The Return of the Condor Heroes: Starting with Conquering Huang Rong
Chapter 24: Newlywed, Two Women Clash
The room was filled with the colors of spring.
Yu'er, having just experienced the pleasures of love, recovered quickly thanks to her martial arts training.
Yang Guo naturally felt sorry for the beauty.
He pulled her into his arms and said, "You need to rest now."
The fish felt wronged and secretly cursed itself for being so useless.
Yang Guo then thought of something: "Yu'er, do you know the woman who came into my room yesterday?"
"Huh? I don't know him."
Yang Guo noticed that she was not being honest; just half an hour ago she had said she would help him deal with Huang Rong, so he thought she was talking nonsense.
Looking at her now, how could I not know what she was thinking?
She said slowly, "There's a tiny bit of a connection."
Yang Guo was puzzled. "You were just so confident that you would subdue her, and now you have no connection at all?"
"My lord, my name is Cheng Yaojia."
Yang Guo asked, puzzled, "Who is it?"
Wait, isn't this the wife of the Lu family manor lord?
Yang Guo sat up in surprise.
"Cheng Yaojia?"
"I still prefer you to be called Fish."
Yang Guo had a headache, so he decided to take this woman away.
"Does my lord still want me?" Her tone was sly, yet tinged with unease.
Yang Guo would never do something so despicable, nor was he interested in being cuckolded. He completely forgot that he was the one cuckolding someone else.
The question is, how do you bring it?
He pondered for a moment and said.
"Fish, is there a maid in this manor named Bi'er?"
Hearing Yang Guo say this, one can easily guess what he was thinking.
Rourou said, "My lord, don't worry, as long as you're willing."
Yang Guo felt a headache coming on. "What good is it if I'm willing?"
How could they just leave Lu Family Village like that? They could sneak away, but what would they do afterward? Would they be ruined and disgraced?
Yang Guo knew that reputation was the most important thing in this world.
If she leaves like this, she will never be able to face anyone again.
It's just that after the darkest hour comes the dawn.
"My lord, we have never consummated our marriage."
Yang Guo had just verified this, so he naturally knew it.
"Now, the title of husband and wife is almost gone."
Yang Guo was puzzled. He had thought she was a woman who lived alone in seclusion, or that she and that man were not on good terms and had never shared a room.
However, there is another hidden story.
The fish slowly began to tell her story.
Unexpectedly, this Master Lu is incompetent. Not only is he incompetent, but he also resorts to moral blackmail. And to make matters worse, he might even use some underhanded tactics.
That Bi'er is indeed suspicious.
Although Lu Guanying was well-known in the martial arts world, unfortunately, his name was only known in the Taihu Lake area.
Cheng Yaojia only knew that he had been suffering from a chronic illness since his early years and had consulted doctors and received treatment in secret, but without any effect. In recent years, he seemed to have obtained some kind of prescription and had been researching its effects.
However, it seems there have been no results yet.
Could it be that Da Wu and Xiao Wu are really taking drugs? They seem to be in a trance, as if they've ascended to heaven. Could it be that the drugs have hallucinogenic effects?
Or could this medicine cure Lu Guanying's intractable disease?
"My lord, while these matters may not be enough to ruin his reputation, they are sufficient to make him compromise and sign the divorce papers. Most importantly, he is about to lose his temper."
"What?" Yang Guo asked, puzzled.
"Offspring." Cheng Yaojia lay on him and continued leisurely, "He brought it on himself. Back then, when he had some reputation, he refused to take a concubine even when I suggested it, in order to maintain his good reputation. He only wanted to maintain the image of a perfect couple to gain more prestige."
"But gradually, he couldn't hold on any longer. Even if he pinned the blame for not having children on me, it was no longer useful. So he secretly adopted someone and asked me to use him as a cover. But by then I already knew his true colors, so I refused."
"My Cheng family is not weak and easily bullied. In addition, my master is Sun Bu'er, one of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen Sect. My master dotes on me, so he is naturally wary of me and dares not touch me."
"But now I'm afraid he's about to lose patience. After all, it's been too long, and he must be getting anxious about not having any children."
"So you're planning to use this to threaten him into a divorce?"
Cheng Yaojia slowly shook her head and said, "Not only a divorce, but I also want half of the Lu family's assets."
Yang Guo was dumbfounded. Was this woman still the same gentle and weak woman who was at his mercy?
Why are all the women he meets so opinionated?
Seeing his expression, Cheng Yaojia thought he was angry: "My lord, it's not that I'm heartless, but this person has made me suffer a bad reputation for more than ten years without ever thinking of me. I... I can't stand it."
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
Yang Guo naturally didn't blame her; he was just sighing.
Seeing her fragile, tearful appearance,
He quickly comforted her, "Fish, don't misunderstand, you did the right thing. And it's not enough."
"Ah!" Cheng Yaojia, who was about to cry, looked dazed and then burst into laughter through her tears.
"From what you just said, he used to do those filthy things at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. Do you think he can resist tonight?"
"Ah, what does my lord want?" She was still a bit naive.
Yang Guo didn't have such an idealistic view. He thought that if she were to speak frankly, she would probably get nothing, and might even be splashed with dirty water. So, he decided to let the world see for themselves, and things would be different.
Cheng Yaojia, who hadn't originally planned to attend the banquet that evening, decided to go.
