A scumbag husband fakes his death to escape his marriage? I'll burn down his funeral hall and s

Chapter 197 Chu Ruo's method is still the most effective!

Old Lady Feng's face flushed red, both angry and anxious. She tried to shake off the maids' support, crying out, "I'm fine..."

"Old Lord Feng, please don't force yourself to keep going."

Yu Ling gave a wink to the maid beside her, and the two of them gently supported the old lord as they walked towards the carriage.

Old Lady Feng kicked her feet wildly on the ground, trying to steady herself, but her resistance seemed so futile against several young and strong maids.

In the blink of an eye, she was brought to the carriage, and before she could speak again, she was put into the carriage.

Even the coachman was dismissed and replaced by someone from the Marquis of Anyang's residence.

"Put me down!"

The only response she received was a crisp "Giddy up!" The coachman cracked his whip, the horse neighed, and pulled the carriage away into the distance.

Only the old lord's curses remained, gradually fading into the air.

Chu Ruohan and Gu Junze exchanged a glance and laughed in unison.

Madam Shan pointed at the two men with trembling fingers, "You...you've gone too far."

Chu Ruohan looked at Madam Shan and said slowly, "The carriage has already gone far away. Madam Shan would better go back and check on it quickly! If it gets any later, it will be too late to catch up."

There was a hint of teasing in his tone.

After saying this, the two turned and walked into the Marquis of Anyang's residence. The gates of the residence slowly closed behind them.

Madam Shan's anger intensified, yet she was powerless to do anything about it.

She turned to look at her daughter, watching the carriage that had long since disappeared from sight.

He could only stomp his foot in frustration and think of a way back first; the old lady couldn't be allowed to get into trouble...

On the dragon throne, the current emperor heard the news brought back by Ma Fuhai.

He was taken aback for a moment, then threw his head back and burst into laughter, the sound echoing in the empty imperial study.

"That old feudal lord, who is skilled in martial arts, has become increasingly lawless because of her favor to the late emperor. She even dares to put on airs in front of me..."

"This time, I guess I've finally met my nemesis..."

Ma Fuhai bowed and flattered, "That's right. This servant has been serving the Emperor for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen the old lord suffer a loss."

The Emperor nodded slightly, his right hand gently stroking the armrest of the dragon throne. "Go and inform the Marquis of Anyang's residence. They've punished those who deserved it, and they've knelt down. That's enough!"

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Ma Fuhai replied, then added, “General Feng is still imprisoned.”

"Hmph! Lock him up for a while longer, let him reflect on his pig brain inside."

Ma Fuhai accepted the order and withdrew. Just then, a young eunuch hurriedly walked in.

"Your Majesty, the old lady of the Duke of Shan's mansion is outside requesting an audience."

A hint of helplessness flashed across the Emperor's face, and he shook his head slightly. She really was restless.

"The old lord is getting on in years, and he was also the late emperor's savior. It is only right and proper that I take good care of him..."

A mischievous glint flashed in the Emperor's eyes as he slowly said, "Go, have the Imperial Hospital prepare some calming and nourishing herbs. Tell them that I heard that Lady Feng had traveled a long way and was concerned about her health, so I specially ordered the Imperial Hospital to prepare them."

"Send another message from me, saying that I am too busy with state affairs today to visit you personally another day."

"twitter……"

After the eunuch left, the emperor leaned back on his dragon throne and looked out the window. Chu Ruohan's method was excellent!

The old nobleman was sent back without even seeing the emperor, along with a cartload of medicinal herbs...

Chu Ruohan's eyes curved into crescent moons, her lips curled up, and her laughter echoed in the courtyard like silver bells.

"This emperor is quite interesting. He imitates cats and tigers much more directly than we do."

Yu Ling covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "I heard that the old lord was so angry when he went back that he collapsed. The medicinal herbs bestowed by the emperor came in handy."

"Hehehe..."

Haitang rushed over, her expression filled with joy, "Young Madam, Miss Ruyan has woken up!"

Chu Ruohan immediately wiped the smile off her face, quickly got up, and strode towards the pharmacy.

Dr. Qian gently placed his fingers on Song Ruyan's wrist, and after a moment, he quickly withdrew his hand, a faint blush rising to the tips of his ears.

Although he was trying to treat and save lives, he couldn't help but feel a little awkward after seeing the young woman's body.

Chu Ruohan stepped forward, her eyes full of concern, "Dr. Qian, how is Ruyan?"

Doctor Qian composed himself, cleared his throat, and said, "Miss Ruyan is skilled in martial arts and has a strong physique. The poison she was previously inflicted has already been neutralized. She only has superficial injuries now. With proper care, she will recover soon."

Chu Ruohan was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Thank you for your help, Dr. Qian."

Doctor Qian quickly waved his hand, "Madam, you're too kind. It's just my duty."

Having said everything he needed to say, Dr. Qian felt rather uneasy and left the pharmacy with slightly flustered steps.

Chu Ruohan walked to Song Ruyan's bedside and looked at the person whose face was still a little pale. "Ruyan, you're finally awake."

Song Ruyan moved her body slightly, but felt pain all over her body.

“Young Madam, that day I followed Gu Chengyan’s carriage out of the city and all the way to the Hurricane Inn in the neighboring county. That night…”

She paused, licked her dry lips, and continued to recall: "I originally wanted to take advantage of the dark night to quietly finish him off, but who knew there was an ambush... The skills of those people were no less than mine, and their moves were perfectly coordinated, clearly they were well-trained assassins."

Chu Ruohan frowned. She knew that Song Ruyan was proud and had to compete with Yingqing on her first visit to the manor.

The opponent who could make her look so disheveled must be incredibly powerful.

Recalling her confrontation with Gu Chengyan, Chu Ruohan was filled with regret.

Her previous schemes had all succeeded, which made her gradually lower her guard and forget how ruthless Gu Chengyan was.

She succeeded in plotting against Gu Chengyan several times, but she overlooked the fact that he was a venomous snake.

In his past life, he was willing to kill even his own brother without hesitation for the title of Marquis of Anyang.

That ruthless and decisive demeanor is still vivid in my mind.

This was a well-prepared plan; even if the Spring Banquet failed, they would at least cripple her.

She underestimated her opponent...

Chu Ruohan gently patted Song Ruyan's hand to comfort her: "Ruyan, you should rest well and take good care of yourself. Don't worry about anything else."

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Madam Feng was still kneeling outside.

The Duke of Shan's family was no longer as arrogant as before. Instead, they humbly begged for mercy several times, each time bringing generous gifts, hoping that Chu Ruohan would show leniency.

No matter how much the other party pleaded, Chu Ruo remained unmoved.

Until the Marquis of Anyang could no longer contain himself and stepped into the Hongmeng Academy...
