Chapter 231: The Handsome Man's Scheme

The man named Shang worked hard to earn money outside since he married Xiaotaohua, fearing that the person he had redeemed would leave him for someone else in the future.
Xiaotaohua pretended to be honest and down-to-earth on the surface, but she was just putting on a show for her husband. She didn't want him to hear about such things.
Men have heard about it, but they just don't believe it. If it's really this kind of woman, I would beat her mercilessly and then sell her to a brothel. This guy with the surname Shang is not a good person either.
Waking up this morning, Shangcheng told Xiaotaohua that he will be going on a long journey today and may not be back for four or five days.
Upon hearing this, Xiaotaohua felt secretly happy in her heart but said, "Master, you are going on another long journey. I don't want to be away from you. Take me with you."
Shangcheng said, "It's inconvenient for a woman to come along. This time, I'm discussing business and I'll be distracted if you go."
Xiaotaohua said, "Alright then, I'll wait for you at home." She packed his luggage for him.
After satisfying the appetite at the mall, we are ready to go with our backpacks on our shoulders.
Little peach blossoms accompany us all the way to the door, reluctant to leave.
After trying to persuade at the mall for a long time, finally, he left.
Little peach blossoms close the door and quickly place a pot of peonies on the second-floor window sill.
Passers-by saw that the shopping mall was going away again, and peonies represented at least a few days.
When the shopping mall saw it from a distance, this woman was indeed not serious. She didn't focus on herself. She became angry and found an inn to rest first, and then caught her cheating at night.
Waiting and looking forward, finally it's nightfall. The merchant left the inn and kept watch nearby.
In the middle of the night, as expected, a man sneakily arrived at his doorstep and mimicked the sound of a cat. Before long, he entered his own yard.
The mall was so angry that it trembled all over, not knowing which leg to step and walked towards its own home.
When it reached the door, it found the door locked, but it didn't know how to do light work. It looked at the courtyard wall, which was not very high, and with three forks and two forks, it climbed onto the top of the wall and jumped down, squatting so hard that the butt almost split into four petals. It saw stars in front of its eyes and took a while to recover.
Heard laughter of a man and a woman from inside the house.
Angry, walked towards the door of the house.
Was about to push the door.
Heard Xiaotaohua say, "Damn it, he won't leave, so you dare not come either. Don't come to my house again in the future."
"I'm not afraid of him. It's more enjoyable when done in secret. It doesn't feel as satisfying when done openly." The man let out a wicked laugh.
"I'm so tired of this. Being around this old man, the food is unappetizing and the clothes are ugly. I feel disgusted just by seeing him." Little Peach Blossom said indignantly.
"Don't worry, baby. I will find a way to bring you here with me. That old guy can only touch you in his dreams now, he can't even come close to you," the man smiled.
Xiaotaohua said, "I find him annoying when he gets close to me, and he even pesters me every night."
"I'm the amazing one. Tonight, I will satisfy you completely," the man said, making "squeak-squeak" sounds with his mouth.
The mall was unbearable, so I kicked the door open with my foot.
The people in the room were startled.
Xiaotaohua and a person with a pockmarked face were twisting doughnuts naked on the bed.
The mall pointed at them angrily and said, "You've done a good job."
小桃花必定是女人，看到自己抓奸在床，吓得不知所措，赶紧披上衣服，拦住商城道：“老爷你听我给你解释。”
商城一把推开小桃花，喝道：“解释个屁。”
Little Taohua stumbled and fell to the ground, hitting her head on the corner of the table, with blood flowing.
Wang Mazhi calmly put on his clothes, as if he were at home.
Shangcheng said, "Wang Mazhi, how dare you bully me like this! She is my woman."
Wang Mazi said, "Xiao Taohua had an affair with me in the brothel. I have to thank you for redeeming her. Since you've done that, why don't you just let her be with me? We are truly in love."
商城是个男人，哪能受这么大的欺辱，道：“王麻子我要把你送到官府，说你调戏我老婆，我要让你坐牢。”不知说什么狠话才解气。
As soon as Wang Mazhi heard this, he got angry and said, "Report to the officials, report to the officials!" He stepped forward and threw a punch, giving Shang Cheng a serious black eye.
Shang Cheng covered his eyes and said, "This is too much, someone come...!" He shouted loudly.
Wang Mazi panicked and covered the mouth of Shangcheng, saying, "Don't scream, or I'll take your life."
The more Shangcheng struggled, the tighter Wang Mazi held him. Both of them exerted all their strength, and in the end, Shangcheng stopped struggling and his body slumped downwards.
Wang Mazi checked the breath with his hand and said, "He's dead."
Xiao Taohua was shocked and asked worriedly, "What should we do now?" She buried her head in his arms out of fear.
Wang Mazi was no longer afraid, as he had killed people before. He said, "Didn't he say he was going on a long journey? Let's make sure he never comes back. Go find a sack."
Xiaotaohua was so scared that she couldn't move a step.
Wang Mazi sighed and said, "This woman is cowardly." He had to go to the grocery room himself and find a burlap bag.
The two of them helped put the body in it.
Wang Mazhi said, "If I take the body out, then you can pretend that nothing has happened." He carried the body of the mall and left.
Xiao Taohua did not dare to go out for two consecutive days. On the third day, she finally walked onto the street. No one on the street noticed anything unusual, so their courage began to grow.
