Noticing this subtle change, Little Peach Blossom's eyes darted around as she quickly squeezed herself into his arms, pressing herself against him.

Men, no matter how good-looking they are or what their background is, ultimately all think with their lower bodies.

No matter how much you love your wife at home, who can resist a temptress outside?

Besides, she'd seen Jiang Yao herself, and she wasn't inferior to her in looks.

They even called her a cheap whore who was ridden by a thousand men and slept with by ten thousand men.

Oh!

She was just born into a good family. So what if she was of humble origin? The more people called her lowly, the more she would fight for herself.

"My lord..."

With seductive eyes, the woman looked at Pei Lingyu, her soft, boneless hands teasingly reaching inside his clothes to touch and press him, her eyes gazing into his heart with boundless adoration.

"Young master is truly a model of a noble family's son; his demeanor and appearance are both first-rate."

"My lord, you are too good to me, I adore you..."

Upon hearing this, Pei Lingyu was immediately captivated.

He was a handsome and charming man who was popular wherever he went, but at home he was disliked by everyone.

In particular, Madam Bo and Jiang Yao would compare him to Pei Yanzhi every day, urging him to surpass Pei Yanzhi.

Speechless.

Why should I compare myself to Pei Yanzhi, a scheming and despicable person?

I am the true scholar!

Transcending worldly concerns, not swayed by worldly affairs, not tempted by fame and fortune, only pursuing true inner satisfaction and peace.

Gold always shines. Look, didn't Little Peach Blossom see herself shining?

Staring at Xiao Taohong's alluring face, Pei Lingyu felt an extreme sense of comfort, as if her heart had been soothed by feathers.

His body was aroused again, so he grabbed her hand and went inside to have sex.

"My lord, you are too hasty... Be careful not to hurt the child..."

After it's over.

Xiao Taohong's delicate shoulders trembled, her voice choked with sobs, as if he had made her cry.

"Look at you, you've made her cry again..."

"It always happens, it's so awful..."

Her eyes sparkled, and her skin, now pampered, was even more delicate and smooth. She looked even more alluring than Jiang Yao in bed. He couldn't help but reach out and embrace her, caressing her soft, delicate skin.

"Don't worry, since I made a promise to you, I will definitely let you into the manor. Just don't try to overshadow Yao'er's position. You should know your place."

"..."

How shameless! If you're so tough, then don't get into my bed.

She forced a smile, trying her best not to let Pei Lingyu see her true thoughts.

Xiao Taohong smiled sweetly, "I know, I never thought of comparing myself to you, Madam, it's just that you seem to dislike me."

“I know my status is lowly. It is a blessing that I can be with you, my lord, for three lifetimes. If it weren’t for the child, I would not want to add to your gambling.”

Xiao Taohong leaned against Pei Lingyu's chest and spoke softly, her tone carrying a sense of understanding, grievance, and subservience.

Her words immediately ignited Pei Lingyu's masculine spirit. "Hmph, don't worry about her. What's wrong with me taking a concubine? It's perfectly normal for a man to have three or four wives and concubines. Why is she making such a fuss?"

"I spoiled her too much, which is why she became so unruly."

He said angrily.

Actually, he wouldn't have run away from home today if Jiang Yao hadn't objected so vehemently.

Xiao Taohong quickly comforted him, gently stroking her belly. "My lord, please don't upset yourself. Once my anger has subsided, we'll think of something else. I know you truly care for me, and that's enough."

What he was really thinking was that they already had a child, had even entered the door of the house, and the news had spread throughout the capital. Even if they couldn't enter the house now, wouldn't they still have to obediently welcome her into their household in the future?

Unless the Earl's family has no shame.

Of course, the Earl's family couldn't be shameless. Whether it was Jiang Yao or the Earl's wife, they both cared about their reputation.

Especially for Jiang Yao, with Jiang Shuwan beside her, after calming down, she felt that she still had to pick up the face that had been trampled on.

Of course, the face she wanted was different from Xiao Tao Hong's face.

Xiao Taohong thought that now that everyone knew, the Earl's mansion had to accept her into their household.

Jiang Yao thought, "If I were to share a husband with a courtesan, I would lose all face and dignity. I would rather die than enter her house."

Moreover, she was already convinced that Xiao Taohong was a seductive and opportunistic vixen, and she absolutely could not let her into the house.

Thus, the two sides disagreed. Xiao Taohong waited for her at the villa day after day, while Jiang Yao had people find out the location of the villa and sent people to investigate the brothel where Xiao Taohong was staying. When they found out that she was indeed a courtesan, Jiang Yao was dumbfounded.

"Are there really male prostitutes in this world? Don't men go to brothels thinking about sex? Are they really just there to listen to music?"

"Have I misunderstood men?"

"Are they really that naive, going to brothels just to listen to music?"

"I never imagined there were so many good men in this world as pure and simple as Yulang!"

Jiang Yao shook her head and sighed, her face filled with disbelief.

Hearing her repeatedly say that she was still protecting Pei Lingyu, Song felt a sharp pain in her heart.

"Yes, yes, your husband is very good. He's always embracing one woman after another, never stopping. He's very innocent. It's all those slutty women outside who seduce him. He's completely innocent."

"Mom, can you please stop talking so sarcastically?"

Jiang Yao couldn't stand hearing this and frowned, saying, "The two concubines beside Yu Lang were originally given to him by his wife when he came of age. This is how aristocratic families do things. How can you blame him for this? Besides, he didn't even know me at the time, so naturally he couldn't refuse them for me."

"What about Lianxiang and Lianyu? You said back then that he was disgusted by his good sister named Lianxiang and Lianyu? You've forgotten all the things you said to him back then, haven't you?" Madam Song said angrily and disappointedly. "It hasn't been that long!"

"Of course I remember. Those two lowly maids were originally good at seducing people. They were sold off by a prominent family in Jiangnan, and then they took a liking to my Yulang as soon as they entered the Marquis's mansion. If Yulang hadn't been too naive, how could he have been deceived?"

"And it was all my fault back then. I was immature and jealous. Yulang was just joking around with them for a few minutes, and I flew into a rage and scratched Yulang's face in public, making him lose face in front of his relatives."

“If I were more sensible and magnanimous, Yulang wouldn’t have taken them in just to spite me.”

Jiang Yao looked remorseful.

"It's all my fault, I was too stingy."

"..."

Feeling as if a stone was pressing on her chest, Song was so stunned that she didn't know what to say.

When Pei Lingyu took Lianxiang and Lianyu as concubines, Jiang Yao caused a huge uproar in the entire Marquis's mansion. She had to use all her persuasive skills to convince Jiang Yao to change her mind and accept Lianxiang and Lianyu.

Afterwards, Jiang Yao and Pei Lingyu's relationship improved, and Jiang Yao had Jiang Shuwan backing her up, so even though Lianxiang and Lianyu were pregnant, they were still trampled underfoot by Jiang Yao.

At that time, trying to reconcile the two sides was very difficult and time-consuming.

Why go to such lengths to persuade them to leave now?
