Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 231: Predicament

Duan Tingxuan stared blankly at the blood on his finger, and the blood dripped onto the embroidery, staining it instantly.

Duan Ping, Duan Tingxuan’s servant, was helping to sort the threads when he suddenly saw his young master’s finger bleeding, and his face changed, "Young Master, are you alright?"

Duan Tingxuan gently wiped his finger, and the bleeding stopped, "This piece of embroidery is ruined, let’s redo it."

Duan Ping looked at the ruined embroidery of Duan Tingxuan and felt quite sorry, "It’s a pity, Young Master spent many days on it."

Duan Tingxuan said lightly, "Once something is stained, it’s stained."

Duan Ping suddenly didn’t know what to say; he wondered if the young master was talking about Miss Dong or something else.

"Young Master, you’ve been a bit restless lately, and you haven’t been resting well."

After a pause, Duan Ping hesitated but advised, "Young Master, honestly, since you’ve already married Miss Dong, why be so hard on yourself? Life is like this; females are all like that. Every beast husband has to endure this and endure that."

Duan Ping was also quite angry inside, but no matter how indignant he felt, what could he do? The young master was already married; they couldn’t annul the marriage, as it would ruin the young master’s reputation completely, and it would also make it difficult for other males in the Duan family to marry.

Duan Tingxuan showed a look of self-disgust, "I just didn’t expect her to deceive me like this."

Duan Ping also found Miss Dong very disgusting, "That’s why they say the mouth of a female is full of lies."

"Back then, she vowed she only had eyes for you, only loved you, and would only have you as her beast husband."

"If not for that, why would you, with your status and position, need to marry down to her?"

"Now she’s using your dowry to support an outside lover, other beast husbands, and buying expensive jewelry for others; it’s simply infuriating."

Duan Ping was so angry his face turned blue.

But such words could not be spoken in front of the young master on ordinary days, as they would only add to his worries.

But today, he couldn’t help it; seeing the young master’s haggard appearance really worried him.

Moreover, everyone in Beast Emperor City knew the young master’s situation, and they probably regarded him as a laughingstock.

The Duan family’s reputation had also been somewhat affected.

People wouldn’t speak ill of Dong Baishang; they would only say the young master couldn’t tolerate others.

The world thought whatever females did was justifiable, while being so harsh on males.

Initially, it was Dong Baishang who used her words to deceive, saying such nice things, about being devoted, and having only the young master as her single beast husband, assuring she would never be like Su Muyao.

And what came of it? The young master married and she changed into a different person.

It’s said that the person was a male Dong Baishang supported outside before the young master even married over.

This male was even bought from the Pleasure House by Dong Baishang; to put him on the same level as the young master is a slap in the face, isn’t it?

Better not even mention Su Muyao.

"Young Master, I heard Su Muyao is back, returning with General Yun. When Young Master Jiang was getting married, Jiang Dao wanted to deal with Su Muyao, but Su Muyao crippled him..."

Duan Ping couldn’t help but tell the young master the news he had heard.

"Miss Su has even regained her looks, and her strength is reportedly stronger than Jiang Dao’s. Who knows what they’ve experienced at the border."

Hearing these words, Duan Tingxuan’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and shadows fell under his eyelids as he lowered his head, so Duan Ping couldn’t see his expression clearly.

He worried that the young master might regret it.

But in the Beast Emperor City, even if he didn’t say anything, the young master would eventually learn of the events.

He didn’t want the young master to hear some distorted rumors from others.

Just then, the door made a loud "bang" sound as someone kicked it open from the outside.

The noise startled Duan Ping, and when Duan Tingxuan and Duan Ping turned to look, they saw Dong Baishang with a displeased expression.

Duan Ping quickly bowed and said, "Miss Dong."

The Dong family’s status was really low, so Duan Ping was quite unwilling when bowing to Dong Baishang. If she treated the young master well, he would be willing to treat her like a master, but she truly treated the young master poorly.

Once her true nature was exposed, she stopped pretending.

Dong Baishang snorted coldly, "Duan Tingxuan, is this how you teach your servants? Qing Feng is my beast husband, his master, and yet he doesn’t bow."

Saying this, Dong Baishang slapped the table, venting her anger at Duan Tingxuan.

Duan Tingxuan just looked at Dong Baishang coldly and indifferently, which only infuriated Dong Baishang more, "Duan Tingxuan, the Duan family taught you this way, to be jealous and intolerant."

