The Deepest Affection in Qin's Time

He already had the answer in his heart.

He was the Right Sima of Han, holding military power in one region. Without the instruction of King An of Han, how could Bai Yifei dare to easily deal with him?

He simply hadn't expected that King An of Han would ultimately choose to compromise with the Bai family in order to consolidate his throne.

"So, was the massacre of my entire family also the work of Bai Yifei?"

Mrs. Hu couldn't help but choke up.

Li Kai shook his head and said, "It's not him, it's the Three Wolves with Broken Hair and Liu Yi."

Cao Yuan added, "Liu Yi coveted Madam Hu and the treasure of Huoyu Manor. So after dealing with you, he contacted Duanfa Sanlang and others who were committing crimes in Baiyue to conspire to wipe out Huoyu Manor."

Madam Hu was stunned. She never expected that the enemy who had wiped out her entire family was her current husband, Liu Yi... She was so heartbroken that she could hardly breathe.

Cao Yuan put his arm around Madam Hu's shoulder and gently comforted her, "Madam, don't be sad. I'm here, and I will definitely avenge you."

Li Kai couldn't help but ask, "Can you tell me where my daughter is now?"

Before Cao Yuan could speak, Madam Hu seemed to have a stress response.

"No, don't tell him!"

Li Kai and Cao Yuan were both stunned.

Madam Hu gritted her teeth, tears streaming down her face, and said, "If you hadn't deliberately approached me back then, how could my family have been destroyed? How could my sister have been forced into the palace? And how could I have unknowingly become the wife of my enemy!"

She hated him! She hated Li Kai for putting her in such a predicament!

Li Kai was speechless for a moment.

If we trace the source, it seems that he was indeed the one who caused the cause.

“From tonight onwards, I have nothing to do with you anymore. I belong to you now, and you will take good care of my daughter and me. Please don’t come here again.”

After speaking in a sob, Madam Hu could no longer control herself and collapsed softly into Cao Yuan's arms, sobbing uncontrollably, her tears staining her clothes.

Li Kai remained silent, standing there motionless.

"...Let me see my daughter, just one look, please..."

Li Kai suppressed his emotions and pleaded desperately.

Cao Yuan said calmly, "Li Kai, let me tell you this: if you truly care about your daughter, it's best not to see her again. If the King of Han or other people with ulterior motives discover that you're alive and back, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Li Kai gripped his withered hand tightly; how could he not know what consequences this would cause?

Given that King An of Han was willing to kill his own brothers to seize the throne, he will surely face a bloodbath.

But he was still unwilling to give up. Couldn't he even see his daughter once?

Li Kai pleaded a few more times in a low voice.

Madam Hu glared with bloodshot eyes and angrily rebuked, "Li Kai, if you have any conscience, kill Liu Yi! Don't keep begging to see your daughter here!"

Li Kai chuckled self-deprecatingly.

If he hadn't witnessed Madam Hu's affair with Cao Yuan in the middle of the night, he would have spared no effort to avenge her.

But now that Madam Hu has Cao Yuan, how can he convince himself...?

"Please grant my request, Mr. Cao Yuan."

Li Kai knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to the man who had taken his wife.

Cao Yuan looked down at Madam Hu in his arms, "Madam, you..."

Madam Hu sobbed, closed her eyes, and didn't want to think about it anymore; the more she thought about it, the more heartbroken she became.

"I am now your woman, sir, and everything is up to you."

Cao Yuan looked at Li Kai kneeling on the ground, recalled Li Kai's character in the anime, and finally said slowly, "Get up first. I will not go back on my promise."

Li Kai was overjoyed and wept, "Thank you so much, sir!"

Cao Yuan added, "However, when we meet, how we meet, and what we say will be decided by my wife and me. You must understand that for your daughter now, your death would be better for her than your life."

Li Kai nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand, sir. Don't worry, I will definitely not let my daughter be in danger."

"That's good. From now on, I will take care of your wife and daughters. You don't need to worry."

After Cao Yuan finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "You can leave now. Don't come here to bother my wife and me again. I will handle Liu Yi's matter for my wife."

Li Kai felt a pang of sadness upon seeing Madam Hu, who was weeping in Cao Yuan's arms.

But he also knew that Cao Yuan had already given him face and promised that he would take good care of Madam Hu and her daughter.

“I am deeply grateful for your great kindness, sir. I cannot repay you in this life, but I will serve you like a cow or a horse in the next.”

