Chapter 34

A Toad Lusting Over A Swan

In an instant, Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao made eye contact from afar.

Neither of them was wearing anything.

Bai Wutong was really unprepared. The moment she saw Chu Tianbao, her mind buzzed.

When she suddenly reacted and squatted into the water, it was too late.

Chu Tianbao’s deep eyes had already locked onto her.

Bai Wutong’s snow-white skin was faintly discernible in the water. It was unknown if it was because she was angry or because she had soaked in warm water, but it was glowing with an alluring pink color.

Chu Tianbao involuntarily took a step towards Bai Wutong.

Bai Wutong panicked for a moment and shouted anxiously, “Don’t come over!”

Bai Wutong’s sudden shout at him caused Chu Tianbao to freeze in the white jade pool, and a look of grievance gradually appeared on his bearded face.

Bai Wutong did not have the time to care if he was aggrieved or not. She shouted again, “Turn around!”

Chu Tianbao turned around reluctantly. Bai Wutong immediately got up from the water, picked up the clothes she had prepared, and quickly put them on. Then, ahe walked towards Chu Tianbao’s bath.

She glanced coldly at the maidservant, who was trembling in fear in the water with only a piece of undergarment. She pulled an outerwear from the side and covered Chu Tianbao’s head, then said coldly to the maidservant, “Get out!”

At the same time, when Lin Yue heard the commotion, he also led his people to surround the bathroom and shouted, “Madam, what happened?”

Bai Wutong said coldly, “Don’t come in. Wait outside the door.”

When the bold maidservant heard Bai Wutong’s words, she truly regretted it at this moment.

Even if Bai Wutong was an ugly woman, she was still the legitimate wife and could completely deal with her as she pleased.

She glanced at Chu Tianbao, who was motionless in the water with the outerwear on his head. She pursed her pale lips and reluctantly moved towards the shore.

Bai Wutong waited for her to put on her clothes and brought her to the side room for questioning.

Bai Wutong looked at the woman kneeling on the ground expressionlessly. Her posture was like a weak willow supporting its waist and she looked quite alluring.

No wonder she was confident enough to sneak into the white jade pool behind her back and seduce Chu Tianbao.

Bai Wutong recalled Chu Tianbao’s expression at that time and her face turned even colder. “What’s your name?”

The maidservant replied carefully, “Madam, my name is Qing Yi.”

“Qing Yi?” Bai Wutong said her name unhurriedly.

The woman, who looked even uglier than a village woman, made Qing Yi’s back turn cold.

What was even more unexpected was that she went straight to the point. “You want to be my husband’s concubine?”

Qing Yi was stunned. She did want to be Chu Tianbao’s woman, but she wanted to be more than just a concubine. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m

Unfortunately, she had failed.

When Chu Tianbao saw her emerge from the water, he panicked as though he had seen a viper.

She thought that since she had already alarmed Bai Wutong, she might as well take the initiative and let Chu Tianbao see what a real woman should look like. However, she did not expect Chu Tianbao, who had a strong dislike for her, to throw her, causing her to hit the screen with a bang.

Even now, she felt a dull pain all over her body.

Qing Yi did not reply and secretly glanced at Bai Wutong. She really could not understand why a strong man like Chu Tianbao would not be interested in women at all. The image of Bai Wutong’s graceful figure standing quietly in the water suddenly flashed across her mind. An indescribable jealousy mixed with disdain flowed out. Didn’t most legitimate wives rely on lowly methods too? How much better could she be?

Bai Wutong caught the flash of disdain in her eyes. She knocked on the table, losing her patience. She said to the outside, “Someone, drag her away and sell her.”

Lin Yue brought his men in. When he saw the maidservant kneeling on the ground, his face instantly darkened.

Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao were their young master’s great benefactors. If there was a rift caused between them because of this, he would be at fault.

He looked at Bai Wutong apologetically and said to the guards, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and pull her out!”

Qing Yi immediately looked up in panic. With the chaos of war, a large number of refugees were blocking the city gate. There were people starving to death every day. If she were sold, she would definitely die.

She had never suffered since she entered this large courtyard. Even if she was sold to someone else, there would not be a better job.

She opened her pitiful eyes and begged fearfully, “Madam, I know my mistake. I won’t dare to do it again. Please spare me this time. As long as you don’t sell me out, I won’t have any complaints about being a servant in the firewood room.”

Bai Wutong sneered. “Is it unfair for a servant like you to stay in the fireroom room? Do as you are tasked in your position. If you’re a girl who can’t even keep her job, it’s just a waste of food to keep you.”

Qing Yi’s mind was filled with thoughts, and she finally found a dignified excuse. “No, Madam. I just want to help you resolve your problems. Even without me, there will be countless despicable people who want to seduce Master. As long as I help Madam stabilize Master, Master will always be yours. No one can be a threat to your status, because I will always listen to you.”

How ridiculous was it for a mistress to help the main wife capture her husband’s heart and even claim that it was for the sake of the main wife!

Who gave her the courage?

The corners of Bai Wutong’s mouth curled up, but her eyes were like ice that would not melt for ten thousand years.

Qing Yi shivered and suppressed her fear before saying, “It’s true, Madam. My original intention was all for you.”

From the moment she saw the ugly Bai Wutong, she was certain that she was a countryside woman who had somehow lucked out. As long as she charmed Chu Tianbao, even if she could not become his wife, she would definitely be able to suppress Bai Wutong’s arrogance.

Who would have thought that even if Chu Tianbao did not take the bait, Bai Wutong was not an easy country woman to fool.

Bai Wutong suddenly stood up and took something out of her bag. She handed it to her. “I think what you said is a good idea. Since you promise to always listen to me, eat it.”

It was obvious that the dark-skinned item was no good.

Qing Yi’s eyes widened in fear, and her eyes instantly flowed out. She said fearfully, “Madam, I’m really someone who’s obedient.”

“Obedient?” Bai Wutong sneered. “Why won’t you eat if you’re obedient?”

Qing Yi’s eyes were red from crying and she was still looking for an excuse. “If I eat it and my body weakens, it will be difficult for me to help Madam capture Master’s heart, so I can’t eat it.”

Bai Wutong’s horizons were broadened. There was actually such a shameless person in the world.

Didn’t she think that she had a chance because Bai Wutong was ugly?

In that case, Bai Wutong wanted her to see clearly what it meant to be a toad lusting after a swan.

Chu Tianbao secretly hid behind the side door. Bai Wutong waved at him and he immediately jumped in front of her at lightning speed. His deep eyes were burning.

Bai Wutong asked, “Tianbao, who’s your wife?”

Chu Tianbao said without hesitation, “My wife is you!”

Bai Wutong pointed at Qing Yi on the ground and asked, “Are you willing to let her be your wife? If you’re willing, I’ll keep her.”
