Chapter 106: Dao Baifeng's Last Night of Madness, The Mystery in the Painting! (Seeking Guaranteed Monthly Votes)
(Deleted)
After a long while.
The two returned to the main hall and saw Duan Zhengchun sprawled on the wine table, fast asleep. Dao Baifeng took a deep breath, lowered her voice, and pleaded, "Can you not mess around tonight? I'm afraid..."
"Afraid of what? Duan Zhengchun is already asleep. Even if he were awake and saw us, he wouldn't dare to speak up."
Ning Yuan said dismissively.
Dao Baifeng opened her mouth, but could only remain silent.
And Duan Zhengchun, hearing their conversation, could only clench his teeth in secret.
He felt an immense humiliation in his heart.
Soon, the two brought Duan Zhengchun back to his room.
Looking at the 'snoring' Duan Zhengchun on the bed, Dao Baifeng sighed softly. Just as she was about to turn around, Ning Yuan blocked her way. Dao Baifeng's eyes immediately showed panic.
After all, just a few days ago, it was by Duan Zhengchun's side... also drunk, also late at night.
In the same situation now, Dao Baifeng couldn't help but panic, and quickly said, "Murong Fu, not tonight. Please don't mess around, okay?"
Dao Baifeng pleaded.
"It's precisely because Aunt tomorrow you're leaving, and who knows when we'll meet again, that I want to bid you a proper farewell!"
Ning Yuan sighed softly, speaking earnestly.
"Then can we not go to your room?"
Dao Baifeng gritted her teeth, raised her head, and said.
"Aunt, what do you mean by going to my room?"
Ning Yuan asked playfully on purpose.
Dao Baifeng couldn't help but glare at Ning Yuan, angrily gritting her teeth, "What do you think?"
"No matter what we do, where is better than here?"
Ning Yuan picked up Dao Baifeng in one swift motion.

Duan Zhengchun's earlobes twitched on the bed. Hearing these flirtatious words, his expression twisted.
"Murong Fu, if I don't avenge this, I am no gentleman!"
Duan Zhengchun clenched his teeth, secretly vowing.
"Aunt Duan, Uncle Duan is willing to neglect such a delicate wife like you, it's truly heartbreaking. From now on, I will be devoted to you wholeheartedly."
Ning Yuan smoothed Dao Baifeng's hair behind her ear.
"Hmph! The reason Duan Zhengchun and I don't get along is because he's a womanizer. You have even more women than he does, yet you dare to say such things to me..."
Dao Baifeng snorted, somewhat displeased.
"No matter how many women I have, as long as you, Aunt, are here, I will be devoted to you wholeheartedly. What's more, last time in the Prince's Mansion, wasn't it you who actively asked Aunt Qin to join? I saw that you two got along very well then."
"Stop talking!"
Dao Baifeng's face flushed red, and she couldn't help but glance back at Duan Zhengchun on the bed.
Duan Zhengchun's eyes widened upon hearing these words.
His teeth were almost biting through his lips, yet he dared not make a sound, only cursing inwardly.
"Bitch, you act so high and mighty in front of me, and you don't allow me to have mistresses, yet now you're someone else's mistress!"
"And with Hongmian..."
"Even I haven't had such enjoyment!"
"Two hussies!"
"Shameless!"
Duan Zhengchun cursed in his heart.
He was furious!
What he had never experienced, was now being snatched away by someone else.
Especially Qin Hongmian's personality, similar to Dao Baifeng's, both were people who couldn't tolerate other women. Now, these two who couldn't tolerate a third party, were serving one man together.
It made Duan Zhengchun almost vomit blood.
His proud methods of seduction seemed so ridiculous at this moment.
What he couldn't do, the other party did with ease.
However, no matter what he thought, it didn't affect Ning Yuan and Dao Baifeng.

"You scoundrel!"
Dao Baifeng couldn't help but sigh softly, then said helplessly, "This is our last time. Tomorrow I'm returning to Dali. I want to live a good life."
"Whatever Aunt wishes."
Ning Yuan smiled dismissively.
Duan Zhengchun, with his back turned, heard the sounds from beside him and couldn't help but close his eyes in pain.
His heart was filled with intense resentment.
"Last time?"
"Live a good life?"
"You hussy, you actually want me, Duan Zhengchun, to wear this hat for the rest of my life? You wish!"
