Jiang Yan took a beating for the Zhao family, and the more he thought about it on his way back, the angrier he got. His face was black and blue. Zhao Wan Niang had never given him a good look, but now, seeing him like this, she actually cracked a rare smile.
"Go on, laugh, you think this is funny?"
In a secluded spot in the garden, Jiang Yan dragged Zhao Wan Niang in front of him, wanting to hit her. But after a few days of rest at home, her complexion had visibly improved. Looking at her like this, he couldn't bring himself to slap her face. Finally, unable to resist, he kissed her hard on the mouth.
Zhao Wan Niang suppressed her disgust and sneered, "It's only been a few days without killing or arson, and you're already this worked up. Their family is vast and wealthy; getting your hands on their property won't be accomplished with just a few words. For now, take a few days to rest. When I go back next month, you can come with me."
Her tone was condescending, as if he had truly become her servant. Jiang Yan, seeing this fallen phoenix still trying to get back on her high horse, spat and laughed, "Don't think I don't know what you're planning. Are you going to poison me? Or report me to the authorities? Rest assured, I've got a few brothers watching. If anything happens to me or my brother, they'll go straight to the Gu family and tell them everything. At worst, we'll all go down together!"
