The villainous simp ignores the plot and mercilessly torments the female lead to tears.

Ji Yunyao turned her head to the side and said, "How you handle it is your business, it has nothing to do with me. I just want to go back to the Ten Thousand Demon Palace now."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Ji Yunyao, Ji Wendao could only sigh and say, "Sister Yunyao, if you've made up your mind, then I won't say anything more. However, I will report this matter to the Supreme Elder and others so that they can make a decision."

Ji Yunyao didn't say anything, she just turned around and remained silent.

Soon, Ji Tianchen arrived as well. Beside him were two Supreme Elders, who stared at the head of the guards with gloomy eyes.

Ji Tianchen didn't waste any words and directly ordered the guards: "You, go and arrest the maid who serves Miss Yun Yao and Han Yu, the concubine of Young Master Wen Dao."

The head guard looked startled and said, "You are not allowed to go."

However, faced with a choice between the patriarch and the chief, the guards resolutely chose to obey the patriarch's orders.

They ignored their leader's words and quickly left.

After the guards left, Ji Tianchen looked at the guard leader with an icy expression: "Ji Jue, what did you mean by stopping them just now? Did you intend to disobey my orders?"

Ji Jue's pupils suddenly contracted; he had been so focused on worrying that he had forgotten about this.

Although he was the head of the Ji family's guards, he still had to obey the family head's orders. He could not disobey the family head's orders, and just now he had openly disobeyed the family head's orders.

Given this incident and what just happened, he'll probably be badly injured, if not killed.

Now, he could only try to exonerate himself: "Master, please understand, I had no such intention."

Ji Tianchen snorted coldly: "Absolutely no such intention? I think you mean it quite a lot."

Ji Jue quickly lowered his head: "I wouldn't dare."

Ji Tianchen snorted coldly and said nothing more.

A short while later, the maid who had briefly served Ji Yunyao and Hanyu, Ji Wendao's concubine, were brought over by the guards.

The two men clearly realized what was happening; their faces turned ashen, and they trembled uncontrollably.

The guards escorting the two men threw them to the ground and bowed, saying, "Master, the men have been brought here."

Ji Tianchen nodded, glanced at the two women, and finally fixed his gaze on the maid:

"What's your name?"

The maid trembled, raised her head, and said timidly, "Reporting to the master, my name is Cuiyun."

"Cuiyun?"

Ji Tianchen muttered the name for a moment, then angrily shouted, "Tell me, who sent you to infiltrate my Ji family?"

Cuiyun was completely stunned. She had imagined countless scenarios of Ji Tianchen questioning her or getting angry at her, but she never expected him to ask her this.

She was stunned for a moment before shouting her innocence: "I'm innocent, patriarch! I'm not! I'm not a spy sent by any family! I didn't!"

"You didn't?" Ji Tianchen's eyes flashed with intense killing intent. "If you're not a spy sent by someone else, why would you try so hard to ruin Yun Yao's impression of the Ji family?"

Cuiyun was stunned again. She slowly opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, and could only turn her gaze to Hanyu.

Upon seeing this, Ji Tianchen immediately turned his attention to Han Yu:

"It seems you two are in cahoots. Tell me, who is your true master?"

Han Yu was even more confused. What was going on? She was just one of Ji Wendao's concubines. How could she be an undercover agent sent by the enemy?

She was about to say something in her own defense, but Ji Tianchen didn't give her a chance to speak at all:

"Don't try to deceive me. After all, it was you who ordered Ji Jue to intercept Ji Yunyao within the Ji family, wasn't it?"

Han Yu's eyes widened instantly. She pursed her lips and remained silent.

Ji Tianchen looked at her, snorted coldly, and then looked at Ji Jue: "Ji Jue, tell me, did Han Yu report this to you, and that's why you came to pick up Yun Yao?"

Ji Jue glanced at Han Yu, then turned to Ji Tianchen: "Reporting to the patriarch, that is indeed the case, but Han Yu doesn't seem to be an undercover agent."
