Yu Wanying’s expression remained calm, as if she truly had an affair with the Li Manor Lord, much to the surprise of the other Mentor’s widows. How could her sister say such a thing?
The Manor Lord of the Li Manor was their enemy, the one who had killed their husbands and caused them to fall into such a state.
If the State Preceptor were still alive, would these upstarts dare to make a scene? Who would have the audacity to block the gate of Mentor’s Manor?
Several Mentor’s widows were indignant, but they didn’t voice their displeasure; this was not the time to argue with Yu Wanying. They needed to drive away these unwelcome guests first.
Yu Wanying caught their expressions and sighed inwardly. She didn’t want to speak this way either, but she really had no choice.
“My husband, Wanying has wronged you~”
Yu Wanying felt a deep sense of guilt; she actually said such words in front of so many people.
She genuinely hated the Manor Lord of the Li Manor, who, without any reason, killed her husband, the State Preceptor, leading them to their current miserable situation.
After the death of the State Preceptor, Yu Wanying was also worried that the Manor Lord of the Li Manor would extend his Devil’s Palm toward them. At that time, they would have no means to resist and might be taken back to the Li Manor to be played with at will.
But nearly two months had passed, and the Manor Lord of the Li Manor had made no move. While Yu Wanying heaved a sigh of relief, she also worried about pressure from others.
Previously, the presence of the Manor Lord of the Li Manor was a protective charm for the widows of the Mentor, with no one daring to covet them. But now, with their protection fading, faced with the covetous Grandmasters of Myriad Phenomena Realm, Yu Wanying knew she could not resist.
After much deliberation, Yu Wanying decided to use her enemy, the Manor Lord of the Li Manor, to her advantage, pretending to have an affair with him. Only by doing this could she preserve Mentor’s Manor, the other widows of the Mentor, and her daughter.
Though there were reasons for her actions, Yu Wanying still felt an unbearable pain. She struggled for a long time but finally decided to go through with it, only to betray her deceased husband.
Sure enough, upon hearing Yu Wanying’s words, Lu Renyi felt wary. Even though he knew Yu Wanying was bluffing, he didn’t dare to stay any longer. His purpose today had only been to probe; failure wasn’t important.
If Yu Wanying truly had secretly formed a relationship with the Manor Lord of the Li Manor, then he would become cannon fodder.
“Madam Yu, a lie will eventually be exposed,” he said. “You better watch yourself.”
After giving Yu Wanying a long look, Lu Renyi hurried away with his people.
“Let’s go back and talk about it.”
After glancing at the younger sisters beside her, Yu Wanying sighed and left first.
The other widows exchanged glances and followed her. They wanted to know what Yu Wanying was really thinking. Had she really had a secret affair with the Manor Lord of the Li Manor?
They were all too aware of the current predicament of Mentor’s Manor, including their own peril. They could not defend the Mentor’s Manor by themselves; they couldn’t even get past the official barrier of Da Qian. Perhaps the only way was to seek the shelter of a powerful figure. With differing thoughts, the other widows followed Yu Wanying closely.
Back in the main hall, Yu Wanying talked with her younger sisters, then dragged her weary body back to her sleeping chamber. As she was about to bathe and rest, her daughter Mu Wanyan burst in.
“Mother, do you really have that kind of relationship with Li Feiyu?” Mu Wanyan’s expression was ugly as she looked at the mature beauty before her, sadness in her eyes.
She couldn’t believe it was true; Li Feiyu was the man who had killed her father. Why would her mother do such a thing?
Li Feiyu was the one who had killed her father!
Yu Wanying looked at her daughter, her heart aching tremendously. She had wanted to keep the secret, but seeing her daughter’s grief-stricken eyes, she ended up telling the truth.
“Wanyan, it’s not what you think…”
As Mu Wanyan listened, tears streamed down her face. She threw herself into Yu Wanying’s arms and sobbed, “Mother~”
Her mother had made such a great sacrifice for her, for Mentor’s Manor—willing to feed herself to the demon to secure her daughter’s safety—yet she had thought so lowly of her own mother. Mu Wanyan felt inconsolable.
Mother and daughter embraced, each agonizing over their uncertain futures. Without the State Preceptor, where were they to go?DiisCoover 𝒖pdated novels on n(o)v./e/lbin(.)co𝒎
With them, the Mentor’s widows, being targeted by Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, how could they extricate themselves and maintain their purity?
After a long while, Mu Wanyan dried her tears and pursed her lips, resolvedly saying, “Mother, let me do it. If I become Li Feiyu’s concubine, those evil men won’t dare covet you all anymore.”
As Mu Wanyan spoke, her heart felt exceedingly heavy. Li Feiyu had killed her father, yet she was considering offering to become his concubine; how humiliating was that?
“No way!” Yu Wanying felt as if her heart was being cut out, rejecting the idea immediately.
She could feed herself to the demon, but she would never allow her daughter to do the same. Her daughter hadn’t even experienced love yet; she couldn’t let her fall prey to that old devil Li Feiyu.
Seeing Yu Wanying disagree, Mu Wanyan sighed and said painfully, “But you know, Mother, Li Feiyu doesn’t fancy any of you; only by offering myself is there a chance.”
Yu Wanying trembled. She knew it all too well.
If Li Feiyu had desired them, he would have taken them, the widows of the State Preceptor, long ago, rather than just taking Li Na.
Li Feiyu’s inaction for so long had made his stance clear; otherwise, those coveting them would not have dared to make a move.
Yet Yu Wanying could not bear the thought of her daughter jumping into that fiery pit. Her daughter was at the peak of her beauty; if she became Li Feiyu’s concubine, she would never escape his clutches.
Once again, tears ran down Mu Wanyan’s face, as her decision caused her great distress. How could she bear the thought of becoming the concubine to the man who had murdered her father?
But if she didn’t, both her mother and the others in Mentor’s Manor would fall into the hands of powerful men, and her own fate wouldn’t be much better.
