CHAPTER 26: CHAPTER 25: TRULY A DISGRACE TO MEN!

Song Cheng was anxious, he hurriedly pleaded, "Master, please don’t leave, I will truly change, and to be honest, my wife and I used to have a good relationship. Although there were concubines, I have always respected her. It’s just... my wife hasn’t been in good health, especially in the past two years, she has lost even the strength to get out of bed, that’s why I..."

"Stop making excuses for yourself. Your marital palace has no main star, destined to have calamities. Your wife is even sick because of you, sigh, men really are useless creatures."

Yu Nianzhao made no effort to hide the disdain and scorn in her eyes.

Likewise a man, Xie Jiuxiao pursed his thin lips into a line.

"Mr. Song, you really bring disgrace to us men!"

"I..."

Song Cheng wanted to cry but had no tears, he glanced at the fainted Song Jiling and his own legs that hurt to the point of numbness, completely losing face, he pleaded, "Master, according to your words, the problematic person in my mansion might be Ms Mei. It’s strange, as long as I’m in the mansion, I constantly want to see her and be with her, but outside the mansion, I feel as if I can finally take a breath!"

Yu Nianzhao was suspicious, "According to what you’re saying, you’ve long noticed her problem, then why didn’t you expose her earlier? Isn’t this masochistic behavior?"

Song Cheng covered his wound, losing too much blood made his entire body cold.

"That’s because Ms Mei once saved me, I have always been reluctant to believe she would resort to any underhanded means. In my eyes, she should have been a fresh and refined white lotus in the Sunset Pool."

"Indeed, quite a white lotus, that description is spot on."

Yu Nianzhao seemed uninterested, unless an evil spirit appeared, she truly had little interest in dealing with such a man’s trivial matters.

Suddenly, her brow was burning.

[Master, this evil scent is nice, they’re even emitting virtue points!]

[Master, I’m hungry...]

[Hungry, hungry, hungry...]

Yu Nianzhao was pestered by Jiu Ying’s noise to the point of headache, she glanced coldly at Song Cheng, who exuded faint virtues.

But these virtues were not his own, they were stained from others.

"Miss Yu, my mother’s health was once improving, then suddenly she couldn’t get up anymore, you said there’s a villain causing trouble in the mansion, can I invite you to come and have a look?"

Song Caiwei’s eyes were glistening with tears, looking at her pleadingly.

She wasn’t doing it for Song Cheng, her heart was wholly for her mother.

[Master, her virtue points are much higher than that guy’s, don’t miss this chance!]

[Virtue points smell much better than evil spirits!]

[Master, the Underworld is a complete mess, we need virtue points to repair it.]

Yu Nianzhao stared at Song Caiwei for a couple of seconds, then stepped forward, lifting a hand to gently pinch her chin.

Boom!

Such an ambiguous posture made Song Caiwei’s cheeks flush instantly.

She looked shy and bashful, like a petite lady being teased by a rakish young master.

Xie Jiuxiao squinted his eyes, looking at them with discontent.

Even Mu Hongxuan felt the air was getting hot, "Is our Princess teasing someone? More flirtatious than Prince himself, the real man."

Xie Jiuxiao’s cold gaze swept over, his voice icy, "Shut up!"

Mu Hongxuan hurriedly covered his mouth, his gaze wandering.

Tsk tsk, talking honestly just isn’t acceptable!

Yu Nianzhao stared at the reddish-brown birthmark on Song Caiwei’s cheek, "You said ugly, are you referring to this scar on your face? It’s inflicted by malicious evil, not naturally occurring."

Song Caiwei was taken aback, the blush on her face quickly faded.

With tears in her eyes, she grabbed Yu Nianzhao’s hand, choking up, "Yes, my mother said when I was born, my face was spotless, but somehow, this birthmark gradually grew with age. Miss Yu, are you suggesting I was harmed too? This birthmark... no, this ugly scar on my face, was it deliberately created by someone? Can it be removed?"

Song Caiwei’s crying softened Yu Nianzhao’s heart, she was radiant, full of virtues, a kind-hearted, innocent girl.

"Yes, I can help you, but everything is based on cause and effect, once I’ve helped you, you must return something to me!"

She wanted the virtue from Song Caiwei.

Damn it!

She collected virtues not only to feed the voracious Jiu Ying, but also had to hand over to the Underworld to repair the huge crevice!

Is there a more miserable King Yan than her?

It’s truly the old King Yan digging pits for the young one, almost burying her!

"Alright, alright, you can have whatever you want, there are the jewels and fineries my mother left me, and the silver coins I saved, all can be yours."

Song Caiwei’s eyes were red and swollen, she eagerly expressed sincerity, even taking off the bracelet on her hand and stuffing it into Yu Nianzhao’s hand as a deposit.

Yu Nianzhao shook her head, firmly holding her hand to put the bracelet back, "I don’t want these, rest assured, once everything is settled, I’ll naturally collect what’s due."

Song Caiwei stared dazedly at Yu Nianzhao, a teardrop fell from her eyelashes, as if landing on her heart, making her pulse race.

"Quickly invite Miss Yu back to the mansion..."

Seeing Yu Nianzhao agree, Song Cheng, with a breath of relief, gave the order before fainting from excessive blood loss.

The scene became chaotic at once, people from Minister’s Mansion hurriedly called for doctors, bandaged Song Cheng and sent him back along with the carriage.

Xie Jiuxiao frowned, "Really going to help?"

His thin lips pressed into a line, clearly unwilling to get involved with Mr. Song’s household affairs.

Yu Nianzhao grabbed his hand, "Huh? Prince, why are your hands so cold? Let me warm them up for you!"

As she spoke, she warmly placed both her hands on his, seizing the chance to absorb more evil Qi.

She looked up brightly at Xie Jiuxiao and asked, "What did Prince just say? I didn’t hear clearly!"

Xie Jiuxiao couldn’t help but smile, feeling the warmth from her hands, he hummed lightly, "Nothing, do whatever you want!"

"Okay, will Prince accompany me?"

"Yes!"

Mu Hongxuan practically couldn’t bear to watch.

Prince really showed how changing moods was faster than flipping a book!

Look, he’s been hooked!

It hasn’t even gotten to marriage yet, already like this, after marriage, he might turn into a henpecked husband!

It’s truly a great evil star meeting a small evil star, completely subdued!

Upon reaching Song Mansion’s front, there were already people leading a few Daoist-looking individuals performing rituals.

Song Cheng awoke from unconsciousness, carried down, "Father, what are you doing?"

The leading older gentleman, with an elegant demeanor, glanced sideways at him, furrowing his brow asked, "I should ask you, why did you come back in such disgrace? I long told you the mansion was odd, you refused to listen. These are master’s I invited, they said the mansion is laden with evil spirits, without cleansing it would bring great misfortune."
