Seeing the girl's puzzled expression, Wei Tingyu straightened up and carried Zhuang Hanyan to the floor next to the lotus pond before gently putting her down.

"This humble woman thanks Duke Guo for saving me!" Zhuang Hanyan, after landing, realized that she had blushed slightly. She quickly straightened her slightly wrinkled clothes, bowed respectfully to Wei Tingyu, and then spoke.

"Hanyan! You are so lucky!" When the old lady, Madam Wei, saw Zhuang Hanyan's shy expression, she quickly smiled and came over, saying, "The Duke just came to the manor to say he wanted to visit you and see if your illness has improved after a day..."

"Since your father has not yet returned from Minister Han's residence, I will naturally go to greet him in person!"

"But the Duke cares deeply about you, and he can't rest easy without seeing you with his own eyes, so I brought him to the backyard..."

"result……"

At this point, Madam Wei glared fiercely at Zhuang Yuchi again. After all, if the Duke of Wei saw his own courtyard in such a mess, with his younger brother actually trying to push his sister into the lotus pond, wouldn't that be a direct slap in the face to the entire Zhuang family?

When she first learned that Wei Tingyu had come to visit, Old Mrs. Wei was so happy that she almost forgot to put on her shoes and rushed out to greet him...

In order to establish a marriage alliance with the Duke of Wei's mansion, the old lady is now even unafraid of the so-called curse of the barefoot ghost, and personally brought Wei Tingyu to the Gongtong Courtyard!

"Yu Chi! Why aren't you coming over to pay your respects to the Duke of Wei?!" The old lady of the Zhuang family, Mrs. Wei, glared at Zhuang Yu Chi and said, "You were extremely rude just now, quickly apologize to your sister!"

"Hmph!" However, Zhuang Yuchi was definitely a very stupid playboy. In terms of intelligence, he could be ranked at the bottom among the many young masters in the capital.

In his eyes, there was no such thing as an apology. Since Wei Tingyu had saved Zhuang Hanyan, he considered him to be on Zhuang Hanyan's side, and he would not treat him with courtesy.

Seeing Zhuang Yuchi's foolish and stupid appearance, Wei Tingyu was speechless.

Having read the plot before, he knew that Zhuang Hanyan would be bullied by Zhuang Yuchi in the evening, and even pushed into the icy lotus pond in the dead of winter.

That's why he visited the dealer again under the cover of night.

He just didn't expect that Zhuang Yuchi's stupidity would be several times more exaggerated than he originally anticipated!

It seems that even without Zhuang Hanyan's revenge, the Zhuang family will definitely not last more than a few years after being handed over to this little brat!

The events that followed in "When the Wild Geese Return" merely accelerated the downfall of the Zhuang family!

"You ruined my marriage! You destroyed my future! And you still dare to mock me? Do you really think I wouldn't dare to hit you?" At this moment, Zhuang Yuchi was naturally not afraid that Zhuang Hanyan had someone helping him. He glared at the other party and continued to speak.

"How can hitting me vent your anger?!" Zhuang Hanyan sneered, took two steps forward, and met Zhuang Yuchi's gaze without any fear as she spoke.

"You think I wouldn't dare?" However, Zhuang Yuchi, that little brat, only uttered another harsh remark, and the expression on his face became even more ferocious.

This scene, however, left everyone present shaking their heads in helplessness.

Even the maids and servants who followed him were all more mature than him!

"Even if I'm beaten to death today, do you think Minister Han will actually agree to recruit you tomorrow and allow you to become a live-in son-in-law?" Zhuang Hanyan naturally knew how to rub salt into the wound. She stared straight at Zhuang Yuchi's face and spoke again.

Upon hearing this, Wei Tingyu almost burst out laughing!

After all, Zhuang Yuchi is the only male heir of the Zhuang family, and there is no way he could become a live-in son-in-law in someone else's family!

Without a doubt, every word he said was a sarcastic and mocking remark to Zhuang Yuchi!

"Fourth brother, you're really dreaming!" Zhuang Hanyan seemed to think the stimulation wasn't enough, and then added a sarcastic remark.

Zhuang Yuchi's eyes almost popped out of their sockets!

