A carriage sped along the road. Yu Mingyong, who was about to recover from the injury and could barely walk a few steps, leaned against the carriage. Hatred filled his heart. He only had one idea at the moment—he wanted the brothers of the He family to die. He had taken a fancy to He Yufen, but since she committed adultery, he had to replace He Yuxiu with her and ask the He family to suppress the matter.
But now, he learned that it was the He brothers’ trick. The so-called woman who had an affair with him was actually a prostitute in the brothel. How could Yu Mingyong not be furious? It turned out that the He brothers had already plotted against him. They changed the fiancée, but now he didn’t get either of them and even became a notorious man. At the thought of this, Yu Mingyong went to Lian’s Manor in a threatening manner, regardless of his injury.
He had heard from the woman that the He brothers had the best relationship with Lian An, so it was very likely that they were in his manor.
He was injured, and thus, of course, he couldn’t go to the brothel. But with his temper, if he was slightly better, he would ask people to call women in the brothel to his manor. Although he couldn’t do anything strenuous, he could touch them, see them and make fun of them. The procuress in the brothel knew that he liked the new and loathed the old, so she changed a few new people every time.
However, Yu Mingyong saw a familiar face among the new prostitutes today. He was shocked and immediately called her in to ask around. Only then did he know that the woman was originally in the brothel and not long ago, she was chartered out by the He brothers and rented a courtyard outside to frame him. In order to make up for her fault, the woman repeatedly said that the He brothers had a good relationship with Lian An and it was said that they were recuperating in Lian’s Manor now.
Yu Mingyong had no idea which brothel He Yufen was in, and where He Yuxiu was, so he could only vent his anger on the He brothers. Yu Mingyong had never been a person who could contain his emotion. He chased all the prostitutes back then and went to Lian’s Manor angrily. He did not remember that since Lian An was a first-rank official and that he was a lowly official, how could he barge into Lian’s Manor to search for people?
He was furious and did not care about this at all. He felt that he had to drag the He brothers out and kill them so as to vent the anger in his heart. Yu Mingyong had always been running wild in the capital and would do whatever he wanted. However, ever since he met the He brothers, he had become unluckier. He had been beaten up from time to time, making him lose his face.
These were all because the He family had set him up. At this time, he had already lost his mind because of anger and hatred.
When he reached the gate of Lian’s Manor and saw the big words “Minister’s Manor” above the gate, Yu Mingyong came to his senses. He remembered that his sister told him not to make trouble. Lian An was a first-rank official, not a low-ranking one, who would fawn on him every time they met. If he offended Minister’s Manor, he might be beaten up again.
Moreover, it was all from that prostitute. If the He brothers were not in the manor, he would be in serious trouble.
If he broke into Minister’s Manor for no reason, her sister might not be able to put in a good word for him. Thinking of this, Yu Mingyong hesitated. He touched his bottom, which was still in pain, and he wanted to back down.
Lifting the curtain, he found the servants following him were all gallant and were going to fight with someone. If he backed down at this time, the servants in his manor would look down on him as well.
Yu Mingyong put down the curtain. It was rare for him to think of a problem with his brain. It was not appropriate to barge into Lian’s Manor now. However, he would be embarrassed if he went back immediately. He was the noble Sir Yu, and if he did things halfway, could he face others in the future? Pondering for a moment, Yu Mingyong could not think of any good ideas. But suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
He didn’t know why he got such an idea. He lifted the curtain again and said to the several sturdy servants following him, “Somebody.”
“Yes, Sir Yu.”
“Minister Lian hasn’t returned yet and the manor is full of women. I don’t have the mood to deal with them, so let’s stay here and ask him when Minister Lian comes back. We’ll definitely beat the He brothers to death. Do you hear me?” Yu Mingyong’s face was full of fierceness, but in fact, he felt timid.
At this moment, he just wanted to delay it for a while. Then he would say that he was not feeling well and would come the next time so that he could never mention this matter. It was said that Lian An was a good official with clean hands and also very busy at ordinary times. At this time, he might not be able to come back. As long as Yu Mingyong stayed in front of his manor for a while longer, this matter would help him out of embarrassment.
“Yes, Sir Yu.” Even though the servants did not understand what Yu Mingyong meant by changing his order, they exchanged glances and answered in unison. No matter what the young man wanted to do, he was their master. They would fight whoever he ordered them to. Now that he asked them to wait, they would just wait!
Yu Mingyong put down the curtain and felt happy in his heart. He thought it was a good idea, but he didn’t expect that Lian An’s carriage would come just when he stayed there for a moment.
In fact, the butler in front of the gate had already seen Yu Mingyong coming angrily. However, as they didn’t take any action and just waited aside, he didn’t think it was a big deal. After all, it was in Minister’s Manor. Was there someone who dared to offend them? He didn’t think that Yu Mingyong, who was in the carriage, was looking for trouble with Lian An.
Madam Lian wasn’t at home. Lian An returned to the Minister’s Manor with He Yuxiu. They had just had made out, and He Yuxiu was urgent to come here. Her face was still full of desire. Along the way, Lian An was all over her and never quieted. As a result, they made out again, causing her hairpin tilted and her face full of lust.
