Chapter 200 Discovering an Affair

In the evening, Uncle Xiao and his son went into the mountains to find a place to dig a pit and buried Wu.

No sooner had they left than Ye Hongying quietly sneaked into the mountains.

He took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket, dug a shallow hole, buried it, and then covered it with withered branches and leaves.

She had a feeling that someone was watching her, so she glanced around warily, but there was no one there. It seemed that she was just imagining things.

After burying the bottle, just as he was about to go down the mountain, he suddenly saw Duan Qingyun walking up the mountain and then turning back up.

Yun Zhaoxue was hiding in the space not far from them and could clearly hear their conversation.

Duan Qingyun asked in a deep voice, "Isn't it time to take action?"

Ye Hongying nodded, "Yes, tonight. I've already taken care of things with the second branch of the Xiao family; I've observed them."

She'll be going up the mountain to gather firewood at this time. Just follow her and take the opportunity to lead her away. Go a little further away and say that you two fell into a pit. Since you're alone together, she'll have no choice but to marry you.

They will definitely go looking for someone, and Xiao Xuanjing will take the opportunity to poison their pots.

"All of this was done by Xiao Xuanjing and his son to avenge the eldest branch of the Xiao family; it has nothing to do with us."

After listening, Duan Qingyun smiled slightly, a hint of admiration in his eyes, "Indeed, the most poisonous heart is that of a woman."

"Xiao Xuanjing has been so good to you, how can you bear to hurt him like this?"

A hint of disdain flashed across Ye Hongying's beautiful face as she scoffed, "What is he anyway? I wouldn't miss him either, not you."

She only likes strong men and dislikes weaklings. Two years into their marriage, she has never been interested in him and feels disgusted even if he touches her.

He was with Duan Qingyun because he and Xiao Xuance had a similar build and were both generals who had fought on the battlefield and killed enemies.

"You can't bear to part with me, but you still like Prince Xiao the most, don't you?" Duan Qingyun lifted her chin and skillfully gave him a deep kiss on the lips.

Ye Hongying took the opportunity to wrap her arms around the man's strong waist, and with her other hand, she pulled him towards her by his collar. She leaned over and whispered in his ear, her warm breath brushing against his ear. Her slightly raised eyebrows and teasing eyes held a hint of sarcasm.

"She's quite attractive, with a curvy figure. Don't tell me she's going to be a saint tonight."

"I'm not interested in that young girl. She's completely out of it, like a dead fish. I'd rather sleep with her than with you."

"You should still go with her. After all, once it's done, you'll still have to marry her. You're inexperienced now, so you can train her slowly after you marry her."

"You heartless woman, you pushed me out, aren't you even a little bit jealous?" Duan Qingyun bent down and nibbled at her earlobe and neck, then buried his face in her neck to inhale her fragrance, and sighed.

Both of their fathers were generals in the Xiao family army. They had known each other since childhood and were childhood sweethearts. However, they both saw through each other and did not end up together. After a forbidden love affair, they maintained an improper relationship.

Ye Hongying pushed him away, saying, "You've slept with so many women. If I were to be jealous of every single one of them, I'd die of jealousy."

Yun Zhaoxue really wanted to use the equipment in her space to record them, but it wouldn't be convenient to show them to the world. So she decided to turn the tables and make them lose both their wife and their army.

The two descended the mountain one after the other. After they reached the bottom, Yun Zhaoxue posted the short video that had been buried in the ground. Upon opening it, it looked somewhat similar to the wound medicine, but the smell was off.

She guessed that the bottle of medicine was related to Wu's cause of death.

Back at the group, the Xiao family had already set up a pot to cook.

Cooking rice, preparing medicine, and stir-frying vegetables all require a lot of firewood. After preparing the ingredients, two or three people are left to watch the fire and stir-fry the vegetables.

Everyone else went to gather firewood.

Xiao Xuance was cooking while sitting in a wheelchair.

Jun'er added firewood to the stove.

Xie Wanyun and Song Mingyan each tended a stove, one cooking medicine and the other cooking rice.

Ming'er and Xian'er stayed with Madam Yang.

Yun Zhaoxue took a folding chair and walked to the stove. "Jun'er, go and rest for a while. I'll watch the fire."

"Third Aunt, you're carrying your younger brother and sister, so I can't let you do any work."

"This little bit of work is no problem."

Xie Wanyun guessed that the couple might want to have a private conversation, so she called her son over to help, "Jun'er, go and get some water for your mother and second aunt."

Xiao Xuance said, "The smoke is too thick here, you don't need to come over."

"Sit down for a bit, I have something to tell you." Yun Zhaoxue casually added two pieces of wood to the stove, leaned slightly towards him, and told him everything she had seen and heard on the mountain.

"I've already spoken to Zhuiying and asked him to arrange for a few people to follow Shuer, and also to follow her secretly. With double protection, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"Yes, you've arranged it very well."

“I’m also worried that if something happens, Shu’er won’t be able to handle it. A pure and innocent girl being defiled by that dirty cucumber, there are people who would want to die.”

As Xiao Xuance was stirring the vegetables in the pan, he heard her use an unfamiliar term and instinctively asked, "What is a dirty cucumber?"

He could understand the dirtiness, but why bring in cucumbers? He didn't understand the metaphor.

Yun Zhaoxue glanced between his legs. "It's just a metaphor. You men use it too much, it gets dirty, you understand?"

“…I understand, I’m not dirty.” Xiao Xuance could tell she disliked men who weren’t clean, so he made a point of emphasizing that he wasn’t that kind of man.

Yun Zhaoxue, "..."

Who asked him?

Suddenly I wanted to tease him, "Ahem, words are no proof, we'll only know if it's clean after an inspection."

Xiao Xuance was stirring the mixed vegetables in the wok when he heard her words, and his hand trembled so much that he almost dropped the spatula.

Yun Zhaoxue raised an eyebrow slightly.

Pshaw! You ancient folks!

She's still a bit too young compared to her older sister. In her past life, a certain Douyin account often recommended male abs-wearing bloggers to her, and the comment section was full of young girls who could easily flirt with her.

On the mountain, all the firewood in the vicinity had been collected, and Xiao Mingshu noticed a spot on the mountain that hadn't been picked over.

She walked uphill, squatted down to gather firewood, and saw a dark shadow moving on the ground, getting closer and closer.

He grabbed a stick, quickly turned around, and swung it behind him. "Bang!"
