Ugh!
The steward almost vomited.
Wash it twice more? Fine? F * ck you!
If it had been in the past, he would have slapped the person who dared to speak to him like this, but now … he really did not dare.
Even if he were to vomit to death, he dared not do it in front of him!
In short, the steward had been to three markets but he did not manage to buy a single stalk of vegetables!
He returned empty-handed, but it was not as easy as when he had come. There was a sentry every few steps he took. Before he had even taken a few steps, the steward had already been searched everywhere on his body, not letting go of any hidden spots. After this round of searching, he would be met with another wave of searches every few steps he took. Again, all the hidden spots on his body were searched …
They wanted to see if there was any news … What if the search was not thorough and they missed it?
Those hidden spots were the main targets of the search; they could not be let go!
By the time the steward returned to the Residence of Yang, it was already the fourth hour of the night.
The search along the way had almost cost him half his life.
Even the gaps of his nails had been searched; where else could he not find?
There was also that and that, a broken anus, a body full of wounds – it was not fake at all!
…
In the inner yard of the Residence of Yang.
Yang Botao looked as calm as ever on the surface, but in reality, his heart was in a state of turmoil, and he couldn't calm down in the slightest.
Surrounding him were the Four Seasons Tower's experts who had used various identities to sneak in; there were more than twenty of them.
However, even though there were many people, it was peaceful and calm.
To these people, the matter before them was only a trivial matter. Whether they succeeded or failed, it was insignificant.
However, the significance of the current matter to Yang Botao was very different!
Yang Botao, as a Yutang's man, had been born and raised in Yutang, built a family, built a career, and built a meritorious service … It had not been easy for him to come this far.
It had only been a few days, but Yang Botao had suddenly realized that what he had painstakingly built and fought for his entire life was about to be destroyed. The source of all this was because he had thought that he had done it carefully, a secret that no one would ever know about …
His current feelings were indescribable and indescribable.
Looking at the indifferent faces of the Four Seasons Tower's experts around him, Yang Botao was exasperated. "Of course, you don't have to care. You can just leave this place and return to the martial world, the four corners of the world are your home. Anyway, you've gotten used to such a life."
But me?
Does anyone spare a thought for me?
"Marshal, Madam invites you." A pretty little maid walked over timidly.
Yang Botao coughed and said, "Did Madam say what happened? I still have important matters to attend to. If there's nothing important, we'll talk later! "
For some reason, at this moment, Yang Botao suddenly felt flustered and afraid to face the person who he had slept with for several decades. He was clearly bored to death, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, and he didn't dare to face her.
"Madam seems to have something important to discuss with Marshal. Marshal, please come over as soon as possible," the little maid said.
"Tell Madam that I'll be there soon."
Yang Botao paced back and forth, muttering to himself for a long while. Finally, he sighed and said, "Everyone, please wait here for a moment. I'll be right back."
A green-robed old man who was the leader said with a smile, "Marshal, please do as you please."
Yang Botao nodded and strode away.
…
"Madam is looking for me?" Yang Botao followed her into the bedroom. This was the most private space in the entire Yang Mansion. Usually, the only people who could enter this room were the husband, wife, and a personal maid who was in charge of cleaning and tidying the room.
But now, in this private space, there was a small table in front of the bed. There were four dishes, a pot of wine, two wine cups, and two sets of chopsticks on it.
"Hmm, I don't know why, but I'm suddenly in the mood to have a drink with my husband tonight." Yang Botao's wife was the daughter of an official. Although she was already in her forties, she still had a slim figure and was as beautiful as a flower.
For Yang Botao to have such a wife made others envious. It could be said to be a trivial matter and a topic of conversation.
"Hmm, I didn't expect Madam to have such a refined interest. I'll have a drink with Madam! " Yang Botao laughed heartily and seemed to be in high spirits. He sat down and smelled the aroma of the dishes. His face was intoxicated. "Madam's dishes are getting better and better …"
"Eat more if you think it's good." Madam Yang sat opposite and raised her wine cup. She looked at Yang Botao lovingly. "My husband, please."
"Madam, please."
Yang Botao laughed heartily and drank the wine in his cup.
He looked very cheerful and carefree, much more relaxed than his usual dignified and dignified appearance. However, he had completely concealed all of his negative emotions.
Madam Yang covered her face with her sleeves and drank the wine in her cup slowly. As she drank, her eyes stared at Yang Botao's face without blinking.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Yang Botao smiled. "Do you think I'm old?"
