The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1304 - Chapter 1304 1304 Rong'er's Past

Chapter 1304: 1304 Rong’er’s Past Chapter 1304: 1304 Rong’er’s Past In the past few days, she had been trying to find an opportunity to get close to Xiao Yuchuan, but he had always been busy.

If he wasn’t in the cake house, he was in the restaurant, and even when he dined at the Xiao Mansion, he never ate with Xiao Yishan.

Instead, they dined in their respective rooms.

Outdoors, even if she saw him, it wasn’t convenient to seduce him.

In case she failed to steal Xiao Yuchuan’s heart and instead angered Xiao Yishan, the loss would outweigh the gain.

She wasn’t foolish.

Xiao Yuchuan wasn’t the kind of man who could easily be seduced.

Previously, when she was in the mountain village, Liu Xianglian and Shi Shanzao, those two women who had no shame, threw themselves at him, but he took no interest in them.

She could tell that Xiao Yuchuan was very steadfast in his feelings for Su Qingyue.

This type of man couldn’t be swayed by seduction at all.

It would be better to straightforwardly administer a dose of medicine, consummate the deed with him first, then force him to take her as his concubine.

Even if this plan didn’t work, Xiao Yuchuan would give her a hefty compensation to prevent her from causing trouble with Su Qingyue.

In the Xiao Mansion, she could also find ways to get hold of the cake recipe.

She had heard that Boss Jin Xun of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion had offered 5000 taels to purchase it.

As long as she got the recipe and sold it, or managed to be with Xiao Yuchuan, she would enjoy endless wealth and honor.

Counting her chickens before they hatched, Li Rong’er’s mood improved greatly.

Suddenly, someone blocked her path.

She blurted out, “Who is it?

Don’t block the way!”

The person was even more chatty, “Oh, I thought I recognized the wrong person, but it really is you, Li Rong’er!”

It was a middle-aged man, around forty-odd years old, dressed in ordinary grey cloth clothes.

He had a broad forehead and high cheekbones, which made his appearance somewhat ugly.

She had once been a maid in the Fang Mansion, and this man was Steward Fang Hai of the mansion.

When Li Rong’er saw him, her face turned pale, “StewardaEUR| Steward Fang.”

She tried to walk around him to leave.

Fang Hai blocked her path, “Rong’er, we’re ‘old acquaintances’ after all, and it’s not easy to meet by chance.

Let’s ‘chat’ properly.

Where are you rushing off to in such a hurry?”

“I have…

things to doaEUR|” she chuckled dryly, “Let’s chat another dayaEUR|”

“I’ve been looking for you because I have urgent business.” He grabbed her wrist firmly, “My ‘business’ is more urgent than yours.”

This place was not far from the Xiao Mansion.

Li Rong’er had been staying at the Xiao Mansion for some days and would often go out shopping, telling everyone around that she was the Lady of Xiao boss’s second brother.

Many people recognized her.

Those on the street saw her tussling with a man and cast curious gazes.

Li Rong’er quickly said, “Housekeeper Fang, don’t make a scene in the street.”

“Oh my, climbing up the social ladder, aren’t we?” Fang Hai narrowed his sharp eyes as he looked at her, “I’ve inquired about you.

After you left the Fang Mansion, you got together with Xiao Yishan, a hunter from Wushan Village.

Who would have thought Xiao Yishan has such a wealthy younger brother?

And now you reside in the Xiao Mansion in town.”

Seeing that he had investigated her affairs so thoroughly, Li Rong’er’s face turned pale, “I’m not having an easy time now, after all…

I’m just a woman…”

“You are not just any woman; you’ve got plenty of tricks up your sleeve.” Fang Hai snorted coldly, leaned in close, and whispered, “What?

You want to ignore me, your old lover?

I’ll go to the ‘Old Place’ first and wait for you.

You’d better follow soon after.

If you dare not come, I’ll reveal all your past scandals and see if Xiao Yishan still wants you!”

Having said that, he left with a flick of his sleeve.

.co

Li Rong’er’s face was paler than ever, bloodless.

‘Old Place’ referred to a deserted, broken temple outside the town where she and housekeeper Fang Hai used to carry on their secret affair.

Sometimes they even met there for their trysts.

For the sake of Fang Hai, she even secretly aborted twice, which caused her body to suffer and made it difficult for her to conceive again.
