Chapter 46: The Super Big Deceiver

  Chen Xiao sighed inwardly as she listened, thinking which man would like a woman who loves to get angry and is extremely jealous? Always chopping people's arms and legs. If I were Duan Yu's father, Duan Zhengchun, I wouldn't like you either!

  Madam Wang hesitated for a while, then finally untied Chen Xiao's bonds. She grabbed his arm and said, "Consider yourself lucky today! Come with me and tell me everything you know!"

  Madam Wang pulled Chen Xiao into the next room, locked the door tightly, and then asked coldly: "Young man, what's your name? What brings you to this Zhangjia Village? Hmph, don't lie to me, otherwise it won't be easy for you to get out of here."

  A real man, a gentleman, would not hide his true self. Do I need to deceive you? Chen Xiao replied proudly: "I am Chen Xiao, with the surname Chen and the given name Xiao. I fell into the lake and was rescued by Miss Abi's kindness, who also took me to the Zhang's estate to change into a set of dry clothes. As for other matters, there is not even half a point."

  "Anything less?"

  Madam Wang stared into Chen Xiao's eyes, coldly smiling: "You're not coveting the 'Water Returning Pavilion' martial arts secret manual in the Murong family, are you? Otherwise, why would you jump into Taihu Lake and lead Ah Zhu and Ah Bi, those two foolish girls, to participate in the He Huan Villa?"

  There's a barb in her words, how could Chen Xiao not hear it? He simply put his arm on the table and said angrily: "What is this Water Pavilion anyway, why should I care about that? As an ordinary person who doesn't know martial arts, even if you give me some secret manual, I won't be able to practice it. Why take that risk? Madam can try feeling my pulse to see."

  After hearing Chen Xiao's words, Wang Furen was also straightforward and immediately reached out to gently grasp the pulse on Chen Xiao's wrist. After a try, it turned out that Chen Xiao's pulse was no different from that of an ordinary person, and even when she used a bit more internal force to probe, there was not half a point of turbulence.

  It seems that Chen Xiao's words about not coveting the martial arts secret manual in the Shui Ge Pavilion were indeed true.

  For an ordinary person like Chen Xiao, Madame Wang has put down her guard a lot. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly asked: "Do you know any news about Yu Xuan? Where is she now? What's she doing?"

  Chen Xiao secretly drew a cross in her heart and thought: "Duan brother, I'm afraid today you'll have to be used as a shield!"

  He immediately told about what had happened with Duan Yu at Liu Zhengfeng's mansion in Hengyang, and also described Wang Yuyan's clothes.

  "In the end, he said: 'I heard that it was because Murong Gongzi killed the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Xuan Bei. Yu Yan followed him afterwards. Let's just say that I only heard about it, I don't know if it's true or not, and I'm not clear about the specific circumstances.'"

  Mrs. Wang saw that Chen Xiao's description of Wang Yuyan's clothing was not off by a single detail, and she became dazed and lost in thought, muttering to herself: "Duan Yu... Duan Yu... why is it always someone with the surname Duan who causes me trouble? Why is it always someone with the surname Duan who causes me trouble?"

  Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang became more and more angry, suddenly raised her hand, and with a slap, the wooden table in front of Chen Xiao was smashed to pieces, wood chips flying out in all directions, scattering everywhere with a loud crash.

  Chen Xiao stared at the wooden table that had been smashed to pieces, his eyes wide with shock. He thought to himself: "This guy's temper is really explosive! If she were to get together with Mie Xiu Shifu and Ding Yi Shifu, it would definitely lead to a nuclear reaction!"

  Madam Wang vented for a while, then sat down on the chair with a huff, panting for a moment before suddenly asking: "That 'Certain Chun' you mentioned earlier, who is he?"

  Does this still need to be asked? Chen Xiao smiled and said: "This person is a prince, with the surname Duan."

  The king's surname is Duan, and his name also has the character "Chun", which coincidentally matches the one in her heart. Lady Wang became tense even in her breathing, and hastily asked: "How has he been recently?"

  Duan Zhengchun is now how Chen Xiao knows?

  But at this time, making up something that's about 80% true is no big deal. Chen Xiao casually said: "He'll probably come to the Central Plains soon, and he'll definitely make time to visit your esteemed manor."

  "Will he come? Will he really come?"

  Madam Wang muttered to herself for a couple of sentences, then suddenly flew into a great rage again. Everything in the room was once more subjected to her wrath. All that could be heard was her angry voice shouting: "What's the use of his coming? What's the use of his coming?! He still can't put those few cheap women out of his mind! If he comes, I'll have to kill him!"

  "My goodness, it's been over a decade and your Wang Yu Yan is almost old enough to get married, why are you still stuck on this?"

  Chen Xiao looked at the waterfall, but the woman was in a bad mood. It's better not to provoke her, this soy sauce party. Otherwise, if things get out of hand, it would be a worrying situation for himself.

  It's actually your fault, Chun. In this world and era, having three wives and four concubines is extremely normal, especially for a prince like him. Yet, he chose several women who are all extremely jealous and sharp-tongued.

  Madam Wang's outburst ended quickly and after a while, she suddenly asked Chen Xiao: "Tell me, tell me, are there wrinkles on my face?"

  Although Mrs. Wang was stubborn, she still had some concerns in her heart. As the saying goes, "the deeper the love, the greater the hatred". If she didn't have a certain affection for Rong Zhi, how could she hate Da Li Ren and people with the surname Duan so much?

  Chen Xiao immediately understood and said: "There are already some crow's feet at the corners of your eyes."

  Scare her first, just as Madame Wang was about to get angry, Chen Xiao shook his head and continued: "This is the way to nourish one's life, in order to live a longer and younger life. As for this nourishment, it needs to be done in five steps. If these five steps are done well, you can look ten or eight years younger, like a small dish piled up with small dishes! Of course, if you want to attract someone's attention, relying on this alone is not enough! There are other ways, and using them simultaneously will have the best effect."

  Hurry up, hehe, as long as you speak up, I'll definitely hurry up for your heart's that distracted.

  As expected, Mrs. Wang's mind was instantly lifted by Chen Xiao's words.

  Which woman doesn't love beauty? Which woman doesn't wish to have her favorite man firmly under her control in the palm of her hand?

  So this time, Lady Wang's attitude can be said to have made a 120-degree turn, although it's not as exaggerated as a 180-degree change that makes people feel nauseous, but at least the tone is much more pleasant to hear.

  Only then did Madame Wang speak in a gentle tone: "Young brother... Ah, yes, you're Chen Xiao, right? Speak up. If I'm satisfied with what you have to say, I might consider letting you go."

  Satisfied, it must be called satisfied.

  Such a good opportunity to talk about conditions, how could Chen Xiao miss it? One by one, he said: "This nourishing life, can't help but mention the attitude towards life. You know, happy life, green life, healthy life is the real leisurely life, wanting to achieve leisurely life, not only is nourishing life so simple, but also needs to start changing from small behaviors around you."
