Poison Genius Consort

o meticulous, or else I’d have no idea what to do.

Lady Xiao quickly looked towards Ning Jing as she fell to her knees.
“Lady Jing, I beg you…”

“Whatever you want to say, take it outside,” Ning Jing cut her off.
She headed out the door, passing right by Xiao Lan without sparing her a glance.
Lady Tang soon followed with Lady Xiao pleading behind her back.
Xiao Lan remained sitting in the room, filled with endless despair.

She finally realized that she was over!

Not only had she lost Tang Li, her secret was also exposed.
It was true, she’d lost her virginity long ago.

—

There was no need for explanations outside when Lady Xiao’s begging revealed everything.
Tang Zijin and Fifth Elder were left gaping as they heard the truth with disbelieving ears.
If nothing had happened between Tang Li and Xiao Lan, then didn’t that mean Xiao Lan…was already…

“Unfilial daughter!” Fifth Elder roared, his chest stifled.
He had difficulty breathing as he almost collapsed with rage.
Lady Xiao went to support him as she patted his back.

“Old father, old father…”

“Well, well! I suspect you knew all along!” Fifth Elder violently shook her off.

Lady Xiao’s face was scarlet as she was filled with shame.
Last year, her daughter had gotten involved with one of the disciples in the weapons manufacturing team.
After she found out, it was already too late.
She had no other choice but to conceal the truth!

Tang Zijin suffered the greatest shock of all.
He had taken a long time before settling on Fifth Elder’s daughter Xiao Lan.
Who knew that the girl wasn’t even a virgin! He could only gape wordlessly while Lady Tang fixed him with a mocking look.

Ning Jing walked to Tang Li’s side.
He was knitting his brows at her, uncertain of what to say.
Ning Jing rose on tiptoes and cradled his face.
“It’s fine now…it’s fine! You still belong to no one else but me.”

Tang Li wrapped arms around her and held her tight.
“Jing’er,” he murmured, “I almost…I almost thought you didn’t want me anymore.”

Ning Jing’s eyes flickered with grief, but she didn’t reply.
Tang Li then pulled her behind him to take care of the rest.

“Fifth Elder, this clan head will give you two choices! One, the Xiao Clan offended the clan head’s wife and will be demoted to hired laborers.
Two, this clan head will help you track down Xiao Lan’s man and have him take her away in case she randomly claims other men again!”

Tang Li’s words were pure venom!

Fifth Elder’s world was about to fall apart, while Xiao Lan rushed out from the building in shock.
She looked at Tang Li in disbelief, never expecting him to be so brutal!

The Xiao Clan had followed the Tang Clan for centuries! They had always held a position in the Council of Elders, but now he wanted them to be hired laborers?!

What were hired laborers? The lowest class of workers in the Tang Clan in charge of heating up the seal and raw materials! Tang Li was clearly threatening them.
If they didn’t agree to this work, would he publicize the accounts of her impure body?

Xiao Lan wasn’t smart enough to realize that Tang Li was using this method to “kill chickens to warn the monkeys.” He wanted the entire Tang Clan to know that he, Tang Li, was the leader who called the shots.
If anyone else tried something against him or disrespected Ning Jing, they would have to shoulder the consequences themselves!

Xiao Lan had no power to decide for the clan.
Fifth Elder looked towards Tang Zijin with a pleading glance, but he was helpless too! If Tang Li really did something against the girl, then there’d be room to talk.
But Tang Li hadn’t even touched her, so how could he convince his son to take responsibility? What reasons were there to keep Xiao Lan? Even the sight of her repulsed him now.

He thought it over and considered that there was still a chance to save Fifth Elder even if Xiao Lan was a lost cause.
But before he could speak, Tang LI declared coldly, “Father, if you think I can’t handle the Tang Clan well enough, then I’ll leave.
My big brother desperately needs more helpers by his side!”

Tang Zijin’s face blanched before his expression turned black.
Tang Li wasn’t just threatening to leave, but also warning him with Xuanyuan Ye! After all, he had vied in both light and shadow with Baili Yuanlong, guarded against the Di Clan, and worked desperately hard all for the sake of the Tang Clan, but all of that paled in comparison to Xuanyuan Ye’s single sentence of blame.

Suppose Tang Li’s matters angered him? He had no idea what the consequences would be.

Tang Zijin sighed and said, “You be the judge! You can decide whatever you like!” He tossed his sleeves and walked off.
What was the point of vying for so many things? None of that could stand up to a Tang Li who’d recovered his senses!

He could only console himself that with Tang Li now sane, NIng JIng wouldn’t be able to take over the Tang Clan alone.
Moreover, Xuanyuan Ye would entrust many important tasks to his little brother.
As long as the Tang Clan had no risk of falling into the Di Clan’s hands, he didn’t want to bother with any extra details.

Fifth Elder truly lost all hope when he saw the ex-clan head walk away.
His bluster and bravado from before all stood on the strength of the ex-clan head backing him.
Now that Tang Zijin had washed his hands of the matter, how was he supposed to resist Tang Li by himself?

“Looks like Fifth Elder really wants to know who your son-in-law might be? Sure! This clan head will have people ask around everywhere!” Tang Li said coldly.

“No no! This subordinate…this subordinate knows my wrongs.
This subordinate is willing to be a hired laborer!” Fifth Elder said desperately.

But Xiao Lan suddenly laughed at Tang Li as she cried, “Tang Li, didn’t Ning Jing drug you at the start as well? Why can’t I? Why! Heheh, how much purer is Ning Jing than me?”
