Chapter 500: Opportunities in Chapter 500 Chapter 500: Opportunities in Chapter 500 Big Bull watched Xuexue jump into the mansion before he turned to pursue Butcher Yu.

If it hadn’t been for the fear of revealing his illustrious identity as the War Prince and scaring Xuexue away, he wouldn’t have had to live such a hard life, handling everything himself. With a mere wave of his hand, a Hidden Guard would have solved his problems. While thinking this, Big Bull reluctantly followed the direction in which Butcher Yu had departed.

The pursuit of a wife is long indeed! He still needed to keep at it!

The garden was filled with various types of flowers and plants, blooming brilliantly–it was quite beautiful, suggesting that someone in this household enjoyed gardening.

Xuexue walked a few steps, unsure of which direction to go, when suddenly, from a room near the garden, voices could be heard. She quickly crouched down and crept toward the room.

Perhaps because this area was secluded, there were no maids or servant boys in sight.

“Old Master Chen, come, have some tea,” came Auntie Sun’s coquettish voice from inside the room, softening anyone’s bones who listened.

“Ah haha! Very well!” responded a man’s voice.

Xuexue silently approached the window, looked around to make sure no one was there, licked her fingertip, and gently poked a hole in the paper window to peek inside.

Inside, Auntie Sun’s face was blooming like a flower as she sat on the lap of an old man, holding a teacup to his lips.

Xuexue knew that this man was Old Master Chen.

Old Master Chen seemed to be quite aged, around fifty or sixty, and very corpulent, plump as a ball. Although he was nearly sixty, his face was smooth and rosy, clearly showing he was often nourished with tonics.

“My lady, let’s not delay any longer. In a little while, the madam will return from the temple where she went to offer incense. We won’t have time for intimacy then, so let’s get down to business,” Old Master Chen urged impatiently.

In the town, Old Master Chen was known to be under strict supervision by his wife. Though wealthy, he had never taken a concubine. In his youth, his wife was as beautiful as a flower, which was bearable, but now, as she aged and her face wrinkled, his interest waned.

He started looking at other young women, yet, living in fear of his wife all his life, he remained cautious. Every month on the fifteenth, while she went to pray at the temple, he would secretly have the steward bring a young girl to spend some private time with.

However, once it was time, he had to send the girl away before his wife returned. Ultimately, he was still very afraid of his wife.

This surreptitious affair had been going on for two years, and not once had his wife discovered it. Old Master Chen felt quite proud of this fact.

To enjoy the company of a beautiful woman while maintaining a harmonious family was a joy indeed!

Auntie Sun began to sow discord: “Old Master Chen, it’s not that I’m being nosy, but you are the head of the household–a big man. How can you still be afraid of a woman?”

“Heh! It’s all for the sake of family harmony; every family has its own difficulties.” With a beauty in his arms, Old Master Chen was distracted, his mind fully occupied by Auntie Sun.

Being a wealthy man and one of the richest in town, Auntie Sun had set her sights on him the moment she arrived. Though the old man was older, his vast wealth made him a lucrative catch. If she became his concubine, she could not only escape Butcher Yu but perhaps even secure a household registration for herself. The only downside was the presence of a ‘tiger’ at home. She needed to devise a way to make the couple fall out, which would give her an opportunity to step in.
