The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 396 Delicate Little Face

Chen Er gave a wry smile: "Madam, don't get the wrong idea. I have no interest in someone as ugly as you. I'm only here to make a deal with you. What do you think?" Chen Er suppressed his anger and spoke to Madam very gently.

Zhang Xingchen originally wanted to take action against the First Madam, because he saw that his woman had been bullied so badly by the First Madam, especially since there were clear finger marks on Liang Xiaoqian's delicate face.

This was clearly a slap from the First Madam, but Zhang Xingchen had no choice but to suppress his anger because he saw Chen Er winking at him, clearly indicating that Chen Er needed the First Madam's cooperation.

Forced by circumstances, Zhang Xingchen managed to suppress his anger. When the First Madam saw Chen Er's ill intentions, she knew that this young man must have ulterior motives towards her.

"Just say what you have to say and open the door quickly. Who knows if you two have those kinds of thoughts behind closed doors?" the First Madam said rather nonsensically.

Chen Er felt that making a deal with a brainless woman was a disgusting thing. However, at Chen Er's prompting, Yang Xiaoqian opened the door and let in some sunlight, which made the lady feel a little better and also made her feel a little safer.

The First Madam straightened her dress before sitting down on a chair, crossing her legs, and looking at Chen Er with great confusion.

"Tell me, what kind of deal do you want with me? Let me tell you, if you want me, forget about it. No matter how much money you offer, I won't agree." The First Madam really knows how to say something shocking.

Chen Er felt as if he had choked on a mouthful of blood. If he didn't force himself to suppress it, he would probably vomit. Chen Er wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and then looked at the First Madam with a helpless smile.

"The deal I'm making with you is that I hope you'll help me identify Zhao Tianming. Of course, I'll give you something in return," Chen Er said calmly. But his calm words were like a stone that had accidentally fallen into the sea, creating a huge splash.

The First Madam stood up abruptly and angrily refused: "Zhao Tianming has lived with me for decades. I have personally witnessed him climb up from an ordinary citizen to his current position. As Zhao Tianming's enemies, why would I help you?"

The First Madam's tone was extremely cold, as if the air itself had dropped several times in temperature. Chen Er was a little annoyed.

“You need to understand your current situation. I’ve already discovered that Zhao Tianming is hiding a slush fund. Now, as long as I wait for the right opportunity to tell the Emperor, Zhao Tianming will definitely fall from power. Have you thought this through?” Chen Er said.

Chen Er hadn't expected this doctor to be so difficult; he truly wouldn't give up until he was faced with a desperate situation. Chen Er had already made up his mind: if this madam cooperated, all would be well; but if she flatly refused without any room for negotiation...

The First Madam also noticed that Chen Er's demeanor had changed; the once gentle Chen Er now looked like a wild beast.

Especially those bright eyes, staring intently at the First Madam, made the First Madam's scalp tingle and even her body begin to feel cold. The First Madam hesitated for a moment before cautiously asking.

"You can ask me to identify Zhao Tianming for you, but what will I get in return? If Zhao Tianming falls from power, we ladies probably won't even have a place to live." After thinking about this, the First Madam suddenly looked at Yang Xiaoqian.

At this moment, the First Madam looked at Yang Xiaoqian. This little vixen was too clever. Before Zhao Tianming fell from power, she had already found a new lover. On the other hand, she herself was now old and faded. If Zhao Tianming were still alive, perhaps he could still give her a chance to make a living.

However, if Zhao Tianming really had fallen from power as Chen Er had described, then he would have to become a beggar. Therefore, the First Madam wanted to negotiate with Chen Er. Chen Er sighed and held up three fingers.

"No, that's too little. I want this much. If you don't give it to me, there's no way I'll accept it. Don't bother with this nonsense." After saying this, the First Madam held up five fingers, clearly indicating that she was going to make an exorbitant demand.

Chen Er was surprised for a moment, and even Zhang Xingchen, who was standing next to Chen Er, was a little angry. Good heavens, at first, this first wife gave people the feeling that she had a lot of feelings for Zhao Tianming, but it turns out that this first wife just wanted to extort money.

Zhang Xingchen angrily slapped the First Madam and grabbed her hair, shouting furiously.

"You think you're still Zhao Tianming's first wife? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? You'd probably die in this room and Zhao Tianming wouldn't even know it in less than half a month," Chen Er said coldly.

The words reached the ears of the First Madam, which made her laugh. Indeed, the First Madam, with her hair disheveled and still laughing, rolled around on the ground, looking like a madwoman.

“That’s right, you’re all correct. Even if I died in this house, Zhao Tianming probably wouldn’t find me for at least half a month. This is truly my tragedy.”

Although the woman had gone a bit too far earlier, Yang Xiaoqian felt that she did look rather pitiful now, since Yang Xiaoqian herself was quite delicate as a woman.

"Zhang Xingchen, stop saying that. Quickly let go of your sister-in-law's hair. It's not easy being a woman." But Yang Xiaoqian's words did not win the Madam's favor at all.

"Yang Xiaoqian, I know you must be overjoyed right now. Haven't you been waiting for this opportunity for a long time? You were just waiting for our Zhao Tianming to fall from power so you could be with another man. You're such a shameless vixen."

The First Madam said with great resentment.

But as soon as the First Madam finished speaking, a slap landed on her cheek. The one who struck her was not Zhang Xingchen, but Chen Er. At this moment, Chen Er was no longer the gentle and elegant person he once was. Chen Er changed very quickly, transforming from an ordinary first-rank official into a wild beast.
