Chapter 43: The Secret of the Young Lady

The two were afraid of being embarrassed if seen, so they chose to walk in secluded places with few people. Suddenly, Xing Shuyu grabbed Meng'er, made a gesture to keep quiet, and then pulled Meng'er quickly behind a clump of reeds. Meng'er didn't understand why, but she held her breath and tightly held Xing Shuyu's hand. She knew that Xing Shuyu knew kung fu, and seeing her alert look, she also became nervous.

Soon, footsteps were heard approaching from afar. The person walking in front was actually the Third Young Master, followed closely by his wife. The wife kept pulling at the Third Young Master's sleeve, but was pushed away by him. The Third Young Master's wife had no choice but to take a step forward and hugged the Third Young Master's arm tightly, begging, "Can't you just listen to me? I know you blame me and hate me, but what can I do? I'm just a woman, and I'm just too afraid of losing you. I know I've always been wrong, but what can I do? If I don't listen to him, he...he will threaten to tell others, and I dare not let you know. I'm worried every day that you won't want me anymore. I'm living a life worse than death. Husband, please consider our relationship..."

The Third Young Master did not move, but slowly pulled his arm out, saying calmly: "It was indeed not your fault in the beginning, but you have been lying to me for the past three years. You never believed me at all. He was threatening you. If you just tell me, I will kill him immediately. How can I blame you?"

The young lady laughed bitterly, "You won't blame me? Haha, my newlywed wife gave her body to someone else. Haha, a man would not tolerate that. You men let the wolf into the house, and the unlucky ones are the women. You believed the lies of preaching in the bridal chamber. If you knew it at that time, I'm afraid you would have given me a divorce letter immediately."

The Third Young Master frowned and said, "You still don't believe me. Can you handle such a big thing by yourself? I'm just surprised that you were so depressed after being pregnant for three months. The baby was obviously stable, but it was aborted just like that. Humph, you also know that it's a bad seed."

The young lady's face was pale, and her voice was very creepy: "Yes, how could I want his bastard child? I hate him so much, he forces me again and again, I... I don't want to go with him. I thought about scratching my face. If it weren't for this face, how could he keep pestering me? He is powerful, I can't kill him, what can I do, I am just a woman, I just want him to let me go one day, and then we can live a good life."

The Third Young Master sighed slowly: "But I still found out. In fact, I never doubted you. It's just that when I saw you were worried every day, I wanted to help you solve your troubles. I didn't expect to find out so many things. The Sanyang Sect, humph, are just the remnants of the White Lotus. I must avenge them." The Third Young Master gritted his teeth, and the four words "remnants of the White Lotus" sounded extremely vicious.

The Third Young Master's wife chuckled, and Meng'er suddenly felt a chill. She laughed and said, "You despise me, haha, how many women in these villages have not been abused by them? Your sister-in-law, your sister, and the other wives who came to the village in recent years, all of them lived in humiliation. Remember the new wife last year? She died before the ritual was completed. She died of shame and anger, but you still believed the words of the great wizard, saying that she was possessed by an evil spirit and could not be driven away. If you don't kill her, it may bring disaster to the whole village. You also have to use the Three Flavors True Fire to burn her body. It's so obvious to destroy the body, and you still thanked her profusely and raised a large sum of money."

The Third Young Master said angrily: "If you had told the truth earlier, how many innocent people could have been saved!"

The Third Young Master's wife said coldly, "What about before me? Did anyone come to save me?" Then she added with some sarcasm, "So what if you found out? Why didn't you kill him? What else can you do besides venting your anger on a woman? Ha, a man can do what you have done..."

The Third Young Master left with a flick of his sleeves, leaving behind only a few words floating in the wind: "If you had any sense of shame, you would have said all this a long time ago..."

Two lines of clear tears flowed from the eyes of the Third Young Master's wife, and she was heard murmuring to the Third Young Master's back: "Do you want me to die? You treat me like this, so why should I be afraid of being ruined? Well, I can't live anymore. As you wish, I will tell this to others and see how many more families will be broken up." The Third Young Master didn't hear the rest of the words because he had already walked away.

