No taboos in the world

Chapter 105: Murong invites Qiao Feng, who is expelled

There is an essential difference between a wife and a concubine.

One is to marry, the other is to take her as a bride.

Getting married requires a formal marriage, and the process is complicated and none of them can be missed.

To take a concubine, to put it bluntly, just means giving enough money.

Of course, whether the concubine can be taken in the end depends on whether the wife agrees. If the man is forced to take a concubine, the wife can report him to the authorities and be punished.

Whether it was the pre-order process or the status, the two were completely different. Even the future children were divided into legitimate and illegitimate.

There is a saying among the people that "It is better to be the wife of a poor man than the concubine of a rich man."

Murong Fu has not married yet, so he doesn't need to ask his wife, and he doesn't have to wait until he gets married to take a concubine.

but.

Wang Yuyan, the young master of Mantuo Villa, a cousin of the Murong family, and the most beautiful woman in the world.

No matter from which angle you look at it, making her a concubine is an irrefutable insult.

"Nonsense!"

Deng Baichuan immediately glared at Bao Bu Tong and said, "Sir, Miss Wang is from a well-known wealthy family in Jiangnan. How can you let Miss Wang be willing to be a concubine? Besides, you and the Wang family are cousins. If it gets out, it may damage your reputation. Besides, you know Mrs. Wang's temper. How could she agree to this? If you come to my house and say this, let alone try to get the Huzhou gourd, I'm afraid the two families will cut off contact in the future!"

His voice was so loud that half the room shook.

Murong Fu also came back to his senses, and after realizing it, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Brother Bao, what Brother Deng said is right. If we really do this, we will end up losing more than we gain."

However, Bao Bu Tong was not discouraged, and the smile on his face never diminished.

"No, no! What Brother Deng said is indeed reasonable, but don't we have corresponding strategies? Sir, you just need to promise Miss Wang that you will make her your principal wife after you have accomplished your great cause in the future. What you are doing now is just a temporary measure. Miss Wang admires you very much and will not hinder your great cause. How can a mere status compare to living together with you and growing old together in the future?"

Deng Baichuan's eyes were shocked, as if he couldn't believe that Bao Bu Tong would actually say such a thing.

But in fact, according to his understanding of Wang Yuyan, this strategy is indeed feasible. However, whether she can become the principal wife in the end depends on Murong Fu's conscience, which even Deng Baichuan cannot guarantee; secondly, it also depends on whether the principal wife is a fool, but is this possible?
Bao Bu Tong continued, "There are indeed some problems with Madam Wang, unless..."

"Bao Bu Tong! Be careful with your words!" Deng Baichuan interrupted immediately and bowed his head again: "Sir, I think this plan will not work. It will not only damage your good reputation in the martial arts world for many years, but also hurt Miss Wang who has always cared about you. I suggest that you give up this plan and find another way."

Deng Baichuan is the eldest brother after all. After being scolded, Bao Bu Tong pursed his lips and said no more. Gong Ye Qian saw the desire in Murong Fu's eyes, sighed softly in his heart, and said nothing.

After a moment of silence, Murong Fu smiled and said, "Well, we are all family, why bother arguing? Let's talk about Brother Hong!"

Gong Yeqian, who was in charge of this matter, said, "Sir, after Hong Chen moved into the villa on the east bank of Taihu Lake, he sent Miss Azhu away the next day. I sent people to look for her and found out that Miss Azhu had gone to the Beggars' Sect headquarters in Luoyang and had been in and out with the Beggars' Sect leader Qiao Feng."

Murong Fu was not surprised, but smiled and said: "Drunk Hongchen is escorted and delivered by the Beggars' Sect. Hongchen and Qiao Feng must have a relationship, so he is really willing to let him go. However, this is also a good thing for us."

Bao Bu Tong nodded: "Yes, the two girls followed Qiao Feng and Hong Chen respectively, so they must have learned a lot of secrets."

Murong Fu asked again: "Where is A-Bi?"

Gong Yeqian: "Abi is with Hong Chen, but Hong Chen rarely goes out, so I don't know what Abi's situation is now."

Murong Fu paused, then suddenly smiled: "Do you think they have already..."

"I don't know and dare not speculate." Gongye Qian shook his head. Deng Baichuan sighed inwardly, while Feng Boye just pricked up his ears and listened to it as gossip.

Only Bao Bu Tong smiled in a rather obscene way: "Hehe, I think the young master is right. He has probably been enjoying himself for a long time these days, right?"

Murong Fu laughed triumphantly, and then ordered: "Red Dust Villa should have people on guard strictly, and must pay close attention to the status of Hong Chen and A Bi. When they become close over time, I will take action!"

"Yes!"

"Okay, you all go down and rest."

The four retreated.

Murong Fu sat still.

After a while, Bao Bu Tong came back.

As soon as he bent down, Murong Fu immediately stood up and walked over to him quickly, holding up his arm, grabbing his wrist eagerly, and asked, "Brother Bao San, do you really think this plan is feasible?"

