Chapter 73

The wife and the concubine began a silent war as they tried to win him over. When the nobleman was out of town for a few days, the wife took the opportunity to call Shang to her bedroom in the main residence.

At first, she told him her leg was hurting, so she ordered him to massage it. Then she ask him to take off her clothes for her before pushing herself onto him. Shang pushed her away and made his escape.

However, due to the humiliation of having her advances rejected in such a manner, the wife ripped her own clothes and screamed. She called everyone to her. Then she accused Shang of trying to rape her, and that he had run away when he was unsuccessful.

Having been charged with the accusation of attempting to rape his master's wife, Shang was a dead man walking. However, when the nobleman returned home, the concubine snitched on the actions of the wife and thus Shang's life was barely spared.
