As soon as Chen climbed over the courtyard wall, she slipped and fell down, landing on a pile of cow dung covered in snow.
She climbed up from beside the stable using a ladder.
There were two horses in the stable, and next to the stable was a cow, which had been with the family for several years.
The snow fell quickly and heavily, so the cow dung couldn't be cleaned up in time.
The cow dung smelled of snow, and when Chen fed it, it felt cool and refreshing. Suddenly…
Ms. Chen vomited incessantly.
This vomiting attracted Niu Yong and Tuanyuan. Tuanyuan carried a lantern and waved it in front of Chen Shi:
"So it's you. What are you doing crawling over here?"
Niu Yong grabbed Chen Shi with one hand and said, "No matter what you're here for, you've trespassed on private property. You'll be in jail for a month or so."
Unable to withstand the beating in court, Madam Chen confessed everything. The silver given to her by Steward Tao was gone before she even had a chance to touch it!
On the same night.
Master Tao was sleeping soundly in his study when he was suddenly awakened by something. He was about to light the lamp when he saw a man's figure flash past his door.
Master Tao hurriedly chased after him.
That figure looked very familiar.
So, after he woke up, he didn't make a fuss, but quietly followed the man all the way to Aunt Yang's courtyard.
After listening to Master Tao fall into a deep sleep, Steward Tao quietly entered Concubine Yang's room. Concubine Yang had already undressed and was wearing a tube top when she opened the door for Steward Tao.
"Is the master asleep?" Aunt Yang asked.
"He's sleeping like a log," said Manager Tao.
"Sleeping like a dead pig," Master Tao, hiding in the shadows, had a face that was green with embarrassment.
As soon as Steward Tao entered the room, he hurriedly untied Aunt Yang's bodice and his own belt, his rough hands covering Aunt Yang's snow-white, high breasts.
"Bang"
The door was kicked open.
They got caught in the act when their feelings were too intense.
When Steward Tao turned around, he was so frightened that his legs went weak. While putting on his trousers, he said, "Master, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
Master Tao suddenly kicked him, causing Steward Tao to bleed. "Misunderstanding?"
Then, he grabbed Steward Tao by the collar and dragged him outside. When the other servants heard the commotion, they saw Master Tao beating Steward Tao.
Steward Tao was Master Tao's confidant, and he was brought from the capital.
Steward Tao handles all the affairs at home and outside, so it's rare for them to fight like this, or rather, for Master Tao to unilaterally beat Steward Tao.
Master Tao pressed down on Steward Tao's head and slammed it against the wall repeatedly, but none of the servants came to help Steward Tao.
Firstly, look at Aunt Yang's disheveled appearance.
Secondly, judging from the extent to which Master Tao was beating people, everyone had a pretty good idea of what had happened.
No matter how much they usually fawn over Steward Tao, they won't walk into the line of fire now.
After being shoved in the head by Steward Tao, Master Tao kicked him into the nearby pond. The pond was freezing cold in the dead of winter, making Steward Tao shiver.
Although Master Tao was strong and handsome in his youth, he was now too old and, being a vice minister, was living a very comfortable life.
It's inevitable that they'll eat their fill and become quite overweight.
After beating Steward Tao, he was out of breath and half-squatted against the wall, panting heavily.
Concubine Yang immediately decided to sacrifice the pawn to save the king, and sobbed softly, saying, "Master, this man has secretly sneaked into the inner courtyard, intending to do something improper to me."
After catching his breath, Master Tao looked down at Aunt Yang with disdain. Although he was fat, he had been an official for many years and his aura as a superior was in no way weak.
The ruthlessness in his eyes was also noticed by Aunt Yang. She had never seen Master Tao like this before, and she was so frightened that her hands and feet trembled.
"My lord! Master Tao, I...I absolutely did not lie."
Master Tao stared at her coldly, without saying a word.
At this moment, Steward Tao, who was shivering from the cold in the pond, burst into laughter: "Haha, Tao Jingtian, all your arrogance has amounted to nothing, you've been a muddle-headed official your whole life!"
