Chapter 80: No Chance for Sophistry

"Are you punishing me?" Si Yechen continued to cling to her, "As long as you forgive me, I'm willing to do anything."

"Really?" Ou Yan's eyes lit up, "Anything?"

"Mm." Si Yechen nodded seriously, waiting for the girl's punishment.

"Then, punish you not to find me for two days, let me have some peace and quiet."

She needed some time alone and had many things waiting for her personal attention.

Recently, she couldn't get things done properly because of this guy bothering her all the time!

This was a good opportunity.

"Yan Yan..."

This punishment was too harsh for Si Yechen! His heart felt torn, painful, and he softly coaxed, "Can we change it?"

"..." Ou Yan was somewhat speechless, "Wasn't it you who suggested this?"

"Don't talk about two days, I can't even go for two hours without finding you." Si Yechen looked at her seriously and honestly, "How can I not find you?!"

"Then, I'll punish you to keep your distance for these two days, don't touch me."

At least, not in public...

"..."

This punishment was equally heavy for Si Yechen. He bargained with the girl, "Can it be another punishment? Like hiring someone to beat me up, and I'll cover the expenses?"

"Are you itching for a fight?"

"Or starving me for a few days, not letting me eat, or making me kneel on the keyboard..."

"..."

On the side, Li Yusha couldn't take it anymore. "Sister, can you stop it? I just talked to Ah Chen a bit. Why are you making things difficult for him? Your temper is really..."

"What does it have to do with you?" Ou Yan casually lifted her gaze, seemingly not taking her seriously, her imposing aura making people somewhat apprehensive.

Si Yechen, on the side, seriously observed the girl's beautiful face. "Even if you punish me to kneel for three days and three nights, I have no objections."

"Did you hear?" Ou Yan looked at Li Yusha, her tone indifferent, "Our matters are none of your business."

Si Yechen was overjoyed when he heard "our matters"! "Us"!!

Li Yusha was infuriated and could only shift her gaze to Si Yechen. "Ah Chen, you can't always spoil her like this. If it continues like this, you'll..."

"I'm willing." Si Yechen, still immersed in the joy from earlier, gave Li Yusha a dissatisfied look, "Fiancées are meant to be spoiled. Whatever Yan Yan does to me, I'm happy with it."

Li Yusha was really angry. "I'm afraid that in the future..."

"If you get angry with me in the future, it only means you care about me." Si Yechen looked at the girl in his arms with gentle and affectionate eyes.

Ou Yan:...

Li Yusha:!!!

"Wow, it's early in the morning, and you're already so lovey-dovey! Did I come at the wrong time?" Li Yuanfu hurriedly stopped in his tracks, grinning as he put his arm around Song Qiaoying's shoulder, "Wife, let's have breakfast in the garden. Let's leave the lovebirds to themselves..."

"Sure, sure..." Song Qiaoying couldn't stop smiling, seeing Li Yusha still sitting at the dining table, she said, "Yusha, what are you still doing? Let's go..."

Don't disturb the world of the two of them!

Li Yusha reluctantly glanced at Si Yechen, not understanding how this guy had been enchanted by Ou Yan.

What was so good about Ou Yan?!

Without others around, Si Yechen became unrestrained, clinging to Ou Yan endlessly.

Finally arriving at the company, Ou Yan felt relieved. She instructed He Ning, "Go and call Manager Chen from the production department and the team leaders from lines four and five to my office."

"Yes." He Ning went to call them, and many employees in the company started gossiping.

Since Ou Yan took over the company, anyone summoned by her faced a miserable outcome!

This time, she asked He Ning to call Manager Chen from the production department and the team leaders from lines four and five...

Many curious employees followed their footsteps, wanting to know if there was any big news.

"Miss Ou, are you looking for us?"

Entering the office, Manager Chen, around forty years old with a slender figure that seemed malnourished, and the two team leaders, looked a bit anxious but managed to smile and greeted, "Good morning, Miss Ou."

Ou Yan wasted no time and threw her phone on the table, playing the recorded audio.

【Xiao Wang, as the team leader of line four, how can you lead the opposition against me like this? Whether you agree or not, this is how it should be done...】

【Manager Chen, didn't Mr. Hu promise us a better future? Even if it's not about getting rich quickly, at least we shouldn't have to worry about our basic needs.】

【Has Mr. Hu treated you badly this past year? Can't you see? Now, with Miss Ou in charge, she oversees every detail. Lines four and five must stop immediately, and the inventory in the warehouse must be cleared in the next two days, or even Mr. Hu will be in trouble!】

Manager Chen and the team leader of line four, Wang Bang, turned pale upon hearing this!

These were the words they said in the hallway. It was recorded so clearly...

Could there be a bug in the hallway?

Or did Ou Yan really eavesdrop on them last night?!

"Miss Ou, this, what is..." Manager Chen couldn't believe it, not knowing how to explain!!

Impossible ah!!

He had checked the surveillance thoroughly. No one had entered or left the company last night. He even deliberately checked the surveillance at that time, and every second was recorded. If someone had appeared, it would have been recorded!

Unless that person could turn invisible!!

Otherwise... how to explain all this?!!

There wasn't even a chance for them to argue.

Turns out Manager Chen didn't mishear last night. There was the sound of a vibrating phone. It should have been someone hiding in the warehouse, recording!!

But they had searched the warehouse thoroughly. From inside to outside, front and back, they had looked several times. Not even a mosquito could fly out of their sight!

How was this recording made?!

Chapter 79: How Can You Pay Attention to Me?

"Ah Chen..." Li Yusha, seeing him about to leave, immediately grabbed the hem of his clothes, "I like you, really like you... Can you look back at me?"

"Cough..." At this moment, Zhang Mama coughed from a distance, as if signaling something.

