Chapter 173 - Tearing The Pretentious Bitch Apart (2)

This was really…

Although Yu Wan had never experienced such a thing in her previous life, she had at least seen a few p*rn videos. She was not a young lady who knew nothing, but she felt really embarrassed when she suddenly saw the scene…

Yu Wan finished watching it in embarrassment. So this was what men and women were like. Men’s things were so ugly!

“Young Master, what brings you here today?” Outside the corridor, the innkeeper carefully led Yan Jiuchao to the most luxurious room. He stopped in his tracks and respectfully pushed open the door for Yan Jiuchao.

Yan Jiuchao stepped into the room, but as soon as his feet touched the ground, he flicked his sleeves and closed the door, locking everyone who planned to enter outside.

Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen were good at martial arts and retreated in time. However, the shopkeeper had his nose flattened by the suddenly closed door and blood flowed from his nose.

On the windowsill facing the door, Yu Wan bent her soft body and raised her little butt high. Her butt, which was wrapped in a silk dress, was full and round like an alluring peach. There seemed to be a hint of sweetness and ambiguity in the air.

Yan Jiuchao recognized her at a glance. Apart from this woman, no one else in the world had the guts to mess around in his room. If he had been a step slower just now, other men would have seen her like this.

Young Master Yan felt his blood rush to his head. It was unknown if it was because he was angry or because he was tempted by the little peach.

Yan Jiuchao took a deep breath and suppressed the desire in his heart. He walked forward with a cold face.

Yu Wan was watching with her full attention and did not notice that someone had come into the room. It was not until Yan Jiuchao picked her up from the window sill like he was picking up a chick that she widened her almond-shaped eyes. “Yan Jiuchao?”

In the next second, she pouted and said aggrievedly, “It’s too ugly… Why is it so ugly… Yan Jiuchao, is yours also so ugly…”

After understanding what she meant by ugly, Yan Jiuchao was so angry that he wanted to kill someone! Why was she looking at a man’s body? She was a girl, yet she was peeping in broad daylight. Did she have any shame?!

Yan Jiuchao resisted the urge to strangle Yu Wan to death and coldly threw her back onto the chair. He held onto the armrests on both sides and pressed his tall body down. He gritted his teeth and looked at her. “You… you have such a fetish!”

“I didn’t.” Yu Wan turned her head to avoid his bewitching aura. She thought of something and looked at him. “By the way, Yan Jiuchao, weren’t you punished to reflect on your mistakes? Why did you come out?”

Yan Jiuchao said coldly, “Don’t interrupt me! If I hadn’t come out, I wouldn’t have known that you were so… so shameless! Can’t you… endure it?”

“… What?” The more Yu Wan listened, the more she felt that something was wrong.

Yan Jiuchao was so angry that his chest was heaving violently. “Even if you’re feeling lonely, you shouldn’t… come to my room.”

Wait, this room belonged to Yan Jiuchao? She should have guessed long ago that anyone who could afford such a “presidential suite” was either Yan Jiuchao or a prince of the palace. However, she was too pitiful. She had only followed Mrs. Bai, but she had actually offended Yan Jiuchao. In all honesty, she really wasn’t here to get a room with Yan Jiuchao!

This time, Yu Wan was determined not to take the blame. She decided to tell Yan Jiuchao the whole story of her helping Bai Tang. However, when she met Yan Jiuchao’s “try it if you want to die” gaze, she could not say anything.

No matter what, backbone was not as important as brains, right?

Yan Jiuchao said coldly, “Put away your thoughts. I won’t fall for your tricks. I’m not as shameless as you!”

“Yan Jiuchao.”

“What tricks are you up to now?”

Yu Wan glanced at his lower abdomen. “Don’t you have a reaction?”

The frozen Yan Jiuchao: “…”

… .

On the other hand, Mrs. Bai and her lover had been together for two to four hours and had obtained great satisfaction both physically and mentally. The anger she had felt from Bai Tang had also mostly dissipated. However, when she thought about how she would have to face that annoying father-and-daughter pair when she returned, impatience flashed across Mrs. Bai’s face.

