People in the Qin Dynasty sought good fortune and avoided misfortune.

Chapter 137, The Trendy Demoness Caught Hu Meiren in Bed with Her Lover

Inside the Pearl Palace.

The trendy woman wore a black batwing-style strapless top, which was paired with a black silk mini-skirt, and her beautiful legs, without any decoration, were crossed and raised.

The form-fitting palace robe accentuated her alluring figure perfectly, exposing her fair shoulders and snow-white skin to the air. A layer of frost rose slightly on her pretty face, which was alluring but not seductive, and a hint of coldness lingered in her beautiful eyes.

The fairy maiden glanced at the time on the sundial, her face hardening with even more frost, and coldly questioned the maid.

"Has the Imperial Physician taken his leave today?"

The maidservant beside her glanced timidly at the Tide Demoness and replied cautiously.
"Replying to Madam, the Imperial Physician did not request leave today."

"Then where is he now?"

"She has not yet come out of Consort Hu's palace."

After the maid finished speaking, she knelt on the ground and stopped talking, afraid of being implicated in the sins committed by Xu Qing.

She had already suffered a lot of inhuman torment while keeping watch for the two of them, and she didn't want to take the fall for Xu Qing anymore.

Chao Nu Yao's beautiful eyes, filled with coldness, swept over the maid. Her heart skipped a beat, and for some reason, she had a feeling that something terrible was about to happen.

"Go to Consort Hu's palace," Chao Nu Yao said coldly.

The trendy fairy didn't have time to change her clothes, so she just threw on an outer robe and was about to go out.

She knew Xu Qing very well, and she always came to her place at the same time every day without ever being late.

He's been late today; he must be stuck in that vixen's palace.

Unexpectedly, the two of them fell in love.

As she was leaving, the trendy woman glanced at the white mourning dress in the wardrobe, her eyes blazing with anger. Today, one of them, Xu Qing, would inevitably have to wear white.

"Don't bring too many people, just the four of you follow me."

"promise."

Having learned from the experience of catching someone cheating in the theater last time, Chao Nvyao understood that the smaller the commotion, the better, so as to catch them off guard.

Wearing a pair of black pointed-toe patterned high-heeled boots, the trendy woman led four maids and stormed towards Consort Hu's palace. The four maids had never seen their mistress so angry before, and they all lowered their heads and followed silently behind her.

Before long, Chao Nu Yao led her people to Hu Meiren's palace. Looking around, she saw only a few maids and eunuchs cleaning the courtyard outside the palace.

The bedroom doors were tightly shut, with only Consort Hu's personal maid, Ruotao, attending to her.

"Good! Good! Good!" Chao Nu Yao said "good" three times in a row. She knew without even thinking what Xu Qing and Hu Meiren were doing in this familiar scene.

These two really ignored her words. Today she had to teach them a lesson they would never forget, or they would really think that she, the first wife, was just a figurehead.

As the maids and palace servants in the courtyard were preparing to pay their respects upon seeing the arrival of the Tide Demoness, they were met with her icy gaze.

The maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they knelt down on the ground, not daring to say another word. Ruotao, who was outside the bedroom door, naturally noticed the arrival of the Tide Demoness.

Ruotao watched as Madam Mingzhu drew closer, her face showing anxiety. She knew exactly what her beauty and the Imperial Physician were doing.

So he knocked on the window with his hand behind his back, and then walked quickly toward Madam Mingzhu, intending to buy some time for Xu Qing and Hu Meiren.

"I've met Madam Mingzhu. I didn't know you were here... *sobs*"

Before Ruotao could finish speaking, the Tide Demoness gave her maid a look, and the maid immediately restrained Ruotao and gagged her.

The sassy woman glanced disdainfully at Ruotao, flicked her sleeves, and strode towards the palace with her long, beautiful legs. Her black high-heeled boots made a crisp sound as they stepped on the bluestone floor.

Xu Qing and Hu Meiren, who were in the palace, naturally received Ruotao's signal.

"Xu Lang, someone's coming!" Hu Meiren said anxiously.

Xu Qing peeked out from behind the curtain and vaguely heard footsteps outside the bedchamber. Upon hearing the familiar footsteps, her expression changed drastically.

"Oh no, Madam Mingzhu has arrived."

"Ah!? What should we do then?"

Xu Qing and Hu Meiren acted like an adulterous husband and lover, hurriedly getting dressed, afraid of being caught in the house by Chao Nu Yao, the eldest wife.

Hu Meiren hurriedly pulled the bodice off Xu Qing's waist and began to put it on. The flesh-colored stockings with holes were immediately pulled off and hidden under the bedding.

Xu Qing quickly put on his undershirt, picked up his clothes and shoes, and prepared to run away.

However, the Tide Demoness was well-prepared this time, so how could she let Xu Qing escape? The door to her boudoir was violently pushed open, and Xu Qing felt a cold gaze sweep over him, causing him to pause in his escape.

