Chapter 252 Holding a Candle to the Devil

In the dark night, with the strong winds, roaring thunder, heavy rain, and frightening lightning, every creature could not fall asleep and was in fear.

Inside the house, the woman’s cry was urgent, and there was a man’s persuasion.

The man said, “Miss, follow me, you’ll wear fine clothes and jewelry, you will not have to worry about eating and drinking, and you will enjoy a lifetime of blessings. Don’t reject it, it’s good for you.”

The woman begged, “Master, don’t do this, it won’t work, please let me go…”

The begging was mixed with screams which was alarming.

Zhang Yunyan paused. He was familiar with the voice of the man, and it was unlike the voice of Red Hair King Ghost.

Besides, Red Hair King Ghost just wanted to vent his desire for momentary pleasure and later would eat flesh and blood. He would not live with her forever.

Could it be the monster Monoclonius here?

Although Yunyan hadn’t seen the monster or heard his voice, and couldn’t confirm it for a while, she didn’t think it would be the guy. After all, the Monoclonius was a monster. Like Red Hair King Ghost, how could it stay with the woman in the house for a lifetime?

Who was this man? How dare he be so pretentious in Yan Xiaopeng’s mansion? Was he not afraid to cause trouble?

Zhang Yunyan listened for a while and confirmed that the man in the house was not Red Hair King Ghost, nor was it Monoclonius. She finally relieved. Here, she had nothing to fear except Red Hair King Ghost and Monoclonius.

This woman called the man master, who was this “master”? Was he the son of Yan Xiaopeng, who was killing people here?

Yunyan snorted secretly. No matter whom he was, if he dared to bully a woman here, she would never let it go.

She gently pierced the window paper and looked at the room. Seeing a man holding a woman to persuade her, she recognized at a glance that this person was Yan Xiaopeng’s butler.

Suddenly, Zhang Yunyan’s anger surged through her, and the tension and fear disappeared immediately. This guy was a fierce ghost of Living Yama, and was bullying someone. It was really hateful here.

This guy also would help Yan Xiaopeng to go to Lianhu Village to hurt the villagers. She wouldn’t let him go, and he must be punished severely.

Zhang Yunyan looked at the woman, and secretly admired that she was such a rare beauty.

The woman was very young. She looked like a flower and was more beautiful than a fairy. No one could match her. The tears on her face didn’t hide the amazing beauty. She was crying and struggling, but had no strength to break free of the butler. She was both painful and fearful.

Yunyan held back his anger, and wanted to listen to it and see what was going on before taking actions.

The butler’s face was full of desire, and ogling at the beautiful girl, his heart was already drunk.

He was still persuading her, “Miss, I thought of it when I saw you yesterday. I wish I could hold you in my arms immediately, but I dare not. I’m not afraid of your mocking. I saw you in my dream last night. I really like you so much.”

During the conversation, his saliva dripped and fell on the woman. He did not care to wipe his mouth, and was still holding the beloved woman.

Zhang Yunyan glared at the hateful guy and snorted. You had only yourself to blame. You held a candle to the devil, and when you wanted to cry, it would be too late.

The butler added, “Miss, you are too beautiful, and it is difficult to see a beautiful woman like you all over the county. You and Master Yan’s concubine are comparable. Both of you are so beautiful and very charming like fairies sent from above? Well, if it weren’t for the fact that I had to go to the Lianhu Village tomorrow to collect debts from the poor, I would have come to you.

The woman was discouraging, struggling, crying and weeping. Her screaming was both fearful and helpless.

The butler was very excited. He was kissing the charming face, and the restless hands were also acting crudely. However, his filthy heart was even drunk.

He was very excited and sighed, “The two of us have finally gotten together, and will be together for a lifetime. I’m so happy. Tonight, it is the wedding night. Let’s have a good time. You are so beautiful. I can’t get enough to see you and love you!”

The beloved beautiful girl was in his arms, and the butler’s body and mind were full of passion. Ogling at the charming face, his eyes had been squeezed into a seam when he grinned.

In passion, his mouth was still moving excitedly, “Miss, to tell you the truth, Master Yan wanted to treat you as a doll, but I begged him to let you go. Now, the master promised me to marry you, so don’t worry about being bullied by your master. When you marry me, you have a title and dependency. It is your blessing and you should be happy.”

“No, sir, I already have married. Please let me go. I will appreciate you in this life.”

While talking, she couldn’t avoid the restless hand and screamed again and again.

“Hey, you look so beautiful and it’s hard to find. It’s not easy for the master to promise me. How can I let you go? Besides, you can’t get out of the Yan Mansion without the master’s permission. Well, don’t think about it. Take it easy and live a good life with me.”

