was unharmed, Mu Yuanzhan immediately became anxious. He then remembered that he had a witness on his side and hurriedly spoke up.

"Liu Xu, you speak." The Prime Minister's mind raced, and he immediately realized that if this matter could be turned around, it would be a good thing for the reputation of the Prime Minister's residence. He quickly looked at Liu Xu, who had been standing to the side.

"Master, the young master didn't bully Miss." Liu Xu secretly glanced at Mu Yuanzhan, who was glaring at her, and Chen Qingyan, who seemed to be escaping reality in his arms, and said nervously.

Liu Xu's words effectively ended Mu Yuanzhan's last hope.

"Guards, quickly escort the young lady back to her room!" the Prime Minister ordered again.

When Chen Qingyan saw the Prime Minister, who looked like he had caught his wife cheating, and the crowd behind him, she was completely stunned. Her plan was incomplete; its success depended on few people discovering what was happening. But now… it was all over!

Unwilling to be taken away like this, she withdrew from Mu Yuanzhan's embrace, looking at the Prime Minister with tears in her eyes: "Father, I don't like Yang Zifeng at all. He frequents those brothels every day, and his eyes are full of lust when he looks at me. On the contrary, I grew up with the General and we were childhood sweethearts. What's wrong with me admiring the General?"
