As Hongying spoke, she went to fetch hot water. Erzhuzi felt restless again. He was covered in mud and water and really needed to wash, but he was a little uneasy about having a woman prepare his bathwater.

Hongying had no such worries. She brought a blanket to wrap Erzhuzi in, then quickly brought water, cleaned the long-unused bathtub, and added hot water to it.

Once everything was ready, she came over to help Erzhuzi, who said embarrassedly, "Hongying, you go out first, I'll wash myself!"

Hongying snorted and said indifferently, "Can't you act like a man? I'm a woman and I'm not this timid. If you could get into this bathtub by yourself, you wouldn't have fallen flat on your face as soon as you came out. Don't worry, I'm not after you!"

After saying that, he started to take off Erzhuzi's clothes!

Erzhu stood motionless, not daring to breathe, letting Hongying take off her coat.

"I'll do the rest myself!" Erzhuzi said stiffly, stammering.

Hongying slapped away Erzhuzi's hand that was blocking her way and said, "Stop dawdling! You're soaking wet. If you don't soak in hot water soon, it'll be troublesome if you catch a cold!"

"Achoo~" As if on cue, Erzhuzi immediately sneezed.

"What did I tell you!" Hongying said triumphantly. Finally, Erzhuzi was stripped down to only his underpants by Hongying.

Erzhuzi quickly covered his lower body with his hands and said nervously, "Let's not take this off!" Even though he was shivering from the cold, sweat was breaking out on his nose from nervousness.

Hongying burst into laughter: "Brother Zhu, you're such a coward!"

Hongying ultimately showed mercy, sparing the underpants and using all her strength to help Erzhuzi into the bathtub.

With Erzhuzi's legs weakened, his entire weight pressed down on Hongying. His arm dug painfully into Hongying, who cried out, "Brother Zhuzi, be gentle, be gentle! I can't take it when you're pressing down on me like this!"

Erzhuzi said in a panic, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!"

As the two were talking, Xu Lanzhi called out as she walked inside, "Erzhuzi, are you feeling better? Where is he?!"

"Sister-in-law, we're taking a bath!" Hongying blurted out!

Xu Lanzhi immediately fell silent and said somewhat flusteredly, "I'm leaving now!"

After he finished speaking, the sound of hurried footsteps faded into the distance.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, it's not what you think!" Erzhuzi shouted at the top of his lungs, but Xu Lanzhi had already gone far away.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Erzhuzi scolded Hongying!

“I’m not talking nonsense, we’re taking a bath right now!” Hongying retorted.

"Your words are unclear and have caused Sister-in-law Lanzhi to misunderstand!" Erzhuzi cried out anxiously.

Hongying got angry too: "Why are you yelling at me? Let Xu Lanzhi misunderstand if she wants to. Why are you in such a hurry? Don't tell me you're still thinking about Xu Lanzhi!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? We're a man and a woman alone together, we're just worried about people misunderstanding!" Erzhuzi's voice dropped several decibels.

Hongying cursed and said, "Don't think I don't know. You keep talking about Xu Lanzhi. I know you like her, but what good is it? What is Xu Lanzhi's status now? Even in Huaiyuan County, people have to respect her by calling her Madam Xu. Do you think she would be interested in you?"

Besides, her daughters are all incredibly capable; they wouldn't let a blockhead like you become their stepfather!

"Hongying, shut up!" Erzhuzi was hit where it hurt. Xu Lanzhi was always an unattainable figure in her eyes!

Hongying said sourly, "What, did I hit a nerve, Brother Zhu? Everyone has their own fate. I saw it all a long time ago: you have feelings for Xu Lanzhi. But I know you can only keep those feelings to yourself. If you say them out loud, you won't even have the right to look at her from afar!"

"Stop talking!" Erzhuzi said helplessly, sitting in the bathtub with his eyes closed.

Hongying also said with heartache, "Brother Zhuzi, you can't be foolish. Xu Lanzhi is like the moon in the sky now; you can only look up at her."