Madam Yang smiled gently. "My husband is in his prime, how can you say that? But I … looked at the moon last night and suddenly remembered that it has been twenty-seven years since I married into the Yang family … "
Yang Botao sighed unnoticeably.
Twenty-seven years …
So it has been that long …
Since ancient times, beauties were like famous generals; they were not allowed to see their hair turn white.
Be it beauties or famous generals, the merciless years were their biggest enemies that they could not fight against!
"This time …" Madam Yang looked out of the window and said slowly, "It doesn't seem to be easy?"
Yang Botao shuddered and said, "Don't worry, Madam. This incident is just a misunderstanding. Once everything is cleared up, everything will be settled and everything will return to normal. You don't have to worry about it."
Madam Yang turned around slowly and looked at Yang Botao's face gently, trying to catch his gaze.
However, Yang Botao's gaze only met hers once before he looked away and raised his wine cup for the second time.
"I know it's true." Madam Yang said, "You and I have slept together for so many years, I know your habits. You will look away the moment you feel guilty."
"Especially when you're facing me!"
Yang Botao remained silent and did not reply for a long time.
"Since the year before last, your temper has been weird and getting worse. You would always go out for a walk alone in the middle of the night …"
Madam Yang said, "I knew then that something was wrong with you."
"Last year, when the Nine Supremes Lords were ambushed, you became more and more abnormal. Initially, I thought you were worried because of the Nine Supremes Lords' unfortunate demise and Yutang's fortune. However, when you personally killed the old dog that you had reared for more than a decade, I vaguely felt that things weren't as simple as they seemed …"
"Later on, you would often wake up in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat. It only showed your abnormality."
Madam Yang said quietly, "I know something is wrong with you but I won't ask if you don't want to talk about it. You're a man, you should have some space for yourself. I believe you won't hide anything from me if you can tell me. "
"Previously, I was still naively fantasizing that you would definitely be able to tide through it on your own and adjust yourself very quickly …" Mistress Yang smiled sadly. "That's why I've been waiting all this while, waiting for you to tide through it and then tell me about this journey of yours."
"I didn't expect that I would wait for this day and that what I've waited for is such a terrifying news. Is my sky going to fall?"
Madam Yang shook her head and sighed. "Husband, why is this so? Tell me, I want to know! "
Yang Botao sat like a statue, motionless and silent for a long time.
Since Madam Yang began to speak, he had not moved. However, his face grew paler and paler.
When he heard the question, Yang Botao shuddered involuntarily.
"Husband is a native of Yutang, the blood of Yutang flows in your veins. Since enlisting in the military, you've been on the battlefield for a long time, you've been through hundreds of battles. All the way until now, you're already second only to one and above tens of thousands of people. You can be said to be at the pinnacle of being a vassal. On the battlefield, you're the marshal of an army. With one command, millions of soldiers can die without regret … "
Madam Yang's voice was calm. "I know how much you've suffered for the Empire of Yutang, how much you've suffered. There are a total of a hundred and thirty-five scars on your body! For so many years, he has done his best to protect the country and fought on the battlefield. He has never fallen behind. My husband is a good man, a good man of steel! A loyal vassal of the Empire of Yutang! I'm absolutely sure of this! "
"But it's also because of this that I'm even more puzzled. Since my husband is such a hero who deserves to leave his name in history, why would he do such a thing?"
Madam Yang's voice had been calm. When she finished her last sentence, she lifted her head slowly, her clear eyes looking at Yang Botao without blinking. She said slowly, "Why would you plot against the Nine Supremes? Tell me! "
When she said the last three words, Madam Yang's tone that had always been flat turned into a high-pitched one.
Cold sweat broke out on Yang Botao's forehead.
"Tell me, two and a half years ago, every time we talked about military affairs, you would always talk about the Nine Supremes. From the beginning, it was those little fellows, but slowly, it became the Nine Supremes Lords. It was all an indication of your great recognition of the Nine Supremes Lords."
"Speaking of the Nine Supremes, you were eloquent and long-winded back then, especially that time when you fell into an ambush and the Nine Supremes appeared to save you, saving the army from defeat. You promised solemnly that as long as you were alive, it would be the time to repay them."
Madam Yang said, "But I don't know when it started, but you stopped talking about the Nine Supremes. You didn't talk about anything else at the dining table either. As time went by, you haven't heard the two words' Nine Supremes' from your mouth for two years."
The muscles on Yang Botao's face twitched and spasmed, sweat dripping from his body. His expression grew paler, almost drained of color.
