Rebirth Of The Female Antagonist: - 183 Shameful!

“Furen, this courtyard belongs to Young Master Chen.”

One of the servants went forward and whispered but still, many Furens were able to hear him.

Ling Furen’s face changed. She could not help but worry about her daughter’s reputation. Regardless whether what she said was true or not, once news spread out that her daughter mistakenly entered a man’s courtyard, it would destroy her innocence. Looking at the silent courtyard, Ling Furen’s heart ached.

“Are you sure that this is the place?” Baili Furen turned her head and stared at Jing’er. Jing’er nodded. Her eyes were full of worry.

The truth was, Jing’er left the banquet because she did not want to compete and become Baili Furen’s daughter in law. She had someone she liked, and that was Baili Chen. Although Baili Chen was rumored to be a lecherous man and had already countless of concubines, Jing’er’s mindset was the same with other ancient women. Sharing husbands were the norms and she would not mind sharing Baili Chen with other women. Besides, it was normal for an outstanding man like Baili Chen to have beauties in his arms. Even Jing’er was willing to be one of those women.

Unfortunately, when she entered the courtyard, she heard screams coming from the main room. Due to fear, she immediately ran away until she luckily saw the group of females walking towards the lotus pond. Calling for help, Jing’er thought that as long as Baili Chen knew that it was her who asked someone to save him, he would pay attention to her.

“This lady clearly heard it… This lady was only passing in this courtyard when suddenly, someone was screaming loudly inside, asking for help. This lady immediately ran away to call for help.”

Baili Furen’s face was calm, no one was able to guess what was on her mind.

“Go and take a look!”

Since the courtyard belonged to a man, Baili Furen and the rest did not enter. She only sent a couple of servants to check out the situation inside.

Few moments later..

“Young Master Chen!!! Hurry call a physician!!!”

Hearing the servant’s cry, all the females outside the courtyard paled.

‘Did Young Master Chen really encounter an assassin?’

“Great Buddha! Young Master Chen’s butthole is bleeding!!”

No one knew who among the servants spoke those words inside the courtyard. Baili Furen’s face turned purple and then red, alternately switching colors due to shame. She turned her head and saw the Furens’ and their daughters’ expressions. She could not help but grit her teeth inside.

This was not included in her plan.

Few nights ago, someone sent a unanimous letter once again. At first, she did not want to trust the letter but the momo[1] who had served her since she was young had convinced her to try it out.

The letter contained a plan on how to tarnish Baili Chen’s name without dirtying their family’s reputation.

Her plan was simple. It was to make Baili Chen unable to marry a legal wife from an outstanding noble family.

Baili Furen has prepared a lowly woman. She would then stage a scene where they would pass by at Baili Chen’s courtyard and witness him torturing the woman to disgust the Furens and their daughters. She would then order Baili Chen to take the woman as his concubine in order to save the reputation of the Baili family.

But… what had gone wrong?

Where was the woman?

Why was Baili Chen in the verge of death?

What happened?

Everything was different!!

Because someone screamed that Baili Chen’s butthole had been damaged, Baili Furen could no longer hide everything unless she wanted to destroy their family’s reputation. She had to save their face at all cost! Thus, Baili Furen had to make sure to give an ample of explanation to avoid such gossip.

When a servant ran outside, Baili Furen obstructed his path.

“What had happened? Did Young Master Chen encounter an assassin that was why he was bleeding?”

The servant shook his head.

“R-reporting to Furen… Y-Young Master.. Young Master Chen did not… did not encounter an assassin… This servant… This servant saw Young Master Chen and thinks that Young Master Chen has been m-molested and was tortured painfully.”

‘”NONESENSE!!!! How dare you speak such words?!” Baili Furen screamed. She suddenly regretted asking the servant. She did not expect that the servant was stupid enough to blurt those nasty words.

The servant realized his mistake but it was already too late. Such a sensitive information, but he said everything in front of the guest. It would not only tarnish Baili Chen’s reputation, it would also bring Baili family’s face to shame!

“T-This servant .. This servant is—”

“Drag him away.”

Baili Furen waved her hand and ordered the servant to be dragged away.

“Go and call a physician. Your Young Master Chen has been wounded by an assassin.”

Two male servants nodded and left in order to call the physician while the other one went away to alert the guards.

Baili Furen turned her head and looked at the female guests. Acting like she did not hear the servant’s previous words, Baili Furen smiled apologetically towards them.

Her ashen face was full of worry but she managed to create a smile.

“This Furen would like to apologize. This Furen would like to ask all of you to leave. My brother in law has almost assassinated. The injury must have been very grave that it even confused the servants. Only a physician could tell the truth but since it was already late, it was not proper for young ladies to remain here. This Furen will invite all of you once again in the near future.” Baili Furen’s hidden words were very clear and the Furens knew that it was pointless to remain there thus, after giving some words of encouragement, they left one by one.

Baili Furen’s eyes sharpened when the last guest left.

“Bring me inside!”

———

Only a day passed and another rumor started circulating around the capital. The young and talented man, Baili Chen was molested in his own courtyard. No one knew who released the rumor but it had been said that the main culprit was the man who was terrorizing men in the past few days. If the rumor was true, it would only mean that Baili Chen was the only one who successfully escaped being killed after being tortured to death.

Those who hated Baili Chen could not help but laugh out loud. A man with great talent was subjected like a whore. Others could not help but mock the Baili residence because of their weak security.

Such shame!
