Chapter 354 How Dare to Be Arrogant

Qiu Bi's slap wiped out Zhuang Wei's affection.

"Don't be so rude! Let me out!"

Feeling the heat and pain on his cheeks, Zhuang Wei felt frustrated and annoyed, and he grabbed her shoulders with all his strength.

"Why do you have to bully and beat me?"

"I have given so much, aren't you touched at all?"

Qiu Bi showed fear on her face and shrank back in terror.

Not wanting to see her avoid his gaze, Zhuang Wei pinched her chin and forced their eyes to meet.

"For you, I spent money lavishly on the Qiu family and their husbands, almost emptying their savings; for you, I respected them and was never rude to them; for you, I carefully decorated the new house, showing my respect and care for them."

"I have always acted uprightly, but now, for your sake, I have been scheming and acting secretly. I have always been filial, respectful, loyal and faithful, but now, for your sake, I have betrayed the Yan clan and plotted against my family."

"I can hide my thoughts from my cousin, but not from my father and his family. I first talked to my brother-in-law and took the initiative to propose a trip to get my brother and sister-in-law away. Then I made plans step by step to make Lord Ning stay and leave the capital. Finally, I used the trick to make you come here willingly. Before the opening of Yiren Qingcheng, I took advantage of the geographical location and traveled around Shengjing, booked more than a dozen guest rooms, and set up positions in each room to get rid of my father's pursuit."

When he said this, it was still like a biting cold wind. His eyes were gloomy, dark, helpless, and full of self-pity.

"Do you know how difficult it is for me to defeat them? Not only do I have to deal with the pain of being confronted with my family, but I also have to suffer from not being as good as them. Each of them is very resourceful and intelligent, and they are all geniuses of the time. How can I defeat them?"

"Even with the right time, right place and right people, I still can't eat during the days and can't sleep at night. I am in agony all the time. In the end, you are indifferent and only think about Lin Mu. I betrayed my mind and planned to do this. I cherish you and value you above everything else. Can he do it?"

Qiu Bi felt complicated for a moment, feeling regretful, apologetic, timid and worried.

"When did I ask you to do this for me? You call this giving, shouldn't you ask me whether I like it or not?"

Zhuang Wei smiled, intending to be gentle, but his expression was out of control. He held her hand, his eyes were confused, almost crazy.

"This is a surprise, Bi'er, don't you like surprises? King Di Jin once said that women love surprises the most."

Qiu Bi shook her head in panic, unable to control herself and trembling uncontrollably.

"I feel no surprise, only fear."

Zhuang Wei stroked her cheek gently with his fingertips, as if to comfort her.

"Don't be afraid, I have a solution."

Qiu Bi had no where to hide and timidly closed her eyes.

"If you let me go, I won't be afraid."

Zhuang Wei turned a deaf ear to her and continued to be charming, staring at her with a trembling fear in his eyes.

"I tampered with the orange slice just now. As long as I activate the drug effect, you won't be afraid anymore."

Qiu Bi was shocked, and her expression became even more horrified.

"What? That orange...what medicine did you use?"

Zhuang Wei seemed to be smiling, and besides looking charming, there was also a hint of mystery.

"I expected you to be shy, so I went out of my way to help you get over it."

Qiu Bi felt ashamed and angry.

"you!"

Zhuang Wei stroked her hair, then held her soft and fragrant arms, considerately and delicately, without pressing down on a single strand of her hair.

"Don't be afraid, Bi'er. I'm here and I'll take care of you."

"After tonight, you cancel your engagement and I will marry you. The emperor has already promised to confer a title and a house upon my wedding. You will be honored and respected if you marry me."

Qiu Bi struggled hard, trying to get out of his arms.

"I do not want."

Unable to cope with the situation, she sobbed as if a rainstorm was raging, and despair surged in her.

"Master Zhuang, I beg you, please do not activate the drug. I kneel down in front of you and kowtow to you..."

As she said this, she was about to kneel down and kowtow, but Zhuang Wei used his arms to prevent her from doing so.