Duan Zhengchun secretly resolved to divorce his wife upon his return.
Every day Dao Baifeng was by his side, he felt disgusted... The next morning.
Duan Zhengchun had dark circles under his eyes, a pale face, and was in terrible spirits.
"Brother Duan, what's wrong with you?"
Ruan Xingzhu saw Duan Zhengchun's appearance and asked with concern.
Dao Baifeng, seeing Duan Zhengchun like this, felt a flutter in her heart, and her gaze was somewhat evasive.
She had been tormented all night and hadn't rested well either.
"Father, you should exercise restraint and take care of your health."
Duan Yu, who was nearby, glanced at the radiant Dao Baifeng, as if understanding something, and immediately said with a chuckle.
After all, Duan Zhengchun looked like he had overindulged, while his mother was beaming. Combined with the two who couldn't hold back in his room last night, even leaving their pants there, one could imagine how fierce the battle must have been after a long separation.
However, Duan Zhengchun didn't understand the meaning behind Duan Yu's words, only thinking that Duan Yu was telling him to moderate his drinking. He forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, I drank a bit too much last night, threw up a few times, and didn't rest well."
Duan Zhengchun casually explained, then glanced at Dao Baifeng.
Dao Baifeng's body tensed.
Just then, Ning Yuan also walked out. Hearing this, he immediately said, "Uncle Duan and Aunt Duan have finally rekindled their old flame. From now on, Uncle Duan must take care of his health!"
Ning Yuan said with a serious expression.
Duan Zhengchun's face stiffened. Thinking of what the two had done and said by his side last night, Duan Zhengchun couldn't hide his anger.
But considering the other party's strength, he could only suppress his rage.
After all, he was about to leave this place and would be safe. Duan Zhengchun didn't want to ruin his plan at this moment, so he forced a smile, "Nephew is right. I will definitely take good care of my health so I can serve my wife well."
Duan Zhengchun secretly gritted his teeth.
He said, glancing at Dao Baifeng, with a hidden meaning.
"To see Uncle Duan and Aunt Duan so loving, this Junior can rest assured."
Ning Yuan still wore a smile, then added, "A thousand-mile journey must end with a farewell. This Junior won't see you off far. Here is a painting that Aunt Duan said she liked very much before. Today, I'll give it to Aunt as a souvenir."
Ning Yuan took the painting from A Bi's hand and handed it to Dao Baifeng.
"Me?"
Dao Baifeng looked astonished, clearly not knowing what Ning Yuan was up to again, but under everyone's gaze, she could only force a smile and accept it, "Thank you, Young Master."
Ning Yuan's finger subtly brushed Dao Baifeng's palm, and Dao Baifeng instantly shivered, her smile becoming somewhat stiff and nervous.
Duan Zhengchun watched the two exchange glances, inwardly snorting at the adulterous couple, but on the surface, he could only cup his fists and say, "In that case, we'll be leaving now. Nephew, please stay."
"Please!"
Ning Yuan smiled and raised his hand, watching the group of four depart.
And after Duan Zhengchun and the others left, Qin Hongmian and Gan Baobao emerged from the shadows.
"Uncle Duan is truly heartless, not even willing to bid you farewell. It seems both Aunts' twenty years of youth have been wasted."
Ning Yuan sighed faintly from the side.
"If it weren't for you, how could Brother Chun be so heartless towards me!"
Qin Hongmian suddenly turned around and glared at Ning Yuan.
"Aunt, that's not right. It's precisely because of me that you exposed Duan Zhengchun's hypocrisy. Otherwise, you would have continued to be deceived. If he truly loved you, he wouldn't care if you had other men. Even if he knew, he would definitely understand you, believe you had difficulties, and listen to your explanations."
"But unfortunately, Duan Zhengchun didn't even give you a chance to explain. Can this still be called love?"
Ning Yuan shook his head, a look of emotion on his face, "If he had even a shred of affection for you, he wouldn't have suspected you based solely on rumors, he wouldn't have denied you a chance to explain, and he wouldn't have failed to understand your difficulties."
"But he did none of these things, which proves that his love for you was merely lip service. He was just lusting after your bodies, just enjoying the sense of control he got from making you infatuated with his sweet talk."
"Even after more than ten years, he still enjoyed the superior feeling of making you crazy for him."
