Lu Yuan clasped his hands behind his back, continuing to mock.
What, what???
Father, is this true?
Lu Huaixinâs heart sank, instantly engulfed by extreme fear, yet he still harbored a sliver of hope.
"Father, please donât scare your child, I truly know my mistake."
"Scare you? Heh, think whatever you like..."
Lu Yuan was too lazy to waste time with him; after all, he had many sons, and didnât lack this one. Since he had no value anymore, it was better to discard him; in any case, he would never offend the Emperor for his sake.
Initially, it was to please the Emperor that he had the legitimate son abdicate for the illegitimate son, allowing this scoundrel to become the heir.
He could even sacrifice his legitimate son, so how could he now offend the Emperor for an illegitimate one?
Blame it on this scoundrel for not understanding his own situation.
Fortunately, the Marquis Mansion wasnât completely handed over to him; otherwise, it might have been recklessly squandered in the future.
"The Princess absolutely wonât marry a useless person, and Changle Marquis mansion canât end with my generation either."
"So, after much thought, I believe that your third brother is more suitable to be the Young Master."
"Donât blame the Princess for giving you that kind of potion, and I wonât seek justice for you. What you did, even if it went to the Government, youâd be charged with adultery."
"This matter is unreasonable; even if I had connections, I couldnât argue with the Emperor. Just accept your bad luck."
After finishing his words, Lu Yuan stormed off.
Lu Huaixin, on the other hand, was like a man struck by lightning, unable to return to his senses for a long time.
Given a potion that rendered him impotent, and stripped of his position as the Young Master, these two blows were too heavy; he couldnât accept it at all.
"Ah..."
Suddenly, he cried out in agony, throwing the pillow to the ground in a fit, much like a madman.
"This isnât true, it canât be true, I donât believe it, I donât believe it, ah..."
The commotion he caused frightened the young servant waiting outside, who shivered in fear and dared not enter, opting to cover his ears and pretend not to hear.
Lu Huaixin didnât believe he was rendered impotent.
Once he could barely stand, he randomly pulled a maid onto the bed, roughly tearing off her clothes, groping her and successfully scaring her to tears.
The maid sobbed, looking at him in terror, dreading the impending violation.
Yet unexpectedly, he merely groped incessantly but went no further.
The maid lay there in confusion, gritting her teeth and enduring.
"Seduce me, did you hear?"
The young body beneath him was soft and fragrant, feeling rather pleasant in his hands; Lu Huaixin touched her repeatedly, yet his body showed no reaction.
His expression gradually darkened, but he still refused to believe he was impotent; he thought, surely it must be because the maid was as lifeless as a dead fish, leaving him uninterested.
He then issued a fierce shout, startling the maid into trembling uncontrollably, shedding another string of tears.
"Move, or Iâll sell you to a brothel."
Seeing her motionless, Lu Huaixin grew more irritable, and couldnât resist threatening through gritted teeth.
The maid, terrified by his threats, trembled as she admitted her mistake, then awkwardly kissed his lips, her delicate hands slipping inside his shirt.
The maid seduced him earnestly, yet his body still didnât respond, making Lu Huaixinâs face blacken further, his anger palpable as he yelled.
"Canât you even do this?"
"S-sorry, Young Master, I truly didnât mean to, please donât be angry..."
The maidâs nose stung with guilt, tears streaming like broken pearls; unaware he had lost his heir status, she still addressed him as Young Master.
However, Lu Huaixin was unsympathetic, grasping her throat and dragging her down, threatening viciously.
"Do it, if you canât even manage this, what use are you?"
The maid trembled violently, shut her eyes, obediently opened her mouth, not daring to resist.
Half an hour later.
The maid was tossed roughly onto the ground; Lu Huaixin, like a maddened beast, overflowing with uncontainable rage, shouted at the maid with bloodshot eyes.
"Get out!!!"
The maid, as if granted amnesty, hastily fled in disarray, clothing disheveled.
In the following two days, Lu Huaixin, still relentless, had the young servant buy all sorts of tonics; every hour, he would randomly bring a âluckyâ maid to the room for games.
Soon, his behavior, comparable to a pervertâs, spread throughout the Marquis Mansion.
For a time, the maids treated him as though he were a plague, avoiding him unless they absolutely couldnât.
The matter inevitably reached Lu Yuanâs ears.
Lu Yuan knew it was because he didnât believe the Princess would give him such a potion; to this, he simply sneered mockingly.
"Let him wreck havoc, as long as he doesnât cause major trouble, let him go ahead."
While Lu Huaixin indulged in such absurdity, the Yun sisters, Yun Wanyao and Yun Wanqing, were not idle either.
Wanting to gather information, Yun Wanyao took Yun Wanqing to visit Mo Zhaozhao at the Princess Mansion every day.
Princess Mansion.
A garden full of plum blossoms, petals fluttering down.
Mo Zhaozhao chatted leisurely with Yun Wanyao, while teasing the little baby in her arms.
At this moment, Jin Zhi approached, holding a letter in her hands, presenting it to Mo Zhaozhao.
"Reporting to Her Highness, this is a letter sent by Guard Feng."
Upon hearing this, Mo Zhaozhao arched an eyebrow, reached out to take the envelope, and opened it in front of Yun Wanyao.
Quickly scanning the contents of the letter, her expression became increasingly colorful.
"Tsk, this Lu Huaixin, what a disgrace..."
She shook her head, saying disdainfully.
The comment piqued Yun Wanyaoâs curiosity, but she knew what was appropriate to question and what wasnât, thus suppressing her curiosity and pretending not to hear a thing.
Unexpectedly, Mo Zhaozhao handed the letter to her in the next instant.
"Ah Yao, take a look."
Upon hearing this, Yun Wanyao felt a small leap of joy inside, though her expression was slightly conflicted.
"What is this? Can I really look at it?"
Mo Zhaozhao spread the letter out on Yun Wanqingâs stomach, and Yun Wanqing paused momentarily, promptly using her spiritual power to look.
[Since the Princess has allowed Sister to read it, and placed the letter on me, it implies that Iâm allowed to read it too, right?]
[In that case, I wonât be courteous.]
[Yes, correct, I was curious when the Princess received the letter; curiosity, everyone has it, so I was curious too, thereâs no problem with that, right?]
Yun Wanyao: "..."
So, itâs not strange for her to be curious, right?
"Oh, listen to you! If you werenât supposed to see it, would I show it to you?"
Mo Zhaozhaoâs voice was haughty, and Yun Wanyao hastily suppressed her rising smile.
"Then, Iâll really read it?"
"Go ahead, donât be so polite with me."
"Yes, as the Princess says."
Yun Wanyao nodded, holding Yun Wanqing in one arm and the letter in the other, her eyes quickly scanning over it.
Upon seeing the letterâs content, her face immediately turned to an indescribable expression.
[Tsk, has Lu Huaixinâs character collapsed? It seems completely shattered.]
[In the plot, although he couldnât be described as gentle and refined, he always minded his reputation.]
[Apart from killing the Princess and secretly loving Su Qianxue, he followed the rules, definitely wouldnât do such things.]
[Whatâs going on now? How has he gone as mad as a lunatic, incessantly tormenting the maids in the mansion?]
[No, no, the letter says heâs impotent? Whatâs this about? How can he become impotent for no reason?]
The letter mainly detailed Lu Huaixinâs actions in the Changle Marquis Mansion, reported by those Mo Zhaozhao had sent to keep an eye on him.
