Chapter 106: Second Madam: Oh no, it

Tong Yuyue was struck with astonishment.

Her face was filled with disbelief, and those bewitching, alluring eyes were brimming with an intense, extreme sense of unease and panic.

She had witnessed with her own eyes the husband's first wife actively throwing herself into another man's arms and even offering a passionate kiss.

What was even more outrageous was that this man was her own Personal Disciple...

If this got out, who would believe it?

As a concubine, she had been in the Ye Family for several years.

Over these years, she had seen for herself the upright conduct and broad-mindedness of the First Madam, Liu Qingmei.

She had never seen her have intimate contact with any man.

Even the husband was no exception.

The two treated each other with the respect of guests, which was considered a model story.

Not to mention taking on disciples.

Among the hundreds of disciples in the Ye Family, which one did not call her Mistress? But she had always been strict with them, and the dignity of the Mistress had never been compromised.

But ever since her husband Ye Bufan was suddenly injured and fell into a coma.

The situation had changed.

Liu Qingmei's temperament seemed to have undergone a major transformation.

At first, she thought it was only because her husband Ye Bufan was seriously injured that her personality had changed.

But later, she inadvertently heard that Liu Qingmei had actually taken on a Personal Disciple! A Personal Disciple! In the entire Cangjian Villa, among hundreds of disciples, not a single one had ever received such an honor.

Looking across the vast Jianghu.

Only when someone was to inherit one's mantle, possessing top-tier aptitude, talent, and character, and was considered important enough to give one's life for—someone viewed as more important than one's own children—would they be taken as a Personal Disciple.

One had to know that Feng Zhien had joined Cangjian Villa since he was a child.

He was almost no different from Ye Bufan's own son.

Yet even so, he was merely a Core Disciple.

But Liu Qingmei had taken a stable hand as her Personal Disciple.

Was there something fishy going on? She was quite curious at first.

Later on, she had some trivial matters that required Liu Qingmei's decision, so she went to the Wenshui Residence where she lived.

Unfortunately, she did not see her.

It wasn't that she had gone out.

Rather, she was blocked at the door by her maid, Liu Xiaoya.

As a concubine, to put it bluntly, her status in the Ye Family was not even as high as Liu Xiaoya's.

Naturally, she dared not disturb her.

But she kept a watchful eye at the time and waited for a while in the garden next to the Wenshui Residence.

She saw a man, Ning Mu, come out of the Wenshui Residence.

For such a long time.

In the entire Wenshui Residence, there were only Ning Mu and Liu Qingmei, a lone man and woman! But at that time.

She hadn't thought much of it, assuming Liu Qingmei was teaching Ning Mu cultivation.

But later on, she gradually discovered something was wrong.

Not only was Liu Qingmei's kindness toward Ning Mu beyond imagination, but ever since she took Ning Mu as a disciple, she often did not stay in the Ye Family, but instead traveled together with Ning Mu.

This time, she even abandoned the mess of affairs in the Ye Family to come to this Yonghang City with Ning Mu.

Especially.

After entering Yonghang City, she went out even more frequently and rarely stayed at the Ye Family Residence.

And almost every time she went out, it had to do with Ning Mu.

Moreover, on several nights, she discovered that Liu Qingmei was not at the Ye Family Residence.

The dignified Manor Mistress of Cangjian Villa was actually not returning home at night!

Gradually, Tong Yuyue sensed something.

This pair of master and disciple did not seem to have the simple master-disciple relationship that appeared on the surface!

Out of curiosity.

Tong Yuyue began to secretly observe Ning Mu.

She discovered that this boy possessed wisdom beyond his years, and many of his whimsical ideas were simply like a Divine Pen.

For example, the Perfume.

For example, the high-proof liquor he named Erguotou.

For example, suddenly obtaining a large amount of grain to provide disaster relief.

And for example, the various strategies he had just provided to the Prefect, Pi Taiyu, for alleviating the disaster and self-rescue.

And that Hua Man Lou...

