Zheng Kaifeng covered the back of his hand that was pecked by the rooster and left Liu Qianyu's courtyard with an angry look on his face.

I eagerly wanted to go to Xuewu's residence, to that land of gentleness, to find comfort.

Somehow, without paying attention.

With a loud "bang", it hit a big tree hard.

"Ouch!"

Zheng Kaifeng cried out in pain, and felt stars flashing before his eyes. A big bump suddenly appeared on his forehead and the pain was unbearable.

He was about to curse this blind tree.

Suddenly, a terrifying "buzzing" sound rang in his ears, haunting him like a nightmare.

Looking up, I saw a swarm of bees pouring out of the tree.

A dark mass, like a dark cloud pressing down on the sky, flew straight towards him with great momentum, as if it was going to swallow him up.

"Ah—bees!"

Zheng Kaifeng was so frightened that he turned around and ran, but the bees seemed to have identified him and chased him relentlessly.

He ran and waved his hands to drive them away. In his panic, he slipped and tripped over a stone.

He lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.

Before he could even get up, the swarm of bees had already caught up with him, surrounding him and stinging him madly, as if they wanted to kill him.

"Ah-ah-ah-"

Zheng Kaifeng was in excruciating pain. He screamed and struggled desperately to escape from this terrifying swarm of bees.

There happened to be a pond not far away, and Zheng Kaifeng seemed to have seen a life-saving straw.

He rolled towards the pool desperately and dived into it.

The bees seemed to have a natural fear of water. Seeing this, they dispersed and stopped chasing.

Zheng Kaifeng struggled in the water for a long time before finally coming to his senses.

He struggled to climb ashore, soaking wet and in a miserable state.

His hair was messy and stuck to his face, his eyes were so red and swollen that he could hardly open them, and his body was covered with red and swollen lumps from bee stings, which were extremely painful and itchy.

He staggered to his feet and walked, trying to find a servant to ask the court doctor to treat his wound.

A burst of rapid and shrill dog barking suddenly came from not far away, and Zheng Kaifeng turned around abruptly.

He saw a mad dog with red eyes and messy hair, staring at him viciously.

There was saliva hanging from the corners of its mouth, as if it was about to pounce and bite at the next moment.

Zheng Kaifeng's heart instantly rose to his throat.

"No! Don't come over!"

Zheng Kaifeng shouted in horror, trying to scare away the mad dog with his voice.

However, the mad dog was not scared away, but barked even more excitedly, and suddenly jumped towards Zheng Kaifeng.

Zheng Kaifeng was so frightened that he turned around and ran away instinctively.

He ignored the pain in his body and ran as fast as he could on the gravel road. The only sounds he could hear were his own breathing and the barking of the mad dog.

However, the mad dog was moving very fast and was getting closer and closer to him, almost biting the corner of his clothes several times.

"Help! A dog is chasing me, someone come and save me!"

Zheng Kaifeng ran while shouting in despair with a crying voice.

Several servants heard the cry for help and rushed over.

They rescued Zheng Kaifeng with sticks and brooms.

With the help of his servants, Zheng Kaifeng staggered back to his residence.

He was in a dishevel and looked dazed, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare.

Wang Suqin came when she heard the news and saw her son in a miserable state.

There was a big bump on his forehead, and his face and arms were covered with redness and swelling from bee stings. His whole body was wet and his eyes were empty.

Wang Suqin was so heartbroken that she could no longer control her emotions and let go of the servant's hand that was supporting her.

She staggered a few steps, fell on Zheng Kaifeng, and burst into tears.

"My son, what a sin you have committed! It's all that unlucky star's fault!"

Nanny Gui hurried forward and supported Wang Suqin.

"Old Madam, please stop crying. The young master is in this state. If you continue to cry and press him like this, he will faint."

Wang Suqin was helped to stand by Nanny Gui, her anger was like wildfire, difficult to contain.

"Go, call that jinx to me!"

Nanny Gui hesitated to speak, and finally whispered consolation.

"Madam, the young mistress has hired 20 highly skilled guards. I'm afraid we can't just use force. We need to think carefully."

