Quick Transmigration: Help, The Male Leads Are All Broken!

Su Tang didn't want to have dinner with the devil at all; it would cause indigestion. But her stomach was letting her down.

Rong Jin chuckled softly. Suddenly, his long, delicate fingers caressed her cheek, the pads of his fingers leaving a trail of coolness. It should have been an alluring moment, but Su Tang's eyes widened in terror.

Crap, what does this guy want to do?

Does he want to ruin my face?

Damn it, he really is a psychopath!

Her mind raced with wild scenarios, and Su Tang's legs almost gave way. At that moment, the devil smiled elegantly. "Little fool, you've got ink on your face."

"Oh, is that so?" She breathed a sigh of relief, feeling drained. But in the next second, the devil was back to being a devil.

Rong Jin said with a gentle expression, "Such a pretty little face, I really want to ruin it."

Su Tang: !!!

Rong Jin laughed even louder. He was truly wicked, always cornering people and watching them shiver in fear before finally letting them go as he pleased.

Su Tang was angry, but more than that, she felt stifled. She felt that things couldn't continue like this and that she had to find a way to change the situation.

Just then, dinner was served.

The servants came to remind them, and Rong Jin gestured for her to join him. But Su Tang was still angry; who wanted to eat now!

"I'm suddenly not very hungry, Ninth Uncle. I want to go back."

She sounded pitiful, but unfortunately, Rong Jin wasn't one to show tenderness to the fairer sex.

"Is it that you don't want to eat, or that you don't want to eat with me?" He looked at her with a deep gaze. Suddenly, he added, "Forget it. Since you don't want to eat, then go hungry tonight."

Just listen to what he's saying! Is he even human?

Su Tang was so angry that she wanted to kick him, but reason ultimately restrained her. She felt listless and gave him a casual bow, not saying a word, and left his Hengwu Courtyard.

As soon as she left, the servants around Rong Jin felt sorry for her. Although Third Miss was spoiled and willful, she was actually easier to get along with than those seemingly delicate young ladies. She rarely punished servants or deducted their wages. When she got angry, she basically let it out on the spot and that was it, unlike those who liked to stab you in the back.

Besides, Third Miss was beautiful, so everyone was happy to indulge her little temper.

"Ninth Lord, how about we send some food to Third Miss? If she doesn't eat this meal…" The servant hadn't finished speaking when he saw his master's cold gaze and immediately fell silent.

Rong Jin only took a few bites of dinner. It tasted about the same as usual, but for some reason, he had no appetite. In the end, he didn't force himself, put down his chopsticks, and stood up.

He returned to his study, intending to handle some matters, but he couldn't calm down. Finally, he ordered someone to light a night lantern, put on a cloak, and headed straight for Ronghua Courtyard.

Ronghua Courtyard, named after the line "In the South there is a beautiful woman, her beauty like peach and plum blossoms," was where Shen Tao lived.

But Su Tang was never one to accept things lying down. She was already hungry, and since Rong Jin wouldn't let her eat, she would go out and eat on her own, even bringing Hua Shao along.

So, when Rong Jin arrived, the large Ronghua Courtyard was empty except for the maids and servants.

Rong Jin's face was frosty, and the maids and servants were kneeling all over the ground.

When Su Tang returned, she found Ronghua Courtyard quiet and a little strange. But as soon as she stepped inside, she saw Rong Jin sitting in the main hall.

He was wearing a black cloak, and the teacup beside him was already cold. He looked at her with lowered eyes, the coldness emanating from him almost tangible.

Su Tang froze completely, her half-raised foot unsure when it had come down. Her mind was filled with only one thought.

That was, why was he here!

Rong Jin looked at her slow movements, his usually light-colored pupils now dark and turbulent. But on the surface, he still maintained the demeanor of a noble young master. "Come here."

Su Tang didn't want to go over at all, feeling that every step she took was torture. She didn't even dare to look him in the eye, because even like this, she had the feeling of being stared at by a wild beast.

But the distance from the courtyard gate to the main hall was only so far. No matter how slowly she walked, she would eventually arrive.

And Rong Jin was extremely patient.

Time passed minute by minute, and the large Ronghua Courtyard was silent until she walked up to him.

"Ninth Uncle." Her voice was buzzing, as soft as a mosquito.

In a daze, Su Tang thought she saw him curl his lips into a smile, but the smile inexplicably made her feel cold all over.

This… this was even worse than not smiling.

Su Tang wanted to cry and felt aggrieved.

Yes, she had tormented him back then, forcing him to write her homework, do needlework, and even put on a little skirt and dance with her. But he had also smiled happily back then, and she had been the one taking care of him when he was sick, and she had been the one providing him with three meals a day. Without her, he wouldn't have made it through those years.

Rong Jin looked at her and chuckled in anger. "You're feeling wronged?"

Su Tang didn't say a word.

Neither of them was willing to say something conciliatory, and they just stood there facing each other. At this moment, Hua Shao suddenly stepped forward and knelt down.

"Ninth Lord, it was this humble one who took Third Miss out. If you want to punish someone, then punish me."

As soon as he said this, it was like a drop of cold water had fallen into a pot of boiling oil. The atmosphere changed instantly, and Su Tang was even more shocked.

She and Rong Jin were just messing around. She had basically figured out that he wouldn't kill her for the time being; at most, he would just take revenge for the humiliation he had suffered in the past. But Hua Shao was different. He had no status or position, and no one would care if he was killed.

So, before Rong Jin could speak, Su Tang scolded angrily, "Get lost! What do you think you are? Does this young lady need you to take her anywhere? Get back to where you came from."

This was the first time she had spoken to him in such an arrogant and unreasonable tone. Hua Shao was stunned, but Rong Jin narrowed his eyes.

Seeing that he still wasn't leaving, Su Tang wanted to kick him.

Hua Shao was only stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood her good intentions. He wanted to explain, but under Shen Ninth Lord's gaze, he didn't even dare to move. It was the gaze of a superior looking at an ant, cold and indifferent. Even though it was the dead of winter, he was forced to break out in a cold sweat, and his back was soaked.

Rong Jin forced a cold smile. "So you're the teacher Tao Tao found. You're so ignorant of the rules; no wonder you've corrupted Third Miss. Someone, drag him down and give him twenty strokes of the heavy board."

Su Tang pursed her lips and didn't say anything. Although twenty strokes of the heavy board would take half his life, at least it would save his life. If she pleaded for mercy, the twenty strokes might turn into forty.

The cold air that Rong Jin had brought with him in the middle of the night finally eased slightly under her indifferent attitude, but only slightly.

"Confined to your courtyard for a month."

This little thing loved excitement the most, and being confined for a month was even worse than beating her. He spoke slowly, waiting for her usual flattery, but this time she was as silent as a mute, not saying a word.

His brows furrowed deeper and deeper. He didn't like this little thing being stubborn with him.

But Su Tang changed her previous shamelessness and actually learned the etiquette of a noble young lady, giving him a proper junior's salute. "Yes."