“No, absolutely not, please, please send me out now.”

“Miss, you have just arrived, and you don’t know Master Yan. He is a man of word. No matter who you are, you must obey him. If you don’t agree to marry me, you are not obeying the command of the master, and he will deal with you tomorrow. By then, you will be treated as a plaything by the master again. No one can save you, and I can do nothing about it. What a terrible thing. Now that you are my lady, don’t think about it, the previous marriage contract is not counted. From now on, you and I will be husband and wife.”

The beautiful girl he had been missing was in his arms. He no longer had to “think about it…” and could really do “joyful things”.

“Master, my father and mother had long got me engaged. How can it not be counted? That is the wish of my father and mother when they were alive, and I must obey. Please let me go.”

The woman kept struggling and screaming from time to time. She was begging hard, her voice trembling, and she cried.

The butler hugged her tightly, and would not let the beauty that he finally got leave.

He was still persuading her that the woman had come to this place and married him was because of fate, and she should accept it.

In other words, he begged the master and saved her, otherwise he could only be a living thing for Living Yama. Just in order to repay her kindness, she should also promise her marriage. Her refusal was not reasonable.

The butler was persuading her, feeling a little irritable, and his dissatisfaction was growing.

The woman was grateful for the butler’s rescue, and was willing to repay him. Other things were acceptable except the marriage. She begged and refused, but could not break free.

Zhang Yunyan understood that the butler begged Yan Xiaopeng was for that woman in the house. He was threatening her, and was ready to bully her. She was angrier and was ready to rush in to punish the guy.

“As the saying goes, when women grow up, it’s time for marriage. As you are old enough for marriage, you can marry me and it’s lucky for you. Besides, you have escaped and you should be content. Otherwise, when you are in the hands of the master, you can only play with him. There is no way to stop that. Those days when you have no freedom are terrible if you think about it. How can you live through this?”

Butler was patient and was still convincing her.

Zhang Yunyan was angry and exhaled, ready to act.

The butler also said, “This is not the most terrible situation. The concubine hates the woman who is loved by the master. She will fight for her husband and will not let you go. She will try to trap you and you will sooner or later be killed. This kind of thing has happened for a long time, more than once. How terrible. Even if you can save your life, the master will not let you stay in the house all the time. When he gets tired of you, he will see you to the whorehouse. Wouldn’t it be worse?”

He reassured the women, and guaranteed her that he would soon marry her. Even though she was the second wife, her position was much stronger than the first wife.

He wouldn’t leave the second lady alone. Instead, he would take her with him, and she would take care of his salary. Speaking of which, she was the real hostess, and the first wife wouldn’t compare to her.

The butler has long been obsessed with this beauty, and couldn’t wait to hug her day and night, how could she leave her alone. In fact, he couldn’t do without this woman, because he was afraid to leave himself alone.

The woman still refused, and was still struggling to resist.

The butler glared at her with some dissatisfaction, “Speaking of which, I’m not only your husband, but also your benefactor. You must know the rule of repaying favors. It’s natural to do this kind of thing with your husband, and even to your benefactor, you shouldn’t refuse. You should be obedient. It’s too unreasonable for you to push against each other.”

The butler advised the women to be obedient. Tonight it was the wedding night. When they were intimate in the bed, it would not only made them happy physically and mentally, but also enhance the relationship between husband and wife. So why refuse?

At this moment, he felt a surge of desire in his heart, and each hair was full of passion and impatience.

The merry good things could no longer be “in his mind…” Regardless of whether the woman promised or not, he immediately took off her dress and was ready to do it.

“No, sir, no! Sir, sir, please let me go…”

The woman was still crying, refusing and screaming. Despite being unable to break free, she still did not agree.

“What are you talking about? I didn’t want you to die. I just want to play with you and marry you later. Don’t think about it, this is a natural thing. The marriage is settled tonight. But just go one step further. Besides, marriage is a big event in life. No woman will refuse it.”

“There is no proposal, no marriage contract, and no marriage rituals. How can we say that we are husband and wife? We can’t do this.”

“This is the Yan Mansion. The word of Master Yan is a marriage contract. He promised me to let me marry you as my second wife and let me come to you tonight. You and me, we are husband and wife, and no one will object it. You are too rigid. Since we are a couple, it’s time to spend the night together. Why wait until we are married. If you can have children earlier, you are the true hostess. My wife, don’t say no. This is the bridal chamber, and this is the night of the consummation. Let’s have a good night happily together.”

The woman cried and begged: “Master, I already have a husband. Aren’t you ruining me? Please let me go…”
