Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 371: Wang Xiaoliu’s Happiness

Qian Yi arrived in Shengjing City and assumed the position of the Seventeenth Prince. This matter is already unstoppable unless Li Qingmu is willing to explain his identity to Princess Nianxi.

But Long Yue knows his temperament; he certainly would be unwilling.

So, next, they must prepare to face the other’s revenge.

The enmity between Qian Yi and them is indescribable. In the past, he first harassed him, and afterward, Li Qingmu retaliated. Later, at Pang Shuangyue’s behest, he pursued Li Qingmu, subjecting him to inhuman torture...

Each and every one of these accounts destined them to become mortal enemies!

Now he has become the Seventeenth Prince, the Emperor’s most favored son, surely boasting his status, but who knows what methods he’ll use to deal with them?

"Really, a snake not killed turns to harm."

Li Qingmu drank the brewed medicinal soup and let out a cold laugh.

Back then, Qi Jingyu asked if he wanted to go to the dungeon to see how miserable Qian Yi’s fate was, but he refused.

Because he believed a villain’s face wouldn’t last long.

But everything now tells him that what he did back then was extremely wrong.

What gentleman? What’s needed are scoundrels, and he should have ended him with his own hands, once and for all!

"I also bear some responsibility for this matter."

Long Yue felt very guilty; back then, she should have been more ruthless and just killed him directly to avoid all this trouble.

But Li Qingmu shook his head: "No, even if he’s dead, Wang Yi, Liu Yi, and Chen Yi will emerge; it’s unstoppable."

Long Yue remained silent; the only difference is that others might not harbor such great hatred against them as a couple.

"Yue’er, I want to sleep for a while, to rest."

"Alright!"

Long Yue knew his thoughts, wanting to rest and gather his strength to face the upcoming crisis, so she did not disturb him, helping him with the quilt before turning and leaving.

"Madam, Imperial Censor Su and Young Master Xiang’s couple have arrived."

Just as Long Yue stepped out of the room, a servant entered to report.

Long Yue was slightly taken aback; Su Shi and his wife visiting her wasn’t surprising, as his relationship with Li Qingmu was very good, not to mention Xiang Yin and his wife.

What surprised Long Yue was, why was this servant reporting?

Where is Wang Xiaoliu?

As the housekeeper of Long Yue’s family, it’s his duty to report such things, and this task allows him to often appear before the master, a lucrative position; he wouldn’t easily let someone else take it.

"Where is Wang Xiaoliu?"

Long Yue inquired.

The servant said: "Housekeeper Wang said he had some matters, so he went outside."

Some matters?

Long Yue frowned slightly; she had just returned, and when things are busy, shouldn’t he be more helpful? What matters are there outside?

But this was just a complaint in her heart; Wang Xiaoliu is human too and will have some personal matters, so Long Yue couldn’t say much.

She nodded: "Alright, I understand. Go and tell the kitchen staff to prepare some good dishes, as there are guests."

"Alright, Madam!"

The servant happily left, but Long Yue fell into contemplation.

Over the years, she had been very kind to the servants, which in turn made her forget some rules and, even more, her authority!

Even if she had been kind to these people, few would remember the favor, fewer would remember it forever, as the initial kindness would fade with time.

"I’ll ask Wang Xiaoliu later!"

She thought to herself and went to the main hall to receive Su Shixiang Yin and his wife.

...

Recently, Wang Xiaoliu was in high spirits.

He is the Housekeeper of the General Mansion, and outside, anyone hearing this would instinctively avoid him and salute.

Previously, he was just an ordinary craftsman, of the lowest strata in the hierarchy, constantly ordered around with no self-respect, let alone status and honor!

But now, he has it all.

All thanks to his benefactor, who granted him a new life!

No, not just a new life, but a perfect life!

Now his status is different; a seventh-rank official in the Prime Minister’s court, Li Qingmu, the Imperial Censor, favored by the Emperor, accomplished much, and even saved the royal court, not to mention his immense knowledge.

Such a person is destined to rise like a phoenix, with limitless prospects!

And as the housekeeper of the General Mansion, his status has soared, making many friends, and he met a woman.

A woman he is deeply infatuated with, who truly understands him, and is extraordinarily beautiful.

Though she is but a widow, her mere sight captivated him!

In that moment, he knew he would marry none but her in this life!

And she said she would marry none but him!

At that moment, he was moved to tears!

He has status, a promising future, a master who treats him well; if he could start a family and have children, life would indeed be sweet!

Thus, after two months of being away, he was dying to see his beloved, rushing to her home.

It was in a very secluded alley that if she hadn’t brought him there initially, he would never have known.

In a particular house in that alley, he tasted the pinnacle of life’s pleasures!

The aroma that belonged to her, beautiful and sweet, unforgettable for a lifetime!

So, he worked harder, striving to prove himself, hoping to win more favor from his master and permission to marry this woman.

She is wonderful, but after all, she is a widow; if he is not outstanding enough, his master would surely not agree.

With such thoughts turning in his mind, Wang Xiaoliu entered the alley, skillfully finding his way to that house.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

He gently rapped on the door.

"Who is it?"

A mesmerizing voice came from inside, making every hair on Wang Xiaoliu stand on end.

It was her, the woman of his affections!

"Zhen’er, I’m here; I’m back from my trip. I came to find you as soon as I returned. I’m sorry for leaving you lonely during this time. I’m here to make it up to you now!"

Wang Xiaoliu spoke with excitement, his body trembling, anxious and uneasy.

The woman he longed for day and night, she mustn’t be angry with him!

Silence filled the room. Just as Wang Xiaoliu’s heart began to lift in anticipation, an affectionate voice came from inside: "You were working for your master, and waiting a few more days is what I should do. Why say sorry? Come in, the door is unlocked!"

At that moment... Wang Xiaoliu was ecstatic!

His Zhen’er was indeed understanding!

"Zhen’er, remember to lock the door next time. Alright, I’m coming in!"

Wang Xiaoliu joyfully pushed open the door and entered, finding the room empty!

Wang Xiaoliu was dumbfounded. What... what was happening? He had just heard Zhen’er’s voice; how was it that no one was there when he entered?

Could it be Zhen’er was angry with him and playing hide and seek?

"Zhen’er, I know I was wrong, forgive me!"

Wang Xiaoliu groped his way inside, suddenly seeing a shadow appear behind him!

The shadow was holding a stick!

His heart filled with fear!

"Who’s there?"

A startled shout escaped him as he instinctively crouched to avoid the strike, but unexpectedly, another dark figure appeared from nowhere, striking his back with a palm!

"Puff!"

Wang Xiaoliu spat out blood and passed out on the spot!
