As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills

781 Punishment
Madam Zhenguo knew about the conflict between King Fengyu and her friend.

If King Fengyu knew what her friend had done just now, then based on the king’s preference for Ning Caichen, her friend would definitely suffer.

“Is it a small matter? I hope you won’t do anything that I don’t like.”

King Fengyu understood Liu’er Yuanyuan, and his expression became serious.

He could not afford to offend Ning Caichen. If Liu’er Yuanyuan did something to anger him, the consequences would be unbearable.

“It’s not a small matter. I came because Madam Liu’er said that she wanted to come with me to see if the pastries were poisoned.”

Jiang Ming was very direct.

It was time for him to have a perfect explanation for everything that happened to him at the tea party, and not for Liu’er Yuanyuan to ignore it.

Liu’er Yuanyuan panicked and could not stand properly. Her voice trembled as she said, “Lord Ning Caichen, it was my fault just now. Please forgive me. It’s all my fault!”

As she said that, Liu’er Yuanyuan was really scared. She directly knelt in front of Jiang Ming and kowtowed to him again and again.

Jiang Ming did not expect Liu’er Yuanyuan to do this. He could not help but be surprised.

Liang Sisi was even more shocked.

What was there to kneel down for?

Where was Liu’er Yuanyuan’s arrogance at the tea party just now? Where had it gone?

King Fengyu did not feel the slightest bit of heartache when he saw Liu’er Yuanyuan like this. He continued, “If you’re unwilling, I can torture her in public. I guarantee that you will be satisfied!”

The people who were watching the tea party behind them were shocked by King Fengyu’s words.

They had never expected that King Fengyu, who had always doted on his wife, would actually torture his wife in public because of an outsider.

Liu’er Yuanyuan was scared.

Not only was she afraid of being beaten black and blue, but she was also afraid that her status would be gone.
As long as Jiang Ming said the word, her life could be over.

She really regretted it. She never thought that she would be treated like this.

“There’s no need for that. But I hope that you can imprison Madam Liu’er for a year and not allow her to leave.”

Jiang Ming felt that he still had to punish Liu’er Yuanyuan a little.

Thinking of Yu’er Yuanyuan’s contracts, Jiang Ming continued, “And all the contracts in Liu’er Yuanyuan’s hands must be handed over to me. Otherwise, I won’t let this matter go.”

Letting Liu’er Yuanyuan be locked up for a year was equivalent to directly killing her. Madam Zhenguo could not bear it and spoke up for her friend. “Lord Ning Caichen, can you change the punishment?”

King Fengyu was cold-blooded and heartless. “This is not something that can be negotiated. I think we should do as Lord Ning Caichen says.”

“Wait a moment, it’s not that we can’t change the punishment, but Madam Zhenguo will have to make a sacrifice,” Jiang Ming made up his mind and quickly said.

Liang Sisi knew what Jiang Ming was thinking, and she could not help but admire him.

Now, the things that the girl from the brothel wanted were all gathered.

She could tell that Madam Zhenguo was loyal and would definitely give her the gold bracelet.

As expected, Madam Zhenguo continued, “What do I have to sacrifice? I can do anything.”

Liu’er Yuanyuan was touched by Madam Zhenguo’s words and quickly said, “There’s no need for any sacrifice. I promise I’m willing to accept my punishment.”

At most, she would not go outside. She could endure the loneliness.

She did not mind handing over those contracts.

She was the one who had forcefully snatched those contracts. Therefore, returning them was not a bad thing.

“Madam Liu’er, you have to listen to me.” Madam Zhenguo made up her mind and looked at Jiang Ming. “Please tell me what to do, Lord Ning Caichen.”

“It’s very simple. I know that you have a gold bracelet passed down from your ancestors. How about we use this gold bracelet in exchange for the punishment?”

Madam Zhenguo did not hesitate at all. “Of course, you can. Can you exempt me from the punishment, then? This gold bracelet is very precious to my family. I hope that you can forgive Liu’er Yuanyuan.”

She was a little flustered.

Madam Zhenguo felt that Jiang Ming might not agree. After all, she was bargaining with him.

Thinking of this, Madam Zhenguo felt a little helpless.

This gold bracelet had been the treasure of her family for generations.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ming agreed. “No problem.”

He knew that even if he did not punish Liu’er Yuanyuan, she would be punished by King Fengyu.

He had already seen what kind of person King Fengyu was.

King Fengyu was frustrated. He looked at Liu’er Yuanyuan without any warmth. “Aren’t you going to thank Lord Ning Caichen? Why are you kneeling there?”

He started to panic.

If Ning Caichen was unhappy, he would lose his position.

Now that the issue was settled, it was good.

“Thank you, Lord Ning Caichen! Thank you, Lord Ning Caichen!”

Tears flowed down Liu’er Yuanyuan’s eyes as she kept kowtowing to Jiang Ming.

She would never do such a thing again. She never expected Ning Caichen to become more powerful than King Fengyu at such a young age.

Now, her friend’s gold bracelet that had been passed down in her family had to be given away as punishment. It was really awful.

“Get up, there’s no need to kneel.”

Seeing that Liu’er Yuanyuan’s forehead was covered in blood, Jiang Ming magnanimously let Liu’er Yuanyuan get up.

Liang Sisi watched from the side, her heart palpitating.

Who would have thought that Liu’er Yuanyuan would be like this?

In the future, she had to absolutely avoid finding a husband like King Fengyu. He was simply too terrifying.

Liang Sisi shuddered at the thought.

The people from the tea party came forward to bid farewell and hurriedly took the carriage back.

The best thing they could do now was to hide at home and not let King Fengyu vent his anger on them.

They could not afford to be bullied by King Fengyu.

Only then did King Fengyu realize that there were still some people behind him. He immediately shouted, “If I find out that you have leaked what happened today, you will all be thrown into the dungeons. Choose wisely.”

Those words could not help but shock the people behind him. Those people nodded repeatedly, complaining endlessly in their hearts.

If they had known earlier, they would not have followed Liu’er Yuanyuan over. In the end, they got themselves into trouble. It was better to not join in the fun in the future.

After these people left in the carriage, King Fengyu approached Jiang Ming eagerly. “Lord Ning Caichen, do you want to have something to eat?”