Li Kai kowtowed heavily, stood up, took a deep breath, and said to Madam Hu, "Madam, please forgive my despicable actions back then. I wish you and your husband happiness. I'm leaving now."

Li Kai climbed over the wall and left Xiyuan, as if he had never been there.

Only Madam Hu, held in Cao Yuan's arms, remained, weeping softly as she poured out her sorrow and love to him.

If the original Madam Hu was forced, not willing, to give her body and soul to Cao Yuan.

Now, Madam Hu is extremely willing to entrust herself and her daughter to Cao Yuan, and to spend her life with Cao Yuan and her daughter.

Under the vast moonlight, Li Kai, absent-minded and staggering, walked through the alleyways, no longer caring about concealing his presence.

A dark shadow flew past Li Kai from the rooftop next to him under the moonlight.

"Ok?"

The assassin with the vulture beak on his face suddenly stopped, his cold eyes watching the figure leave like a zombie in the alleyway.

"he is……"

The vulture's pupils contracted slightly. "Li Kai!"

The faint sound was especially desolate in the night.

Li Kai looked up blankly and met the gaze of the vulture.

He seemed to realize something, and gave a bitter smile. "Are you here to kill me?"

He never imagined that Madam Hu's husband would be such a beast in human form.

On the surface, he is gentle and refined, with an air of a virtuous gentleman, but behind the scenes he acts in this way.

The vulture darted down and landed in front of Li Kai.

He gave a cruel smile. "Kill you? Li Kai, why would I kill you?"

Only then did Li Kai see the vulture's face clearly. Seeing the bird beak on its face, he exclaimed in surprise, "Are you the Hundred Birds Killer?"

The vulture said menacingly, "That's right, come with me. I still have many things I want to know from you."

He had been hiding among the birds for many years in order to find the treasure of Baiyue, and he knew the past events very well. He recognized Li Kai at a glance, even though Li Kai's face was half-disfigured.

It seems that even the heavens are on his side. He had just been ordered to take control of the Poison Scorpion Sect for Bai Niao when he encountered Li Kai.

The treasures of Baiyue must belong to him!

For some reason, Li Kai felt a sense of relief.

It's good that he's not one of Cao Yuan's people, otherwise he would die with regrets.

Madam, daughter, I hope you have entrusted yourselves to the right person, and that he will take good care of you...

This thought flashed through Li Kai's mind before he was knocked unconscious by the vulture.

Chapter 89 Hu Meiren Teaches Cao Yuan

Are you leaving?

Madam Hu stretched out her jade-like arm and wrapped it around Cao Yuan's waist, full of reluctance.

Everything that happened last night is still vivid in my mind.

She longed for Cao Yuan to stay by her side, and she would do anything he asked.

Cao Yuan glanced at the sky, which was just beginning to brighten, and yawned slightly.

"Is Madam reluctant to see me leave?"

With one arm around Madam Hu's slender waist and the other lifting her soft, delicate skin, Cao Yuan chuckled mischievously, "If others find out, can you bear the gossip, Madam?"

Madam Hu's face, which had been flushed, turned slightly pale.

She certainly can't accept it, at least not now.

Because she is now not only Liu Yi's wife in name, but also his sister's older sister.

She absolutely did not want to cause her sister any trouble or even cause her to suffer a stigma because of her affair with Cao Yuan.

"It's getting late, Madam, you should continue to sleep."

Cao Yuan patted Madam Hu's fair hand gently and said, "Madam, please be patient for a while. I promise to give you and your daughter a warm home."

"……Um."

Mrs. Hu reluctantly let go of his hand.

Cao Yuan slipped out of his warm bed.

Madam Hu watched Cao Yuan's retreating figure as he dressed, her gentle gaze filled with melancholy.

"Sir, let me help you get dressed."

Despite the pain of being pulled, Madam Hu knelt on the couch, looking down at Cao Yuan as he dressed.

As Cao Yuan watched Madam Hu tie his belt, and seeing her alluring figure half-concealed and half-revealed, he almost got excited again.

Unfortunately, that's not possible now; he can only endure it while enjoying Madam Hu's gentle service.

"I believe you, sir. I will obey you."

Finally, Mrs. Hu said with tenderness.

Cao Yuan draped a thin blanket over Madam Hu.

"Go back to sleep, everything will be alright, madam."

After Cao Yuan finished speaking, he turned and left Madam Hu's room.