“Why? Are you still bothered by that girl? What’s there to be annoyed about? Just get rid of her,” the man said as he kissed her face.

If it were anyone else, Mrs. Bai would have been annoyed. However, Mrs. Bai had only experienced the joy of being a woman from this man. No matter what he interfered with, she would gladly accept it.

Mrs. Bai snuggled into his arms and said coquettishly, “I don’t know what that girl thought of, but she actually pretended to have smallpox. Even the doctor can’t tell the difference!”

“Just bribe a few doctors! Just say that she did not have smallpox and that she’ll be fine after recuperating!” The man said indifferently.

Mrs. Bai snorted. “Easy for you to say. Do you think she doesn’t have a father?”

The man pinched her waist playfully. “Hasn’t her father always been on your side?”

Mrs. Bai moaned and said angrily, “He’s on my side, but she’s his biological daughter after all. At this time, it’s useless no matter how much I do. I can bribe ten doctors, but there are a hundred or a thousand doctors in the Capital. Can I bribe all of them?”

The man clicked his tongue and said, “Did that girl make you stupid? The doctor diagnosed that girl with smallpox, but people with smallpox can die. If she doesn’t die in a month, two months, or a year, is this still smallpox?”

Mrs. Bai sat up straight. “That’s right. Why didn’t I think of that?”

The man continued, “You just have to stabilize the Chen family. It’s all an act. Sooner or later, she’ll expose herself! Besides, if I’m not wrong, she must have taken medicine to make herself show symptoms of smallpox. It’s fine in the short term, but as time passes, she’ll really lose her life. She won’t be stupid enough to kill herself. Let’s see who can’t hold it in first.”

Mrs. Bai returned to the Bai Manor in a good mood.

She went to Bai Tang’s room. The servants in the house were wearing veils and gloves, and all of them were trembling with fear. However, Mrs. Bai knew that she was pretending to be sick, so she walked forward without hiding anything. She took the bowl of medicine on the table and sat down by the bed. “You have contracted smallpox. As your mother, I’m very heartbroken. I’m sure you’ve heard about the Chen family coming to cancel the engagement. You really have to thank me, your mother, for helping you stabilize the Chen family.”

Bai Tang paused.

Mrs. Bai continued, “The Chen family said that you should recuperate well. When you’ve recovered, they’ll let your cousin come and marry you. If you’re sick for a year, your cousin will wait for you for a year. If you’re sick for two years, your cousin will wait for you for two years. If you’re sick for the rest of your life… your cousin will first take in a few concubines and give birth to a few illegitimate children. I think Master has nothing to say.”

The moment Mrs. Bai left, Bai Tang threw the medicine bowl onto the ground!

That night, Bai Tang was furious for most of the night. The things in the house were smashed into pieces and she even hit the maidservant who served her.

Mrs. Bai was right. The medicine that Yu Wan gave Bai Tang was non-poisonous in the short term. But it could not be used for more than half a month. Otherwise, it would bring great damage to her internal organs. The reason why the Chen family came looking for her the next day was because Bai Tang had asked Steward Ding to spread the news to the Chen family.

However, Steward Ding had only attacked once and had been obedient since. Therefore, Mrs. Bai did not have any evidence against him.

However, there was no need to catch anyone’s weakness now. Mrs. Bai only needed to wait for Bai Tang to stop pretending.

“Madam.” On the third day, the maidservant in Bai Tang’s room came over. “Miss wants to see you.”

Mrs. Bai put down the hairpin she had chosen and went to Bai Tang’s room.

Bai Tang sat quietly at the head of the bed. Her face was haggard and she looked withered. There was a bowl of medicine on the table.

Mrs. Bai asked indifferently, “Why aren’t you drinking medicine again? If Master finds out, he’ll blame me for letting the servants neglect you.”

