The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 322 Newlyweds Attacked

The first rays of morning sunlight streamed into the new house through the window cracks.

Li Cunxu woke up early and, seeing that Qiu Ziyue was still fast asleep, gently urged her:

"Twilight Sparkle, get up quickly, we're going to serve tea to Mother."

Qiu Ziyue rolled over, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and mumbled:

"If we're only having a sham wedding, why are we even offering tea?"

Her tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction and helplessness.

Li Cunxu frowned slightly, his voice low and serious:

"If you don't listen, you can wait to collect Qi Yuxuan's corpse."

Although his words were spoken lightly, the underlying threat was clearly visible.

Qiu Ziyue felt a chill run down her spine; she knew Li Cunxu was not joking.

She gritted her teeth, suppressing her anger, and coldly replied:

"You dare! I'm not afraid of anything, but I've fallen for a little fox like you. What bad luck!"

Despite feeling resentful, Qiu Ziyue quickly got up and washed up.

She knew that now was not the time to break ties with Li Cunxu.

She decided to remain patient for the time being and wait for the right opportunity to act.

In time, Li Cunxu might not be able to stand her "troublemaking" and would naturally let her go.

After washing up, Qiu Ziyue followed Li Cunxu to Madam Cao's residence.

To silence the servants, Li Cunxu handed the white silk he had used to wipe the bloodstains from his injury the day before to a maid.

This was to prove the chastity of the Princess Consort of Jin.

The maidservant respectfully presented the white silk to Madam Cao.

Madam Cao knew perfectly well that this was a little trick her son had played.

But she didn't say anything, she just nodded silently, indicating that everything was fine.

Although Qiu Ziyue resented Li Cunxu for taking Qi Yuxuan hostage and threatening her to do things she didn't want to do.

But she knew that Li Cunxu might really need her help right now.

She decided to cooperate for the time being, hoping for a chance to extricate herself later.

She and Li Cunxu respectfully bowed to Madam Cao and offered her fragrant tea.

Looking at the seemingly harmonious newlyweds, Madam Cao smiled slightly and nodded in satisfaction.

The joyous atmosphere of the newlyweds had not yet dissipated, and the sweet scent of the Prince of Jin's mansion wafted through the courtyard.

Qiu Ziyue and Li Cunxu pretended to be very affectionate, walking hand in hand back to their new house.

Suddenly, three dark figures flew in like ghosts, pointing their knives directly at Li Cunxu and Qiu Ziyue.

The gleaming blade shone coldly in the sunlight, instantly filling the air with a tense atmosphere.

Qiu Ziyue sensed something was amiss and immediately stepped in front of Li Cunxu, her voice urgent and firm:

"careful!"

Before she could finish speaking, a dart whistled out and nearly hit Qiu Ziyue.

She suddenly dodged to the side, and the dart grazed past her, embedding itself in the wooden pillar behind her, the aftershocks making a buzzing sound.

Upon seeing this, Li Cunxu was enraged, and a chilling murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

He reacted quickly, moving like lightning, and in a few moves he knocked the three assassins to the ground.

The assassins were clearly no match for him; they could only manage a few blows before collapsing one after another.

The guards rushed over upon hearing the news, held knives to the assassins' necks, and removed their masks.

Surprisingly, it turned out to be three women: Wanyi, Suxin, and Yaohua.

It turned out that their father had already arranged for them to escape the mansion to save their lives after learning that the assassination attempt had failed.

However, the three girls, filled with hatred, resolutely returned to seek revenge, only to find themselves delivered to the doorstep.

"Li Cunxu, I hate you!"

The three girls stared at Li Cunxu with eyes full of hatred, their voices filled with endless resentment.

Yao Hua spoke first in anger:

"You arrested our father and destroyed our home!"

Qiu Ziyue rolled up her sleeves, put her hands on her hips, and said without any politeness:

"Oh, you are really being unreasonable. Your father, as a subject, harbored rebellious intentions. How can you blame the Prince of Jin?"

A hint of resentment flashed in the eyes of the three women, and one of them whispered:

“Although our skills are inferior to Qiu Ziyue’s, why won’t you even give us a second glance, Prince Jin? Why?”

Tears welled up in Wanyi's eyes, and her voice carried a hint of grievance.

"Because you are not even as good as her toes."