Li Yusha followed Zhang Mama's gaze and saw Ou Yan walking down the stairs step by step. She was scared and quickly let go of her hand, stammering, "Sister, you... don't misunderstand."

Oh no, will my sister tell Mom and Dad about this? Will they think I have impure intentions and kick me out of the house?

If that happens, I'm finished!

"You guys continue," Ou Yan said casually as she walked towards the kitchen.

Earlier, she had watched this drama unfold from upstairs, but as she watched, she got hungry and didn't want to see it anymore.

Si Yechen, with an unhappy expression, glanced at Li Yusha and immediately caught up with Ou Yan. He explained anxiously, "Yan Yan, things aren't as you think..."

"Oh? How are they, then?" Ou Yan said indifferently as she walked towards the kitchen, her tone dismissive.

"She just touched my clothes." Si Yechen immediately took off his suit jacket and threw it into the trash.

Li Yusha, who was still standing in place, felt as if she had been slapped hard, embarrassed and humiliated!

He actually found her touching his clothes dirty!

"Yan Yan..." Si Yechen grabbed Ou Yan's hand, "Are you angry? I'll change my pants."

When he went upstairs, he called Li Canshi, "Which pair of pants in the wardrobe haven't I worn?"

"What's going on?" Li Canshi sat up abruptly from the hotel bed, looking surprised, "Si Yechen, did you go bankrupt? Can't even afford pants? I can transfer some money to you for relief. You can't lose face no matter what..."

"Which one haven't you worn?" Si Yechen restrained the urge to punch him, pushed open the wardrobe door, about twenty square meters in size, neatly organized with clothes for different seasons, occasions, and materials...

But the colors leaned towards the flamboyant side, full of a trendy and hip-hop vibe, not Si Yechen's style.

"The ones on the left are all from brand sponsors. They've all been washed before entering the wardrobe. How did you go bankrupt? Tell me, this is a big deal. Even if you're in trouble, you can't lose face..."

Before Li Canshi finished joking, Si Yechen directly ended the call.

After changing his pants, Si Yechen saw Ou Yan talking on the balcony. Her slender figure was elegant and pleasing to the eye.

Seeing her finish the call, Si Yechen approached, "Yan Yan, I've changed."

Ou Yan took a look, and indeed, he had changed into a new pair of pants. How did he have pants in her house??

"Yan Yan..." Si Yechen wanted to hug her.

But Ou Yan, mindful of the servants around, didn't let him have his way.

Si Yechen's heart felt as if it was missing a piece, empty and agonizing. "I..."

"Ah Chen, why did you come so early?" At this moment, Li Yuanfu came downstairs, smiling lazily and stretching.

"Uncle, good morning." Si Yechen looked at the girl in front of him, her complexion indifferent, like she was angry.

Li Yuanfu, with a smile, in a good mood early in the morning, "Good morning, Yan Yan, Sasha, you're awake too? Go ahead and have breakfast. I'll wait for your mother to join us..."

"Okay." Li Yusha looked at Ou Yan somewhat anxiously, and seeing Ou Yan heading towards the kitchen without any intention of reporting, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, if her parents knew that she had pulled Si Yechen's clothes, they would surely think she had ulterior motives...

At the dining table, Si Yechen scooped a spoonful of porridge, blew gently, and handed it to Ou Yan's lips. "Not hot, you can eat now."

Ou Yan didn't eat; instead, she picked up a cute-shaped egg burger and nibbled on it absentmindedly, thinking about what Dahei had said on the phone.

Si Yechen, taking a glass of milk, offered it to her. "Drink some milk?"

Ou Yan had no intention of drinking, so Si Yechen changed it to a cup of soy milk and handed it to her lips.

"Can you eat something yourself?" Ou Yan was a bit helpless.

"How can I make you not angry?" Si Yechen asked.

"I'm not angry," Ou Yan replied. Just as she finished speaking, her phone vibrated a few times. She glanced at the incoming call, stood up, and walked to the side to answer.

"Boss, S Gang sent a message. They want us to give up the territory within three days, or they'll blow us to bits. What do we do?"

"Hmm." They were quite arrogant.

In a place outside the border, located in a triangular area due to its position at the intersection of three countries, people called it the "Triangle Zone" or the "Illegal Zone."

It was a lawless zone with numerous small gangs vying for dominance, along with four or five major forces. Ou Yan led one of these forces.

Most of the time, her gang coexisted peacefully with others. However, since the new leader took over S Gang a few days ago, they occasionally sent people to provoke them, wanting them to give up their territory.

Their territory included a medicinal mountain with many rare herbs. Part of it was originally theirs, and part of it Ou Yan had cultivated later, making it invaluable.

Today, S Gang issued a stern warning, probably impatient, wanting to seize the medicinal mountain.

"Watch and handle it," Ou Yan said. She had just returned to this family and couldn't go to the Triangle Zone in person for the time being.

At this moment, Si Yechen hugged her from behind. Ou Yan:...

"I'm hanging up."

"Yan Yan..." Si Yechen's voice was deep and enticing.

"I'm done eating. Do you still want to eat?" Ou Yan wondered why this guy was so clingy.

The key was that from just now until now, Li Yusha had been sitting there watching. She couldn't even finish her breakfast, feeling aggrieved and frustrated!

Li Yusha couldn't believe that the usually aloof Si Yechen could be so submissive. In front of Ou Yan, he had no temper at all!

Even if Ou Yan teased him, ignored him, he still rushed to please and show weakness!

How could Ou Yan be willing to bully such a good man?!

Too much!!

"Forgive me." Si Yechen held the girl in his arms. "Pay attention to me."

"... I've been responding to you all along," Ou Yan was truly speechless, "haven't I?"

"You've become indifferent."

"... How can I not be angry?"

