Quick Wear: If I Had Regret Medicine
Chapter 57 Cannon Fodder in Childbearing Literature 5
After hearing what Mrs. Zhan said, everyone looked at Xu Huiru who was shouting inside.
Xu Huiru's face was full of disbelief. She had already guessed what would happen today and knew what Zhang Jinxiu was going to do.
She didn't hide it from her either.
But now she hated Zhang Jinxiu. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have become like this.
"You are lying. It's all your fault that we are like this!" Xu Huiru was unwilling to accept it.
She was now only wearing a piece of clothing that belonged to someone unknown, and she had actually slept with Zhao Chenyuan, a well-known second-generation rich man in the capital.
The person she disliked the most was a philanderer, even worse than her own brother.
Seeing that Gu Xuanhe was just smiling and not saying anything, she became even more angry. Her eyes were red and she wanted to get out of bed and slap Gu Xuanhe twice to tear her ostentatious smile apart.
However, her legs were too weak to move, and she could only curse Gu Xuanhe madly, saying all kinds of nasty words, just like a shrew.
Now that this has happened between me and Zhao Chenyuan, I have no choice but to marry him.
Moreover, Zhao Chenyuan and Zhang Jinxiu also had a relationship. Could it be possible that he would marry two wives? There was no such thing in the past dynasties.
Thinking of this, Xu Huiru slapped Zhang Jinxiu in the face.
"Is it you? Why did I faint when I came to your yard to look for me? Did you ask someone to drug me? How could you do this to me? I still consider you my best friend, why did you do this to me!"
Xu Huiru is now biting whoever she catches and will not let anyone go.
Zhang Jinxiu was slapped by Xu Huiru, and she couldn't control her resentment all of a sudden. "Huiru, how could you think of me like this? I was being plotted against, and I just want to die. You are my best friend, how could I do such a cruel thing?"
Zhang Jinxiu cried and threw herself into the arms of the wife of the Duke of Fuguo, sobbing.
Everyone present looked at each other. Things were in a mess now. Those involved were all powerful people in the capital, and no one dared to say a word.
Princess An, Madam Xu, and the wife of Duke Fuguo all had red faces with anger.
When they saw Mrs. Zhan, they were so angry that their teeth were itching. Mrs. Zhan could have come out at any other time, but she had to come out at this time. If she didn't come now, they would have definitely pinned the blame on Gu Xuanhe, but it seemed that this was not going to work.
As a descendant of the Queen, Mrs. Zhan naturally did not get along with them.
"Miss Gu, does today's incident really have nothing to do with you?" The wife of the Duke of Fuguo looked at Gu Xuanhe with sharp eyes, still feeling a little unwilling in her heart.
Hearing her deep question, everyone present stared at Xuan He.
"Mrs. Zhang, you have to provide evidence when you speak. I came to attend your flower banquet today. Although I left for a while, you can't wrongly accuse me like this.
I am a weak woman, and I carried these three living people onto a bed and asked them to do such a thing. I don’t think I have such ability.
It was your maid who brought me into the house. Not only did she not find me a change of clothes, she also left me in the house and even locked the door. I want you to give me an explanation!"
Xuanhe's momentum suddenly became full, and it was no less than that of the Duke's wife.
At this time, Lady Fuguogong and Zhang Jinxiu felt guilty and naturally did not dare to talk about what had happened before in detail, and did not dare to tell Gu Xuanhe about this matter at all.
The ones who are in trouble now are Zhang Jinxiu and the others. Nothing serious happened to Xuanhe from beginning to end, just her skirt got wet. The most she cares about is that the host did not provide good hospitality.
"No, it's the best!" The Duke's wife didn't dare to look at Xuanhe again, and ordered someone to send the guests away.
The Zhang family has lost all their face today. Zhang Jinxiu, Xu Huiru, Zhao Chenyuan and others are too embarrassed to see anyone and just want these people to leave quickly.
"We won't entertain you today. We will come to your house to apologize in a while, and then we will invite all the ladies to come and enjoy the flowers and drink tea."
The wife of the Duke of Fuguo has issued an order to expel everyone, and now that everyone is here, the problem is difficult to resolve.
