Chapter 451

Duan Yu bent over, smiled, and blew out the oil lamp in the room, then whispered softly in Dong Yi's ear.

Dong Yi's face flushed red, and she nodded shyly.

In the guest courtyard to the right of the Prefect's Mansion.

Aside from Dong Zhuo's mother, who was settled in the rear residence, all other guests were housed here.

In Niu Yaodi's courtyard.

Niu Yaodi, having just washed up with the help of her maids, had changed into a gorgeous long dress and was sitting at the dressing table.

The flame of the oil lamp behind her flickered, and after the sound of a door opening, the light swayed.

Niu Yaodi didn't turn around, but her red lips curled into a charming arc.

Suddenly, a figure that had quietly entered the room from behind grabbed Niu Yaodi in a hug.

"You little vixen, you knew it was me coming, yet you didn't even turn your head."

The man behind her said with a lewd laugh.

Niu Yaodi let out a charming laugh.

"Who else could it be but you?"

"You're so impatient, aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Niu Yaodi twisted her body slightly.

"Afraid?"

"Hmph."

The man behind her laughed arrogantly: "What do I have to fear?"

"You live in the rear residence back home, and it's too hard to see you. Now that we're out, isn't this the perfect opportunity for us to meet?"

As he spoke, the man pulled Niu Yaodi toward the soft couch nearby.

But Niu Yaodi gently shook off his arm.

"Wait a moment, I still have something to tell you."

Niu Yaodi turned around to look at the man behind her.

Dong Huang, standing behind Niu Yaodi, raised an eyebrow: "A night like this is worth a thousand gold; what could be more important than this?"

Niu Yaodi rolled her eyes at Dong Huang: "We came to Jixian this time to ask Duan Yu to get you an official post."

"Aren't you afraid of offending Duan Yu with what you said outside the city today?"

"What if he doesn't help you get the post?"

"Doesn't help?" Dong Huang's voice suddenly rose: "And I have to beg him?"

"If it weren't for my uncle, how could Duan Yu have his current status?"

"Without my uncle, what is Duan Yu?"

"Just a rustic village bumpkin. Does he dare not help?"

Dong Huang said disdainfully: "This isn't me begging him; it's him repaying our Dong family. Me speaking to him is already giving him face."

"If he dares to refuse, I'll write to my uncle and have him teach Duan Yu a lesson."

"I am the only heir of the Dong family; my uncle wouldn't allow it, and neither would Grandmother."

"Although Duan Yu isn't a son-in-law living in our house, what's the difference? He was only promoted by my uncle in the first place."

Niu Yaodi shook her head gently and glanced outside.

Seeing no one, she lowered her voice: "I heard from my brother that the Master highly values this Duan Yu and even said so in public."

"He said he had no sons, and in the future..."

"In the future, the Dong family will have to rely on Duan Yu."

Dong Huang immediately frowned: "Nonsense!"

"When would it ever be Duan Yu's turn to take charge of the Dong family?" Dong Huang raised his voice.

Niu Yaodi made a shushing gesture: "Keep your voice down. What if someone hears? This is Duan Yu's mansion."

Dong Huang shook his head: "What's to fear? I checked when I came; there's no one around."

"Duan Yu doesn't get to call the shots for the Dong family. As the only heir, I will naturally inherit the family business."

"What does Duan Yu have to do with it? He's just a dog of our Dong family."

"Does he really think he's someone?"

"Don't worry about him. If he doesn't get me the post, just watch how I deal with him." Dong Huang curled his lip.

Niu Yaodi, sitting at the dressing table, sighed softly: "Sigh..."

"You say, if Yi'er had married my brother back then, there wouldn't be so much trouble now."

"You wanting to be an official would just be a matter of a single word."

"It's a pity..."

Dong Huang took Niu Yaodi's hand and sneered: "In my opinion, my uncle is blind. What's so good about this Duan Yu?"

"He looks like a short-lived ghost. Don't worry, maybe one day Duan Yu will die in battle, and we'll still be one family. I'll personally tell my uncle to let Dong Yi marry your brother."

"By then, Duan Yu's family business will be ours."

"Alright, alright, stop talking about these useless things. You little vixen, you really make me miss you."

As he spoke, Dong Huang blew out the oil lamp behind him in one breath.

Outside the room, walls have ears.

Liu Bai Tu, dressed in a black robe, was squatting in the corner.

He held a bamboo slip in his left hand and a shortened brush in his right.

He licked the brush tip and wrote on the bamboo slip.

As the sounds of debauchery rose from the room, Liu Bai Tu looked up, glanced toward the room, and smiled, revealing his little white teeth. ===== CHAPTER 453 =====
