Chapter 82 Liu Yi, am I cheating? (Daily reading 4 times, days, please subscribe)
Zuo Sima's Mansion was large with many rooms, but Mrs. Hu was eager to know the news that Yang Chong brought, so she chose a room closest to the pond, which was also the room where she used to take a nap.

The room is not big, but it is decorated very elegantly. Perhaps it is because she was spoiled since childhood. Even though she married Liu Yi, whom she did not like, she was treated as a treasure by Liu Yi. Even though Mrs. Hu is not young anymore, her girlish heart has not completely disappeared, which can be seen from the occasional pink tones in the room. No wonder her sister, Lady Hu, likes peach pink clothes, it turns out that it is also a family color.

Mrs. Hu didn't know that Yang Chong was observing her room. The moment Yang Chong entered the room, Mrs. Hu hurriedly pushed the door closed.

In Zuo Sima's Mansion, everyone was Liu Yi's slaves, but she was looking for her daughter and Li Kai. She knew that Liu Yi must not know about this matter no matter what, so she had to keep it secret.

"Sir, have you found out any information?" Mrs. Hu, who had been suppressed all the way, couldn't wait to grab Yang Chong's hand the moment she closed the door.

"Don't panic, ma'am. Let's talk slowly." Yang Chong held Madam Hu's hand with his backhand, and his other arm had already been placed behind Madam Hu without anyone noticing.

I don’t know if it’s because Yan Lingji only likes to start fires and is not responsible for putting them out, or because Madam Hu looks easy to bully, but Yang Chongduo’s thoughts are wandering at this moment.

"Yes, yes, sir, please take your time." Mrs. Hu nodded repeatedly when she heard this. The movement of her neck drove her shoulders, vibrating her collarbone, causing ripples to form.

"Based on the clues provided by the madam, I have deduced and searched for the past half month and have roughly found the location of the madam's daughter." Yang Chong said.

"Is she okay?" Mrs. Hu couldn't help but tighten her grip on Yang Chong's hand.

"It's not bad. Although I don't have any relatives, I have a group of friends who are like sisters to me." Yang Chong said.

"Sister, friend?" Mrs. Hu asked in surprise.

"Of course, it's still not certain. Although the people I found match the clues provided by Madam, whether she is Madam's daughter or not still needs Madam to confirm it personally." Yang Chong said.

"Let's go now." Mrs. Hu was so excited that she pulled Yang Chong and prepared to go out.

"Don't worry, ma'am. The place where that person is is closed during the day." Yang Chong comforted the restless Mrs. Hu.

"The door is closed during the day, and there are sisters? The place you are talking about is..." A word flashed through Mrs. Hu's mind, that place.

"Yes, it is the place of romance, Zi Lan Xuan." Yang Chong said.

"Zi Lan Xuan?" Mrs. Hu was completely stunned when she heard the name. Her sad eyes were filled with tears. Zi Lan Xuan was the most famous place of entertainment in Korea. Even a wealthy lady like Mrs. Hu had heard of its name. Mrs. Hu could imagine what Zi Lan Xuan meant to a woman.

Mrs. Hu felt heartbroken when she thought of her daughter wandering in this place of pleasure and becoming a woman despised by others. All this was because of her, because of her incompetence and weakness back then.

When Mrs. Hu thought that her daughter's tragic fate was caused by herself, she could no longer control her tears and burst into tears.

Yang Chong looked at the crying Mrs. Hu quietly, stroking her back with his hand. The touch was even more delicate under the soft fabric, but now he was still very clear about what he was going to do.

Mrs. Hu, who became increasingly powerless while crying, became even weaker. She leaned towards Yang Chong subconsciously. Her tears seemed to have taken away too much of her strength, so that she fell into Yang Chong's arms without her knowing when.

"Don't worry, ma'am. The woman is very well protected by the boss of Zilanxuan. She is not what you imagine." Seeing that Madam Hu no longer had the strength to cry, Yang Chong explained.

"Really?" Mrs. Hu asked with a tearful face.

"Really? Madam will know when the time comes." Yang Chong affirmed.

"Can you tell me about her situation?" asked Mrs. Hu.

"Madam, why don't you wipe your face first?" Yang Chong pointed at Mrs. Hu's already blushing face.

"I..." Mrs. Hu then realized her current situation. She found herself lying in Yang Chong's arms. Her body had lost some elasticity due to the passing of time, but it had gained a softness that a young girl never had.

It was squeezed and rippled like a ball of water.

"Sorry, I lost my composure." Mrs. Hu quickly took a few steps back, putting some distance between herself and Yang Chong, with a blush on her crying face.

"Can you tell me about her situation?" Mrs. Hu took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped her face before asking Yang Chong.

"Her name is Nong Yu, and she is the zither player of Zi Lan Xuan..." As Yang Chong narrated, the image of Nong Yu slowly appeared in front of Mrs. Hu.

