"I'm sorry for neglecting you during this time." Yang Bingshan sighed lightly, the frail appearance of the woman in his arms evoking memories from years past. Ever since the Wen Family returned after half a year, he had become quite muddled.
"That won't happen again!"
"Really?" The woman lifted her tear-filled eyes, traces of tears marking her face, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes couldn't hide her pitiful charm.
"Even if I grow old, I can't go back on my word. Otherwise, I might as well not live!"
Liang Mei'er had accompanied Yang Bingshan for many years and knew him like the back of her hand. He was arrogant and could not stand being looked down upon, yet he favored women who adored him.
Understanding this point, Liang Mei'er knew that this opportunity had come. The Wen Family had handed over the chance to her; how could she be polite?
Naturally, Yang Bingshan stayed in Liang Mei'er's courtyard without hesitation. The next morning, Auntie Concubine regained favor, and news of the lady's fall from grace spread to every corner of Yang Residence.
On the surface, the servants were respectful towards the Wen Family, but inside they began to stir with excitement.
Did this mean that Liang Mei'er was about to take control of the household again? Should they abandon their loyalty to the Wen Family and cling tightly to Auntie Concubine?
After all, Liang Mei'er had been favored for many years; she was not someone the Wen Family could easily compare to.
Of course, there were also those who genuinely stood by the Wen Family and were not afraid of Liang Mei'er's reappearance before everyone.
Compared to her previous arrogance, Liang Mei'er had learned to be more subdued this time. At least in front of Yang Bingshan, she would no longer act so arrogantly.
"Just focus on your work; you don't need to worry about me."
Everyone was stunned! It was the first time Liang Mei'er spoke so gently to the servants; it was blindingly surprising. What was going on? Had the sun risen from the west?
Look at the color, nothing unusual, very normal!
Liang Mei'er had long accumulated power in the hearts of the servants. She thought that with the Wen Family's strong return, she would no longer have a chance to rise again. Who would have thought...
"Auntie Concubine, how are you!" The servants bowed respectfully.
Little did they know whether Liang Mei'er was truly as she appeared! They had to uncover the truth!
Liang Mei'er had not enjoyed this feeling of being revered like a star for a long time; it felt almost surreal.
And all of this was because of that woman from the Wen Family, who had taken her original position as the lady of the house, snatched away her title as Madam Yang, and usurped her son's legitimate status.
Everything made Liang Mei'er wish she could kill her.
No! She could not sit idly by; now that she had gained her freedom, she felt even more motivated.
In the afternoon, Yang Bingshan left Yang Residence to discuss business.
A plump figure quietly slipped into Liang Mei'er's courtyard and stealthily closed the door behind them.
Inside, Liang Mei'er sat in front of a mirror, meticulously adorning herself. A woman beautifies herself for those she wishes to please, and men enjoy beautiful women.
Suddenly, someone hugged her from behind, startling her so much that she jumped: "Ah!"
The hurried cry abruptly stopped: "Shh! Don't speak; it's me!"
The greasy hand of You Lululu reached over, "How is it? Have you gained the favor of the master again? Doesn't it feel good?"
It turned out to be a chubby man, speaking in a slick tone, occasionally making advances on Liang Mei'er.
Liang Mei'er impatiently pushed the man away, looking annoyed, "Don't touch me!"
Compared to Yang Bingshan, who maintained a good figure even in middle age, this short and stout man should just stay where it's comfortable for him.
"Oh! So now that you've used me, you want to toss me aside? It's not that easy. Aren't you afraid I'll spill the beans?" The man's breath slowly brushed against the woman's ear.
"Do you dare? Aren't you afraid Yang Bingshan will kill you?"
"What do I have to fear? I'm all alone. Having a beauty for company makes even the road to the underworld colorful, doesn't it? But you're different; you could have enjoyed the wealth and glory of the Yang Family, and now..."
"You!" Liang Mei'er was furious, but the man's words were true. Neither of them dared to expose their affair; otherwise, both would be in danger.
No man could tolerate being cuckolded.
After a moment's thought, Liang Mei'er slowly stood up, urged the man to sit down, then sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck, speaking softly, "I was just joking with you earlier. Why get so angry?"
She still needed the man's help with something.
"My beauty, now you see my worth, right? Yang Bingshan has neglected you so much. Without my support, how could you endure? Isn't that right?" She gently pinched his backside. "Yang Bingshan can't satisfy you; look, I'm here for you, aren't I?"
The two quickly became entangled, moving from the bed to the floor and then to the dressing table, leaving traces of their passionate encounter everywhere.
At this moment, Yang Bingshan was unaware that the woman he had devoted the most sincerity to had already betrayed him—oh no! She might have betrayed him long ago.
He was still immersed in the woman's obedience and understanding, along with a slight guilt from being indifferent to her recently.
Liang Mei'er gasped softly, her delicate breaths mingling with the sweat glistening on the man's plump body as they entangled together.
Afterward, Liang Mei'er let out a playful laugh, saying, "Darling, I still have something for you to help me with."
The man, satisfied, nodded quietly after listening to Liang Mei'er whispering in his ear before he left.
Dressed and serious, he appeared as if nothing had just transpired.
However, all of their actions were observed by one person.
At the same time, Ten Li Pu, Yang Yichen's face was dark as storm clouds. He could never have imagined what his mother had experienced after returning from the incense offering yesterday.
Fortunately, he had always stationed people to guard his mother. If it weren't for the guards noticing that Yang Bingshan had been inside for too long without coming out and that there were unusual movements inside, he couldn't bear to think of what might have happened.
Yang Bingshan was truly a beast—no! He was worse than a beast!
The young man clenched the letter tightly in his hands before spreading his palm open, watching it turn to dust and vanish into the air.
"Anan, prepare the horses. We are heading back to Biqi Town!"
Two sleek steeds burst forth from the Yang Family courtyard, kicking up a cloud of dust as they quickly disappeared from sight.
A moment later, the two appeared in front of the Yang Residence.
Striding directly towards the Wen Family, Yang Yichen felt a slight tremor in his heart. His mother's health had just improved, but it was still fragile. He worried whether she could withstand the commotion caused by Yang Bingshan.
In the blink of an eye, the servants only saw a figure flash by.
"Who just came in?"
"I don't know. I didn't see anyone. Are you sure you didn't just imagine it?"
"I definitely saw someone pass by!"
The servants' discussion was of no concern to Yang Yichen. His greatest worry was the current state of the Wen Family; if anything unexpected happened, he would never forgive himself.
It wasn't until he saw the Wen Family quietly lying in the shade reading that the knot in his heart began to loosen.
"Yichan, you're here?" The Wen Family didn't want their son to worry. After a night of reflection on yesterday's events, there was no lingering shadow.
Yang Yichen sneered lightly. He was looking forward to Yang Bingshan's next move; after all, it was more interesting to play with a mouse than to kill it in one go, wasn't it?
