Chapter 213: Chapter 209: Forbidden in the Wealthy
Most clan leaders capable of establishing mansions are typically at the peak of Mortal Realm cultivation, aged between thirty-fiveand forty-five. Apart from a few hereditary cases, most are no different.
Leaders of this age generally have numerous children, legitimate or otherwise. The norm is for the mansion to be home to adozen or so lords.
But Tang Luo’s family is different. Mainly because Tang Sen broke through the Fierce Realm too soon, which directly resulted inXu Shuhui virtually losing the chance to conceive again. This led Xu Shuhui to regard her two sons and one daughter as actualtreasures, not tolerating the slightest loss.
One needs to know how many potential heirs have forfeited their prospects due to indulging sexual pleasures prematurely, theirlustful thoughts and bodily vigor drained away by wine and sex. This is commonplace even in the holy Xu Clan, let alone theTang Clan.
Luckily, the eldest son Tang Luo, despite his precocity, maintained a good character and showed no interest in the temptations ofamorous affections much like Tang Sen.
Assuming that the second son, Tang Xing, would follow his elder brother’s excellent example and ascend the path of martial arts,Xu Shuhui never thought he would run into any issues in the Martial Hall, especially with her husband serving as the First Headof the Martial Hall.
This eleven-year-old young lad, currently in the accumulation phase of the Mortal Realm Peak, was viewed as a potentialprodigy. While basking in pride and looking forward to having two geniuses in the family, a grave mistake occurred during one ofher routine visits home.
Aservant girl, named Miao Zhu, unexpectedly spent the night in Tang Xing’s room. If Xu Shuhui hadn't had the habit of havingbreakfast with her younger son, she wouldn't have discovered the audacious servant girl wreaking havoc within the TangMansion!
An enraged mistress is undoubtedly terrible. She hoisted the boy out of bed and brought him to the side hall for a family meeting.Joined by a few of the stewards from the mansion, they discussed how to deal with this insolent servant girl.
The first to be punished was Liu Niang, the manager of the maid servants.
Liu Niang used to be her maid, and it was her trust that led her to hand over the task of assigning and selecting other maidservants to Liu Niang. But now her precious second son had lost his purity to a lowly maid — this was something Xu Shuhui couldnever tolerate!
“l entrusted you with the important responsibility of managing the maid servants within the mansion, and this is how you repayme!” Her cold eyes were filled with disappointment, her voice trembling with anger.
Liu Niang, a woman near forty with preserved charm, maintained a good figure despite not practicing martial arts. Althoughwrinkles had started to surface on her face, her youthful beauty was still discernible. She wept and repentantly said, “I failed yourkindness, my lady. But Miao Zhu was always a shy and timid lass. | specifically assigned her to work in the study room. | can’timagine how she mustered the courage to entice the young master!”
Furious at Liu Niang’s unwillingness to take responsibility and attempting to speak up for the immodest servant, Xu Shuhuicovered her chest, feeling all these years of affection for the maid turn sour.
“Mistress, calm down,” advised Chang Le who had been standing by, witnessing Xu Shuhui’s agitation. “What Mrs. Liu said mightnot be groundless. Why don’t we ask Miao Zhu’s roommates for more information? We don’t want to punish an innocent girl.”
Chang Le was the eldest son of Chang Fu. Because Chang Fu had to assist Tang Sen in handling the affairs of the Martial Halland had no time to manage the mansion chores, he delegated the stewardship into several parts to several stewards of the TangMansion. Chang Le was one of them.
Inheriting his father’s kind character, Chang Le wasn’t hasty in passing a judgment. But his decision wasn’t recognized byanother steward — Manager Xu! 5
“Manager Chang, you're mistaken! Even disregarding the fact that the young master is a simple and honest lad who would notbe interested in impure matters, merely the fact that this maid dared to enter the Young Master’s private chambers is a capitaloffense. Regardless of her reasons, she has transgressed her boundaries. This maid deserves to be killed!” Manager Xu, with asharp look in his eyes, placed full blame on Miao Zhu.
Xu Shuhui nodded in agreement, finding Manager Xu’s argument more convincing. Today’s incident wasn’t merely about a maidor a servant girl seducing a warrior. It was a far graver matter — the loss of Tang Xing’s purity! Her management of the servants
and maids in the mansion was by no means unkind. In the mansions of other powerful families, the servants and maid servantsbelonged solely to their masters, being used as rewards for their servants, or to entertain guests.
But she allowed them to choose their bond, whether it be the family guards or the warriors of the mansion. As long as the otherparty was willing to propose formally, she didn’t mind granting these girls some freedom. For those who were older, she wouldeven add a dowry.
In her day-to-day leadership, she was always forgiving, never inflicting unfair punishment.
The rules m the mansion were relaxed, with the strictest one being that her sons devoted themselves to martial arts and shouldnot be tempted, to avoid any distractions.
But even this modest requirement was overlooked and ignored, which clearly indicated the extent of Xu Shuhui’s anger.
“Manager Xu is absolutely right! How could my son ever be attracted to such a woman, and why would we need a servant totestify to uncover the truth?” Xu Shuhui, with a frown of anger, grabbed her younger son’s arm.
The boy, who had been hanging his head low, trembled as Xu Shuhui pulled his arm, looking up to see his mother’s angry face,an additional flash of terror crossing his features.
Xu Shuhui, watching her son’sterrified expression, felt a pang in herheart. Her rage subsided as shegently rubbed his augue.asked, ‘Roptpastate ; Xing’er.Marhny’s here. Tell me, did you bringthis maid into your room?” The boy'seyes were filled with terror. Afterglancing at his mother and then atthe maid kneeling silently on the hallfloor, he stuttered: “N...no, it wasn'tme that brought her.” He thenlowered his head again.

All the attention was on the young lord’s statement, who would notice the despair in the eyes of the kneeling maid?
This was a kind of desolation and pain that words could hardly describe. But such a shocking expression went unnoticed byeveryone.
Upon hearing the young lord’s words, Manager Chang could only shake his head with a bitter smile, while Manager Xu’smurderous intent intensified.
As for Xu Shuhui, she didn’t need to say anything. Seeing her son in such a frightened state, she blamed Miao Zhu foreverything.
“Drag her out! Beat her to death withrandom sticks... Let all the maidservants see this as an example pfwhat h pepe tothds who seducete young master!” This was the firsttime Xu Shuhui had issued such anexecution order m the mansion.

If her son, as a consequence of this matter, loses his martial foundation and drowns himself in lust, she wouldn’t know how toface Tang Sen.
Upon hearing Miao Zhu’s punishment, Tang Xing could not help but tremble.
