The Empress' Livestream

Chapter 110: Flower Thief (X)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

It all happened in a split second. Before the crowd could come out of their stupor, they were plunged into another bout of chaos.

“Someone has died!” an unknown person yelled and the gathering crowd took a step back, forming a large circle.

“What are you yelling about? Can’t you see no one died!” Jiang Pengji yelled and the crowd parted to let her through.

The maid came to her senses. She felt a strong push and landed in a thin, yet strong, embrace. Her heart nearly stopped beating from fright.

She shyly lifted her head and had a good look at Jiang Pengji’s face. From her angle, Jiang Pengji had refined features that were almost like a lady’s... The maid came out of her stupor and quickly flew away from Jiang Pengji.

“Thank you for saving me,” she said quietly.

“It’s good that you’re all right. Go take a rest with the others. It’s best that you forget what had happened tonight.”

Jiang Pengji coldly looked at the “servant” clutching their bleeding neck on the floor.

The maid was not bothered by all that and snuck a glance at Wei Yuan. Once she had received the approval from her master, she then left. The maid could not leave just because Jiang Pengji had said so, as she did not belong to the Liu’s. If she had done so, Wei Yuan would most likely be upset.

“This is... a woman...”

Wei Yuan kept the housekeeper closest to him and let the rest of the servants leave.

Jiang Pengji noticed the fan she had thrown out and slit the “servant’s” throat. She bent down and picked it up, then used a handkerchief to wipe the blood from it.

“How could this be a woman? If you don’t believe me, you can remove his clothes and check.”

Once Wei Yuan heard that, he nodded his head at his housekeeper to do so.

Jiang Pengji lowered her gaze and watched from the sidelines, as though she was just another member of the audience.

Her channel’s audience, on the other hand, was not that calm.

They watched the housekeeper step forward and lift his sleeves, then he positioned his hand at the lower half of the “servant’s” body. He seemed to be making a squeezing motion through the “servant’s” clothes before he frowned and some semblance of fear could be seen from his expression.

The stream’s resolution was so clear and the action so sudden that Jiang Pengji’s audience forgot to comment in their stupor.

Hongjun Laozude Juhua: “(*/w*) My eyes... First the host stepped on a man’s crotch, and now an older person is fondling another man’s crotch. Today’s stream is too much.”

Zhubo Zhengmian Shangwo: “I don’t care about that. All I wanna know is... How does it feel?”

Although the stream could get pretty raunchy, her viewers were worse. They had stopped censoring their words a long time ago.

The silent System decided to inject its opinion.

System: “My dear host, if it was not for your channel being special, you would have been blocked a long time ago.”

The interdimensional internet was currently in the middle of ensuring quality and safe content. What Jiang Pengji streamed would have had her banned a long time ago.

“Do you think I can control what the audience says or types? As a System, you should have added mosaic or censored certain words. You did not do your job and what has that got to do with me?” Jiang Pengji shirked responsibility.

System: “...”

Her response was so reasonable that the System could not find a way to rebutt her.

While Jiang Pengji was rebutting the system, the housekeeper had made his way back to Wei Yuan with a grim expression. He solemnly nodded his head.

It was a man.

Wei Yuan nearly fainted from anger when he received that response. He may not remember all his servants in the rear wing, but he knew that he would not let just anyone in as a servant.

In other words, the one who bullied his mistress, made him a cuckold, and ruined his daughter’s reputation was the bastard lying on the floor before him. When he thought about how he found a man’s clothes in his mistress’ room while he was resting, he was furious.

What made him feel thoroughly discredited was that the scandal had reached the ears of someone who should not know.

Qiguan Rang was a man Wei Yuan had chosen as his future son-in-law. The other man was poor and had led a rough life. His wife had passed away and Wei Yuan felt that letting his daughter marry that man was putting her at a disadvantage, but at least it was not disgraceful. He had observed the man for awhile and felt that he could be trusted.

Since he was the future son-in-law, no matter how disgraceful the situation was, at least he was not an outsider.

For the sake of his daughters, Wei Yuan could tolerate losing face for them.

And it seemed like his student, Liu Xi, was in the know, too. Why else would she behave like that? Unless he had to get Liu Xi in as his son-in-law, too...

The most frustrating thing was that if Liu Xi had not scaled the wall, the “woman” would have escaped and they would not have found the culprit. Wei Yuan could not blame anyone, but to not blame anyone left a bitter aftertaste.

One’s lifetime reputation was lost within a single night.

When he thought of that, Wei Yuan slumped a little as though he had aged within those few moments.

Even though Feng Jin did not know what was happening, based on Jiang Pengji’s reaction and revelation, he could hazard a guess. When the the housekeeper confirmed that the servant was a man, he wished he was blind.

He was really implicated into the scandal by his unreliable friend, Liu Xi.

Even if he were to not breathe a word about this, Wei Yuan would probably bear a grudge against him.

Once Feng Jin started moving, Wei Yuan noticed him.

Wei Yuan was speechless.

Oh, forgot about this one.

Zhubo Cemian Shangwo: “Even though I should not laugh at this critical moment, I still did. It feels like this Wei Yuan dude’s mistress was raped and he was cuckolded?”

Zhubo Beimian Shangwo: “I feel like laughing, too. But what I want to know most is what about his mistresses?”

Wei Yuan was an old-fashioned man. Even if his wives and concubines were innocent, he would still not be at peace in his heart. So... what would happen to those women?

Based on Qiguan Rang and Jiang Pengji’s conversation, Wei Yuan treated his daughters well and was willing to plan their futures for them. Concubines, however, were not daughters, and it involved him being cuckolded. Would he even be that charitable?
