After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day

Chapter 273: Coaxing people

When did this guy become so close to his father that they are even drinking tea and playing chess together here.

The deep blue water in the white jade teacup reflected the perfect and impeccable smile of someone who was hearing himself being criticized.

Yun Shuning walked in front of them, smiled and bowed: "My daughter greets father and His Royal Highness Prince Rui."

Yun Zhong patted the cushion beside him and said, "Come and sit down. What have you been doing? Why do you look like you have fought three hundred rounds? Did someone bully you?"

Yun Shuning smiled brightly: "How can anyone bully your daughter?"

She told them everything that had just happened in Liufang Hall.

Originally, Yun Shuning was thinking about informing Jiang Yu about her exposure of the clinic's identity so that he could be mentally prepared and avoid causing any unnecessary trouble to his sickly drama. Now that he was here, it saved her trouble.

"boom!"

Yun Zhong slammed his palm on the table and said angrily, "This is outrageous! Lin Rouan is so bold that he actually hired someone to frame you. I will go to the Duke's Mansion and ask for an explanation for you!"

Yun Shuning quickly held down her old father. She now realized that everyone in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had a bad temper.

While I was distressed, I was secretly happy in my heart.

It feels so good to be held at the top of someone's heart.

"You don't need to do anything about this, Dad. I've already made a list of the compensation and sent it to the Duke's Mansion," Yun Shuning smiled meaningfully and took a sip of tea. "The Duke's Mansion is a big family with a lot of wealth. I believe they can still afford this little compensation. If they don't want to, it won't be too late to trouble Dad to do it."

Although the coroner has performed an autopsy on the spot and announced that it has nothing to do with Liufangtang, this incident has caused a certain degree of damage to Liufangtang's reputation and will more or less have some impact, so compensation is naturally required.

Moreover, Lin Rouan must pay it back.

If he wanted to make her unhappy, then she would make Lin Rouan even more unhappy.

"It won't do to pay less," Yun Zhong said sternly, "Using human life to frame the clinic is no small matter. I'm afraid Lin Rouan is holding a grudge against you and is seeking revenge. I'll send a few people to help you."

"My daughter thanked her father."

Seeing that Yun Zhong insisted, Yun Shuning stopped refusing and agreed obediently.

Jiang Yu also smiled faintly and took a sip of tea: "General Yun is right, this is indeed not a trivial matter."

He twisted the chess piece nonchalantly and gave Chen Zhao a look. Chen Zhao immediately understood, nodded, and quietly retreated.

Yun Shuning saw his actions and her heart skipped a beat.

She picked up the teacup and took a sip. Her face looked expressionless, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

Jiang Yu was naturally even happier. He put the chess piece in his hand back into the basket: "General Yun, you win."

"Oh?" Yun Zhong lowered his eyes to look at the chessboard, then laughed: "It is really me who won. It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Rui needs to practice more chess skills."

Jiang Yu smiled and nodded: "General Yun is right. I have heard that General Yun is an excellent chess player. Today I see that his reputation is well-deserved."

Yun Zhong was so delighted by his coaxing that he waved his hand to signal him to keep a low profile.

Yun Shuning held her chin with her hand and raised the corner of her lips. If she hadn't seen Jiang Yu's chess skills, she would have really believed it. When did this guy's skills in coaxing people become so perfect?

Someone just smiled without saying anything, and gently held her hand under the table, clasping it in his palm.

In the warm room, there were flowers in full bloom, but in the Duke's Mansion on the other side, there were dark clouds everywhere.

Zhou Yuan held a list in his hand and walked towards the backyard at a brisk pace. Because he was suppressing his anger, veins on his forehead were throbbing and his eyes were bloodshot.

The servants on both sides of the road shrank their necks and ran away immediately after greeting, for fear of getting into trouble.

Concubine Li was enjoying the snow in the backyard with her maid. Seeing his furious look, she touched her belly with one hand and walked over to him with the help of her maid, calling out in a tender voice, "Prince, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Zhou Yuan glanced at her bulging belly, and his anger instantly faded a lot: "It's all because of that bitch Lin Rouan. She just can't stay in the backyard peacefully and has to go to the Zhenguo Mansion to provoke the Duke of Zhenguo. The compensation list is posted on the door of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. She has completely lost my face!"

