Chapter 174: Outcome
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The moment the door was kicked open, Mrs. Bai’s body froze. The man who was lying on top of her also froze. The two of them were naked and twisted together, making Old Master Bai feel nauseous.
When Mrs. Bai saw her husband, she was so frightened that she pushed the man away. She tried to pull the blanket over her body, but she forgot that the blanket had been kicked off the bed by the two of them. She fell off the bed and grabbed the messy clothes on the ground to cover herself.
The man had never seen Old Master Bai before. He thought that the reckless person had barged into the wrong room. Just as he was about to shout, Old Master Bai strode forward and kicked him over.
Then, Old Master Bai slapped her. “B*tch!”
This slap was much more ruthless than the one he gave Bai Tang. Bai Tang was his daughter after all. As her father, he was only giving her a lesson. He didn’t really want to beat her to death, but Old Master Bai really wanted to kill Mrs. Bai.!!
No man would tolerate his woman doing such a dirty and lowly thing.
Mrs. Bai was slapped against the bedpost. Her forehead was broken and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. However, she did not even have the courage to resist. She trembled as she knelt on the ground. “Master…”
“He’s Old Master Bai?” The adulterer was dumbfounded.
Old Master Bai had never felt so angry before. He treated his wife with all his heart and was afraid that she would be wronged. He did not even have a concubine. However, when his daughter was dying, his good wife used the excuse of looking for a doctor to get together with another man!
“If not for Tang’er seeing you, I would still be kept in the dark by you guys!”
Mrs. Bai was so frightened that she forgot to question why she had been seen by Bai Tang. She cried as she crawled to Old Master Bai’s feet and hugged his feet. “Old Master, let me explain…”
Explain?
Mrs. Bai did not have any confidence in her words. Her husband had caught her in the act. Could it be that she had been forced? However, tonight, she was indeed more concerned about such things than before. She did not know what was wrong with her.
A bold thought flashed across the adulterer’s mind. Ignoring the fact that he was still naked, he fluttered over, closed the door, and bolted it.
Old Master Bai frowned. “What are you going to do?”
Mrs. Bai also looked at him in shock.
The adulterer took out a cold dagger from his clothes and looked at Old Master Bai maliciously.
Mrs. Bai’s expression changed. “Henglang, what are you doing!” [The lang here is like a nickname for a lover.]
The adulterer looked at Old Master Bai coldly and said, “Haven’t you always wanted to get rid of him? This is a great opportunity. As long as he dies and you marry that girl to the Chen family, the entire Bai Manor will be ours.”
Mrs. Bai was stunned. For a moment, she was moved by Henglang’s words, but soon, she came back to her senses. “No, Henglang, killing people will cost you your life!”
However, the adulterer did not listen to her. No matter what happened to her, he would not be able to escape death. Instead of that, he might as well take a gamble. If he killed this man, he would have a chance to live and obtain the entire Bai Manor’s assets!
The adulterer raised his knife and stabbed at Old Master Bai!
This strike was fast and ruthless. Old Master Bai could not dodge in time. Just as Old Master Bai was about to die in the hands of the adulterer, the tightly shut door was suddenly kicked open from the outside.
A tall figure rushed in and pounced on the adulterer like a wild wolf, throwing him to the ground. The adulterer was in pain and threw the knife away.
The person did not give the adulterer any chance to react. His fists, as dense as snowflakes, smashed towards the adulterer’s face. The adulterer’s face was bruised and his eyes were filled with stars.
After confirming that the adulterer was half-dead, the person stood up. His joints were bleeding as he had used too much strength.
Old Master Bai looked at the young man who had saved his life in shock. This young man had a pair of righteous eyes, but for some reason, his face was covered in soot. Could it be a handyman from the kitchen?
Old Master Bai asked, “You are…”
Yu Feng pretended to be calm and said, “I… I passed by and heard from inside that they wanted to kill someone…”
Old Master Bai was relieved and cupped his fists. “Thank you for your help, Little Brother. May I know your surname and where you live? I’ll definitely visit you to thank you another day.”
“No… no need.” Yu Feng turned around and fled.
Old Master Bai tried to ask the teahouse about the whereabouts of this benefactor, but was told that there was no such person in the teahouse. It was very likely that he was a guest who came to the teahouse.
Old Master Bai couldn’t possibly look for them one by one. Since he didn’t want to leave his name, he naturally didn’t want to be disturbed. Old Master Bai could only keep his gratitude in his heart.
… .
Family scandals should not be aired in public. Old Master Bai did not report Mrs. Bai’s adultery with another man, but this did not mean that he would let the two of them off. After all, he had lived to this age and managed such a huge business. It was impossible for him to not have some means.
