“Second Wife, take care. Come visit often when you have time.” After chatting for quite a while, Ye Kong finally saw Second Wife out the door.

Standing in the corner, Little Red’s heart suddenly filled with bitterness. She’d been played, let the Eighth Young Master have her for nothing. This heartless guy hadn’t said a word about using the secret manuals to trade for her freedom.

At first, Little Red thought Ye Kong had forgotten. She kept making eyes at him, but who knew that kid would keep a straight face and simply ignore her.

Not until Second Wife was seen out the door did Little Red despair. This kid’s sweet words had all been fake!

“What? Angry?” Before she knew it, Ye Kong had already returned to the hall.

“No.” Little Red lowered her head, not letting him see her tearful face.

“Not angry, then why are you crying?”

You’re too shameless! You actually ask why I’m crying? I’ve lost everything, been deceived and played with. Soon I’ll have to go back and face Second Wife’s terrifying punishment. How can I not cry?

Little Red could no longer control her emotions. Tears rushed out. She pushed Ye Kong away and ran out of the hall.

Even the noon sunlight felt so cold.

“What happened to Sister Little Red?” Lu Qin, who came in from behind, was baffled.

“Nothing, just a little misunderstanding. Hehe.” Ye Kong patted Lu Qin’s head and chased after her.

“Why are you running? Let’s talk in my room.” Ye Kong caught up with Little Red at the courtyard entrance and pulled her back.

Little Red threw a fierce tantrum, kicking and hitting, refusing to go back. She also cursed, “You heartless man! If you couldn’t bear to part with them, you should have said so early. I didn’t even ask for them. Why did you toy with me?”

“Didn’t I say I’d tell you in the room?” Ye Kong, afraid people would see, forcibly pulled her back.

“I don’t want to listen! Let me go! Liar!” Little Red simply refused to go back and kept shouting loudly, even alarming Chen Jiuniang who came out to ask what was happening.

“Damn it to hell. I never noticed before that this girl has quite a temper. Let me tell you, my temper is even bigger!” Ye Kong also became annoyed. Using force with his hand, he lifted her up, carried her back to his room, and closed the door.

“Let go! Let me go! You liar!”

Ye Kong ignored her kicking and hitting. His hand slapped the storage pouch and took out a spirit stone, snapping it into the formation eye of the Spiritual Cultivation Formation.

“Alright, shout all you want. Even if you shout yourself hoarse, no one outside will hear.” Ye Kong threw Little Red onto the bed.

“Liar! Coward! If you couldn’t bear to give the secret manuals to Second Wife, that’s fine. But you could have at least mentioned it. Why didn’t you even bring it up? You simply didn’t dare bring it up.” Little Red said as she cried, collapsing sideways on the bed.

“Hey, everyone says women are petty and love to make wild guesses. Just listen unauthorized copyto my explanation, won’t that do?” Ye Kong stood by the bed.

“Haha, serve this young master while I tell you why I didn’t bring it up with Second Wife.”

“You liar! I trusted you so much!”

“Hehe, I did lie to you. So what?”

“You bastard! Deceiving me, a pitiful little maid – what kind of skill is that!”

Ye Kong said, “I didn’t provoke you. You came to me on your own. You said you liked me, that being with me made you very happy. You also said you wanted nothing. How can you blame me?”

“In your dreams, liar.” Little Red’s heart seemed to balance out a bit. That’s right, originally she hadn’t expected to get anything. How could she make a fuss with him? Although he’d given her hope then let it shatter, that hope had been unrealistic to begin with. Trading two peerless martial arts secret manuals for a maid’s body? No one would believe it.

“Sigh, consider it my bitter fate.”

Little Red stopped making noise, thinking to herself that he’d also said he’d use the secret manuals to trade for her freedom.

“Fine, fine. I’m scared of you now. I’ll tell you right now why I didn’t bring up this matter with Second Wife today.” Only then did Ye Kong continue, “I had another idea. I won’t bring it up. You take the secret manuals back and say that by earning my trust, you stole them from me.”

Little Red, who’d been silent, opened her full, large eyes wide. “Why do it this way?”

“To gain her trust! I’m somewhat suspicious that her motive for tricking [unauthorized copy]me out of martial arts isn’t as simple as having Ye Wu learn them.” Ye Kong said.

