They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

Chapter 113 Successfully Entering the Mansion

Huang Ziliang just squatted there and sobbed. When he felt Wu Chengye approaching, he waved his hands to cover his face, saying, "No, don't touch me, don't come any closer!"

"Open your eyes, it's me!" Wu Chengye grabbed his flailing hand. When Huang Ziliang opened his eyes, they were filled with tears and red, making him look incredibly pitiful.

He trembled and sobbed, and Wu Chengye stared in disbelief. Then she took off her outer robe and draped it over him, saying, "Wrap yourself up."

She pulled him up by the hand and could feel that his hand was cold and trembling. Wu Chengye took the initiative to speak: "My name is Chengye, please stop calling me heroine."

"Thank you." Her voice was barely audible, yet it reached Wu Chengye's ears clearly. She squeezed his hand tightly and said, "It's alright. It's really not safe for you to live alone. Why don't you come and stay at my place?"

"How can it be proper for an unmarried man to live in a woman's house?"

“If you stay as a guest, who will dare to say anything? It’s dangerous for you to be out there alone. You won’t eat well, you won’t be warm enough, and there will be no one to take care of you if you get sick.”

"What merit do I possess?"

“I actually had someone investigate you, and I didn’t expect you to be such a learned person. In your spare time, you could teach the servants in your household to read and write some poems.”

Wu Chengye made no attempt to conceal the fact that she had many men, but she never crossed any lines in her manners towards him.

"Guests in the manor?"

"If you're willing, you can come with me to pack up and go back today. The people in my camp are all good people, and they will definitely not bully you."

"Thank you for today, Miss... no, Miss Chengye. However, I think it's best to skip visiting your residence. After all, I'm not a great talent, just a humble scholar."

"I said you have to go, so you have to go. I absolutely have to let you go!"

"Then...then..."

"If you don't come to stay at my place, I can't guarantee that I won't be there for you in time if something like this happens again."

“Miss Xie Chengye, I will go to your residence tomorrow. Please allow me to go back and tidy myself up today. It would be bad for the people in the household to see me in such a disheveled state.”

Hearing that he had agreed to go to her residence, she was secretly delighted. She thought about how she had tried every means and method to get Sima Lingchuan before, but in the end, she had not succeeded. This substitute, on the other hand, had only used a few tricks to get him to obediently go back with her.

Moreover, I've always considered her my savior, and the more I think about my foolish actions back then, the more ridiculous they seem.

Thinking of this, she tightened her grip on Huang Ziliang's wrist, as if afraid he would escape from her again.

Huang Ziliang struggled for a moment, and Wu Chengye's eyes immediately changed, looking at him with a cold gaze, as if asking him what he wanted to do. He stared with innocent eyes: "Miss Chengye, it hurts a little."

"I'm sorry, I was too nervous just now, afraid they would come back, so I held on tighter. Let me see." He picked up his hand and saw several finger marks on his snow-white skin.

Even so, she didn't let go of his hand, holding it tightly as if afraid he would escape from her grasp.

Feeling that he should walk back and escort him to the entrance of Shiyuan Lane, Huang Ziliang tightened his cloak and said, "Miss Chengye, you should go back quickly. Standing here for too long will attract gossip."

"Don't you dare gossip about me, rip his tongue out!"

"The house is simple, please come in and have a glass of water before you leave."

"Ziliang, I really want you to move into my house today."

Hearing the name Ziliang sent a chill down his spine. How disgusting it sounded when she called him that, but when Wu Ziyan called him that, he felt warmth and affection.

"Didn't they all promise me I'd get ready?"

Wu Chengye wasn't going to make a difference with just one more day. He went inside, had a quick drink of water, and then went out, saying to someone, "Keep a close eye on him!"

After receiving their orders, the people in the shadows hid. Meanwhile, Mo Baiyun's men were also keeping an eye on the alley.

Huang Ziliang fetched water inside the house and washed all the grime off his body, especially the area where Wu Chengye had grabbed his arm. He scrubbed it vigorously until the entire patch of skin turned red, but he still felt like he wasn't clean enough.

This was not the time to reminisce. He took a deep breath, stopped looking at that place, ground ink, wrote a letter, and placed it in a conspicuous spot on the windowsill, knowing that Wu Chengye's people would definitely come and take the note away.

It was just a few short love poems, and they were lines from a love poem that Wu Chengye had once written for Sima Lingchuan.

The other notes were placed on the doorframe of another door; that was the next plan. I believe the person in Wu Chengye's mansion already knows of his existence. When they enter the mansion, it will depend on how well the two of them cooperate.

Sure enough, when he returned from another room, he found that the note on the windowsill was gone, and the people outside had changed shifts to watch him. The previous person had already returned the note to Wu Chengye.

Wu Chengye opened the note, and memories flooded back like a tide: "Looking: as white as snow on the mountain, as bright as the moon in the clouds, if the east wind blows, a thousand trees will bloom, and I will be like a leaf, accompanying the east wind."

She placed the note on her desk. Being in a high position, she couldn't possibly love only one person. She felt that Huang Ziliang understood her. She closed her eyes and murmured, "What a beautiful line, 'Like a leaf accompanying the east wind'."

"Someone, go and prepare the room next to mine, and make sure everything is to my specifications."

The servants, of course, dared not neglect their duties. Whatever the master said was law. However, since the room was so close to hers, they would secretly speculate about which new favorite she was.

Wu Chengye looked up at the sky and felt that the night was going on for a very long time. She longed to go and bring Huang Ziliang back the next day.

But Huang Ziliang didn't think that way. He tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, constantly trying to mentally prepare himself. He was seeking revenge, and he had to get rid of all other thoughts. He was no longer himself, and he was determined to give those people the punishment they deserved for what happened back then.

The thought of those physical contacts made him feel nauseous; Mo Baiyun had also visited him once that night, and he had found some information through the dark web. It turned out that the young master of the Huang family had been lost years ago, and when he was found, he was covered in wounds and had lost his virginity.

The disaster relief efforts were arranged by Wu Chengye's subordinates. They had a fondness for boys, and while they didn't provide much relief, they did a lot of things like oppressing the people, robbing them for money, and even murdering them. After that year, the matter became a secret, and the Huang family went bankrupt.

Fortunately, Huang Ziliang received a different kind of education from childhood. Losing his chastity was not the most important thing. What was important was that dozens of lives in his Huang family were killed by Wu Chengye's men.
