Chapter 20 You have the ability to save yourself

Damao discovered a secret. She kept it to herself for several days, but finally she couldn't bear it anymore and told Ermao.

Mrs. Yun's pregnancy was fake.

She was supposed to go to the main house to serve that day, but she saw Madam Yun went in first. She waited at the door for a while, and heard Madam Yun asking Madam Fu for a pill that could create the illusion of pregnancy.

Within a day, Mrs. Yun was found to be pregnant. Everyone could sense that something was wrong.

She originally wanted to keep these things to herself, but she saw that Madam Yun's treatment was getting better day by day. In comparison, the treatment of their wives seemed to be getting worse.

The other maids in the yard all laughed at them, saying that Madam Fu had fallen out of favor and Madam Yun had taken over.

Ermao was indignant when she heard this. She could never keep things to herself, so she immediately reported the matter to the county magistrate.

He just concealed the fact that Madam Fu gave the elixir to Madam Yun, and only said that she faked the pregnancy to win favor.

County Magistrate Yao was not a fool. After a careful analysis, he figured out that it must be that bitch Yunlan who was deceiving him.

Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen!

He was furious. He dropped what he was doing, rushed into Fu Ning's yard, pushed open the door of the west wing, but found nothing.

Hearing the sounds of laughter coming from the main house, he turned around, pushed open the door of the main house, and saw Yunlan and Fu Ning.

Fu Ning saw that he had no expression, but Yun Lan stopped smiling and asked in surprise, "Master, why are you here?"

County Magistrate Yao narrowed his already small eyes, "Why am I here? Shouldn't you know best?"

He grabbed Yunlan's arm and pulled her up from the chair. "You're trying to trick me for fun, right? Do you think you can look down on me just because you're on the list of cultivators in the cultivation world? Stop dreaming! You'll be my concubine for the rest of your life!"

Yunlan trembled and said, "I never dare to lie to you. Did you misunderstand something?"

County Magistrate Yao sneered, "Stop pretending. I already know about your fake pregnancy."

Fu Ning frowned, wondering who leaked the news.

Yunlan swallowed and pretended to be calm, "I wouldn't dare to lie to you about this even if I had a hundred guts. Where did you hear this rumor? The doctor said I'm pregnant."

"Still quibbling?" County Magistrate Yao was already certain that she was lying, and her words only added fuel to the fire. "You took drugs to pretend to be pregnant, don't think I don't know!"

He slapped Yunlan hard, and Yunlan fell to the ground immediately, her hair spread out, and five bright red blood marks appeared on her face.

County Magistrate Yao was not going to let her go. The anger of being fooled by his concubine, bowing and scraping to the monk and being cuckolded filled his mind. He grabbed Yunlan's hair, dragged her into the yard and started beating and kicking her.

Yunlan still remembers pretending to be pregnant and covering her belly at first, but she soon discovered that County Magistrate Yao did not hit her belly at all, but her breasts, buttocks, and legs, which were extremely shameful places.

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me!" Yun Lan got up from the ground, grabbed Fu Ning's thigh in panic, and shouted at her with snot and tears on her face: "Sister Xiao Shuang, save me, save me!"

Fu Ning had followed them out and stood at the door watching coldly. She looked up at Da Mao and Er Mao who were too frightened to even breathe, shook her head, and quickly caught the fist that County Magistrate Yao was about to throw at Yun Lan. "You have the ability to save yourself, why did you call me?"

The brief break allowed Yun Lan to regain consciousness. She looked up at Fu Ning's calm eyes and suddenly remembered that she had taken the Qi Gathering Pill. She could already feel the flow of spiritual energy and began to enter the initial stage of Qi training.

Why should she still be afraid of this fat old man who has no spiritual power and a hollow body?

County Magistrate Yao didn't care about the two women in front of him. He often beat women and no one could resist him. But this time it was different. He was surprised to find that he couldn't pull his fist out of Fu Ning's hand.

He angrily swung his other hand to hit Fu Ning. Yun Lan suddenly got up from the ground, bumped into his stomach, and knocked him to the ground.

