Day n of not wanting to be a kept man's canary

"Just playing around? She's the first woman you've had a real relationship with!"

Rumors circulated that Leng Tingye was unrestrained and a womanizer, but those were just rumors.

"Besides, if you do it twice, it's hard not to suspect that you're not interested in her!"

"Interested?" Leng Tingye laughed frivolously. "With my brother's fiancée, that would be super exciting!"

The man's debauchery and womanizing were on full display at this moment.

Zhong Yu was puzzled. "Just because she's Leng Changqing's fiancée?"

Leng Tingye's face suddenly turned cold, his eyes narrowed, and his tone was devoid of any warmth, "Because it's fun!"

The chilling tone sent shivers down Zhong Yu's spine. He felt worried for Miss Mu; of all people to provoke, she had to pick on this deadly one.

She'll have her comeuppance!

……

East Garden.

Leng Changlin sat at the dining table, still thinking about what happened last night.

Tang Yu gestured for the maid to leave, then carefully ladled a bowl of abalone porridge and handed it to him, asking, "What are you thinking about, husband?"

Leng Changlin took the bowl, his brows furrowed. "This is really strange. We've searched every room in Nanyuan, but we haven't seen a single person. We haven't seen the people who were guarding outside either. Could they have vanished into thin air?"

His original plan was to use Mu Yanxin to keep Leng Tingye around and then assassinate him to eliminate any future trouble, but unexpectedly...

Tang Yu took Leng Changlin's hand and said gently, "Don't worry too much. He probably doesn't know the cause of his parents' death, and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to find his way here!"

"What's going on with the second wife's side?"

Tang Yu was also puzzled, "Last night when Leng Changqing came home, Mu Yanxin was sleeping soundly, and I heard that it even disturbed Second Aunt!"

The call was made by Tang Yu from an unfamiliar number. Her purpose was to get Leng Changqing to discover that Leng Tingye and Mu Yanxin were having an affair, so as to escalate the conflict between the second wife and Leng Tingye.

Leng Changlin looked worried. "It seems he came prepared!"

"What is the relationship between Changqing's fiancée and Leng Tingye? Why wasn't the cruel and violent Leng Tingye thrown out?" Tang Yu asked, puzzled.

"Go to the West Courtyard later!" Leng Changlin said thoughtfully.

Tang Yu understood immediately, "Yes!"

Mu Yanxin had just finished washing up and came downstairs when she saw Tang Yu talking to Feng Yaqin. Tang Yu greeted her warmly, "Second sister-in-law, good morning! Did you sleep well last night?"

Tang Yu acted as if nothing had happened, still smiling gently and harmlessly, making it impossible to connect her with the vicious woman who had drugged her the night before.

Mu Yanxin felt disgusted by this wolfish smile and really wanted to expose her.

But if she were exposed, how would she explain what happened last night? Feng Yaqin already had a negative feeling towards her, so she definitely wouldn't believe her.

"What are you standing there for? Don't you know how to greet people?"

Suppressing her emotions, Mu Yanxin asked, "What are you doing here?"

Feng Yaqin rolled her eyes in disdain, "How dare you talk to your sister-in-law like that? You're from a humble family, don't you have any manners at all?"

Now that the eldest son's family is in power, Feng Yaqin is exceptionally enthusiastic towards Tang Yu.

"It's alright, Auntie. Oh, by the way, I'm here to bring breakfast to my sister-in-law."

Feng Yaqin said with dissatisfaction, "Why send her breakfast? As a daughter-in-law, she gets up later than me, her mother-in-law, in the morning. She has no manners at all!"

In order to marry into the Leng family, she was forced to climb into Leng Changqing's bed. In Feng Yaqin's eyes, she was a woman who would do anything to marry into a wealthy family.

Tang Yu put on a kind face and said, "Second Aunt, please don't say that. Second Sister-in-law probably got up late because she was injured yesterday."

