Chapter 11: Unhappiness in the Xi Menhu Couple

sign his body was growing taller!Wu Chao suddenly felt his feet light as a feather, he turned around excitedly, and saw Gao Jinlian gracefully approaching with the swaying figure of a water snake."Eld...Gao Jinlian, like a little rabbit, leaped to the edge. Her delicate face was flushed red, like she had been drinking.

"Now that you're up, let's get to work. This servant... this servant will knead dough for my master."

Wu Chao shook his head at Gao Jinlian. "No need to knead! From today onwards, our family will no longer sell pastries."

Gao Jinhua was taken aback: "Master, if we don't sell pastries, what will we live on"

Wǔ Chāo took Gao Jīnlián's hand, her soft hand nestled in his. "Although Wang Po is spiteful, she did say one thing that makes sense. My lady is a beauty like an immortal, how could she do such menial work"

From now on, you don't have to do any menial labor. Just stay at home and count your money. I will give you a life of luxury, happiness, and good health.

"Saying that, Wu Chao also specially asked: "I wonder if my lady believes me"

Gao Jinlian nodded and smiled: "Trust me!"

The sun is at its zenith.

The main gate of Ximen's manor was pounded loudly: "Open the door! Open the door!"

As early as this morning, Xi Men Hu was already completely drunk.

He has been spending his nights in brothels recently, sleeping with different women every night. He revels in the nightlife and is completely lost in it.

The steward hurried to welcome Ximen He into the mansion. This was Ximen He's "Three Halls" grand estate, with two walls separating the main entrance from the courtyard.

Ximen He had just entered the inner courtyard when his legal wife, Wu Yuemei, came towards him, her voluptuous and alluring figure swaying.

As soon as Ximen He saw Wu Yuemei, his brows involuntarily furrowed.

This Wu Yuemei is the daughter of a wealthy family in the capital. Although she was born well and had an excellent appearance, her figure made countless men salivate. The only pity is that whenever she gets close, Ximen He would smell a stench of fox odor that made him nauseous!

Before Wu Yuemei could get close, a family rushed over in a hurry. He leaned into Ximenhe's ear and whispered a few words.

Xi Men Hu was furious at once and kicked the servant to the ground: "Damn it, you good-for-nothing! You can't even handle such a small matter. What use are you to me!"

Ximen Hu turned on the servant, beating him with fists and feet. After venting his anger, he turned to leave.

"My Lord!"

Wu Yuemei shouted, rushing over: "Master, you're agitated so early in the morning, don't upset your health. I've already had someone prepare the dishes that Master likes. Why don't you have some breakfast first"

"No more, no more, I don't have the appetite for it anymore!"

Xi Men He was about to leave. Wu Yue Mei reached out to stop him, but before he could speak, Xi Men He glared at her fiercely, a strong disgust evident in his eyes!

At that moment, Wu Yuemei's heart felt as if it had been pierced by a knife. She staggered back two steps.

"My lord..."

"You stay here in the mansion, content and carefree, and leave all other matters to me!"

After finishing his words, Ximen Hu rushed out of the house.

Looking at Ximen Hu's departing figure, Wu Yuemei tightly covered her heaving chest, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Just after Ximen He left, a maidservant quietly slipped in.

“Someone gave a gift to the madam.”

Wu Yuemei gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her tender white hands: "Who is it"

"It's unclear, he said that after the madam saw something, it became clear."

After finishing her words, the maid presented Wu Yuemei with a porcelain bottle. This one was about the size of a palm, and its mouth was tightly sealed with cloth and wood.

Even so, when Wu Yuemei took the bottle, she smelled a rich aroma. It was a scent that resembled flowers mingled with the heavy breath of Chinese medicine, making one feel refreshed and invigorated upon smelling it.

And the moment Wu Yuemei opened the lid, a burst of fragrance filled the air.

Wu Yuemei and a few people beside her unconsciously took a deep breath.

The maidservant who delivered the bottle then said, “The deliverer said that this bottle contains something called Yaochi Jade Dew. Lady, you can apply it to your armpits after bathing in the morning or evening.”

Wu Yuemei trembled slightly, gripping the bottle in her hand with excitement. From a young age, she had been plagued by body odor. When Ximen He married her, he swore heaven and earth that he wouldn't mind. But who would have thought this man was full of lies!

Although Wu Yuemei was somewhat annoyed that Ximen He lacked compassion, she had married into the family and now, besides pleasing Ximen He, there was no other way out for her.

“Get the water ready, I'm going to bathe and change!”

Wangpo Tea House.

Ximen Hu rushed in, and said to Madam Wang, "Auntie! Your plan didn't work. Bai Sheng that rascal somehow got ten jars of wine and paid off the debt!"

Wang Po laughed heartily and said, "This has already spread everywhere. Those ten cash were given by Wu Chao."

"What" Ximen Hu didn't believe it.

"That three-inch nail, in order to save a scoundrel, was willing to pay such a high price"

"Yes, it's already spread all over town," Wang Po nodded.

"Do you know that Bai Sheng's group of hoodlums gave Wu Chao a nickname, calling him 'Coal in the Snow'!"

"Damn it!" Ximen He spat out a mouthful of phlegm with force.

He looked eagerly at the Wang Po: “Grain, I’ve exerted so much effort, I can’t give up halfway!”

Wang Po's face held a playful smile: "Sir, you told me plainly, do you merely want to play with that young woman, or do you truly intend to take Wu Dalang's wife"

"My dear mother doesn't know this, but ever since I laid eyes on Gao Jinhua, I can hardly eat or sleep. Even in my dreams, all I see is her graceful and alluring figure. Now, none of the courtesans in the brothel can stir my interest."

Wang Po slapped the table: "Good, since that's the case, then please ask Ximen to spend some money. I have a nephew, nicknamed Shortfoot Tiger, named Wang Ying. He comes from a family of carriages and is now a strongman on Qingfeng Mountain, the second in command, with over a hundred brothers under him. As long as Ximen gives me 1000 taels, I will ask him to come down the mountain and get rid of this Wu Dalang for you! Let you and Gao Jinlian be together happily ever after!"ally thought the tiger would go to eat the bodies of the bandits on the ground, but it ignored those already dead bodies and opened its claws to chase after them!Bai Sheng took a glance over his shoul...