“When you put it that way, I’m also a bit suspicious. She not only cares about your martial arts, she’s asked more than once if you have any strange behaviors.” Little Red knew she’d wrongly blamed Ye Kong. A wave of guilt rose in her heart.

In the afternoon, Little Red came out of Ye Kong’s room beaming with joy. After saying a word to Chen Jiuniang and Lu Qin, she returned to Second Wife’s place.

Passing by, she encountered servants discussing her.

“Does Little Red have a man now? Look at that amorous air in her eyebrows. We never saw that before.”

“Even if she does, it has nothing to do with you. Anyone who can sleep with Little Red must be at least young master level.”

“All the good cabbages get eaten by pigs! With such a great figure, letting me sleep with her once would be worth dying for!”

Suddenly, an old servant spoke up. “Hey, hey, hey! What are you saying? Don’t want to live? Didn’t you see which courtyard she came out from?”

The two young servants turned to look, scared pale. They exchanged glances and said simultaneously, “Plague God…” Not daring to say more, they quickly covered their mouths and walked away.

“You shameless slut, you dare come back!” As soon as Second Wife saw Little Red, she immediately gnashed her teeth and cursed. At home, she wasn’t at all amiable like before. She didn’t need to show Little Red any courtesy. She could tolerate Ye Kong but couldn’t tolerate Little Red.

“Slut! You slut around some more! This old lady will tear your mouth apart!” Without waiting for Little Red to speak, Second Wife picked up the special beating stick and swung it over.

“Second Wife, you’ve wronged me. Wait until I finish speaking, then it won’t be too late to beat me.” Little [visit our site]Red dodged, but her arm still took a few hits.

“Oh? I wronged you? I’d like to see what you have to say.” Suspicion filled Second Wife’s eyes as she put down the stick.

“Second Wife, actually I was trying to complete your task. To gain his trust, that’s why I deliberately got close to them. Second Wife, actually this servant is really wronged. Letting that kid take liberties, yet having to pretend to be happy… wuu…” As Little Red spoke, she began to cry.

“True or false? I think you willingly degraded yourself.” Second Wife already somewhat believed her.

“Of course it’s true! Second Wife, look!”

Seeing the secret manuals Little Red handed over, Second Wife’s phoenix eyes immediately turned into cow eyes, also spouting flames of greed. “Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms! Nine Yin White Bone Claw!”

Second Wife practically snatched the secret manuals from Little Red’s hands and quickly flipped through a few pages. The martial arts inside indeed had some profundity. More importantly, that paper, that style – obviously antiquities.

“How did you get them? Why only get them today?” Second Wife was also a shrewd person. Even with the items in hand, she didn’t forget to ask for details.

“It’s because that bastard fought with Second Young Master and Third Young Master today.”

“Oh?” Second Wife became interested and rarely said, “Sit down and speak.”

Little Red didn’t presumptuously sit down. Still standing, she said, “It’s like this. After that bastard finished beating the two young masters and went back, he felt unsatisfied. He said he hadn’t beaten enough, so he set his sights on me. He said I was also Second Wife’s person, so he had to bully me to feel satisfied… wuu…”

Women all have natural acting talent. As Little Red spoke, she actually cried. Second Wife’s heart also filled with indignation. She slapped the table and cursed angrily, “That bastard! Why didn’t you run back?”

“At first, he didn’t say he’d bully me. He tricked me, saying he’d show me his Beggar Gang Dog-Beating Staff. Who knew that once I entered the room… wuu.” Little Red wailed again.

Second Wife looked doubtfully at the two secret manuals in her hands and raised her head. “Right, weren’t there supposed to be three? Where’s the Dog-Beating Staff technique?”

“Wuu… there are only two. There’s no Dog-Beating Staff technique at all. What he meant by that, was his, his, his filthy thing!”

“Filthy thing?” Second Wife didn’t understand.

“He undid his pants and it came out…”

If Second Wife still didn’t understand, she’d be stupid. She spat. “Really a bastard!”

Little Red continued, “Only then did I understand why these secret manuals couldn’t be found anywhere. Turns out he’d put these two books in a pocket sewn inside his pants.”

“Oh, so that’s where they were hidden.” Second Wife nodded, already fully convinced. She asked again, “Then how did you get them later?”

“Wuu…” Little Red wiped her tears again, as if she’d suffered great grievance. “That bastard said to help him wash his pants. Only then did I get these two secret manuals.”