"You still dare to say that?!" His anger at this moment was far beyond what his immature mind could suppress. Without saying a word, he actually swung his fist and punched Zhuang Hanyan in the face.

"I'll beat you to death, you wicked devil!" the guy roared, his face looking exactly like the wicked devil he was talking about, and he showed no mercy in his strength!

Although this playboy knew absolutely nothing about martial arts, he was still a young man. If that punch had landed squarely on Zhuang Hanyan's face, it would have left her bruised and swollen for days.

Even the maids who had previously disliked Zhuang Hanyan were now so frightened that they covered their eyes.

However, with Wei Tingyu present, Zhuang Yuchi's punch was bound to fail!

He simply took a step forward and caught Zhuang Yuchi's fist with one hand! Since the other party had no martial arts skills, this punch landing on Wei Tingyu's palm was no different from a snowflake falling into his palm.

"Let me go!" Zhuang Yuchi, that idiot, didn't even realize the difference in strength between the two of them after seeing that Wei Tingyu had easily caught his powerful punch. Instead, he shouted at Wei Tingyu.

Wei Tingyu would never tolerate such a person! With a slight exertion of force, Zhuang Yuchi's face, which had been flushed with anger, instantly turned into a ferocious expression!

The bright red color instantly intensified!

However, the redness on his face right now was caused by extreme pain.

"Ah!..." The guy felt waves of excruciating pain shooting through his fist, as if the other person's five fingers could crush his fist! (Continuously updating! Please subscribe! Please give flowers!

Chapter 218 Only Zhuang Hanyan in the entire courtyard could persuade the Duke of Wei!

The immense pressure from the pressure on his hand gradually contracted, and Zhuang Yuchi could even hear the cracking sound of the bones in his palm!

Unable to endure the pain, Zhuang Yuchi's legs gave way and he knelt on the ground without saying a word, his whole body writhing in agony. However, his hands were firmly held in Wei Tingyu's grasp, and he couldn't pull them free.

Seeing this, Zhuang Hanyan naturally felt a great sense of relief! Her gaze towards Zhuang Yuchi also carried a hint of deep resentment.

After all, if that punch had landed on her face, Zhuang Hanyan couldn't even imagine how painful it would have been!

The suffering that Zhuang Yuchi is currently experiencing is entirely his own fault!

"Quickly! Stop the Fourth Young Master!" Just then, an anxious voice rang out from the pavilion behind the bushes. Zhou Ruyin, along with several maids and servants, rushed back.

This woman's timing is perfect! Wei Tingyu and Zhuang Hanyan were both startled and immediately understood.

The two even exchanged a meaningful glance, quite surprised by their unspoken understanding.

It was obvious that Zhou Ruyin had been secretly watching the commotion from behind the bushes in the courtyard.

She originally intended to incite her only son to teach Zhuang Hanyan a lesson, and preferably force her to leave.

At worst, he'll just get a scolding from the old master or matriarch! But since Zhuang Yuchi is the only male heir in the new generation of the Zhuang family, the punishment can't be too harsh, after all, the Zhuang family line must continue.

Zhou Ruyin's original plan was quite good, but she didn't expect Wei Tingyu to suddenly appear out of nowhere, which made it even more inconvenient for her to show her face at that time.

Seeing that his foolish son dared to throw a punch at Zhuang Hanyan in front of Wei Tingyu, and still didn't back down after being taught a lesson, he rushed out in a panic.

Seeing Zhuang Yuchi's pained expression, Zhou Ruyin was afraid that if she hesitated any longer, her son's right hand might be ruined.

But when she ran over, she found that the situation was beyond her ability to persuade.

Wei Tingyu's eyes were fixed on Zhuang Yuchi, whose nose and tears were flowing from his nose. However, he did not loosen his grip on her hand at all. It seemed that he would not stop until he crippled her own son's right hand!

Upon realizing this, Zhou Ruyin was terrified. She quickly stepped forward, bowed to Wei Tingyu, and pleaded, "My good-for-nothing son dared to offend the Duke; he deserves to die!"

"But now that he has realized his mistake, I beg the Duke to show mercy and forgive him this time..."

"I promise I'll discipline him properly from now on and never let him dare to do such a rude thing again!"

