The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1551 - 1550: There Will Be More

Wang Han still wanted to curse Tang Rao a few more times, thinking that cursing was useless since Tang Rao had already taken advantage of her. She came to deliver a message; now that the message was delivered, was Tang Rao going to show no gratitude? At least he should praise her a little or tell Wang Han how he truly felt about Qin Qing and Chun Ping."Speaking of which, with the evidence against Qin Qing and Chun Ping being irrefutable, how do you plan to deal with them?"

Before getting involved with Tang Rao, Wang Han didn't really care whether Tang Rao would be willing to act against his women, but after their involvement, she unexpectedly started worrying about Tang Rao's safety.

No matter how skilled he was, he was in the open while Qin Qing and her maid were in the shadows. How would he know when Qin Qing would make her move again or who she might ally with?

With these repeated assassination attempts, there would surely be a time when they'd succeed without Tang Rao noticing.

If Tang Rao were to die, who would she hold accountable?

Tang Rao reached out and pulled a strand of Wang Han's hair hanging by her ear to his nose and sniffed it twice. Every time he approached Wang Han, he felt that this woman was cold and distant, not at all welcoming. Yet, after they had just gotten to know each other inside and out, his opinion of Wang Han suddenly changed.

She wasn't cold to everyone, at least not to Tang Rao. The passion from earlier was something he was still savoring.

"Just like last time, the one who acted and the one who sent messages has always been her maid. If she's willing to give up one, she'd be willing to give up a second. When fishing, you have to aim for the big ones; you mustn't be hasty. You know the saying: 'Haste makes waste'?"

After saying that, he started using both his hands and feet on Wang Han again, making her feel a tingling sensation all over her body.

Wang Han understood what Tang Rao meant, and not only did she understand, but she was also somewhat exasperated.

She hated that all she could catch were the maid's weaknesses, yet she couldn't catch Qin Qing.

If this had happened on the West Island, Wang Han would have killed the suspected person without a second thought, and no one would dare say anything more. But this was the North Island, in Purple Thorn City of Tingzhou. Every member of the Kao Shan Sect had ties to Tang Rao, from the time she helped Tang Rao establish his authority in the sect; she felt the subconscious rejection from every person inside. With every person in the Kao Shan Sect who disliked her, she faced another obstacle when collecting evidence. The days ahead wouldn't be as easy as she imagined.

"I know some things can't be rushed, but with someone like that by your side, can you really be at ease?"

Wang Han couldn't call the shots herself, so it was time for Tang Rao to clear his name. But as it seemed, the eunuch was more anxious than the emperor, making Wang Han not know how to continue.

"Actually, there is still evidence; it just depends on how that person inadvertently exposes themselves. Why don't we wait a while longer? Besides that maid and her mistress, even the big fish that has taken the bait now, I promise you, we'll catch them all in one go soon!"

The promise that came from Tang Rao's own mouth finally served as a reassurance, settling Wang Han's heart. Wang Han listened and nodded repeatedly. As for what Tang Rao had just said about evidence, Wang Han didn't dwell on it. Sooner or later, she'd find out the answer, so she wasn't in a rush.

Ever since Wang Han became favored by Tang Rao, everyone in the backyard was on edge. They all thought that since Tang Rao had a new affection, he was bound to forget the old love.

For someone like Li Shengxuan, who had a son, losing Tang Rao's favor meant she at least had a son to keep her company. But women like Hong Xiu and Jinxiu, who had been with Tang Rao for years yet bore no fruit, felt they were about to lose their luster in the backyard. Saying they weren't afraid would be a lie, but what could they do?

Previously, these sisters would come and go together, but after Wang Han's involvement, they rarely went out as a group of more than two or three. More often, they went out alone, and as for where they went or what they did, it wasn't as openly communicated as before, as if the sisterhood they had shown was all fake.

"Sister Hongxiu, our backyard sisters aren't as united as they seemed before. Perhaps everyone is busy, and we have too little time to gather. Now it's so hard to find someone to confide in. Why don't we find a reason to get together?"

Li Shengxuan, as she always did, came to Tu Hongxiu first with her thoughts, but this time, Tu Hongxiu, looking troubled, said, "Sister Shengxuan, have you forgotten who is now in charge of our backyard? You're right; it's been a long time since we've found a reason to have a tea party. But do you know why no one brings up such previously beloved events anymore? It's because the person in charge of the backyard has changed. Anyone who suggests a tea party would be openly opposing that person."

Back when Tang Rao hadn't favored that woman, Wang Han wasn't threatening to them yet. But now that Wang Han was favored, the original rules about sharing favor seemed to have dissipated since she and Tang Rao's first encounter. Tang Rao seemed eager to reside in Wang Han's courtyard; he didn't even care about the intricately decorated Water Bamboo Platform being overgrown with weeds. With all his focus sunk into Wang Han's charm, no matter how much the women talked, it wouldn't reach his heart.

This backyard, this Kao Shan Sect, mustn't be ruined by a single woman.

The more Tu Hongxiu thought about it, the more tense she became.

Since Wang Han's arrival, she hadn't had a good night's sleep. This unknown woman would unsettle anyone.

"Sister, do you mean that it's not that you don't want to organize us to gather and chat, but you're worried that doing so without the manager's approval might lead to malicious gossip and misunderstandings?"

Tu Hongxiu's silence said more than words, showing that Li Shengxuan's statement struck at the heart of the matter.

"As long as you understand. No matter what, we've been together for years. We know each other's personalities even if we're not physically together. Sooner or later, we will be."

Tu Hongxiu saw things more clearly than Li Shengxuan. After explaining it, Li Shengxuan's anxious heart also calmed down.

"Sister, in your opinion, is Wang Han a good or bad person? She doesn't get close to us. I'm really worried Tang Rao might become enamored by beauty and not only become unable to distinguish between good and bad but also destroy the Kao Shan Sect in his hands!"

Is Sheng Xuan worried Tang Rao can't tell good from bad?

That's really underestimating Tang Rao.

If he couldn't distinguish a woman's nature, how could he have gotten to where he is now? And infatuated with beauty? Are there not enough beautiful women in the Kao Shan Sect? Have you ever seen Tang Rao forget himself because of a woman?

The only difference is Wang Han's identity. In Purple Thorn City's backyard, everyone has always been their own master, having the final say over their lives.
