Quick Transmigration: What's Wrong with the Yandere Male Lead? It's So Good!
Chapter 40: The Cult Leader's Little Sun 8
Her aunt gripped her wrist, lowered her voice, and spoke mysteriously:
"Girls, I can tell you that you are decent people. I'll tell you something in secret. Something's been going on at that big estate on the far west side, near the mountain, lately."
Miao Chuying instantly perked up, and Han Dong, who was next to her, quickly asked, "Auntie, what's wrong?"
The aunt swallowed hard and continued in a low voice:
"That estate is very well guarded, and outsiders are not allowed to get close at all! A few days ago, I went up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables and happened to catch a glimpse of several brightly dressed women in the courtyard. They were obviously not servants."
"What respectable master would live here year-round? Besides, the owner of that estate is incredibly wealthy, paying his servants twice as much as elsewhere, but the rules are extremely strict; no one is allowed to gossip about the family's private affairs!"
The clues became clear in an instant!
Han Dong and Miao Chuying exchanged a glance, then Han Dong gave the old woman another silver ingot before joining the others and heading towards the large estate to the west, near the mountain.
Seeing the imposing gate of the courtyard from afar, you know it's no ordinary family home.
When Master Zheng saw the plaque above the entrance, his expression changed drastically, and his face was filled with astonishment:
"This...isn't this Lord Meng's estate?"
People of standing in the martial arts world all have marks that represent their status. The mark of Island Master Meng is a cloud pattern, which is currently engraved on the plaque.
The disciples present were all stunned, their faces showing surprise.
Who in the martial arts world doesn't know Meng Yunzhou, the island master?
Master Meng is thirty-two years old this year. He is highly skilled in martial arts, not only a businessman who can amass wealth and become extremely rich, but also a philanthropist who travels the world year-round.
He has helped many people in his daily life and also helps the poor. He is generous and gentle, and has an excellent reputation in the martial arts world. He is a recognized righteous person and a great philanthropist.
Who would have thought that the place full of suspicious points was actually his estate!
The crowd was both surprised and suspicious, and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"How could it be Island Master Meng? He has an excellent reputation, how could he be involved in such a thing?"
"Did we go in the wrong direction?"
Jiang Rangrang knew the answer beforehand, so she wasn't too surprised. She was just a little distracted because she had been too active today and was a bit sleepy.
Suppressing his surprise, Master Zheng stepped forward and knocked on the door. He had finally found a direction, and he needed to verify it.
The gatekeeper, seeing that almost everyone of them carried a sword, knew they were people from the martial arts world and dared not be negligent, so he quickly went to inform them.
Before long, the main gate opened wide, and a gentle and refined figure walked out slowly.
The man, dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, had a gentle and handsome face, a humble and mild temperament, and a natural smile in his eyes; he was none other than Meng Yunzhou.
Upon seeing the crowd, he showed no sign of panic; instead, he smiled, cupped his hands, and performed all the proper courtesies.
"Master Zheng, esteemed young heroes, it is an honor to have you grace our humble abode with your presence. May I ask what brings you here today?"
Pavilion Master Zheng didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Island Master Meng, we are currently investigating a series of missing women cases. Would you mind if we went in for a cup of tea?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Yunzhou smiled gently, stepped aside, and raised his hand in a gesture of invitation:
"I see, please come in."
Everyone felt a little guilty, realizing they had misunderstood a good person.
But when the group followed Meng Yunzhou into the spacious courtyard, everyone was stunned.
In the neat and elegant courtyard, five beautiful and plump women stood in a row.
The five men were dressed in fine clothes, had rosy complexions, and relaxed expressions. Upon seeing Island Master Meng, they all turned their attention to him.
This scene was quite awkward.
Meng Yunzhou spoke first, his tone frank and open, without the slightest attempt to conceal anything:
"Since you've all come this far, I won't hide it anymore. These five young women should be the missing women you've mentioned."
Before anyone could press for answers, Meng Yunzhou continued slowly:
"I have traveled extensively throughout the years and have seen these young women suffering greatly in their husbands' homes, enduring daily hardships and living in dire straits. I felt compassion for them and, after discussing the matter with them and obtaining their consent, I brought them to my estate to settle them and take good care of them."
I never coerced anyone in the slightest; the entire process was consensual and not the kidnapping and atrocities rumored.
The five women nodded in agreement.
Their faces were full of gratitude, and their eyes were filled with admiration and gratitude as they looked at Meng Yunzhou.
"That's right! We all followed Meng Lang willingly!"
"Meng Lang is a good man; he saved us from suffering and gave us a life free from want!"
"Before, I was beaten and scolded every day at home, and I suffered all kinds of grievances. Here, I feel safe and comfortable, which is a hundred times better than before!"
Everyone was stunned.
Jiang Rangrang understood their choice. She stood in the crowd, silently watching the drama unfold, when suddenly she thought of something she had seen in modern times.
Initially, some men fantasized about restoring the old system of one husband and multiple concubines, and felt that the monogamous system was unfair to them.
This group of people simply doesn't understand that monogamy has never been about protecting women; it's clearly about protecting the vast majority of men from the lower classes.
If the old system were to be abolished, society would descend into chaos, because at least half of the men would be unable to find wives.
Take male idols in the entertainment industry, for example. If they wanted to marry, they could marry hundreds or thousands (that's a conservative estimate).
Or any generous, kind, and wealthy tycoon could spend tens of thousands a month to support someone, and plenty of people would be willing.
It's better if the main character doesn't come. As long as you pay, you can be the unfavored concubine in room 1008.
You can marry as many high-quality men as you want when the time comes, as they are gentle, wealthy, handsome, and considerate.
Those who constantly complain about being a misogynist and daydream about polygamy are probably struggling to even marry one woman.
Even with monogamy, it's impossible to find a wife; if the system is changed, it will be even harder.
Jiang Rangrang was lost in thought, and the awkward situation over there quickly subsided.
All the victims volunteered and were extremely grateful. No one filed a complaint or sought accountability. They didn't appreciate the accusations at all, and instead regarded Meng Yunzhou as their savior.
Pavilion Master Zheng stood there, his face turning pale and then flushed, before finally awkwardly saying: Farewell!
Just as everyone was about to give up and leave, one of the older women stepped forward:
"Esteemed heroes, when I left home, I didn't know what the future held, so I didn't take my daughter with me. Did you see her during your investigation? How is she now?"
Jiang Rangrang recalled the girl who had been scolded and insulted by her father and couldn't help but say, "She's not doing well. I heard with my own ears that they're going to sell her when she gets older."
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately burst into tears.
Meng Yunzhou patted her on the back: "Hua Niang, don't cry. I will help you bring your daughter back."
"Waaaaah~ Meng Lang~"
Everyone, especially Pavilion Master Zheng, felt a pang of unease: "Farewell!"
The group quickly ran away, their worldviews being reshaped and they were still recovering.
Jiang Rangrang turned her head to look at Xiao Wang beside her, meeting his deep and gentle gaze, and gave him a bright smile:
What she meant was: Look! Your innocence has been proven!
Xiao Wang received the message: "We can get married and consummate our marriage now."
He gave her a look: Don't worry, I'll study it tonight.
Jiang Rangrang: ? ? ?
