This Life, I'm Raising the Right Man

Zhou Wangshu watched Su Yaoguang tending to his wound, her red lips slightly curled, glossy and moist, like soft and sweet rose cakes, making one want to take a bite.

She looked up at him, her small face full of concern, babbling incessantly, all criticizing Xiao Yanci, her voice as crisp as a singing oriole.

Zhou Wangshu felt a bit guilty.

The reason the soup spilled on him was, of course, because he did it on purpose.

He wasn’t sure if Xiao Yanci had similar dreams, recently making strange gestures and saying odd things to Su Yaoguang. In his view, those gestures and words were nothing but seduction.

He had to make that shameless guy completely give up, and the simplest way was to shatter his delusions. Now everyone knew his intentions, so if he wanted to seduce Su Yaoguang, he had to be more cautious.

”Luckily, it’s nothing serious, otherwise I’d pour a pot of hot water on him,” Su Yaoguang said as she put away the medicine. ”Take it easy today, don’t work too hard.”

”This little injury is no big deal,” Zhou Wangshu said, ”I’m not surnamed Xiao, I’m not that fragile.”

He’s not stupid, why would he really hurt himself? This minor burn wouldn’t even blister, just apply some medicine and it will disappear.

Zhang Zhaodi said to notify Zhong Lanhua and her daughter to come and take care of Xiao Yanci. An hour later, Jiang Yihuan came up the mountain. Shortly after, Wen Family also came up upon hearing the news.

Zhang Zhaodi lay at the door watching the scene of two women fighting over one man, also seeing Xiao Yanci getting forcibly fed a lot of concoctions by the two women, her eyes filled with excitement as if watching a show.

At night, a scream tore through the night’s silence.

Su Yaoguang was sleeping soundly, awakened by the scream.

Beside her, Jiang Jing asked, ”What happened?”

Zhang Zhaodi got out of bed, dressed: ”I’ll go check, you guys stay put, it might not be anything. Yesterday a mouse crawled onto Aunt Wang’s face, and she screamed just as horribly, really scary.”

Everyone thought, indeed it was like that.

The more people there are, the more things happen. Yesterday it was Aunt Wang, the day before Aunt Zhang, the day before that Uncle Li, Uncle Zhang, and Uncle Zhou...

Su Yaoguang, awakened, couldn’t fall back asleep. She got up after a few turns, put on her shoes, and said, ”I’ll go take a look too.”

Once she left, Zhang Yingdi and Zhang Pandi couldn’t stay idle either.

Jiang Jing also followed Su Yaoguang.

As soon as the women in the room stepped out, they saw many others coming out from various meditation rooms.

”What happened?”

”Oh, don’t even mention it,” a woman said, ”That Wen Family slut actually tried to seduce Limp Zhang, holding him down to do filthy things, and was caught by a young monk.”

Su Yaoguang and the others: ”...”

They looked at each other, exchanging a silent message, ”Jiang Yihuan took action.”

Although Wen Family was a widow, she was quite pretty, her figure unmatched by Jiang Yihuan’s innocent little flower act. If left by Xiao Yanci’s side, given the chance, she would undoubtedly achieve her goal. As for her liking Limp Zhang, that old and ugly bachelor, not one of them believed. With her eyes on Xiao Yanci, how could she possibly be interested in Limp Zhang?

In other words, even if she couldn’t reach her goal, unable to climb up to Xiao Yanci, with her looks, she’d find someone decent at the least. Why degrade herself?

They rushed to the scene of the incident.

Wen Family sat disheveled on the ground, crying pitifully.

”That woman seduced me,” Limp Zhang said, ”While I was just going to the toilet, she jumped on me, my clean reputation destroyed by her.”

Wen Family struggled up, looked into the crowd at Xiao Yanci’s figure, eyes filled with resolve, ”I didn’t seduce him. I don’t even know what happened to me. Young Master, I admire you, how could I do such shameless things? I am wronged, but the evidence is undeniable, preventing any argument. Only by death can I prove my innocence.”

Saying this, Wen Family lunged towards the opposite pillar.

The woman beside her quickly held her back.

”Frankly, though very irritating, but...” The woman glanced at Xiao Yanci, then at Limp Zhang, with a strange expression. ”If she weren’t blind, it shouldn’t have...”

Seduced Limp Zhang.

Everyone thought the same.

”Brother Xiao, could it be some misunderstanding?” Jiang Yihuan said to Xiao Yanci, ”Isn’t it more likely that person wanted to do something to Sister Wen?”

Limp Zhang loudly rebutted: ”Bullshit. I was just going to the toilet. She suddenly rushed out and hugged me, even undoing my belt.”

Xiao Yanci had a dark look on his face from the start until now.

He didn’t like Wen Family, but everyone knew she was his admirer. Now with such a scandal, everyone was watching his joke, linking him with this old, ugly, dirty, and smelly Limp Zhang.

This was an insult to him.

”Madam, did you feel any discomfort earlier?” Su Yaoguang asked.

She had no dealings with this Wen Family, nor any grudges. The so-called enemy’s enemy is a friend; this Wen Family’s enemy was Jiang Yihuan, so she didn’t mind lending a hand.

She couldn’t make life too easy for Xiao Yanci, right?

”I felt very hot earlier, my mind was dizzy, as if irrational,” Wen Family said, ”Am I sick?”

”Jing’er, help take her pulse.”

Jiang Jing nodded, stepped forward to check Wen Family’s pulse.

”How is it?” People were more anxious than Wen Family.

”Brother Xiao, what do they mean by this?” Jiang Yihuan softly said, ”Even if sick, wouldn’t do such a thing...”

”I don’t know either, let’s see!” Xiao Yanci said, ”Did you fall asleep just now?”

”Yes, hearing that scream woke me up!” Jiang Yihuan frowned, ”I can’t believe Sister Wen would do something like this. Could it be Limp Zhang forced her?”

No matter if Limp Zhang forced Wen Family or not, once the case settled, Wen Family’s reputation would be ruined.

”She was drugged,” Jiang Jing said, ”A potent drug.”

”Oh my...” Everyone was shocked, ”Who drugged her?”

All eyes turned to Jiang Yihuan.

Jiang Yihuan’s complexion changed drastically, she said anxiously, ”Why are you looking at me, it has nothing to do with me.”

”Everyone knows your hostility towards Sister Wen. If not you, who would harm her like this? She has no grudge against us, so we wouldn’t hurt an innocent woman.”

”Exactly, who else would tarnish her reputation?”

”Perhaps this person wanted to take advantage of her, worried she wouldn’t comply, so resorted to drugs?” Jiang Yihuan pointed at Limp Zhang.

”Shut your filthy mouth, I may be single but never force a woman. My reputation in the village is good. This is a sacred place; would I dread divine punishment, daring such blasphemy?” Limp Zhang yelled, ”I would never admit to something I didn’t do.”