"How can you pay attention to me?"

"... How can I talk to you like before?" Si Yechen hugged her and didn't let go.

"... How can I make you not angry?" Ou Yan really didn't know how she used to communicate with him. She seemed to have never changed. Could it be that she missed something he said when she was absent-minded, and he felt neglected?

Chapter 144: The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng

**Chapter 144: Rumors Spread Like Wildfire**

"You're Jiang Chenchen!?" "It's her! The one who dared to sleep with our husband! Unforgivable!" An impulsive girl tried to slap her, but Jiang Chenchen intercepted her hand, holding her wrist and rendering her unable to move. They had heard rumors that the newly elected school flower had some martial arts skills. Even the school bully, Jiao Jie, couldn't match her. Today, witnessing her calm and composed moves, it seemed she indeed had some intimidating skills. But why did such a seemingly dull and lifeless beauty possess such techniques? "Let go! Sleeping with our husband and still acting shameless, exposed and still want to hit people?" They were a group, so Jiang Chenchen wasn't afraid. "Exactly! Who do you think you are? Just because you got voted as the school flower, do you think you're some kind of goddess? You're not even worthy!" The voices of the crowd overwhelmed Jiang Chenchen, making her dizzy. She pushed away the girl's hand. "What are you talking about? Who slept with your... husband?" "Stop pretending! Want to act innocent after being exposed?" Another round of group attacks ensued, and the girl at the forefront handed her a phone with disdain. "Look for yourself! Shameless!" A student in the group quickly spread the shocking news in the class group chat. Three minutes ago, an anonymous gray avatar posted a recording revealing Lu Su had been slept with and drugged with red wine. Bai Junjun and others were terrified, their faces turned pale. They didn't dare to go to school and were hiding in an outside restaurant. When they found out that one person was missing among them, and the voice in the recording didn't belong to her, they realized she had managed to stay out of the mess. Her name was missing from the list posted in the group. Jiang Chenchen, along with the accusation of sleeping with Lu Su, was dragged into the water. "It's Shi Yuexiu! She did it!" Bai Junjun and others were furious, calling her on the phone, but it was turned off. "It's over! Someone posted this to the online gossip and entertainment group! Many people... are investigating us! What should we do!? It's really over now!" "Junjun, think of a way! What should we do?" Several girls surrounded Bai Junjun, looking at her as if she were a life-saving straw. Anxiously, she shouted back, "How would I know!" ... Jiang Chenchen, cornered outside the school wall, finally understood. The incident from three days ago had resurfaced, and this time, it was outrageous—accusing her of sleeping with Lu Su. "I didn't." Why would she? In the midst of hostile glares, she explained expressionlessly. Regardless of whether they believed her or not, it was almost time for the next class, and she couldn't waste time here. But those people wouldn't let her off so easily. "You say you didn't, but evidence has been released. Are you still denying it? Do you think you're impressive just because you participated in a variety show, attempting to use despicable means to win our Su Su's favor? I'm telling you, if you don't confess here today, don't even think about leaving!" "You won't let me go, restricting my freedom?" Jiang Chenchen understood. "Call the police." She took out her phone. Normally, she wouldn't bother with such trouble and would break through the crowd effortlessly. But now, she was different. Using force might lead to expulsion. Seeing her so calm at this critical moment, not taking their words seriously, angered those people even more. Several of them tried to snatch her phone, provoking her to retaliate. The one who came closest, a boy shouting the loudest, had his wrist twisted, his chin kicked up. In the midst of the panic, he fell to the ground, and Jiang Chenchen reached out to support his head, cushioning the fall. She then placed him on the ground. Originally in awe after being caught, the person now... A painful cry! Because his chin was overturned when he fell, the pain continued even when he hit the ground. This kind of movement made those people hesitate, and no one dared to take the initiative. But their relentless verbal attacks continued, malicious words flying from every person in the crowd. Despite being surrounded, Jiang Chenchen was like a fixed target, absorbing all the verbal blows. It seemed that hiding in the crowd made them feel invisible. However, their relentless verbal attacks were formidable. Each person in the crowd, though not physically advancing, spared no mercy in their hurtful words. It seemed like hiding in the crowd made them invisible. Jiang Chenchen glanced at the time on her phone. There were still two minutes before class. She didn't have time to waste on them. "Anyone blocking me will end up like him." As she took a step forward, the crowd took a step back. They watched her cautiously but dared not interfere. No one dared to take the lead, fearing to become a target. They had all witnessed her actions. Jiang Chenchen walked out of the crowd, leaving the voices of those people behind. At the fastest pace, she rushed to the classroom, entering just as the bell rang. However, she found her desk missing. The chair was there, but someone had used a black marker to write on it. Jian—Person! Bai Junwen's face turned pale as she witnessed those people rush in like crazy, throwing Jiang Chenchen's desk out of the window and writing these two insulting words. Although she was busy studying and hadn't been online, the discussion in the classroom had already begun, making it hard to ignore. She didn't know what happened to Jiang Chenchen that day when she left abruptly, but it was undoubtedly a false accusation! It was Bai Junwen and her friends who did it, so why hurt Jiang Chenchen, who was also a victim? Even if she slept with their idol because of this, did she deserve this verbal violence? She couldn't understand. The person who never dared to speak to everyone, now confronted them for this reason, also having chalk powder thrown on her face, leaving the words "despicable companion" on her skin. Those people left through the back door, and Jiang Chenchen entered through the front door, witnessing everything, including the tearful and panicked Bai Junwen. She quickly clenched her fist, wiped her face with her sleeve, but the ink from the marker couldn't be erased, leaving her skin red. Feeling extremely upset, she took off her school uniform jacket and covered Bai Junwen's head. Then, she rushed out through the back door and brought down two boys and three girls. Screams filled the air, and if not for the head teacher rushing in to stop her, those people would've suffered even more. The head teacher witnessed the seemingly dull but beautiful transfer student stepping on a boy's left hand. Crushing it. Expressionless, she said, "Used this hand to write? Destroy it." Her actions were too extreme, even for a retaliatory act out of anger. The deputy head teacher, even if biased, couldn't do anything. The boy, Zhu Yang, had a father who was a director of the school. He wasn't treated any lower than the previous school's beauty! In the office, Zhu Yang's homeroom teacher slammed the table, "Considering the impact and the chaotic things circulating online, expel this kind of student early!"

