“No need.” Tao Lengshuang shielded Madam Sheng and Xiao Feng behind her, her smile not reaching her eyes as she glanced at Zhou Wenxing. “Besides, Lord Zhou knows best why this family is here, so why ask such a question?”
Zhou Wenxing looked puzzled. “What does Princess Mingrui mean by that? I was just at the restaurant and don’t know what happened.”
Tao Lengshuang knew Zhou Wenxing wouldn’t admit it so easily. She smiled faintly and said, “Yes, you know best what happened, after all, you weren’t the one who directly dealt with it.”
“But it’s alright, I will settle the score sooner or later.”
Zhou Wenxing’s heart sank. “I understand less and less of what Princess Mingrui is saying.”
It seemed he needed to be more careful in his actions from now on, and he had to deal with Tao Lengshuang quickly; this woman was too strange.
“It’s fine if Lord Zhou doesn’t understand, you will understand in the future.” Tao Lengshuang said meaningfully.
She noticed Zhou Wenxing kept looking at Madam Sheng and blocked him with her body, giving him no opportunity.
“Lord Zhou has a beautiful wife and so many concubines, yet you still stare at other people’s wives outside. Are you truly shameless?”
She felt Madam Sheng tugging at her sleeve and gently patted her hand. “Godmother, don’t worry, I doubt Lord Zhou would dare do anything.”
“However, he is truly disgusting, constantly staring at you, Godmother. Stay away from him in the future, lest he acts like a beast.”
Madam Sheng nodded in agreement, a look of disgust on her face. “This is the first time someone has looked at me like this, it’s truly disgusting.”
Zhou Wenxing felt as if struck by lightning, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at her, unable to believe what he was hearing. “You, what did you say!?”
Madam Sheng enunciated each word clearly. “I said you are disgusting, utterly disgusting to me. You are the most disgusting man I have ever seen!”
“Shut up, shut up, shut up!” The enraged Zhou Wenxing reached out to grab her, but Tao Lengshuang pushed him away.
“What does Lord Zhou intend to do?” Tao Lengshuang’s gaze was sharp. “If Lord Zhou does something he shouldn’t, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Zhou Wenxing gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his face. He stared intently at Madam Sheng. “Say it, I’m not disgusting, I’m not disgusting to you!”
Madam Sheng, receiving a look from Tao Lengshuang, stopped provoking Zhou Wenxing but refused to say what he wanted.
Tao Lengshuang let Madam Sheng and Xiao Feng get into the carriage, to prevent Zhou Wenxing from going mad and doing something.
But Zhou Wenxing blocked Madam Sheng, his eyes crazed as he stared at her. “Say it, say it, didn’t you hear me?”
Madam Sheng was a little afraid of Zhou Wenxing like this, but she calmly protected Xiao Feng. “Lord Zhou, please move aside, or don’t blame me for ordering the hidden guards to act.”
Zhou Wenxing didn’t listen. His face contorted as he reached for Madam Sheng again, only to be kicked to the ground by Tao Lengshuang.
“Hold him down!” Tao Lengshuang gave the order, and hidden guards appeared, pinning Zhou Wenxing to the ground. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Zhou Wenxing struggled and roared, “You tell me, you tell me that Sheng Tianchun is the most disgusting person, tell me!”
“Say your sister’s name!” Tao Lengshuang raised her hand and threw a handful of powder. “I can see you’re sick, and not just a little. How can such a person be an official?”
The onlookers pointed and whispered.
“This person is really strange. He was fine just now, and suddenly he acted like that towards Madam Sheng. He really seems sick.”
“He even wanted Madam Sheng to speak like that about General Sheng. What else could it be but sickness? General Sheng and Madam Sheng have been in love for years, and he wants Madam Sheng to say that. It’s ridiculous.”
“Isn’t that the current Prime Minister? Looking at him like this, perhaps he’s infatuated with Madam Sheng, but this is truly disgusting.”
Zhou Wenxing couldn’t hear them. His mind was filled with the desire for Madam Sheng to say those words. He was not disgusting, he was not disgusting; the disgusting one was Sheng Tianchun, that scoundrel.
Tao Lengshuang could see that Zhou Wenxing was seriously ill. As she helped Madam Sheng and Xiao Feng into the carriage and prepared to leave, she heard Sheng Li’s voice, filled with arrogance and anger.
“How dare you, to treat the current Prime Minister like this!”
Tao Lengshuang turned her head and saw Sheng Li about to slap a hidden guard. She said coldly, “No need to be polite.”
The hidden guard grabbed Sheng Li’s hand and slapped her twice, swelling her face.
This enraged Sheng Li, and she pointed at Tao Lengshuang furiously. “You wretched woman, how dare you treat the Prime Minister’s wife like this! See how I teach you a lesson today.”
Tao Lengshuang quickly took out a large bag of powder and looked at Sheng Li with a smile. “You say you want to teach me a lesson?”
Sheng Li had witnessed the power of Tao Lengshuang’s powder. Seeing this, her face changed drastically, and she backed away. “You, what do you want to do? I’m telling you, I am the Prime Minister’s wife. If you dare do anything to me, I will not let you off.”
Tao Lengshuang saw the Tao family slipping away from the corner of her eye and sneered. She said to Sheng Li, “You are the Prime Minister’s wife, not the Prime Minister himself. Besides, it was the Prime Minister who made a mistake; why are you shouting here?”
Sheng Li was truly afraid that Tao Lengshuang would drug her, and she also feared her husband, Mo Lingxi. Her voice weakened. “Tao Lengshuang, my husband is the current Prime Minister. You cannot treat him like this.”
Ever since she married Zhou Wenxing, she had been able to live a life of honor and luxury again. Therefore, Zhou Wenxing absolutely could not have any accidents, at least not before she died of old age.
Just as Tao Lengshuang was about to say, “You’re sick in the head, go see a doctor,” she saw Luo Yang, adorned in gold and silver like a woman from a pleasure house, walking over. She carried herself with an air of high nobility and elegance.
“Oh, what’s all the commotion?” Luo Yang deliberately lifted her hairpin. “Sheng Li, I’m not saying you, but you’re embarrassing yourself, and you can’t embarrass the master.”
She was truly unwilling. Why should a woman like Sheng Li be the main wife, while she, so outstanding, could only be a concubine?
Upon hearing this, Sheng Li slapped her away and rebuked, “You, a concubine, dare to leave the manor without my permission? As expected of a village girl, you have no manners at all.”
Tao Lengshuang knew Sheng Li was being sarcastic. Seeing that Zhou Wenxing’s condition was still not right, she had the hidden guards escort Madam Sheng and Xiao Feng back, while she stayed to observe the situation.
Madam Sheng reluctantly cautioned Tao Lengshuang, knowing she couldn’t stay.
After Tao Lengshuang watched the carriage leave, she turned around and saw Sheng Li and Luo Yang fighting. A crowd was cheering, and Zhou Wenxing was gradually regaining his senses.
She noticed a moment of confusion on Zhou Wenxing’s face, but he quickly understood what had happened and stood up, narrowing his eyes.
“Lord Zhou is quite infatuated with my Godmother.” She said this coolly.
Zhou Wenxing paused his action of tidying his clothes. He scanned the surroundings coldly, then looked at Tao Lengshuang like a good Samaritan. “Madam Sheng was the most beautiful woman in her youth; it’s not strange for me to admire her.”
“On the other hand, Princess Mingrui, aren’t you meddling a bit too much?”