Mrs. Zhan had already left with her people. She was just led here by Gu Xuanhe, so she naturally knew her purpose. However, after seeing a good show today, she would not bother with Xuanhe.
Thinking about the conflict between my daughter and the queen, I want to write a letter to share today's incident with my daughter.
Xuanhe and his companions did not stay in the suburbs of Beijing for long before they were sent back home.
As soon as they came out, they met Brother Gu who came to pick them up.
"Are you okay?" Brother Gu asked them as soon as he came. As soon as they received the news from the maid, they immediately brought people over.
Fortunately, Brother Gu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two people were safe and sound.
The two men got into the carriage without saying much outside.
"Sister, what happened today? I thought the person inside was you!" Xuan Lan's voice trembled a little.
She was only a thirteen-year-old girl and it was the first time she had encountered such a thing.
"I really don't know. I was waiting there to change clothes, but no one came. So I left and then I met Mrs. Zhan. You know what happened next." Xuanhe explained, holding her hand.
"Luckily you're okay, I was scared to death!" Xuan Lan touched her chest. She never dared to attend a flower-viewing banquet again. It was said that banquets were places where accidents were prone to occur, but she had never encountered one.
Xuanhe thought about all the things that happened today. Among them, the ones who had been harassing her were a few young ladies from official families who disliked her, and one of them was Princess Deyang.
As far as the original owner could remember, this Princess Deyang had never offended her.
Xuanhe thought about it carefully and finally found this person in the corner of his memory.
The two had met at an earlier banquet, and Princess Deyang was completely indifferent to her.
It's very confusing. I don't know how I offended her.
When I returned home, there were already many people waiting at the door.
After Xuanhe and Xuanlan separated, they went to find Princess Zhaohe.
She told Princess Showa everything that happened today, without hiding anything.
After hearing everything that happened today, Princess Showa's face turned gloomy.
"Bring up that traitorous girl!" Someone immediately heard the order and went to bring Lan Zhi up.
Lan Zhi's face was now pale. She was carried here by two old women. Her legs were so weak that she couldn't take a step.
When she woke up today, she was too complacent to notice that something was wrong. She was only immersed in Zhang Jinxiu's promise to marry her to Zhao Chenyuan as his concubine.
She wanted to be the boss so much that she had not expected the subsequent developments. How come the people who were supposed to have a secret meeting with Zhao Chenyuan turned out to be Zhang Jinxiu and Xu Huiru?
Before she could figure out these things, she was taken back home.
"Bring her whole family here."
Lan Zhi, a maid who has followed Xuanhe since childhood, is a servant of the mansion. Her entire family works in the mansion.
Hearing Princess Showa's words, Lan Zhi suddenly raised her head.
"Madam, please let my parents go. I did this alone. I am willing to take responsibility. Please let them go!"
Lan Zhi kept kowtow on the ground, and soon his head became blurry, with blood dripping down his forehead.
Princess Showa didn't even look at her, she just picked up the cup and drank tea.
Soon Lan Zhi's family was brought in, there were more than a dozen of them in total.
Among them were two children who were a few years old.
Lan Zhi's mother is a kitchen maid, her father is also a steward, and she has a brother, sister-in-law, younger brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces. It's really a big family.
"Greetings, ma'am." Lan Zhizi and her family came in and saw the man kneeling on the ground. They didn't know what had happened.
Princess Showa waved to the nanny beside her, and the nanny recounted what had happened today in a loud voice.
"Call all the maids into the yard." Princess Showa said to a maid beside her.
Lan Zhi's family turned paler with every word the nanny said.
Lan Zhi actually did such a treacherous and treasonous thing, it's a matter of life and death.
They also kowtowed on the ground and kept begging for mercy.
However, Princess Zhaohe and Xuanhe ignored them. They waited until the maid came back to report that all the servants had arrived before they had their entire family taken away.
"Everyone was beaten with 50 sticks. The men who survived were sent to do forced labor, and the women who survived were thrown into the Baihua Building. No one was allowed to redeem themselves."
When the old woman heard that she was going to be beaten with fifty sticks, she fainted on the ground.
