Chapter 243: Chapter 252: Eager to Give It a Try

Ah Qing is not one to “pity fragrant and cherish jade,” and she really can’t stand nasty people like Li Bonian, who actually dared to covet their lady Madam. She did not hold back at all when she made her move.

With a slap, Li Bonian was thrown onto the muddy ground beside the road. His clothes were covered in mud, and whether Ah Qing did it on purpose or not, Li Bonian landed flat on his back with his legs in the air, his face also smeared with a clump of mud, utterly ruining his image.

“You servant girl, you have quite the nerve!” Li Bonian angrily pointed at Ah Qing.

After all, Li Bonian had spent many years in the military camp. Although his ability was not as good as Han Yu’s, he still had some skills. The reason he was so easily caught by Ah Qing was that he was too careless and did not guard against a little girl like her, allowing her to catch him off guard. Moreover, Ah Qing’s skills were indeed beyond what Li Bonian could match; even if he had been on his guard, it would have just been a matter of more effort.

“Master Li, I’m really sorry. My servant girl has been practicing martial arts since she was little and always has a heavy hand. I only meant to ask her to clear the way, I didn’t expect to cause Master Li to fall like this. Master Li, you are a generous man; please don’t take it to heart over a little girl. Besides, you are a military officer. If this matter were to get out, I don’t know whose reputation would suffer!”

Su Wenyue said with a cold laugh. Since she dared to let Ah Qing take action, she naturally had a countermeasure in mind. She didn’t believe Li Bonian would be so shameless as to lose face just to punish a servant girl.

Li Bonian had originally intended to punish this servant girl who dared to attack an Imperial Court official. Hearing Su Wenyue’s words, his face grew even darker. Although he was seething with anger inside, he had to admit that what Su Wenyue said was true. Not to mention that he had been made a fool of by a servant girl; even the idea of stopping Su Wenyue from moving on could become an embarrassment if it got out.

“Mrs. Su, don’t go too far. I wanted to have a decent conversation with you because you still look somewhat appealing. Don’t be ungrateful! Now, I’ll tell you in private, without others present, and I’m not afraid to say it: Han Yu may not return from his bandit suppression mission this time. When you become a widow with three children, life won’t be so easy. However, I am someone who pities fragrant and cherishes jade. If you are willing to follow me, although the status might not be as good, I will surely not mistreat you in other respects. I guarantee you will live comfortably, better than before,” Li Bonian still did not give up, trying to persuade Su Wenyue to follow him. After all, it is rare to find a woman with such beauty and that stubborn streak, which excited his masculine desire for conquest.

“Ah Qing, slap him!” Su Wenyue narrowed her eyes, her face showing a hint of barely tolerable rage. At this moment, she could not allow anyone to curse Han Yu.

Li Bonian was stunned. He had not expected his provocation to backfire. Having just witnessed the capability of Su Wenyue’s servant girl, and having lost face once, he couldn’t afford to lose it a second time. Sadly, even though he had spent years in the military camp, he had only learned some showy moves. If Ah Qing were to strike for real, even if he had been prepared, he would have been unable to defend himself. With two crisp slaps, two red marks appeared on his face.

“Mrs. Su, you’re simply overstepping your bounds. You think just because I care about face, I wouldn’t dare do anything to your servant girl? A servant assaulting an Imperial Court official is a capital offense. If you don’t apologize to me properly today, I’ll make sure your servant girl has nowhere to be buried!” A large man being slapped in the face, what a humiliation Li Bonian faced. He was beyond just angry but still thought to use this as a threat to make Su Wenyue submit to him.
