Pang Shi glanced at her daughter, and Wang Donghua gave her a look. The two immediately wailed and stumbled to their feet, following along.
"Master, if you don't take me today, I'll die at your doorstep, sob..."
"Master, please take my daughter. How can this old woman live if you don't?"
The road workers also wanted to see how the master would handle this. Especially the unmarried girls, they were worried about being fired, so they followed along as well.
The latrine was 200 meters away from the house. Hengheng had not witnessed the good show that had just unfolded.
It wasn't until Lu Ye walked home with a somber face, followed by an angry Zhao Dazhuang, and a pair of crying mother and daughter far behind them, as well as many road workers, that Hengheng realized something big must have happened. He immediately woke up Bai Sheng, who was napping in the bamboo forest.
Bai Sheng instantly guessed most of it. She had thought those women merely admired her man, but she hadn't expected them to make a move so quickly.
It seemed she had underestimated their courage. To secure a lifelong meal ticket, one could cast aside their face and trample their dignity underfoot.
Bai Sheng walked out of the house, leaning against the doorframe with a smile, waiting for everyone to approach.
The earth-shattering cries of Pang Shi and her daughter woke the people of Hongshu Slope. They immediately ran out of their rooms, bewildered by the scene before them.
Zhao Dazhuang quickly ran to the crowd and explained the entire incident.
The people of Hongshu Slope were instantly enraged. No matter how the vulgar mother and daughter made a scene, they would help the master block this undeserved disaster, and they couldn't let them stimulate their mistress.
Du Min sneered, "These two idiots are really going all out, even stripping so completely. Do they really think our master is kind-hearted and can throw a tantrum, pester him, and cling to him? Hongshu Slope isn't so easily bullied!"
"That's right! Hongshu Slope isn't so easily bullied!" the crowd echoed. Then, with shared indignation, they stepped onto the stone steps of the sandbank and walked towards the mistress.
Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat when he saw Bai Sheng standing at the door.
He truly hated these disgusting women. He had never given any woman a second glance; why did they think that by using some tricks, they could force him to yield?
It seemed he really had to show them a thing or two, or they would truly think he was a good person!
Worried that his darling would be upset by this incident, Lu Ye immediately stepped forward and honestly explained what had happened.
"Darling, don't be angry. I'll handle this. Go back to your room and rest."
Bai Sheng smiled, "Husband, this matter is not your fault at all. You were innocently tainted. Of course, I won't be angry.
However, to deal with such women, it has to be us women. You men can't explain yourselves clearly. Anyway, I've been a bit bored lately, and they can be my entertainment." Bai Sheng felt a strange excitement. She really wanted to see what kind of "green tea" woman dared to be so bold as to touch her man.
She had her sharp sword and palm ready, just waiting for the "green tea" mother and daughter to approach.
Seeing that Bai Sheng seemed happy, Lu Ye was relieved and decided to let her have her fun. He moved a comfortable armchair for her to sit in.
He also felt a hint of anticipation. The fact that his darling was fighting with women who coveted his beauty for his sake showed that she cared about him deeply, which made him very happy.
Hengheng also called the little companions from the space to watch the show.
Hengheng's voice was very loud. Even the chickens and rabbits in the distant coops and hutches perked up their ears, and the horses in the stable quietly huddled in the direction closest to Hengheng, their long ears occasionally twitching.
The mother and daughter plopped down on their knees in front of Bai Sheng.
Wang Donghua cried with pearly tears, "I beg you, mistress of the manor, to grant my wish. This humble girl truly admires Master, and Master... has also seen my daughter's body. This daughter will never marry anyone else but him in this life, sob... This humble girl knows she is not as good as you, mistress, but I only wish to stay by Master's side as a lowly maidservant to serve him."
"I'm sorry, we don't need any lowly maidservants here," Bai Sheng said with a faint smile. She then looked up at Lu Ye and asked, "Husband, this young lady claims you saw her body. Is this true?"
Lu Ye immediately shook his head in indignation, "That's not true! I was just relieving myself in the men's restroom when this woman suddenly ran in and hugged me, refusing to let go. I didn't look at her at all! I was afraid I would vomit if I did!"
Lu Ye showed a rare, youthful anger.
Bai Sheng nodded and said slowly, "So, this young lady undressed herself, hugged my husband, and wanted my husband to be responsible for her?"
"Yes, that's exactly what happened, mistress! I've never seen such a shameless woman!" Zhao Dazhuang, being the first from Hongshu Slope to arrive at the scene, had the most say.
Bai Sheng continued to speak clearly, "My husband is handsome, and it's normal that many women admire him. After all, everyone has a love for beauty.
However, if every admiring woman actively undressed and pestered him, and then naturally demanded he take responsibility, would there still be any justice in this world?
"No justice! Such women are shameless!" The people of Hongshu Slope's voices were like thunder.
"This is practically like a robber!" the road workers also shouted.
Bai Sheng's gaze coldly shifted to Wang Donghua, "You willingly undressed, ran into the men's restroom, and forced someone to take responsibility. This already constitutes harassment. I can report you to the authorities for framing!"
Pang Shi and Wang Donghua's faces instantly turned pale.
Wang Donghua repeatedly kowtowed, sobbing miserably, "Mistress, I had no choice but to do this. I love Master so much, and Master... also likes me very much. He's just afraid to admit it. So, for him, I don't hesitate to be a bad person. I beg you, mistress, to grant my wish..."
Upon hearing Wang Donghua claim that he also liked her, Lu Ye wished he could punch this disgusting woman. Bai Sheng raised a hand to comfort him, then got up and walked up to Wang Donghua.
"You say my husband also likes you?" Bai Sheng asked, raising an eyebrow.
"He doesn't! It's utterly disgusting!" Lu Ye couldn't help but roar.
The crowd suddenly burst into laughter.
"Yes, when working, Master... Master always sneaks glances at me," Wang Donghua said evasively. After all, affairs between men and women have no clear evidence; she would just insist on it.
Lu Ye was about to explode. It was the first time he knew there was such a shameless woman in the world!
"Sneaks glances at you?" Bai Sheng chuckled, "Open your eyes, open them wider, and look carefully. Is there anything about you that is worth my husband sneaking glances at?"
Everyone's eyes shifted to the mistress and Wang Donghua, secretly comparing them. Alas, there was no comparison at all!
One was a toad in the mud, the other was a swan flying in the sky.
"Your features are not ugly, but is your face as beautiful as mine?
Is your skin as fair and tender as mine?
Is your figure as voluptuous as mine?
Is your hair as black and shiny as mine?
Are you as clean as I am?
You have nothing. Why do you think my husband would sneak glances at you?
Because you overthink and daydream, deceiving yourself?"
No woman could tolerate being subjected to such direct facial criticism by another woman. Wang Donghua was instantly stimulated and mustered some courage. She said with great hatred, "But you are pregnant, you can't satisfy Master at all, and you... you are still a slave! At least my status is nobler than yours!"
As soon as these words were uttered, the entire scene fell silent.