Even an adult man would not survive being beaten with fifty sticks, not to mention that there were many elderly, weak, women and children among them.
But as family children, they had no right to resist if their master wanted to kill them.
"Madam, please forgive me. I have no idea what I did to Lan Zhi! Even though my family has made no contributions to the mansion, we have also worked hard..."
Before he could finish his words, he was pushed down on the bench by the old woman and a rag was stuffed into his mouth.
Then in the yard there was the sound of a board hitting flesh, and all the scared people watched what was happening in front of them in silence.
Lan Zhi saw her little nephew in front of her, an eight-year-old boy, fainted after being beaten with three boards.
She regretted doing all this. Why did God treat her like this?
Even though she was about to succeed, she regretted not planning well and ended up hurting her family.
Lan Zhi watched several people faint. She looked at Xuanhe for the first time today. When she came back today, she had thought about her punishment, thinking that Xuanhe would forgive her this time because he had followed her for so many years. She looked at Xuanhe pleadingly, but Xuanhe didn't even look at her.
"This is the fate of betraying your master. Next time something like this happens, it won't just be you who will be implicated. I hope you'll learn from this."
The people who were crying and shouting in the yard just now could no longer make much sound, and several of them had fainted.
"Mom, has our family ever offended Princess Deyang?" Xuanhe raised his doubts.
"Princess Deyang's father and your grandfather don't get along. It's okay. I will return everything she did to you today."
Princess Showa asked someone to take Xuanhe downstairs to rest, and then arranged for people to do a few things.
The next day, everything that happened in the suburbs of Beijing was spread.
Even storytellers turned this incident into a story.
Everyone in the capital is watching how the Zhang family, the Xu family and Prince An’s Mansion will handle this matter?
One is the Queen's biological sister, and the other is the daughter of the Minister of Rites.
The protagonist of the story is the son of Prince An, and many people in the capital are waiting to see the show.
Princess An did not expect what happened yesterday. They sent people to greet everyone, but they did not expect the matter to spread so quickly.
Paper cannot hold fire.
Prince An was a carefree man, and he went to see his son lying in bed.
After looking him up and down for several times, he said with approval, "Not bad, son. I didn't expect my safe son to have such a talent! Well done. I've seen the family backgrounds of the two women. Don't worry, I'll ask the emperor to issue an order for you. Then you can have two beauties at the same time!"
Zhao Chenyuan looked at his father and walked away after he said these words without asking him any other questions. He was now afraid whenever he thought of women.
Those two women yesterday completely drained him dry.
He has had many women over the years, but this is the first time he has been forced to do something like this.
If it were in the past, he would definitely be very proud of himself, but now, he didn't even dare to go out and see people.
In the Mansion of the Duke of Fuguo, Zhang Jinxiu has been locking herself in her room since she came back yesterday. Although the wife of the Duke of Fuguo is worried, she still has to face other problems.
The husband was very angry. He was very concerned about his reputation, and now that something like this had happened to his daughter, he wished that Zhang Jinxiu was not his daughter.
Now that the rumors have spread throughout the capital, he is too embarrassed to go out and see people.
Royal Palace
Empress Zhang has been in a good mood these days. The emperor came to her palace a few days ago, and she took a pill to conceive twins.
Thinking that by this time next month, the baby in her belly might be detected, she would be able to hold her head high.
And when she thought about that incident and everything that Gu Xuan would face next, she felt very happy.
But her good mood did not last overnight. Early in the morning, her nanny received a letter from home.
When the nanny handed the letter to Empress Zhang, she thought the matter was successful and was happy until she opened the letter.
Just seeing the contents of the letter, her expression changed immediately.
The letter talked about what happened yesterday. How could Zhang Jinxiu and Zhao Chenyuan sleep together?
How could they be so incompetent that they couldn't even handle such a small thing?
Not only did he fail to do it, but he also got himself involved.
How could she have such a hindering family?
Empress Zhang burned the letter and thought about how to deal with the matter.
Although she did not have much affection for her sister, she represented the reputation of the Zhang family.
It also represents her reputation as the queen. Now that something like this has happened, there are countless bitches in the palace who will laugh at her.
