Chapter 252 Yun Xiuwen: I Killed Two Adulterers
The house where Wang lived was very close to the kitchen; it was just a short route with two or three turns.
She arrived first but didn't alert them, hiding in a corner and watching Aunt Chen and Hu Feng as they were talking.
A short while later, the maid brought Yun Xiuwen over.
"Master, it's over there. Concubine Chen is having an affair over there."
Yun Xiuwen's eyes were bloodshot, and he gripped a knife in his hand, his voice hoarse, "Damn bitch!"
His woman can die, but she can't cuckold him.
If Chen dares to commit adultery, he will definitely kill her and her lover together.
Aunt Chen expressed her gratitude and hoped he would accept the money, saying, "Brother Hu, I heard that your escorts are short of money and need to spend it. Please accept it; I won't feel at ease if you don't."
Wang pointed over there and sneered, "Yun Xiuwen, did you see that? That slut took the money you gave her and gave it to another man. If you can tolerate this, you're not a man!"
"Yes! I'm a man, I shouldn't tolerate this, I should kill you, and then kill her and that adulterer!" Yun Xiuwen was enraged, and his hand holding the knife stabbed at her.
The maidservant reacted quickly and pulled Wang Shi back, preventing the knife from piercing her heart; it only cut her arm.
"laugh!"
Wang, clutching her bleeding wound, stared at him with eyes that seemed to spit fire, gritting her teeth as she said, "Yun Xiuwen, are you insane? The person you should kill is her! What are you doing to me? If you're a man, go and kill her and that adulterer!"
Yun Xiuwen turned and walked towards the two people in the corner.
Aunt Chen's voice came from inside.
“I am very grateful to Brother Hu for saving my life. I am of lowly status and cannot repay you in any other way but with money. I will repay your life-saving grace in the next life. I am your man in this life and in the next. I will never betray you!”
She stuffed the silver into Hu Feng's hand, took a half step back, clasped her hands, bowed deeply to him, and said, "Thank you, Brother Hu!"
Hu Feng weighed the silver in his hand a couple of times, looked at Yun Xiuwen behind Aunt Chen, and said with a hint of contempt and sarcasm, "He's just a coward. He's afraid of his wife. His wife wants to kill you and your child. He can't protect you, and you still want to stay with him? How can you face your child? Aren't you... being a masochist?"
A hint of hurt flashed across Aunt Chen's eyes. "Master was deceived. He apologized to me. I don't blame Master."
"If you come with me, I guarantee no one will dare to make things difficult for you."
"You, I..."
"You don't need to say anything, I understand."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Yun Xiuwen's furious shout rang out:
"You adulterer, how dare you seduce my concubine! I'll kill you!"
Aunt Chen turned around and saw this. Her eyes widened, and she suddenly found the courage to lunge at him, trying to snatch the knife from his hand. "Master, please calm down. He was just joking with me..."
Hu Feng pulled Aunt Chen away and kicked Yun Xiuwen in the chest, "Bang!"
Yun Xiuwen fell to the ground, the knife in his hand clattering to the floor. He struggled for a long time but couldn't get up.
Aunt Chen helped him up and cried, "Master, I have not betrayed you. I went to Hu Chaye to sever ties with you so that I could serve you wholeheartedly."
Hu Feng stepped forward and stomped on Yun Xiuwen's hand. "Master Yun, have you calmed down? No matter how bad I, Hu Feng, am, I would never force a woman. There are so many considerate, young, and beautiful girls in the Yihong Courtyard, any one of them is better than her."
Aunt Chen's body stiffened, her knuckles clenched tightly, and she trembled all over. So she was so worthless in his eyes?
Why would he help her, and even buy her medicine to help her recover?
She thought he felt the same way about her... but it turned out she was just being delusional.
Aunt Chen suppressed her grief and tried to pry Hu Feng's foot away with both hands. Looking up, her tearful eyes pleaded, "Brother Hu, I beg you, please lift your foot. Don't make things difficult for my master. He didn't mean it; he was just trying to scare people. My master would never kill anyone..."
Hu Feng looked down at her, his eyes cold and devoid of any emotion. He lifted his foot and flung Aunt Chen away, saying, "Let go! I find it disgusting!"
Yun Xiuwen suddenly retorted defiantly, "Who said I haven't killed anyone? I killed two adulterers, hahaha!! I'm not a coward! No!"
Aunt Chen pressed further, "Two? Besides Steward Wu, whose are they?"
“You should also call her Madam, so my Rou’er, you must never betray me, or you, all of you will die!” Yun Xiuwen grabbed Aunt Chen by the back of the neck, leaned closer, and stared at her tearful, frightened eyes with his scarlet eyes.
Aunt Chen's frail body trembled, and her voice shook, "I know, I know, Rou'er will never betray Master."
Wang Shi was furious that she didn't get to see Yun Xiuwen kill Aunt Chen, and that her own arm was injured. Her face contorted with rage, and she went back into her room and smashed things, making a loud crashing noise.
"Yun Xiuwen! You killed my Wu Lang, you killed my Yang'er, and you even dared to hurt me! You deserve to die!"
"Madam, you have an injury on your hand. Let me bandage it for you first."
After venting her anger, Wang calmed down and reached out her hand for the maid to bandage it.
A flash of resentment crossed his eyes.
If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.
Wang suddenly spoke up, "Go and buy me something."
"What would you like to buy, Madam?"
Wang beckoned to her maid to come closer and whispered two words in her ear.
The maid was immediately shocked upon hearing this, "This... Madam, this servant dares not."
She went to buy the medicine, she drugged it, and when the truth came out, she became the scapegoat.
"What are you afraid of? I want to poison that bitch. I am the legal wife, and I can't kill a mere concubine? If anything happens, I'll take care of it. Go now!"
"If you disobey my orders, I'll have my cousin kick you out of the mansion!"
"Madam, please don't. This servant will go right away."
"Hmph! That's more like it."
The maid was doing this for the first time, and her back was covered in cold sweat. She wasn't paying attention to where she was going and almost bumped into Yun Jiaoyue at the corner of the door.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going."
Yun Jiaoyue frowned slightly and asked unhappily, "What happened? Why are you panicking?"
Not wanting her to know, Madam Wang came to the maid's rescue, saying, "I just said a few words to her and she's already so frightened. Useless thing, easily scared. Why don't you get out of here right now?"
"Yes, Madam." The maid bowed and slowly turned to leave.
Yun Jiaoyue saw the injury on Wang's arm and asked, "Mother, why did Father hit you again?"
"It's all because of that bitch. He doesn't care about us, mother and children. Soon you won't have to call him father anymore."
Yun Jiaoyue sensed a hidden meaning in Wang's words and was suddenly startled. "What does Mother want to do?"
"You don't need to worry about this. Everything I do is for your and your older brother's good. You're already married and have found a good home. Once your older brother and Ying'er get married, your mother won't have to worry about anything anymore."
