Chapter 1377: Chapter 1377: Disappointment
Qin San Lang watched her finish bathing, wrapped in the bed quilt, and laughed. Truly adorable, like a little curled-up rabbit.
"Alright, Iāll go wash now." Qin San Lang picked up the clean clothes she had prepared, and went to bathe behind the screen.
When Lu Chong and his group returned from purchasing supplies, Qin San Lang, Gu Jinli, and their accompanying soldiers, relatives, and servants had eaten and drank their fill, ready to sleep.
Lu Chong and his group were infuriated; having money is truly great, not having to do anything, arriving at the inn and being able to eat, drink, and sleep comfortably. Unlike him, who had to run around, buy stuff meticulously, even haggling with those opportunistic merchants who raised prices, almost ready to pull a knife and slash them.
Lu Chong went back in a fit of anger and took it out on Mrs. Cen, kicking her twice, cursing, "Useless woman, I told you to establish ties with the Gu Family. How did you mess it up, even getting driven away?"
Mrs. Cen was kicked, hurt intensely, but dared not complain and had to climb up to apologize: "Husband, donāt be angry, I failed in this matter, but the Gu Family is very domineering, giving me no face at all, directly having the servants drive me away."
She then assured, "Iāve got an idea, tomorrow Iāll have Sister Tang hide under her carriage, and when weāre about to set off Iāll find Sister Tang, using the chance to get onto the Gu Familyās carriage. Once weāre on the carriage, they canāt drive us away."
Having the daughter hide under the carriage, isnāt she afraid her daughter will get crushed?
But Lu Chong is just as ruthless as Mrs. Cen, thinking the idea is good, coldly snorting, "Do it well, itād be best to visit the Gu Family when Mrs. Ji is also there, that way both can be appeased."
"Ah, youāre right, husband, Iāve noted it down." Mrs. Cen smiled brightly on the face but was cursing Lu Chong fiercely in her heart; weakling, wait for it, if I donāt destroy you, I wonāt be called Cen Xiaofu!
"Husband, hereās the meat rice delivered by the inn, Iāve kept it warm for you, eat up."
Lu Chong, being a Company Commander, the inn prepared meat rice for them, but other soldiers didnāt even get the meat rice and couldnāt enter the inn, only setting up tents in the open outside with their accompanying relatives.
However, the inn provided them with water and firewood, so everyone didnāt have to search for water or wood.
Lu Chong was starving and seeing the meat rice, he ate in big bites, not asking if Mrs. Cen had eaten.
After eating, he set the bowl aside and pulled Mrs. Cen over to have his way.
Lu Chong was crude, not caring about Mrs. Cenās feelings, doing whatever satisfied him, making Mrs. Cen furious, yet she had to cooperate with him, resenting Lu Chong even more.
After the deed, Mrs. Cen braved the cold wind to fetch water and clean up.
Just as she came out of the innās bathhouse, Ding Changsheng pulled her into Ding Geās room.
Mrs. Cen was stunned, never expecting Ding Ge to be so bold. This was an inn; if someone saw them, theyād be finished!
But Ding Ge enjoyed this thrill, seeing her terrified face stirred his interest even more, laughing, "Little bitch, teasing me for days, today youāll witness my prowess."
Ding Changsheng heard this, smiling lasciviously as he closed the door and left.
Mrs. Cen clutched her clothes tightly, saying, "Sir, Iām a married woman, you canāt do this, let me go quickly, or if Lu Chong wakes up, itāll be disastrous."
She had just finished with Lu Chong, and her body was covered in marks; if Ding Ge saw, heād definitely despise her.
Mrs. Cen was resourceful, knowing that if she wanted to follow Ding Ge later, she couldnāt let Ding Ge see any evidence of other men on her, nor let him succeed too quickly, she needed to keep him insatiable.
"Heh, not a virgin maiden anymore, yet playing such games, come to me now." Ding Ge hailed from a noble family in the Central Plains, dominating Qianyang County, and had slept with more women than one can count; allowing Mrs. Cen to tease him for days was already giving her face, as he rushed over, grabbing Mrs. Cen, tearing her clothes with a ripping sound.
However, upon seeing the marks on Mrs. Cenās body, his interest quickly waned, cursing, "Damn it, what a killjoy, hurry up and leave, be clean next time when serving me."
Mrs. Cen felt extremely aggrieved, damn it, Ding Ge and Lu Chong both despise her, she, Cen Xiaofu, is so good-looking, just her family background is a bit lacking, how dare they both want to sleep with her while despising her?
Mrs. Cen defiantly said, "Pah, Ding, I, Cen Xiaofu, am a decent woman, donāt treat me like a prostitute, find someone else to deal with Mrs. Ji, Iām done serving!"
After saying this, Mrs. Cen tried to open the door and leave, but Ding Ge grabbed her, sneering, "Are you pretending to be dignified with me? But Iāve long seen what you are, just someone wanting to use their body to climb up for a better life; do you think you have the right to resist me?"
Saying this, he grabbed Mrs. Cenās chin to kiss her, but Mrs. Cen dodged.
Mrs. Cen pulled out the knife she used for self-defense, pressing it against her own neck, glaring at Ding Ge, "Donāt act recklessly, or Iāll die in front of you!"
She continued, "I do want to use my body to climb up for a better life, but if youāre like Lu Chong, treating me as insignificant, I can kill myself and refuse to serve you!"
Oh, sheās getting tough.
Ding Ge chuckled, grabbing Mrs. Cenās wrist and squeezing, with a clatter her knife fell to the ground, "Little bitch, getting angry now. Alright, it was my fault earlier, donāt be angry, if you obey, I wonāt treat you unfairly. Once the matter is done, youāll surely enjoy a life of commanding servants."
Mrs. Cen listened, but her face did not smile, maintaining her fiery pose, asking, "Will you accept me as a concubine?"
Ding Ge would never marry her, asking if heād marry her would only make Ding Ge think she was stupid and useless.
Ding Ge laughed, "That depends on how well you handle the matter; if itās a success, naturally youāre qualified to be my concubine, if not, youāll just become one of my women in the backyard. But even so, that life is better than being in the Lu Family."
Bastard!
Mrs. Cen cursed inwardly, yet softened her face, "Rest assured, for Sister Tang to live a wealthy life, Iāll definitely help you accomplish this, as Mrs. Ji is too foolish."
Mrs. Cen was scheming, with one sentence she belittled Mrs. Ji and guaranteed her ability to accomplish the task, also establishing herself as a caring mother.
Ding Ge nodded, giving a remark, "Being able to consider your daughterās welfare proves you havenāt completely lost your heart."
After saying this, he asked, "Did Lu Chong kiss you tonight?"
Mrs. Cen shook her head, "Heās a brute, only cares for the act."
"Very well." Ding Ge was satisfied, captured Mrs. Cenās lips in a kiss, then let her go.
And this explosive affair was known to You Ping.
The next day, after Qin San Lang got up, it was reported to him.