Chapter 143: The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng

**Chapter 143: Is This One of Your Methods?**

And this person, Jiang Chenchen recognized. It was Zhao Han. The person discussed the most in school today appeared here? Jiang Chenchen looked at him. He was wearing the school uniform, looking no different from when she had seen him before. It seemed like the academic rankings today didn't affect him much. He pushed open the door and walked straight toward her. Seeing this, Wu Bi hurriedly said to him, "I'm sorry, but the store is not open to the public today." "Hmm?" Jiang Chenchen turned her gaze. Wu Bi: "..." Sometimes, students would mistakenly enter the shop, but he usually discouraged them, claiming the shop wasn't open. However, this student clearly knew Miss Jiang, and despite hearing Wu Bi's words, he continued to approach, walking directly to Jiang Chenchen. His deep eyes looked firmly at her through the gap in his semi-long bangs. "Can I talk to you for a moment?" Jiang Chenchen looked at him. "What do you want to say?" "Come over here." He pointed to a corner table in the hall. Jiang Chenchen said, "But I haven't had lunch yet." "..." The more ordinary and expressionless Jiang Chenchen appeared, the more Zhao Han's eyes changed imperceptibly. He lowered his gaze. "About Xia Changli." Jiang Chenchen had also wanted to contact Xia Changli but couldn't reach her. Hearing him, she walked with him to the corner table. Wu Bi called out, "Aren't you going to eat first? It won't taste good when it gets cold." "Wait for me; I'll be right there to eat." The two sat down, and with the broad-leaved plants blocking their view, Wu Bi could only see half of Jiang Chenchen's profile. Why did that guy mention Xia Changli? But the voices in the corner were too low to hear. Jiang Chenchen looked at the person opposite her. Although she knew he seemed to have intentionally followed her several times, she hadn't seen any inappropriate behavior. So, she didn't pay much attention to it. But sitting face to face like this was a first. "What do you want to say?" she asked. "What happened to Li Li?" Zhao Han, as he sat down, leaned in slightly. His gloomy eyes stared at her, and he coldly said, "Please tell her that everything today is as she wishes." Jiang Chenchen didn't quite understand. "What does this have to do with Li Li?" Zhao Han's mouth curved into a mocking smile. "I haven't seen her for several days. She doesn't answer my calls. Please tell her, tonight, at the entrance of Jiang Park, I will wait for her to come and see me." "I can't contact her either. She didn't answer my calls." "She's at Qingjiang University. You can find her there." Zhao Han's gaze swept over her face, and he quickly stood up. He pulled out a banknote from his wallet and said, "I'll treat you to lunch today. Consider it my thanks in advance." He placed the money on the table. Jiang Chenchen also stood up. "I don't need you to treat me, but I want to ask you, why did you kiss her that day?" This question made Zhao Han's lowered eyes change slightly. He sneered, "Don't you understand what it's like to like someone?" He raised his head, locking his gaze firmly on her. "Aren't you experienced in emotions?" Jiang Chenchen looked into his eyes, ignoring his somewhat mocking words. A strange illusion floated in her mind. "Who are you? Why do I feel like I've seen you before? Have I met you before?" Zhao Han observed every change in her expression, but there wasn't much. He snorted, "Is that so? Let me introduce myself. I'm Zhao Han." Jiang Chenchen felt no familiarity with the name, but his eyes seemed somewhat familiar. She even had the urge to reach out and lift his side-swept bangs to confirm, but he stopped her with a raised hand. "Is this one of your methods?" she asked. "What method? I just wanted to confirm," he replied. "Confirm what? Are you trying to make me feel guilty?" Jiang Chenchen found him rather inexplicable. "I don't understand what you're talking about. Why would I feel guilty towards you?" The more indifferent she appeared, the more Zhao Han felt a sense of gloominess inside. "What you've done in the past is something you know best. Today's conversation ends here. I hope you can pass on my words to Xia Changli. If not, I'll probably be waiting for her at Jiang Park entrance." He glanced at the tall figure approaching with a tray, his sharp, scrutinizing gaze didn't resemble that of an ordinary small shop owner. Although the shop wasn't open to the public, it operated exclusively for Jiang Chenchen. He sneered inwardly, leaving the money on the table and walked away through the glass door. Wu Bi didn't have a good impression of this person. Though he was just a high school student, his profound thoughts made him far from ordinary. "Is he your classmate?" Wu Bi asked. Putting the tray down, Wu Bi placed the food in front of Jiang Chenchen. The aroma wafted through the air. "He's not in the same class," Jiang Chenchen replied. "What... did he say about Teacher Xia?" "Hmm?" Jiang Chenchen looked up when she took her chopsticks. Wu Bi quickly averted his gaze and coughed awkwardly. "That... never mind, take your time eating." "Lili is his tutor. That day..." Wu Bi was puzzled. "What happened that day?" Jiang Chenchen shook her head. "Nothing." It wasn't necessary to bring up such matters, especially when it concerned Xia Changli. She had seemed quite distressed that day. Wu Bi saw she didn't want to talk about it. Still, sensing something was wrong, he said earnestly, "If you encounter any trouble, feel free to tell me. Although Mr. Sheng isn't here, I can still help." "I'm fine. Thank you." Jiang Chenchen lowered her head to eat. The dishes made today were different from before. She tasted each one and said to the person still standing beside her but with a wandering mind, "Not bad, Xiao Wu. You're one step closer to the chef now." Wu Bi: Hehe... Not at all! After finishing her meal, Jiang Chenchen called Xia Changli again, but there was still no answer. However, she quickly received a text message. "Chen Chen, I can't answer the phone right now. I'll contact you after school in the afternoon." Jiang Chenchen considered and sent a reply. "Lili, I'll come find you after school." There was no further reply. She silently stared at her phone. Soon after, she picked it up, and the note with money was still on the table. She reached out to take it, feeling obliged to return it. As for the things Zhao Han mentioned, she couldn't recall. Why did she feel like she had seen him before? Her memory was excellent, and she usually remembered everyone she had met. If she didn't recognize him, why would he say such inexplicable things? She couldn't figure it out, but she didn't dwell on it. She took a book from the shelf and some test papers, and when it was time for the next class, she returned to school. However, many people blocked her outside the school gate. All of them were students from Qingli High School—both boys and girls. They cornered her in a corner outside the school wall.

