Dong Huiying’s eyes shone brightly, "Master Chen has a sister?" Recently, she seemed to particularly enjoy engaging in opportunistic schemes, such as sowing discord between Nu Woer and the Green-clothed female servant. With the Green-clothed female servant annihilated by Nu Woer, she reaped the benefits without lifting a finger.
Tie Yi narrated slowly.
It was said that Master Chen had a very close relationship with his sister. They had come from Dajin, and Master Chen was a devoted brother, doting on his sister immensely.
In her younger years, Sister Chen took a fancy to a man, who, coincidentally, was also coveted by Nu Woer. At the time, Nu Woer was unaware of Sister Chen’s identity and saw her as a love rival, which led to a tragedy.
And for many years, Master Chen had been searching for Sister Chen, unaware that his sister had not disappeared but had died—at the hands of Nu Woer.
Dong Huiying stroked her chin, "If that’s the case, I’m afraid this so-called ’deal’ is actually a trap aimed at Nu Woer. It’s just uncertain whether this Master Chen is a man of true grit, after all, he has been under Nu Woer’s wing these years, and to deeply offend Nu Woer would be like pushing the entire Fierce Tiger Sect towards doom."
But she also felt a touch of sweetness in her heart, realizing that she wasn’t the only one seeking to exploit the situation. Zhi Chen must have had the same idea, wanting to incite Master Chen’s grudge against Nu Woer, hence secretly had someone send the cause of Sister Chen’s death to Master Chen.
Lao Si was exhausted, having slept hazily the entire day. At noon, he had been woken by his young wife to have a meal, and afterward, he slept through till nightfall. He sat up expressionlessly, his body covered in various marks. Yawning, a small tear hung on his eyelashes, yet his face was blank. He looked around but didn’t see his wife, so he picked up his clothes and dressed, one piece at a time.
Stepping outside, he wandered around, still unable to find his young wife. His robust and handsome face clouded over with gloom.
He stopped someone to ask about his wife’s whereabouts and was told she had gone out, which made him feel utterly dejected.
In the end, he returned to his room, pulled over a stool, and sat on it listlessly, waiting for his wife to return.
But no matter how long he waited, he never saw the little person he had been yearning for.
Lao Si, Liang Haoming: "..."
He was unhappy, very unhappy!!
Wang San had previously caught a strange illness, with his mouth swollen as if it were two thick sausages. He sought many "Doctors" at first but could never be cured. However, as time went by, the sausage mouth healed on its own.
He couldn’t wrap his head around it, but regardless, having his mouth healed made him happy!
That day, as Wang San was luxuriating in the pleasures of life, someone announced that the Steward was looking for him. Upon returning to the Fierce Tiger Sect, the Steward relayed an order from the sect leader: they were to host a distinguished guest from The Outside that evening. Wang San, craftily thinking to himself, believed it was his chance to shine. He was a backbone member at the grassroots level, but due to a poor reputation, he couldn’t progress further, and he told himself not to miss this opportunity.
If he performed well, he might even secure the title of Steward.
Wang San walked back joyfully, then suddenly saw a young girl. His face immediately darkened, "Dead girl, where have you run off to!?"
This "Chen Qiqi" was the subordinate he had taken on last month. Qi Qi had a brother named Chen Si, but a few days ago, the siblings had suddenly disappeared, causing him some regret.
Not for any other reason, but simply because Chen Qiqi’s tender and youthful figure was very much to his liking.
