Chapter 857: Step by Step
Zhuang Xianhui was flustered and waved her hands repeatedly.
"No, no, it's not a strategy."
"I am indeed an informant sent by the emperor."
"Brother Mu Zhan, be careful, otherwise, I will use any means to deal with your father!"
Tao Muzhan laughed at himself.
"Heh... I was fooled by your little trick."
Zhuang Xianhui felt nervous and anxious, and her eyes were filled with anxiety.
"I'm not kidding you, I..."
Tao Muzhan interrupted the sophistry.
"Okay, Hui'er, don't say any more."
"I can tell what you are thinking at a glance. Don't try to deceive me."
Xu Yingyuan pretended to be innocent and was puzzled.
"What little trick? What informant sent by the emperor?"
"I am confused, please enlighten me, sir."
Tao Muzhan did not answer.
"This is not an important matter. It doesn't matter if Madam doesn't understand."
Xu Yingyuan took the opportunity to express her love.
"But, I want to share the worries for you, Master."
Tao Muzhan's tone softened a little.
"Madam, I appreciate your kindness."
"I'll tell you when I have time."
Xu Yingyuan stopped talking and didn't ask any more questions.
"Okay, I'll follow your orders, Master."
She changed the subject.
"This is a rare opportunity, I hope you will seize it."
Tao Muzhan was confused.
"Ok?"
"what chance?"
Xu Yingyuan's words were ambiguous and contained hidden meanings.
"I will go back to the Xu Mansion to visit my father and mother and listen to their teachings."
"Please, sir, help entertain Hui'er."
She didn't stay long, finished her words, and left quickly.
"I bid farewell."
Understanding what she meant, Tao Muzhan couldn't help but panic.
"Madame... madam..."
Xu Yingyuan didn't look back and walked away.
Zhuang Xianhui watched him go for a moment, then looked away.
"Sister, I dare not disappoint you with your kindness."
Her eyes are bright and charming.
"Brother Mu Zhan, shall we go to bed?"
Seeing her reaching out his hand, Tao Muzhan was frightened and dodged quickly.
"Didn't you just say that you wanted to break up with me in order to take care of your wife's feelings? Why, you suddenly said you wanted to go to bed?"
Zhuang Xianhui casually gave him a reason.
"Aren't you trying to keep me? I'm moved."
She took a step closer and wanted to hold hands, but Tao Muzhan dodged again, with suspicion in his heart raging like a violent storm.
"Your change is really unexpected."
After being rejected repeatedly, Zhuang Xianhui couldn't hold back her smile.
"I guess Brother Mu Zhan is shy? Why don't we have a cup of tea and chat for a while?"
"My sister asked you to entertain the guests. You can't be unwilling to even have a cup of tea, right?"
Tao Muzhan gestured for him to come in, as if he was honoring a guest.
"it is good."
"Miss Zhuang San, please take a seat."
Zhuang Xianhui's buds are fragrant and she changes her words as she wishes.
"Master Tao, please go first. I will pour you some tea."
Looking at her like this, it seems like there is some misunderstanding, Tao Muzhan emphasized this.
"You said, entertain guests, so I will treat you as a guest."
"Change the name, nothing else."
The corners of Zhuang Xianhui's mouth twitched a few times.
"Hehe... Yeah, I know."
They sat down, she picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea.
Tao Muzhan observed her movements closely and, as expected, discovered something unusual.
"What did you put in the tea?"
Zhuang Xianhui denied it flatly.
"No."
She held up the teacup and showed it to him.
"There's only water and tea leaves in the cup, look."
Tao Muzhan spoke sternly and revealed the truth.
"Hui'er, I grew up with you, I know how you use medicine to play tricks on me."
Zhuang Xianhui acted coquettishly and explained.
"I... I just wanted to help you get excited and add some fun to your lovemaking."
Tao Muzhan is a very upright person.
"I said, do you agree to go to bed?"
Zhuang Xianhui's beautiful face was filled with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"You agree."
"It's not like we haven't done this before, why do you disagree?"
Tao Muzhan made a request.
"Go back and find a way to get a divorce first, then we can talk about welcoming you into our house and becoming a couple."
Zhuang Xianhui was solemn.
"Are you doubting me?"
Tao Muzhan is meticulous.
"No doubt."
"This is not an unreasonable request, why don't you agree?"
"I don't want to be known as someone who 'steals someone else's wife'. When you divorce, be careful."
"If there is even the slightest risk, I will never welcome you into my house."
Zhuang Xianhui was frustrated and angry.
"you!"
Tao Muzhan handled it with ease.
"What am I?"
"You haven't answered me yet, why don't you agree?"
Zhuang Xianhui was bluffing.
"I have all the evidence of the good things you did yesterday."
"If you dare not obey me, I will go to Yinsitai immediately and sue you two for setting a trap to harm me!"
Tao Muzhan was ruthless and exposed the lies.
"If there was evidence, why would you have to plan every step and speak so eloquently today?"
"Hui Er, your plan is good, but you are too impatient and it is easy to expose your inner thoughts."
Zhuang Xianhui was at a loss, Qiqi was helpless and pitiful.
"Brother Mu Zhan is unwilling to just treat her as a prostitute and have some fun with her?"
"I have many tenderness and affections that you have never seen. Would you mind taking a look at my tenderness?"
Tao Muzhan suppressed his emotional turmoil and responded calmly.
"As long as I can make you happy, I will do anything else."
"But life is priceless."
"Hui Er, you are really expensive. I am humble and cannot afford to play with you."
"That's enough small talk. We'll see you later."
"Come, let's see you off."
Zhuang Xianhui hesitated to speak and left in frustration.
"Mu..."
As she expected, not long after she returned home, Brother Mu Zhan's informant sneaked into the Zhuang Mansion.
The defense of the Zhuang Mansion should not be breached, so Zhuang Wei secretly helps the informant.
Afterwards, Zhuang Wei came to Roujing Pavilion and continued the show according to his sister's plan.
"Did the plan go well?"
"Have you fooled Master Xiao Tao?"
Zhuang Xianhui felt lost.
"Please forgive my incompetence."
Her tone was filled with resentment and her narration was torrents.
"Originally, I deceived him..."
Zhuang Wei raised his finger and shouted angrily.
"It's all your fault. You were so impatient that your plan failed!"
"You are already twenty years old, but you still can't keep your cool. You have eaten the rice for the past twenty years in vain!"
Zhuang Xianhui had a sullen face.
"At this point, what's the point of scolding me?"
Suddenly, she realized something.
"By the way, since Tao Muzhan is suspicious, he won't arrange an informant to find out if I am real or not, right?"
"We must be careful when we speak."
She fidgeted and left her seat.
"I'll go check around."
Tao Muzhan, the informant, became panicked upon hearing this.
Zhuang Wei stopped his sister and asked her to go back to her seat.
"The Zhuang Mansion is heavily guarded. It was designed by the Emperor himself. With his intelligence, how could he use a trick to defeat the Emperor's wisdom?"
"You can talk without worrying about unnecessary things."
Zhuang Xianhui agreed.
"Big brother is right."
She got back to business.
"In my opinion, it is impossible to gain Tao Muzhan's trust. It is better to deal with Tao Kangping directly. Anyway, we have been going around in circles, and in the end, we have to deal with him."
"At this moment, we must act decisively to achieve a surprise victory. Otherwise, Tao Muzhan will definitely be prepared."
Zhuang Wei was helpless.
"Right now, this is the only way."
"How confident are you in seducing Lord Tao?"
Zhuang Xianhui smiled leisurely, confident of victory.
"I'm well prepared. It's no problem to seduce him."
