Chapter 204.1: Catching Red-Handed, Turtle in the Net

Li Hong Yuan didn’t express a comment. The flooding in the south was of the highest priority. The Ruan family’s matter was merely just done in passing. Ruan Rui Zhong has been muddled for twenty years, so one should at least help him wake up. As for whether he will collapse at a tumble, even losing his last breath, or endure it and change in temperament completely? If he was still young, the latter’s possibility was higher, but unfortunately, he was already old. Perhaps with the scene to stimulating, he’ll be unable to catch his breath, but if he does manage to withstand it, Li Hong Yuan will probably even admire him. That way, he’ll be destined to be squeezed dry by him for another few years.

“Grind the ink.” Towards the matters on that side, Li Hong Yuan lacked in interest. Having the things that one ought to arrange taken care of was the most important right now.

Eunuch Mu hurriedly went forward, swiftly grinding the ink stone. Have to say, when it comes to serving Li Hong Yuan, grinding ink was also considered his specialty, being both quick and good. After finishing his job, he quietly retreated back again.

Li Hong Yuan spread open a folding book like booklet, slightly pondering for a moment, and then picked up the brush. The brush under his hand was like as if possessed, his speed very quick. And those characters naturally was just like him, the stroke bold and strong, but ordinary people afraid won’t be able to read it. Even if a scholar, unless particularly fond of, probably not that many would research and study cursive script. However, Luo Pei Shan wasn’t the same. It has already been decades since he took the imperial exam, having a great deal of time to study things outside of the imperial exam. If he can’t read it, then Li Hong Yuan will probably throw him four words: Undeserving of his reputation.

All say that men were the most attractive when focused, and for Li Hong Yuan, this kind of off the charts good-looking man, his facial features clear and handsome, confidence penetrating through his concentration, there were very few that wouldn’t be captivated by him. And perhaps because his marriage arrangements with Jing Wan has already settled, on normal days, that sinister dark aura was already very rarely seen. If Jing Wan was present, perhaps this moment will just make her heart race.

He wrote two three pages in succession, “Pay attention a little, prevent that woman from the Ruan family from killing in order to silence.”

Ruan Rui Zhong can die from being unable to bear the shock on his own, but can’t be killed. That way would truly be too boring.

“Yes.”

Actually, without him to remind them, the people below would still consider this bit. This long wasn’t their first time handling matters. What to do in order to let master be satisfied, they more or less all understood a little.

Speaking of Ruan Rui Zhong getting sent back, originally, the person Le Cheng Emperor appointed wanted to have him handed over to Ruan Old Madam, but got turned down by Ruan Rui Zhong. And when he discovered what his own rear court was actually like, he was very glad that he’d refused, else he would really have lost all face.

Have to say, when Ruan Rui Zhong entered the gates, he was even quite baffled. In the past, after returning home, his wife, even if not personally coming out to welcome him, would still arrange for someone, having his taken care of properly, but now, he has sat in the reception hall for quite a while already, yet how come didn’t see anyone coming to serve him, not even having a cup of tea. His body was already unwell to begin with, so it was unavoidable for him to be somewhat unhappy inside.

He also knew what kind of situation the Ruan family was in right now, and most likely wouldn’t have gone out. Thinking about it, he got up, heading towards the rear court.

Along the way, the servants he encountered were still like normal, properly bowing to him when they saw him.

Just, when he was about to approach the main courtyard he and his wife resided in, he saw a servant girl with a frantic look running outwards. When she saw Ruan Rui Zhong, that expression was like as if she’d seen a ghost. The first thing she did wasn’t bow to him, but rather taking a turn and immediately bolting, not having the least bit of manners one should have.

More than half of Ruan Rui Zhong’s face darkened. No matter who saw, one would immediately know that there was definitely something wrong. Although he still hasn’t thought of what, but towards this kind of situation, the way to deal with were seemingly all the same, “Quickly stop her.”

Ruan Rui Zhong’s servant boy, hearing the command, hurriedly chased after. A ten some year old little servant girl, with that speed, naturally can’t outrun a boy several years older than her, and was very quickly caught. Afterwards, she got dragged back.

The little servant girl knelt before Ruan Rui Zhong, trembling in fear and crying very miserably, directly kowtowing with a thud, “Old master, this servant didn’t see anything at all, didn’t hear anything at all, don’t beat this servant to death, begging you, please………….”

“What did you see, what did you hear, say it clearly.” Ruan Rui Zhong sternly spoke.

That servant girl seemingly finally realized she’d misspoke, casting Ruan Rui Zhong a glance with a frightened look, swiftly lowering her head, kneeling on the ground with her back hunched. Her body trembled, but no matter what was all unwilling to say another word.

Ruan Rui Zhong had the person kicked aside, “Watch her!” Directly heading towards the main courtyard. He rather want to see, exactly what shameful matters did this person, or should say, his second wife, had hidden from him.

It was obvious, when Ruan Rui Zhong entered the courtyard gates, he immediately noticed something wrong. On normal days, there were always old servant women guarding, and after entering the gates, one was immediately able to see various servants handling various tasks. The courtyard gates were half open, but not a single soul was seen.

Ruan Rui Zhong subconsciously lightened his steps, and didn’t push open that closed half of the door. After entering, he originally was thinking of heading into the main building, but he faintly heard some movements, and followed in the direction of the sound. It came from the pavilion in the courtyard. Outside the pavilion hung curtains. Under normal circumstances, it was always tied up, yet now it was placed down. A few days ago, it was even the place where his wife and daughter accompanied him in admiring the moon together……………

But now, the woman’s faint breathing, the man’s coarse pants, and moreover, it wasn’t just one man. One of the men was clearly saying vulgar words, yet the woman wasn’t like as if suffering humiliation, instead getting even more aroused. Her urges received in exchanged the other man’s lewd laughter, along with the sound of the palm slapping a certain place……..

Regardless of how much the sounds made one blush, Ruan Rui Zhong still knew who the owners of these three voices were, his second wife, and his two sons. As if struck by lightning, he stood frozen there on the spot, his expression completely blank………………

“Look at this hungry and thirsty look of yours, how long as father not fed you? However, even if you two perform the bedroom rites, can you be satisfied?”

The woman didn’t speak, but let out a mocking snort, that meaning couldn’t be more obvious.

“………Actually, I’m quite curious, exactly whose child is Fang Fei? Father’s, one of us brothers’, or some man outside?”

“That’s right, that’s right, quickly say it, exactly whose child?”

Ruan Rui Zhong’s heart was countless times colder than the middle of winter, freezing to the point where even his blood was about to stop flowing.

“Who cares whose child she is, in name, she’s just your younger sister. Don’t tell me you all want to get involved with her as well?” The woman said.

What she got in exchange was the ambiguous laughter from the two men, “The daughter you raised must certainly be the same kind of ware as you.”

Ruan Rui Zhong tightly clutched the clothes at his chest. His heart was like as if getting ruthlessly crushed. As if about to suffocate, he heavily gasped for breath, as if in the next moment he will just collapse. But right at this moment, a gust of wind caused the canopy curtains surrounding the pavilion to lift open a small crack. That unbearable scene directly penetrated into the depths of Ruan Rui Zhong’s eyes just like that————

T/N: I just want to say, the last line in the was a double meaning. Also, wanted to note that Ruan Rui Zhong has more than two sons.
