Chapter 379: Chapter 380: Have You Regretted Offending Me?_1 Chapter 379: Chapter 380: Have You Regretted Offending Me?_1 Mrs. Luo slapped the bed in a fit of rage, “Someone come here! Where is everyone? Have they all dropped dead? Beat these two to death for me!”

What a joke, he hadn’t even had the chance to settle the score with them yet, and these two had the audacity to come to him, acting as if they were the ones in charge. Did they really think he had wasted all those years as a bandit?

Yet, the response he got was still dead silence.

Muniang curled her lips slightly, “Enter!”

Then, a group of thug-like burly men stumbled in, their bodies adorned with an array of colors, their bruised and swollen faces completely at odds with their fierce builds.

Mrs. Luo struggled to stand up and directed, “What are you beasts standing around for? Are you not going to beat these two for me—”

Before Mrs. Luo could finish, he saw the group of burly men fall to their knees with a “thump” before Qiao Muniang and Yu Ze, “We are at our master’s command!”

Mrs. Luo was immediately dumbfounded. The men he had nurtured for so many years had acknowledged a new master just because he was incapacitated for a moment — their loyalty really had gone to the dogs!

“What are you all doing? You think because I can’t get out of bed, I can’t discipline you anymore? Do you believe I can’t just kill you all with a stroke? Qiao Muniang, don’t you be too pleased. When I recover, I’ll kill you all—”

Before he could finish, he was struck by a palm wind square in the chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and he looked at the man in green next to Muniang in horror.

Yu Ze snorted coldly, “Your mouth is too dirty. Make another noise, and I’ll cut off your tongue directly.”

Mrs. Luo’s thugs all broke out in cold sweats behind their backs. Even though Yu Ze’s palm strike wasn’t aimed at them, they could still clearly feel the fierceness of the palm wind and knew that they couldn’t afford to provoke that man.

Who would have thought that man could beat a group of burly men like them to a pulp with just three moves, and yet do so silently because he had used pebbles to mute their pressure points beforehand, all just to give Mrs. Luo a “surprise.”

Like now.

Mrs. Luo asked in terror, “What—what do you want to do?”

Yu Ze raised an eyebrow, “What do I want to do? That depends on my wife’s mood.”

At this point, Qiao Yuanzhen had already shrunk to a corner, pale-faced. He had never realized that Qiao Muniang was such a ruthless figure. He had always looked down on him when he was a fool, and even after Qiao Muniang’s reasoning had returned, seeing Qiao Muniang still “shamelessly marry into and live with his bride’s family,” he never thought of him as someone who would turn out to be successful.

It wasn’t until today that he suddenly realized, this man was definitely not as simple as he had imagined. He knew how formidable Mrs. Luo’s men were, all with bandit backgrounds. If Mrs. Luo’s men weren’t tough, they wouldn’t be able to dominate Chatu Town. And yet, Er Liang managed to silently take down so many men all by himself; how skilled must he be?!

He had originally thought that a tyrant like Mrs. Luo would certainly be able to wipe out Qiao Muniang’s family, but in the end, he realized just how absurdly wrong he was. Er Liang alone was capable of uprooting all of Mrs. Luo’s influence.

Muniang chuckled lightly, a sinister tone to her laughter, but merely glanced at Qiao Yuanzhen before sauntering towards Mrs. Luo, “Do you regret offending me? Who was it that dared to stir trouble under Tai Sui’s watch? See clearly now, have you?”

Mrs. Luo was on the verge of tears, pleading hastily, “Lady Yu, my Lady, I was wrong. It was my failure to recognize a great person. Please spare me!”

Then immediately turned to point at Qiao Yuanzhen, “It’s all him, he’s the one who incited me to trick you regarding the contract. Qiao Yuanzhen said he couldn’t get along with you, that he wouldn’t be happy until you were dead. I was only influenced by his provocation and dared to disrespect you, my Lady!”

Seeing Mrs. Luo so openly betraying him, Qiao Yuanzhen panicked as well. He was indeed not afraid of Qiao Muniang, but the man behind her, who seemed able to squash him like a bug with just a flick of his finger, left him trembling and speechless, staring blankly at them, unable to utter a word.

Muniang’s gaze suddenly took on a playful tone, “I was wondering earlier, Uncle, how you managed to become so successful. Now I know, you’ve gone to be someone’s male consort, have you? Quite remarkable indeed, the only thing of value left on you is your face, no wonder you took this route. As expected of a scholar who has read the sage books, I, a mere countrywoman, would be ashamed to even think of such things. But Uncle, you do it with such flair. The Qiao family has indeed not wasted their efforts in raising such a tender and delicate son. Even if you couldn’t achieve any scholarly honors, you could still sell your flesh.”

Muniang’s words were full of scorn, and Qiao Yuanzhen’s face instantly turned the color of a pig’s liver. Gritting his teeth, he wished he could retort, but what little humility he had left in front of others, his last line of defense, was now being trampled upon completely!

Today, Yu Ze had someone specially investigate Mrs. Luo’s background, unearthing the skeletons of her ancestors eighteen generations back. Qiao Yuanzhen, her new favorite, naturally, wouldn’t be overlooked. When Muniang heard the news, she truly felt her moral floor lowered. Qiao Yuanzhen, who had always proud himself on achieving scholarly honors and becoming a great official, had fallen so low as to become a male consort, she wondered what arrogance he had left when he purposely returned to the village last time!

“My Lady, please spare me, Qiao Yuanzhen is at your disposal, I have nothing to do with it!” Mrs. Luo was now going all out, eager to no longer waste time with these two devils, only wishing to get away, so she simply pushed Qiao Yuanzhen forward.

But Muniang just sneered coldly, “I would like to let you go, but it seems your men are not so willing.”

With a thud in her heart, Mrs. Luo asked, “What do you mean by that?”

No sooner had Mrs. Luo spoken, a butler-dressed man entered, bowing and presenting a wooden chest, “Lady, please have a look, this is all of Mrs. Luo’s properties.”

Mrs. Luo immediately exploded, shouting, “You bunch of robbers, bandits! I’ll report you, I’ll have the County Chief arrest you, to punish your crimes!”

Yu Ze hit her again, nearly shattering Mrs. Luo’s chest. Yu Ze had carefully controlled his strength, leaving her hanging on to life. How a pity it would be for her to die! Only by living could she learn the bitter meaning of the word ‘cruelty’!

Picking up each deed and land title with her delicate hand, Muniang examined them but selected only those of Mei Garden, tossing the rest back onto the table. “I was rightfully the owner of Mei Garden, so there is nothing to say about that. The others, I wouldn’t take even if you gave them to me for free—they’re too filthy for my taste.”

Muniang didn’t want any part of the properties Yu Ze discovered today to belong to Mrs. Luo—they were all ill-gotten through violence and drenched in blood. She had no desire, nor did she covet them.