All of this made Tong Yuyue feel that this "Maid" Ning Mu did not seem as simple as he appeared on the surface! Perhaps the First Madam, Liu Qingmei, was sinking into the wisdom of this boy, Ning Mu.

Therefore, she decided to test him.

Just now under the table, she deliberately stretched her foot toward the opposite side, but unexpectedly, the moment she touched Ning Mu's leg, the boy actually reached out and grabbed her foot.

He was too bold!

But immediately, she realized where the problem lay.

Engaging in such private flirting in front of a third party already exceeded the relationship of ordinary lovers.

And she and Ning Mu were not yet familiar to that extent.

Then there is only one possibility!

This kid is treating his own foot as Liu Qingmei!

Upon reaching this conclusion, Tong Yuyue was completely stunned.

Fortunately, over these years at Ye Fu, she had cultivated the psychological fortitude to keep her emotions hidden and face various situations with a smile! But at this moment, she was only suspicious and dared not be certain.

After all, what if it was just Ning Mu's one-sided idea, and Liu Qingmei did not agree?

However...

The scene unfolding before her eyes completely overturned her doubts.

Liu Qingmei was actually taking the initiative to kiss Ning Mu!

She is already thirty-eight years old!

And she is Ning Mu's Master.

Yet, she didn't care in the slightest that she was present, right after Pi Taiyu and He Daqian had just left, and likely hadn't even gone downstairs yet.

She couldn't help but offer a kiss of her own accord.

She could understand Liu Qingmei's inner excitement after the matter of the disaster victims was resolved.

She could also understand her joy at seeing her disciple be so wise.

But what she could not understand was.

Is this something a Master can do to a disciple?

Tong Yuyue looked bewildered.

Liu Qingmei also realized what was happening, hurriedly pulled away from Ning Mu, then looked at Tong Yuyue, her face flushed red, and she said softly: "Ayue, don't overthink it, I... I was just too excited!"

Excited? Tong Yuyue smiled awkwardly.

This explanation was too far-fetched! Especially since, even now, she could see that the hand of that kid Ning Mu was still resting on her plump buttocks.

Gently stroking and patting. As if treating them as his own private property.

Just like a toy for him to play with.

You tell me this is excitement? Obviously.

Liu Qingmei also realized that Ning Mu's hand was still resting on her semi-circular curve.

She frowned slightly, intending to move it away.

But as a thought crossed her mind, for some reason, not only did she not move it, but she instead took the initiative to bend over slightly and arch backward.

"Mm..."

Liu Qingmei let out a soft moan subconsciously.

That languid appearance was just like a little kitten enjoying its master's caresses, her peach-blossom eyes slightly narrowed, and her cheeks, flushed from the wine, radiated a fragrant allure.

"..."

Seeing this scene, Tong Yuyue instantly turned red, her gaze darting away elsewhere.

Her plump, long legs, shifting restlessly under the table, also rubbed together unconsciously.

This is too absurd!

"Cough... I understand, Sister, I am also very excited, Xiao Mu is... too amazing!"

Tong Yuyue's eyes darted around as she responded to Liu Qingmei's words.

Just then.

The moment her voice fell.

In this silent, amorous room, a clear, audible slapping sound suddenly rang out.

Slap! Ning Mu was seen sitting opposite, calm and collected; not content with just gently stroking, he had actually slapped his hand right onto Sister Liu Qingmei's plump, firm curve in front of her.

Tong Yuyue was completely dumbfounded.

Because Ning Mu was sitting down, and Liu Qingmei was standing right across from her, her gaze leveled forward, catching that wicked hand perfectly.

And... that firm mountain.

Liu Qingmei was also startled and stunned.

The pain that struck was not very intense.

But the inner shame, combined with Tong Yuyue's shocked expression, made her feel she had nowhere to hide.

Whether it was the lingering effects of the wine or the current predicament, Liu Qingmei only felt her face burning hot.

But she was a Martial Arts Grandmaster, after all.

Plus, she was nominally the most senior person in this room.

So, after a moment of bewilderment, she immediately recovered, turned her head with a coquettish look, and began to complain in a low, lover-like murmur.

