Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 941 - 939_1

Chapter 941: Chapter 939_1

Whoever marries Fang Wanping, a woman who worms her way into men’s beds, will likely end up a cuckold. This struck a chord with the maids who still held virtue high.

After all, how could a decent girl scheme against others like this, right? Even before marriage, she could climb into bed with a man of higher status. After marriage, who could guarantee she wouldn’t cheat with a man of even higher status, right?

Mrs Fang, hearing Zhu Yan slander her daughter, began to spew curses. "How dare you! You, a mere guard, dare to slander the daughter of the sub-prefect! Who gave you such audacity! And you, as a grown man, don’t you know not to look at what you shouldn’t? Pursuing a chaste, under-dressed girl with a big sword, aren’t you no different from a rapist?"

"I’m not slandering her. Ask her if she didn’t sneak into the Magistrate’s room and shamelessly started..." Zhu Yan didn’t finish her sentence as Fang Wanping loudly interrupted her, "Shut up! Don’t spout nonsense. I didn’t!"

At this moment, a maid brought over some clothes, and Fang Wanping quickly put them on.

Zhu Yan shamelessly glanced at her and sneered, "What ’didn’t’ you do? Didn’t sneak into the Magistrate’s room? Didn’t take off your clothes? Or didn’t plot to climb into the Magistrate’s bed and ensnare our master? You don’t need to make excuses. I saw it all!"

"You’re falsely accusing me! That was my room, I was just going back to my room!", Fang Wanping quickly countered, then continued, "I also want to ask the Magistrate why he was lying on my bed! As I returned to change clothes in my room, I didn’t expect to see a man lying on the bed! It scared me so much I screamed!"

Fang Wanping was secretly thrilled with her quick thinking. In this way, she was not the one who crawled under the Magistrate’s sheets. She was merely the victim. Besides, she did indeed scream earlier. As for what happened in the room, only she and he knew. She simply needs to deny it!

"That’s your room? Did you take everyone for fools?" Zhu Yan laughs dismissively.

Seeing that Fang Wanping had now dressed, Xiao’er took Shangguan Xuanyi’s hand and left. Shangguan Xuanyi glanced at their intertwined hands but didn’t remind her. From an outsider’s perspective, it seemed inappropriate for two men to hold hands.

"That is indeed Wanping’s room. My daughter was merely returning to her room to change clothes. How come that in your mouth it became the Magistrate’s bedding? Are you determined to ruin my daughter?" Mrs. Fang hurried to defend her daughter after hearing this.

"If it’s Miss Fang’s room, what was your intention in placing the Magistrate in it? Isn’t your ultimate goal to ruin Miss Fang’s reputation, forcing him to marry her? So, whether Miss Fang undressed and climbed into bed of her own accord, or just returned to her room to change clothes, the end result is the same - you are scheming to manipulate the Magistrate into marrying Miss Fang!" Xiao’er stated as she stepped through the Moon Gate.

"Exactly, when the Magistrate gets drunk, he won’t wake up even with a thunderstorm, unlike us. We take a hangover prevention pill before drinking and quickly recover if we get drunk. Now the Magistrate is unconscious from the drink, and it was you who arranged for your servant to send him in. You surely aren’t going to say that your servants don’t know where the guest room and the master’s room are? And what about the knockout smoke? Isn’t this a calculated plan to manipulate my master? Who would believe that it’s not!"

"They don’t know. We just moved in, and these new servants might not know which room is which. Isn’t it very normal to mistake a room? I don’t know anything about your so-called knockout smoke!" Mrs. Fang stubbornly denied everything.

They couldn’t admit to any of this. If word got out, Fang Wanping might as well shave her head and become a nun! And as for the knockout smoke given to the Magistrate and Prince Rui, they should consider which method of execution would be less painful!

"What nice rules the Fang family has! Your servants can’t even tell which rooms are for guests! Also, you use what is usually a guest room as the master’s room! Such rules I have never seen before! Sub-prefect, can’t even figure out which rooms in his house should be used as guest rooms, or as his own? Brother Shangguan, can Master Fang really handle the position of a sub-prefect? With so many things to handle every day, if the sub-prefect keeps acting this confused, I’m afraid he might do more harm than good! I think it’s better to consider replacing him. After all, nothing is more fearful than having a teammate who’s as stupid as a pig!"

Listening to Xiao’er’s words, Zhu Yan assured earnestly, "Indeed, someone who is so senseless should be replaced! Such a person can’t handle things well and might make a bad situation even worse!"

Shangguan Xuanyi simply nodded and lightly said, "Well then, let’s replace him." In any case, the Imperial Court doesn’t need such officials anyway.

Mrs Fang turned white from fright. If Shangguan Xuanyi said so, did that mean it was going to happen, eh? After all, he is the son of the emperor! His words hold potent authority!

"Master, this has nothing to do with my husband. He doesn’t deal with household affairs at all, it’s all my fault. Please don’t dismiss him from his post! He has been diligently serving the government and the people for many years," Mrs. Fang pleaded, deeply regretting their strategy. If she had known that Prince Rui was here, why would they dare to manipulate the Magistrate?

This was a man who had the power to determine their life and death in a single sentence!

What should she do now?

Fang Wanping was also frightened silly. If her father was dismissed, would she still be a government official’s daughter? Would she then become a commoner? In such a case, she would be even lower than Zhu Yan! This is impossible, absolutely impossible!

Shangguan Xuanyi had no patience for her nonsense. He turned to Xiao’er and said, "Let’s go, don’t waste time here!"

They knew exactly what was going on, and they held the power to determine their fates. There was no need for further discussion. they’d treat it as it deserved. In his view, their performance today was unnecessary. For the issue of handling a minor official’s family, all it required was some verbal sparring, so why all the fuss? Anyway, he considered that Master Fang wasn’t likely to be a good official.

But if his darling girl wanted to have a little fun, he would happily accompany her!
