Chapter 57 Adding Frost to Snow_1

The Li Family courtyard was filled with a cacophony of ghostly wails and wolfish howls that finally subsided after a long while. Li Genbao had spent the previous night indulging in amorous delights, staying at a widow's house until midnight. Now feeling weak and fatigued, he chased Zhao Lan until he was too tired to continue, then stopped and viciously cursed at her. The ferocity in his demeanor contrasted sharply with the gentle and subservient behavior he showed at Widow Zhang's house—it was as if he was a completely different person. This situation perfectly illustrated the saying, "A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a steal." It's uncertain what Zhao Lan would think if she saw that side of him.

"What are you wailing about! Your wailing is giving me a headache. Did you give the money to your nephew?" Li Genbao sat on a stool, holding a teapot in hand. Without using a cup, he poured the tea directly into his mouth.
