The next day, the sky was just getting light when Madam Chen woke up.
She hadn't slept soundly all night, fearing she'd oversleep. There was a good show coming!
Madam Chen fought off her drowsiness, got out of bed, and put on her clothes before going to wake up Jiang Yuanfa, who was still asleep.
Jiang Yuanfa mumbled sleepily, "What time is it? The sun isn't even up yet!"
Madam Chen whispered, "Get up! If you mess this up, you'll be sorry!"
Jiang Yuanfa didn't dare to disobey his wife and lazily sat up, yawning twice. "Madam, why are we getting up so early?"
Madam Chen, while combing her hair, smiled meaningfully. "Get up quickly, we're going to catch them in the act!"
"Catch them in the act?"
Jiang Yuanfa thought he'd misheard.
Madam Chen finished her hair and went to the bed, whispering, "Isn't that little bastard unwilling to listen? I used a Honey Trap. Last night, I had Rongyue give him Honey Cakes, and now Rongyue is probably sleeping in that little bastard's bed. We'll go catch them in the act now. With such a scandal, that little bastard will be at our mercy, and he won't dare disobey us!"
Madam Chen smiled triumphantly. The "Honey Trap" idea came from her nephew, Chen Xuan.
After Jiang Wencheng was arrested, Madam Chen was extremely anxious, and there was no news from Xu Hongchuan. She was truly at a loss.
Her nephew, Chen Xuan, heard that she was going to find Xu Hongchuan herself and came up with a plan.
"Aunt, that Xu Hongchuan is powerful now, and I'm afraid he won't listen to Uncle."
Madam Chen's eyebrows formed an inverted V, and she said resentfully, "If he won't save Cheng'er, I'll go to the Prefect and report him!"
Chen Xuan gently shook his head. "Aunt, don't act rashly. It won't do us any good to tear up the relationship."
Madam Chen said angrily, "Then what do you suggest?"
Chen Xuan's eyes flickered, and he smiled, "If he has some leverage in our hands, it will be easy."
"Oh, my nephew, where can we find his leverage?"
Chen Xuan whispered in Madam Chen's ear, "Aunt and Uncle go with your cousin-in-law this time, send your cousin-in-law to his bed, and then go catch them in the act. Xu Hongchuan is, after all, your cousin's direct elder brother. If it gets out that a brother-in-law slept with his sister-in-law, he might not even keep his official position!"
Madam Chen was shocked. "How can we do that? Where will my Cheng'er's face be?"
Chen Xuan said slowly, "If we don't have leverage over Xu Hongchuan, your cousin probably won't be able to get out. Why worry about face?"
Madam Chen narrowed her triangular eyes and pondered for a moment, revealing a cruel smile: "Xuan'er is right. Anyway, she's a hen that doesn't lay eggs, we'll get rid of her sooner or later. This way, we can not only legitimately divorce her, but also get that little bastard's leverage and use him in the future! It's killing two birds with one stone! Hahaha!"
Chen Xuan followed with a laugh, "Aunt is absolutely right. Not only will we get him to get your cousin out, but he'll also have to pave the way for your cousin in the future!"
Madam Chen's eyes narrowed into a slit with laughter. "Exactly! Xuan'er's plan is brilliant!"
Madam Chen was delighted. Last night, that Manager Liu stopped them from entering the little bastard's courtyard. She thought they'd be in vain. It was truly fate!
Jiang Yuanfa was stunned for a long time and was no longer sleepy. He jumped out of bed in one go, his eyes widening. "Say that again? What, Rongyue is in Ting'er's bed? Have you lost your mind? Where will our Jiang family's face be?"
Madam Chen's eyes widened, and she said resentfully, "Your Jiang family's face? If we can't save my Cheng'er, your Jiang family will be without descendants! Why care about the Jiang family's face? That little bastard is clearly unwilling to acknowledge you. How can he obediently get Cheng'er out? If we don't have leverage over him, how can he be willing to listen to us?"
Jiang Yuanfa was still in a daze, seemingly unable to believe Madam Chen's words, and asked in a daze, "Rongyue… isn't that kind of person… and Ting'er would…"
Madam Chen sat down, poured herself a cup of cold tea, and moistened her throat, saying slowly, "I have my own methods. Thanks to Xuan'er getting me some good things, that little bastard will definitely take the bait!"
This time, Jiang Yuanfa finally understood that his good wife had played a good hand behind his back, designing her daughter-in-law to be sent to her eldest son's bed, and then going to catch them in the act!
Jiang Yuanfa, trembling, put on his clothes and couldn't help but complain, "How can you be so muddleheaded! To do such a disgraceful thing!"
Madam Chen glared at Jiang Yuanfa and said coldly, "Then do you have any other way to save Cheng'er?"
Jiang Yuanfa was speechless; he truly had no other options. His youngest son was also the apple of his eye!
Sigh, no matter what, this was a way, and they had to save Cheng'er first.
He whispered, "What methods did you use?"
Madam Chen smiled triumphantly, "I originally wanted to put something in the Honey Cakes, but Xuan'er said that the little bastard might not eat them, and it would be difficult to investigate later. He got me a Wooden Hairpin and said it was soaked in Aphrodisiac Oil for a whole month. As long as a man smells it for a quarter of an hour, he'll be aroused, and it's harmless for women. Last night, before Rongyue entered the little bastard's courtyard, I made her wear the hairpin."
Jiang Yuanfa frowned. "Where did Xuan'er get this filthy thing? A scholar, where did he learn such a base trick!"
Madam Chen put down her teacup and stood up, rolling her eyes at Jiang Yuanfa. "Stop talking nonsense, let's go!"
In the Main Courtyard, Xu Hongchuan had also woken up early. For the first time, someone was on his bed. It wasn't even dawn yet when Rongyue turned over, and he woke up. When he woke up, his arm was still around the beauty's soft waist.
Soft jade and fragrant warmth, it was indeed a great feeling!
Xu Hongchuan squeezed the slender waist in his hand, and couldn't help but caress it back and forth, skin like tender tofu, smooth to the touch. He slid his hand up the soft waist and covered a pair of breasts.
How did these breasts grow, so big, so perky, and so soft? He couldn't even hold them with one hand, and his palm was full.
Xu Hongchuan held the beauty's jade breasts and squeezed them again and again. The small nipples that were originally sleeping gradually stood up in his palm. He couldn't help but moan, and his lower abdomen tightened.
Damn!
This enchantress!
He's hard just from touching her!
