As the Minor Gay Love Rival in Het Novels

Chapter 9.7

Chapter 9.7

Trigger warning: Rape

In the dead of night, Fan Yuan headed towards the ancestral hall with a lantern in hand. The deeper he went in, the more his admiration for the Ning father and daughter’s schemes increased.

The ancestral hall of the Ning Family was located in a side courtyard of the Ning Estate. It was separated from the main courtyard by a small bamboo forest, leaving it to be extremely quiet at night, as if no matter what happened, no one would ever discover it.

Actually, the real matter had happened precisely so. In the previous life, the female lead had been framed by her cousin to lose her chastity as a result, Ning Zhe had then ordered someone to shave off all her hair and punished her to kneel down in the ancestral hall to repent to her ancestors. After that, she was sent to the nunnery out in the mountains for self-cultivation. The female lead’s character was so arrogant—how could she withstand such suffering, so she directly went and hung herself in the ancestral hall. It took three whole days before her body was found.

Fan Yuan heard the rustle of bamboo forest from time to time and felt his hairs stand a little on end. The Ning Family has had hundreds of years of lineage, who knew how many wronged souls were buried in that bamboo forest. It was both tragic and lamentable.

Seeing that the ancestral hall was near, Fan Yuan chuckled silently. Today, he could take it that he was doing away with evildoers for the common people.

“Xiao Wu, can you detect the number of people present in the ancestral hall?”

“Ding, Ning Xirong, Ning Zhe, the old housekeeper and four strong servants.”

“So many people, it seems that tonight will be wonderful,” Fan Yuan continued, covering his face, “Suddenly, I’m looking forward to it a little.”

He pasted the invisibility talisman on his body and slowly approached the ancestral hall, looking through the paper windows to glimpse within. Ning Xirong and Ning Zhe were sat at the very top, while the other five people stood respectfully below.

Ning Zhe said impatiently, “That evil creature still hasn’t arrived?”

The housekeeper quickly bowed his head, “Replying Old Master, this old servant has already relayed the words over to Xu yiniang. Second Young Master listens to her the most. This servant thinks that he will definitely come.”

Ning Xirong comforted him, “Do not be upset, Father. Even if he escapes today by chance, there are plenty of opportunities to punish him in the future. People who taint our Ning Family’s good name absolutely cannot be let go.”

Ning Zhe’s expression was overcast, “If the matter is truly as you say that he willingly lowered himself to become Yuan Ting’s kept child, I must clean out the house of this vile thing today! My Ning Family’s hundred years of scholarly lineage must not be defiled by others any longer! ”

Ning Xirong’s eyes flashed a touch of disdain, but she agreed eagerly, “That is natural. That Yuan Ting is but a rough soldier, and the ancestors of the Yuan Family were illiterate butchers. How can they compare to our Ning Family by even a shred? Although Ning Siqi is just a shu son, he is of the blood of our Ning Family. To not love himself like this, he has truly disgraced Father utterly.”

Ning Zhe’s expression turned even more ugly. He regarded his reputation to be even more important than his life, so at this moment, he was so angry that he slammed the table repeatedly and said, “Today, I’ll let him go down and apologise to the ancestors!”

Ning Xirong advised in an act of insincere courtesy, “I’m afraid that is not appropriate. Xu yiniang knows that Ning Siqi is coming to the ancestral hall to see Father. If he dies just like this, won’t that woman cry to the Heavens and slam her head into the floor and publicise the matter? When that time comes...... ”

Ning Zhe interrupted her with a wave of his hand and said coldly, “To teach and raise such a shameless evil creature, what other face does she have left to continue living in this world? Just let mother and son go down together to be each other’s company.”

Fan Yuan watched this scene from outside the window and the corners of his mouth slowly lifted. He took out the props he had exchanged for and poured a test tube worth of drugging smoke in......

“Xiao Wu, how long can this kind of aphrodisiac last?”

“Ding......” Xiao Wu said, “It should be very good.”

He nodded and proceeded to lock the doors and windows with the universal lock he had exchanged for. These kinds of props would lose their efficacy after a fixed time. With a smirk at the corner of his mouth, he set the time to be two hours with a “click” before peeping through the window with squinted eyes.

Before a cup of tea was finished, the drugging smoke had already begun to take effect. Even after downing two cups of water, Ning Zhe still felt an unbearable thirst.