PWDLAW Chapter 144: Ideas

Chapter 144: Ideas

This would also encourage other counties to follow suit. Generally, the time for the women's talent competition in each county varied. This was something Chu Heng had mentioned to her. Considering that the competition aimed to promote the virtues of women and women from one county could be married to another, the competition dates were intentionally staggered by a day or two. Moreover, she wanted to spread the exciting news to the capital. Of course, the possibility of this happening was small. However, as long as the number of people under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate increased, it would be a considerable accomplishment. For an official like the county magistrate, who held a rank of eighth grade, an increase in the number of people under his jurisdiction would contribute to his promotion during the triennial assessment. Because of this, Ye Muyu planned to use Chu Heng who was a scholar to deal with the county magistrate and conduct this business. With this approach, Soft Fragrance Cakes would surely become popular. She could then sell them at an excellent price. However, now that Chu Heng suddenly informed her that Xie Family's Third Young Master, Xie Yu, was interested in the milk-flavored cakes, Ye Muyu had to reconsider her plans. The Xie family was originally a family of high officials, with Xie Yu's great-grandfather having held a position as a third-ranking official and served in the Imperial Cabinet which was a significant position. However, for some unknown reason, the Xie family returned to their hometown later. This did not mean that the Xie family had no officials serving in the government, quite the opposite. Xie Yu's uncle currently served as the county magistrate in the nearby county. Moreover, Xie Yu's father also had the title of a scholarly degree holder. If not for his poor health, he would have passed the imperial examination and become a Jinshi. Not only that, the Xie family was the wealthiest in the entire Nanchang County, owning numerous shops and estates. Many renowned stores in the county were under the Xie family's name. In short, the Xie family was very wealthy even to the point where the county magistrate had to show them some face. Ye Muyu had planned from the beginning to sell the cake recipe to the Xie family. To get the Xie family's attention and confirm the value of the cakes, she naturally needed to make the milk-flavored cakes famous first. The women's talent competition, facilitated through the county magistrate, was the most suitable method. After all, on that day, every commoner would receive a celebratory blessing cake. It would be difficult not to become famous. In this way, the cake recipe in her hands could be sold at an excellent price. At the very least, it would not be undersold. As for why she didn't sell it herself and slowly accumulate silver, it was the result of Ye Muyu weighing the pros and cons. Firstly, her health was not good and making two or three cakes a day was her limit. If she made more, the earnings from selling cakes wouldn't even cover the cost of her expensive medication. Secondly, hiring someone else to do it was also unreliable. Revealing the recipe at once would expose it and she urgently needed a sum of silver to buy a shop and cover the costs of other businesses. Cakes were just one of the modern delicacies and she didn't necessarily have to keep the cake recipe to herself. After several considerations, selling it off seemed more suitable. In this way, if she wanted a satisfactory price, she could only do business with the richest family in the county, the Xie family. Ye Muyu had also confirmed Xie Yu's character through Chu Heng and was sure he wouldn't engage in extortion or robbery. This led her to make this decision. Of course, there was another crucial reason. Cakes were best enjoyed when fresh but in those times, there were no refrigerators and even ice blocks were a luxury only for the rich. Even if she opened her own shop, she wouldn't sell cakes which were not easy to preserve. Moreover, a county town's consumption was not large and at most, the cakes would only be sold fresh initially. Over time, she could only earn one or two taels of silver a month. After all, cakes were ultimately just a type of pastry. On the other hand, the Xie family was different. The Xie family had shops in the nearby county towns and they could expand their business to the surrounding areas, undoubtedly earning much more than her.

