Growing Bigger and Stronger, Creating New Glory

"Yu Qiushuang, what exactly are you going to do?"

Blood trickled from the corner of Yu Hongzhu's mouth, and the slap mark on her face was very obvious. Yu Qiushuang felt a strange sense of satisfaction looking at her hysterical state, and even felt that the hatred in Yu Hongzhu's eyes was a compliment to herself.

At that moment, she realized that Cao Hansheng was not quite right. People should take their own destiny into their own hands, but that's not enough. They should also take the destiny of others into their own hands.

"Sister, you used to be my sister, but think about the disgusting things you've done. Do you deserve to be my sister, Yu Qiushuang's sister?"

You look down on Yu Mulan, and I look down on that good-for-nothing of his either, but what's the difference between you and him? He stole my best friend, and you seduced my fiancé. Now look at you two, you're a perfect match.

Actually, it's nothing much, the damage's done anyway. But because you joined the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance, this will bring utter destruction to Jade City, Yu Hongzhu, you truly deserve to die.

Upon hearing Yu Qiushuang's words, Yu Hongzhu was stunned. What did she mean by "the meat is already rotten in the pot"? Was this still her own sister? Could she be possessed by a ghost? She must have been bewitched by that nameless man.

"Sister, you don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household. After our father passed away, Yucheng was on the verge of collapse. This heavy burden is on my shoulders. For Yucheng, for our Yu family, what can I do?"

"Without the help of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance, Jade City would have been divided up long ago, and we sisters don't know what would have become of us. That Blood Hand Sword Wumingzi has the blood of countless families and sects on his hands. Your trust in him will only lead to the destruction of Jade City."

"Hehe, what a fine example of someone who is devoted to the Yu family, so you slept with your future brother-in-law just because he is the grandson of the prime minister. We sisters share one husband. It would be better to destroy the Yu family."

As for Mr. Cao you mentioned, even if he killed many people, it wouldn't be as bad as the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance's misdeeds. Oh, right, there's something I forgot to tell you. I personally killed Yu Mulan and that bitch Yun Jiao. Don't worry, with me here, Yu City won't be in chaos.

I have prepared two versions of the story: the City Lord of Yucheng seduced the eldest daughter of the Yun family, and was caught by the City Lord's wife, Yu Hongzhu. After a struggle, Yu Hongzhu killed the adulterous couple and then chose to go into seclusion to cultivate, passing the position of City Lord of Yucheng to the second daughter of the Yu family.

If you don't like this explanation, there's another one: Yu Mulan, the lord of Yucheng, is a compulsive gambler and has accumulated a lot of debt. In order to pay off his debts and also to gain access to the wealth of Yucheng...

He seduced Yun Jiao, the best friend of Yu Qiushuang, the second young lady of the Yu family. The two conspired to murder the city lord's wife, Yu Hongzhu. Then they tried to murder Yu Qiushuang, but Yu Qiushuang saw through their scheme. During the fight, they killed Yu Mulan and Yun Jiao.

"Sister, to be honest, I prefer the second one. But don't worry, you're my own sister after all. How could I bear to kill you? I'll raise you here and let you watch how I make Jade City bigger and stronger, and create new glories."

"Yu Qiushuang, what do you know? With your mediocre skills, how could you possibly maintain Yucheng's standing in the martial arts world? Blood Hand Sword Wumingzi is definitely lying to you. By the time you realize his treacherous intentions, it will be too late."

"Sister, didn't you set an example for me? Just like you said, for the sake of Yucheng, you can join the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance and sleep with your future brother-in-law."

I can do that too. I can have a child with Mr. Cao. Everything in Yucheng will belong to that child in the future. Even if he schemes against me, he will still take care of Yucheng for the sake of the child.

Although I don't know how high his martial arts skills are, the fact that he could take you and Zongzheng Mingzhu down in one move shows that if he can't protect Yucheng, then who can? Do you really expect Li Xiangyi to come back to life?

Upon hearing Yu Qiushuang's words, Yu Hongzhu completely broke down. "Yu Qiushuang, you idiot! You've been sold out and you're still helping them count the money! You're such a shameless slut..."

Before she could finish cursing, Yu Qiushuang sealed her speech acupoint. "Sister, do you know, seeing you like this makes me really happy."

"Go ahead and curse if you want. You must live as long as possible in this dark and gloomy dungeon." Then she pushed Yu Hongzhu aside with all her might, and looked at Zongzheng Mingzhu. "And you, too, you must live well."

"Qiu Shuang, Qiu Shuang, what happened between your sister and me isn't what you think. She seduced me. And you can't treat me like this. My grandfather is the prime minister. If you let me go, I promise I can protect Yu Cheng and you."

"Haha, hahaha, my dear sister, look at your lover! He's truly a scoundrel who's all show and no substance. You're really blind! Yu Mulan is just a pretty face with no substance, a gambling addict, and Zongzheng Mingzhu is a treacherous villain."

Seeing Yu Hongzhu's expression of wanting to say something but unable to, Yu Qiushuang laughed wildly a few times before slapping Zongzheng Mingzhu across the face.

"Zongzheng Mingzhu, I used to think you were a gentleman, but you are disgusting. You two adulterers are a perfect match, a bitch and a dog. You want to get out? Dream on. Even if you die here, I will bury you here."

After Yu Qiushuang had vented her anger, she threw Yu Hongzhu and Zongzheng Mingzhu back into the cell, then went back to her courtyard to take a good bath. After dressing up carefully, she went to Cao Hansheng's courtyard.

When she knocked on the door and entered the house, Cao Hansheng also came to the living room. Cao Hansheng looked at her exquisite makeup and thought she was really pretty. It was a pity that if Yu Hongzhu had been a well-behaved girl, the two sisters would definitely have been more interesting.

"Why aren't you resting so late? What brings you here?"

Yu Qiushuang bowed to Cao Hansheng. "Mr. Cao, now that Yucheng has offended the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance, the current Prime Minister, and those other forces that are eyeing Yucheng covetously, how could Qiushuang possibly sleep?"

"so what?"

"Qiushuang hopes that you, sir, can take charge of Yucheng. For this reason, Qiushuang is willing to respect you as the most important person in the city."

"You're overthinking it. I have no interest in Yucheng's industries. The reason I'm willing to help you is firstly because I see you as somewhat pitiful, and secondly because of Di Feisheng, the leader of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance in the back mountains of Yucheng. So you don't need to test me."

"If Qiushuang begs you to stay, will you stay?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but if I'm not mistaken, my business will be completed in half a month, at which point I will leave Yucheng. I can help you during this time, but you'll have to rely on yourself in the future."

Upon hearing this, Yu Qiushuang knelt down on the ground with a thud. "With your help, Qiushuang was able to jump out of the well like a frog at the bottom of a well to get a glimpse of the world. I will never forget your great kindness."

However, Yu Cheng's vast estate is beyond Qiu Shuang's control alone. I beg you, sir, to have mercy and assist me. I am willing to serve you as a servant to repay your kindness. Sir, you wouldn't bear to see me fall back into the well after only getting to the edge, would you?

"Sigh, now that I think about it, I don't know if helping you or hurting you was a good thing or a bad thing. Sometimes being a little confused isn't a bad thing. With your current second-rate skills, it's really a bit difficult for you to suppress the whole of Jade City."

"Sir, please help Qiushuang."

"Get up first. Let me think about this. There'll always be a solution. It's getting early, why don't you go and rest?"

"It's late and the dew is heavy, so let Qiushuang serve you, sir."

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

"Whatever decision you make, sir, I will have no complaints. Tonight, I am serving you willingly, so please have mercy on me..."
