Chapter 249: The Crime of Harassing His Wife and Concubine

‘Husband would solve it?’

‘What is he thinking of doing?’

Thinking of this, Shen Qingyi’s expression changed slightly and she hurriedly advised,

“Husband, don’t be rash. I’ll endure this matter and let it go. There’s no need to offend the Ninth Elder’s legitimate son because of this.”

“Qingyi, this isn’t like you. In the past, you were fearless. You won’t be as timid as you are now.”

Chen An teased with a smile.

Shen Qingyi pursed her lips and said with a hint of resentment, “You still have the cheek to say that the reason why I’m like this now is because 1 married you.”

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she immediately added with gentle eyes, “But it’s also because of this that I can have a warm home and a group of sisters and daughters 1 love and love me.”

“Otherwise, with my previous personality, after leaving the protection of the Xuanhuang Sect and coming to this unfamiliar area, I’m afraid 1 would have long died because of my impulsiveness.”

“Husband, I cherish my current life very much. I don’t want to bring trouble to this family because of a moment of impulse and cause my family to be destroyed.”

As Shen Qingyi spoke, she picked up one of Chen An’s hands and held it in her palm. There was a hint of pleading in her eyes.

Looking at the concubine who used to punish evil and disregard the consequences, now that she had become so rational, Chen An had mixed feelings.

There was relief, but most of it was guilt.

When you were alone and free, you could do whatever you wanted and live a carefree life.

However, once you had a family, you would have worries and weaknesses. You would become overcautious and think twice before doing anything. You would not cause trouble if you could.

Even when provoked, they had to take a step back and admit defeat. It was better to avoid trouble.

Now, Shen Qingyi has gone from a heroine who helped out in the face of injustice now restrained in her actions.

Chen An felt very sorry for Shen Qingyi. He reached out and stroked her handsome face. His voice was gentle and filled with confidence.

“Qingyi, don’t worry. You know my character. I’ve always been very rational and stable. Since 1 said that I can help you resolve this matter, I’ll definitely be able to resolve it without any risk. There won’t be any trouble.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a breeze blew over, causing Shen Qingyi’s hair to flutter in the wind, adding a hint of heroism to her beauty.

She looked into Chen An’s eyes and asked, “What do you plan to do?”

“I plan to follow you to the Law Enforcement Hall tomorrow to see what’s going on with that Ninth Elder’s legitimate son.”

Chen An wanted to recognize the appearance of the Ninth Elder’s legitimate son. At the same time, he used his Golden Fire Eyes to spy on his name and collect the conditions needed to use the Book of Curses.

Shen Qingyi didn’t know this, so she asked, “And then?”

“Then... it’s a secret.”

Chen An hugged Shen Qingyi’s waist and said with a smile.

Seeing that he did not want to say anything, Shen Qingyi tactfully did not ask further. She only reminded him,

“Husband, don’t be rash if you see the Ninth Elder’s legitimate son in the Law Enforcement Hall tomorrow.”

“Don’t worry, when have 1 ever been rash?”

After saying that, Chen An continued, “Qingyi, 1 don’t know if you’ve realized, but our roles have already changed. In the past, it was always me who advised you not to be rash, but now, it’s you who advised me not to be rash. It’s quite dramatic.”

Shen Qingyi rebuked, “It’s all because you have taken me and tricked me into becoming your concubine. 1 have a family to worry about. Otherwise, I would be very carefree now.”

“You were the one who deliberately seduced me when you saw that I was handsome.”

“Stop slandering me. I’m not that kind of woman.”

“You’re indeed not that kind of woman, but your face and body are even more seductive than that kind of woman. You’re seducing me all the time.”

Chen An’s eyes were filled with lust as he looked at Shen Qingyi in his arms. His gaze landed on her beautiful face without makeup.

As he looked at her, he could not help but lower his head and suck on her lips, enjoying the unique taste that belonged to her.

Shen Qingyi had long fallen in love. Her beautiful eyes were slightly closed as she reciprocated Chen An’s kiss.

They kissed for a moment.

He felt that the mood was almost there.

In an instant, socks, laces, undergarments, and other undergarments were scattered on the ground.

Shen Qingyi placed her hands on the edge of the window. Chen An stood behind her. It had been a long time since the couple stood in front of the window to admire the moon and enjoy this beautiful time in the dead of night.