Chapter 143: Letter

There were quite a few honey jars indicating that they were not cheap. Why did Chu Heng suddenly think of buying honey? In the countryside such things were rare since people mainly consumed maltose instead of white sugar. In any case, this jar of honey seemed quite luxurious to Ye Muyu. No matter how much she thought about it Ye Mutu couldn't fathom Chu Heng's change of heart. She considered that perhaps he decided to reciprocate after his mother, Chu Liushi, brought some pastries and pickled vegetables in the morning. Chu Heng might not want to take advantage of her, so he sent a gift in return. Thinking about the relatively high value, Ye Muyu reasoned that it might be related to the monthly silver he gave to the original owner. Putting aside these thoughts, Ye Muyu decided to seal the honey jar. Seeing the honey, her first thought was to make honey citron tea. However, she couldn't find any citrons at the moment. Since the citron season was around August or September, she would have to settle for drinking honey water daily for now which was good for beauty and skincare. Setting aside the honey matter, Ye Muyu remembered the letter from Chu Heng. She opened the letter and read it slowly. There wasn't much written on it but it was enough to surprise Ye Muyu. Chu Heng had helped her find potential customers? When he mentioned that Young Master Xie from the Xie family wanted to buy the milk-flavored cakes and even a fellow student named Du Heng wanted to purchase them, Ye Muyu immediately thought that her plan to sell the cakes just got much simpler. Thinking it over, Ye Muyu picked up the letter and stood up. "Mom, where are you going?" Chu Ziluo continued patiently with her embroidery. Seeing Ye Muyu stand up after reading the letter, she curiously asked, "Mom, is this a letter from Dad? What did Dad write in it?" "Of course, there are also inquiries about your situation with Xiao Jin." Ye Muyu nodded. "Ziluo, how have I been recently? Will Dad be dissatisfied?" "You're doing great. Dad will be satisfied. Mom, where are you going?" Chu Ziluo asked with a slight tremor, her voice low. "I'm sorry. Dad will not be dissatisfied." "You're very good and your dad will be satisfied. Mom is going to write a letter to your dad now." Ye Muyu smiled gently. Chu Ziluo happily grinned, grabbing the hem of Ye Muyu's dress, following her. She was becoming more and more comfortable with Ye Muyu. Ye Muyu entered the study, letting Ziluo help her grind ink. Chu Ziluo had only done this once or twice before, grinding ink for Chu Jin, as he was still young. Since the act of grinding ink required patience, Ye Muyu didn't let Chu Ziluo handle all of Chu Jin's tasks. However, whenever Ye Muyu needed to write she would let Chu Ziluo grind the ink as a way of teaching her. After a while, Chu Ziluo happily said, "Mom, I've ground the ink." "Very good." Ye Muyu praised as usual "You've improved since the last time." Hearing this, Chu Ziluo's mouth curled up with a smile. She seemed very happy and had made up her mind to learn well. Seeing that Ye Muyu had taken up the brush, she quickly restrained her emotions, quietly watching by the side. Ye Muyu wrote a simple letter to Chu Heng, expressing her desire to meet with Young Master Xie. Originally, she planned for Chu Xing to go to the county first to sell the milk-flavored cakes allowing most of the county residents to know about this pastry. Later, she would expand to the neighboring county. When the county announced the women's talent competition, the county would surely be lively on that day. At that time, she would recommend herself to the county magistrate and celebrate with a big cake to bring joy to the people. The county magistrate might agree, considering there was no cost to him and it would create a festive atmosphere, potentially attracting attention from other counties.

Chapter 599: Third Young Master Apologizes, Soft Couple Moves into Xiangxi Manor

Xiao Guang saw Qin Ruan's indifferent and calm expression, and his face was full of unwillingness.

Qin Ruan's gaze was cold and unyielding as she faced the evil creature before her. She was used to being in a dominant position in front of evil creatures, and even a casual glance carried an inexplicable majesty.

Xiao Guang faced the suppressing pressure that made his soul unstable but gritted his teeth and said, "The evil creatures lurking in the darkness are getting restless. Sooner or later, the boundary between the Underworld and the human world will weaken, and the chaos between the Yin and Yang realms will be unimaginable."

Qin Ruan's lips slightly curved, and she chuckled softly, "What do you want to say?"

Xiao Guang didn't expect her to be indifferent; his breathing became heavy, and the resentment in his eyes overflowed.

The messenger beside him used the Soul-Locking Chains to pull Xiao Guang, silently urging him not to waste time.

"Be careful of the Yin Yang Sect."

This was Xiao Guang's last words to Qin Ruan before leaving.

The Yin Yang Sect?

A sect mainly focused on cultivating demonic energy, located far away in the southern seas.

Qin Ruan let out a faint laugh upon hearing this. As long as they didn't provoke her, she didn't have the time to go all the way to the southern seas to deal with them.

If they really wanted to disrupt the order of the mortal world, she would undoubtedly root them out and wipe them out.

Whether human or demon, her duty was to maintain the order of this land.

After dealing with Xiao Guang and Shao Qiao and absorbing a considerable amount of malevolent energy from Shao Qiao, Qin Ruan left the flower house in a cheerful mood.

She pushed open the door of the flower house and saw Lin Hao standing at the front door, along with Hou Yunjiao and two others.

Hou Yunjiao was wearing a heavy windbreaker, standing in the gentle breeze without knowing how long he had been there.

The delight in Qin Ruan's eyes dissipated, and her face instantly turned serious. "Why did you come out?"

She walked quickly to Hou Yunjiao's side and held his hand, leading him towards the small building.

"Ruan Ruan, walk slower, be careful of your stomach."

Hou Yunjiao was forced to walk quickly, his deep and gentle eyes fixed on Qin Ruan's belly, afraid that she might accidentally fall.

To stabilize Qin Ruan's hurried footsteps, he held her small hand tightly.

Qin Ruan couldn't focus on what he was saying.

Her only concern now was that Hou Yunjiao shouldn't go out and must stay in the room obediently.

As they walked, Qin Ruan slowed down her pace.

Her face was expressionless, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

No, she couldn't watch Hou Yunjiao alone.

She needed Lin Hao, Hou Chuan, and Hou Qiang to watch over him together.

The image of the punishment hall surfaced in Qin Ruan's mind.

As long as she took over the punishment hall, the secret guards of the Hou family would obey her. The allure of this position was indeed great.

Qin Ruan couldn't help but feel tempted.

But this matter had its pros and cons.

Taking over the punishment hall wasn't impossible, but it required her to expend a considerable amount of effort.

The Hou family's punishment hall was involved with too many matters. It wasn't as simple as just receiving a physical object. She needed the recognition of everyone and enough means to suppress those people.

