Baili Furen has prepared a lowly woman. She would then stage a scene where they would pa.s.s by at Baili Chen's courtyard and witness him torturing the woman to disgust the Furens and their daughters. She would then order Baili Chen to take the woman as his concubine in order to save the reputation of the Baili family.

But… what had gone wrong?

Where was the woman?

Why was Baili Chen in the verge of death?

What happened?

Everything was different!!

Because someone screamed that Baili Chen's b.u.t.thole had been damaged, Baili Furen could no longer hide everything unless she wanted to destroy their family's reputation. She had to save their face at all cost! Thus, Baili Furen had to make sure to give an ample of explanation to avoid such gossip.

When a servant ran outside, Baili Furen obstructed his path.

"What had happened? Did Young Master Chen encounter an a.s.sa.s.sin that was why he was bleeding?"

The servant shook his head.

"R-reporting to Furen… Y-Young Master.. Young Master Chen did not… did not encounter an a.s.sa.s.sin… This servant… This servant saw Young Master Chen and thinks that Young Master Chen has been m-molested and was tortured painfully."

'"NONESENSE!!!! How dare you speak such words?!" Baili Furen screamed. She suddenly regretted asking the servant. She did not expect that the servant was stupid enough to blurt those nasty words.

The servant realized his mistake but it was already too late. Such a sensitive information, but he said everything in front of the guest. It would not only tarnish Baili Chen's reputation, it would also bring Baili family's face to shame!

"T-This servant .. This servant is---"

"Drag him away."

Baili Furen waved her hand and ordered the servant to be dragged away.

"Go and call a physician. Your Young Master Chen has been wounded by an a.s.sa.s.sin."

Two male servants nodded and left in order to call the physician while the other one went away to alert the guards.

Baili Furen turned her head and looked at the female guests. Acting like she did not hear the servant's previous words, Baili Furen smiled apologetically towards them.

Her ashen face was full of worry but she managed to create a smile.

"This Furen would like to apologize. This Furen would like to ask all of you to leave. My brother in law has almost a.s.sa.s.sinated. The injury must have been very grave that it even confused the servants. Only a physician could tell the truth but since it was already late, it was not proper for young ladies to remain here. This Furen will invite all of you once again in the near future." Baili Furen's hidden words were very clear and the Furens knew that it was pointless to remain there thus, after giving some words of encouragement, they left one by one.

Baili Furen's eyes sharpened when the last guest left.

"Bring me inside!"

---------

Only a day pa.s.sed and another rumor started circulating around the capital. The young and talented man, Baili Chen was molested in his own courtyard. No one knew who released the rumor but it had been said that the main culprit was the man who was terrorizing men in the past few days. If the rumor was true, it would only mean that Baili Chen was the only one who successfully escaped being killed after being tortured to death.

Those who hated Baili Chen could not help but laugh out loud. A man with great talent was subjected like a wh.o.r.e. Others could not help but mock the Baili residence because of their weak security.

Such shame!
