Raising Beast Husbands with My Space — The Villainess Becomes a Beloved Favorite-Chapter 279: A Quick and Decisive Battle
Su Muyao watched the Yan Family Master anxiously yet calmly arranging everything, her expression indifferent.
"Yan Family Master, since there’s nothing more here, I’ll be leaving."
Su Muyao picked up her medicine box and prepared to leave.
Yan Zhaoye’s life or death had nothing to do with her.
She also didn’t care about Yan Zhaoye’s situation regarding life or death.
The Yan Family Master watched Su Muyao’s departing figure, and had a feeling that once Su Muyao left the Yan Family this time, their family would never be able to get close to her again.
Xiao Lei’s physical condition had nothing to do with Su Muyao, and the notion of Liu Mengyan saving her was nonsense. If it weren’t for Su Muyao, they would still be kept in the dark, even treating Liu Mengyan as Xiao Lei’s savior.
Even Zhaoye might have been destroyed.
Now that the truth was out, they finally understood what had happened, feeling the shame of having been slapped in the face.
It wasn’t that Su Muyao owed the Yan Family; rather, it was the Yan Family that owed Su Muyao.
"Miss Su, we were wrong in the past, and we owe you an apology."
"This is a silver note. I know it isn’t enough to express Miss Su’s kindness to our Yan Family, but should Miss Su ever need anything, our Yan Family wouldn’t hesitate to go through fire and water for you."
The Yan Family Master understood that this kindness was too heavy.
So heavy it could only be returned with the Yan Family’s gratitude.
Xiao Lei was the Yan Family’s trained heir since childhood; she was the future Yan Family head. Su Muyao saving Xiao Lei was saving the future of the Yan Family.
When Xiao Lei woke up, she brought the truth, allowing them to guard against Liu Mengyan, saving Zhaoye, and preventing him from going astray, essentially saving their entire Yan Family.
Su Muyao accepted the golden banknotes, tens of thousands of golden crystal coins, befitting of a top noble family.
Once Su Muyao left the Yan Family, she immediately headed to the palace.
...
At this moment, in a secluded residence,
Yan Zhaoye entered with an instinctive sense of discomfort.
For some reason, he felt that the air had a somewhat cold and eerie aura.
But before he could think further, a servant spoke up: "Young Master Yan, you’ve finally arrived. Miss is seriously ill and called your name in her delirium."
"She hasn’t seen you in such a long time, our Miss has been too worried to eat or drink and has lost weight."
"Young Master Yan also knows that when Miss saved your younger sister, she exerted a lot of power and hasn’t recovered yet."
"Our Miss only thinks of Young Master Yan in her heart, she doesn’t like Young Master Jiang, but was forced by her family to marry him..."
Listening to these words, Yan Zhaoye found it hard to process anything.
He listened, feeling both guilty and moved inside.
Ever since Meng Yan saved his sister, her health had been poor, and he hadn’t taken good care of her.
These days, his parents had grounded him, not allowing him to go out. He still remembered his mother’s stern words, "If you dare sneak out to see Liu Mengyan, I’ll break your legs, and don’t call us your parents."
"The Yan Family raised you with great effort. Is Liu Mengyan all you see?"
"She saved Xiao Lei, but we can repay her in other ways, not by using you."
"As for the truth from back then, no one really knows..."
After being grounded, he indeed reflected on many things.
But someone secretly sent him a message saying Meng Yan was ill, very seriously so, and only wanted to see him once, so he left without a second thought.
Upon entering the room, Yan Zhaoye saw the weak and pale Liu Mengyan on the bed. Deeply distressed, he said, "Meng Yan, are you alright?"
"I’m sorry I couldn’t come to see you during this time."
Liu Mengyan’s eyes flashed with a calculating glint.
She knew that if she didn’t act soon, it’d be too late. If she let Yan Zhaoye remain grounded and not meet her for a long time, he might not think of her as much, or even come to his senses.