Li glanced at the list and asked in surprise, "This, this is a compensation of five thousand taels of silver? What did my sister do?"

"Humph!" Zhou Yuan gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "She knows what she did."

"Prince, calm down. I'll go with you." Li stroked his back gently and helped him calm down.

"Yeah." Zhou Yuan grabbed her hand, and the anger in his heart eased a lot.

He had carefully selected this Li, a woman who had finally found her. She was somewhat similar to Yun Shuning, with a gentle temperament, a smart mind, and was neither arrogant nor impetuous.

Now that she is pregnant again, Zhou Yuan is always more tolerant towards her.

But when he arrived at the villa where Lin Rouan lived, he could no longer suppress his anger. Without waiting for the maid to pass the message, he kicked open the door and dragged Lin Rouan out by her hair.

"Zhou Yuan, are you crazy? Let me go, let me go! Ah, it hurts..."

Lin Rouan pulled her hair in the opposite direction with one hand, and scratched Zhou Yuan desperately with the other hand.

Zhou Yuan felt the pain and kicked her away: "Bitch, you still have the nerve to cry out in pain, look at what this is for yourself!"

He threw the list in Lin Rouan's face and roared, "Five thousand taels of silver! Five thousand taels! If you have nothing to do, go and burn incense for your dead parents and don't cause trouble for me. Do you know that just paying money is not enough? My parents have to come to the Zhenguo Mansion to apologize in person. Don't you know that Yun Shuning is now the treasure of the Zhenguo Mansion? Why did you mess with her!"

Lin Rouan was startled, and with trembling fingers she opened the compensation list. When she saw the amount clearly, she screamed, "Impossible... This is impossible! Why should she ask me to pay! Besides, even if she has to pay, it won't be this much money!"

"Open your eyes and read carefully. This list is a document issued by the government. Don't you know that the compensation for falsely accusing a clinic is based on the clinic's income in the past six months? This is the law of the current dynasty! Liufangtang has now become the number one clinic in the capital, and you actually have the guts to send people to frame it!"

Zhou Yuan was almost laughing at her ignorance, his eyes full of regret: "Why would I marry someone like you as my principal wife? I should have listened to my mother and divorced you on the day the Shangshu Mansion fell, and let you be exiled to the border like that He family!"

He originally thought that they were husband and wife after all, and Lin Rouan was still quite pretty. After the Shangshu Mansion fell, Lin Rouan had no support from her natal family, so she had to be more obedient.

However, he did not expect that this momentary weakness would actually plant such a huge disaster for the Duke's Mansion.

"Sister, don't blame the prince for being so angry. Five thousand taels is indeed not a small amount," Li said softly, like a flower of eloquence. "If the prince is not a kind-hearted and loyal person, and divorces you now, you will have to pay back the five thousand taels of silver yourself. I am not just talking nonsense. This is the law of our dynasty."

As soon as Li said this, Lin Rouan's face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

She already hated this Li, who always hung around in front of her with a face that somewhat resembled Yun Shuning, pretending to be innocent and kind, but in fact he had evil intentions in his heart, which she could see clearly at a glance.

This was not an admonition to her at all, but a secret reminder to Zhou Yuan.

As long as he divorces her now, he won't have to pay back the debt of five thousand taels.

You’re dreaming if you want her to give up her position as the principal wife of the Duke’s Mansion!

Lin Rouan gritted her teeth, pretending to be humble and obedient, and crawled at Zhou Yuan's feet and said sadly: "Husband, I was also confused for a moment. My parents passed away one after another recently. I really didn't know what to do. I lived in a daze and didn't even know what I did all day. That's why I was careless and made mistakes..."

"Besides, my family just had an accident. If you divorce me, my husband and even the entire Duke's Mansion will definitely be criticized. As for what happened today, I... I will definitely find a way to make up for it."