Mrs. Bai and the adulterer were brought back to the Bai Manor and locked in different courtyards. If a woman did such a thing behind his back, she could forget about their marital relationship. As for the adulterer, it was even worse.
The adulterer was beaten up by the guards one after another. He fainted a few times, but he was still half-dead. Finally, the adulterer couldn’t take it anymore. “Stop beating me… Please stop… I’ll tell you everything, alright?”
It turned out that the adulterer was acting as a martial arts student in a certain troupe. His looks were not outstanding, and his stage skills were not first-rate. However, he was young and had good stamina, so he caught Mrs. Bai’s eye.
All these years, Mrs. Bai had given him a lot of money. He left his original troupe and established his own troupe. However, because of poor management, it quickly closed down. After that, he opened a tea shop and closed down not long after.
However, he was not worried about his livelihood. He understood that as long as he could make Mrs. Bai happy in bed, she would be willing to give him as much money as he wanted.
The two of them had been together for five to six years. Mrs. Bai had lost more than a hundred thousand taels of silver to him and even bought him a house in the Capital.
At the thought that Mrs. Bai had actually taken his silver to use it on the wild man outside, Old Master Bai’s blood boiled!
Old Master Bai got someone to check the internal accounts, but he almost vomited blood.
“Get out of my way!”
Just as Old Master Bai was about to collapse from anger, Young Master Bai came over.
Young Master Bai was five years old this year and could be considered cute. The servants all said that Young Master Bai looked like Old Master and was the same as Old Master. In the past, Old Master Bai also felt the same way, but looking at him again tonight, he didn’t seem to look so similar anymore.
“Dad! Where’s Mom? Where’s Mom? Those servants stopped me from coming in just now! Dad, punish them!” Young Master Bai said innocently.
“Dad, why aren’t you saying anything?”
“Dad, Dad, punish them!”
“Dad, I miss Mom! Where did Mom go? Quickly bring me to see her!”
The son that he once doted on the most had become a thorn in Old Master Bai’s heart. Was he really his? Or was he that adulterer?
“Bring the Young Master out!”
Under Old Master Bai’s order, the maidservant entered the room and grabbed Young Master Bai’s arm.
“Let go of me! I want Mom—I want Mom—”
Young Master Bai was carried away by the maidservant.
Old Master Bai sat on the chair dejectedly. He seemed to have aged several decades overnight.
Tang’er had gone against Mrs. Bai time and time again. He always blamed Tang’er for being insensible. Now, it seemed that he was not as clear-headed as Tang’er. He had wronged Tang’er for so many years for a woman who had long betrayed him.
“Master.” Steward Ding slowly walked in. “Madam’s last batch of accounts has been checked. Do you want to take a look?”
“Don’t call her madam anymore.”
“Yes.”
… .
It was too late tonight and the city gate had already closed. Fortunately, Yu Wan had booked an inn in advance. On the way back to the inn, Yu Wan opened the medicine bag she carried with her and bandaged Yu Feng’s wound. “Do you have to be so ruthless? Big Brother, are you risking your life to save your future father-in-law?”
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Yu Feng said seriously. “If others hear this, it will ruin Miss Bai’s reputation.”
Yu Wan smiled.
Although it was to expose Mrs. Bai this time, she had still schemed against Old Master Bai. With Yu Wan’s understanding of her elder brother, he would never do such a “framing” thing. However, for Bai Tang, he risked everything. He did not agree with every step, but he did it seriously.
Yu Wan thought that this was probably love.
Unlike Uncle and Aunt’s love for each other, and also unlike Dad and Mom’s infatuation with each other, Big Brother used his own way to protect Bai Tang.
Yu Feng suddenly said, “You haven’t eaten dinner. You must be hungry.”
No, I’ve been fed by your affection.
Young Master Manor.
Yan Jiuchao also had dinner, but he was already full. However, it was not because he was full from the affection, but because he was full from the anger towards Yu Wan.
From being angry at her for not being able to stand the loneliness, to being angry at her for seeing other men naked, in the end, what was in her mind was actually that sentence, “Too ugly… Why is it so ugly… Yan Jiuchao, is yours also so ugly…”
At that time, he was in a fit of anger and did not carefully distinguish this sentence. Now that he was soaking in the bath…
Was that girl worried that he was ugly?
Young Master Yan, who had been beautiful since he was young, had never been doubted like this. But to be honest, he had never seen anyone else’s, so he didn’t know if his own was ugly.
Young Master Yan placed his arm on the ground behind him and tapped his slender fingers gently. “Shadow Six.”
Shadow Six flashed into the bath. “Young Master, what can I do for you?”
“Take off your pants.”
