The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1566 - 1565: Feather Duster

In her subconscious, all the women who followed Tang Rao to the Kao Shan Sect were because of Tang Rao's previous little tricks.Fortunately, since Bai Xiaotong appeared, Wang Han quietly observed Bai Xiaotong, listened to Bai Xiaotong speak, and until later learned Bai Xiaotong's identity, she took a long breath. Thank goodness she didn't act impulsively, question Tang Rao too much, or interrupt Bai Xiaotong.

Just married to Tang Rao, she almost offended the few relatives Tang Rao had. Even if her relationship with Tang Rao is good, Wang Han believes that in critical moments, Tang Rao would side with his aunt.

It's truly strange; just who is Wang Han? She is the daughter of the West Island Master, married down to Tang Rao. Even if she shows a face to Tang Rao, what's the big deal? But why, after initially arriving at North Island and spending some time with Tang Rao, has her mindset quietly undergone such a significant transformation?

This change isn't caused by the environment. It's like after spending a lot of time with Tang Rao, she fully followed her heart. Subconsciously, Tang Rao's status was elevated, making him more important.

"Is this the young wife you married back from West Island?"

Bai Xiaotong's anger hadn't subsided; Qin Qing's death was a big blow to her—not because she couldn't let go of this person, but because with Tang Rao's backyard growing, who could guarantee there wouldn't be a second or third Qin Qing in the future?

"Yes, Aunt, look at her, isn't she pretty and marked? Her skills are good too. I've had her manage household chores. Many times, when there's too much to handle, I can't oversee the backyard, so having an extra hand managing the household is quite nice."

Tang Rao's words made Bai Xiaotong's face turn ugly.

However, in front of so many people, she didn't speak directly, but sent the women off to do their tasks, suggesting they could gather for dinner later.

Tang Rao was pulled to his courtyard by Bai Xiaotong, and seeing no one followed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, yet that relief lasted only a second before turning serious again.

"Though I don't know your intentions for doing this, having just dealt with Qin Qing's issue so early and establishing the Family Head, do you know what this signifies?"

Bai Xiaotong wore a look as if she was dissatisfied with Tang Rao's choices.

She knew Tang Rao, who always considered things thoroughly; with more women added, his mind seemed less sharp.

"I know. And I know you want to ask why I didn't choose Sheng Xuan or Hong Xiu, who are also good options, but instead chose a newcomer."

Tang Rao could see right through Bai Xiaotong's thoughts, half-questioning, half-answering: "Firstly, Wang Han is competent, and in the Divine Realm, competence is authority. No one dares to oppose her words. Secondly, maybe we've stayed in Blue Star too long, forgetting many rules, causing the Kao Shan Sect to have abundant resources yet not improve much overall. It's Wang Han who first suggested changes. Just for her mindset, choosing her may be the best decision I've made. Lastly, it's my intuition; I believe she can do well."

Tang Rao spoke lots of nonsense, summarizing that this woman was his choice, and he trusted his judgment.

Even if Bai Xiaotong refused now, Tang Rao wouldn't change his decision.

All that sixth sense, intuition, it's not false. Tang Rao just feels that if he gives this responsibility to Wang Han, he can relax.

"I won't say much else; from now on, be more mindful. Your little aunt is waiting for you to provide for her in old age, so don't let anything happen to you, or she will absolutely not forgive you."

Such a fierce aunt, what kind of man could conquer her?

"Aunt, don't worry about me. I'm at least a father now. You, on Blue Star, had no men after you, and now in the Divine Realm, still lonely, with your days spent earning money or livestreaming. How will you fulfill your lifelong task this way? How about I send you back to Blue Star?"

Bai Xiaotong found the idea of sending her to Blue Star more terrifying than Tang Rao suggesting she find a man.

"Dear nephew, you must be joking with aunt, right? Aunt knows you're the best to her. What fun is there on Blue Star? All those stinking men aren't good at all. Asking aunt to find men there is like wanting aunt's life. Besides, the businesses in the Divine Realm are aunt's hard work. Dream on having me go back!"

Bai Xiaotong's vigilant eyes rolled around Tang Rao, not missing even his tiniest movements.

Once sensing Tang Rao might say something about sending Bai Xiaotong back, she quickly changed the subject, telling Tang Rao how successful Bai Xiaotong was, how many beauties there were now, so much that Tang Rao couldn't help but rejoice, genuinely forgetting about the matter of Bai Xiaotong finding a man or returning to Blue Star.

The next morning, Bai Xiaotong saw Tang Rao at Wen Rou Village early.

Tang Rao, claiming he was inspecting Bai Xiaotong's business, justified his presence by saying solo visits were undercover, secret visits, implying that more people would expose his identity.

"Beauty, what's your name?"

Tang Rao's reputation was widespread as the behind-the-scenes Shopkeeper of Wen Rou Village, well known upon entering and leaving.

If other men behaved so frivolously, the protector of Wen Rou Village would surely send him away, but facing Tang Rao, the man they admired, their hearts softened.

"This maid Qing Jiu, salutes the lord."

Qing Jiu?

Tang Rao approached the girl, genuinely smelling Qing Jiu aroma on her—it was tempting and stood worlds apart from the commonplace people nearby.

"So it's Qing Jiu! The scent from Qing Jiu's body is delightful; I just wonder about your drinking capacity. How about sitting down and having a drink with me?"

While speaking, Tang Rao's hands began to indulge. If it weren't for Qing Jiu withdrawing timely, he would have reached over.

This was to Bai Xiaotong's credit for implementing strict rules—insisting the girls only accompany for drinks without any extra, preserving their purity for Qing Jiu and the others.

Even if Tang Rao was the visitor now, if he tried to take advantage, they could never agree.

"You rascal, Tang Rao, coming to take advantage at my Wen Rou Village! I guessed you'd come today and came specifically to catch you, you little bunny!"

Bai Xiaotong picked up a feather duster and swung it at Tang Rao, hitting painfully upon contact without Immortal Energy Protection.
