Chapter 499 Pearl

"Mother, you really agree?"

Nongyu was overjoyed.

His big eyes were filled with excitement.

My mother, who is usually difficult to deal with, surprisingly agreed today. She definitely did the right thing.

Indeed, she needed to bring Mr. Cao Ze to meet her mother; otherwise, her mother wouldn't believe in her relationship with him.

Mrs. Hu, realizing she had misspoke, almost cried out.

"Agree with what?"

Madam Hu waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Mother has a bit of a headache and isn't feeling well. You all chat first, Mother will go back to her room."

She couldn't possibly stay any longer; what if Nongyu pressed her for answers and she couldn't hold back...?

Oh my god... she didn't even dare to think about what would happen next.

Nongyu stared blankly as her mother hurriedly left, feeling utterly bewildered.

"Sir, what's wrong with Mother?"

Cao Ze calmly withdrew his foot from his mother-in-law's foot. If he hadn't been accommodating to his mother-in-law, she wouldn't have been able to keep stepping on it.

"Hmm, maybe it was blown by the wind."

Cao Ze casually made up an excuse to cover for his mother-in-law.

However, when he saw Madam Mingzhu disappear among the flowers and rocks, his heart tightened.

Damn it!

What was this woman doing in her mother-in-law's room?

inside the house.

Mrs. Hu, who had just escaped into the house, hadn't even had a chance to catch her breath or sort out her chaotic thoughts when she saw a bewitching and alluring figure.

"Ming, Madam Mingzhu, what brings you to my room?"

Mrs. Hu said somewhat flusteredly.

She had heard countless times from her younger sister about Madam Mingzhu's great reputation and methods.

Even though she now knows that Madam Mingzhu has become that scoundrel's lackey, she is still somewhat afraid of Madam Mingzhu.

Madam Mingzhu smiled gently, "Your Madam has such a gentle nature."

"In my opinion, it would be better if you and your daughter, along with Consort Hu, went to live with the master. Wouldn't it be better if you could be a loving family and avoid being separated in the future?"

Madam Hu's expression changed, and she suppressed her anger, saying, "Don't even think about it! It's none of your business!"

She could accept marrying Cao Ze along with her sister, but she absolutely could not accept her daughter Nongyu being involved. Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Madam Mingzhu laughed, a laugh so beautiful that even Madam Hu had to admit that Madam Mingzhu was indeed as the little thief had said—extremely alluring.

"How could it be meddling? I am also going to marry you, and when the three of you are together, we will still be good sisters."

Madam Mingzhu chuckled, intentionally provoking Madam Hu.

She had only known Madam Hu for a few days, but she already knew what kind of person Madam Hu was: outwardly gentle but inwardly strong, and would fight back once her bottom line was crossed.

Her presence was merely to solidify Madam Hu's resolve to resolutely disagree.

She was already having a headache with the addition of Hu Meiren.

If the whole family—mother, daughter, and aunt—went together, Cao Ze would be showering them with favors every day, making it even harder for her to stand out. She didn't want to face that situation.

After experiencing firsthand the unbridled and shameless behavior of Madam Mingzhu, Madam Hu simply shut her mouth and closed her eyes, preferring to avoid seeing it altogether.

Having achieved her goal, Madam Mingzhu swayed her alluring figure and left with a smile.

After Lady Mingzhu had completely left, Madam Hu slowly opened her eyes.

She unconsciously walked to the window and saw her daughter and Cao Ze chatting and laughing under the pavilion. She sighed for no reason.

Little sister, what should I do...?

Mrs. Hu subconsciously thought of her younger sister and decided to ask her resourceful sister for advice, determined not to let her daughter sink deeper into the wrong path.

As Nongyu chatted with Cao Ze, she felt uneasy seeing that her mother hadn't come out for a long time.

"Sir, let's go inside and see Mother."

Nongyu said with some unease.

Cao Ze had no objection; after all, he was just wasting time with Nongyu, and it didn't matter where they wasted their time.

"Dong dong."

Nongyu gently knocked twice outside her mother's room.

