Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 939 - 937_1

Chapter 939: Chapter 937_1

After Xiao Ling had left, having blown the smoke to put him to sleep, Shangguan Xuanyi sat up. He pulled out an antidote pill and swallowed it. Then, after listening for any signs of activity outside and he heard nothing, he got up and left, heading to find Xiao’er.

Xiao’er saw Shangguan Xuanyi coming and opened the door for him, waving him in.

As Shangguan Xuanyi approached, Xiao’er quickly extended her hand to pull him into the room, casually shutting the door behind them.

Upon entering, Shangguan Xuanyi was met with a whiff of a fragrant scent and his eyes squinted.

Even his maid dares to use an incense of stupefaction on him! She’s truly begging for death!

Just as Shangguan Xuanyi was about to say something, he heard someone moving outside, so he chose to remain silent.

Having already inspected the room’s layout, Xiao’er promptly pointed to a large cupboard in the corner. "Brother Shangguan, hide in there quickly!"

Shangguan Xuanyi followed where she was pointing and was taken aback. Had she really expected him to hide in a cupboard? A grown man like him would rather die than do such a thing.

Xiao’er pushed Shangguan Xuanyi a bit. "Hurry up and hide, or you’ll be discovered."

Shangguan Xuanyi stood still. What a joke! Why should he hide in his wife’s room? If he’s seen, then he’s seen! There’s no shame in it!

Xiao’er was helpless. She considered for a moment, then decided that it didn’t matter whether he hid or not.

If someone came in now, they were definitely sent by Mrs. Fang to keep an eye on them.

It must mean that Fang Wanping had already put her plan into action!

They were truly impatient!

As expected, that person only stood guard outside the door and did not enter.

Mrs. Fang’s arrangements were smart and justified. If it wasn’t known that she had ulterior motives, others would just think she’s being considerate to her guests. Nobody would suspect that she had planted spies.

"Brother Shangguan, let’s go and enjoy the show!" Xiao’er said eagerly, itching to find out whether Zhu Yan was ready.

Going to enjoy the show! Shangguan Xuanyi’s lips twitched. If Jingrui knew his sister was here to enjoy the show, he would be furious, perhaps he should remind him!

On the other side of things, Fang Wanping had indeed begun her move.

She pushed the door open to find Jingrui lying motionless on the bed.

Her heart was a bit nervous but also thrilled. Once today passed, all her wishes could finally come true.

Fang Wanping entered the room, closed the door gently behind her.

Then she started moving carefully towards the bed, as if afraid to wake the person lying there.

Fang Wanping walked up to the side of the bed and then began to loosen her belt.

Jingrui’s eyes were closed, and he was motionless, but he was seething inside.

Fang Wanping piece by piece removed her clothing until just a single piece remained. Eventually, she couldn’t bring herself to do as her mother had told her and remove all of her clothes.

Just as she was thinking about climbing into bed and undressing Jingrui...

Zhu Yan quickly crawled out from under the bed, brandishing a large sword and held it against Fang Wanping’s throat.

"Ah!" Fang Wanping screamed, a screech that could echo for days.

"What are you trying to do to our lord?!" Zhu Yan asked menacingly.

Lying on the bed, Jingrui remained still, his eyes closed.

He was awake, but he did not dare open his eyes, afraid of seeing something he shouldn’t.

"You... how are you here?" Shouldn’t she be passed out drunk in the next room?

Fang Wanping was frozen in fear by the large sword at her neck, she was practically ready to die!

Her body had been seen, and the Magistrate hadn’t even cast a glance her way! Life was just too unfair!

She stole a glance at the unresponsive Jingrui on the bed!

She silently prayed for him to awake soon. If only they hadn’t used that stupefaction smoke!

"I’m the lord’s bodyguard, close personal protection is my duty. I belong here, whereas you...erm, undressing of your own volition, climbing into our lord’s bed, trying to stick to our lord, are you?" Zhu Yan eyed her lustfully, then continued: "Our lord probably won’t take a fancy to someone like you! However, even though you’re short, your body is quite something! You have everything that should be there! Since I’ve seen your body already, I’ll take a bit of a loss and reluctantly accept you instead!"

With that, Zhu Yan deliberately stretched out his hand to give her chest a squeeze.

Lying there motionless, Jingrui, listening to Zhu Yan’s audacious and explicit words, was almost unable to maintain his act.

How dare you! You’re delusional!" Once again, Fang Wanping let out a scream when he touched her.

"Why not? I’ve seen, and I’ve touched, your innocence is ruined, who else will you marry if not me?" Zhu Yan resorted, with a roguish air.

After being touched by the bear-like man, Fang Wanping felt like retching. She looked at Jingrui again, hoping he would wake up. That would mean he would see her body, ensuring that not only the hairy, bear-like man had seen it!

By then, she could use one reason or another to marry the Magistrate. Even as a concubine, it was better than marrying a bear!

If she was a concubine, there was a chance she could become the official wife later. But if she married a bear, her future would not only be miserable, but also full of darkness.

So if someone asked her to marry a bear, she would rather throw herself headlong into a wall and die.

"You don’t need to rely on the Magistrate; he’s been drugged by you and will not wake up until tomorrow at least!"

Fang Wanping was both mad and terrified. She shouldn’t let others know that her body had been seen by this bear-like man.

If her mother heard her screaming just now, she would definitely send someone over, which would completely ruin her innocence. Then how could she marry the Magistrate in the future? She needed to find a way to get rid of this bear-like man as soon as possible.

As she thought this, she started brainstorming what she could do.

That’s it, money can even drive a ghost to grind a millstone!

"My lord, my father would never let me marry you. So how about this, you just pretend that this never happened and that you never saw anything. You go back to the room next door and I’ll give you 100 taels of silver. With 100 taels, you can marry a wife who is even prettier than me! If you don’t agree, my father always dotes on me. If he knew that you ruined my innocence, he would never let you off!"

She wants to dismiss him with only a hundred taels? Zhu Yan rolled her eyes when she heard this. As for her father, who cares?

Your worth is only a hundred taels? With a sub-prefect as my father-in-law, my future would have been limitless, I don’t care about these hundred taels!"

"Two hundred taels. If you help me this time, and I marry the Magistrate in the future, I will make sure the Magistrate gives you an official job, and you will essentially be my trusted aide. You’d never be short of money!" Fang Wanping threw out bigger bait. As for what would happen after she becomes the Magistrate’s wife, she’ll have to see if he can survive that long!

For now, she just wants him to obediently leave this room.

As long as he’s willing to leave the room, she can outright deny everything that happened!