Meng'er was stunned. She had lost consciousness when the reeds were blown onto her face. Xing Shuyu was the same as her. The Third Young Master and his wife had left long ago, but the two of them were still standing there stupidly. There was only darkness and the rustling of the reeds in the wind around them. They didn't know how they got back to the room. None of them spoke along the way. Meng'er roughly understood the conversation just now, and Xing Shuyu also understood most of it. It was just that it was too horrifying, and involved many obscure issues for the two girls. They didn't know how to start talking, and could only walk back in silence.

Xing Shuyu was a person who could not hold back, but she did not dare to tell anyone about this, so she had to go to Meng'er to tell him about it. She felt that Meng'er, at her age, would definitely not understand what the Third Young Master's wife said, so she just kept talking to herself in front of her. She chattered for a while and then frowned, walking back and forth in circles. At this time, she inadvertently looked up at Meng'er and saw that Meng'er was listening to her with her big eyes blinking. When she met Meng'er's eyes, she suddenly felt that Meng'er seemed to understand. Meng'er had also sorted out the context of this matter in the past two days. Xing Shuyu grew up in the green forest and knew a lot about the underworld gangs. Meng'er listened to her chattering for two days, and the things she did not understand before gradually became clear to her. This matter was probably like this: the White Lotus Sect used the bridal chamber to preach, and slept with the bride. If he had killed the bride, he would probably have found a way to make her cover up her lie afterwards. The groom would have been completely unaware of the incident, so the bride would naturally not say anything, and the matter would have passed. However, this young lady was quite pretty, and that bastard from the White Lotus Sect had no professional ethics, and would not let her go afterwards. He threatened the young lady with revealing the matter to others. How could the young lady dare to let the Third Young Master know? But she could not kill this man, so she had to obey his manipulations again and again, and in the meantime she even became pregnant with this man's child. Ah, it's so bloody, no wonder the Third Young Master was so cold to his wife. Meng'er thought it was no wonder, but there was one thing, what if this matter was exposed by the Third Young Master's wife? She would be willing to give it up, but what about other families? How many men could tolerate such a thing? How many wives and children would be broken up by then?

Xing Shuyu now pulled Meng'er to have a detailed chat. She and Meng'er thought similarly. After the two of them supplemented each other, they basically got it right. Xing Shuyu sat on Meng'er's bed and shook her head and sighed continuously. Meng'er pointed at Zaihou who was sleeping soundly and asked her not to make any noise. Xing Shuyu looked outside the door and saw that there was no one, so she lowered her voice and said, "I couldn't figure out why the Third Young Master and his men were recruiting people everywhere. It turned out that they wanted to deal with the White Lotus Sect. My family's village is in the mountains. My father was worried that there were bad guys in the village, so he entrusted my mother and me to the Third Young Master. In addition to my family, the Third Young Master also recruited many capable people from the three mountains and five peaks. But I heard that the White Lotus Sect has been operating for hundreds of years, and the court can't do anything about it. Even if the Third Young Master recruits people from the mountains, can he still beat the court's troops? Moreover, I heard that the leaders of the three major villages in Poyang all obey the orders of a great magician. Although the Third Young Master has recruited some people, most of them are still stubborn. Alas, it's difficult!"

Even Meng'er, a modern person who traveled through time and space, has heard of the name of the White Lotus Sect. However, she only knows that it is a cult, but she has no idea what kind of evil it is. However, she knows that during the Ming Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect did not cause much trouble. She has heard that the Tianli Sect during the Qing Dynasty almost attacked the Forbidden City, and it is also said that the Tianli Sect came from the White Lotus Sect. Anyway, the characteristic of the White Lotus Sect is that it specializes in treason, and every time a rebellion fails, it changes its name, but the substance remains the same. The Third Young Master has checked and found that this is clearly the remnant of the White Lotus Sect. They cannot be fooled by changing their name.