However, Wei Tingyu naturally ignored Zhou Ruyin's pleas. Who did this woman think she was? Did she even deserve to plead with him?

Thinking of this, he increased the pressure in his hand slightly, causing Zhuang Yuchi to cry out in pain again.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Ruyin felt even more distressed and quickly turned to look at the old lady.

Seeing how things had developed, the Zhuang family's grandmother didn't dare to speak easily. When she saw Zhou Ruyin looking at her, she quickly looked away and avoided meeting her gaze!

"This...this..." Zhou Ruyin was truly regretting it at this moment. She had never expected that her methods would be completely broken under the absolute pressure of Wei Tingyu's martial power!

But unfortunately, even her mother-in-law didn't dare to interfere... She paced anxiously, then turned her gaze to Zhuang Hanyan.

That's right! Duke Wei's actions were entirely to protect Zhuang Hanyan! Even the current punishment he's not letting go of is just to give Zhuang Hanyan a chance to vent her anger!

Although Zhou Ruyin was very unhappy about the relationship between Zhuang Hanyan and Wei Tingyu, she had no other choice at the moment! After all, her daughter's marriage was not as important as her son's hand!

"Han Yan!" Thinking of this, Zhou Ruyin quickly smiled and approached Zhuang Han Yan, bowing slightly as she said, "Auntie apologizes on behalf of your brother! Please persuade the Duke of Wei to be lenient and let your brother off the hook!"

Zhuang Hanyan watched as Zhou Ruyin apologized, but stood there expressionless, accepting the other's bow.

Only after Zhou Ruyin actually knelt down did she quickly feign a terrified expression and say, "Auntie, what are you saying? Don't make me feel so ashamed!"

"I am but a country girl from Danzhou, and I have only been in the capital for less than two days. How could I possibly have the authority to advise the Duke?"

"Han Yan, you must be joking!" Zhou Ruyin, naturally, couldn't care less about anything else at the moment. She quickly shook her head and grabbed Zhuang Han Yan's hand, saying, "The Duke's treatment of you... so many of us have seen it!"

As Zhou Ruyin spoke, she cursed her stupid son in her heart! Everyone saw how the Duke of Wei treated Zhuang Hanyan, but you, you idiot, couldn't see it! Even if you did see it, you didn't care, and you even dared to raise your fist against Zhuang Hanyan in front of the Duke!

You deserve this calamity!

However, Zhou Ruyin's words caused a moment of indifference among the surrounding crowd.

After all, ever since Wei Tingyu happened to encounter the unconscious Zhuang Hanyan at the door yesterday and saved her, he has come to visit her for the past two days! He even just helped her out. Anyone who isn't blind... no! Even a blind person could definitely see this kindness!

However, while everyone else kept these words to themselves, Zhou Ruyin simply said them aloud.

At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to Wei Tingyu's face, even Zhuang Hanyan, the little girl, was looking at him with a very interested expression.

The expression on his face clearly said, "Admit it! Admit you're interested in me!"

Of course, Zhuang Hanyan's expression at this moment was also very complicated, with anticipation and shyness mixed together, as well as some other indescribable emotions.

Wei Tingyu knew in his heart that his emotional tug-of-war with Zhuang Hanyan would be a protracted battle, and would even require a lot of effort.

However, for him at this moment, this kind of emotional pursuit was more to his liking! After all, everything had been going too smoothly, and occasionally encountering a girl who required a little bit of effort to win over made him feel even more accomplished once he got her!

In any case, this is not his true main world, and Wei Tingyu is now treating his pursuit of Zhuang Hanyan as a very real emotional game.

"I only intervened because I saw injustice!" Wei Tingyu smiled and said, "Please don't misunderstand!"

After saying that, he tightened his grip on his wrist even more! This was followed by Zhuang Yuchi's screams, which sounded like a pig being slaughtered.

"Seeing injustice on the road?" Upon hearing Wei Tingyu's words, everyone present rolled their eyes inwardly.

How could the Duke utter such an obvious lie? But looking at his smiling face, without the slightest hint of embarrassment, it almost seems like he's telling the truth.

Zhuang Hanyan was also surprised, and at this moment her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly again.
