Chapter 1

On the first day of becoming the Cheng Wang's consort, Shen Jin Huan was punished by her husband to kneel in front of the Xiangluan Hall for a whole day and night.

From then on, everyone in the mansion knew that the new consort was not favored.

Inside the master bedroom, the sounds of a man and woman in pleasure could be heard.

It was the Cheng Wang and his favored concubine, Zhao Shuyi, whispering to each other in the bedroom.

Zhao Shuyi, who had just finished a fierce battle, lay weakly on top of the Cheng Wang, Li Yu, her alluring voice extremely seductive.

"Your Highness, Sister has been kneeling outside the door all night. Don't you plan to let her up? If this gets out, it might not be good for your reputation. Besides, Sister's family..."

Zhao Shuyi didn't finish her sentence. She understood Li Yu's thoughts the most, knowing that this man couldn't tolerate much.

Sure enough, Li Yu's face, which had been smiling, instantly turned cold.

"So what if it gets out? This is my mansion. Even if the Shen family is powerful, what can they do? Moreover, she is such an ugly wretch. What if I kill her?"

Kneeling outside the door, Shen Jin Huan, who had listened to the intimate sounds all night, felt a chill rise from her feet.

Seeing that the incense had burned out, Shen Jin Huan finally couldn't hold back and spoke.

"Your Highness, the time has come. May I get up?"

Soon, footsteps were heard from inside the room. Shen Jin Huan secretly sighed in relief, finally able to end this humiliating ordeal.

Who knew...

As soon as the door opened, a gust of wind blew past.

Shen Jin Huan was kicked to the ground by someone. Having not eaten or drunk for a day and night, she was already exhausted and fell to the ground completely.

Li Yu strode forward, his handsome face cold and his features rigid, his eyebrows raised high, exuding an air of arrogance.

"Wretch, who gave you permission to speak? For ruining my mood, what crime do you deserve?"

Then came Zhao Shuyi's extremely alluring voice, "Your Highness, don't be angry, it might harm your health. Sister didn't mean to. Please forgive her."

Li Yu reached out and wrapped his arm around Zhao Shuyi's slender waist, his expression softening, "Shuyi, you are so kind."

Shen Jin Huan watched the affectionate couple with cold eyes, her hand clenched tightly at her side.

Suddenly...

Zhao Shuyi, as if frightened, burrowed into Li Yu's arms, her body trembling pitifully.

Seeing this, Li Yu asked anxiously, "Shuyi, what's wrong?"

Zhao Shuyi, trembling slightly, said, "Sister's eyes..."

When Li Yu looked over, he caught Shen Jin Huan's rolling eyes before she could retract them. Coupled with the birthmark on her face, he was instantly enraged.

"You poisonous woman, you just entered the door and are already trying to bully Shuyi. Bring me the tools to gouge out her eyes."

Shen Jin Huan didn't expect Li Yu to be so ruthless. She had merely glanced at Zhao Shuyi, and now he wanted to gouge out her eyes.

"Wretch!" How could Shen Jin Huan, who had been pampered in the General's mansion, endure such humiliation?

"Slap!"

Without hesitation, Li Yu's slap landed on Shen Jin Huan's face the moment she finished speaking.

Li Yu was a martial artist, and the force of the slap almost left Shen Jin Huan sprawled on the ground, unable to get up.

Zhao Shuyi, leaning in Li Yu's arms, flashed a look of triumph. This was not enough.

"Your Highness, forget it. Sister didn't mean to. Gouging out her eyes is too terrifying. Shuyi is scared just thinking about it. How about a lighter punishment?"

Shen Jin Huan looked at Zhao Shuyi's outstretched hand with disdain and turned her face away, but Zhao Shuyi didn't give up. She took Shen Jin Huan's hand, and Shen Jin Huan instinctively pulled away.

"Ah!"

A scream, and Zhao Shuyi fell to the side.

"Your Highness, Sister..."

Her delicate face was full of委屈, tears welling in her eyes, making her look truly pitiful.

Shen Jin Huan knew this was Zhao Shuyi's trap. Any clear-eyed person could see through it. But no one present was clear-eyed, and her deep affection for Li Yu and her efforts to marry into the mansion were all in vain.

Anger surged in Li Yu's heart. He had never intended to let this woman have an easy time since he was forced to marry her. Who knew she was so vicious, daring to harm his people right after entering the door. He was determined to make Shen Jin Huan pay.

"Bring this woman out and behead her."

Hearing Li Yu's judgment, Shen Jin Huan smiled helplessly. This was all she had asked for, and this life was saved by Li Yu. If he wanted to take it, she would give it to him.

"Your Highness, no! Don't kill anyone..."

Zhao Shuyi kept pulling at Li Yu, her soft body rubbing against him, which quickly dissipated his anger. To win the beauty's smile, he changed his mind.

"Bring this poisonous woman out and break her legs."

Li Yu's order was final, and no one could change it.

Watching Shen Jin Huan being dragged away by the servants, Zhao Shuyi, leaning in Li Yu's arms, smiled inwardly.

She had been favored in the mansion for years, not just because of her looks. The Shen family held military power. If Shen Jin Huan died because of her, the Shen family might blame her, and she might suffer as well. There were many ways to deal with Shen Jin Huan, and she wasn't in a hurry.

Shen Jin Huan, you wait. We have a long road ahead.
