Boom!
A wave of powerful rage erupted within Leng Qingmei.
The papers before her fluttered in the air.
Her face was frosty, devoid of any emotion.
She uttered cold words, "Did you personally witness the son-in-law and Wu Ning Shi getting together?"
Qiu Zhu nervously said, "Yes, this servant personally saw the young master and Wu Ning Shi getting together, for about fifty minutes."
Leng Qingmei, "How long was the foreplay?"
Qiu Zhu, "No foreplay, straight to the point."
"Is that trash really that vigorous?" Leng Qingmei's eyes showed disbelief.
Qiu Zhu nodded nervously.
Leng Qingmei gritted her teeth, "I never expected that trash would dare to cheat on me behind my back, and moreover, cheat with a married woman."
"His courage is far greater than I imagined."
In Leng Qingmei's understanding.
Chen Nan had always been trash.
He didn't even dare to go to a brothel.
Let alone this time, getting together with a married woman.
This made her feel disgusted.
However.
She couldn't help but wonder, why did Chen Nan undergo such a drastic change?
Is it normal for a cripple to suddenly become like a different person?
She suppressed the irritation in her heart and said indifferently, "I don't want anyone else to know about this matter."
"This servant will definitely keep silent." Qiu Zhu knew what this matter meant for the Leng family. Once it was known to outsiders, the Leng family would surely become a laughingstock among the six major wealthy families.
Changing the subject, Qiu Zhu nervously asked, "Miss, should we give the Wu family a warning?"
Leng Qingmei showed a sinister smile, "A warning is certain."
"But it must be done without anyone knowing."
"You don't need to worry about this matter, I will handle it."
"You may go!"
Qiu Zhu rose and retreated, soon leaving Leng Qingmei's room.
After Qiu Zhu left.
Leng Qingmei picked up a pen and wrote a bold title on the paper: [The Untold Stories of a Bestselling Author and a Printing House Owner's Wife].
She would not allow Chen Nan to cheat on her outside behind her back.
Therefore, she had to expose the sordid affair between the two of them.
Using the Wu family as a tool to eliminate Ning Yinqiu.
------
The next day.
Early in the morning, Song Ziwei went to buy two sacks of medicinal herbs.
Then she had the pharmacy assistant deliver them to the backyard of the Leng family.
Looking at so many medicinal herbs.
Chen Nan's heart raced.
These medicinal herbs should be enough for a few days.
He hoped that after using these herbs, his physical constitution would improve.
Before, he soaked in medicinal baths at night.
But now.
All his time was spent soaking in medicinal baths.
Although he liked the pace of life in the underworld.
He was ultimately a traveler.
His purpose here was to become a Yin Soldier and go to the eighteenth level of hell to see Empress Houtu.
Therefore.
He had to strive for this goal.
After soaking in the medicinal bath for a whole day.
His muscles felt like torn leaves, and even slight movements caused sharp pain.
But after a hearty dinner of tiger penis and various tiger offal.
He immediately felt a warm current flowing through his body.
Repairing his damaged muscles.
He felt his body expanding.
Even the air he exhaled was scorching hot.
He immediately returned to his room, sat cross-legged, and cultivated the Yin Absorption Art, to completely absorb and control that power.
"After these few days of medicinal baths, although this body has not undergone a complete transformation, it has shown significant improvement."
"Comparable to a Houtian realm master in the mortal world."
"The next stage is the Xiantian realm master."
"As long as I can break through to the Xiantian realm, I can become a practitioner of the Yin Absorption realm."
Time flew by, more than ten days passed.
During this period, Chen Nan stayed at the Leng family, confined to his residence.
Except for soaking in medicinal baths.
He spent the rest of his time on exercises to improve his body's coordination.
Although he was very strong in the mortal world.
One thing was undeniable.
This physical body was ultimately one he had taken over.
He needed to gain complete control of this body, as even a small flaw in combat could lead to his death.
And during these ten days.
His strength had advanced further.
Comparable to a Xiantian realm expert in the mortal world.
He was only one bottleneck away from the Yin Absorption realm.
However, he knew.
To enter the Yin Absorption realm, just soaking in medicinal baths was not enough.
Soaking in medicinal baths only helped him build a solid foundation.
He still needed to absorb the Yin energy from heaven and earth to break through the bottleneck.
On this particular morning.
After breakfast, Chen Nan went to the Wu family printing house.
This was the day for profit sharing as agreed with the Wu family.
A week had passed since the second volume of the books was released.
He also wanted to know how the book sales had been during this period.
Upon arriving at the Wu family printing house.
The entire Wu family was waiting there.
In fact, they were even more eager than Chen Nan to receive their share of the profits.
Seeing Chen Nan appear.
Ning Yinqiu felt her heart flutter like a startled deer, remembering the joy she had with Chen Nan ten days ago.
Although it was only a brief fifty minutes.
It was undoubtedly the happiest and most relaxing time of her life.
To the extent that.
She found it hard to extricate herself from reminiscing about it these past few days.
Chen Nan also saw Ning Yinqiu gazing at him affectionately.
There was no need to guess.
She must be missing him.
At this moment.
He hesitated.
After distributing the money, should he ask Ning Yinqiu to accompany him to buy rouge again?
Let alone Ning Yinqiu thinking about such things.
Even he felt a stirring of desire.
After being invited to sit by the Wu family members, Elder Yan reported the book sales situation during this period: "Young Master Chen, during this time, our printing house has added five thousand copies of the first volume."
"It sold for twelve thousand taels of silver."
"In addition, we printed twenty thousand copies of the second volume."
"A total of fifty thousand taels of silver were sold."
The books were divided into six volumes.
The first and second volumes each cost two taels per book.
The third and fourth volumes each cost three taels per book.
The fifth and sixth volumes were priced at four taels each.
"According to a nine-one split, you are entitled to forty-five thousand taels."
"Our Wu family receives five thousand taels."
"Here are forty-five thousand taels in bank notes, please accept them!"
Although the Wu family only received five thousand taels of silver.
They did not show any dissatisfaction.
It was known that the Wu family had been in decline for many years.
Their annual profit was only a little over ten thousand taels of silver.
But now.
In just ten days.
They had received five thousand taels of silver.
Five thousand taels of silver might not seem like much, but it was equivalent to half a year's profit from before.
Not to mention, they had also gained the backing of Chen Nan and Liang Jian.
"Young Master Chen, are you free for lunch today? How about we have a simple meal together?" Wu Quan said with a polite smile.
Chen Nan was about to speak.
A servant ran in from outside, panting and red-faced, "Master, something has happened."
Wu Quan's eyes flickered with displeasure, "Why are you rushing in like this, what kind of behavior is this?"
The servant quickly took a book from his embrace and handed it to Wu Quan.
On the cover was a beautiful and alluring woman.
But upon closer inspection, it was not difficult to see that she bore some resemblance to Ning Yinqiu.
Especially the prominent title on the cover: [The Untold Stories of a Popular Bestselling Author and a Printing House Owner's Wife].
Seeing this title.
Chen Nan and Ning Yinqiu's faces instantly changed.
The title of this book was clearly alluding to them.
What was going on?
Could it be that someone knew about their affair?