On the fourth day, someone asked Xiao Taohua to identify the body, saying that the body had frozen and become stiff along the river bank.
Poor Xiao Taohua had to bring a few neighbors with her to see the body in the mall, and she really knew how to act. She fainted several times while crying.
The neighbors concluded that someone must have robbed and murdered the shop owner, as he was about to go on a long trip with money on him, but the money had disappeared.
They had no choice but to help carry the body and take care of the funeral arrangements.
Little Peach is now a free agent, and can openly be with Wang Mazi. They are seen together day and night, which has raised suspicions among the neighbors.
Wang Mazi is capable of doing anything. Did he really cause the demise of the shopping mall? There is no evidence, so no one dares to speak without proof. What benefit would it bring to oneself by speaking out? Is it worth it?
Xiao Zhuge came here as his distant cousin and inquired about the small peach blossom in the merchant's alley. Everyone thought it was a new acquaintance of Little Peach Blossom and pointed with their hands.
He arrived at the door and knocked.
"Who is it?" A woman's voice came from inside, and when she opened the door and saw him, she was taken aback and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Little Zhuge said, "I am a cousin from the commercial city, I came from the capital."
Xiaotao has never seen him before, and seeing his handsome appearance, her heart is moved, her nose becomes sour, and tears flow down.
This kind of woman has experienced too much in the world, has encountered all kinds of men and things. If it were now, she would be good enough to be a top-level actress, crying and saying, "Master, he is dead."
Xiao Zhuge pretended to be surprised and said, "When did this happen? We haven't seen each other for many years. I came here to see him, but I didn't expect that he has passed away." As he spoke, his eyes turned red, showing his acting skills.
Since Xiaotaohua is a relative, let her in the house quickly.
Xiaozhuge came to the spirit and paid his respects to his cousin by offering incense, mourning deeply for a while.
Xiaotao Hong said, "It's been over a year, he left me all alone so heartlessly." As she spoke, she cried sadly again.
Little Zhuge sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be too sad. Take care."
Little Taohong looked at Little Zhuge and found him even more handsome. He was such a handsome man that Wang Mazi simply couldn't compare. She said, "Cousin, please take a seat in the living room."
Take the person to the living room.
As soon as Xiaozhugong entered the living room, a burst of fragrance hit his nose. Not just the person, but the whole room was fragrant.
Xiaotaohua poured the tea and said, "Cousin, please have a seat. I'll be right back."
Xiaozhuge did not refuse.
Little Taohong hurriedly came outside and ordered several dishes and a pot of wine at a restaurant, and sent them somewhere. After giving the instructions, she hurriedly returned.
When Xiaozhuge had a break from Xiaotaohua, he went to the boudoir and took a look. There were men's clothes in the wardrobe, it seemed that Wang Mazzi often came.
Xiaotaohua came back and saw Xiaozhuge sitting there drinking tea. She smiled and said, "Cousin, I got some dishes from outside. I apologize for not taking good care of you."
Xiaozhuge replied, "Cousin-in-law, no need to be so polite."
Little Peach Blossom is pouring tea and water, and throwing flirtatious glances.
Little Zhuge feels uncomfortable all over.
The waiter brings the food over.
The two sit together and eat.
Little Peach Blossom's diligent actions exceed the affection of relatives.
Little Zhuge also puts on a show and comes up with a bunch of lies, saying that he has major business in the capital city, with silk shops, herbal medicine, and antiques.
Little Taohua tried to ask how many wives his family had.
Little Zhuge chuckled and said, "Just seven wives."
Little Peach Blossom secretly admired that someone who can afford to support seven concubines must have considerable power. She decided to win him over and let him take her away. The liveliness of staying in the capital city would be unimaginable.
Clipping vegetables, pouring wine.
Little Zhuge is sweet-mouthed, with a tall sister-in-law and a short sister-in-law.
Little Peach Blossom doesn't mention her own background at all, considering that staying in the kiln is a lifelong shame.
They ate a lot.
Xiao Zhuge stood up and said, "I should take my leave."
Xiao Tao Hua suddenly felt empty in her heart and said, "Since you've come all this way, you should stay at our house."
Xiao Zhuge politely said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, for your kind invitation. I will stay at the Pingyang Inn for a few days to take care of some matters. I will visit you another day." As he spoke, he took out a 500-ounce silver ticket from his pocket and said, "Take this. A woman's life is not easy, and it may come in handy in the future."
Xiaotaohua hurriedly said, "No, no, I cannot accept this. You spend money in many places, you should keep it."
Xiaozhuge smiled and said, "I don't lack money, consider this as our meeting gift." He placed the silver ticket on the table and bid farewell.
Xiaotaohua quickly followed up and walked all the way to the gate, then followed them out of the alley, feeling reluctant in her heart.
Xiaozhuge bought a carriage, which was beautiful. If it were in modern times, it would be equivalent to a Rolls-Royce.
Xiao Tao Hua envied him and watched him leave. Returning home, her heart was not at peace, as if she had contracted lovesickness.
Looking at the silver notes on the table, she didn't want them. If she married him, everything would be hers.
Now I don't even think about Wang Mazi, hoping that he will never come to find me. When I think of his face full of freckles, I feel disgusted. If it wasn't for the sake of having food to eat for myself, why would I look for him.
Think about the appearance of Little Zhuge, there is actually such a beautiful man in the world, why didn't I meet him earlier? He is unmarried, I am unmarried, what a wonderful marriage it would be.
