497: Chapter 369 497: Chapter 369 “Father, if my husband’s condition doesn’t improve after taking the medicine, or if something else happens, you may dispose of me at will!”
The confidence in Yingzi’s smile was as if everything was under her control.
Such a confident woman has a special radiance that can captivate a man.
Liu Xu saw in this woman the dominance and confidence of a man.
As a man of high status and great power, he didn’t like such women; he preferred them a bit more gentle and easier to control.
The stronger the woman, the more threatening she is by nature, making a man feel pressured to be stronger than her, so as not to become what people call a complete loser.
“Remember what you just said.
If you play any tricks, I won’t let you off!”
Yingzi smiled gently, then fell silent, poured the red medicine powder into Liu Tao’s mouth from the bottle she held, and then put away the bottle, instructing the maid to give their heir water.
Liu Tao was like a vegetative person, being manipulated without any sign of awareness.
Liu Xu knew it was the effect of the acupuncture points being sealed.
After Yingzi finished feeding the medicine powder, he moved forward to release the acupuncture points for his son.
Over the years, Yingzi had been hiding in Ancient Xia Country, learning the language and some Cultivation Techniques, even mastering the deadly moves of Martial Artists from Ancient Xia Country.
She also learned their own country’s vanishing spell, but failed to acquire the Cultivation Spells of the Cultivators from Ancient Xia Country.
Methods like Ancient Martial Arts’ acupoint sealing, she hadn’t learned either.
Previously, she thought the man before her was nothing special, but now she realized that although she could be a little stronger than his son, she was no match for the man in front of her.
Indeed, Elder Jiang was spicier.
After being released from the acupoint seal, Liu Tao showed no reaction at first, but after a while, he began to open his eyes with a confused look, as if he didn’t know where he was.
He looked blankly at the top of the mosquito net and then sat up abruptly, looking at the person standing in front of the bed.
“Father, what happened to me?
Why does it feel like I had a dream, yet it feels so real with the woman in my dream?
Miss, how did you get into my dream?”
Liu Xu realized his son seemed to have forgotten the previous events, almost as if he’d been sleepwalking.
He thought this might be a good thing; forgetting the past unpleasantness could be better than remembering it.
He knew his son’s pride, and he wondered…
if his son knew the Princess had seen him go mad, what then…!
“Hmm, let’s just consider it a dream.
We’ll not speak of the past anymore.
This person is just a maid, one that I, your father, have hired.”
“Father, why do I have such strange dreams in my mind, about me and this lady…?”
“It’s nothing, you must have had a nightmare.
Alright, alright, you’re fine.
I’ll step out first.”
Liu Xu wouldn’t let his son go on, then gestured for Yingzi to follow, not wanting her to stay in his son’s room—he didn’t want a repeat of that incident.
“Miss, could you please stay?”
Seeing the woman from his dreams, Liu Tao wasn’t going to let her leave so easily, his lust returning.
Yingzi slowed her steps, turned around, and looked seductively at the man who was enchanted by her.
She hadn’t even started her seduction, and this man was already falling for it again.
“Rascal, you’ve just woken up; stay in your room and rest well.”
Liu Xu wasn’t about to let his son be fooled by this woman again.
He needed to find a way to get this woman away from him.
At this moment, he somewhat regretted bringing this woman into his son’s room.
He should have had the woman give the medicine without letting his son see her.
“Father…”
Liu Tao’s whiny demeanor was just like a few years old child, never experiencing a trace of fear for the dignity of his doting father.
Someday all the assets of this large Liu Family, the position of the Clan Leader, the Prime Minister, would all be his.
Of course, he knew what his father wanted: the ultimate power.
He supported his father’s ambitions wholeheartedly, dreaming of the day he would become the Crown Prince and, after his father’s centennial, ascend to become the King, his favorite part being the thought of 3,000 beauties in his harem.
“Enough, don’t leave your room, focus on Cultivation in the room.”
Liu Xu didn’t soften his heart because softening now would only lead to trouble later.
His son’s character was like some other spoiled heirs, just a bit more lecherous—men were all like that.
All they needed to do was provide Liu Family with more offspring.
But surely not with this woman; she would only be the ruin of his son.
Liu Xu felt that keeping such a dangerous woman in the manor was definitely a risk, yet during this period of cooperation, he had no choice but to follow through with the plan.
Liu Tao sighed as he watched the beauty depart, with his father confining him and the guardians locking the door, leaving only himself and the maid in the room.
His lust rose again; this maid had always been by his side, already taken into his room before, becoming a bed-warmer.
“Come here…”
“Young master, the master has forbidden me to get close to you.”
“Aren’t you listening to me?
I’m right here, can my father see us?”
The feeble maid had no strength to resist the young heir’s advances.
The guardians stationed at the door had no choice but to keep their eyes open, feigning ignorance.
It seemed as if they had grown used to hearing such noises.
Liu Xu, having left his son’s courtyard with Yingzi, instructed more guardians to stand guard at his son’s courtyard.
He then had someone take Yingzi to a different courtyard to settle down, after which he left without another word to her.
As a Prime Minister, he wouldn’t let a minor domestic issue slow him down.
He had taken days off to be at home, but it was time to end his leave.