Li Cunxu looked at them coldly, his tone firm and ruthless:

"If you truly cared for me, how could you hold a knife to me?"

Li Cunxu turned to the guards beside him and instructed them:

"Guards, take them to the dungeon. I am getting married these days and do not wish to see blood. I will execute them all in a few days."

As Qiu Ziyue watched their departing figures, a pang of sympathy welled up in her heart.

She knew that these girls' hatred stemmed from broken families and their resentment and anger at not being chosen as the Princess Consort of Jin.

She walked to Li Cunxu's side and asked softly:

"Are you really planning to execute them? Perhaps you could choose a woman to be your queen?"

Li Cunxu pondered for a moment and replied:

"What are you thinking about all day? Their father committed an unforgivable crime, and I will have a blood feud with them."

"That's true."

"Also, if they really loved me, how could they bear to kill me?"

“You mean they don’t have real feelings for you?” Qiu Ziyue said.

"Tell me, what do these women have that compares to you?"

Even if you have suffered a great injustice, you still protect me and help me, and you are so polite in serving tea to my mother.”

Li Cunxu grabbed Qiu Ziyue's hand and said.

"Oh, I helped you because of our past relationship, and also..."

"You and I have nothing to do with your mother. It's only right that I respect the elderly, so please don't flatter me."

Qiu Ziyue pulled her hand away from Li Cunxu's and said.

Li Cunxu laughed, "As long as you're with me, I'll be happy. Anyway, I can't control everything else."

“I have a lot of flaws. You’ll eventually get fed up and let me go. Let’s try it if you don’t believe me,” Qiu Ziyue said.

“I don’t believe it. I can tolerate whatever you do,” Li Cunxu said.

"Let's make a bet then. If you can tolerate it..."

"I'll stay with you for a few more days. If you can't stand it, then let me and Yuxuan go."

Qiu Ziyue said.

“Okay, it’s a deal,” Li Cunxu said.

The night remained deep, and the red candles flickered, as if witnessing everything.

Qiu Ziyue and Li Cunxu returned to their new home, each with their own worries.

"Changming, could you move to another room? Sometimes you work so late on official documents, it affects my rest."

Qiu Ziyue started picking a fight.

“Ziyue, you are the Princess Consort of Jin, and you are pregnant. I need to take care of you.”

Li Cunxu offered reassurance.

"Oh, I don't care anymore, when are you going to release Yuxuan?"

"It depends on your performance. If you perform well, I will consider letting him out."

"You cunning scoundrel, how could you do this?"

"Twilight Sparkle, the reason you can't beat me is because you're stupid."

"You still dare to talk."

…………

The two chattered away in the room until lunchtime.

Sunlight streamed through the carved window lattices into the dining room of the Prince of Jin's residence, filling the air with a rich aroma of food.

Today's lunch was exceptionally lavish, with a table full of exquisite dishes, including delicacies from land and sea.

Compared to the Qi family mansion, the food at the Prince of Jin's mansion was undoubtedly much better, with a wider variety of dishes and more refined ingredients.

Li Cunxu and Qiu Ziyue sat facing each other and began to enjoy the sumptuous lunch.

However, Qiu Ziyue didn't seem to appreciate it. She frowned and muttered softly:

"Why is this food so awful?"

Qiu Ziyue took a bite of each dish to taste.

One minute they're saying this dish is too salty, the next they're saying that dish is overcooked.

Then he said that these dishes were just for show and were not delicious at all.

She deliberately picked a fight, her tone tinged with dissatisfaction.

Li Cunxu was slightly taken aback, then his expression darkened.

"Snapped"

He put down his chopsticks, stood up, and loudly ordered:

"Someone, bring the chef here!"

The guards acted immediately, and soon several chefs with tense expressions were brought to the center of the dining hall.

They knelt on the ground, sweat beading on their foreheads, clearly terrified.

"The Princess Consort of Jin said the food was unpalatable. What's going on here?"

Li Cunxu's voice was deep and stern, like a dark cloud hanging over the kitchen.

The cook was so frightened that he trembled all over and kowtowed repeatedly.

"I...I don't know what I did wrong, Your Highness, please spare my life..."

"Your cooking doesn't suit the Princess Consort's taste, so you're guilty. Guards, chop off the cook's hands!"

"Your Highness, spare me! Your Highness, spare me!"...
