Marry another wife, the mistress of the marquisate will not serve you anymore

The distinguished guests in the room never expected that they would come to attend a birthday banquet and actually encounter such a shocking news. Their view on the Marquis's Mansion has changed.

Zhao Yundi was delighted to see the high-spirited and dignified Marquis end up living in such poverty:

“My Lord, since the old Lord passed away, I heard that you four brothers and sisters are still squandering money and still like to bully the people outside.

In order to fill the huge hole in the Marquis's Mansion, you coaxed and deceived Wan Yin into marrying you, and the whole family relied on Wan Yin's dowry to make ends meet.

What? Now that Wan Yin has seen through the true colors of your Gu family and no longer provides for your life, you are planning to sell off your ancestral property?

This kind of behavior constitutes the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Don't forget that all the Gu family's property was given by the late emperor and Your Majesty. How could you sell it at a low price?

How can this be considered a proper official? It is simply destroying the reputation of the royal family and damaging the royal family's dignity.

What crime did you, the Marquisate, commit?"

These words were spoken with great force and aggression, and every word turned into a sharp blade, piercing the hearts of the Gu family.

The lady turned pale with fear. From what the princess said, this matter was no longer a private matter of the Gu family, but had risen to the level of the royal family. She knelt down with a plop and said:

"Princess, please calm down. If the Marquis's Mansion had not reached a desperate point, it would not have resorted to such a desperate measure.

Today I held a birthday banquet, hoping to entertain all the dignitaries, but I never expected that everyone would witness a family scandal.

Now that things have come to this point, the Gu family has no choice but to lift the veil.

Song Wanyin, the legitimate daughter of the former Grand Marshal and the mistress of the Marquis's family, is unrighteous, unfilial, and shameless. She has been married into the Gu family for three years but has no children, and she also holds the financial power.

In order to have children and continue the family line, Chen Ge'er had no choice but to ask for permission to marry a concubine.

Song Wanyin held a grudge against the Gu family because of this. She could not tolerate Lan Yue and the fetus in her belly, and she cut off all financial resources of the Gu family.

Not only did he cause chaos in the mansion all day long and there was no peace, but he also led all the servants in the mansion to do nothing, leaving behind a huge mess.

For any of these, Song Wanyin has violated one of the seven offenses against women and should be divorced with a letter of divorce.

But Chen Ge'er, considering they were husband and wife, tolerated her again and again. Unexpectedly, she did not repent but became even worse.

My eye diseases are caused by her and I am at risk of going blind.

In order to maintain the daily expenses of the mansion, Chen Ge'er searched for famous doctors to treat me, and had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.

I hope the princess will understand."

The elders of the Gu family could no longer sit still, and they all stood up and knelt down, fearing that they would be in trouble.

Gu Qingchen's eyes were bloodshot and his back teeth were almost broken. This time, the Gu family was brought disgrace upon itself.

I had originally thought that after the distinguished guests had almost finished their meal, those officials who wanted to curry favor with me would find an opportunity to honor me.

Now it's all ruined, and I'm regretting it so much.

There was shock in the eyes of the old uncle and Madam Jiang. They had never expected that the Marquis' Mansion had such an unknown secret. For a moment, they stood there in shock as if struck by a bolt from the blue.

If my daughter marries into the Gu family in the future, she will have to live a hard and tight life. She might even be trampled under the feet of Song Wanyin and never be able to stand up again.

Zhao Yundi frowned, grasped the key point, and asked back:

“So, according to what the Madam said, Wan Yin has indeed been in charge of the Marquis’s Mansion all these years, handling all matters big and small.

You have indeed received all the support and preferential treatment given by Wanyin.

You still say you are not parasites, but it's obvious that you want to suck her blood dry.

My Lord, it was obviously you who was unfaithful to your marriage first. In the past three years, you have treated your wife with disregard.

If you leave her alone, how can she give birth to a child?

Now that you have returned home in glory, you should ask for permission to marry a concubine and abandon your wife, even though you are well-versed in the books of sages.

What is the difference between you and those drunkards and womanizers?

I heard that Jiang Lanyue got pregnant before marriage. According to the laws of our dynasty, she would be burned to death or disgraced.

As an official appointed by the imperial court, what crime should you be punished for knowingly breaking the law?

When it comes down to it, you were the ones who wronged Wan Yin first. So why should Wan Yin continue to serve you as she did before?

This is eating and taking at the same time, please don’t eat in an ugly way. "

Gu Qingchen's cheeks felt burning and stinging, as if he had been slapped in public, and his fists were clenched so hard that they made crackling sounds.

Faced with the princess's accusations, he was angry but dared not say anything, and his hatred for Song Wanyin increased even more.

Jiang Lanyue was also inadvertently affected, and the distinguished guests present cast disgusted looks at her, as if she was dirty from her hair to her toes.

She bit her lower lip tightly, tears flashed in the corners of her eyes, and she almost cried out loud.

Having never suffered such a great humiliation since childhood, he was particularly afraid that the princess would hold him accountable.

Influenced by the princess, all the distinguished guests in the room started to criticize Gu Qingchen for all his faults and felt very sympathetic towards Song Wanyin's situation.

Among them, there were many dignitaries, who were former generals under the command of the former Grand Marshal. They could no longer bear it and stood up to speak up for Song Wanyin.

Song Wanyin was able to bring the Gu family to ruin without any effort, and she just stood aside quietly without saying anything.

I always firmly believe that evil can never defeat justice and that the innocent will be cleared.

Gu Qingchen was so angry that he retorted:

“I admit that a buyer was found, but it was not a private transaction.

You can’t wrongly accuse me of this matter, and you can’t throw dirty water on me.”

He turned around, walked up to Gu Qingye, grabbed the collar and started questioning him loudly.

"If you have the guts, then show me the evidence. Why are you slandering me?

I am your elder brother, do you know what you are doing?

You dared to get drunk and cause trouble in such a big occasion, you are crazy!"

Gu Qingye simply gave up and laughed wildly:

"Hahaha, Gu Qingchen, you get scared sometimes too.

If you don't know, you can do nothing.

Everything has its consequences, and I am your retribution."

In order to clarify the matter and to silence the gossips, the Madam immediately gave the order:

"Someone, go and ask the buyer to come over. I want to ask him in person."

After a stick of incense had passed, a servant came in with a young man. When the young man saw such a big scene, he was so scared that he lowered his head.

The lady frowned and asked:

"Who are you? Did the Marquis sell part of his property to you before?"

The young master knew that this kind of occasion was filled with nobles, so he took a deep breath and pretended to be calm:

"My name is Meng Weijie, my father is a prefect, and I had the honor of meeting the Marquis a while ago. We had a very pleasant conversation and became friends.

When he learned that the Marquis was in urgent need, he hoped that I could be generous and agree to sell part of his property at a low price.

I really couldn't refuse the Marquis's honor, so I could only agree reluctantly. I stole the money from my family without telling my father, and completed the transaction with the Marquis in private.

If you don't believe me, the house deed and land deed are here, please have a look, Madam."