“What exactly will it take for you to make the Chen family break off the engagement?” Bai Tang asked weakly.

“Get out.”

“Yes.”

The maidservants left respectfully.

Mrs. Bai came to the bed and picked up the bowl of cold medicine. “What’s wrong with the Chen family?”

Bai Tang said, “I’m only asking you this. If I’m willing to give you half of my mother’s dowry, are you willing to persuade my father to cancel the engagement with the Chen family?”

Mrs. Bai smiled but didn’t say anything.

Bai Tang said, “Sixty percent.”

Mrs. Bai remained silent.

“Seventy percent!”

“Eighty… eighty percent! Eighty percent should be fine, right? I won’t snatch my brother’s assets from him. As long as you can cancel the engagement with the Chen family… I… I…” Bai Tang lowered her head.

Mrs. Bai said gently, “Drink the medicine obediently first. Your health is more important.”

Bai Tang said anxiously, “Why didn’t you agree? Could it be that the Chen family gave you more than I promised? Or do you want to poison me?”

“How could I poison you?” Mrs. Bai took a sip of medicine indifferently. “Look, isn’t it not poisonous?”

“Go! I don’t want to see you!” Bai Tang turned around and lay down with her back facing Mrs. Bai. She pulled the blanket over her head.

Mrs. Bai smiled, put down the medicine bowl, and left.

After confirming that she had left, Bai Tang stood up and pulled open the curtain beside the cabinet. “How do you know she won’t agree? What if she does?”

Yu Wan said, “Silly child, although your mother has a lot of dowry, most of it is still the Bai Manor’s assets. Even if your father only gives you a small portion, it’s enough to make people envious. When you marry into the Chen family, these will all be hers.”

“This vicious woman!” Bai Tang cursed.

“She drank the medicine, right?” Yu Wan asked.

Bai Tang said, “She only took a small sip. Is it enough?”

Yu Wan smiled. “I increased the dosage by ten times according to Grandpa Bao’s medical book. A small sip is enough for her to suffer. The rest is up to you.”

Bai Tang puffed up her chest. “I’m good at this. Don’t worry!”

Yu Wan flipped out of the Bai Manor.

“Are you alright?” Yu Feng caught her outside the manor wall.

Yu Wan shook her head and smiled. “I’m fine. I’ll be busy soon. Big Brother, quickly prepare.”

“Yes!” Yu Feng nodded firmly.

Just as Yu Wan left, Bai Tang asked the maidservant to call Old Master Bai over.

Old Master Bai had been angered by Bai Tang previously, but now that Bai Tang was so ill, his heart ached.

Old Master Bai put on his gloves and covered his mouth and nose with a cotton cloth. He sat at the head of Bai Tang’s bed and said, “It’s so late. Are you feeling unwell?”

Bai Tang shook her head weakly, her eyes turning red. “Dad…”

The way she called him Dad made Old Master Bai’s heart ache. He could no longer remember when his daughter had looked at him with such a weak gaze. He had almost forgotten that Bai Tang was once a delicate and soft little daughter who loved to wheedle and cry in his arms.

“Am I about to die…” Bai Tang asked with tears in her eyes.

Old Master Bai said with heartache, “No Tang’er, you won’t die. I will ask the best doctor in the Capital to treat you. He will definitely treat you!”

Bai Tang shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. “It’s useless, Dad… Smallpox can’t be cured…”

Old Master Bai’s eyes burned. “I will definitely treat you!”

“Dad… I’m sorry… I was too insensible in the past… I always made you angry… I… I only understood that you are the person who dotes on me the most in the world… when I’m on my… deathbed…” Bai Tang said as tears rolled down her face.

Old Master Bai felt uncomfortable.

“Master!” Mrs. Bai’s maidservant, Hong Xing, came over.

Old Master Bai wiped the tears from his eyes and turned around with a serious expression. “What is it?”

Hong Xing was shocked by Master’s appearance. Has the Master cried? Was Miss dead?

