Chapter 26: I Have to Leave (2/2)

In the evening, everyone was in a deep sleep when Aunt Cui sneaked out of her house like a thief. On the alert, she crouched at the corner and slowly moved.

After leaving for a long distance, Aunt Cui ran to the river bank at an amazing speed.

On the riverside, a man in black was standing with his back to her. Aunt Cui swallowed hard and went forward. “Sir, I’ve failed to carry out your order.”

“Well, tell me,” said the man in black, glancing quietly at her.

Aunt Cui showed a bitter expression. “We had already brought the young lady into the house. When we were about to take off her clothes to check her virginity, Geng Zhishan came back and drove us away.”

The man in black widened his eyes, his voice full of reproach. “What? You had taken off her clothes? You wanted to check her virginity?”

Aunt Cui was in a daze and went backward with a stride. She trembled and said, “Yes. If you want to confirm whether the young lady remains pure, the simplest way was to take off her clothes to check her virginity.”

“Don’t you dare!” annoyed, the man in black gave her a slap on the face,

Aunt Cui fell to the ground. “Sir, I just followed your instructions.”

The man in black sneered. ‘What a stupid woman!’

“Really? Did you just come up with such a solution? Why should I choose you? There are many people cleverer than you in this village. How can you be so stupid?”

Aunt Cui had a dreadful stammer. “No. sir. You’ve told me before that at all costs must we figure out whether the young lady remains a virgin. Besides, it’s you who ordered us to find her shortcomings. How come we become the ones who are at fault?”

“I told you to find her faults in order to drive them away. You’re such a silly idiot!” The man in black glared at her. “Who allowed you to make decisions without my permission?”

Indeed, the instant Xie Mengxuan was brought back, Aunt Cui had received the order to find her flaws while Geng Zhishan and Gu Yusheng were absent. There were two purposes: One was to check her virginity, and the other was to drive away Xie Mengxuan and Geng Zhishan.

However, this woman failed to carry out his order and made the situation go from bad to worse.

Aunt Cui licked her lips. “But the young lady’s reputation has been influenced now, and everyone else is pointing at her behind her back.”

“But for the little bit influence of what you’ve done, you would have been a corpse.” The man in black threatened.

The heart of Aunt Cui trembled violently. Since she had benefited from the cooperation with this childe, she was unable to stop. Nevertheless, she felt like being under the control of a serpent.

“Sir, I was wrong. Please give me a chance, and I’ll drive them away tomorrow.” Aunt Cui clenched her teeth.

The man in black glanced at her. “Don’t bother.”

“Sir!” anxious, Aunt Cui could not help raising her voice.

The man in black cast a glance at her, and Aunt Cui forced back the remaining words. He waved at her and said, “Listen to me. I have another instruction for you.”

Aunt Cui nodded and moved next to the man in black in a prudent fashion. She inclined her ear to listen to him. With a delightful look, she nodded her head frequently. Finally, she showed a smile. “Sir, don’t worry. I’ll settle this matter to your satisfaction.”