Feng Yaqin retorted irritably, "What injuries could she possibly have suffered?"

Mu Yanxin had no idea what Tang Yu was up to, and a sense of foreboding crept into her heart.

Sure enough, Tang Yu came over and kindly pulled her to sit down. "Second sister-in-law, let me see if your wound has healed?"

She smiled gently, as if nothing had happened last night.

Mu Yanxin really wanted to confront her and ask why she had drugged her, but with Feng Yaqin present, she could only suppress her anger and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sister-in-law, I'm fine now!"

"Second sister-in-law, please don't stand on ceremony!"

Watching her hypocritical performance, Mu Yanxin suppressed her disgust, but she couldn't expose her.

Seeing this, Feng Yaqin scolded, "Your sister-in-law is just concerned about you, don't be ungrateful! Or is there something you're ashamed of?"

She was wearing a Chinese-style long dress, and Tang Yu gently lifted the dress up to her knees.

There are indeed injuries on the knees, and in addition to the knees, there are dense bruises spreading to the parts that haven't been exposed.

Anyone could tell what it was, but fortunately, Feng Yaqin's view was blocked by Tang Yu.

Knowing that Tang Yu had no good intentions, she begged the man not to leave any traces last night. The man took pity on her and indeed left no traces on her upper body, but her lower body was a gruesome sight!

Leng Changqing happened to be coming downstairs when he witnessed this scene.

Tang Yu glanced at Leng Changqing out of the corner of her eye and teased him with ill intent, "It seems you and Changqing have a very good relationship."

"Alright, now that I see my sister-in-law is alright, I'll head back now!"

Song Yaqin saw Tang Yu out.

The shameful marks on the woman's fair and tender legs instantly enraged Leng Changqing. "You slut, which wild man left those marks on you? You went off to fool around with that wild man again?"

Men often don't feel guilty when they're having affairs, but if a woman does something to betray a man, it's considered a grave offense.

Mu Yanxin straightened her clothes, offered no explanation, and simply smiled.

Originally expecting an explanation from Mu Yanxin, Leng Changqing was even angrier than he expected her attitude. "What the hell are you laughing at?"

Mu Yanxin glanced at him dismissively, "I laugh at you for being so easily fooled by a few words."

Leng Changqing's expression wasn't as bad as before. Seeing this, Mu Yanxin continued, "Can't you see what your sister-in-law is trying to do?"

Leng Changqing seemed to be deep in thought. The eldest and second wives had always been outwardly friendly but inwardly at odds, each with their own private schemes. They only maintained a superficial harmony on the surface. Tang Yu's delivery of breakfast today was indeed unexpected.

"You mean she deliberately came to sow discord between us?"

Mu Yanxin nodded.

Leng Changqing was skeptical. "Then why did she come to sow discord between us?"

"Of course it's because of the heir. My eldest brother and sister-in-law still don't have children, and Old Master Leng has yet to determine an heir."

Leng Changqing suddenly realized, "I knew my sister-in-law was being so kind."

Fortunately, she was wary of Tang Yu and had already thought of a way to deal with him, so her tense nerves finally relaxed.

"Then what happened to the bruises on your legs?" Leng Changqing asked.

Mu Yanxin lowered her head shyly and said, "I..."

Leng Changqing instantly understood that this was a woman's way of creating the illusion of a harmonious married life. How cunning! She had deliberately made herself look like this in order to cover it up!

But then she remembered something, turned around and pointed at Mu Yanxin, humiliating her, "You wouldn't be using this opportunity to try and get me to have your child, would you!"

Mu Yanxin, “…”

"Stop your fucking delusions! Don't think I'll actually marry you. The only person I've ever loved is An'an. I'll only have children with An'an. When the time is right, I'll cancel the engagement!"

After saying that, he answered a phone call and went out.

Mu Yanxin finally breathed a long sigh of relief; this matter had finally been smoothed over.

The phone rang, and a middle-aged woman's voice came from the other end.

"Go home!"