"Nongyu, Nongyu..." Mrs. Hu murmured, an image emerged in her mind, and she only hated that time passed too slowly. "Madam, can you tell me your story?" Yang Chong asked.

"My story, my story is not very good." Mrs. Hu hesitated, but still told her story to Yang Chong. At this time, Yang Chong had become the most trustworthy person in Mrs. Hu's eyes.

A carefree young lady of Huoyu Villa had her fate changed because of the appearance of the Korean army. Because of the Korean army, she met Li Kai, the man she loved most in her life, and then they had their own daughter. But just when she was looking forward to a better life in the future, it changed because of the appearance of a group of bandits. Huoyu Villa was destroyed, and Li Kai's life or death was unknown. In the war, she was separated from her daughter. Later, she and her sister came to Xinzheng with the Korean army. One married Liu Yi, the left Sima, and the other entered the palace and became Concubine Hu of King Han An.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, but am I really useless?" After telling her story, Mrs. Hu asked Yang Chong quietly.

"In troubled times, no one can truly control their own destiny. It's already very difficult to just stay alive," said Yang Chong.

Is Mrs. Hu strong? Of course not, but in this chaotic world, it is not easy for a man to survive, so who can ask anything of this woman?
"Hey, when are we going to Zilanxuan?" asked Mrs. Hu. Now she just wanted to see Nongyu, her daughter, as soon as possible.

"Madam, you can go whenever it is convenient for you," said Yang Chong.

"Is it okay tonight?" Mrs. Hu asked anxiously.

"Okay, I'll take my leave first. It's getting late. Madam can go out at night. I'll be waiting for you outside the house." Yang Chong said.

"Okay." Mrs. Hu nodded.

Not long after Yang Chong left, the owner of Zuo Sima Mansion also returned from the military camp. Liu Yi took off his armor and asked the housekeeper beside him, "Is there anything going on in the mansion today?"

"Master, there is nothing happening in the mansion today, but the matter with Madam..." The butler said with a hint of hesitation.

"What's wrong with Madam?" Liu Yi's face changed when he heard that.

"A young man came today, claiming to be Madam's nephew. She then talked to Madam in the piano room next to the pond and stayed there for an hour." said the housekeeper.

"Madam is from the land of Baiyue. How can she have any relatives, let alone nephews?" Liu Yi frowned when he heard this. Knowing that his wife's heart was not with him, he was very sensitive about the fact that Madam Hu had contact with strange men.

"You said they stayed in the piano room for an hour?" Liu Yi's doubt only lasted for a moment, and the next moment he realized a more serious problem.

"What kind of young man is that?" Liu Yi asked hurriedly, realizing the seriousness of the situation.

"He is about twenty years old, quite handsome and well-mannered." The butler swallowed, he could see that something was wrong with Liu Yi.

"Okay, I got it. Let's just leave it at that and pretend it never happened." Liu Yi said. He paid a lot of attention to the word 'handsome'. He knew that Mrs. Hu was a person who cared more about appearance. Li Kai was like that back then, and so was this... this so-called 'nephew' now.

"Yes."

After the housekeeper left, Liu Yi became more and more annoyed, and finally he decided to go and ask.

"He is really my nephew. Back then, several of my cousins ​​married to the State of Chu. Later, due to the changes in Huoyu Villa, we lost contact. Now we are just getting in touch again." Faced with Liu Yi's questioning, Mrs. Hu, who was not very good at lying, could only give a reluctant explanation.

There was no way she would let Liu Yi know that she was looking for her daughter, and the best way to hide a lie was to tell another lie.

"So that's how it is. This is a good thing. Find a day and ask Madam to bring our nephew here. He is alone in Korea and we must take good care of him. Then I can consider him and if he is suitable, I can help him find a job." Liu Yi said calmly, but his hands tucked into his sleeves had unconsciously clenched into fists.

Madam, Madam, you are really not suitable for lying! Why is it that after so many years, your heart is still so far away from me? Back then it was for Li Kai, and now it is for that nephew. How can I not know whether you have a nephew? After putting out the fire in Yushan Villa in person, I can be afraid of cutting the grass without removing the root. Liu Yi thought about it and gritted his teeth.

At this time, Liu Yi was completely certain that his wife was lying to him, and why did she lie to him? Liu Yi could already guess.

"Then I would like to thank my husband very much." Mrs. Hu was only thinking about dealing with Liu Yi. Fortunately, she was going to Zi Lan Xuan to see her daughter Nong Yu tonight, so she added a bit of flattery in her words.

But she didn't know that her gentleness and caution had turned into something else when it came to Liu Yi.

"Okay, you and I are husband and wife, so there is no need to be so formal. I'm going to the military camp tonight, so you can just rest by yourself, madam." Liu Yi said.

At this moment, Liu Yi had a premonition: I was cheated.
