The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 922: Stay For A Night

"Young Lady Bai, I am sorry for making you watch this commotion." Yao Huifang apologised after they left the area.

"It’s fine. I have quite a bit of fun too, putting a scumbag and a whore in place." Bai Xifeng grinned.

"He was a good husband once. It was not until he inherited his father’s position that he became like that. After that, he changed. He lost himself in pleasure." Yao Huifang smiled bitterly.

"Do you have a plan to divorce him?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"If I divorce him, I have nowhere to go. My daughter is still small. I still need him to make sure my daughter grows up properly." Yao Huifang sighed. Then, she continued through gritted teeth. "And I don’t want those bitches to think they can force me to give up my position so easily. The longer I hold to this position, the angrier they will be because they can not what is mine."

"I see." Bai Xifeng nodded.

They arrived at a room featuring a small, private courtyard.

"Young Lady Bai, you may stay in this room. I will have someone bring a meal for you shortly." Yao Huifang stated.

"I understand." Bai Xifeng nodded.

She entered the room and found it clean, with fresh bedsheets. Yao Huifang had likely instructed the maids to prepare it the moment they arrived at the house. Soon, there was a knock at the door.

There were knocks on the door.

"Young Lady, I am a maid sent by Madam. I want to prepare the bathtub for you to take a bath." A voice called from outside.

"Sure. You may come." Bai Xifeng said.

The maids came in with several men who carried in the heavy bathtub. After putting the bathtub down, the men left. The maid started pouring the water into the bathtub.

"Young Lady, the bathtub is ready. Do you want us to help you wash?" The maid asked.

"No need. I can handle myself." Bai Xifeng replied while shaking her head.

"Alright. We will take our leave first. When you are finished, please call us. We will be waiting outside." The maids bowed their heads and left the room.

Bai Xifeng shed her clothes and stepped into the water. Ah... It felt wonderful. The water was lukewarm. The water was lukewarm and smelled sweet, filled with the fragrance of roses.

Bai Xifeng bathed for about half an hour before she got out of the bathtub. She put on the new clothes. She opened the door, searching for the maids. The maids were indeed waiting outside. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Are you finished, Young Lady?" The maid asked.

"Yes." Bai Xifeng replied.

"Good. I will call someone to bring your meal." The maid stated.

"Okay." Bai Xifeng nodded.

While one maid left for the food, the others went inside to drain and remove the bathtub. Not long after that, the maids came over again, bringing the meal for Bai Xifeng.

"Here you are, Young Lady. Madam apologises that you must eat alone. She is currently busy handling a private matter." The maid explained.

"Oh... I understand." Bai Xifeng nodded.

Without waiting any longer, Bai Xifeng dug in. The meal was quite good.

Tao-chan poked his head out, wanting to eat as well. He only received a small portion, however, since the maids had only prepared enough for one person.

"You need to compensate me later," Tao-chan stated, munching on the food he was given.

"Okay... Okay..." Bai Xifeng whispered back.

After the meal, Bai Xifeng decided to sleep. She needed to wake up early to head to the Si Residence. She climbed into bed and tried to drift off.

However, in the middle of the night, Bai Xifeng seemed to receive an uninvited guest. A man sneaked into her room. The man smiled lewdly as he looked at the beautiful young lady on the bed.

Just as he was about to jump on her, Bai Xifeng snapped her eyes open and lunged first. In a flash, she had a dagger pressed against the man’s neck.

The man was shocked. It happened so fast that he couldn’t react. He began to tremble, feeling his life hanging by a thread.

"Hello," Bai Xifeng said coldly. "So, tell me, why are you in my room?"

The man kept his mouth shut.

"So, you don’t want to talk. Fine. You can go to hell." Bai Xifeng raised her dagger, preparing to plunge it into the man’s heart.

"Wait a minute." The man shouted.

The dagger stopped. Bai Xifeng stared at him, waiting for him to speak.

"Someone told me to come and ruin your innocence." The man confessed.

"Someone, who is that?" Bai Xifeng did not know someone with that name.

"I don’t know. She just gives me money and the instruction to rape you." The man said.

’Someone? Was it Zhang Minglu? Or the woman who was beside Zhang Minglu earlier?’ Bai Xifeng wondered.

Seeing Bai Xifeng lost in thought, the man tried to take the opportunity to counterattack. He swung a heavy fist, but Bai Xifeng swiftly stepped back, dodging the blow with ease.

"Girl, don’t fight back. I will bring heaven to you if you agree to follow me." The man grinned.

He had already forgotten that he had been pinned down seconds ago. He convinced himself it was just a coincidence that he had simply been caught off guard.

"Oh... You want bring me to heaven?" Bai Xifeng smiled.

The man thought Bai Xifeng was an innocent girl. He did not know that Bai Xifeng beat up the guards. That woman had likely concealed the matter from the man.

"Yes. Come here to Brother." The man said.

Bai Xifeng approached the man. The man smiled lewdly, unaware of the danger he was in.