"That's right! Sir, you just need to make it a done deal. Madam Wang will have to agree no matter how reluctant she is. As for Miss Wang, I cannot say much, but I'm sure you will be able to get her easily."

Looking at Bao Bu Tong's ugly face with a happy smile, Murong Fu felt for the first time that he was so kind.

However, as a young master, you still have to put on a good show.

He frowned and said, "This is unreasonable!"

Bao Bu Tong immediately put away his smile and said seriously, "Sir, those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters! Besides, Miss Wang admires you wholeheartedly. Since you have feelings for her, why should you be bound by etiquette?"

"This……"

"Sir, you should still remember that Hong Chen?"

"Naturally remember."

Bao Bu Tong sneered twice: "He has been to Mantuo Villa before, and now he lives in the villa that the young master gave him. You also know that Miss Wang is the best in the world. Since he wants Ah Zhu and Ah Bi, how can he not have feelings for Miss Wang?"

Murong Fu was shocked.

"Sir, I am making a false statement: if that person suddenly comes to Mantuo Villa to propose marriage, Madam Wang will already have the income from the Huzhou gourds, and she may not refuse to agree if she wants more. Can you really bear it then?"

"Enough!" Murong Fu growled, and the hand holding the fan began to exert force involuntarily.

After a while, his brows relaxed and he said softly, "Brother Bao San, you should go back and rest first. I will write a letter to my cousin later to invite her to go out for an outing. You can deliver the letter for me."

Bao Bu Tong was overjoyed: "I obey your command!"
-
Mantu Villa.

When Abi arrived on the island, Wang Yuyan came to greet her in person.

"Sister, you are standing by the lake. When the wind blows, your clothes flutter and your hair flies. You really look like a fairy descended from heaven."

Ah Bi's words made Wang Yuyan's face turn red. She pinched Ah Bi's face shyly and said, "Girl, why are you teasing me like this today?"

"Hey, I'm in a good mood! Besides, what I said is true. My sister is as beautiful as a fairy."

Wang Yuyan stamped her feet lightly and said angrily, "You still say that."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Ah Bi's eyes turned, and she was suddenly startled: "Sister, why have the flowers in Mantuo Villa... changed?"

Wang Yuyan took her hand and said, "I don't know either. Half a month ago, two days after you left, my mother suddenly ordered people to uproot all the camellias in the villa, and bought all kinds of ready-made flowers to plant, and sent people to watch over them day and night. Those that couldn't be planted or the flowers were wilted were immediately replaced at any cost. I asked her why she suddenly changed her mind, but she just said that she wanted to change the scenery of Mantuo Villa. I think it's not bad now, with a hundred flowers blooming in all colors. What do you think?"

Ah Bi walked and looked, nodding slowly: "It does look better now than before. The young master said something before."

"Oh?" Wang Yuyan's mind suddenly flashed with the red figure, and she asked curiously, "What did he say?"

Without having to recall, Ah Bi said, "One flower blooming alone does not make spring, but a hundred flowers blooming together make the whole garden full of spring."

Wang Yuyan pondered for a moment and smiled, "Mr. Hong is right. Look, there are magnolias, roses, peonies, crabapples, crape myrtles, hydrangeas... I can't even count them all. Their flowers, colors, and fragrances are all different. I've read a lot of books recently to understand them, but there are still many that I can't recognize or understand."

"Hehe, sister, you are already amazing! You have the best memory since you were a child. I think it won't be long before you can talk about all the flowers here."

"Oh, sister, please don't laugh at me. You haven't come to see me for half a month. My greatest pleasure every day on the island is reading." "Don't blame me, sister. I'm with the young master. There are many things to arrange in the Red Dust Villa. I just got away these few days. But the young master is a very good person. He said that I can arrange my own time in the future, and I can come to see you at any time, and I don't have to stay with him all the time."

"Mr. Hong is so relaxed?"

"Of course. The young master is very nice. He even taught me martial arts in person, and he is really considerate..."

The two charming girls walked and talked, gradually going farther and farther away.

However, he did not notice that behind the dense flowers on the roadside stood a beautiful woman watering the flowers and pruning them.

She looked at the delicate flower in front of her, her movements gentle, as if she heard nothing.

But if you get closer, you can see her lips moving slightly, whispering to herself: "A single flower does not make spring, a hundred flowers in full bloom make the whole garden full of spring... Sir, you really still care, but now there is no camellia to be found on the island, why don't you come? At least ask a question."

After a pause, she pursed her plump red lips slightly, "You are so considerate to the maids, but you let me throw myself against the door that day, not even afraid of getting hurt. If you were only in your early twenties, I would not dare to fantasize about it, but I am about the same age as you. Humph, it's all the fault of those two little bitches. If it weren't for them, that night, the young master and I..."

When she said this, her face suddenly turned red as if it was on fire, and in a moment it turned red all the way to the tips of her ears, much brighter than the surrounding flowers.

The flowers in front of her eyes seemed to be gradually replaced by a face as beautiful as a jade. The flowers and tender leaves swaying in the wind seemed to have become his crimson clothes. The floral fragrance in her nose immediately turned into an indescribable breath that made her feel soft all over.

