Chapter 400: Wanting to Kill Lu Shen

Fang Jinxiu grabbed a cup and threw it directly at Lu Shen.

Fortunately, Lu Shen dodged quickly and wasn't hit.

"Are you crazy?"

"I am crazy." Fang Jinxiu picked up a teapot and threw it at him again. "Lu Shen, you bastard, do you know what you've done to me? If not for you, I could have married Cousin Cui or Young Master Xie. It's all because of you that my life is ruined. I really want to kill you, this bastard, kill you..."

She was truly enraged and grabbed a pair of scissors from the table, charging at Lu Shen.

Lu Shen was terrified and hurriedly ran out.

As he ran, he shouted for someone to stop this madwoman.

Soon, the servants rushed in and restrained Fang Jinxiu.

Lu Shen, still shaken, stood in the courtyard and cursed at her.

"You crazy woman, do you think I'm giving you face?"

Fang Jinxiu yelled back, "Lu Shen, you bastard, get lost."

She didn't know how to curse much; she only knew to call men bastards and women sluts.

Lu Shen angrily retorted, "Hmph, if it weren't for your ability to bear children, do you think I'd even touch you?"

"Do you still want me to bear your child? Bah, you're dreaming. If you dare touch me, I'll cut you."

Lu Shen felt a chill down below.

But her words also infuriated Lu Shen, triggering his masculine pride.

Enraged, Lu Shen shouted, "You're asking for it. Servants, take her inside, strip her naked, and tie her to the bed."

Ah?

The servants were stunned.

"Master, isn't this... inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate? Do you think I should give face to this crazy woman? Didn't you see how she refuses any kindness?"

Fang Jinxiu's face turned pale as she screamed, "You dare! If you dare treat me like this, my mother won't let you off."

"But your mother? She's about to be divorced by Zheng Ji, and she can barely protect herself. Why should I fear her? What are you all waiting for? Move!"

Following Lu Shen's orders, several strong maids dragged Fang Jinxiu into the room and tied her securely to the bed amidst her curses.

After ensuring she was bound tightly, Lu Shen personally picked up the scissors and shredded her clothes to pieces.

Fang Jinxiu felt both shame and fury, screaming and cursing Lu Shen, but it did nothing to stop him from raping her once again.

After half a cup of tea, Lu Shen got up, satisfied.

Seeing Fang Jinxiu lying on the bed with a lifeless expression, Lu Shen spat at her, "Bah, slut, I gave you face, but you don't deserve it."

Lu Shen left. After a while, Xia Lian, the maid Fang Jinxiu brought from the Zheng family, dared to enter.

"Miss."

Trembling, she went to untie the ropes binding Fang Jinxiu's hands and feet.

Fang Jinxiu's expression shifted from despair to numbness and then to fierce determination.

Lu Shen, the Lu family... they had ruined her life.

She wouldn't let them off easily.

"Go find me some clothes."

"Yes."

...

Madam Lu heard about the incident in their courtyard and hurried to find her son.

"My son, I heard that Fang Jinxiu tried to stab you?"

"Yes," he said proudly.

Madam Lu was bewildered; how could he still smile?

She worriedly asked, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. I've dealt with that slut."

"Ah?"

Lu Shen explained to his mother how he had handled Fang Jinxiu, leaving Madam Lu speechless.

She knew her son was a rogue, but not to this extent.

After all, Fang Jinxiu was brought into the family, yet he had humiliated her by tying her to the bed.

"My son, she's a shrew. Aren't you afraid she'll seek revenge?"

"I'm not afraid. I'll avoid her for a while. If she gets pregnant, fine. If not, I'll send people to tie her up again next month."

Madam Lu: "…"

"Erya, you're too kind, which is why that wretch can take advantage of you. She's just a womb for bearing children; why treat her so well? The more face you give her, the more she'll overstep. To deal with such a wretch, you need to use some harsh measures."

Madam Lu was also at a loss, unsure if her son's actions were right.

Forget it; as long as there's a grandson, everything else is fine.

"But be careful. Mother worries that the madwoman might hurt you in desperation."

"Don't worry. I'll stay in Erya's courtyard and post more guards at the gate. They won't let her in."

"Alright, make sure to pick some skilled and clever ones."

After tidying herself up, Fang Jinxiu did indeed go to look for Lu Shen with a knife. However, Lu Shen had anticipated this and hid in Fang Erya's courtyard, where he was protected by several capable servants.

Fang Jinxiu, in her rage, could only think of how she used to be a renowned lady of good family. How had her life come to this?

In a fit of anger, she threw the knife into Fang Erya's courtyard and then ran out of the mansion crying.

Lu Shen was still shaken, thinking how fortunate it was that he had been prepared.

This shrew, where was even a trace of her former self?

Back then, she was like a warm, radiant sun, warming him and making him adore her deeply.

Now, she was nothing but a bully and a wretch.

"Master, my sister is so fierce. What will you do?"

Lu Shen felt a soft spot in his heart, grateful that Fang Erya was by his side.

"Ignore her. From now on, I'll eat, drink, and sleep in your room. She won't be able to get in."

Fang Erya nodded. "That's good. Then I won't leave the courtyard either, so she doesn't take her anger out on me."

Lu Shen smiled. "As long as you're with me, I'll protect you."

Fang Erya snuggled closer to him and whispered, "It's all my fault. If I could bear children like my sister, Master wouldn't have to suffer her temper."

"Ai, yes." It was frustrating that she couldn't bear children.

"Come on, let's work hard. If your belly cooperates, maybe you can bear a son for me, and I won't have to endure her anymore."

Fuming, Fang Jinxiu went to the Zheng family and cried to Madam Zheng about her ordeal.

Madam Zheng was shocked after hearing her story. She had always known that Lu Shen was no good, but she hadn't realized he was this bad.

"He really humiliated you like that?"

"Yes, ask Xia Lian if you don't believe me."

Xia Lian was now her most favored maid since Zhou's incident.

Madam Zheng looked at Xia Lian, who nodded, confirming the story. Madam Zheng cursed in shock.

"This beast, how could he treat you like this? When I agreed to your marriage, it was because he seemed to care for you. I never expected him to treat you this way. This is sheer abuse."

Fang Jinxiu sobbed uncontrollably. "Whose fault is it? It's all because of Fang Erya. She's jealous of me. She says we're both born of the same parents, so why should I live well while she can't? Can we be the same? She was raised in the countryside, while I was raised by Mother. I excel in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but she can't even read. Why should she compare herself to me?"

Madam Zheng nodded in agreement.

Fang Jinxiu continued, "Now, this wretch has seduced Lu Shen during my pregnancy. I don't know who taught her those tricks, but now Lu Shen lives in her room and listens to everything she says. This humiliation must be Fang Erya's idea."
