There is a god in the sky

Chapter 184 Sowing Discord 1

The lively scene on the pleasure boat had nothing to do with Shen Lan.

The decadent music was so soothing, and it was a mystery where these people got so much energy to drink and have fun without showing any signs of fatigue.

Once everything was quiet, Shen Lan followed Tong Juntao and entered the cabin on the first floor with him and Qiu Yu.

The ship is very large; the second floor is a banquet hall, while the first floor consists of individual private rooms.

Every boudoir is a place of ecstasy for men, where intimate sounds can be heard from time to time.

Tong Juntao walked unsteadily, holding his beauty and saying, "Tonight, let's do something different."

Shen Lan saw that the girl was trembling and pale, but still tried to be polite: "Please have pity on Qiu Yu, young master."

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of you."

Before entering the room, Qiu Yu saw Shen Lan following behind her and assumed that she wanted to climb into bed and replace her, so she quickly pulled her into the room.

While Tong Juntao was washing up, Qiu Yu teased Shen Lan, "You want to serve Young Master Tong?"

Shen Lan nodded. "Would you be willing to give him to me, young lady?"

"Hmph, that's not something I can decide, but I can give you a chance."

She took off her coat and draped it over Shen Lan, then stuffed all the gold and silver hairpins from her hair into Shen Lan's head.

Whether you can seize the opportunity depends on yourself. Remember, don't make a sound!

Before leaving, Qiu Yu blew out the candles and then ran out to close the hair salon door tightly.

She pressed her hand to her chest and let out a long breath, secretly laughing: Fool! Seeking his own death!

Shen Lan sprinkled a packet of medicinal powder into the incense burner, and the scent inside instantly changed.

When Tong Juntao came out, he saw the beauty sitting on the edge of the bed and impatiently ordered, "Why are you just sitting there? Come over and help me undress!"

Shen Lan got up and walked over. As she raised her hand, a cold glint flashed at her fingertips.

She inserted several silver needles into Tong Juntao's acupoints, causing his whole body to go numb, and then asked softly, "Young master, does it feel good?"

Tong Juntao felt a little lightheaded for a moment, which was even more exhilarating than drinking.

"Not bad... You seem much more enthusiastic tonight."

Shen Lan grabbed his arm and led him to the bed, asking him questions one by one, which he answered without hesitation.

Just as Shen Lan had expected, he knew far too little.

"Was anyone in the Tong family in imminent danger eleven years ago?"

"I can't remember, how old was I eleven years ago?"

Shen Lan had also investigated and found that the Tong family had been doing well all these years, and she hadn't heard of anyone having health problems.

Are there any elderly family members who take medication regularly?

"No."

Tong Juntao, still half asleep, grabbed Shen Lan's hand and mumbled, "Beauty, why are you talking so much? Come here."

Shen Lan withdrew her hand and removed the silver needles from his body.

"Young master must be tired, go to sleep."

Tong Juntao instantly fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Lan took off her clothes and threw them aside, then planned to jump out of the window.

She glanced back at the man on the bed, her brows furrowing slightly, then returned, hoisted him onto her shoulder, and carried him away.

She moored a small boat near the flower shop.

There are many small boats on the river, but that boat is completely inconspicuous.

But how could she possibly bring such a large, living person onto the ship?

"You've got some nerve, trying to take Young Master Tong hostage?" a soft voice questioned from behind.

Shen Lan instinctively swung her knife, the thin blade resting against Qiu Yu's neck.

"You've been staring at me?"

Qiu Yu snorted coldly.

Although she hoped someone would take her place, she couldn't bear to see the little girl suffer, so she stayed outside the house.

There was no sound from inside the room, so she assumed Tong Juntao was drunk.

Just as he was about to leave with a clear conscience, he heard the sound of a window opening, and then he saw that the little girl was actually carrying Young Master Tong and trying to jump into the river.

"You're not a maid on the ship, so who are you?"

"If you attract others, don't blame me for killing you to silence you," Shen Lan threatened her.

Shen Lan reached out and touched Tong Juntao's chest and belt, then took out a purse and tossed it to her.

"Take this, and pretend you didn't see me tonight."

"I'm afraid he'll seek revenge on me when he wakes up."

"If you can help me leave, I can make sure he won't have time to come looking for you again."

Qiu Yu's eyes lit up. "Really? You're going to kill him?"

"Don't worry about it."

Qiu Yu nodded emphatically, "Okay, you must keep your word!"

She really didn't want to endure Tong Juntao's humiliation any longer; she was better off without this cash cow.

She jumped into the water, swam to Shen Lan's small boat, and rowed it over.

After Shen Lan got the person onto the boat, she was shivering from the cold, but she still grabbed Shen Lan and said, "You need to think carefully, he is a member of the Tong family!"

"Remember to empty the ashes from the incense burner after you go back inside."

The small boat rocked and swayed as it left the Bian River.

Qiu Yu carefully returned to the house. The open window had already dissipated the smell. She did as instructed and poured the ashes into the river, then stared blankly for a while.

Tong Juntao's attendant was drunk and asleep in another room. If he didn't see his young master when he woke up tomorrow morning, he might make things difficult for him.

Qiu Yu hardened her heart, lashed herself several times with the whip, and then fell to the ground pretending to faint.

The following day was the day when all government offices opened for roll call.

Suddenly someone screamed, pointing at the stone lion in front of the Ministry of Revenue's office and asking, "Is there a person on that?"

The stone lions at the Ministry of Revenue were very large, as tall as a person.

At this moment, the stone lion was surrounded by people who watched as a naked man lay on top of it.

Not only that, he was also holding someone in his arms.

"Who is it? Is it not exciting enough to sit under the open sky? Do they also have to defile the stone lions of our government office?"

"What bad luck!"

"They're probably an adulterous couple!"

"Someone, quickly go up and get him down."

Despite the loud noise, the people upstairs didn't wake up. Someone asked fearfully, "Could they have frozen to death?"

In this freezing weather, lying naked on the cold stone lion, it's normal to freeze to death.

Two officers climbed up, grabbed the man's legs from both sides, and pulled him down.

He had barely turned over when someone recognized him.

"This...isn't this the second son of the Minister's family?"

"Quick! Get me a cotton-padded coat, or I'll catch a cold!"

Liu Engui took off his cloak and draped it over Tong Juntao, then ordered, "Quickly, go and fetch a doctor!"

He straightened up and saw the officials carrying a woman down.

The woman was wearing an undergarment, but the front was wide open, revealing half of her bodice.

Liu Engui's heart skipped a beat, his palms sweated, and he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

How could this be? How did his concubine end up here?

He swallowed hard, his expression extremely unpleasant, but he dared not retaliate.

This concubine was an orphan girl he rescued on his way to the capital. She was beautiful and had a seductive figure, and he couldn't resist taking her for himself.

He had official business to attend to last night and did not go to the concubine's courtyard. He didn't even know when she had started an affair with the Second Young Master Tong.

What a pair of adulterers!

Liu Engui clenched his fists tightly, his eyes bloodshot, wishing he could kill the two bastards on the spot.

But he couldn't and dared not.

He took a deep breath and thought to himself: Fortunately, none of his colleagues have seen her. As long as he doesn't admit it, no one will know that he has been cuckolded.
