Chapter 791: The Disabled Young Master 3

So, from then on, He Jiantong began sending people to track down Chu Pan'er and Li Shuai. Not only did he have Li Shuai beaten half to death, but he also intended to have Chu Pan'er drowned in a pond, making him a thoroughly vicious "villain."

But just then, Li Shuai's birth mother revealed the identity of his biological father.

It turned out that Li Shuai was actually the biological son of a certain lecherous Marquis in the capital.

Many years ago, when that Marquis passed by Cuihong Pavilion, he fell in love at first sight with the establishment's top courtesan at the time—the very same woman who was Li Shuai's birth mother.

The two of them had enjoyed quite a sweet and intimate time together.

The Marquis had even promised that he would redeem Li Shuai's mother and take her back to the Marquis's residence.

But then he became infatuated with another beauty and promptly forgot all about Li Shuai's mother.

And because he had spent so many years carousing among women, the Marquis had always had very few children.

Thus, when he learned that he actually had a son who had been living outside, he immediately came over in great delight to acknowledge him.

In an instant, Li Shuai went from a street thug to the heir of the Marquis's household.

As for He Jiantong, who had "separated" the two of them, the Marquis's household was confiscated, leaving him with a miserable fate.

Chu Pan'er, meanwhile, was formally married to Li Shuai and brought into the Marquis's residence, becoming the heir's wife.

……

Thinking about He Jiantong's fate, Tang Wan couldn't help shedding a sympathetic tear for her own Jiantong.

Not only had his fiancée been snatched away, but in the end even the He family had been confiscated. Jiantong really was terribly unlucky.

No wonder he later became an outlaw, specifically opposing the government.

And this time, her additional mission was to stop Jiantong from becoming the very kind of bandit he had once hated the most.

Thinking that He Jiantong would be coming over in another two or three days, Tang Wan began to look forward to it.

As long as it was her Jiantong, whether he was lame or missing an arm, she wouldn't dislike him.

But before that, she had to think of a way to leave with Jiantong openly and legitimately.

……

A moment later, Tang Wan's eyes lit up as an idea came to her.

……

Meanwhile, Chu Pan'er had practically soared to heaven under Li Shuai's "eighteen kinds of martial arts."

No wonder a young lady from a prestigious family like her had remained so hung up on Li Shuai.

Ultimately, it was because this brat had learned all the right things in the pleasure quarters and was exceptionally good at coaxing women's hearts.

Much later, Li Shuai held Chu Pan'er's delicate, beautiful face in his hands, gazing at her infatuatedly as he said gently, "Menggu, I never imagined that you would be the young lady of the Chu family. I've dreamed about you even in my sleep!"

Li Shuai began showering her with sweet words as though they cost him nothing.

Chu Pan'er's expression grew even sweeter from his words. She then clasped his hand tightly and said softly, "Menglang, I never imagined that you would actually be in my own home."

Hearing this, Li Shuai nodded. Then, looking somewhat concerned, he asked, "Menggu, will you look down on me because of my lowly status and think that I'm not worthy of you?"

Chu Pan'er hurriedly reached out and covered his mouth. "Menglang, don't belittle yourself. In my heart, you are the best man in the world."

Only then did Li Shuai feel relieved.

Afterward, the two of them also agreed to meet secretly in the middle of the night again in the future.

Chu Pan'er naturally agreed again and again.

Being together with Menglang was simply too wonderful. She couldn't bear to let him leave.

……

It wasn't until the latter half of the night that Li Shuai quietly got out of bed and left by climbing down the rope.

At this time, Tang Wan also stretched her arms and pretended to wake up before returning to her own room.

In her heart, however, she was thinking: I'll let the two of you enjoy yourselves for a few more days.

After that, to prevent Chu Pan'er from drugging her with a sleeping potion, Tang Wan wisely began acting especially sleepy every evening and returning to her room to sleep.