Hou Yunxiu approached Qin Ruan, hugging her into his arms. "What's wrong?"

Qin Ruan raised her eyes and looked at the beautiful and charming profile of the man beside her. The balance in her heart began to tilt slightly.

"It's nothing. I instructed them to pack their belongings, and we'll move to Xiangxi Manor together."

"Okay." Hou Yunjiao lips curved into a doting smile.

He embraced Qin Ruan and walked with steady steps towards the small building.

Just now, in the study on the upper floor, Hou Qiang had informed him about Qin Ruan's anger and her determination to accompany him to Xiangxi Manor.

He wouldn't refuse Qin Ruan; as long as it didn't hurt her, he couldn't refuse anything.

Hearing Hou Yunjiao's straightforward agreement, Qin Ruan looked doubtful. "You agreed so readily?"

The two of them had already entered the comfortable indoor environment of the small building.

Hou Yunjiao took off his coat and handed it to Hou Qiang, who was reaching out to take it.

He held Qin Ruan's small hand and smiled gently with a slightly ambiguous tone, "If I didn't agree, you would run away from home. How could I not go along with you?"

"..."

Qin Ruan's delicate face instantly turned red.

She remembered what she had said to Hou Yunjiao before in the room, as well as the embarrassing incident that had happened later.

Could it be that he was awake at that time and heard what she said?

Qin Ruan shook off Hou Yunjiao's hand and quickly walked upstairs.

Seeing this, Hou Yunjiao hurriedly caught up, grabbing her wrist. "Why are you running?"

His voice was gentle like water, but his actions were filled with dominance and coercion.

Qin Ruan thought to herself that this girl might really leave.

However, when she saw the embarrassed expression on Hou Yunjiao face just now, she realized what was going on.

Qin Ruan covered her ear and felt that it was a little hot.

She remembered what she had said to Hou Yunjiao in the room, and the awkward situation that followed.

Could it be that he was awake at that time and heard what she said?

Qin Ruan shook off Hou Yunjiao's hand and quickly walked upstairs.

Seeing this, Hou Yunjiao hurriedly caught up and held her wrist. "Why are you running?"

His voice was gentle and hoarse, and it carried a hint of petting.

...

Xiangxi Manor.

That night, Qin Ruan and Hou Yunjiao moved here.

Hou Yunjiao's body needed several months of adjustment, so Qin Ruan had already planned to stay here for the long term.

Now, she had to prioritize the child in her belly and allocate enough malevolent energy to the children.

As long as she persisted for a few more months, after the children were born, all the malevolent energy she had absorbed could be transformed into dark power to heal Hou Yunjiao's body.

The aura of Xiangxi Manor was indeed very comfortable, with a faint spiritual energy that made breathing feel refreshing.

Qin Ruan quite liked it here.

Compared to the grand and imposing Hou family, it wasn't inferior in the slightest.

Accompanying them were Hou Qiang, Hou Chuan, Lin Hao, and Hou Zhi, whose condition had improved.

Due to the presence of the two masters, Xiangxi Manor had increased the number of secret guards protecting it.

As Qin Ruan and Lin Hao familiarized themselves with Xiangxi Manor, Hou Yunjiao and Hou Qiang were in the study on the upper floor, discussing matters related to Qin Ruan.

Hou Qiang placed a stack of documents on the exquisitely carved wooden desk.

He took two steps back respectfully and reported, "Third Young Master, these are all the members detained in the Punishment Hall. The names suitable for Madam's practice are marked with a red circle."

Hou Yunjiao's fair and slender fingertips lightly traced over these names.

He lingered for a while on the names marked with red circles.

His seemingly cold facial features appeared somewhat impatient, as if he was hesitating about something.

The hesitation lasted only a moment before dissipating.

Hou Yunjiao went through all the names on the list, with each person's wrongdoings recorded clearly in the information.

Some were minor offenses, while others would never be able to leave the Punishment Hall.

They were no longer able to atone for their sins with death.

Chapter 598: Hell's Blood River Twin Flowers, Endless Torment

Xiao Guang and Shao Qiao's encounter happened this year.

At the beginning of the year, Xiao Guang had just arrived in the capital city and coincidentally met Shao Qiao at the Zhenpin Pavilion.

Upon learning about the forces behind the Zhenpin Pavilion, he remained calm on the surface and secretly tried to get Shao Qiao out, even seeking help from his senior martial brother.

Xiao Guang's senior martial brother had some connections with the Nangong family, and he had everything prepared. However, what awaited him was news of Shao Qiao's critical condition.

She had jumped off a building and suffered significant damage to her spleen and liver.

After enduring the darkness in the Zhenpin Pavilion for so many years, her body had already deteriorated.

Even so, Xiao Guang still took her away.

At that time, Shao Qiao didn't know that Xiao Guang was a ghost.

She only knew that he was the person who rescued her from the sea of fire.

In the guise of Lou Hong, he took care of her in every way, and it was only one night that Shao Qiao, who was fooled by luck, discovered that Xiao Guang and Lou Hong were two different people.

She witnessed Xiao Guang leaving Lou Hong's body.

One person and one ghost stood before her, and surprisingly, she showed no panic.

By then, Shao Qiao didn't have much life left.

She needed precious medicines and high-end equipment to sustain her life.

To keep her alive, Xiao Guang did many things.

He dealt with the forces in the gray areas just to earn more money, and in the process, he harmed many people's lives.

He even captured five ghosts and absorbed their ghostly power to extend Shao Qiao's life.

During this time, an intimate relationship developed between them.

The union of a human and a ghost gave birth to offspring that were neither human nor puppet.

Shao Qiao became pregnant.

Her body was weak, and she couldn't hold on until the child was born.

Despite the challenges, they were unwilling to give up on the child and found themselves in a desperate situation.