Those who existed in officialdom were the most dirty and filthy, so how could Ning Zhe have guessed that he had been plotted against? He hurriedly scrambled to order his servants to open the door, only to find out that the doors and windows had sealed shut. Several of his men smashed the tables and seats till they were completely destroyed, yet that door still remained intact. Within a mere moment, Ning Zhe was covered in sweat out of anxiousness.

Fan Yuan clicked his tongue and sighed. Those locks were very expensive, you had to practically be dreaming to think that you could break it with wood.

Ning Xirong was the youngest of all, so she already couldn’t withstand the effects of the drug and had started to tear at her clothes. Ning Zhe was so furious that he scolded, “Little slut! You know no shame! You better wear your clothes properly for me!”

Ning Xirong couldn’t hear his voice at all. Her entire body felt soft like mud as she fell limply and sat on the ground, taking off her outer robes to relieve herself. Those servants were all men full of vigour and vitality who had inhaled the drugged smoke, currently trying to bear with the torture, and when they saw this scene, they naturally turned into wolves and threw themselves over.

Ning Zhe wanted to stop it, but he was suppressed and pinned down by two men. He was only in his early 30s and he had always led a luxurious life, so he was better maintained than many women. Those two men burned with hot gazes, they didn’t care whether it was a man or woman. They moved to tear his clothes apart before squeezing themselves into him at the very same time. Ning Zhe was torn apart in such a quick moment and he let out a loud howl in pain.

Fan Yuan covered his mouth in shock and took a step back. He had never seen the ‘live’ version of this before. It had just started but he had encountered something so intense, he felt it was both exhilarating and exciting. Thus, he went forward to carve the hole he was watching from a little bigger before continuing to peep.

Ning Xirong was invaded by the two others from both ends, front and back, and she kept crying out wildly. You could tell that she was feeling a great deal of pleasure. Due to the fact that the old housekeeper was ahead in the years, he wasn’t affected by the drugging smoke. When he saw this scene, he thought that they had been possessed by evil! As he shrunk into a corner, he started repenting for their past crimes repeatedly.

Fan Yuan watched on with relish, but suddenly, his eyes were covered by someone from behind, and his body immediately became stiff. Currently he was invisible, so the only person who could see him was......

Yan Rui asked in his ear, “It’s very interesting to watch?”

Fan Yuan shook his head and muttered back softly, “It’s not.”

It’s not interesting to watch but you’re still looking on with such interest? Yan Rui was so angry at him that snorted quietly and dragged him by the arm deep into the bamboo forest. Fan Yuan followed him blunderingly, his expression innocent, “Actually, I was just observing the situation. I spent so many experience points. It would be not cost-effective if they got away......”

Yan Rui glared at him coldly and his tone was lace with frost, “It seems that today I didn’t satisfy you at Moon-gazing Inn, that’s why you still have the energy to do such pointless things.”

Hearing him mention Moon-gazing Inn, Fan Yuan’s legs felt a wave of softness, but he strongly mustered up his momentum to say, “Yan Rui, you- you dare!”

Yan Rui touched his hair and said in a soft voice, “Whether I dare to do it or not, don’t you know?”

Fan Yuan swallowed and shifted a step back, “Don’t- don’t be impulsive- over this small matter, as for......”

“Small matter?” Yan Rui cold gaze narrowed, “You were peeping at other men and women’s bodies, and you were still watching with relish. That’s a small matter?”

Fan Yuan was utterly vexed. He was just watching a movie, why did it seem so immoral when this guy described it?

Seeing him approach step by step with a scowl, Fan Yuan quickly apologised, “I know I’m wrong, I won’t dare to do it again in the future. Don’t come over, Brother...Big Brother? Father!”

Yan Rui’s advance paused slightly, and then the corners of his mouth suddenly burst into a grin, “Come over here, let me hug you.”

Fan Yuan knew that he wasn’t angry anymore when he saw Yan Rui’s expression suddenly clear up, so he obediently went over. In one fell swoop, Yan Rui pulled him into his embrace and gave him a few kisses, coaxing, “Call ‘Hubby’.”

Fan Yuan was naturally unwilling to do that, but Yan Rui lowered his hand to delve between his legs, causing Fan Yuan to nearly jump up in shock. He swallowed his humiliation and decided to bear with it, “Hubby.” In his heart, he said to himself, don’t let laozi find an opportunity, if not I’ll definitely get back at you!

