Union

Chapter 37 The Collapse of Yunying

Seeing this, Chen Er wanted to tell them they had taken the wrong road, but the young master Wang had already caught up with them, grabbing and cuddling his sweetheart and coaxing her in a low voice. The two flirted and teased each other without any regard for outsiders, which Chen Er found quite disdainful.

It was at this moment that the stomachache that had been throbbing since morning intensified. His insides churned and rumbled, and without thinking of anything else, Chen Er clenched his buttocks and headed straight for the latrine.

The servant dressed in black and white shouted loudly from behind, "Second Master Chen, where are you going? We haven't finished looking at this house yet!"

"My lord, please take a look around. I'll be right back." Chen Er said and then disappeared. The way he ran away with his buttocks clenched and his stomach in his hand was so funny that it made everyone burst into laughter.

But Yunying couldn't laugh at all at this moment.

She tried to hold her breath, but the delicate fragrance of paper and ink, mixed with the man's cool breath, still wafted over her relentlessly.

He held her in his arms, albeit loosely, but when he looked down at her, his gaze was so focused and affectionate, and his smiling eyes were filled with doting affection. He coaxed her like this, his voice deep and husky, full of countless indulgences and ambiguity...

It was all an act, but the scene was so real that Yunying knew it perfectly well, and her heart inevitably raced, her cheeks turning rosy.

Just as she was feeling short of breath and wanted to push the person in front of her away, the Second Master took the initiative to release her and took a step back.

He looked at Yunying, "Just now, we acted expediently in an emergency..."

Yunying nodded hurriedly, "This servant knows that Second Master must have his reasons for doing this. It's just that this servant has been putting on an act with you, and is now exhausted, both physically and mentally. I wonder if it's alright..."

Second Master: "May I ask what?"

Yunying: "Could you please forgive me for what happened yesterday, considering how hard I worked?"

What happened yesterday?
The second master thought and thought, and suddenly remembered that tattered clothes. His gaze toward Yunying immediately turned hostile.

Second Master let out a long "Oh," and said, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it."

Yunying: "..."

Second Master: "Heh. One thing at a time. You've done well today, and I'll reward you accordingly later. But what happened yesterday—you made a mistake and you'll naturally be punished, otherwise you won't learn your lesson."

Yunying really wanted to say, "Is this about learning a lesson or not? It's about improving your skills or not."

But her needlework skills aren't something you can learn overnight. She really has absolutely no talent for it.

Yunying wanted to argue, but it was clear that the Second Master had no time to listen to her explanation. She then heard the Second Master instruct her, "Go to this artificial hill."

The artificial hill behind them was quite magnificent, clearly a feature of the house. There were entrances on both the east and west sides of the hill, and fish swam leisurely in the stream at its center. The stream's origin was unknown, but it flowed eastward to a low-lying area, disappearing below ground level and disappearing underground.

As Yunying pondered where the stream eventually flowed, she obediently entered the artificial hill.

After she entered the artificial hill, Second Master vanished in a flash, leaving Mo Xue in the background. The two figures quickly disappeared from Yun Ying's sight.

Yunying waited quietly in the artificial hill, her heart pounding.

She was worried that Second Master wouldn't be able to return on time, and she also wondered how she should cover for Second Master if Chen Er suddenly appeared.

After an unknown amount of time, Yunying heard Chen Er's voice.

"Young Master Wang? Young Master Wang, are you still there?"

Yunying had an idea and quickly kicked the pebbles at her feet into the stream. With a soft "splash," Chen Er's voice outside stopped.

Yunying gasped for breath, "Young Master, there are people outside..."

Chen Er stopped in his tracks and wouldn't go any further.

Yunying then made even bigger noises. From a distance, it sounded like clothes rubbing together and bodies colliding. The heavy breathing and the woman's faint moans reached Chen Er's ears, making him lick his lips and curse under his breath.

He thought to himself, "What a spoiled brat!" It was fortunate he had inquired about this young master Wang's background beforehand, otherwise he would have been easily fooled by his appearance. But a playboy is a playboy; no matter how much he tries to act like someone important, his words and actions don't lie.

Look at this! He's only been gone for fifteen minutes, and they're already having a huge fight over here. This is outdoors, in someone else's house! Isn't this a bit too eager and inconsiderate?

Chen Er felt contemptuous, but then he thought of the maid's stunning beauty and imagined how comfortable and carefree the young master Wang must be at that moment, and his anger flared up.

Chen Er: "Young Master Wang, it's getting late. Other merchants will be coming to see the house later. Would you like to continue looking around, or call it a day?"

The claim that other merchants came to see the house was definitely fabricated, but that didn't stop Chen Er from using it to exaggerate his abilities.

He went even further, taking two more steps closer to the artificial hill. He called out "Young Master Wang" twice more, his voice sounding almost like he was calling for a soul.

Yunying was already flustered and confused, and now she was even more at a loss. She was really afraid that Chen Er would just walk in without any manners, and then all her efforts to cover for the Second Master would be exposed.
In her anxiety, Yunying blurted out, "Hey, what are you yelling for? You'll leave when you're done!"

Her voice was sweet and delicate, as if it were mixed with honey, but the ending tone was slightly sharp and slightly upturned. Her voice was tense and her throat was constricted. For a moment, it didn't seem like she was acting, but rather like she was unable to withstand some kind of impact, and her whole body was tense and trembling.

Just then, a deep, pleasant male voice joined in.

Chen Er, who was outside, heard Young Master Wang's voice and dared not go any further.

He awkwardly touched his nose, stopped, and dared not go any further.

Meanwhile, inside the artificial hill, Yunying wished there were no cracks in the ground so she could crawl into them.

Imagine this: she's performing a live sex act, and the male lead suddenly jumps out...

Although her actions at this time were entirely understandable and she was forced into it, and even more so to cover for "Young Master Wang," she had to abandon her morals and break the bottom line.

But, but, it's really, really devastating.

In an instant, Yunying collapsed, her entire body turning as crimson as a blooming peach blossom. Her bright, watery almond eyes shimmered with a gentle, flowing spring-like light.

She was extremely embarrassed, but also incredibly beautiful, making one's heart pound.

"Young Master Wang's" gaze deepened, and he lightly pointed at Yun Ying, "You're like this..."

"What's wrong with you?" Young Master Wang couldn't say. In the end, he could only take a deep breath and tell Yunying, "Make your clothes a little messy."

Yunying hadn't come to her senses yet, and made a puzzled "Hmm?" sound.

Without further ado, Young Master Wang extended his hand.

In her panic, Yunying took a step back—to be honest, it was just a subconscious reaction; she instinctively stepped back simply to avoid being touched by "Young Master Wang."

However, she didn't know which mechanism she had triggered, but a buzzing vibration came from behind her. When she turned around reflexively, she saw that the previously heavily fortified artificial mountain wall had now turned into a dark doorway.

I recommend my completed novel, "Second Marriage": When Sang Ningyue was widowed and in dire straits, her cousin, whom she grew up with, lent a helping hand and took her to her husband's family to take care of her.

Sang Ningyue was moved to tears, but little did she know that her cousin, while outwardly gentle and considerate, was secretly plotting something. She wanted to plunder the treasures in her home and also send her to the prince as a concubine.

Sang Ningyue painstakingly maneuvered, but through a series of unexpected events, she ended up having an affair with her cousin's brother-in-law...

A female supporting character's synopsis:
