Chapter 69: Fear

Seeing this, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but touch his chin.

This movement… Could it be that my eyesight is not as sharp as it was in my previous life? The young master of the Cao family looks weak, but is actually very brave?

Think about it, he ran back to the Tutor’s Mansion from here, chatted with his stepfather and the others for a while, and finally dragged the Tutor and the others over here. The whole process must have taken at least fifteen minutes.

Two quarters of an hour equal thirty minutes, and most people can’t last that long.

This Cao Rui is truly a man who never reveals his true colors.

But in fact, Ye Shuo was thinking wrongly. Even though the two of them were having an affair, they were not so impatient to do it right away upon meeting. What’s the fun in that?

In fact, these two have just begun.

After Cao Rui came into the yard, the two cousins ​​lingered for a while before going to the main house.

Especially Cao Rui’s cousin, who became jealous when she learned that her cousin came to her so late today because he accompanied his fiancée to Baoyu Pavilion.

Baoyu Pavilion might seem ordinary or even unremarkable to the noble ladies outside. They would only go there to stroll around and buy some small items when they really had nowhere else to go. But for Cao Rui’s cousin, it was a luxury.

Especially when the family she married into was not that good.

This is also the reason why Cao Rui’s cousin is so obsessed with Cao Rui and is unwilling to let go.

She had been accustomed to a luxurious life in the Cao family, and the gap after getting married was too big, so she clung to Cao Rui desperately, even though she knew that if her affair was discovered, she would be doomed.

But it happened that Cao Rui was in a bad mood today. He was first teased by a beggar, and then a stranger splashed a basin of water on him on the street. In addition, he himself had a bad temper and was even more violent in bed. His cousin’s jealousy was misplaced, which made Cao Rui’s desire for sadism even stronger.

Therefore, the two of them were very active in the house today.

Perhaps it was because the surrounding area was rather desolate with few residents, plus they had been together for a year without any problems, so this wild pair of mandarin ducks were very relaxed.

Hearing the obscene words getting louder and louder, the crown prince’s expression turned pale and blue.

The crown prince usually comes into contact with highbrow things, books, memorials to the emperor, and national affairs. How could he have ever come into contact with these?

Not to mention him, even the usually absurd King Jin couldn’t stand it and felt so embarrassed that he felt uncomfortable.

Look at the Taifu again, a great scholar of the time, a first-rank official, the most old-fashioned and polite person in his life. How could he have encountered such a thing, and he never thought that he would encounter such a thing in his life. He almost fainted.

Only Ye Shuo, the youngest, looks the most natural.

As luck would have it, just when everyone was stunned, there was another wave of men’s growls and women’s gasps, and the three of them suddenly felt their scalps go numb.

The crown prince had said the same thing countless times. He knew his brother was naughty, but he never knew how naughty he would be next time.

“Is this the golden dragon you told me about?!”

The crown prince gnashed his teeth, lost all his composure, and was unusually furious.

“Come back with me, I will make you pay this time!”

The prince didn’t even dare to imagine what would happen to his younger brother when he grew up.

But he had finally tricked the three of them here, especially the Grand Tutor. How could Ye Shuo give up without letting them meet Cao Rui?

Seeing the prince reaching out to grab him, Ye Shuo dodged nimbly, then raised his foot to kick the door in front of him under the almost suffocating gazes of the three people.

“You guys, go to guard the various intersections in the alley, especially the small door in the southwest direction, and don’t let anyone escape!” When Ye Shuo came here, he specially observed that the house in front of him was connected to the house next door, and the exit of the house next door was just in the opposite southwest direction.

No matter how stupid or brainless Cao Rui was, he should have left himself a way out when he did something bad, right?

Just in case, Ye Shuo made a special statement.

Ye Shuo is a prince after all, and the guards accompanying him have to listen to his words.

Seeing that the crown prince did not refuse, the guards hesitated for a moment, then immediately bowed and did as they were told.

“The rest of you, come and help me kick the door.” Ye Shuo was young after all, and had no way to open the wooden door in front of him without exposing himself. He could only ask the guards for help.

“Don’t be anxious, Third Brother, the two of you stand aside. I’ll show you something interesting later.” Upon hearing that the people inside were indeed alarmed, Ye Shuo hurriedly said.

Taifu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

The crown prince couldn’t think of any circumstances under which his brother would eavesdrop on such a thing, but now that things had come to this, the crown prince had no choice but to grit his teeth and sneer, “Wait, if you don’t give me an explanation, you can wait and see how father will punish you!”

Just thinking about how he had tricked himself into coming to such a place and listened to a live sex scene, the prince was so angry that he was shaking all over.

Just as the guards drew their swords and kept slashing, Cao Rui inside could no longer sit still.

Cao Rui was no fool after all. He knew something was wrong immediately when he heard the loud noise outside. He didn’t even go out of the door. He hurriedly grabbed his clothes and rushed into the compartment of the main room. However, he saw an extremely hidden small door in the darkest corner of the compartment.

It turned out that when Cao Rui bought this house, he also bought the house next door, so that he could escape immediately after the truth was revealed.

As for women’s clothes, they were more complicated. Suddenly waking up from the afterglow of what had just happened, his cousin’s hands were shaking in panic.

However, Cao Rui didn’t even look at her. He opened the small door and rushed in.

Just when Cao Rui thought that everything was fine, he was about to leave the house next door. As soon as he showed his head, he was caught by the guards who were waiting there.

The guards in the palace were no pushovers, and with a little force from their hands, Cao Rui was immediately unable to move.

“Who are you? Do you know who I am, and how dare you come to arrest me? You are simply, ah——”

Feeling a sharp pain in his shoulder, Cao Rui couldn’t help but screaming in pain.

