Catching Red-Handed, Turtle in the Net (2)

His dignified and virtuous wife, as if remembering her bashfulness during their wedding night, starting from that night, every time afterwards, when they performed the rites of Duke Zhou, she would always be exceptionally reserved. He sometimes wanted to do a bit of something, but feared that he would be rude to her. Over time, he actually increasingly enjoyed the tender and warm interactions outside of lust. But now, she was this unbearably debauch!
And his two sons, even if not that outstanding, he was still relatively satisfied with them. They were steady and prudent, gentle and scholarly with bearing. If mishap hadn’t happened at home, once he retires, even if they can’t reach the highest official position, presumably can still be a happy and harmonious family. But now, they were just like two beasts………….
He’d thought that their family was harmonious, he’d thought that no one could compare with his wife and children, yet in the end, this family was a depraved nest. His wife, his sons, were all animals! “Pfff………” Ruan Rui Zhong could no longer endure, directly spraying a mouthful of blood.
Speaking of which, this scene just happened to be caught by one of his sons, his pupils rapidly shrinking, instantly withering, like as if scared silly, “Father……..” A voice as if murmuring.
His brother across from him, upon hearing this, shivered, “What nonsense are you saying?”
And for Ruan Old Madam, that was possessing martial art skills, but because she very much trusted the people by her side, in addition to sinking into an ocean of lust, at this time, she also only hazily sensed the abnormality outside. And upon hearing the word ‘father’, she instantly returned to her senses. Just as she was about to get up, the person behind her suddenly pulled out and rushed out, “Father——–” Followed by fear.
No matter how much one has sunken into depravity, this while, still ‘woke up’.
Ruan Old Madam immediately sat up, her expression chillingly cold, and the man next to her, his face was deathly pale from fright. Lifting open the curtains, Ruan Rui Zhong, who had vomited blood, slowly collapsed, but those eyes were ingrained with pain and blood-thirsty hatred. ————–He was a scholar, having the character and bearing of a scholar. His ability to handle work was strong, and under normal circumstances, conducted himself in an amicable manner. Probably in his entire life, he has never once showed this expression at this very moment before.
To the extent that the man who ran out just with his inner garments draped over his shoulders all hesitated for a moment, not daring to go forward.
“Old master, old master………..” That servant boy that was in charge of watching that little servant girl somehow entered, and seeing this situation, rushed over in a scramble, quickly catching the nearly collapsing Ruan Rui Zhong. “Old master, old master………..” While he was pressing his philtrum, he secretly gave Ruan Rui Zhong a medicine pill under the cover.
Ruan Rui Zhong’s two eyes opened, and even fixedly stared at the pavilion. That appearance was just like having died with grievance, unable to close one’s eyes.
That son of his directly tremble in fear, that ugly thing on his lower half drooped. With such a shameful appearance, where did he still have that modest gentleman manner in the slightest. Getting stared at like that, his legs went limp, and he kneeled onto the ground with a thud.
And as for the other two people inside the pavilion, they finally somewhat tidied their clothes and came out. Compared with the two men, who were trembling because of fear, Ruan Old Madam was much more composed. Although her brows were knit, her point of concern wasn’t on the matter of getting caught in the act by her husband. She apathetically looked to Ruan Rui Zhong, “How did you come in?” This many years already, and although she has never encountered a situation where this old thing came back when he shouldn’t have come back, even if encountered, she would still be able to know first thing, and able to have everything cleaned up in the quickest speed, certain to not let him detect the slightest clue.
Reasonably speaking, today should also be the same, but not only did Ruan Rui Zhong intrude, she didn’t even received the slightest news. Precisely because she was absolutely reassured, she thus relaxed her guard, to the extent that she didn’t even know how long has Ruan Rui Zhong been here.
Ruan Rui Zhong’s eyes widened some more. His finger tremblingly pointing to his second wife, “You, you, you…………” Getting caught by him in such an unsightly act, there wasn’t fear, there wasn’t guilt, and further don’t need to mention remorse. Judging from that meaning, it was like as if it was simply impossible for him to have intruded. The heaving in his chest was becoming increasingly obvious.
“Old Master, old master, you can’t let anything happen to yourself, if you were to meet with misfortune, won’t it just benefit these adulterous animals? This lowly woman precisely wants to anger you to death. If you die, then no one will know their ugly affair. The Ruan family in the future will even be completely controlled in her hands. That’s why, you definitely need to stand firm, definitely need to stand firm, old master………….”
Ruan Old Madam had her gaze placed on that servant boy. Even if this servant boy wasn’t her person, on normal days, he would still give her some information regarding Ruan Rui Zhong when he was out. He just had the guts of an ordinary person, so encountering this kind of situation, he should avoid like the plague, yet now said this kind of thing? To say he didn’t have a problem would be strange.