County Magistrate Yao fell to the ground and cried out "Ouch".

He looked in disbelief as Yunlan, who had just been like a chick, crawled up and stood in front of him, stepping hard on his stomach with her embroidered shoes and crushing him twice.

"Fuck you bitch, you're a rebel!" County Magistrate Yao screamed in pain. His fat body squirmed a few times like a worm. He grabbed Yunlan's ankles and pulled her to the ground. He sat on her and beat her all over the face without leaving any strength.

Yunlan's face was half swollen and her hair was disheveled, but she had a strange smile on her face, which was getting bigger and bigger.

Now that it has been done, just go all out and do it thoroughly.

She waved her fists and legs like crazy, struggling desperately, and with one turn she actually pinned the county magistrate under her.

Yunlan punched County Magistrate Yao hard again and again, just as he had just treated her harshly.

She felt the most comfortable moment in her sixteen years of life. All her endurance of humiliation was released at this moment. This arrogant and self-righteous county magistrate was suppressed by her and could not move. She finally took control of her destiny.

Song Jinghe heard the noise and came out in his wheelchair. He was surprised to see Yunlan beating County Magistrate Yao like a madman, and saw Fu Ning standing aside and watching indifferently.

Doesn’t this woman know how troublesome it would be to offend the fat county magistrate?

The system in Fu Ning's mind also spoke up, "Boss, let's stop it. Don't make things worse."

Fu Ning crossed his arms and said, "Let them fight. It has nothing to do with me anyway."

The system was suddenly frightened by the host's indifference. It was originally worried that the host had been deceived by Yunlan, but now it seems that it should be worried about Yunlan, who has been fooled by the host and lost her mind.

County Magistrate Yao's face flushed red from holding back his anger. He had never thought that he would be pinned down and beaten by the woman he always looked down upon. He opened his mouth and yelled, "Xu Chang...!"

Yunlan punched him in the face, knocking out several of his teeth.

"Bah! You're a bear!" County Magistrate Yao wrinkled his face in pain, spat out blood, and cursed. He tried to grab Yunlan's hand and push her off his body, but he rolled on the ground for a long time without success. Suddenly, he ran out of breath, his eyes rolled back, and he became motionless.

Song Jinghe was the first to notice something was wrong. He turned his wheelchair forward and tried to stop Yunlan.

But Yunlan was focused on the fight and didn't care about Song Jinghe at all, nor did she notice that County Magistrate Yao had stopped moving. She still raised her fists and punched him hard on his fat body.

The system sounded an alarm in Fu Ning's mind, and he shouted, "Boss! It's over! The fat county magistrate's vital signs have disappeared!"

"This old man deserves to die." Fu Ning raised his eyebrows. The fat county magistrate had been taking her medicine for such a long time, and he got angry and was beaten up by Yun Lan. It was not surprising that he died.

"But the fat county magistrate died in our yard." The system shouted anxiously, "We are in trouble."

"It's indeed troublesome." Fu Ning agreed, but she was not as anxious as the system. She walked forward leisurely and grabbed Yun Lan, "Stop fighting, he's dead."

Yun Lan finally stopped and stared at Magistrate Yao, whose eyes were still wide open, and asked hesitantly, "Dead?"

Fu Ning nodded.

Yunlan put her trembling hand under Magistrate Yao's nose, then immediately withdrew her hand as if she had been burned, muttering, "He's really dead."

After a moment's silence, she suddenly burst into laughter without any restraint.

Xu Chang and his servant rushed into the yard. At first glance, he saw Yunlan, who looked like a female ghost. Then he saw County Magistrate Yao lying on the side. He hurriedly asked someone to help him up, but found that his whole body was limp as mud. The servant was so scared that he dropped him.

"The master is dead!"

County Magistrate Yao fell to the ground with a loud bang, but he did not move at all. Xu Chang sniffed the breath of County Magistrate Yao in disbelief and exclaimed, "Dead?!"

He immediately ordered his servants to surround the five people from Fu Ning. "How dare you murder an official appointed by the imperial court? Throw the five of them into the dungeon and interrogate them later."

