"Oh? The last time I saw you, you two seemed very affectionate. At the time, I thought you were willingly devoted to being a wife and mother to him."

Master Wang's shrewd eyes were fixed on Cen Xi.

“I didn’t like him at first, but I’ve already married him, so I have no choice. But I never thought I would be so unlucky and become a widow so early. Master, let’s not talk about him anymore, okay? I’m yours now. I promise to serve you properly from now on. You are the husband I should rely on.”

Cen Xi squeezed out a few tears and explained awkwardly.

"It's good that you think that way!"

Mr. Wang touched the back of her hand to comfort her.

"Thank you for your understanding, sir. By the way, sir, what do you plan to do with those two people who tried to take advantage of me last night? Although I'm no longer a virgin, their behavior was utterly disrespectful to you. They took your money and then wanted to sleep with you. Sir, how can such people be so shameless?"

Cen Xi subtly withdrew her hand, then looked at Master Wang with teary eyes and began to accuse him.

"Don't worry, I've already had them dealt with. I, Wang the Great Philanthropist, don't take advantage of others so easily. If greed is insatiable, then I don't need to be polite."

Master Wang narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with shrewdness and ruthlessness.

Cen Xi saw this and realized that the look in his eyes was very similar to that of her boss scheming against his competitors. She had to admit that the old man in ancient costume in front of her was quite capable. If she didn't handle things properly today, she would definitely be his prey.

This won't do.

It seems that ordinary methods won't be able to subdue this person today.

We have to resort to drastic measures.

Cen Xi felt a little relieved when she thought about the divine song she had bet with her buddy Yu Kuang on and what they had done that day.

Thinking of this, Cen Xi was about to pretend to say something more when two old women brought in a table full of delicious food.

"Eat up, my little lady. After we finish eating, we can consummate our marriage. As long as you serve me well tonight, your life will be even better than that of the county magistrate's daughter."

Master Wang withdrew his shrewd eyes and gazed at Cen Xi's graceful figure, his heart filled with desire.

"Being favored by the master is a blessing I have accumulated over several lifetimes. Nianniang is deeply grateful."

Cen Xi picked up her chopsticks, looked at Wang Dashanren with a delicate and shy expression.

"Let's eat quickly. A moment of bliss on this spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold. My wife, you can't keep me waiting!"

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Wang Dashan's heart was filled with desire. This woman was too beautiful, and he wished he could possess her immediately. Although he felt that she had ulterior motives, she was just a weak woman, and her martial arts skills were no match for him.

"Yes! Master, wait for me. I've prepared a performance for you. I brought my zither today. I'll play a piece for you in a bit."

Cen Xi rummaged through her food and mumbled something.

"Eat quickly, I can't wait any longer, why bother playing the zither?"

Master Wang stared at Cen Xi's private parts for a long time, feeling unbearably hot.

"My lord, haste makes waste. We have a long life ahead of us. You are a refined scholar; wouldn't it be more elegant to do some romantic things? I'll play a tune for you, and I guarantee that after tonight, our manor will be the talk of the town. Wouldn't that make you proud?"

Cen Xi took the initiative to extend a hand and grasp Master Wang's hand, speaking in a pretentious manner.

"Very well! Then I'll wait for you to play a tune."

When Master Wang saw Cen Xi take his hand, his wariness lessened somewhat. This beautiful woman's hand was so smooth that he didn't want to let go.

Cen Xi thought that touching his hand wasn't a big deal. If she didn't offer him some benefits, he might get impatient, and her plans would be ruined. Although she could guarantee he wouldn't touch her tonight, what about afterward? She had to give this old man enough of a deterrent. Only then could she live peacefully in this mansion.

So she let Mr. Wang hold her hand while she finished her meal, and then she said:

"Master, I'm full! I brought a zither, but it's not very good. Do we have any good zithers in our manor? A good piece of music needs a good zither to produce even more beautiful sounds."

"Yes! Someone, bring a fine zither for Seventh Aunt."

Although Wang Dachui didn't receive much formal education in his youth, he attended many banquets hosted by high-ranking officials and dignitaries after he became successful, so he still possessed a certain level of refinement.

He really had no interest in those vulgar women in the mansion; he hadn't been this enthusiastic in a long time.

The servant responded and went to fetch a zither in no time.

Cen Xi took the zither, placed it on the zither stand, and strummed it a couple of times. It was indeed a fine zither, more than a hundred times better than Liu Xiucai's.

Cen Xi couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Sure enough, things from wealthy families are better. No wonder so many people throughout history have bowed down to these gold and silver treasures.

Cen Xi is just that kind of ordinary person. Money is too damn important to her, otherwise she wouldn't have put up with those two perverted bosses for three years.

In the end, he met a tragic end, dying and disappearing from the world.

Well!

But I digress. Getting back to the point, she's now a lamb to the slaughter. She has to struggle as much as she can so she can sleep peacefully in Wang Dashan's bed tonight, or she'll be reduced to ashes.

"Can we begin?"

Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, Wang Dashanren became somewhat impatient.

"That's good, sir! Listen carefully, this piece of music will be unforgettable for you."

Cen Xi curled her lips into a smile, her fingers flicked, and a stirring melody began to play.

The philanthropist Wang found the music high-pitched and stirring, as if inviting him to dance with it, and felt an inexplicable attraction to it.

He was listening intently when he suddenly sensed the presence of a wild beast around him. It was nearing dusk, and their town, Li Yue, was surrounded by mountains. Wild animals occasionally wandered into the town at night, so few people went out.

"Wait! Stop playing! I sense a wild beast has entered our mansion. I must find someone to deal with it first."

Master Wang's eyes were solemn, as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

"My lord! How can I not play it? This is a special gift I prepared for our wedding. Don't you like it?"

Cen Xi smiled innocently and asked.

"You're saying the howling wolves outside are your congratulatory gift to me?"

Wang the Great Philanthropist suppressed the urge to strangle someone and asked.

"Yes, does the master not like it?"

Cen Xi looked at the fifty-something-year-old man in front of her with an expression that said, "You don't know how to appreciate this."

"Yes! I don't like it. Get them out of here."

Fine beads of sweat trickled down Wang Dashan's forehead. Heaven knows how terrified he was of wolves. What kind of monster was this woman in front of him? How could she attract wolves just by playing the zither?

"Alright! Since you don't like it, I'll change the song."

Cen Xi remembered reading about the "Ambush from Ten Sides" technique in a novel, which could cause animals and wild beasts to lose control.

Out of curiosity, she and Yu Kuang conducted a field experiment, and the results were surprisingly good.

Today, she used this trick to make the entire palace dance with wolves, making them completely fall at her feet.