If they could enter the Underworld and rely on the pure Yin energy, they would be able to protect the child in her womb.

However, their actions couldn't be taken to the Underworld, and after death, it would take hundreds or even thousands of years for them to have a chance to enter the Underworld.

Until a few months ago, Xiao Guang learned from his senior martial brother that there was someone like Qin Ruan in the capital.

She could deal with ghosts and even send them into the Underworld's cycle of reincarnation.

Xiao Guang started paying attention to Qin Ruan and found out that she had a connection with Huang Biao. He also learned from someone close to Huang Biao that he couldn't forget about Qin Ruan.

Qin Ruan knew everything that happened afterward.

From beginning to end, Xiao Guang and Shao Qiao had planned a big game, waiting for Qin Ruan to fall into their trap.

One couldn't deny that Xiao Guang and Shao Qiao were incredibly bold.

If any part of their plan went wrong, they would have nowhere to hide.

After hearing Shao Qiao's story, Qin Ruan felt sorry in her heart but remained composed on the surface, asking, "Who is Xiao Guang's senior martial brother?"

Shao Qiao furrowed her brows and said, "He is Xu Zhenren from the Yin Yang Sect. Xiao Guang is his killing weapon. Xu Zhenren is dead now and has been disowned by the Yin Yang Sect. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had such a peaceful life these past few months."

She had resentment in her heart when mentioning that person.

The Yin Yang Sect refined their disciples into killing weapons, which was the style of their actions within the sect.

Qin Ruan was somewhat familiar with this sect.

Wu Daochang and what Xu Zhenren did, as well as the event where the Yin Yang Sect crushed Xu Zhenren's life token, were enough to show the bottomless nature of this sect.

Qin Ruan released a faint black mist around Shao Qiao.

The mist gradually took shape, revealing the weak figure of Xiao Guang.

Qin Ruan stood up and looked down at the two puppets.

Xiao Guang's weak soul was hugging Shao Qiao, his gaze alert as he looked at Qin Ruan.

Qin Ruan focused her gaze on Shao Qiao's belly, her voice cold and emotionless, "Your sins are too heavy. Even if you go to the Underworld, you won't be able to reincarnate."

Shao Qiao panicked, "You didn't say that before! You said you would send us to reincarnation."

Qin Ruan sneered, "If I were to send you to reincarnation, what about all the innocent people you harmed? You committed suicide, didn't cherish your lives, and yet you still want a chance for reincarnation, that's just wishful thinking!"

Shao Qiao touched her belly that wasn't showing and choked out, "My child is innocent."

"It shouldn't even exist." Qin Ruan's voice was cold-blooded, showing no sympathy.

Xiao Guang, being more rational, asked Qin Ruan in a low voice, "What do you want us to do?"

Without the murderous aura, his soul was weak and harmless.

If Qin Ruan wanted to kill him, it would be effortless.

Qin Ruan looked down, her voice void of emotion, "In the Hell's Blood River of the Underworld, there is a kind of flower called the Twin Flowers. You shall become these Twin Flowers to atone for your sins."

"Twin Flowers?!" Xiao Guang widened his eyes, fear and rejection overflowing in his gaze.

Legend had it that in the Underworld's Hell's Blood River, there was a flower called the Twin Flowers. One plant had two colors, and the two flowers were joined together.

They loved and fought each other endlessly on the same stalk.

They used the deepest harm to express their most profound love and hatred for each other, until death.

In the final struggle, they would be willing to kill each other, and when one of them died, the remaining one would rot quietly.

It was a flower that bloomed in hell, representing atonement, suffering, and endless torment.

Shao Qiao didn't understand all this, but Xiao Guang, who grew up in the Yin Yang Sect, knew something about these rumors.

Xiao Guang embraced Shao Qiao, his expression gradually breaking down.

"I don't want it. I can't fight and love Shao Qiao. I can't do it!"

Qin Ruan coldly questioned, "Did those people you harmed ever get the chance to say they didn't want it? Did you spare them?"

Xiao Guang tightly pressed his lips together, unable to say a word.

He had never given those people a chance to speak.

Qin Ruan hid the dangerous glint in her eyes and said in a low voice, "One hundred years. If you survive for one hundred years, there will be a glimmer of hope for reincarnation. This is your only chance at life."

"Alternatively, would you rather I refine you into a wisp of faint and ethereal waste gas in this world?"

Shao Qiao held Xiao Guang's hand and pleaded anxiously, "No!"

She didn't want to be separated from Xiao Guang.

However, Xiao Guang didn't feel the same way; he was more greedy.

He stared at Qin Ruan with complex light in his eyes, "I've only been with Shao Qiao for a short time. Why can you sympathize with other evil creatures but can't give us a chance?"

Qin Ruan coldly smiled, her obscure eyes fixed on Xiao Guang, "You are wrong. If you've done something wrong, you must pay the price for your actions."

What she didn't tell Xiao Guang was that because of the child in Shao Qiao's belly, she had already given them a chance.

Otherwise, these two ghosts would have already perished.

Whether Xiao Guang and Shao Qiao wanted it or not, they would eventually be taken away by the Underworld's messengers.

But this time, they would go to the Hell's Blood River, where countless souls were buried, and undergo a hundred years of painful torment and atonement.

As the Underworld messengers took them away, Xiao Guang suddenly turned back.

He carefully protected Shao Qiao and looked at Qin Ruan with a complex light.

"Before leaving, let me tell you something: the mortal world is not as peaceful as you think."

Qin Ruan's calm eyes showed no ripples.

She naturally knew that evil creatures hidden in the darkness were becoming restless, trying to surpass the human race.

Otherwise, the King of the Underworld wouldn't have granted her the ability to harvest evil creatures.