Some went to the Hundred Herb Garden.

Some went to the Beast Taming Garden.

Wait, wait...

“Qingyi, you don’t have to patrol today. Come over and chat with me.”

Liu Huoyu called Shen Qingyi over alone.

Shen Qingyi came over.

Then, the three of them walked into a spacious lounge.

Being able to have a private space at the entrance of the hall was a benefit that only deacons and above of the Law Enforcement Hall could enjoy.

“Deacon Liu Huoyu, I believe you know why I’m here.”

Chen An’s tone was not very polite. There was a hint of questioning.

He had given Liu Huoyu nearly ten Beautifying Pills so that she could keep an eye on Shen Qingyi in the Law Enforcement Hall. He didn’t ask that she would rise to the top, but at the very least, she wouldn’t be bullied by others.

However, Shen Qingyi had been harassed by a male deacon in the Enforcement Hall for so long, but Liu Huoyu had never told him from the beginning to the end. She had only told Shen Qingyi to swallow her anger.

This method did not make sense no matter what.

Faced with Chen An’s question, Liu Huoyu took a sip of the freshly brewed flower tea and explained,

Is Deacon Chen referring to Deacon Cai’s recent harassment of Qingyi in the Law Enforcement Hall?”

If that’s the case, Deacon Chen, you’ve misunderstood me.”

“Deacon Cai is the legitimate son of the Ninth Elder. His status is only slightly lower than the Holy Maiden among his peers. People like us without any background can’t afford to provoke him at all.”

“Moreover, Deacon Cai only teased her with words at most. He didn’t touch Qingyi.”

“I didn’t tell you about this because it’s better to avoid trouble.”

There was no trace of guilt or apology in Liu Huoyu’s words. There was only a matter of course. Her words were filled with a sense of ‘I’m just doing this for your own good.’

Chen An’s expression did not change after hearing this. He only sneered in his heart.

It was fine if she did not do anything, but she could even make herself sound so good and push the responsibility away completely. This person was really ugly and despicable.

Shen Qingyi, who was sitting on the other side, was extremely disappointed.

In the past, when she saw Liu Huoyu governing the shrew in the market without fear of power, she thought that she was a like-minded heroine.

Unexpectedly, in the end, she was also a commoner who bowed down to the rich and powerful.

Moreover, she liked to shirk her responsibility. She was not responsible at all and was a deacon of the Enforcement Hall.

Seeing that Shen Qingyi’s expression was not right, Liu Huoyu was afraid that if this matter was not handled well, Chen An would not provide her with the Divine Beautifying Pill in the future.

Hence, she said apologetically,

“Deacon Chen, Qingyi, I might have been a little inconsiderate about this matter.”

“But don’t worry, I’ll think of a way to deal with it.”

“We can’t afford to offend Deacon Cai, but we can hide. In the future, I’ll separate Qingyi’s time in the hall from Deacon Cai’s. At the same time, Qingyi’s patrol area will be changed to the Hundred Herb Garden far away from Deacon Cai’s patrol area.”

“This way, Qingyi can avoid contact with Deacon Cai to the greatest extent.”

If she only said that now, what was she doing earlier?

After hearing Liu Huoyu’s measures, Chen An was even more dissatisfied with her.

This woman clearly had a way to protect Shen Qingyi from Deacon Cai’s harassment, but she hadn’t taken this harassment seriously before and hadn’t taken it seriously to deal with it.

Now that she had been found, she was worried that she would not have the Divine Beautifying Pill to eat in the future. That was why she came to give an explanation and solution. It was really a little disgusting.

“Deacon Liu Huoyu, my Qingyi has been a little anxious recently. I’d better bring her home to rest for a while.”

After saying that, Chen An grabbed Shen Qingyi’s slender hand and stood up to leave. He did not want to talk nonsense with Liu Huoyu.

Just as the couple turned around, a feminine-looking man walked into the house.

This person was dressed even more exquisitely than a woman. He had purple eye shadow and light pink blush. He held a pink jade bone fan in his hand and looked neither male nor female. He looked very androgynous.

Upon seeing this person, Shen Qingyi’s expression changed slightly. She tightened her grip on Chen An’s hand and instinctively shrank to his side.

Liu Huoyu, who was still sitting, stood up immediately with a fawning smile on her face. She greeted the man who was neither male nor female.

“Deacon Cai, why are you here?”
