On our wedding night, my wife acted strangely.

The Luo family courtyard.

Luo Hongtu's eyes were bloodshot. He was thrown to the ground by two eunuchs and it took him a long time to get up.

"Bah! A government official, my foot! He's nothing but a lowly slut!"

"Have you no shame?!"

"You..." Luo Hongtu tried to explain, but the eunuch had already left.

He could only curse silently in his heart, then leaned against the wall and limped into the house.

The house was a mess; yesterday's bowls were still lying on the floor.

Luo Hongtu, supporting his knees, sat down on the edge of the bed, stared at the broken bowl, sighed, and felt his hatred for Li Shi grow stronger.

This woman is absolutely wicked! So despicable!

squeak-

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Li Shi, dressed in a palace maid's dress, her hair disheveled, swayed in with a smug look on her face and a hint of lust.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Luo Hongtu sitting on the bed. She was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Where have you been all night? I didn't even get a sip of hot water when I got back."

Looking at the woman in front of him, her face flushed and her clothes disheveled, Luo Hongtu's mind was once again filled with the filthy words he had heard last night.

devil……

Eunuchs who eat food...

Oh shit!

You slut!

He suddenly stood up, rushed to Li Shi in a few steps, raised his hand, and slapped Li Shi across the face.

Snapped--

"ah!!"

Luo Hongtu used all his strength in this slap, making Li Shi spin half a circle on the spot before falling to the ground with a thud.

Stunned by the blow, Li covered her cheek, staring at him in disbelief. After a few seconds, she finally reacted, screaming like a shrew: "Luo Hongtu! You're insane! How dare you hit me?!"

Luo Hongtu pointed at Li Shi, his fingers trembling, and began to curse.

"Hit you? I wish I could kill you, you shameless slut! Where did you go last night? Huh? Talk to me! What were you doing dressed like that? Have you no shame?!"

Upon hearing Luo Hongtu's question, Li was not at all ashamed. Instead, she got up from the ground, puffed out her chest, and retorted confidently.

"Where did I go? I went to find you a way to make a living! You useless piece of trash, if you had any ability at all, would I have to go to such lengths?"

Luo Hongtu was trembling with rage, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets: "You fucking think you're right! Do you even know where I was last night?!"

"I don't care where you are! Let me tell you, Luo Hongtu, it won't be long before we move out of this godforsaken place! Not only are you ungrateful, but you dare to hit me? Just you wait, the first person I'll kill when I become Empress!"

"Kill me? Hahahaha, fine! Let's see who kills whom first!" Luo Hongtu completely broke down.

If Li had simply bowed her head and said a few kind words, he wouldn't have acted this way.

Now look what's happened! He rushed up, grabbed Li by the neck, pinned her against the wall, and roared with bloodshot eyes.

"You want to be an empress? Dream on! Li Ruonan, you're worse than a pig or a dog!"

Li was a ruthless character. Even though she knew, she felt no remorse whatsoever. She forcefully pried open Luo Hongtu's hand, shoved him hard, and shouted angrily.

"You didn't dare rush in to stop me from outside, and now you come back to act all high and mighty with me! I just think you're useless, so what can you do about it!"

"You! You slut! I'll strangle you to death today!"

Luo Hongtu completely lost his mind and pounced on Li Shi again, wrestling with her.

The two rolled around in the room, grabbing each other's hair and slapping each other, knocking the tables and chairs over.

"You piece of trash!"

"You slut!"

Just as the two were arguing and fighting the most fiercely, the door was suddenly kicked open.

A squad of imperial guards with swords at their waists rushed in.

The leading captain glanced at the two wrestling men and coldly waved his hand: "Take them down!"

Several imperial guards immediately rushed over and quickly separated Luo Hongtu and Li Shi, pinning them to the ground and binding them tightly with thick hemp ropes.

Luo Hongtu was pinned to the ground, his face pressed against the earth, and he screamed in terror, "What are you doing! I am an official appointed by the imperial court! What right do you have to arrest me!"

Li was also terrified and struggled desperately, shouting.

"Let me go! I belong to His Majesty! He praised me last night! If you dare touch me, His Majesty will not forgive you!"

The Imperial Guard captain stepped forward and sneered.

"His Majesty's men? Lord Luo, Madam Luo, don't even dream about it. By His Majesty's decree, Luo Hongtu is plotting treason and intends to assassinate someone. Li is an accomplice, and her crime is unforgivable. Immediately escort her to Caishikou and execute her on the spot!"

"What?!" Luo Hongtu and Li Shi froze at the same time, as if they had been struck by lightning.

Luo Hongtu closed his eyes in despair.

They knew that Nangong Xiong was going to kill them to silence them.

Lady Li was terrified, her face turning deathly pale. She shook her head frantically, crying, "Impossible! His Majesty wouldn't kill me! He called me 'beauty' last night! I want to see His Majesty! I want to see His Majesty!"

The Imperial Guard captain ignored their nonsense and waved his hand: "Take them away! Put them in the prison cart!"

"No! No!" (Snowflakes are falling~~)

Several soldiers dragged and pulled Luo Hongtu and Li Shi out of the courtyard and stuffed them into the prepared prison van.

......

The streets of Beijing are as bustling as ever today.

After all, since Lin Yi came to power, it had been a long time since prisoners had been put into prison vans and paraded through the streets before being taken to the execution ground to be beheaded.

The moment this prison van appeared today, it immediately attracted the attention of countless ordinary people.

Everyone put down what they were doing and stood on both sides of the street to watch the excitement.

"Who is this? What terrible crime has he committed to be paraded through the streets?"

"I don't know, her hair is all messy and she's wearing such flashy clothes."

"Wait a minute, why does this woman look so familiar?"

The prison van bumped along the cobblestone road.

Luo Hongtu and Li were tied back to back in the prison cart.

His hair was disheveled, and his face was covered in bloodstains, all from being scratched by Li earlier.

The latter was even worse off; the thin palace maid's clothes were torn in several places during the struggle, causing the idlers on the street to swallow hard.

The locals pointed and whispered, and soon some of them recognized them.

"Oh my! Isn't this Lord Luo Hongtu?"

"That woman... My God, isn't that Madam Luo who just ran away from the Prince's mansion the day before yesterday!"

"It really is them!"

"The Li family caused quite a stir yesterday, how come the whole couple is being dragged away to be beheaded today?"

The people were completely bewildered and were discussing it amongst themselves.

Inside the prison van, Luo Hongtu listened to the discussions outside and saw the pointing hands. The humiliation, anger, and despair in his heart completely erupted. He no longer cared about saving face, turned his head, and cursed at Li Shi.

"Li Ruonan! You shameless slut, ridden by a thousand men and trampled by ten thousand! Now look what's happened, I'm actually going to die alongside you! This is the greatest disgrace of all!"

The shout silenced the entire street.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, wondering if there was something wrong with their ears.

Li was already terrified of being beheaded, and now that she heard Luo Hongtu cursing her in the street, her fiery temper flared up.

Since we're all going to die anyway, why should all the blame be placed on me?

"Luo Hongtu! You useless piece of trash! You still have the nerve to curse me? If you could protect the Luo family, would I have gone to the Imperial Garden in the middle of the night? It's none of your business! You cowardly turtle, you don't even dare to fart! Now that you're about to die, you're blaming me!"
