The woman no longer looked dispirited. Her facial features contorted in agitation.
"Yang Jing Rong, how can you slander Si 'er's bloodline?" The woman was so agitated that her chest rose and fell violently. Her hands trembled uncontrollably. She said, "His father and I went through a formal wedding ceremony. He's not the bloodline of a benefactor, nor is he the son of a prostitute. I was young and ignorant in the past. That's why I made such a huge mistake. Now that I want to turn over a new leaf, why are you still so aggressive? "
She was only six or seven years old then. How would she know what a prostitute meant?
She only knew that she could eat and drink in a brothel. Wasn't this life much better than being penniless in the past?
Yang Si said that she betrayed her sister, but she really didn't know that there would be such serious consequences. She only wanted her sister to come back and enjoy life with her.
The woman couldn't help but find excuses to lessen her guilt.
"Did I stop you when you wanted to turn over a new leaf?" Yang Si snorted coldly and looked at her coldly. "You shouldn't have bitten people for no reason. Tell me, why should I risk my own safety to save you and your son? Do you really think this is so simple? That it'll be over just like how you served your benefactor in the past? How dare you get involved in a battle between dukes? "
The woman lowered her head and trembled in fear. Her skinny body trembled like a sieve, making one feel pity for her.
Jiang Nongqin pulled out a dagger from her waist and blew on the blade, making the shiny blade even colder.
"Military Advisor Yang, this woman is quite an eyesore. I'm afraid she'll cause trouble. Why don't …"
She turned her wrist and twirled the dagger in her hand. It was so nimble that it seemed to be a part of her body. It sent chills down one's spine.
The woman was so frightened that her face turned pale. Her skinny body leaned back.
"You, you can't kill me …"
"She lost her sense of propriety after being frightened. Why would Xu Bei and the rest think that she can seduce you?" Jiang Nongqin sneered. "Honey trap? Why doesn't she look in the mirror and have an idea? It's not enough to just have a face and a body. She has to be intelligent and fearless in the face of danger. "
Yang Si said, "You can't ask for too much. If she could do what you said, she wouldn't have ended up like this."
Jiang Nongqin asked, "How do you plan to deal with her?"
Killing people was definitely out of the question. Firstly, Yang Si might not be willing to do it. Secondly, killing people would be suspected of having a guilty conscience, which would instead give the enemy something to use against him.
Yang Si spoke as the woman waited anxiously.
"Let her fend for herself. I don't want to dirty my hands."
Once Xu Bei found out that the woman had lied to him, he would not show any mercy.
The woman became more and more flustered. Ignoring her fear, she crawled on the ground, trying to grab the corner of Yang Si's clothes.
"Yang Jingrong, please, help me one last time. Give us a way out —"
Before her fingers could even touch it, a foot kicked her shoulder, causing her to roll back twice.
"There's no turning back, but this is your choice. Kneel and walk on."
Jiang Nongqin retracted her leg and looked at the woman calmly.
The woman looked at Yang Si's heartless back with tears in her eyes. Sorrow welled up in her heart and she sobbed loudly.
After watching for a while, Jiang Nongqin felt bored.
When the woman saw her high and mighty appearance, her heart was filled with unbearable anger.
"Do you think you can get what you want just because I can't have it?" The woman covered her shoulder and gritted her teeth. "It's just a mere tongfang —"
Clang —
Yang Si's legs went limp. If he had not reacted in time and grabbed the door frame, he might have fallen out of the corridor.
What the hell?
Yang Si looked as if he had seen a ghost.
The old man was old and could not be so startled.
The woman's vision was limited. Seeing that Jiang Nongqin's hair was unmarried but not pure, she thought that she was Yang Si's maidservant. At most, she was like a tongfang. She did the work of a servant and had to serve the male master of the house at night. However, she could not be considered a proper master.
Jiang Nongqin said with a faint smile, "You said that you can't get what you want. Could it be that you want to cling onto the military counselor and become his legal wife?"
The woman's thoughts were exposed. She blushed and lowered her head to avoid his sharp gaze.
She had led a tough life in the first half of her life. Now that there was a chance for her to build a relationship with Yang Si, she would definitely not let it go.
Even if she could not become his legal wife, it would be good to be a concubine in his residence. In this way, she and her son would have hope for the rest of their lives.
In her heart, her two sisters had already forgiven her for the mistakes she made when she was young. In that case, Yang Si was the murderer who killed her two sisters.
He had the obligation to take care of her on behalf of his sisters. Those were two living lives!
This was what he owed!
Little did she know that the lives in Yang Si's hands were in the tens of thousands.
He was willing to bicker with her for the sake of his two deceased old friends. Otherwise, he would have beaten her to death long ago.
The woman straightened her neck and said, "So what if I am?"
"Nothing, he's too old." Jiang Nongqin said, "He's too old to be a boy toy in the backyard."
Yang Si was speechless.
If he had not held onto the door frame, he might have fallen to the ground.
Jiang Nongqin turned to look at Yang Si. "Military Counselor Yang is already over 30 years old. He's indeed old. Am I right?"
"No, you're right."
He had been stabbed several times, but he had to grit his teeth and admit that the other party had stabbed him well.
Yes, yes, yes. Whatever the little fairy said was right!
Yang Si came to the banquet out of curiosity. He did not expect to be fed a mouthful of sh * t. He even had a bellyful of anger.
"Let's go home."
Zhao Shao soon received the news and hurriedly brought people over.
"Could it be that the beauty arranged is not to your liking, sir?"
Yang Si said, "Not only is it not to my liking, but it's also extremely nauseating."
Zhao Shao secretly observed his expression and was puzzled. Yang Si's reaction was very different from what he had imagined.
"The servants did not treat you well and neglected you. I'll go and give them a warning now." Zhao Shao persuaded earnestly, "It's getting late now. Why don't you stay for the night so that I can be a good host … I wonder how that beauty offended you."
Yang Si said, "That person tried to claim friendship as soon as she came up. Her motive is suspicious. Si has seen her before. She used to be a flower lady in Jiangding County. There were countless people around her. General Zhao gave her away. Is he trying to befriend her or is he trying to pick a fight? Si wanted to ask General Zhao what he meant by this. This woman even said with certainty that she had Si's flesh and blood. Ha, what a joke! She's just a prostitute. Who knows whose flesh and blood is in her belly? What's more, there's nothing between Si and her. General Zhao comes from a prestigious family. Your family is upright and upright. You definitely won't let Si be slandered by such a woman, right? "
Zhao Shao looked embarrassed and said, "That woman took the initiative to come to me to make a statement. I saw that she had irrefutable evidence and believed her words. I had the intention of reuniting Mr. Yang with the mother and son. Who would have thought that my good intentions would cause trouble … "
Yang Si sneered, "If General Zhao doesn't believe me, you can check Si 'er's birth date and the time when Si left Jiangding County. There's a gap of three to five months. Prostitutes are best at sweet words and sowing discord. General Zhao actually believed them? "
Zhao Shao's face turned green and white.
"Mr. Yang is right. The words of prostitutes cannot be trusted. After all, dirty blood flows in their bones. No matter what, it's not something that can be put on the table. Don't be angry, Mr. Yang. I'll send people to deal with the mother and son right now to restore Mr. Yang's reputation. "
