The housekeeper said, "Why don't you go find the lady? Only the Shangshu's wife can control the eldest son."

Helplessly, the steward of the outer courtyard had to find the Shangshu's wife. When the Shangshu's wife first heard that the master had asked the steward of the outer courtyard to find this girl specifically for the old lady, she also felt that she shouldn't let her son do that.

However, after walking a few steps, she remembered that her son had a big fight with her some time ago because she didn't let him marry his cousin, and that his cousin might have been pregnant with his child, but was poisoned to death.

Therefore, a rift arose between mother and son. The Shangshu's wife was worried that if she stopped her son's good deeds again today, her son would resent her even more in his heart!

So, later she just let it go.

The person in charge of the outer courtyard was dumbfounded. How could they just ignore such a thing?

The girl your son is going to rape is of good birth, not a slave girl in your house. The steward stressed this premise, and the Shangshu's wife said with disdain:

"If she is favored by the eldest master, even if she is lucky, the worst that can happen is that he will take her as a concubine in the future." As if being the concubine of your family's lustful eldest master is such an honorable thing.

The manager of the outer courtyard was speechless. Why didn't the good girl find any man to be her principal wife? Why did she have to be a concubine in your family who was not worthy of being in the public eye?

The manager of the outer courtyard repeatedly begged the lady to rescue the girl.

Because his father was also a scholar and had achieved honors, and it was clearly written in the contract that he only came to read Buddhist scriptures.

You cannot take the house by force. This has been written into the contract. If the young master forces the girl, he might end up facing a lawsuit.

The Shangshu's wife was even more disdainful. She even hired someone to kill someone some time ago! What was the result? Now everything is fine. She is surprised by the rare things. Is the status of the Shangshu Mansion just for show?

Didn’t even the Jingzhao Yin dare not do anything to her?

How dare a little girl go against her? Even if she had the guts, she wouldn't dare!

The Shangshu's wife was extremely arrogant and looked down upon everything.

She was worried some time ago, but later she heard that Jingzhao Prefecture had closed the case in accordance with the rules and she was not involved at all, so she felt that Jingzhao Yin was nothing special!

Therefore, she didn't take a commoner girl seriously at all. So what even if she had a father with honor?

The Shangshu's wife watched her son harm a girl from a good family and did nothing.

The manager of the outer courtyard finally gave up on the lady.

He still went to the teahouse to find the master. Even though it was too late, he couldn't just do nothing, as that would make him feel guilty.

It's all his fault. He shouldn't have brought this good girl into a place like their Shangshu Mansion. He ruined the girl's life.

He ran very fast, entered the teahouse and asked the waiter to take him to find the Shangshu.

Minister Chen was having fun and chatting with a few colleagues over tea. This was also normal maintenance of interpersonal relationships. When they had nothing to do, they drank tea together and talked about things that were not easy to talk about in public.

Today he was very satisfied with the cooperation of his colleagues. They had a good discussion on several things. If these things were handled well, it would be of great benefit to his career in the future. Everyone complemented and helped each other.

As a result, he inadvertently saw his manager coming towards him with sweat all over his forehead, and he knew at a glance that something had happened.

He kept smiling as he said goodbye to his colleagues.

After getting into his own carriage, his expression immediately became serious and he called the steward into the carriage for a talk.

The steward of the outer courtyard, with red eyes, reported to Minister Chen the whole cause and effect of the matter, as well as what the eldest son did and what the lady said without hiding anything.

After hearing this, Minister Chen was so angry that he was shaking all over. The eldest son was a complete bastard. He had completely disregarded the basic bottom line of being a human being and wanted to snatch everyone in his grandmother's courtyard. How could such a bastard inherit his mantle in the future?

He doesn't deserve it at all!

Also, the Madam, as the mistress of the Shangshu Mansion, has no sense of crisis at all. The steward has already made the interests clear to her, but she still condones the eldest son's mistakes.

With a mother like her, the eldest son is completely ruined!

I hope we can make it in time. The Shangshu asked the coachman to hurry up! The coachman also whipped the horse's butt a few times. The carriage was almost running to its limit. In fact, he and the steward knew that they would basically not be able to catch up if they ran all the way back.

But he still had hope, what if? What if the eldest son just took the person back to the yard and didn't do anything irreversible?

After entering the Shangshu Mansion, Shangshu Chen almost ran all the way. When he arrived at the eldest son's courtyard, he only heard a girl's shrill scream, followed by a dull bang.

Chen Shangshu paused, his eyes fixed on the disheveled girl who ran out. He rushed towards the pillar like a gust of wind and stretched out his hand to stop her, but before he could say anything, the girl had already fallen at his feet.

Her hair was disheveled and her eyes revealed despair and determination.

Her steps staggered, as if she had lost all her strength, but her goal was extremely firm - the pillar at the door.

She rushed towards the pillar like a wounded beast, desperately, and every step made people feel her inner pain and despair.

When she got close to the pillar in the blink of an eye, she didn't hesitate at all and slammed into it with all her strength. The dull sound of the collision resounded throughout the yard, making people's hearts tremble.

Blood immediately gushed out of her head, staining her clothes and the ground red. Her body fell down softly, but her eyes were still wide open, and she died with her eyes open.

It was an unspeakable pain and unwillingness, as if telling the world the injustice and humiliation she had suffered.

Her body gradually became cold, and the breath of life gradually faded away. The whole yard was filled with a sad and desolate atmosphere, which made people feel sorry and sad for this poor girl.

Minister Chen and the steward only caught up with this decisive scene and were too late to stop it. The girl's life was lost in front of them.

The steward of the outer courtyard couldn't help crying out loud when he saw this scene, "Girl, I am sorry for you."

The eldest son was upset because of this ungrateful girl. He was even more furious when he heard the crying of the outer courtyard manager. He roared angrily:

"Why are you crying? She is your father? Who are you crying for?" He was jumping and cursing while putting on his clothes.

When Minister Chen came to his senses, he saw his son's aggressive look and was filled with hatred. He took a few steps forward, raised his arm and gave the eldest son a big slap in the face.

"Snap!" The crisp sound was heard from far away, showing how much strength Minister Chen used this time.

The eldest son was beaten so hard that he saw stars and it took him a long time to recover.
