Chapter 232: Strike Directly at the Door!

is promise is valid for life and will never change.Everyone gasped, their first thought being that the Marquis had gone mad!He's so young, isn't he ready to get married and have childrenHow can I give...The female guests gasped in astonishment, and at the end muttered to themselves.

"What kind of dance troupe, there's nothing good about them. Only those guys who are as stupid as pigs would be willing to be coaxed into giving them money."

"That's right, talking about being pure and innocent is just a lie! They are nothing but prostitutes running around everywhere! Don't they know who they really are!"

"The Marquis of Xin Ting is also unlucky enough, how did he get entangled with these filthy things"

"I don't know, I heard they just came from the north. Maybe they were rescued by Marquis Xin Ting from some trouble."

"It's likely. I hear Lord Xinting is notoriously cold and doesn't spare any woman his attention. With so many noble ladies in the New Capital, he hasn't shown interest in any of them. How could he possibly take a liking to these courtesans"

Such conversations were commonplace in every courtyard and hut.

And the men were also uneasy, they ate their lunch outside and didn't dare to come back.

As the sun began to set, the stragglers left early.

Perhaps remembering to tell gossip, the guests in the wooden house and courtyard gradually left.

In the valley, there was seldom a chance for utter quiet. This time, when tranquility descended, the women seized the opportunity for a thorough cleaning.

The village head was worried, and pulled Li Laoer aside to ask, "With this happening today, will it affect future business"

"No," Li Laoer shook his head, comforting the old man. "Uncle, don't worry. Once the news spreads, outsiders will only speak well of us. Even later on, we might have even more female guests. After all, they must be very concerned about bathing in public. With this happening, everyone will know that our Hot Springs Valley is a place with good morals and they'll feel more at ease coming here."

The village head finally felt relieved and couldn't help but nag, "I don't think they look like respectable women, but they keep saying they are guests of the Marquis... What if it's true Will the Marquis blame me"

"Uncle, just put your heart at ease." Li Lao'er remembered his younger brother being dragged away by his sisters and brothers a moment ago, and couldn't help but laugh.

Last night, Lao Si made it clear that they went into the mountains to retrieve books, and these women stayed at the cave, requesting to leave the mountain together. Lao Si and his companions were momentarily moved and agreed. On their journey, these women caused quite a bit of trouble for them. When they reached the dock, they happened to meet the Marquis who came to greet them. The leader, perhaps seeing an opportunity in the Marquis, constantly clung to him.

"The Marquis didn't even bother with them and went straight to war. Why would he let them settle in our village I guess these women wanted to act first and ask questions later, forcing the Marquis to take them in."

The village head shook his head in disbelief, "Truly the times are getting worse. These women, even if they have it hard, shouldn't be this cunning. Thankfully, the Marquis isn't here, otherwise it wouldn't be as simple as a beating and being sent away."

"Yes, it's best we stop them. Otherwise, if the Marquis gets angry and takes harsh measures, word will get out and people might even say he is cruel."

"Later, we'll build a grass shed here and put up a wooden fence. Not everyone should be allowed in."

They chatted for a few moments and that was it.

Soon, the sky turned pitch black. Only a few people remained on guard in the valley while the rest went home for dinner and to rest.

At the Li family's dining table, Li Laosi held his daughter and clumsily fed her egg custard, trying his best to appear very busy. He would steal glances at his wife from time to time, smiling ingratiatingly and pathetically.

Jia Yin wiped the egg custard off her nose and tried her best to help her old father.

"Father, would you like some rice porridge"

"Dad, it's time to eat vegetables!"

"Daddy, want to eat meat!"

Li Laosì was busy, sweat dripping from his forehead, but he was happy to do it.

Still, Old Lady Li couldn't bear to see her son like this. She hugged her granddaughter and poked her forehead, "Lazy girl, you just know how to make your father work himself up."

Jia Yin stuck out her tongue and chirped, "Funiu, help Mommy vent!"

