The Slender Waist-Chapter 81 - 65: Crazy Banquet_2

Luo Yue did not want to miss such an opportunity. But when she was dancing just now, Wei Zheng had only given her a couple of extra glances and hadn’t shown any other feelings, which made her hesitant to approach him...

Just then, Wei Zheng suddenly left his seat.

Luo Yue, in a panic, wanted to follow after him.

The courtyard was crowded with people, and the light from the torches couldn’t cover much distance. She looked around but couldn’t find Wei Zheng.

Where is he? Luo Yue was so anxious that she began to sweat.

She wanted to find her good sister Shao Xueqing to discuss a strategy when she realized she was also gone...

A bad premonition suddenly rose in Luo Yue’s heart, and she headed straight for Shao Xueqing’s residence.

The estate was a walled compound with a triple-entry layout. Feng Yun lived in the main house with the servants, while the concubines stayed in the west wing, some distance away. This area was not inhabited by maid-servants or miscellaneous workers; all the concubines were at the stone dam outside the estate, and the entire west wing was quiet.

Without any lights, Luo Yue walked nervously in the dark, treading lightly.

It was at this moment that a low moan, as if filled with pain, emanated from Shao Xueqing’s room.

Luo Yue stopped in her tracks.

It was Shao Xueqing’s voice, indeed hers.

Mixed with that moaning was the panting of a man...

Luo Yue, who came from that kind of establishment, although still a virgin, understood very well what those sounds meant. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Shao Xueqing, you are good.

The pure and noble daughter of the county magistrate...

In the entire Changmen Village, aside from Feng Twelve, you’re the most esteemed lady.

And yet, here you are, carrying on clandestinely with a man behind everyone’s backs?

Luo Yue’s heart raced as she tiptoed to the window.

The woman’s voice suddenly began to sob quietly, "General, will you take good care of your concubine in the future?"

The man didn’t speak for a while, only rough breathing could be heard.

After a moment, Shao Xueqing’s crying became slightly louder, fearing she would attract someone’s attention with the noise, the man quickly covered her mouth.

"Don’t make a sound..."

That low voice allowed Luo Yue to recognize it.

It was Wei Zheng!

The man in the room was really Wei Zheng!

Luo Yue’s heart shattered.

"General..." Shao Xueqing’s voice called out from between the man’s fingers, "...I belong to you now, you’ve taken me; please don’t abandon me..."

"Hmm..." Wei Zheng sounded impatient, speeding up his movements as if fire would burst from his throat.

The urgent thrusting made the wooden bed creak and moan.

With a bang! The door suddenly opened.

The entangled pair were startled and turned their heads in unison.

There were no lights on inside; the figure at the door was draped in moonlight, like a ghostly woman.

Shao Xueqing recognized her first, "Ah Luo?"

Luo Yue’s rage was about to explode from her chest, but seeing the entwined adulterous couple, she forcefully suppressed it, and while unfastening her outer robe, she walked towards them.

"General, my heart also delights in you..."

She then closed her eyes slightly, while embracing Wei Zheng from behind right in front of Shao Xueqing.

"General, take me as well. I’m so pitiful, nearly dying of thirst..."

Shao Xueqing’s heart almost stopped beating.

Both ashamed and angry.

Luo Yue used to frequently discuss romantic affairs with her, and she knew Luo Yue was an unashamed woman who dared to do anything, but she had never expected her to be so audacious.

Even less did she imagine that the hard-won opportunity would be ruined due to Luo Yue’s despicable behavior.

She was the daughter of the former magistrate of Andu County, born into a decent family.

She had hoped to marry Wei Zheng with her virtue intact, longing for affection and a chance to escape her cage.

To Shao Xueqing, Changmen Village was that cage.

She was born out of wedlock, but even so, she had always lived a life of luxury; she had never experienced the hardships of Tianzhuang.

Tianzhuang had everything she loathed: snakes, worms, mice, ants, moths, and mosquitoes. Every day felt like living in hell to her.

If she could secure Wei Zheng’s affection and return to the capital with him, she would finally be able to escape this suffering.

That was what led her to risk everything on a single throw of the dice.

But with Luo Yue’s arrival, her pledged commitment had lost its meaning.

Their current behavior, wasn’t it the same as that of the brothel women?

Moreover, that shameless Luo Yue, fearing that Wei Zheng would refuse her, actually had the audacity to reach out at such a moment...

This was a scene Shao Xueqing could never have imagined in her dreams; she stood petrified, as if struck by lightning!

What she had least expected was for Wei Zheng to actually let that vile woman pull him away, then turn around and start rolling beside her, entangling in a mess right before her eyes...

Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous.

Shao Xueqing let out a hoarse cry, standing there in a daze.

"You... have you gone mad?"

Luo Yue let out a short, sharp scream, tightly squeezing Wei Zheng’s arm, "General, be gentle..."

"Mad, completely mad..." Shao Xueqing sat up, watching them and murmuring to herself.

Wei Zheng also felt the madness.

From the moment Shao Xueqing had led him into the room, the alcohol had already begun to fuel a certain crazed sensation within him.

This was the concubine bestowed upon Pei Jue by the Empress Dowager Herself.

He feared Pei Jue, but it was such fear that, fueled by the alcohol, sparked his competitive spirit, unleashing his wild animal nature in full.

Pei Jue had humiliated him; so what if he secretly toyed with his concubine?

Of course, he had never considered bringing them back to the capital.

A cheap woman who threw herself at him was not to be wasted.

But he had never ever imagined that one would be innocent, and the other, still untouched.

"Is Pei Jue not up to the task?"

Wei Zheng squeezed out a joyous and triumphant inquiry from his throat, his brain seemingly filled with hot blood, disregarding everything else.

Luo Yue let out a long, drawn-out sigh, stuttering, unable to utter a complete word.

"Shameless, Luo Yue, you’re shameless!" Finally regaining her composure from the shock, Shao Xueqing sorted through everything that had just occurred before her eyes, finding it utterly inconceivable.

This vile woman, her dear sister, had stolen Wei Zheng away from her, even as it was happening right now, and the man who had been whispering sweet nothings just moments before was now, before her watching eyes, entangling with Luo Yue...

She closed her eyes, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"You’ve gone mad, I’m going to... tell on you, tell on you..."

Her mind in turmoil, she bit down on her rattling teeth, gathered her clothes, and was about to leave, when Wei Zheng grabbed her, pressing her down onto Luo Yue...

"Ah..."

Suddenly, a blaze erupted outside the house.

It was at this moment that Feng Yun led a group of men storming in.

In the bright light of the fire, the shambles inside the room was shocking.

A wooden bed, three disheveled men and women.