She couldn’t let that happen.
So she decided to strike first.
Liu Mengyan coughed, grabbing Yan Zhaoye’s hand to make him sit down, "I heard about your grounding. I’ve been worried about you and think of you often."
"You probably haven’t been eating well, I personally cooked porridge for you, have a taste."
Yan Zhaoye was touched, not expecting Liu Mengyan to think of him even while sick.
"I’m not hungry, how’s your health, have you seen a doctor?"
Right now, Yan Zhaoye was concerned about Liu Mengyan’s health and couldn’t care about eating.
Liu Mengyan had drugged the porridge, insisting Yan Zhaoye eat it.
She fed it to Yan Zhaoye herself, and he could only eat a few bites accordingly.
After a short while, Yan Zhaoye suddenly felt his body becoming strange, "My... my superpower, what’s happening to my body?"
His body started to weaken and heat up, even feeling a bit dizzy.
Liu Mengyan smirked with an eerie smile, directly pushing him onto the bed.
Yan Zhaoye’s face changed dramatically, "Meng Yan, what are you doing?"
Despite caring for Liu Mengyan, he never thought about having any relationship before marriage. His upbringing instilled the importance of male chastity, forbidding him from doing anything that might tarnish the Yan Family’s reputation.
Within the Yan Family, there were many cousins who would still marry; he couldn’t let himself be a source of ridicule.
"What am I doing? Naturally, I’m letting you feel joy."
While speaking, Liu Mengyan reached out her fingers to hook Yan Zhaoye’s chin.
Yan Zhaoye looked at Liu Mengyan’s twisted and manic eyes, trying hard to avoid her, "Liu Mengyan, let me go..."
"You came to me yourself, how could you expect me to let you go?"
Once she got his power and everything of his, even if he turned insane, no one would know what happened.
It was only now Yan Zhaoye realized how foolish he had been. His parents grounding him was for his own good.
Liu Mengyan seemed completely different from her usual self.
Liu Mengyan reached to tear his clothes, he resisted with all his might, but affected by the drug, he was utterly powerless, his body burning up, unable to defend himself.
Watching Liu Mengyan’s determined expression, Yan Zhaoye despaired, "Liu Mengyan, you deceived me, stop this..."
"Your own foolishness, you can’t blame others for it."
"If you had obediently married me like Jiang Mochuan, there wouldn’t be so much trouble."
"I’ve come to see it clearly, your parents would never allow you to marry me, so I might as well take matters into my own hands..."
It was too late for Yan Zhaoye to regret now. Even if he wanted to call out, his voice was extremely weak.
His eyes reddened as he glared fiercely at Liu Mengyan, but she couldn’t care less about him.
These beastmen looked down on her spider beastman heritage, but did they really think spider beastmen thought highly of them?
Liu Mengyan could never like someone like Jiang Mochuan or Yan Zhaoye; she had another beastman she liked.
Yet she had to feign civility for the task, which she detested greatly.
So all she wanted was a swift resolution.
...
But at the critical moment, a commotion could be heard outside.
The door was being pounded on madly, "Open up, open up..."
Liu Mengyan’s face turned dark; she was naturally cautious and quickly called in her subordinate to ask: "What’s going on outside?"
Just then, a man in black barged into the room, "Release the young master!"
Saying this, he directly lunged at Liu Mengyan.
Seeing the man in black appear, the hopelessness in Yan Zhaoye’s heart was rekindled, he croaked, "Yan Si, save me."
This was his mother’s Shadow Guard.
Liu Mengyan’s servant, while fighting with the man in black, anxiously said, "Miss, there are many soldiers outside."
Turning her head, Liu Mengyan shot a fierce look at Yan Zhaoye, "So you reported me to the authorities."
Saying this, her hand morphed into a spider’s claw, secreting spider silk to wrap around Yan Zhaoye’s neck.
"Don’t move, or I’ll kill him."