The watering pot tilted slightly in distraction...

In an instant, my hands were wet.
-
When A-Bi and Wang Yuyan were chatting happily, the maid suddenly brought them a letter.

When Wang Yuyan opened it, she was happy at first, but then she couldn't help but feel confused.

"Sister, what's wrong?" A-Bi asked.

Wang Yuyan smiled, but her eyebrows were still slightly furrowed. She said, "My cousin asked me to go outing tomorrow."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Of course, A-Bi also knew Wang Yuyan's intentions. Whenever the two met in the past, she would always ask A-Zhu and A-Bi about Murong Fu.

"But... my cousin asked me to go to Phoenix Mountain in Hangzhou. Isn't this... a bit far?" Wang Yuyan was confused but afraid of misunderstanding, so her tone sounded weak.

A-Bi was slightly startled when she heard this, and then looked at the letter in her hand: "Can I see it?"

"Ah."

After taking the letter and reading it carefully, A-Bi's brows gradually frowned.

Wang Yuyan asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"

A-Bi immediately shook her head, "Nothing. But Hangzhou is still quite far away, and I'm afraid it's impossible to go back and forth. If you want to go, it's best to tell Madam and ask her to send a maid to follow you. She can serve you and also make Madam feel at ease."

Wang Yuyan took back the letter and looked at it again. She bit her lips unconsciously with her pearly teeth, feeling hesitant.

Seeing this, A Bi smiled and said, "Sister, you should talk to the Madam first. She may not agree. Otherwise, you can discuss with Mr. Murong and find a place nearby. Wouldn't it be better?"

"Yeah, that's right, I'll write back to my cousin first!"

"Then you go ahead and do your work, sister. It's almost time for me to go back."

"Ah? So fast?"

"I've been here for several hours, and I still have to cook for you."

"You are so kind to Mr. Hong."

"Hehe, he gave me the money! Okay, I'm leaving now. Don't forget to tell my wife!"

“…I will do this.”

A-Bi returned to Hongchen Villa and went into the kitchen to busy herself, but she was still thinking about the letter.

For some reason, she always felt that the wording and tone of the letter seemed different from the Mr. Murong she knew.

As Wang Yuyan and she were both women, and they were sisters, she could not easily let go of this letter. However, no matter how much she thought about it, she still felt that Mr. Murong might have some bad intentions...

After cooking, she went out and looked at the man on the rooftop who was drinking with his head raised. The huge full moon in the background made his silhouette particularly clear, and his demeanor even more elegant.

"Sir, it's time to eat."

"it is good."

At the table, A Bi thought that the young master was so smart and perceptive that he would definitely notice that she was distracted and ask about it. However, she didn't expect that he didn't say a word until the meal was almost over. She was afraid that he was a little drunk after drinking all day.

So she had no choice but to speak up aggrievedly: "Sir, I have something to tell you."

Hong Chen swallowed the food, wiped his mouth, and smiled: "I thought you could hold it until tomorrow."

A-Bi was stunned for a moment, then became embarrassed and annoyed: "Young Master, you saw it and didn't tell me, you are so annoying!"

"Hahahaha, I didn't say it on purpose, wasn't I just waiting to see you act like a spoiled child?" Hong Chen supported his chin and looked at her shy appearance, feeling that it could fill him up more than the delicacies on the table.

Ah Bi rolled her eyes at him, not caring about the young master's embarrassing look, and quickly told him what happened during the day. Finally, she also asked hesitantly: "Young master, tell me, am I overthinking, or is Mr. Murong really..."

After all, she used to be his maid, and she had never seen Murong Fu behave like this before. The collision between rationality and emotion is always difficult to distinguish.

Hong Chen's eyebrows seemed to be frowned, his face seemed to be smiling, he took out the gourd, took another sip, and then said: "Maybe there is really something wrong."

"It's over. If you, Master, think so, then this must be true." Ah Bi turned her head to look outside the door. Seeing that it was getting late, she immediately said, "I will get up early tomorrow and make sure to explain this to my sister. Otherwise, she may not tell my wife!"

"Oh? Do you think she would be stupid enough to believe Murong Fu?"

A-Bi smiled bitterly: "Young Master, you don't understand. This is the first time that Young Master Murong has taken the initiative to ask her out to play."

"Oh~ This is the first time..."

"Young Master!" A-Bi stamped her feet repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. But I have a better idea."

A Bi immediately stood up and grabbed Hong Chen's sleeve: "Master!"

Hong Chen whistled, and Garuda quickly flew over and landed at the door. He said, "Just write a letter to Madam Wang."

"Ah? Snitching..."

"We can remain anonymous and have Garuda quietly drop the letter in front of Madam Wang."

A-Bi's eyes moved quickly, and then she nodded: "Good idea!"

"I'll write the letter later. I also have something to tell you."

"Master, please give me your instructions."

"It's not an order, but Ah Zhu is coming back."

"Really?" A-Bi became excited.