*******************

Seeing that the duration of universal lock was almost up, Fan Yuan went back to the ancestral hall to check on the situation, albeit under Yan Rui’s watch, but he didn’t dare to look inside this time. He simply pressed himself against the door to listen to the sounds inside, making sure that the war was still very fierce inside. After that, he finally said to Yan Rui, “Go back to my room first and wait. I’ll go and arrange a group performance, and then I’ll come back and personally visit you.”

Yan Rui saw that he was grinning like a cat that had stolen fish, and it caused his heart to itch greatly. How could he refuse, but.....personally visit? He nodded meaningfully, turned and disappeared into the night.

Fan Yuan wrapped the note he had originally prepared around a small stone and threw it into Ning Ximin’s room. The stone struck the edge of his carved wooden bed and made a clattering sound.

Ning Ximin was Ning Xirong’s cousin. They were born enemies. Since young, they had fought for the affections of their elders, and when they grew up, they fought for the title of a talented woman. In order to defeat each other, both sides had used all kinds of foul means to thwart the other, and in the previous life, Ning Xirong had been defeated by the hands of Ning Ximin. This time round, the ending of the story would have had Ning Ximin die miserably, but that might not be the case now......

When Ning Ximin faintly gained consciousness, she opened eyes and saw a paper ball lying on the ground reflected by the moonlight. Suspicion arose in her heart, causing her to look around at every corner of her room, and only then did she pick it up. When she spread apart the paper, she was first stunned, then ecstatic.

——Ning Xirong is having a tryst with a man in the ancestral hall.

She was an intelligent one, so she dared not act rashly. She thought in heart, she didn’t know whether the words on the note were real. If she fell in the trap of others that would be horrible. After pondering on it, she fiercely knocked over the dresser in her room and cried out, “Someone come, there’s a thief! A thief has broken into the estate!”

The guards in the estate rushed over extremely quickly after hearing the news. She dressed herself properly and said to them, “In my stupor, I seem to have seen my older sister being abducted by the thieves. Go to her room first to see if she is safe, otherwise I will not be at ease.”

A group of people went over to Ning Xirong’s room to check, and naturally, it was empty. Ning Ximin pretty much had an inkling of what was going on. At this juncture, the other people in the estate had also been woken by the situation. Madam Ning scolded her for causing the entire estate to be restless, to which. Ning Ximin quickly confessed that she had seen her cousin being abducted by the thieves and that they seemed to be heading for the ancestral hall.

When Madam Ning heard that her daughter had been abducted, she was scared out of her soul. Her youngest son had already become a living vegetable, if her only daughter had gone as well, she would have no hope in life. Hence, she couldn’t care less for whatever twists and turns were amongst this as she took the lead to take the guards to the ancestral hall.

At the very moment that the door was opened, everyone was shell-shocked......

In the ancestral hall, except for the old housekeeper who had been so shocked that he’d fainted, the other five men and one woman were stark naked. It was a complete disregard of who was master or servant, father or daughter, or gender. They were intertwined like wild animals. The scene was both ridiculous and lascivious, comparable to a real-life erotica without any bottom line.

Madam Ning let out a mournful wail and fainted dead, while Second Master Ning quickly got the men to separate the six of them. He instructed his confidants, “Ning zhe committed such a dirty act in front of the ancestors, it’s simply......simply blasphemous towards the ancestors of the Ning Family! He is not qualified to inherit the ancestral home of the Ning Family. Go and invite the clan head and the elders to make a decision! ”

Ning Ximin clicked her tongue with a ‘tsk tsk’, shaking her head with a smile as she said, “Cousin, I only thought you were abducted by thieves. I didn’t expect that you were actually in the throes of pleasure. Even your own father also...... If you are seen by the Third Prince in this matter, I don’t know if he will ever love you again? ”

Ning Xirong heard the words “Third Prince” and her body fiercely trembled. At this time, the effects of the drug had largely dissipated. She let out a shrill scream and covered her body with her arms, roaring in anger, “Ning Ximin! It must have been you who drugged me! You’re a poisonous woman. You’ve already harmed me for one lifetime, and you still want to harm me in this one! I want to kill you!”

After saying that, she pounced over onto Ning Ximin and engaged in a scuffle with her......

During all this, Fan Yuan was lying in his bed, sleeping sweetly in Yan Rui’s embrace.