Everyone burst into laughter. “Our Fu Niu is so clever, she even knows to protect her mother.”

Tao Hongying's eyes were red, she lowered her head and kissed her daughter, then turned her head and glared fiercely at Li Laosi, "Fortunately, I still have a daughter and son. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would just watch the fox spirit enter the door and be driven out to become a concubine."

"No, no!" Li Laosi wished he could rip out his heart to show his wife and daughter.

This time he really learned his lesson. From now on, he won't even go near a female rabbit when hunting!

Li Laotai stepped forward to plead for her son, "Let it go, Hongying. Lao Si is just a fool. In the future, if he dares to make a mistake again, don't you bother, I'll break his legs myself."

"Well, broken legs, both of them!" Fu Niu followed up with emphasis.

She also believed her father was innocent, but it wouldn't hurt to give him a little warning.

Li Laosi's face fell. "Mother is right, I won't dare to do it again. From now on, even if a fly lands on me, I'll split it into male and female!"

Tao Hongying burst out laughing, and couldn't put on a stern face anymore. The matter was just let go.

Li Laosi wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief. He was finally alive.

But he didn't know that at this moment, because he was falsely accused by the woman, all the men in the village were implicated. They were scolded and beaten by their wives and mothers, fearing that they would be seduced by the female demon.

The second day was a fine day. When the sun rose over the eastern mountain, there were still crowds of cars and people at the entrance of the valley.

All the previously booked guests had arrived. It felt like, perhaps it was an illusion, that there were more female guests today, and even a few young girls of seven or eight years old.

The village head was remembering it well, he paced back and forth at the entrance of the grain store for a while, seeing this, he happily went back to look after his melon fields.

As usual, everyone was busy and had put yesterday's events behind them.

In a blink of an eye, it was five or six days again. In the new capital, a chic courtyard in the south of the city was rented at a high price and cleaned up and decorated anew.

Because all who entered and exited were beautiful women, there was often the sound of silk and bamboo music coming out, which aroused the curiosity of passersby and they would often crane their necks to peek inside.

On occasion, this very day, the gate of the courtyard opened early. A beautiful young girl stood before it, looking as though she were waiting to greet guests.

But, until the sun rose directly overhead, there wasn't even a sparrow in front of the door!

In the courtyard, flowers adorned her like a celestial maiden, but her face was grim as she asked, “Have all the invitations been sent out”

A woman replied, "Master, they've all been sent invitations. Young Master Wu and Young Master Liu, along with others, have all personally agreed to come and support us."

When Hua Ru Yue frowned, ready to speak, a sudden commotion erupted at the doorway.

The women were all delighted, “Oh, here they come! Here they come!”

As they spoke, they surrounded Huaruyue and walked out. Just as they reached the Second Gate, instead of a young master or noble, a group of burly maidservants came face to face!

Hua Ru Yue and the others changed color, all feeling that something was amiss.

Before they could even ask questions, the maids rushed forward and grabbed their hair, pulling them to the ground. They ripped off their dresses, leaving only their undergarments.

Hua Ru Yue and others screamed in terror, desperately fighting back, "Who are you Why are you beating us up Help!"

Unfortunately, the maids didn't make a sound. They were quickly bound and dragged to the door, forced to kneel on the ground.

The commotion drew in the nearby villagers and idlers.

Someone couldn't stand it and asked, "What's going on here How can you bully a group of women!"

The maids ignored them, carrying over some buckets and lifting the lids to pour water onto Hua Ru Yue and the others.

The stench, foul and overpowering, directly engulfed the faces and bodies of people like Huā Rúyuè. Things that couldn't be described hung in their hair buns, making anyone who saw them want to vomit.

The onlookers' faces turned pale, and they retreated several feet with a roar!

Three more chapters are offered. time. Choose two things she likes, and have someone send them to her tomorrow.""Got it, Grandma. She's my best friend, I could never forget her!" Jiayin replied with a smile, looking like a loyal and...
