Chapter 180: The Outcome Of Processing The Liu Family’s Concubine Sister
After finishing breakfast, Rong Zhi, holding Qin Wanwan, took Shang Wuyang, who was disguised as a servant boy, to the Grand Tutor’s residence for a visit.
A calling card had been submitted yesterday, so everyone in the Gu family knew someone was coming today.
Third Master Gu knew exactly why these people were coming, feeling awkward and speechless.
How could Imperial Chancellor Rong be so reckless with a young lady? Was this still the same Imperial Chancellor Rong he knew, who disdained everyone?
When the carriage arrived at the Gu family’s doorway, Shang Wuyang, the servant boy, arrogantly walked ahead of the ‘host’s’ house without looking back.
The doorman gave him a weird look.
Rong Zhi, holding Qin Wanwan, got out of the carriage behind him.
Although disguised as a servant, the person in question had no servant-like demeanor at all.
Grand Tutor Gu, seeing Rong Zhi and his group, impatiently stroked his beard, almost losing his gentlemanly image and rolling his eyes.
“You actually came!”
Before Rong Zhi could speak, the little one, Qin Wanwan, trotted over to Grand Tutor Gu with her short legs.
“Grandpa Gu, Wanwan came to see you.”
She didn’t mention that she was there to join the fun and gossip.
The young lady was so cute, and her soft acting spoiled was irresistible.
Especially for an elderly person like Grand Tutor Gu, who had no resistance to a delicately carved, well-behaved, and cute child.
“Are you here to see me or to join the commotion?”
Thinking about yesterday’s events made him feel a bit stifled. He thought the incident with the Third Prince and Lin Wan’e was bad enough, but he didn’t expect such a major issue to arise within the family!
However, it was good that it was discovered in advance; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Grand Tutor Gu had also gone to the Imperial Palace early this morning to request a physician specializing in gynecology from the Emperor.
The Third Master’s wife was already six months pregnant. Fortunately, there was still time to slowly restore her health.
“Let’s go, it’s time to deal with those people.”
Although family scandals should not be spread, this matter was discovered by Qin Wanwan, and thanks were due to that parrot.
Grand Tutor Gu agreed because he felt it was fortunate that Qin Wanwan could help them discover this matter. The parrot seemed to know quite a bit, and they wanted to see what else it knew.
As he got up to go to Third Master Gu’s backyard, Grand Tutor Gu glanced at Shang Wuyang again.
This person… didn’t seem like a servant at all.
Looking at his casual attitude and the familiarity between Qin Wanwan and that person.
The little one, holding some fragrant sugar-fried chestnuts, stuffed one into Rong Zhi’s mouth and then naturally gave one to Shang Wuyang.
Feeling the scrutiny, Shang Wuyang fearlessly looked back at Grand Tutor Gu.
Grand Tutor Gu: …
If this person was a servant, he would swallow his brush pen!
However, that was their business, and he didn’t inquire further.
At this moment, in Third Master Gu’s backyard, there were Nanny Wang and her daughter, the black-hearted doctor who took the bribe, and Liu Xiangyi’s concubine sister.
Even a few of Liu Xiangyi’s maternal family members were present.
The scene was quite lively. Liu Xiangyi’s mother was furious and directly ordered her maid to slap Liu Xiangyi’s concubine sister, Liu Yunru.
“You wicked Fifth Miss, I thought I treated you and your mother well. I even treated you like half a daughter, considering you my own, even though you are not my biological daughter. Who knew I raised an ungrateful person who wanted to kill my daughter and become the new wife for my son-in-law? You mother and daughter are truly scheming!”
Liu Yunru’s concubine mother knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy.
Liu Xiangyi’s mother’s eyes were fierce.
“If I spare you, who will spare my pitiful daughter? If heaven hadn’t protected us and this was discovered early, it would have been a double death for her and her unborn child. How dare a concubine’s daughter be so bold? Do you think I am kind-hearted and easy to bully? Truly, a barking dog doesn’t bite.”
Thinking of her daughter lying weakly and haggard in bed, so thin she looked like skin and bones, but with a terrifyingly large belly.
She felt heartbroken. She never expected her daughter to be lucky enough to marry a good husband, with no other women in the back courtyard to cause trouble. This disaster, however, came from her own family.
“Guards, tie up these two whores! You want to be a new wife so badly? Go ask the servants in the residence if any of their former wives have died. If you want to be a replacement wife, I will fulfill your wish!”
Liu Yunru, who had remained silent even when beaten before, suddenly looked up, finally showing fear.
“Madam, you can’t do this. I am a young lady of the Liu family. Marrying me off to a servant will disgrace the Liu family!”
Madam Liu sneered, her eyes cold. “Who says you are a young lady of the Liu family? You are a bastard born from your mother’s adultery with a stable hand. You hid this from us for so long. Now that your true colors are revealed, you cannot stay.”
Liu Yunru and her concubine mother were struck by lightning.
“No, you can’t! Madam, you are embarrassing the Master. I want to see the Master, I want to see…”
Madam Liu sneered. “He has caused trouble like this before. This is just adding insult to injury. I’m sure the Master won’t mind.”
Keke chuckled on Qin Wanwan’s shoulder, looking a bit lecherous.
“Master Liu is the youngest son of the Liu family. He was a dandy from a young age. In his youth, he even competed with other dandies for courtesans. He also has many women in his back courtyard.
Madam Liu would not have married him if he didn’t have a good family background. Last year, his back courtyard had an affair between a concubine and a servant, which became widely known. That Master Liu has no sense of honor at all.”
Most people in this era cared about face and reputation, but some people didn’t, or rather, they had none at all.
Master Liu was clearly one of them.
Master Liu’s family was a collateral branch of the imperial family. Madam Liu was the daughter of a minor noble family and a pitiful child with a stepmother. In this era of arranged marriages, Madam Liu could only follow her stepmother’s arrangements and marry this scumbag.
After finally marrying her daughter to a good husband, and now her daughter was almost harmed, it was no wonder she was furious.
Concubine Chen, in a disheveled state, knelt and tried to beg for mercy but was dragged away by two nannies, who held her arms.
Madam Liu showed no softening of her heart towards their desperate pleas and repentance.
“Take them back. I will explain this matter clearly to the Master myself.”
The two were gagged and taken away from the Gu residence. The remaining Nanny Wang and Wang Xiaolian knelt on the ground, trembling like limp noodles.
Madam Liu turned back and bowed to the Gu family. After all, she had been raised in a noble family and still possessed basic decorum even in such a situation.
“My in-laws, I am truly sorry for causing you so much trouble. Xiangyi’s current condition cannot withstand fatigue. I will take these mother and daughter, along with Nanny Wang and Wang Xiaolian, back to deal with them, so as not to trouble Xiangyi and my son-in-law.”
The Gu family was very satisfied with her decision and, naturally, did not disagree.
Although the treatment of Liu Yunru was somewhat cruel, they were not saints. If their own daughter had been framed like this, they would have wanted to kill the perpetrator.