Xu Qing stiffly turned her head to look at the doorway and saw the owner of that gaze. The succubus, wearing a black robe, was standing at the door. The pearls in her hair swayed slightly as she walked, making a crisp clinking sound. Her small face was covered with frost, and her beautiful eyes were full of coldness.

"Husband...wife." Xu Qing smiled awkwardly.

He knew he was finished. He had been caught in bed with someone else, and he was sure to get a beating. Why was he so unlucky?

Chao Nu Yao glanced coldly at Xu Qing, then walked towards the bed, lifted the curtain, and saw Hu Meiren lying on the bed with her clothes disheveled.

"what!"

Hu Meiren cried out in fright, hugging her chest with both hands, her body slightly curled up, looking at Chao Nu Yao with fear.

The succubus glanced at the messy bed, and after seeing the traces of blood on it, she took a deep breath. Her worst fears had come true.

Hu Meiren also noticed Chao Nuyao's gaze and used her small hand to cover the bloodstains on the bed with the quilt.

"What are you blocking me for! Come over here, all of you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chao Nu Yao glanced coldly at Xu Qing, then turned and sat down on the small couch next to her.

Her long, slender legs were crossed, peeking out from under her outer robe.
As Xu Qing dressed, he went to check the expression on the Tide Demoness's face.

Although the Fairy Chao's face was calm, a cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes, making people afraid to look directly at her.

A long black robe fell to either side, her two straight and slender legs crossed and raised, her black boots facing him.

The Tide Demoness noticed that Xu Qing was looking at her, so she followed his gaze and looked at Xu Qing's face, which made her both love and hate him.

She did indeed develop feelings for Xu Qing. She didn't see anything wrong with a hunter falling in love with his prey, after all, she wasn't truly heartless or devoid of desire.

The difference in their social status made her realize that she and Xu Qing could only maintain a secret lover relationship. Even though she longed to completely possess Xu Qing, reason told her that it was impossible.

She naturally knew that Xu Qing and Hu Meiren were having an affair, but she didn't stop them because she considered it a fun way to tease Hu Meiren.

However, she had a bottom line in this game: she would not allow Hu Meiren to defile Xu Qing. In her heart, Xu Qing was a unique prey, and how could she allow other women to defile him?

Moreover, Hu Meiren played a crucial role in her life, and she would never allow the two of them to have any real relationship. She had warned them more than once, but the two adulterers still ended up together.

This situation, which was out of her control, took away her previous enjoyment and instead made her angry.

"Madam, it's me."

After Xu Qing finished dressing, he tried to explain with an awkward smile, but before he could speak, he was met with a cold look from the Tide Demoness, and could only swallow his words.

Seeing the scene outside, Consort Hu, who was on the bed, gave up on wearing her palace robes and simply put on a thin white veil before walking out from behind the curtains.

Since she had already been captured by the Tide Demoness, she might as well just give up and not bother hiding anything anymore.

With her bare feet touching the cold floor, Hu Meiren walked up to Chao Nuyao.

Chao Nu Yao looked at the two despicable people in front of her, her anger intensified, her chest heaving. Seeing Hu Meiren's fearless expression, she laughed in exasperation.

"It seems my sister isn't going to explain anything, is she?" the Tide Demoness said coldly.

“Madam, you’ve seen everything you should and shouldn’t have seen, so there’s no need for me to explain. I was in the wrong first; I seduced Xu Lang,” Hu Meiren said, bowing her head.

Xu Qing looked at Hu Meiren, who was taking all the blame upon herself. As a man, how could he back down at this moment? Just as he was about to speak, Chao Nu Yao spoke first.

"What, does the Imperial Physician have something to say? Are you going to say that all of this is your fault and has nothing to do with Consort Hu?"

As Chao Nu Yao spoke, she got up and walked to Hu Meiren's side, reaching out her small hand to pinch Hu Meiren's chin and lift her head up.

"Madam, it's me."

Xu Qing hesitated for a long time but ultimately remained silent. He knew that the more he spoke at this moment, the angrier the Tide Demon would become.

Dark clouds obscured the sun, making the room even dimmer and more gloomy. It should have been a dark and gloomy environment, but the lingering fragrance in the air gave it a dim and ambiguous feel.

"Sister, your appearance is truly pitiful; no wonder some people can't resist your temptation," the Tide Demoness said softly.

Smelling the lingering fragrance in the air, if it weren't for maintaining her image, she would have directly called her a slut.

On her turf, having sex with her man and even using her incense for amusement—is there no law?! Do they really think she's a fool?!
Compared to my sister, I am nothing but a willow branch.

Hu Meiren's fox-tailed eyes held a hint of grievance, and her delicate face showed disappointment, making her look like a little white flower being bullied by an unreasonable woman.

Seeing Hu Meiren's scheming behavior, Chao Nu Yao's lips curled up slightly, her eyes flashing with cold light.

You slut! You're still playing the victim at this point. Since you want to play the victim, how can I not oblige you?
As she spoke, the Tide Demoness gathered purple inner energy in her left hand, her eyes flashing with purple light, and an alluring fragrance wafted toward Hu Meiren's nostrils.