Just as he was struggling desperately, trying to break free from the guards’ shackles, footsteps were suddenly heard not far away.

Looking up, the moment he saw Ye Shuo, Cao Rui blurted out: “It’s you!?”

It was the beggar from before!

“Why aren’t you dead yet?”

The moment the words fell, the crown prince, who had just been forced by Ye Shuo to hide aside, was stunned at first, and then his face suddenly darkened.

Even though Xiaojiu behaved absurdly and liked to play tricks on people, he was still his younger brother after all. How could the crown prince not be annoyed when he heard this?

Looking at the Grand Tutor again, he almost fainted when he saw the face of the young master of the Cao family.

Cao Rui appeared here and was caught by the guards again. The truth about ‘who’ the person in the room just now was revealed.

Seeing that his granddaughter-in-law’s future husband’s trouser belt was not fastened properly, and there was an ambiguous mark on his exposed neck, Taifu felt even darker before his eyes.

“Asshole! Asshole!”

Hearing this familiar voice, Cao Rui froze at first, then looked back in disbelief.

When he saw the old face of the Grand Tutor and his eyes that were almost spitting fire, Cao Rui felt a chill in his heart.

Finished.

It’s all over now.

Being caught red-handed by the Grand Tutor, he was afraid that his marriage with Liang Wenyin would be called off, and even the reputation he had built up for so long would be in jeopardy.

But what Cao Rui didn’t know was that not only his marriage and reputation would be implicated, but the entire Cao family would be implicated by him.

Seeing that Cao Rui only knew the Grand Tutor but not the Crown Prince, Ye Shuo at the side had to kindly remind him: “Don’t just look at the Grand Tutor, do you want to guess who the young man standing next to me is?”

The crown prince was a little annoyed when he heard this: “Xiao Jiu!”

Tsk, you’ve already come here and watched the show, why are you still feeling ashamed?

The moment Cao Rui looked over, Ye Shuo chuckled, and under Cao Rui’s almost desperate gaze, he came close to him and whispered, “Let me tell you, this is the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty.”

“And this one, this one is the emperor’s younger brother. How about it? Do you feel honored?”

A crown prince, a king, and a tutor came in person to catch the adulterer. This lineup was simply luxurious.

“No one has ever enjoyed the treatment you’ve given them, so just be happy.”

Listening to his brother muttering in a low voice to the young master of the Cao family, which made the young master’s face pale, the crown prince couldn’t help but feel a headache.

Prince Jin at the side couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

As for the Grand Tutor, he was completely dumbfounded when he saw the woman who followed closely behind him came out in a panic and subconsciously called Cao Rui “cousin”.

Cao Rui then realized how big a mistake he had made in those two sentences he had just uttered subconsciously.

He could still chat and laugh with the Crown Prince’s tutor and the prince. This beggar’s background must be not simple.

Cao Rui just hoped that it would not be what he imagined.

Seeing that he seemed to have finally come to his senses, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but smile a little wider: “You must be guessing who I am at this moment.”

“I might as well tell you that it is just what you think in your heart.”

With a “puff” sound, Cao Rui’s hopes were completely shattered.

Anyone who dares to kill the prince will be guilty of a heinous crime punishable by the execution of all nine generations of his clan!

But now it is too late for Cao Rui to take it back. The Taifu and the Crown Prince beside him are the best witnesses.

As if Ye Shuo still thought it was not enough, he slowly said: “As for the Cao family, I found a particularly interesting phenomenon. Do you want to hear it?”

This phenomenon is naturally related to the reputation of the Cao family. Ye Shuo is particularly curious. Could it be that the Cao family is really as spotless as he said?

If they were really spotless, how could it be such a coincidence that all the daughters-in-law of the Cao family were of the same race and had higher family backgrounds than the Cao family itself?

Since they are a family that loves their daughters, their daughters will most likely be raised to be very simple and innocent. Girls with impure personalities will not marry into the Cao family.

Anyone with a little ambition would simply look down upon the Cao family. As for the Cao family, they would also not choose an ambitious daughter-in-law. It was a two-way choice. If either side was lacking, the marriage would not be successful.

Liang Wenyin is a good example. Her grandfather is stubborn, refuses to listen to advice, and hardly ever listens to his children’s opinions. Liang Wenyin herself has a soft personality, making her a perfect marriage candidate.

Girls with this kind of personality and family background are the easiest to be controlled.

Just like Cao Rui, he would suppress Liang Wenyin from time to time when they were together. After a long time, a girl like Liang Wenyin would easily fall into self-doubt.

Ye Shuo suspected that the other three daughters-in-law of the Cao family were also trained in this way. In addition, the world today has many restrictions on women, and girls have been disciplined by various rules since childhood and are well-behaved and sensible. They are not willing to trouble their parents easily. They have not revealed the truth about the Cao Mansion to their parents for so many years, so Ye Shuo believed it.

Ye Shuo even believed that these girls themselves didn’t know there was something wrong with this.

Over time, they have become like animals and have long been domesticated.

However, the girls are stupid, but their parents are not stupid.

Ye Shuo stared at Cao Rui’s eyes carefully and said with a smile: “Tell me, if I spread this matter and tell your sisters-in-law’s parents, what will your sisters-in-law’s parents do?”

Cao Rui couldn’t control himself, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his expression was blank for a moment.

When one’s most secret matters are exposed, unless one’s mental quality is extremely strong, it will be impossible to reveal any flaws.

But such people are rare even after training.

Seeing this, Ye Shuo had a rough idea in his mind.

After he came to his senses, Cao Rui’s anger at being teased, the frustration at being caught, and the panic at running into the Grand Tutor all disappeared, leaving only fear in his heart.

Cao Rui felt that the prince in front of him was particularly scary.

Although he was smiling, his eyes and heart were full of knives.
