183 Shameful! (1/2)

”Furen, this courtyard belongs to Young Master Chen.”

One of the servants went forward and whispered but still, many Furens were able to hear him.

Ling Furen's face changed. She could not help but worry about her daughter's reputation. Regardless whether what she said was true or not, once news spread out that her daughter mistakenly entered a man's courtyard, it would destroy her innocence. Looking at the silent courtyard, Ling Furen's heart ached.

”Are you sure that this is the place?” Baili Furen turned her head and stared at Jing'er. Jing'er nodded. Her eyes were full of worry.

The truth was, Jing'er left the banquet because she did not want to compete and become Baili Furen's daughter in law. She had someone she liked, and that was Baili Chen. Although Baili Chen was rumored to be a lecherous man and had already countless of concubines, Jing'er's mindset was the same with other ancient women. Sharing husbands were the norms and she would not mind sharing Baili Chen with other women. Besides, it was normal for an outstanding man like Baili Chen to have beauties in his arms. Even Jing'er was willing to be one of those women.

Unfortunately, when she entered the courtyard, she heard screams coming from the main room. Due to fear, she immediately ran away until she luckily saw the group of females walking towards the lotus pond. Calling for help, Jing'er thought that as long as Baili Chen knew that it was her who asked someone to save him, he would pay attention to her.

”This lady clearly heard it… This lady was only passing in this courtyard when suddenly, someone was screaming loudly inside, asking for help. This lady immediately ran away to call for help.”

Baili Furen's face was calm, no one was able to guess what was on her mind.

”Go and take a look!”

Since the courtyard belonged to a man, Baili Furen and the rest did not enter. She only sent a couple of servants to check out the situation inside.

Few moments later..

”Young Master Chen!!! Hurry call a physician!!!”

Hearing the servant's cry, all the females outside the courtyard paled.

'Did Young Master Chen really encounter an assassin?'

”Great Buddha! Young Master Chen's butthole is bleeding!!”

No one knew who among the servants spoke those words inside the courtyard. Baili Furen's face turned purple and then red, alternately switching colors due to shame. She turned her head and saw the Furens' and their daughters' expressions. She could not help but grit her teeth inside.

This was not included in her plan.

Few nights ago, someone sent a unanimous letter once again. At first, she did not want to trust the letter but the momo[1] who had served her since she was young had convinced her to try it out.

The letter contained a plan on how to tarnish Baili Chen's name without dirtying their family's reputation.

Her plan was simple. It was to make Baili Chen unable to marry a legal wife from an outstanding noble family.

Baili Furen has prepared a lowly woman. She would then stage a scene where they would pass by at Baili Chen's courtyard and witness him torturing the woman to disgust the Furens and their daughters. She would then order Baili Chen to take the woman as his concubine in order to save the reputation of the Baili family.

But… what had gone wrong?

Where was the woman?

Why was Baili Chen in the verge of death?

What happened?

Everything was different!!