His eyes were sharp and as still as amber. He activated the medicine coldly and warned in a deep voice.

"Now that you're here, you can rest assured. Don't even think about escaping before you accomplish your goal!"

Qiu Bi's mind completely collapsed. Unable to push him, she started punching him randomly.

"Zhuang Wei, you are going too far!"

Feeling a little bit of pain, Zhuang Wei became a little impatient and grabbed her wrist again.

"You and I have different aspirations. Even if I kill you, the emperor will protect you in every way. How dare you be so arrogant in front of me?"

Qiu Bi didn't care about her manners and roared in rage.

"Then you kill me!"

Compared with Qiu Bi, Zhuang Wei was particularly calm, but between his brows, there was a hint of cunning and murderous intent, looming.

"Don't be impatient. After this is done, if you don't want to leave this room safely, I will make you stay here forever!"

Qiu Bi burst into tears and everything in front of her eyes went dark.

"you you……"

Hearing her breathing becoming increasingly rapid, Zhuang Wei looked pleased and relaxed.

"I guess the medicine has taken effect?"

As he spoke, he easily lifted her up horizontally, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

"Ma'am, let's go to bed."

Before he could finish his words, he heard the door lock being cut off. Zhuang Wei turned around and saw Lin Mu holding a sword and pushing the door open.

Even though the sword was sharp, it felt fragile in Lin Mu's hand.

"Master Zhuang, stop it, stop it, don't hurt her!"

Zhuang Wei had long expected that for the sake of the so-called political situation, Lin Mu would not dare to speak openly to his cousin and others even if he saw the clues.

He looked around and, as expected, Lin Mu came alone.

Zhuang Wei casually pulled off the two belts of the wedding dress, quickly and skillfully tied Qiu Bi's hands and feet, and let her lie on the bed. Then, he lowered the bed curtain, tilted his head towards Lin Mu, and smiled disdainfully.

"You are so arrogant as to challenge me? Excuse me, Lord Lin thinks too highly of himself."

Seeing that Sister He was wronged, Lin Mu left without hesitation, sword raised.

"I told you to stop!"

Zhuang Wei didn't use any weapons. His toes were as fast as the wind. With a casual move, he was like a huge wave hitting a lone boat. He easily kicked Lin Mu to the ground and took away his sword.

Raising the sword in the air, Zhuang Wei grasped the hilt with ease and pointed it directly at Lin Mu's heart.

"Master Lin's skills remain the same as always, with no improvement at all."

In the blink of an eye, he was defeated. Lin Mu was unable to react and was frozen in shock.

Only at this time did he remember what Gao Jing said.

It was all his fault because he had poor martial arts skills and was unwilling to study hard, resulting in him being defeated in one move today and not even being able to save Sister He.

Seeing how frustrated he was, Zhuang Weizhi smiled smugly.

"Master Lin, don't worry. How about I teach you?"

A charming look appeared on the corner of his mouth. He tore off the belt of another wedding dress with his left hand, threw away the sword with his right hand, grabbed Lin Mu's collar, lifted him up, and tied him to a wooden chair.

He walked away leisurely, closing the door behind him.

"Your father is in the Imperial Hospital, and I live in Changsheng Palace. We grew up together. How can I leave you alone when I am doing good things? Tonight, I will let Lord Lin see my skills and test Bi'er's likes and dislikes for you. This is the right thing to do for friendship. Lord Lin, you don't need to thank me."

Lin Mu's eyes were as deep as the night, indifferent and desolate, with a hint of righteousness and a hint of hatred.

"I have already agreed with her that even if she fails to be chaste, the engagement will not be cancelled. I don't mind."

Zhuang Wei was fierce and swift, conveying a hint of contempt.

"Oh, Lord Lin has a broad mind. I admire him."

He looked at Lin Mu with a playful look and slapped his face a few times, looking like a winner.

"Let me see how you can stop caring after tonight."

Lin Mu gritted his teeth in anger because he felt it was an insult to be beaten lightly.

"She is your savior!"

"How can you bear to plot harm?"