Upon hearing the coachman said that they had arrived at their destination, Lian An adjusted his robe and got out of the carriage. He Yuxiu followed him out. However, women’s clothes were complicated, and they had just made out in the carriage. She stroked her hair flat and pulled her clothes. Without paying attention to the details, she lifted the curtain and got out.
Yu Mingyong, who had been bored, had already noticed that Lian An’s carriage was approaching. He was secretly complaining and did not know what to do next. He lifted the curtain and looked at Lian An’s carriage.
He saw that Lian An got out of the carriage, but he did not leave and waited by the side. Then a woman with a flushed face got out of the carriage. The button at her collar was unfastened, revealing a touch of pink. Her hair was messy, and her dress was not neat. It seemed that her clothes had been kneaded, and a few parts were particularly wrinkled.
Yu Mingyong was familiar with this thing. He could tell at a glance that the two must have made out in the carriage. Otherwise, the woman wouldn’t be like that. He didn’t expect Lian An, who had always been famous for being strict and didn’t lust for women, to be in such a good mood. Yu Mingyong was interested in the matter. People knew that he was a playboy and lusted after women. As he found that the whitehanded Lian An would do such a thing, he grew curious. “How does the woman look like? She must be very seductive so that Lian An gave up his decency and made out with her in the carriage while it was still driving down the street…”
His gaze naturally fell on the woman’s face. He felt that she was a little familiar to him. He blinked again and looked at the woman whose eyes were filled with love. She was standing weakly on the carriage’s frame. Lian An reached out and carried her off the carriage. He even pinched the woman’s butt, making Yu Mingyong’s mouth dry.
Lian An was indeed a hypocrite. Although he didn’t show anything on his face, his hand was stroke the woman’s body.
This time, Yu Mingyong caught him on the spot.
“Sir Yu, isn’t that Second Miss He?” the coachman murmured. He had once sent Yu Mingyong to meet He Yuxiu privately. He blinked and stared at the shy He Yuxiu in Lian An’s embrace in disbelief.
“He Yuxiu?” Yu Mingyong suddenly widened his eyes and stared at the woman not far away. He was immediately clear in the head. That was indeed He Yuxiu. No wonder she looked familiar to him just now. Realizing something now, he looked at Lian An and then at He Yuxiu, who was still leaning on Lian An, even though she had come down to the ground. Yu Mingyong’s cheeks twitched.
He lifted the curtain violently. Regardless of his injuries, he jumped down, holding the shaft, and shouted, “You two adulterers, stop.”
Yu Mingyong was full of hatred now. As he looked at He Yuxiu’s face covered with lust and thought of the scene that the two of them must have made out in the carriage, his eyes turned red immediately. He only felt that he had been cuckolded by He Yuxiu. No wonder He Yuxiu disappeared a few days before the wedding. It turned out that He Yuxiu had eloped with Lian An and made him a joke in the capital.
After that, he was instigated by the He brothers and was tricked. All of this was because of this bitch.
Yu Mingyong could not get rid of his anger.
Lian An and He Yuxiu were shocked to hear someone scolding them. They turned their heads, but before they could see who it was, He Yuxiu had been slapped in the face twice. “Bitch, no wonder you disappeared before our wedding. It turns out that you’ve fallen in love with Lian An. Good, did you feel very comfortable in the carriage just now? It looks like Minister Lian is old, but he’s still virile. You couldn’t wait to get off the carriage and just played in the carriage.”
Then Yu Mingyong turned to look at Lian An who was frowning and still did not understand what was going on. He said with a cold smile, “What an upright and whitehanded Minister Lian who doesn’t lust for women! I didn’t expect serious Minister Lian to do such a thing and cheat my fiancée. Furthermore, you even made out in the carriage. Isn’t she much better than the women in the brothel? Well, Minister Lian, you might not know my fiancée is much better in bed than the other women in the brothel. She has great skills and is extremely coy. Minister Lian, did you feel it in the carriage just now?”
Yu Mingyong was a jerk and his words were vulgar. He had treated Lian An as a whoremonger and He Yuxiu as a whore. Before, he wanted to make out with He Yuxiu, but she pushed him aside as if she were a chaste girl. He didn’t expect she just made out with Lian An in the carriage just now. How could Yu Mingyong not be furious?
How could he say something kind?
Lian An’s face immediately turned red. Although he was talented, he was a well-mannered person. Although he was full of evil ideas and wanted to strangle Yu Mingyong to death, he contained his urge. It was the first time that he had met such a domineering person like Yu Mingyong. He was so embarrassed and angry that he couldn’t even say a word.
Having been slapped twice, He Yuxiu was confused. Now she came to her senses and realized that it was Yu Mingyong. She hid behind Lian An, looking like a timid wife.
As they were making a scene, many people who happened to pass by gathered around them. Especially when they heard Yu Mingyong scolding the adulterers, they ran over to watch. This caused Lian An’s face to turn pale. He wanted to find a hole to hide in it. He shook off He Yuxiu’s hand forcefully and walked towards the manor, planning to walk away.
Although he was smart, it was the first time that he had encountered such a shameful thing, so he was panicked at the moment.