Duan Tingxuan originally didn’t want to speak but then said, "I am me, and the Duan family is the Duan family; don’t confuse the two."

He hadn’t expected marrying Dong Baishang would tarnish the Duan family’s name.

It gave him the reputation of being jealous and intolerant.

This kind of reputation was very bad for a male.

Looking at Duan Tingxuan this way made Dong Baishang very angry; she only brought an outside lover into the mansion, and he couldn’t accept it.

Originally, she liked Duan Tingxuan for his outstanding family background, status, and capability, idolizing him like a god. But after marrying him, he turned out to be dull, whereas Qing Feng understood her and was so gentle and considerate.

Qing Feng carefully stroked Dong Baishang’s back, hooking his fingers and saying, "Family Head, you don’t need to be angry at Young Master Duan because of Qing Feng. How can Qing Feng’s status be compared to Young Master Duan’s? Qing Feng is used to it..."

Qing Feng, with such a tall figure, showed a lowly and obedient demeanor, keeping his posture very low.

But that’s precisely what Dong Baishang liked, and Duan Ping was so angry for the young master.

The more Qing Feng spoke like this, the more furious Dong Baishang became, "Qing Feng, you don’t need to say that. No one can make you feel wronged. He is my beast husband, and you are also my beast husband."

"You know Su Muyao is back, right?"

"You might have suddenly thought of her after she regained her looks and strength, right?"

"Ha, let me tell you, Duan Tingxuan, as a female, I know females best. You forcefully annulled the contract and betrayed her; she will never forgive you in this life."

"So even if you regret it, it’s useless; you should just stay in the Dong Mansion. Don’t expect me to divorce you."

"And in a few days, there’s a large palace feast at the Imperial Palace, so hand over the crystal coins; I need to prepare something decent."

Duan Tingxuan said blandly, "I don’t have any."

"You dare say you don’t have any, I’m sure you have plenty."

Dong Baishang, in a fit of rage, began throwing things from the side.

Duan Ping reached out to stop her, "Miss Dong, that’s our young master’s favorite inkstone, don’t... Miss Dong, this is handmade by our young master..."

"Bang, bang..."

Dong Baishang paid no heed and smashed things all over the floor.

"Duan Tingxuan, you are my beast husband now, no longer the young master of the Duan family, think carefully."

Dong Baishang snorted coldly and left.

Duan Ping held back his emotions, his eyes reddening, "Young Master, this is too much."

"Young Master, how about annulling the marriage like last time? If this continues, she might even get violent with you."

Duan Tingxuan showed a bitter expression, "The annulment can only be forced once; it can’t be annulled anymore. Moreover, if I go back now, the Duan family wouldn’t accept me, and the other males in the Duan family need to marry."

He had chosen this path himself, and even if he regretted it, he couldn’t complain to anyone else but swallow his grievances. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

In a few days, there would be a palace feast, and Duan Ping couldn’t even imagine what the young master would be like upon seeing Miss Su in the palace.

Who could have thought that Miss Su, exiled with crimes, could return a year later so strongly and brilliantly?

...

After resting at home for a few days, Su Muyao personally took an invitation to visit the Mei Family.

The Mei Family Master and Mrs. Mei couldn’t be more delighted; they arrived at the door early to greet her personally.

After waiting for a while, Mrs. Mei touched her head decoration and asked the nanny beside her, "Nanny, does my hair look messy, is the headpiece alright?"

"No problem, Madam, you look especially elegant in this ensemble."

Mrs. Mei was very pleased and remarked, "Muyao’s return to Beast Emperor City has garnered attention from all quarters. Many sent invitation cards wanting to visit the Su Family to inquire about her, but Muyao refused them all. I never thought the first visit she would make was to our Mei Family."

The nanny said, "Now, all the major families are focusing on the Mei Family. Back then, those beastmen secretly mocked the Mei Family, saying the Lady of the Family married the young master to Miss Su, but now they all envy the Lady’s foresight."

Mrs. Mei looked intently at the Mei Family Master, "Husband, indeed you have foresight."

Indeed, now not everyone can reach Su Muyao’s level, so their decision back then was the most correct.

And since Mei Qingchen’s return, they have frequently communicated with Su Muyao, keeping her informed in a timely manner of all the news from Beast Emperor City.

It’s just that Qing Chen still hasn’t completed the awakening ritual, which worries them deeply, fearing something might go wrong.

Once the awakening trial begins, they won’t be able to enter.
