The Devious First Daughter

Chapter 160. Mysterious Madam Wu Yao

It took a long time for Xia Yuhang to compose himself after Wen Xueran left. He walked back to the backyard calmly to meet his mother. Mrs. Xia let out a sigh of relief after hearing that Wen Xueran was gone. Xia Manor had fallen, and if their family was dragged into a rebellion, they would be damned.

Everyone in Xia Manor, including Mrs. Xia, was like a bird that would be easily startled by a mere twang of a bow.

After calming down his mother, Xia Yuhang returned to his study and ordered a maid working there to visit Madam Wu Yao with an invitation under Mrs. Xia's name.

The invitation soon reached Wu Yao.

Wu Yao was an alluring woman, seemingly only in her early thirties. Though she was not exactly young, she took such good care of herself that she still carried an elegant charm. She had a pretty face too. She picked up the invitation and read it. Then, without taking anyone with her, she headed for the side door in the back.

The side door was usually under the supervision of an older female servant. Upon seeing Wu Yao by herself, she immediately opened the door. She locked the door after Wu Yao went in, sat on her stool, and looked around warily.

The servant belonged to Grand Tutor Ya's manor, not Wu Yao's manor.

The side door didn't lead to the side door of Grand Tutor Ya's Manor, but a small courtyard. The courtyard was remote, but not secluded.

Wu Yao had just come out of a closet when she found herself pulled into a pair of solid arms. She heard a chuckle in her ears. "Babe, you're finally here. I've sent several letters to you. I've been waiting for a long time but didn't see you. You've kept me waiting."

A hint of resentment crossed Wu Yao's eyes but she immediately put on a smile. She pushed the man's hands away and teased, "Don't do this, Brother-in-law. I have important business with the Grand Tutor."

She seemed to be flirting with him rather than really pushing him away, seducing the man even further. He felt soft all over. Not caring about her words, he pulled Wu Yao's clothes with an increasingly lewd smile. "Leave that for later. I've been waiting for you for a long time. If you didn't show up when you did, I would have ignored my father's words and looked for you directly."

While speaking, the man tore her belt away with impatience and force.

"Brother-in-law, it's a letter from Prince Xiang. It's urgent. We can't delay it." Wu Yao had always looked down on her playboy brother-in-law, but she was no saint either. They had been having an affair for a long time.

Though he had fallen for her charm, their affair was also the result of Grand Tutor Ya's strict supervision of his son. Grand Tutor Ya knew that his son was useless and didn't have high hopes for him. Even so, he refused to let his son ruin things for him and Ao Mingyu, so his son wasn't allowed to do anything that would harm Grand Tutor Ya's Manor in the slightest.

When Grand Tutor Ya's son met his charming sister-in-law, he immediately fell hard for her.

His sister-in-law was a vixen compared to Ya Moqin's mother. She was exactly his cup of tea.

His only complaint was that he couldn't do anything to his sister-in-law even when she was living in their manor. He knew that his father wouldn't let him off otherwise.

Therefore, even if he was a good-for-nothing playboy, he let go of her helplessly after hearing that she had a letter from the Third Prince. He was under his father's strict watch and knew that it was an important matter. Stretching out a hand and muttering helplessly, he said, "Where's the letter? Give it to me."

Wu Yao straightened her clothes before retrieving the letter from her bosom and giving it to him. He took the letter and scanned it briefly before turning around and leaving. His father must be waiting for this letter at this time, so he didn't dare to delay. The situation in the palace was always changing at the drop of a hat. Even his sister was imprisoned at the moment.
