Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

Chapter 231 Coveting My Woman?

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli glanced at him but did not reply.

Seeing her ignoring him only fueled his desire.

What kind of people hasn't he seen?

Those lowly maids never dared to offend him.

Her attitude is making him lose face.

There were still people standing at the entrance, and people looking this way from under the eaves.

If word got out that Manager Liu had been given the cold shoulder by some unknown young girl with blond hair, where would he put his face?

"I'm talking to you," Manager Liu said firmly.

Su Wuli felt disgusted by his gaze, and this was clearly visible on her face.

"If you come with me, I might let you go."

Manager Liu had that unsettling smile on his lips.

"It's better for you to stay in the mansion than outside. It's chaotic outside, and it's not safe for a woman like you."

As he said this, his gaze swept over her greedily once more.

Su Wuli glared at him. "Disgusting."

Manager Liu's smile froze for a moment.

He stood up, walked around the table, and came toward her.

The maidservant was so frightened by what she saw that she took two steps back.

Su Wuli watched as Steward Liu walked towards her, his hand rising to grab her wrist.

In that instant, my mind didn't have time to think clearly; it was like a bodily memory.

She turned to the side, and Manager Liu's hand brushed against her sleeve but grasped at nothing.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Wuli raised her knee and accurately struck his crotch.

He groaned and bent over.

Her hand instinctively grabbed his outstretched wrist, twisted it outwards, and his arm was turned around.

Then, with the other hand, he struck his elbow with a small but precise strike.

The elbow made a very soft sound, and the whole body bent down with that force.

His knee hit the ground with a dull thud.

Su Wuli released her grip and took a step back. She was somewhat surprised herself; this was the first time she had succeeded.

Perhaps the other party looked down on him from the beginning and was completely unprepared.

Manager Liu lay on the ground, his face flushed red.

He struggled to his feet, his expression shifting from smugness to pain, and then to anger.

"What are you all standing there for!" Manager Liu shouted towards the door. "Arrest her!"

The two servants at the door exchanged a glance and quickly walked towards Su Wuli.

The little maid screamed in fright, and Su Wuli was also a little scared, taking a step back.

Suddenly, a muffled groan was heard.

One of the servants was kicked in and crashed onto the table.

Before the other servant could react, he was kicked in the chest.

He was thrown backward, crashed into the door frame, slid down, and collapsed to the ground.

Feng Xi stood at the door, patted non-existent dust off her hands, and stepped aside.

Yu Chen walked in with a cold face.

Manager Liu got up from the ground and saw who it was.

The expression on his face changed instantly.

From rage to fear, from fear to flattery.

He was bent over with his hands hanging at his sides, a smile plastered on his face.

"Your Highness, what brings you here? Why have you been troubled by such a trivial matter?"

He glared at Su Wuli, then turned back to look at Yu Chen, bending even lower.

"The servants were not properly disciplined and offended Your Highness's eyes. Your Highness, rest assured, I will deal with it immediately and guarantee that it will not happen again."

However, Yu Chen did not look at him.

Instead, he looked at Su Wuli, his brows furrowing slightly, "Why are you here?"

Manager Liu was delighted to hear this.

He became even more certain of his judgment: this woman's lack of manners was an eyesore to the prince.

He quickly stepped forward, blocking Su Wuli's path, and pointed at her.

The voice was urgent and shrill.

"Your Highness, I don't know which old woman she is, but she doesn't know the rules and is causing trouble in the mansion. I was just about to sell her off, but don't worry, I'll handle it immediately, I guarantee it—"

Yu Chen glanced at him with a cold look in his eyes.

Manager Liu's words caught in his throat, and he didn't continue.

Yu Chen's gaze shifted from his face to Su Wuli.

Then it moved down and landed on the hand that Manager Liu was covering.

Manager Liu's hand was still covering his lower body; that area was still throbbing with pain.

"Did you hit him?" Yu Chen's gaze fell on Su Wuli.

"I--"

Before Su Wuli could speak, Steward Liu interrupted.

"It's her, it's definitely her." He pointed at Su Wuli and accused her, "Keeping such a lowly servant in the manor is a disaster, I'll get rid of her immediately—"

"You lowly servant," Yu Chen repeated, his voice lowering slightly.

Manager Liu nodded quickly.

"Yes, I don't know where they came from, dressed like that, and their hair isn't even combed—"

As he spoke, he straightened his back a bit more.

"Your Highness, rest assured, I will deal with this lowly person immediately, so as not to offend your eyes."

Seeing his smug look, Su Wuli suddenly spoke up.

"I hit him," she said calmly. "Because he wanted me to be with him and he was going to sell me out of the house."

As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Liu froze.

He turned his head and glared at her.

He never expected her to say these things in front of the prince.

The prince's mansion was large, so naturally there were many servants.

However, as the regent, Yu Chen naturally wouldn't concern himself with these matters. To put it bluntly, even if someone died, it would be as if nothing had happened.

Not to mention that these servants dared to complain to Yu Chen.

Manager Liu's lips trembled slightly, as if something was amiss.

Just as he was feeling a little uneasy, Yu Chen suddenly spoke.

"What do you want to do with it?"

Manager Liu suddenly looked up and saw Yu Chen looking at Su Wuli.

Su Wuli opened her mouth and said, "Follow the rules."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Chen reached for Feng Xi's waist.

The sound of a sword being drawn was very soft, but in the quiet tent, the sound was amplified countless times.

With a flash of light, the blade was already pressed against Steward Liu's neck.

The coolness seeped into the skin and climbed up the blood vessels.

Manager Liu froze, as if he had been frozen in place by something, his eyes wide open.

His lips were trembling, and his teeth were chattering.

"Coveting my woman?" Yu Chen's icy gaze fell upon him, like a snake flicking its tongue.

Manager Liu's legs went weak, his knees buckled, and he collapsed to the ground.

The blade was pressed against his neck, and he dared not move, fearing that any movement would rupture his throat.

His tears and snot streamed down his face.

His lips trembled as he managed to squeeze out a few words.

"Your Highness...I...I don't know...I don't know who she is..."

How could this be? How could this be? How could this be…

The courtyard was completely silent.

The people whispering in the corridor all shut their mouths.

Some had their mouths open and forgot to close them.

Some stared wide-eyed, forgetting to blink.

They looked at the sword in Yu Chen's hand, and at the pale face of Steward Liu beneath the blade.

Then, looking at the woman they had all thought was going to be in trouble, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

Su Wuli looked at the sword blade pressed against Steward Liu's neck, leaving a white mark on his skin; any more pressure and it would break.

She instinctively grabbed Yu Chen's sleeve.

"Don't kill anyone."

It's not worth it for Yu Chen to take action for someone like this.

Yu Chen looked down at her hand, then sheathed his sword.

The blade slid across Steward Liu's neck, leaving a faint white mark.

But Manager Liu felt as if his neck was already broken.

He collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, his face pale.

"Fifty strokes of the cane."

Yu Chen said calmly, "The deducted monthly salary will be compensated double."

He paused, looked at Steward Liu's pale face, and added, "After the beating, kick him out of the manor."

Feng Xi waved and summoned two guards.

Manager Liu was dragged up from the ground, his arms were held up.

His legs were dragging on the ground, and he was still making indistinct noises, so it was impossible to understand what he was saying.

It sounded like a plea for mercy, but it no longer mattered.

The sounds faded into the distance until they could no longer be heard.

In the courtyard outside, it was as if the air had been sucked out, and no one dared to breathe.

Yu Chen turned around and looked down at Su Wuli, "Were you scared?"

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli raised her head and shook her head.

"No, this is your residence, I'm not afraid."
