In the end, after entangling in their passion for an hour, the effects from the drug that Chu Jiao took had finally worn off, causing her to fall asleep in Yan Zhan’s arms from sheer exhaustion.
Yan Zhan dressed the girl as neatly as he could, but still put his large coat over her, covering her entire body. He then picked her up and breezily walked out of the room.
Outside the door, Adjutant Li had already been patiently waiting for a long time.
He had thoroughly searched the entire hall, and just as he was about to burn out from anxiety, he took notice of the secret signal that his governor had left for him, following it all the way here.
Adjutant Li guarded the door closely, throwing a few Japanese guests, who had fainted outside the door into the neighboring room and then hand-chopping their necks to ensure that these individuals would remain unconscious till dawn broke.
“Governor!” Adjutant Li saluted respectfully, but upon catching a glimpse of a thin arm falling out of his embrace, he quickly lowered his head as if he had seen nothing.
“I didn’t bring enough congratulatory gifts today,” Yan Zhan ordered coldly, “Send the present in the room… to the fifth mistress.”
Adjutant Li replied, “Yes sir!”
Zhang Chong was still preoccupied with his socializing outside when Du Xiruo heard some strange noises in the outer room. However, she didn’t pay it much attention, thinking that it was just a servant. She lazily sat on the bed and pinched the bridge of her nose, closing her eyes in recuperation.
Knowing that she needed to serve that old lousy man again in a while, she suddenly felt a wave of nausea hit her. But, upon recalling Yoshida Hideaki’s figure while supporting the staggering Chu Jiao, her mood immediately brightened up again.
At that time, she merely handed Yoshida Hideaki a simple glass of water, so no one could find out what was suspicious about that interaction. But, in that water, was the court secret drug she had asked from her adoptive father. It was said that after a woman consumes it, she could only relieve its effects by copulating, and right at this moment, that nasty Yoshida Hideaki must have already succeeded with his plans.
Heh! On what basis did she have to swear herself to a disgusting old man, while Chu Jiao, on the other hand, was able to obtain the governor’s favor with no effort at all!
She truly wanted to see the scene unfold, of Chu Jiao being disdained and loathed by Governor Yan after this scandalous affair was exposed!
Du Xiruo hooked her lips up into a fine smirk. No man would ever want to marry a broken shoe, so Chu Jiao would definitely not end up becoming the governor’s wife!
As for Yoshida Hideaki… Du Xiruo was not afraid of him the least bit, because she knew that her adoptive father didn’t intend to cooperate with the Japanese. If Yan Zhan were to find out that his fiancée’s chastity had been deprived by the Japanese, his fury would surely be provoked, spelling certain doom for the Japanese!
Realizing that her scheme would hit two birds with one stone, she felt quite delighted with herself.
After waiting for a long time and before Zhang Chong even arrived, Du Xiruo had no choice but to reluctantly get up and fetch him.
However, when she walked to the outer room, she found that Zhang Chongyi still hadn’t come back. Yet, on the chair of the outer room, a naked man was sitting with his head dropped down!
Du Xiruo wanted to call for someone but was afraid of being seen and misunderstood regarding this situation. As such, she could only grab a nearby candlestick to defend herself and cautiously stepped forward, shouting, “Who are you!? I am warning you to leave quickly! This is Marshal Zhang’s wedding room! If you dare to be presumptuous, he’ll take care of you with a gunshot!”
But no reply came.
It was as though the man was in deep sleep.
Du Xiruo mustered up her courage. She held one end of the candlestick and nudged the man on the shoulder. But, she didn’t expect that with just one small poke, the sleeping man fell straight to the side, causing him to face up from the ground.
The man’s eyes were wide open, staring straight at Du Xiruo, and in the middle of his brows was a black hole!
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh”
A sharp shriek resounded throughout the entire hall, cutting across every conversation that was taking place.
※
“Bang!”
Du Xi covered her face in disbelief, weakly collapsing on the bed.
“You can fucking provoke anyone you want, but why the fuck did you choose to provoke that demon Yan Zhan!?”
Zhang Chong slapped his newly married beautiful bride fiercely while still holding opium in his mouth.
“Marshal, wuuu, I didn’t! I didn’t even know that-that Yo- Yoshida Hideaki was just laying in the outer room, dead like this!”
“That’s enough from you.” Zhang Chong waved his hand in chagrin, “Don’t assume that this daddy doesn’t know about the little dirty tricks you’ve been doing behind the scenes.”
Puffing out a large smoke ring, he pointed at Du Xiruo through the heavy smoke, “It’s fine to make a small mess, but don’t make trouble for this daddy!”
“Yan Zhan is already keeping an eye on this daddy, yet you still want to mess with his woman. Are you trying to court death!?”
At that moment, Du Xiruo couldn’t think of any hiccups that had popped up in her plans, causing her intentions to be exposed, but right now, she could only nervously shake her head in denial, looking incomparably pitiful.
She had no idea that for big figures, like Yan Zhan and Zhang Chong, there was no need to speak of evidence. Just a word from them could determine her guaranteed death sentence.
Even though Yan Zhan did not speak to anyone about this matter, Zhang Chong’s people were spread out all over the hall. How could he not know who planted Yoshida Hideaki’s dead body into his new room?
And knowing that he could only eat this loss silently, Zhang Chong felt his teeth ache.
Damn it! A Japanese dying at his banquet was going to be a lot of trouble to deal with.
Tsk.
Marrying this mistress was such a bad idea!
“Tomorrow, you’ll be returning with this daddy to Jinzhong,” Zhang Chong’s mind was fixated on the key that Du Shourong had to the hidden treasures. He knew very well that he couldn’t lay a hand on this stupid woman just yet, so he only verbally warned her, “You better learn your place.”
Then, he tore the woman’s clothes off and started unbuckling his belt.
For him, women were just mere objects used to relieve men’s desires.
Hatred quickly bubbled up in Du Xiruo’s heart, but right now, she could only endure the man’s rough actions and swear in her heart that sooner or later, she would return this ‘favor!’