"So when he realized he was no longer your only man, his control failed, which is why he became enraged and ignored you, yet you are still distressed and saddened by this."
Ning Yuan came before the two with a face full of emotion, "You can think carefully, who is the one who truly loves you? It's me!"
"I don't mind that you were Duan Zhengchun's lovers, I don't mind that you bore children for Duan Zhengchun, and I don't mind that you still harbor feelings for Duan Zhengchun. Only my feelings for you are truly pure and sincere, without any other impurities."
Ning Yuan stood before the two, holding their hands, and said earnestly.
"He's right, what is Duan Zhengchun? Besides sweet talk, what else can he do? After all these years, I've seen through him. For over a decade, he knew where we were but never contacted us, which shows his heartlessness and disloyalty."
Li Qingluo, who was nearby, also agreed.
"Two Aunts, tonight I want to formally invite you to Yanz dock, let us get to know each other again."
Ning Yuan's face was serious.
Qin Hongmian and Gan Baobao both showed complex expressions.
But Duan Zhengchun's heartlessness indeed made the two women very unhappy, and they felt an urge for revenge... On the other side.
Duan Zhengchun and his group of four rode quickly, arriving at an inn before dusk.
Throughout the journey, Duan Zhengchun remained expressionless, in low spirits.
"Father, do you have something on your mind?"
Duan Yu asked curiously.
Duan Yu clearly noticed Duan Zhengchun's expression.
"Nothing."
Duan Zhengchun snapped out of it, shaking his head. "Your mother hasn't come down yet, I'll go check on her."
Duan Zhengchun got up and walked up the stairs.
Inside the inn room, Dao Baifeng couldn't resist opening the painting scroll Ning Yuan had given her.
As the scroll slowly unrolled, it was empty, with only some dried yellow water stains.
Dao Baifeng looked bewildered, but soon she realized something and her cheeks instantly flushed red.
She recognized it.
This was the painting paper on the desk in the study that day, and she had sat on it then.
"So, these marks were left by me back then..."
Dao Baifeng's face was crimson, overcome with shame, and she quickly put away the scroll. To think that the so-called famous painting was actually her own... it was truly too embarrassing.
After putting away the scroll, Dao Baifeng drank a few sips of cold tea to calm her emotions a bit.
Then she came to the window, gazing at the moonlight outside. As the solitary night wind blew, Dao Baifeng couldn't help but sigh softly.
These past few days, she had lived a very fulfilling life.
Her sudden departure left her with an empty feeling in her heart.
Just then, Duan Zhengchun arrived outside the door, hesitated for a long time, then pushed open the room door.
Seeing Duan Zhengchun, Dao Baifeng was startled, then quickly hid her unusual expression, saying coldly, "Why are you here?"
Facing the aloof Dao Baifeng, Duan Zhengchun inwardly cursed her as a Bitch, but at this moment, he didn't want to turn hostile directly and expose Dao Baifeng's disguise. He could only take a deep breath and force a stiff smile, "Nothing, I came to call you down for dinner."
"Oh, I'll be right down."
Dao Baifeng placed the scroll in her hand into a bamboo tube and hung it on the clothes rack.
Duan Zhengchun glanced at the bamboo tube and then said, "Yuer is waiting for you downstairs. I'll go call Xingzhu."
"Hmph!"
Dao Baifeng snorted and left directly.
Watching Dao Baifeng's retreating figure, Duan Zhengchun also let out a cold snort, thinking, "You still dare to act so proud in front of me? Do you really think I don't know about the shameful things you've done?"
The thought of Dao Baifeng, who was cold, reserved, and dignified in front of him, yet so wanton in front of Murong Fu, made Duan Zhengchun want to vomit blood.
After Dao Baifeng's figure disappeared, Duan Zhengchun turned and entered the room, immediately went to the bamboo tube, took out the scroll, and slowly unrolled it.
"I want to see what kind of painting your paramour gave you."
"Let's see if it's your erotic painting!"
Duan Zhengchun's eyes widened as he looked closely. He thought it might be a painting of Dao Baifeng specifically drawn by Murong Fu, perhaps even in the nude.
But when he saw it was blank inside, he looked astonished.
"Did she hide it and deliberately swap it, leaving a blank paper?"
Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but suspect this.
But he quickly noticed something was wrong and lowered his gaze.