"You've been wearing this huge green hat on your head for eighteen years, and in the end you're still doing it for someone else," Steward Tao said, before being suddenly interrupted by Aunt Yang's shout:
"Shut up! You were the one who raped me back then. You ruined me, who else do you want to ruin?"
Initially, it was Steward Tao who raped Aunt Yang, but she gradually fell in love with the man who raped her.
When Steward Tao was young, although his family background was much worse than that of Master Tao, he was just as dashing and debonair as Master Tao was back then, and his appearance was second to none in the area.
At that time, Aunt Yang had just been designated as Master Tao's concubine. Master Tao, under pressure from his elders, granted her permission to have his wife married. As a result, Madam Fang was angry with Master Tao.
As a result, Master Tao began to neglect her.
She was often alone in her empty room because of loneliness.
It was at this moment that Steward Tao forced himself on her.
After that, she became pregnant.
She originally wanted to have an abortion, but Steward Tao threatened her that if she did, he would expose their affair, and if things got bad, neither of them would be happy.
In order to find a father for her child, she had to take advantage of the discord between Master Tao and Madam Fang and pretend to be Madam Fang before she got married.
They tricked Mr. Tao into bed with a combination of coaxing and deception.
The second time, nothing actually happened. Aunt Yang had burned some kind of incense in the room, and both she and Master Tao were under its influence.
Later, the imperial physician in the mansion said she was pregnant.
She was successfully promoted to the position of concubine.
The year he was elevated to the status of a concubine, Master Tao rarely visited him, as he was busy appeasing Madam Fang.
Tao, the steward, was handsome and skilled at charming women. He won over the restless Yang, and they had been having an affair for over ten years.
After struggling for a while, Steward Tao gradually sank down.
Master Tao, watching his steward being gradually submerged by the water, gritted his teeth and said:
"Get him out of here and make him explain himself."
Four servants went into the water and pulled Steward Tao, who was choking and on the verge of death, out of the water.
Master Tao looked down at Steward Tao:
"Tell me, in the end, what have I done for others?"
Steward Tao smiled: "I said you're on behalf of someone else... Ah!"
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be like this now. Go to hell, go to hell!" Aunt Yang took the hairpin she was wearing and stabbed it into Steward Tao's body.
I pricked him seventeen or eighteen times.
Steward Tao immediately collapsed.
"My lord, I am guilty, I have wronged you, I will atone with my death." With that, Concubine Yang smashed her head against the wall and died.
Looking at the dead Yang concubine on the ground, Master Tao felt a pang of sorrow. Although he had been somewhat cold towards her the year she was made a concubine.
Later, he became immersed in physical pleasure with her, but even in physical pleasure, he still developed feelings for her.
Master Tao sighed softly, "Buy a thin coffin and give Aunt Yang a proper burial!" Then, noticing the pool of blood on his steward, he yelled, "Drag him to the mass grave and feed him to the dogs!"
"It's the master."
A servant went out to buy a coffin.
Two servants dragged Steward Tao out.
Another servant and several maids cleaned up the area.
The two servants dragged the straw mat and struggled to pull Steward Tao with a rope, cursing as they went:
"Even in death, you continue to harm others!"
Tired from pulling, he rested and kicked Steward Tao twice. Hearing a loud bang, the two servants went over to look and immediately burst out laughing:
"This guy, he's having an affair and he's bringing so much money with him."
"Check again, see if he has anything else of value on him."
The two servants took out another six taels of silver and a land deed from Steward Tao.
“The mass grave is too far away. Why don’t we just leave him here? There’s hardly anyone here anyway,” a servant said.
The other servant thought it made sense, so the two divided the money. Before leaving, the servant kicked Steward Tao and spat in his face.
"You little wench, I've put up with you for so long! Every time you're in front of me, you act like a rooster that only lays eggs. What makes you so great? You're just a sworn brother of Meixiang, nothing but a slave! Bah!"
After the servant left, Steward Tao's fingers twitched slightly.