"You little rascal, are you trying to kill me? Can't you see where we are?"

After saying this, she forcibly swatted away Ning Mu's hand from her buttocks.

Then she looked at Tong Yuyue and explained: "Cough, Ayue, this kid Xiao Mu lacks discipline, and Sister is quite helpless."

"You didn't see anything, right?"

Tong Yuyue was startled.

As if struck by a sudden inspiration, she immediately nodded repeatedly.

"Mm-hmm, Sister is right. This child Xiao Mu probably lacks motherly love since his parents haven't been around since he was young. I only saw the deep bond between Master and disciple, nothing else," Tong Yuyue said hurriedly.

Her face was solemn, and those charming eyes were full of seriousness, no longer seductive like a vixen.

She knew that Liu Qingmei's words already contained a heavy warning.

She wasn't even worried that she would expose her lie.

After all.

Without the Ye Family, she still had the Liu Family as her backing.

As for herself, apart from her father and brothers who were in business, she had no other support.

So what if she had seen it with her own eyes?

Liu Qingmei's adherence to virtue in the Ye Family was something everyone in the Ye Family had witnessed.

The Ye Family's younger sister, Ye Qingxian, was even more like a confidante and close friend to her.

If she were to go out and blabber that Liu Qingmei and Ning Mu were not truly master and apprentice, but were actually carrying on an illicit affair in secret, she feared she wouldn't even know how she died!

In an instant, a thousand thoughts flashed through Tong Yuyue's mind.

And then she made what she considered the most correct decision: "You are right."

Liu Qingmei revealed a satisfied smile.

She then turned her head to look at the bewildered Ning Mu, stretched out her slender, jade-like hand to stroke his face back and forth, and revealed a perfectly appropriate helpless smile.

"This child, he is quite smart and has good aptitude, but he is just too clingy, so he always likes to stick to me; sigh, I am also very helpless."

"I was thinking, if I could find him a woman, perhaps things would be much better."

"Ayue, what do you think?"

Liu Qingmei smiled and turned her head to look at Tong Yuyue.

???

Asking me?

I am not his Master, how would I know!

Tong Yuyue was speechless inside.

But facing Liu Qingmei's smiling eyes, she had to answer; after pondering for a moment, she gave a light cough, glanced at Ning Mu, her pretty face slightly red, and asked: "How about... this humble one helps to look around?"

Tong Yuyue was cautious and careful with her words, trying to discern Liu Qingmei's intentions.

She keenly sensed that Liu Qingmei suddenly saying this was definitely not without purpose.

It was targeted with extreme precision! Otherwise, given Liu Qingmei's status and position, as for women, as long as Ning Mu liked them, wouldn't there be a whole crowd of them, a room full of fair-skinned beauties actively fawning over him and currying favor?

Sure enough.

Liu Qingmei's next words confirmed her guess! "Mm, then I will trouble you, Ayue. It would be best if she were like you; my little Mu has a bad temper and likes women who are a bit older and still possess charm."

Liu Qingmei looked at Tong Yuyue and said with a beaming smile.

These words seemed casual, but the deep meaning hidden within them was enough to stir the imagination.

In truth, no one knew that at this moment, Liu Qingmei's heart was ashamed to the extreme, yet she still had to force herself to remain calm!

Telling lies with her eyes open was one thing.

She also had to make the person listening to her lies agree with her.

Especially since.

That little beast Ning Mu was still not staying still.

After realizing what was happening, he had secretly reached out that wicked hand of his.

Relying on the eight-immortal table for cover.

He lingered on her leg and within that narrow, deep valley, unable to tear himself away.

Bad thing! If it weren't for you, could this old lady have done such a base thing? Not only are you not grateful, but you are also adding fuel to the fire here; if this were seen by Tong Yuyue, how could she possibly argue her way out of it?

This was not something that could be glossed over with just a word like 'maternal love'!

And upon hearing Liu Qingmei's words, Tong Yuyue's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Oh no, it's coming for me!
