Except for Qiao Mai, they were all seeing Blackie in action for the first time.

Heaven, it was shocking. Otherwise, the emperor wouldn’t have used vulgar language.

Blackie opened its bloodthirsty mouth and bit off the necks one by one. It was clean and efficient.

The black-clad men had no idea what was happening; they were annihilated.

Qiao Mai reached out, and the black-clad man who tried to escape from a distance was sucked under her magic grasp.

Without saying a word, she extracted his memories and then tossed the guy, letting Blackie bite him to death.

Then, Qiao Mai looked weirdly at Yuan Jiaqi, causing his hair to stand on end.

“Wife, did they come for me?”

“Smart! ”

“Really? What’s my connection with them?”

“Do you remember the young lady from the Rong family?”

Yuan Jiaqi shook his head. “I don’t remember. I only have you in my eyes, no one else. Not even a celestial being.”

The emperor was stunned and burst into laughter, “He doesn’t remember, but I do. She’s Young Master Rong’s legitimate sister.”

“Yeah, she set her eyes on my husband and sent people to snatch him.”

“Huh?”

The empress was angry and amused. “Who does she think she is, a princess? She tried to steal someone else’s husband.”

“Some ladies from wealthy families are spoiled. There are plenty who can’t marry well and end up having boy toys. Stealing a husband is not something the emperor’s daughter hasn’t done.”

The emperor chuckled, “Those are old stories. At that time, I consulted your husband’s opinion. Since he disagreed, I didn’t force it.”

“Fortunately, you didn’t force him. Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty wouldn’t be surnamed Li.”

“In-law, you are wise. I’m afraid of you.”

“Since Miss Rong is so courteous, it’s only right to reciprocate. You guys stroll around. I’ll be back soon.”

Qiao Mai disappeared from their sight instantly. The empress patted her chest, “Where did she go?”

“She’s gone to find Miss Rong. She’s in for a tough night.”

“Oh, she brought this upon herself. Whose man isn’t worth stealing? Trying to snatch our in-law’s man? Seeking death.”

“It’s probably worse than death.”

Following its master’s orders, Blackie threw all the bodies into the Rong mansion.

The carriage continued to stroll around. Half an hour later, Qiao Mai returned.

“Let’s return to the inn. It’s not early anymore. We should rest.” “I feel more comfortable in this carriage than in the inn.”

“For your good rest, I placed several talismans in the inn’s room. You’re enjoying the comfort of prosperity without realizing it.”

The empress opened her mouth, “In-law, what happened to her?”

Speaking of this, Qiao Mai’s face darkened. After taking a sip of fruit juice, she snorted.

“I took her out, stripped her, and threw her on the busiest street in the brothel district. Since she likes men so much, let her enjoy it.”

The three others shuddered simultaneously. “She probably doesn’t care, right?”

“I don’t know. If she doesn’t change, I’ll hang her on the city gate tower for the entire city to see. If she still doesn’t feel ashamed, I’ll throw her on her father’s bed. If a child is not taught well, it’s their father’s fault. I’ll let her father pamper her properly.”

The emperor wiped a cold sweat. Fortunately, he didn’t offend this ruthless woman. Otherwise, he didn’t know how she would torment him if he fell into her hands.

Amitabha!

The night passed without much conversation. The next day, the news of Miss Rong being stripped and thrown on the street spread throughout the city.

Upon seeing such a readily available beauty, those customers didn’t bother to spend money on anything else.

They lined up all night, and Miss Rong had not been free of men until dawn. Only then did someone realize she was the young lady of the Rong family.

They were scared, clutching their pants, and ran away. It was the patrolling soldiers who discovered it.

The Rong family members rushed to the scene immediately. At this time, Miss Rong was on the verge of death, with saliva flowing from the corners of her mouth.

The Rong family head called someone to dress her and carried her back home. Then, they invited a famous doctor from Luzhou to treat her. Fortunately, they managed to save her life.

The group of four sat in the teahouse, listening to the waiter talking about the outside world. Yuan Jiaqi happily rewarded him, letting him leave.

“After this incident, I wonder if the Rong family head will come during lunch?”

“He should. After all, interests are more important than anything else, let alone a useless daughter.”

“Are they coming to make connections because they covet what we have?” “Not us, but the tea and ice in Qiao Mai’s hands.”

“If I wanted to do this business, I would have done it long ago. It will not be their turn. They’re overestimating themselves. We haven’t even settled the score for the drug matter.”

“Soon, there will be some clues. Let’s drag it for now.”

At the Rong mansion, the Rong family head and lady stood by the bedside of Miss Rong. In a short while, she woke up.

As soon as she saw them, she wailed, “Father, Mother, what’s happening to me? My whole body hurts, especially my stomach and legs. And, and…”

“What happened last night?”

At this mention, Miss Rong widened her eyes. “I fell in love with a man and ordered someone to catch him. I fainted after a while. What happened exactly?”

“You were stripped by someone and taken advantage of by the brothel customers.”

“What? How is that possible? I was at home.” “That means there’s a skilled person who snatched you away.”

“Who could be so bold? I will avenge myself now.”

The Rong family head scolded, “Enough! Look at yourself; you’ve already disgraced our family.”

“Father, that’s why I want to regain it. I suspect that the group of four did this.”

“Do you think they’re fools? Since they dared to target you, they aren’t afraid of us. You’d better behave and stop causing trouble.”

“Are we afraid of them?”

“Humph! Ignorant.”

The Rong family head was angry and left, leaving Madam Rong wiping her tears, “Jiaojiao, don’t cause trouble anymore. Your father can’t figure out their background. We invited them for lunch today at Tianxing Restaurant. We will befriend them and then investigate them. To win every battle, you must first know the enemy.”

“They took advantage of me. Mother, I’m in pain.”

“Mother has applied medicine to that place. It’ll get better soon. If it were cold, you might have lost your life.”

“I will never let them go. I must have that man.”

“Give up. You’re not without handsome young men. Why bother?”

“No, I fell in love with him. If he agrees, I’ll marry him. He’s the only man in my life.’

Madam Rong couldn’t persuade her daughter, so she had to make an excuse and leave.

At noon, the emperor’s group arrived on time on the top floor of Tianxing Restaurant. The heads of the five families and their sons got up to greet them.

“Welcome.”

“Thanks. We are merely tourists and unworthy of such hospitality.”

“Haha, it’s our fate to meet. Please take a seat.

The emperor turned from a guest to a host instantly. There was no way; he was used to speaking like this.

Everyone took their seats and introduced themselves.

“I heard from my son that this lady brought excellent tea when you met. I wonder if you can get some for us?”

“I didn’t bring any today, nor did I bring ice.”

“What a pity. We loved the gifts you sent last time. They were priceless.” “You’re too polite. We brought them for our use on the road. Since you all liked them, we gave the cart of ice away. Otherwise, it would have melted.”

“I wonder where the next stop will be for you?”

“From Luzhou to the southeast, then Dongguan, and further north to Beiguan.

A circle to see the beautiful rivers and mountains of our Ming Dynasty.”

“Not bad.”

“Are you gentlemen from the capital?”

“Our children are doing business there. We plan to settle in the North later. The

South is too hot, and we are all getting older; we can’t stand such a climate.”

“It’s pretty humid, not as distinct as the four seasons in the north..”