Huang Rong saw that Cheng Yaojia had gone and never returned, and she waited and waited but no one came.
He went to look for Yang Guo, but he wasn't in his room.
Only by asking the servants can one get an answer: Madam Lu likes to go to the quiet place in the backyard; if you can't find it there, you can go and take a look.
Led by her servant, Huang Rong arrived at the backyard and, as expected, saw Cheng Yaojia drinking tea alone in the courtyard.
What's wrong? You've been going for so long just to find a different place to drink tea?
Cheng Yaojia was in excruciating pain. The more indulgent she had been just now, the more pain she was in now. She couldn't walk at all, and even though she had wound medicine, she couldn't use it. She could only apply some cooling and pain-relieving cream.
Then you can sit in the courtyard, drink tea, and bask in the sun.
That young man had already run away.
Just then, Huang Rong arrived.
She couldn't even get up now, so she could only smile apologetically and say, "Please forgive me, sister. I have a cold and an injury on my foot, which just flared up again, so I can't greet you." She thought to herself that snake venom was really effective and she would use it again next time.
Huang Rong was speechless. She was fine just a moment ago, and now she can't even stand up?
However, Huang Rong noticed her difference; Chief Huang's eyes were still very sharp.
Of course, Cheng Yaojia has changed. She wanted to hide it, but she couldn't now. It just ended not long ago; the spring chill still lingers in her eyes. She gasps for breath with the slightest movement. Are you sure it's a cold or snake venom?
Could it be that there's another wound?
Huang Rong knew that this woman was rushing to find either Lu Guanying or Yang Guo.
Having been in the manor for so long, it would be strange if Cheng Yaojia didn't know that Yang Guo was a young man. She had just intentionally led her towards Yang Guo so that she could find out the secrets of the manor and the reason for Guo Jing's change.
"Sister is injured, there's no need for such formalities. I'm just a little worried."
"Worried? Worried about what?"
"I'm worried that the young man will be kidnapped."
Oh, does she know?
Cheng Yaojia still had some reservations, after all, she was still a married woman, and this Ms. Huang was Lu Guanying's nominal martial arts aunt.
What if Huang Rong finds out about her affair with Yang Guo?
My lover told me that Huang Rong and Guo Jing are supposedly his uncle and aunt in name only?
Wait a minute, doesn't that mean I've been demoted a generation for no reason?
Wait, no, no, no matter which husband's family you're counting from, I'm still a level below Huang Rong. Luckily, everyone's accounted for separately.
To say whether Cheng Yaojia was ever jealous of Huang Rong, the answer is definitely yes.
Huang Rong came from a wealthy and powerful family. Her husband was not only famous but also lived off her. She also had a daughter, who was also a beauty.
Fortunately, I'm not bad looking now, it's just that I'm not young enough. I wonder if there are any secret techniques for maintaining youthful appearance?
The legendary Nine Yin Manual?
She'd heard people in the martial arts world boast about the Nine Yin Manual, the Daoist Mystic Pearl, and techniques for preserving youth and achieving harmony between heaven and man. She didn't know if it was true or not, but it seemed she'd have to find out for herself. What if, in a few years, she grew old and lost her beauty, and this young man no longer wanted her?
But why is Huang Rong so young? She's not even two years older than Huang Rong.
"Little sister is overthinking it. I think he's the one taking other people's food. Who would take it from him?"
Why does he look so well-proportioned and strong, like an ox? It doesn't match his appearance at all, but I like him.
At this moment, Cheng Yaojia had no interest in talking to Huang Rong.
Huang Rong could also see that this woman had been trying to appease her before, but now she wasn't even acting anymore. She would drift off after saying a few words and just giggle like an idiot.
This is this.
Isn't this what it looks like when you're in the throes of first love? The image of herself in the mirror flashed through her mind in an instant.
No way, I know you want Lang, but you've already succeeded in just a short while?
That damned Yang Guo, could it be because she went to find him last night and didn't give in, that he couldn't control himself?
This woman is a married woman, and this is happening in her own home. This world has gone mad.
Huang Rong was completely bewildered: "Sister, please don't do anything foolish!"
Huang Rong's actions were not for Cheng Yaojia or Lu Guanying; they were for Yang Guo.
If they actually do something wrong, both of them will be ruined.
It was because of this concern that she drifted further and further away from Yang Guo, which is why Yang Guo eventually ended up with Cheng Yaojia.
Huang Rong's face was ashen.
Cheng Yaojia couldn't understand what she meant, but unfortunately, she didn't care: "Sister Huang, if you had a choice in your life right now, would you stick to your current path or take that new one?"
Huang Rong roared inwardly: I don't know.
Cheng Yaojia didn't give her a time to answer before saying, "Perhaps you will continue on your current path. You have a loving husband and children to cherish."
"And what about me? Besides being in this cage?"
Huang Rong remained silent. Was that so? The image of Yang Guo flashed through her mind, then froze, but there wasn't a trace of Guo Jing. What could she do? Leave? Say goodbye to the past and pursue happiness in the present?
Cheng Yaojia continued, "I don't want to be sitting here doing nothing in five or ten years."
Huang Rong still asked the question she shouldn't have: "Is it Yang Guo?"
Cheng Yaojia said firmly, "Yes."