“I’m asking you a question!” Old Master Bai said sternly.

Hong Xing quickly lowered her head. “Madam invites you over.”

Old Master Bai looked at Bai Tang, who was lying on the hospital bed. Bai Tang did not fly into a rage when she heard Mrs. Bai’s name like usual. She only looked at Old Master Bai reluctantly, as if she was looking at the most important person in her life.

My daughter might really not be able to make it… Old Master Bai thought sadly.

“Go tell Madam that we’ll talk tomorrow. I’ll stay here and watch over Tang’er tonight.”

As a father, he had to at least send his daughter off.

“…Yes.” Hong Xing left the room in surprise and conveyed Old Master Bai’s words.

Mrs. Bai seemed to be enduring immense pain as her face flushed red. “Did Master really say that he would stay at Miss’s side tonight?”

Hong Xing nodded. “Yes, from the looks of it, Miss can’t make it.”

In the past, Mrs. Bai would have guessed that Bai Tang would not die so easily. However, for some reason, she was agitated tonight and could not calm down.

Mrs. Bai took a deep breath and suppressed the heat in her body. “I’m going out for a while… to… to find a doctor for Miss.”

As soon as Mrs. Bai left, Yu Feng chased after her.

Half an hour later, Yu Wan flipped into Bai Tang’s courtyard. She fumbled under the windowsill and gestured to Bai Tang.

Bai Tang grabbed Old Master Bai’s hand and said, “Dad… I want to eat Zhongcui Pavilion’s glutinous rice balls.”

Old Master Bai thought that Bai Tang was about to die, so he naturally would not refuse her request. “Okay… I will get someone to buy it!”

Bai Tang sobbed. “I want to eat with you… This might be… my last meal with you, Dad…”

How could Old Master Bai reject her? He immediately ordered someone to prepare a carriage and brought Bai Tang to Zhongcui Pavilion.

Along the way, Bai Tang was greedily admiring the scenery along the way. In Bai Tang’s words, this might be the last time she sees the prosperity of the Capital.

Zhongcui Pavilion was on the same street as the high-end teahouse. When they passed by the teahouse, Bai Tang said in surprise, “Dad… I think I saw Mother just now.”

This “mother” made Old Master Bai very happy.

Old Master Bai said gently, “You must be mistaken. Why is your mother here?”

Bai Tang said seriously, “It’s true. I saw her go in.”

Old Master Bai frowned. Didn’t Mrs. Bai go to find a doctor for Tang’er? Why did she come to the tea shop? Did Tang’er see wrongly, or—

Old Master Bai felt an inexplicable sense of displeasure in his heart. Tang’er was so sick, but she didn’t go to find a doctor for her but came to such a place. What was so important that she didn’t even care about Tang’er’s illness?

Old Master Bai alighted from the carriage and walked towards the teahouse. She was not in the lobby on the first floor, so Old Master Bai went to the second floor. He walked around the room but did not see Mrs. Bai.

“Tang’er is having a fever that she’s confused. Of course she’s seeing things.” Old Master Bai laughed at himself. Just as he was about to turn around and go downstairs, a burst of laughter came from the room behind him. “Darling Heng, you’re really bad!”

This voice!

Old Master Bai’s eyebrows twitched!

The man chuckled. “I’m bad? Or is Little Fengxian bad?”

Chen Fengxian, that’s Mrs. Bai’s name!

Old Master Bai felt a bolt from the blue flash across his head. All the blood in his body froze. He took two steps forward in disbelief and stared fixedly at the closed door.

“Am I better or your master?”

“Why are you comparing yourself to him? He’s old and useless. How can he compare to you?”

“Then why don’t you leave him and follow me?”

“Didn’t I already follow you?”

“I want you to belong to me completely!” The man said domineeringly.

“And you say you’re not bad!” The woman was overjoyed by these domineering and sweet words and started fooling around with the man again.

Old Master Bai was so angry that his veins bulged. He kicked open the door!
