After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

"Quickly, let's get out of the city immediately!" After confirming that the person in the box was Lin Nian, Yin Shun immediately left with his trusted men.

Since his title as crown prince was stripped, King Yiyang has never seen him again.

The imperial physician also concluded that his leg would never heal, and he would be a cripple for the rest of his life.

His father's second wife, Lady Liu, also revealed her true colors at this time.

The whole "stepfather is better than a biological father" thing is a lie.

Everything he did was paving the way for his own son.

After becoming disabled, Yin Shun became the most marginalized person in the family.

Even his ten-year-old stepmother trampled on his head.

Yin Shun couldn't take it anymore.

He hadn't forgotten that all of this was because of him, because of Lin Nian!

If he hadn't been so clueless, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.

Fortunately, Lin Nian is now in his hands.

Besides the box containing Lin Nian, the carriage also contained most of the wealth of the Prince of Yiyang's mansion.

Yin Shun lifted the curtain. "You Dong, you're the only one who's stayed by my side through thick and thin. Don't worry, as long as we leave the capital, you'll never go hungry as long as I have food to eat."

"Your Highness, it is my good fortune to be able to follow you."

Yin Shun hid in the carriage, but didn't see the mocking smile that appeared on You Dong's lips as he drove.

Looking at this person's face again, it was none other than Hu Youqiu from Xiushuihe Village!

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Lin Nian pulled Shen Qingheng aside and asked about the baby.

Although he had an unfamiliar face, the tone and manner of his voice were none other than Nian Ge'er's.

Even if Lin Yunyuan hadn't said anything, Shen Qingheng, no matter how slow-witted, would have recognized it.

The two brothers were chatting, while Yin Cheng and his brother-in-law stared at each other.

If their husbands hadn't been there, the two of them would have already started doing it.

At this moment, the guard gave Yin Cheng a signal.

Yin Cheng said, "Niannian, they've left the city."

Upon hearing this, Lin Nian reluctantly bid farewell to Shen Qingheng.

Shen Qingheng ruffled Lin Nian's hair. "Go on."

Since getting married, Lin Yunyuan has had a husband and has started to pay more attention to her appearance.

Her hair was always neatly combed, and she shaved every day, afraid of pricking her soft, muscular husband.

Now that he had no beard to brag about, he could only stare wide-eyed and ask, "Brother Nian, what about me?"

Lin Nian suppressed a laugh, "Big brother, I'm leaving now."

Lin Yunyuan then snorted, "Be careful."

"Okay."

Yin Cheng took the white reins from his subordinate.

Things are different now. Lin Nian no longer needs a man to carry her; she can mount a horse on her own.

He was dressed smartly today and looked very dashing.

Yin Cheng led Si Dianbai out of the bustling city before mounting his horse and carrying Lin Nian out of the city.

Yin Shun, who was inside the carriage, was unaware that the carriage was heading straight for a house on the outskirts of Beijing after leaving the city.

This house is only thirty miles from the capital, hidden deep in the mountains and forests, and the surrounding area is sparsely populated.

Noticing that the carriage had stopped, Yin Shun poked his head out to see what was going on, only to find Hu Youqiu staring at him intently.

His gaze was so cold that Yin Shun couldn't help but shiver.

"Youdong, why are you looking at me like that? Keep going!"

Hu Youqiu said softly, "We've arrived."

"What?" Yin Shun then realized that a number of men had gathered around him.

"You Dong, what are you doing?"

Hu Youqiu said, "Do you know how long I've been waiting for this day?"

"In the past, you were the crown prince. Even if you died in the wilderness, there would be people who would go out of their way to find out the truth for you."

"But now, you are nothing but a cripple, and the Prince of Yiyang's mansion has completely abandoned you."

Whether you die in the capital or somewhere else, no one will care.

"You Dong, you—" Before Yin Shun could finish speaking, a man grabbed him by the collar and pulled him off the carriage.

The man was broad-shouldered and burly, but he only had one arm; the other sleeve hung empty, indicating his disability.

"You scoundrel Yin Shun, do you remember me?" The man shoved Yin Shun to the ground. "Look closely at my face, do you remember me?"

When Yin Shun saw the man's face clearly, he couldn't help but shudder.

He remembered this person! He had once taken a liking to a married young man, but the man's husband dared to resist, so he ordered his hand chopped off…

Yin Shun immediately understood, and he said viciously, "You Dong, how dare you betray me! You'll die a horrible death!"

Hu Youqiu chuckled. "You Dong is dead." He tilted his head. "Young Master, I am Youqiu. Do you remember a boy named You Xia?"

Yin Shun suddenly remembered the boy he had defiled, and when he looked at the group of people again, his eyes were filled with immense fear.

"What...what do you want to do?"

The one-armed man's eyes were filled with nothing but hatred. He almost gritted his teeth as he said, "My husband died a mangled corpse, not a single piece of good flesh on his body. Yin Shun, tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"And my brother, the boy with the red mark on his shoulder, you poured hot oil from the red candle all over him, tortured him to death, do you still remember!" The person speaking was none other than the waiter who had been responsible for administering the drug.

"My child is only ten years old, how could you, you beast, do such a thing!"

A man tore Yin Shun's clothes, saying, "Yin Shun, from now on, you are no longer a high-ranking member of the royal family."

The one-armed man calmly and roughly opened his body.

He said, "Yin Shun, go to hell."

"No...no...I'm a man, you can't treat me like this..."

"I was wrong, I was wrong, please let me go."

"You can have anything you want, please don't treat me like this..."

One of the men sneered, "Our family members begged for mercy in the same way back then, but did you let them go?"

A pair of smelly socks were stuffed into Yin Shun's mouth, silencing him from saying anything more; only his terrified eyes were filled with tears.

A dozen or so men surrounded Yin Shun and pinned him to the ground, where he was completely naked...

The sins he committed against those guys back then are now coming back to haunt him.

Gui Shi listened to the decadent music outside with a blank expression. He opened the box, tore off the disguised human skin mask, and jumped out of the carriage.

Hu Youqiu stood beside the carriage, cupped his hands in thanks to Gui Shi, and said, "Thank you for your help."

His back was very straight, like an unyielding spine.

Stripped of his obsequiousness, he remained the same dignified and modest gentleman he once was at Bibo Academy.

Gui Shi said, "No need. Even without my master, you can still get what you want."

In the distance, on a century-old tree, Yin Cheng covered his wife's eyes, saying, "I got a sty from looking at it."

"They're so pitiful, what will become of them?"

Lin Nian released her hands from her ears.

"That cartload of gold and silver jewels is enough for everyone to enjoy their old age, as long as they don't fight amongst themselves."

After hearing the man's words, he silently covered his mouth again.

"But why go through all this trouble to carry out such a seemingly useless plan?" Lin Nian asked, puzzled. "Wouldn't it have been simpler to just knock Yin Shun unconscious and take him out of the city?"

Lin Nian carefully removed her hands from her ears again.

Yin Cheng kissed his wife. "Of course, we want them to feel involved."

Lin Nian didn't understand.

Yin Cheng smiled and said, "Letting this group of Avengers personally participate in the plan to capture Yin Shun will be a small consolation to their hearts."

"Will Yin Shun die?"

Lin Nian loosened her grip on her ears.

"No, he'll only... suffer a fate worse than death."
