Chapter 86: Chapter 87: The Marquis Has Kidney Deficiency
Chu Yu felt unable to save face and thought that Shao He was humiliating him, which ignited a nameless rage in his heart.

Thinking back on Pei Huaianâs protection of her, he blurted out accusingly, âSo, whose things do you fancy? Is it Yun Qian, Yan Ze, or Pei Huaian?â
As soon as Chu Yu had spoken, he regretted it, but since the damage was done, he had no choice but to brace himself and look at Shao He.
Upon hearing this, a trace of amusement flickered in Shao Heâs eyes, and she mockingly retorted with ease, âWhosever it is, itâs cleaner than anything from your Marquis Pingnanâs Mansion.â
Chu Yu felt even more indignant upon hearing this, his teeth clenched in fury as he glared at Shao He, wishing he could tear her to pieces.
âWhat a lowly woman, thinking you can climb up the branches and become a phoenix? You donât even weigh your own worth, what a daydream!â
...
However, Shao He didnât take Chu Yu seriously at all and replied with indifferent mockery, âWhether itâs a daydream, we will see in time. Thereâs no need for you to worry about it.â
Chu Yu felt as if a huge stone was blocking his chest, making him extremely uncomfortable.
Chu Yu took several deep breaths to calm himself, trying to suppress the volatile emotion within, âDo you know who Pei Huaian is?â
âWhat does his identity have to do with me?â Shao He spoke with displeasure.
In fact, she had already guessed that Pei Huaianâs identity must be related to someone in the Royal Family.
âHe is a Prince, how could someone like you, a woman who has given birth, be worthy of him? Even if this Prince has his heart set on you, itâs pointless, you wonât even be able to enter the doorstep of the Princeâs Residence!â Chu Yu kept belittling Shao He, as it was the only way for him to feel better.
Shao He was slightly taken aback upon learning that Pei Huaian was a Prince, having anticipated this in her heart, but still felt a hint of surprise when confirmed.
âSurprised? Do you feel played? From the heights of his position, he ended up fancying a woman like you, truly a masochistic act.â
Yun Qian, unable to listen any longer, stood up and angrily countered, âDoesnât the Marquis think his words are a bit too much?â
âOh, another knight in shining armor? I didnât expect you have so many men around you,â Chu Yu seized the opportunity to mock her.
âWhen saying that, the Marquis might want to examine himself first. You have plenty of women around you, too. Do only officials have the right to set fires, while commoners canât even light lamps?â
Yun Qian had always been a gentleman, never having argued with anyone before. This was his first time engaging in such a spat, and yet his words were quite choking.
Shao He, still pondering over Pei Huaianâs identity, absently echoed, âYeah, the Marquis is also one to embrace different women.â
âHow could I be compared with someone as lowly as you?â
Shao Heâs expression darkened, and with an icy tone, she retorted, âOh? So you think sleeping with you would dirty a person?â
Chu Yu, stung by the jab, was both furious and embarrassed, left speechless by the retort.
Shao He turned to Luo Jiner and continued, âBy that logic, Luo Jiner isnât clean either. Youâre all filthy people.â
âYouâre the filthy one,â Luo Jinerâs face stiffened, her lips pressed tightly as she spoke.
âI wish you dogs and bitches happiness together, forever and ever,â the smile on Shao Heâs lips slowly widened.
Yun Qianâs lips twitched slightlyâhe really didnât expect her to dare say anything.
Chu Yu, in a towering rage and about to physically attack her, found his wrist caught and twisted. Then he heard Shao Heâs mocking voice, âWhatâs wrong, did I strike a nerve and now youâre angry enough to hit someone? Is that all the ability the Marquis has?â
Chu Yuâs face reddened with pain, and after a long struggle, he managed to squeeze out, âLet go!â
âLet go? Ha, I advise the Marquis to hurry back and clean himself up, lest he pollute the eyes of others.â Shao He threw off his hand, wiping hers with her handkerchief in disgust.
âDonât think just because you have a backer, you can be arrogant. There will come a day when youâll regret this! You are nothing more than someone elseâs plaything!â Chu Yu had never been so humiliated, his complexion turned livid, and he glared fiercely at Shao He.
Shao He lifted her fist and stopped it just an inch from Chu Yuâs eye.
Chu Yu, caught off guard, was startled into stillness for a moment; even Luo Jiner was so scared that she covered her mouth.
Yun Qian grabbed Shao Heâs arm, urging her, âDonât be impulsive.â
Arguing was one thing, but if it came to blows, Shao He would be at a disadvantage.
Chu Yu, with a dark expression, pushed Yun Qian away, grabbed Shao Heâs arm, and tried to choke her. Shao He sidestepped while simultaneously delivering a swift, precise, and fierce kick to Chu Yuâs abdomen.
Chu Yu, in pain, let go of his hold and staggered back two steps, gasping for breath.
Chu Yu glared at Shao He venomously, his eyes red as if he was a wild beast, bellowing, âYou dare to hit me?â
Shao He took the opportunity to break free from Chu Yuâs grasp, steadied herself, crossed her arms loftily, and looked down at him, saying calmly, âYou have slandered my reputation; why shouldnât I hit you? Besides, the Marquis was the one who made the first moveâI had no choice but to defend myself.â
Shao He noticed that Chu Yu had been unsteady, with slow reaction times. The kick wasnât heavy, and with Chu Yuâs martial arts, he would not have stumbled back like that. The reason he retreated was because his footing was off balance and he was lackluster in spirit.
It was obvious he hadnât been behaving recently, and, if her guess was correct, he was now weak from kidney deficiency, likely due to too frequent indulgence in bed activities.
âI would advise the Marquis not to engage in such frequent bed activities for a while. You have to exercise self-control, otherwise, youâll be ruined as a man.â
