After Kicking Over the Scumbag, the Whole City Wants to Marry Me

Huai'an was surprised and said, "Master, I'm afraid you don't know, the Little Prince is very difficult to take care of. The wet nurses stay up day and night watching him without sleeping. Occasionally when they sleep for half an hour, he would cry and make trouble. How come as soon as he's in your arms today, he falls asleep so peacefully? Could this be the power of blood ties and familial affection?"

Zhao Changdu's heart softened, and he placed the child on the bed.

He sat at the table and had Huai'an report everything that happened after he passed out.

Huai'an's expression became serious. He hurriedly went over all the major events at court in detail, and earnestly recounted everything that had happened in the manor recently.

When he heard that his little sister almost had a difficult labor, his heart shuddered, and his large hand clenched into a tight fist, the knuckles turned white from force.

Huai'an also said, "I don't know why, but after giving birth to the Little Prince, the young Madam seems to have changed."

Zhao Changdu's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, "Oh?"

Huai'an said thoughtfully, "I can't really say, the young Madam is still the same young Madam, it's just her temperament has changed a bit. Because of the difficult labor, she also doesn't really like the Little Prince. So she doesn't hold the Little Prince often. Plus the Little Prince also cries a lot, causing the young Madam's face to darken several times."

Zhao Changdu's brow furrowed slightly, and the unfamiliar red mole floated in front of his eyes again.

A Ying's skin was like jade, flawless all over except for a faint cinnabar mole on the left side of her chest.

Could that woman really be his A Ying?

Also, her cold attitude towards him was very thought-provoking.

Zhao Changdu's mind was in turmoil. He had just woken up and also doubted that he had seen wrongly. So he said in a deep voice, "Tonight, have A Ying move over."

Huai'an teased, pressing his lips, "Yes, yes, yes, this subordinate will go notify Lingxi Pavilion right away."

...

Chu Jiuniang didn't expect to see Zhao Changdu again so soon.

Earlier in the evening, she was dining at Lingxi Pavilion.

That night, all of her belongings were moved to Changfeng Pavilion.

The sky had just darkened when Yilan and Yanzhi came over all smiles to help her bathe and change.

She changed into a thin nightgown and shyly came out from the dressing room. There were only her and the Eldest Young Master left in the room.

There weren't many lamps lit in the room, the pale yellow lamplight set just the right mood.

The man had changed into black brocade robes. His handsome and unparalleled face was sickly pale. However, this did not affect anything, at least in her opinion. Him just sitting there gave off an aura of superiority, looking down from above. It was already enough to make any woman fall for him.

Before coming, Chu Jiuniang had already made full preparations.

But as soon as she was in front of the man, her entire disguise was almost shattered by the penetrating gaze in his deep eyes.

"What took you so long?"

"Just delayed for a bit. Why is the Eldest Young Master in such a hurry?"

Zhao Changdu's brows and eyes were cold. He huffed lightly.

Chu Jiuniang's breath hitched. She came to her senses, secretly gritted her teeth.

She firmly believed in her own charm. She thought that no matter what tonight, she had to make the man sleep with her.

She swallowed, her small face flushed, "Why is the Eldest Young Master staring at me like that?"

It wasn't that she deliberately wanted to give him the cold shoulder. It was just that when he looked at her so intensely, she really couldn't withstand the aggressiveness in the man's gaze. Her legs turned soft, wishing she could just lie under him right away.

Zhao Changdu raised his eyes to look at the woman's face for a moment. He slowly got up, walked over to her, and glanced at her with upturned eyes. A trace of unpredictability flashed through them.

"Does A Ying have nothing to say to me?"

"I..." Chu Jiuniang was looked at by him until her heart skipped a beat. She deliberately revealed a hurt expression and retreated back a step. Feigning weakness, she said, "I know the Eldest Young Master looks down on me, so please, grant me annulment papers."

Zhao Changdu's brow imperceptibly furrowed further. He placed his large hand on her slender shoulder, "Who said I want to annul our marriage?"

The man's touch made Chu Jiuniang's entire body tremble.

She looked up happily with moist eyes, "Eldest Young Master...you really don't blame me?"

Zhao Changdu let out a cold laugh and glanced at her eyes. He pulled her to himself in one motion. His gaze once again fell upon the faint red mole on the back of her neck.

At this breath-intermingling distance, the woman's features were in full view before his eyes.

Even though she looked very similar to A Ying, and even though she had deliberately extinguished several lights in the room, and deliberately revealed the same expressions and movements as A Ying, she still couldn't fool him!

She was absolutely not his little girl!

Chu Jiuniang was originally intoxicated by the man's actions. She thought that as long as she took the initiative to snuggle up to him, they would be able to do that thing tonight.

But unexpectedly, he suddenly seized her by the neck and shouted, "Say, just who exactly are you?!"

The man's strength was extraordinarily great. Chu Jiuniang only felt her throat tighten. Her breathing instantly became difficult, "Mmm...mmm..."

She struggled to hug the man's sturdy arm. Her small face was flushed red, revealing an expression of shock. She simply couldn't speak.

Zhao Changdu narrowed his eyes dangerously. His voice lowered several degrees, vaguely carrying a dangerous aura, "Where is A Ying? Where have you taken my A Ying?!"

As he spoke, he slightly loosened his fingers.

Chu Jiuniang collapsed to the floor. In a daze, she instinctively gasped for breath. Her pair of watery eyes stared straight at the man, "Eldest Young Master, how can I not understand your words? How could I be someone else? I am Ying..."

"Hmph." Zhao Changdu's chest burned with towering rage, but his expression was still one of cold gloom. His tone had lightened somewhat, but it made people very fearful. "You still dare to deceive me?"

"I didn't—" She knew that once she admitted it, there would only be a dead end.

"Do you think I'm that easy to fool? I can still clearly distinguish between fish eyes and pearls. What's more, I've lived together with A Ying day and night. With just one sniff, I know her scent. What are you counting as to impersonate A Ying's position and pretend to deceive me?!"

The man moved his long legs.

"Ah!"

Chu Jiuniang was kicked by him until she was scared out of her wits. A sweet and bloody taste surged up her throat. She violently spit out a mouthful of blood. The bones in her body seemed to have shattered. Her face had also changed from initially flushed to deathly pale. 𝖋𝖗𝖊𝖊𝖜𝔢𝔟𝖓𝖔𝔳𝔢𝔩.𝔠𝖔𝔪

Zhao Changdu was still not appeased. He seized her by the neck and yanked her up. His eyes, as dark as the depths of a pool, flickered with icy killing intent.

"Was it Jiang Yin who sent you?"

"Did he take my A Ying away?!"

"If you don't speak again, I'll make you understand what's called a fate worse than death!"

Facing the man's surging fury in his black eyes, the words of explanation stuck in Chu Jiuniang's throat. The feeling of being stared at by a giant python made her hair stand on end. A chill spread from her head to the soles of her feet. She was so frightened that she didn't move for a long time.

After a while, she finally realized that she had truly angered this beast. If she didn't confess, she was afraid she would really die here today.

She made a split-second decision and immediately started weeping. She pulled at her neck begging for mercy, "I beg the Eldest Young Master to spare me... As long as the Eldest Young Master spares me, I'll...I'll speak...I'll tell everything..."