Wang Suqin took a deep breath and gradually regained her senses.

Wang Suqin turned to look at Zheng Kaifeng, her expression filled with mixed feelings of heartache and resentment.

"My son, don't worry, I will never let you suffer this in vain!"

Liu Qianyu summoned the captain of the guard Li Zhen and handed him the script she had created.

"Li Zhen, find someone to copy this story several times, and arrange for a few reliable men to deliver it to the most famous teahouse in Beijing."

"Find those eloquent book writers and have them spread the story of the young master and the prostitute in the brothel throughout the streets and alleys based on the plot in this storybook."

"Remember, you have to tell it in a way that is extremely erotic and unforgettable. Since they have no shame, forget it completely."

Li Zhen took the script, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but then it turned into a look of respect.

"Yes, Madam."

Liu Qianyu pondered for a moment and added.

"Go to the brothel again and find a beautiful and capable prostitute. Tell her that the young master has a special liking for brothel girls. He has a concubine who was born in a brothel at home."

"And the young mistress is about to divorce. If she can make the young master completely obsessed with her, then the position of the legal wife will be within her grasp."

"I understand, I will do it immediately."

Li Zhen's expression changed, and he turned and left, disappearing out the door.

Murong Dize, who had transformed into a rooster, was squatting in the corner, staring at everything with his eyes wide open in amazement.

This, this, this is so unconventional, unique, rebellious and unorthodox!

She was so completely different from the gentle, virtuous, well-behaved lady from a noble family that he knew!

He thought back to when they first met.

The image of a pure and beautiful goddess.

But now it completely collapsed before his eyes!

* * *

Two days later, the streets and alleys of the capital were filled with the secret stories about the romantic affair between the young master of the marquis's mansion and the beauties of the brothel.

These erotic stories spread like wildfire, sweeping across every corner of the capital at an alarming speed and becoming the topic of conversation among people.

Zheng Kaifeng stood in front of the bronze mirror, examining his face carefully.

After careful treatment, the swelling at the place where I was stung by the bee that day has gradually subsided.

Although there are still traces, they are not as horrifying as before.

Xuewu stood quietly by the side, holding an embroidered handkerchief tightly in her hand, her eyes full of tears and her tone extremely weak and helpless.

"Feng Lang, you must believe me! These must be rumors that the young lady deliberately asked someone to make up in order to get revenge on me."

Zheng Kaifeng frowned and glanced at her gloomily, his tone full of questioning and dissatisfaction.

"The storyteller was so convincing that he even described the plum blossom tattoo on your chest and the mole in your private parts in great detail!!"

"How could these boudoir affairs be so detailed if you hadn't experienced them yourself? If you hadn't revealed them, who else would know?"

Xuewu's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and tears rolled down her face like pearls from a broken string.

She knelt on the ground, hugged Zheng Kaifeng's legs tightly, and argued with all her might.

"Feng Lang, I swear, I really haven't told anyone! Those details, apart from you and me, only... only..."

Having said this, she suddenly stopped talking, as if she realized something, and changed her words.

"Feng Lang, don't you understand how I feel about you? How could I possibly do something that would betray you like this?"

Zheng Kaifeng looked at Xuewu, who looked like a tearful girl.

If it wasn't her, then it must be her previous benefactor!

He felt a deep sense of shame and anger, as if he was caught in a bottomless vortex.

Thinking about the bad luck he had in recent days, such as getting water stuck in his teeth and biting his tongue when eating, he became even more annoyed.

My mother was even more unlucky. She would choke when eating, and even bite off some fruits and lose her front teeth.

Last night, when my mother was taking a bath, she lost her balance and slipped to the ground, hitting her head hard on the bathtub. A big bump appeared on her forehead, and she has been lying in bed unable to get up.

The more Zheng Kaifeng thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He no longer wanted to pay attention to Xuewu who was kneeling on the ground.

He stood up, threw away his sleeves, and walked out of the room quickly.

He decided to go to the pub to get drunk in order to temporarily escape from this endless troubles and humiliation.