Ruan Old Madam wasn’t in a hurry to punish him, instead looking around in all directions, not seeing anything. But her people that were originally suppose to be guarding outside, not a single one appeared. Ruan Old Madam suddenly smiled. She was very clear, she’d fallen into the enemy’s trap. This time, it was no longer doing something to her daughter, but directly acting against her. Moreover, it was just this ruthless and resolute. The numerous people she cultivated, how many were left, she didn’t know. That’s right, in her eyes, getting caught by Ruan Rui Zhong actually wasn’t anything. If he didn’t know her true identity, there were ways to deal with, and if he knew, there were also ways for that too. Relying on Ruan Rui Zhong, although was very beneficial, it was still better to avoid later troubles, else her plans will suffer setbacks. If he were to find out, at worst it was just killing him. However, the situation right now was, unless he died on his own, otherwise, she won’t be able to kill him.
The servant boy’s words perhaps had an effect. Ruan Rui Zhong slowly regained his breath, and under the servant boy’s support, slowly stood up, walking forward step by step. Towards this woman, how much he once cared about, how much he cherished, was just how much he painfully hated right now. Swinging his hand, he fanned her a slap, “Slut, I was that good to you, that good………….”
Ruan Old Madam’s head just turned a little. The Ruan Rui Zhong right now more or less was just at half a life, so how great of a strength could he have. For her, this simply neither hurt nor itched. “When marrying you, you were already at old age, yet I was still beautiful and young. You being good to me, isn’t that only given? Your body is neither strong nor sturdy, and every time before getting into the mood, you would already be done. Giving you a green hat to wear, isn’t that very normal? You have many sons, so don’t really need to look outside. And now, your sons are about to be unfit, so your grandsons can take their place. They’re young enough, and there’s also many of them………”
‘Pah………’ Ruan Rui Zhong angrily slapped her again, “You loose woman, loose woman……….”
Ruan Old Madam sneered. Previously, she already was ‘refraining from shooting the rat in fear of breaking the vase’, and now she has thoroughly become the turtle in the net, so what was there for her to care about now. If the person hiding in the dark really did find out about all her inside information, then she almost can be certain, nine times out of ten, she won’t die. Her value alive was far greater than death. That’s why, this while, she was secure in the knowledge that she has backing.
However, when the other party didn’t move, it was just that, but once they acted, it was just like roaring thunder. This level of means really made one fond of. Also, clearly everything was all within his grasp, yet he didn’t let her detect in the slightest. This capability also truly made one admire.

Her confidence… disgusts me.
Thanks for the chapter! π
I wonder if Ruan Old Lady is over estimating herself about her value being more alive than dead. Time has shown that LHY’s thoughts do not conform to the normal and there are some things/people he could not be bothered with.
yes hahaha unfortunately for her, she is part of the one out of then times she would die, since her enemy is LHY and he doesnt give a shit about her value
3 points says that this news that broadens the world views will end up spread throughout the imperial residence and the capital.
π€It looks like LHY was aware of the timing of Ruan old madam’s liaisons and triggered RRZ’s collapse so that RRZ would go home in time to catch this menage playing out.
Me: 20% oh, that poor old man!πͺ 80% oh, he’s just so bad!!!!!ππππππ
My blood is boiling anticipating the drama that would unfold next…this was something LHY did in passing, but mmm, very entertaining. Thumbs up to the future emperor!