Yunlan's laughter never stopped, as if she was really crazy. She thought she was finally going to get what she wanted, but she was caught again. She thought she had hidden her fake pregnancy from County Magistrate Yao, but it was exposed again. She thought she had control over her destiny, but she was facing real death. She was obviously about to realize her wish, why was she always one step short?

She looked at Fu Ning, who was still looking at her calmly. If, if she could blame all this on her, she might be able to escape.

Yunlan smiled and shook her head. She was a person who would not hesitate to step on anyone to achieve her goals, but she did not want to drag Fu Ning into the water. Xiaoshuang had given her enough.

She stopped laughing, stepped forward and said, "It has nothing to do with Fu Ning, Master Song, and the little maid. I was the one who killed the county magistrate."

"Okay." Xu Chang said sharply, "Throw this vicious woman into the dungeon."

"Ding, the favorability of the cannon fodder female supporting character Yun Lan has increased by 20 points, and the current favorability is 70."

The system breathed a sigh of relief in Fu Ning's mind. "It's not bad. A favorability of 70 is already a trustworthy partner. This female supporting role shouldn't involve us. Otherwise, this matter will be really tricky."

Fu Ning nodded and watched Yun Lan being taken away by the servant. She said that she liked this woman and knew her ambitions. She agreed with Song Jinghe's comparison of her to a wolf.

She didn't mind being friends with a wolf, but she did mind if the wolf bit her.

But at present, it seems that the worries of the system and Song Jinghe are unnecessary.

"Wait a minute!" she said, "It wasn't Madam Yun who killed the master."

Yunlan looked at her in a daze.

Xu Chang said, "Who else could it be if not her? Could it be you? Or that crippled person next to you? Or those two little maids?"

Song Jinghe's eyes darkened and he gripped the handle of the wheelchair tightly.

Fu Ning tilted his head and said, "Neither of them. The county magistrate was so angry when he was beating Madam Yun that he lost his breath and died suddenly."

"What nonsense!" Xu Chang pointed at the county magistrate's nose, "How do you explain the blood on your nose?"

"This is just a minor injury that Madam Yun suffered when she resisted. It won't endanger her life at all. You will know it after a quick check." Fu Ning's tone became stern. "Besides, the county magistrate is dead, but Madam Yun is pregnant with the county magistrate's child. You threw Madam Yun into the dungeon. Do you want to kill the county magistrate's child as well?"

Xu Chang didn't know the inside story and really thought Yunlan was pregnant with the county magistrate's child. He looked at Da Mao and Er Mao and asked, "Tell me what's going on with you, both of you?"

Fu Ning gave them a warning look.

The two maids trembled and shook their heads, "Master... Madam Yun died suddenly during the beating."

Xu Chang was stunned, not knowing what to do for a moment. He sent a servant to look after them and hurried off to find the county magistrate's wife.

Fu Ning, Song Jinghe and Yun Lan returned to the main house and closed the door.

Yunlan tidied up her messy hair and pulled out a lot of hair that was pulled out by County Magistrate Yao. She didn't feel bad, but just said, "Xiao Shuang, you shouldn't care about me."

"It's meaningless to say this." Song Jinghe said to Fu Ning, "The only ones who knew that Madam Yun was faking her pregnancy could be Da Mao and Er Mao. Kill them, and your story will be perfect."

Fu Ning shook his head. "The fat county magistrate is not worthy of the two of them being buried with him."

"Then what should we do next?" Song Jinghe's tone was filled with anger. The county magistrate was a ninth-rank official and died in her yard. Someone would definitely come to investigate her, but she actually spoke for Yunlan. How could this woman not clear herself?

Fu Ning heartlessly hugged Yun Lan's shoulders and said to Song Jinghe: "It's okay. This matter has nothing to do with you. If we have to die, we will be buried with the fat county magistrate."

"You!" Song Jinghe was almost laughing because of her.

"Boss! The villain's favorability has increased by five points. It is now forty-five points."

Fu Ning understood, she narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Xiao Jing, are you worried about me?"

Yunlan: She somehow turned from the heroine’s love rival into the villain’s love rival.