But this person can't stay so unrealistic. They should lower their head and look at the people in front of them!

Erzhu's inner wounds were reopened, and a sense of dejection filled his body. He leaned against the bathtub, closing his eyes in pain.

Seeing his half-dead state, Hongying was furious. She looked at herself covered in mud and became even angrier.

He worked himself to the bone, but Erzhuzi was completely oblivious; his heart was only for Xu Lanzhi.

She suddenly had a bold idea: she would tear apart Erzhuzi's unrealistic dream with her own hands, she would let Erzhuzi experience real desire, and she would liberate this man.

Hongying reached out and unbuttoned her clothes one by one, and the coarse cloth dress was taken off her body, revealing a snow-white expanse.

But the man in the bathtub was completely unaware; his memory had returned to a long, long time ago, to the time when a shy girl handed him a silver hairpin in the dark.

He was filled with hatred, hating himself for being so cowardly, hating himself for giving away the girl he loved to someone else.

Suddenly, there was a splash in the bathtub, and a pair of delicate legs touched him. Erzhuzi opened his eyes in fright.

The scene before him left him speechless. Hongying was standing in the bathtub, completely naked, with everything exposed to him.

"Hongying, what are you doing!" Erzhuzi felt a part of his body slipping out of his control, and he asked in a hoarse voice.

Hongying, with a look of grim determination, said, "I want you to know that although the moon in the sky is beautiful, it is not as real as the people you can see and touch right in front of you!"

After saying that, she slowly squatted down and pressed herself against Erzhuzi, her body moving restlessly over his body.

"Brother Zhu, Brother Zhu, don't hide! I'm going to show you what a real woman is!" Hongying's hot lips brushed against Erzhuzi's ear.

Erzhuzi felt his blood rushing to his head, as if a force was about to burst him apart.

He bit his lip, trying to stay awake, but his mind and body seemed to be out of control. Erzhu grabbed Hongying and pulled her into his arms.

A victorious smile appeared on Hongying's lips. She closed her eyes contentedly, awaiting the impending storm.

However, things did not develop as she had imagined. Erzhu's hand gradually loosened, and he let go of her body. Then, enduring the excruciating pain, he forced himself out of the bathtub and hopped away on one foot!

Scalding liquid streamed down Hongying's cheeks; she couldn't tell if it was tears or water dripping from her hair. She stared blankly at Erzhuzi, who was slowly escaping her in an extremely comical way.

An unprecedented sense of despair washed over Hongying, leaving her defenseless.

She had never felt such pain in her heart when she wanted to kill her whole family with a packet of rat poison that day.

She felt incredibly humiliated and furious. She wanted to curse and scream, but no sound came out of her throat.

She believed that as long as she persisted, she would surely make Erzhuzi see her good qualities.

She thought that as long as she was thick-skinned enough, she could eventually make Erzhuzi realize his mistake.

However, even though he was willing to give himself to her, Erzhuzi still treated him like trash.

Originally, in the past few days, my relationship with Erzhuzi had been subtly warming up.

Erzhuzi went from resisting me at first to passively accepting me later, and would even ask me for help from time to time. Everything was developing in a good direction, but why did things suddenly turn out like this? Why!

Xu Lanzhi kept asking herself what was wrong with her that made Erzhuzi dislike her so much!

It's all because of Xu Lanzhi. If Xu Lanzhi hadn't suddenly appeared and disturbed Erzhuzi's mind, everything would have gone smoothly today, and Erzhuzi would have already been his!

Hongying slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with a terrifyingly cold light that made people's hearts tremble. She couldn't swallow this insult. Why was it that Xu Lanzhi, without even showing her face, could make Erzhuzi so devoted to her with just one sentence?

Why should she, a widow with seven children, live such a carefree and happy life, and still want to compete with me for Erzhuzi?

Hongying was unwilling to accept this. Didn't Erzhuzi like Xu Lanzhi? If she couldn't have her, no one else could either. She was going to get back every bit of the humiliation she had suffered today. She wanted Xu Lanzhi to taste the same pain!
