Chapter 152: Saving Someone VS Killing Someone

Chapter 152 Saving Someone VS Killing Someone

Wang Yiping was not a fool. When Zi You asked her that, she suddenly came to. She immediately looked around vigilantly. She saw that there was no one around and strongly suppressed the anger in her heart.

She whispered, "Don't pretend anymore. I know that you hate me. You hate me for taking your father away and taking your mother's place. After I married, you have been against me in everything. To please you, when you were sick and dying, I kowtowed every step to the temple for spiritual water for you. But how did you treat me? You wicked yatou, I hate you!"

"Daughter clearly knows that mother treats daughter well. Daughter doesn't dare to forget that even for a moment. But daughter didn't do anything wrong to you......"

The two's conversation continued spreading to the ears of the servants in the main hall.

Thus, everyone had a new understanding of Xiaojie's generosity and kindness and First Furen's pettiness and narrow-mindedness.

This chaotic December 29th soon passed. When Mu YingRui came to, he didn't examine his own faults, but pushed all the blame onto Wang Yiping and Liu Yanhong.

In the afternoon, Zi You dressed Liu Yanhong properly and sent her to Yiping Ju. She said to her before she left, "I won't blame you for betraying me for your own interests. But you are on your own now. I think that not everyone will be as kind as me."

Liu Yanhong didn't think that Zi You not only did not blame her, but sent her to First Laoye.

She thought that since she had betrayed him too, she wouldn't have a good time with First Laoye either.

But she thought of their entanglement last night and had a bit of hope.

Like this, she was nervously sent over to Mu YingRui. Who knew that it was fine if Mu YingRui didn't see her? But once he saw her, he thought of the scandal of how he was almost kicked out the house by his father. He angrily rushed over to kick her. "Slut! It's all your fault. If not for you, Ye won't be embarrassed or disgraced. Someone, lock this cheap wench up in the woodshed. No one is allowed to see her."

Two of Liu Yanhong's ribs had been broken by Old General Mu's kick. They were treated by Zi You, but now they were once again kicked by Mu YingRui.

She screamed in pain. Before she had time to explain, she was dragged to the woodshed by three of Mu YingRui's tongfang maidservants and beaten up.

The more Mu YingRui thought, the angrier he was. He then went to Yiping Ju. He saw Wang Yiping leaning against a chaise lounge and staring at the ceiling. He angrily said, "This is all your bad idea. You made Ye get beaten by his father and was humiliated in front of the servants. Ye is unlucky to the extreme to marry a jinx like you."

Wang Yiping was angry too. She was scolded by him like that and was even angrier! She sat up and glared at Mu YingRui. She was about to refute, but she thought of her current difficult situation, and immediately put on a weak, helpless, and aggrieved expression. She looked sadly at Mu YingRui, but had already scolded him many times in her heart. But her words temporarily suppressed Mu YingRui's anger that he could not vent.

"Laoye, this is not the time for us to complain and blame each other. You should think about how to pass this ordeal! Lao TaiYe let you off now because it's about to be the holidays. That's why Bieqie wanted you to communicate well with Xiaojie today. Even if she gets angry, she won't be merciless, because it is the holidays.

"But Bieqie didn't think that things would be beyond our expectations. She is so tyrannical and she hates us, especially you, her father, to the extreme. She will certainly instigate Lao TaiYe to take care of you after the holidays. You should think of a way to appease her and end this conflict now!

"Look at the way she beat Wei mama, Liulu, and Steward Yang today. That is a clear provocation and warning. Laoye, you must endure! Who let it be that Lao TaiYe does whatever she says?"

Sure enough, after hearing that, Mu YingRui was no longer angry at Wang Yiping. He pondered. The resentment he had towards Zi You intensified with Wang Yiping fanning the flames. His heart almost hurt.

That malicious darned yatou! Even if you hit a dog, you have to look at its master. Now that you beat your father's subordinates, your father can't save face. How can I let it go? If I don't vent this anger, then I'm a father in vain!

Thinking to here, he no longer cursed at Wang Yiping. He walked over to her, sat down, and asked, "So what should we do now?"

Wang Yiping looked at Yenhong. Yenhong hurriedly curtsied, left, and shut the door.

Wang Yiping then said in a low voice, "Now, we have to dispel the prejudice that Lao TaiYe has against you. Take advantage of the holidays and pay respects to Lao TaiYe every day! Then think of a way for your daughter to go to Lao TaiYe and help speak up for you."

Mu YingRui nodded and asked, "What plan do you have to make her speak up for me?"

