Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Damn It, Now You’ve Become a Cesspool

Sun Hao walked up to the old man, suddenly raised his hand, and slapped him hard across the face, roaring in fury,

"I told you to invite them in! What the fuck were you thinking, stopping them?"

The old man’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. He looked at Sun Hao and cried out urgently,

"My lord, you may not understand the situation! They are the ones who killed the young master..."

Before he could even finish speaking, Sun Hao slapped him hard again.

"I’m a hell of a lot clearer on this than you are!"

With that, he staggered over to Ye Feng, bowing and scraping. "Imperial Son-in-Law, I’ve already investigated the matter. It was that wretched beast of a son who tried to provoke your lady. He was courting death, so it was only right and proper that you killed him.

As for the men who were with him, I had them all commit suicide!

Imperial Son-in-Law, when it comes down to it, this is my fault for failing to raise my son properly. I am also to blame. Please, Imperial Son-in-Law, decide my punishment!"

With that, his legs gave out, and he fell to his knees with a THUD before Ye Feng.

Seeing this, everyone present stared, their eyes nearly popping out of their heads.

’Who was Sun Hao? He was the esteemed Minister of Revenue, one of the top officials in the Ministry. In the entire Great Xia Empire, he was at the very top of the pyramid. And yet, today, upon meeting Ye Feng, he had simply knelt?’

Ye Feng looked down at Sun Hao and let out a dry laugh. "Your attitude is acceptable, and you handled the matter well enough. However, the very fact that you could raise a son like that exposes your true character. You are unworthy of your position. Go and tender your resignation. I will permit you to remain in the Imperial Capital."

Sun Hao let out a wretched cry and collapsed to the ground. ’So I couldn’t escape the fate of being stripped of everything after all!’

Ye Feng turned, got into the car with the others, and drove straight away.

Xiao Yufei and the other two women stared dumbfounded at Ye Feng.

’Good heavens, he’d just dragged the dignified Minister of Revenue through the mud, and the man hadn’t dared to even squeak in protest. Just... why?’

Nangong Xue, being the quickest on the uptake, was the first to react. She glared at Ye Feng and shouted,

"Hey, Ye Feng, I just remembered! A moment ago, that Sun Hao guy called you ’Imperial Son-in-Law.’ What’s that all about?"

Wang Luyao chimed in, "An Imperial Son-in-Law... well, that’s a princess’s husband..."

She trailed off as the realization hit her. Glaring at Ye Feng, her face paled. "Oh, I see! You heartless jerk! The three of us were in Jiangcheng thinking about you day and night, and what were you doing? Tossing us aside to climb the social ladder with some princess, playing the part of Chen Shimei! You bastard!"

Ye Feng chuckled sheepishly. "Hey now, you just promised you wouldn’t get angry..."

Wang Luyao roared, "I’m not just angry, I want to kill you! You promised that out of all the fish in the sea, you only wanted the three of us! Now you’re a damn septic tank! I’m so mad I could die! You filthy scumbag!"

As she spoke, her eyes began to turn red.

Xiao Yufei held Wang Luyao back, her own pretty face turning icy as she stared at Ye Feng. "Ye Feng, what exactly is going on?"

Ye Feng briefly explained how his master had arranged a marriage contract between him and the princess, and that he was only trying to get his Jade Pendant back.

At his side, Nangong Xue let out a long sigh of relief. "Oh, so that’s all it is! Luyao, he’s just trying to get the Jade Pendant back. Looks like we jumped to conclusions!"

But Xiao Yufei looked at Nangong Xue and said, "Xue’Er, have you forgotten? What about the mark we have... in *that* place? The princess must have one too.

Ye Feng wants to gather all the clues, so do you think he can get away with not looking? And if a princess of her high status lets him see that place on her, do you really think she’s going to just let him go afterward?

More importantly, everyone knows he’s the Imperial Son-in-Law now. Do you still think it’s just a cover story?"

Nangong Xue was stunned speechless. Beside her, Wang Luyao’s eyes reddened again. "So after all that, he’s still a scumbag!"

But this time, it was Nangong Xue who held Wang Luyao back. "Luyao, think about it. If it weren’t for his connection to the princess, do you think that Sun Hao would have let us off easy today? Absolutely not. So, I don’t think this marriage is such a bad deal for us. We should just accept it!"

The other two didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. ’Is it even up to us to agree or disagree at this point?’

The three of them tried to console themselves. ’Since we fell in love with this scumbag, and what’s done is done, we just have to accept it. We have to.’

But Ye Feng’s very next sentence made all three of them blow up.

With a perfectly straight face, Ye Feng said, "Actually, there’s one more scoop... Su Youning of Nanjun!"

The three women’s fists immediately rained down on Ye Feng.

Ye Feng yelled, "Wait, it’s not my fault! Master arranged that one for me too!"

Xiao Yufei sighed helplessly. "Xue’Er, Luyao, just stop. I knew about this. That girl was tricked by Ye Feng’s master, just like the rest of us. So we might as well accept it."

The other two women struggled to swallow their anger, finally managing to calm down.

’But a heavy feeling settled in both their hearts. What woman didn’t want a man’s exclusive affection? Who wanted a husband that acted like a ladle, dipping into one pot and then the next?’

’But what could they do? It was their own fault for falling in love with this scumbag. And they couldn’t bear to leave him, either. In the end, they could only resign themselves to their fate.’

Just then, Ye Feng grinned mischievously. "My three dear wives, how about this? First, we’ll go to Hundred Herbs Hall so I can introduce you to Su Youning. Then, we can all attend my wedding to the princess tonight. What do you say?"

Instantly, three sets of fists flew at him again.

Xiao Yufei glared at him. "Stop joking around and get serious! Take us to Luyao’s family home!"

Ye Feng turned to Xiao Yufei, confused. "But isn’t Luyao from Nanjun?"

Xiao Yufei shot Ye Feng a look before explaining, "Luyao is Divine Doctor Wang’s adopted daughter. Her biological parents are from the Wang family of the Imperial Capital. Just yesterday, they found her and asked her to come to the Imperial Capital today to be formally acknowledged. That’s why we’re here with her."

Ye Feng looked at Wang Luyao. "Finding your birth parents is a wonderful thing. Congratulations!"

Wang Luyao shook her head and sighed. "To be honest, these wealthy families are all incredibly snobbish. I don’t want them to look down on me.

If my mother hadn’t pleaded with me, I really wouldn’t have wanted to come."

Ye Feng’s eyes flashed. "It’s your family, you should be reunited. Don’t worry, I’ll have your back. Let’s see who dares to look down on my woman!"

Xiao Yufei shot him another look. "A shabby-looking guy like you? They’ll be doing you a favor by not throwing you out on sight. You want to have Luyao’s back? Save it. We’re already prepared. You just focus on being our chauffeur."

Ye Feng just smiled. "You’ll see soon enough whether I can back her up or not."

With that, he picked up his phone and sent a few text messages, then started the car and sped toward the Wang family’s Imperial Capital estate.

...

In the heart of the Imperial Capital,

stood a villa on a vast estate of nearly one hundred mu.

In front of the villa was a tall gatehouse, and on the lintel above the entrance were two large, flamboyantly calligraphed words:

Wang Residence!

The manor of the Imperial Capital’s Wang family.

Just then, Ye Feng pulled up. He got out of the car, took in the sight of the manor before him, and then turned to Wang Luyao with a smile.

"To own a mansion like this in the heart of the city, where every inch of land is worth a fortune, is a clear sign of the Wang family’s power. Luyao, your birth parents come from a truly prominent family!"