"Mother, are you alright? Could you please open the door?"

Cao Ze stood behind Nongyu, suppressing a laugh.

He could already imagine Mrs. Hu going crazy in the room; anyone would go mad if they had a daughter like that.

inside the house.

Mrs. Hu was flustered and paced anxiously back and forth in the room.

She secretly rejoiced that she had locked the door after entering the house; otherwise, if her daughter had seen her in such a flustered and anxious state, who knows what she might have thought.

"...It's Nongyu. I'm fine, I'll open the door for you right away."

Mrs. Hu stood inside the room, her tone awkward and strained.

A moment later, Nongyu and Cao Ze walked in.

Madam Hu said gently, "Nongyu, I'm fine, just tired. Would you like to stay and keep your mother company? Your mother hasn't spoken to you in a long time. How about we sleep together tonight?"

Nongyu exclaimed "Ah!" and looked at Cao Ze.

"Sir, this..."

“Don’t worry about me,” Cao Ze joked. “You two are doing well together. You should spend some time with your wife too.”

Nongyu lowered her head slightly, saying with a mix of apology and gratitude, "Sir, you are so kind."

Cao Ze chuckled, "Then I'll be going now, you guys chat."

He left after saying that, and thoughtfully closed the door behind him.

"I'll see you off, sir."

As soon as Nongyu got up, her mother grabbed her hand tightly. Nongyu turned around and looked at her mother with a puzzled expression.

"Hey……"

As a theater enthusiast, Madam Hu immediately put on her dramatic act, clutching her stomach and saying, "It hurts, Mother's stomach hurts..."

“Ah… Mother.” Nongyu said anxiously, “I’m going to find the teacher.”

Madam Hu held Nongyu's arm tightly. "Oh, Mother is alright now. It was just a sudden pain, probably from catching a cold."

Nongyu breathed a slight sigh of relief, but the few moments that had been wasted had also diminished her desire to see Cao Ze off.

Madam Hu was secretly pleased with herself, thinking how clever she had been.

Cao Ze, who had just stepped out, vaguely heard Madam Hu inside the house saying that her stomach hurt, and he stopped in his tracks.

Good heavens...

Cao Ze felt a chill run down his spine.

Cao Ze shook his head repeatedly.

This is starting to resemble Liu Bei's ancestor, Prince Jing of Zhongshan.

So evil.

If I could become one of the three major paternal genes of the future, wow, life would be worth it.

When Cao Ze reached the flower garden, he suddenly said, "Come out."

"Hehehe..." A wet, seductive laugh rang in Cao Ze's ears.

A pair of jade-like arms quietly slipped under Cao Ze's armpits and embraced his chest.

"Sir, are you just going to let them go like this? It must be hard for you to bear it, right?"

Madam Mingzhu whispered a delicate fragrance of orchids into Cao Ze's ear.

"How about I help Master relieve his fatigue? I have no taboos and will let Master play with me as he pleases. Even if Master wants my aunt to join in, I'm willing."

Cao Ze's heart fluttered, and he held Madam Mingzhu's soft little hand.

"Still no news from your aunt?"

Madam Mingzhu pressed her pretty face against Cao Ze's, her tone full of doubt.

"No, I don't know where my aunt went. Maybe she died at the foot of Xuannv Peak."

If Xuan Nu Peak collapses, and people don't escape down the mountain in time, not only would a Grandmaster be crushed by the mountain, but even a Great Grandmaster would be doomed.

"What a pity..." Cao Ze felt deeply that it was a waste.

Such a naive and innocent master, he died before he could even make the most of his abilities. I should have enjoyed myself first.

Madam Mingzhu smiled charmingly, "What's the pity? So what if he's dead? You still have me, sir."

Cao Ze was so aroused by Madam Mingzhu that he couldn't resist the urge to act.

The fact that he could only look but not eat had indeed made him a little restless.

Now that Madam Mingzhu has offered it to us so readily, how could we refuse?

So, in order to avoid attracting attention, Cao Ze found a nice inn nearby.