Wang Yiping shook her head and sighed a long plaintive sigh. "I'm just a woman. What good plan can I have? But if Xiaojie can be in trouble over the holidays, I think that no matter who it is, no one will have time to pay attention to you, Laoye!"

Mu YingRui's eyes first shone bright and then dimmed. After a while, he looked like he was in conflict. In the end, his eyes turned sharp. Instantly, his handsome and elegant face turned sinister and ferocious due to his hostility.

The sky was dark and gloomy at night. The howling north wind made layers of snow fall.

In the little woodshed that imprisoned Liu Yanhong, Liu Yanhong had long been shivering due to the cold. She wrapped her arms around her body in desperation and walked back and forth.

Just then, the door to the woodshed opened. A person with a hood on carried a food box inside.

"Who is it?" Liu Yanhong screamed. Her trembling body shivered even more. She had to be afraid. First Laoye had ordered that no one could visit her. She couldn't think of anyone who would risk being punished by First Laoye to come on a cold, snowy night to visit her. She admitted that she didn't have good relations with other people.

"It's me, Yanhong." The person replied in a low voice. She put the food box on the ground. "Yanhong, eat some hot noodle soup to drive away the cold. I put ginger in it."

"Yenhong?" Liu Yanhong was surprised. Although Yenhong was Wang Yiping's servant and familiar with her, their relationship wasn't good to the point that she would take such risks for her.

Being next to Nee Bai, what harmful methods and what cunning people had Liu Yanhong not seen before? Her heart was vigilant. She whispered, "Why are you so nice to me?"

"Ai......" Yenhong sighed a long sigh. She shook her head. "I'm just feeling sad for a person similar to me. As maidservants, our fates are the same. Your situation today can be my situation tomorrow. I came here because we're on the same boat."

She opened the food box and transferred the hot noodle soup to a bowl. She handed the bowl to Liu Yanhong. "Eat it while it's hot!"

Liu Yanhong was already very cold. Her doubts were dispelled with Yenhong's words. She picked up the hot noodle soup and gobbled it down. She did not notice Yenhong's sinister smile in the dim light.

After Liu Yanhong finished the hot noodle soup, Yenhong packed up the food box. She stood up and walked away. "Don't worry. I will bring more food for you tomorrow." But you won't be alive to eat it.

Liu Yanhong almost couldn't see dawn the next day. After Yenhong left, thirty minutes later, she had abdominal pain. She was in a lot of pain.

After a while and after bleeding from her seven orifices, Liu Yanhong felt that she was dying. Just then, two people came in.

One of the people stuffed a pill into her mouth. Another waved his hand and another person walked inside. He picked Liu Yanhong up and the three went to Hundred Herb Garden.

The three people were Zi You, Shangguan LingRan, and his fifteenth martial nephew, Yi Chen.

Shangguan LingRan looked coldly at Liu Yanhong, who was lying there like a dead pig. He ruthlessly said, "You saved her, but you should have always have her remember the consequences of betraying you."

Zi You left Liu Yanhong alive for some purpose. Otherwise, he would have sent her to meet the King of Hell already.

Daring to betray You'er. Really seeking death!

Zi You looked at him and nodded. "I know. She knows too many of Wang Yiping's secrets. I have to keep her alive. But I cannot leave her in the house. Do you have a place for her?"

"Yes. Leave it to me." Shangguan LingRan said without hesitation. "There is a place that is the most suited for her. I guarantee that she will never forget it in her lifetime after she's been there."

The place that Shangguan LingRan was talking about was a brothel of course. But Liu Yanhong was not qualified to be a prostitute. With her appearance, she could only be live teaching material for young prostitutes.

The brothel that Shangguan LingRan ran was actually an intelligence department. Several geishas were Xuanyuan Sect's female disciples, like Xianglu and Mudan. But they were geishas who sold their talents and not their bodies like prostitutes. Some of the prostitutes were trained by his grandfather, the prime minister, to mix in there.

The brothel owner in public was Jun Muyang, but the real boss was the prime minister. That's why Shangguan LingRan spent so much time there. In fact, this was his headquarters in the capital.

Shangguan LingRan saw Zi You feed Liu Yanhong medicine, perform acupuncture on her, and detoxify to save her from the hands of death.

She said to him, "Her poison is cured. I also used spiritual power to repair her damaged organs. But she will be unconscious for three or four days. She will slowly recover if you feed her medicine according to my prescription. She will be the same as before after recuperating for two months. I don't care where you take her, but you cannot torture her to death."

Zi You clearly saw the bloodthirstiness in Shangguan LingRan's eyes and wasn't reassured.
