Soft and crispy waist

The old marquis, who was originally in a daze, had his eyes lit up the moment he saw Xia Zheng's face.

He looked the man up and down, his eyes filled with joy and desire.

You claim to be a maid or concubine, and you are from his backyard?

How could he not remember that there was such a beauty in his yard?

But he had dozens of concubines in his courtyard, so it was normal that he occasionally forgot some of them.

I'll remember it when I see it today.

"Why be so polite? Come, call me your kiss." The old marquis reached out to hold Xia Zheng's hand.

Xia Zheng was so shocked that she quickly dodged to the side, trembling with anxiety, "My Lord, this is inappropriate."

"Inappropriate? What's inappropriate?" The old marquis's face darkened, but when he saw her panicked look, which made her even more alluring, he quickly smiled. "Oh, you're playing hard to get with me, then I'll...force myself on you!"

The old marquis swung his pig-trotter-like hand and pounced on her. Xia Zheng barely dodged it and shouted anxiously, "Marquis, please respect yourself. I, Xia Zheng, am no longer a member of your household. You can't..."

"I don't care what you say about your Zheng. You are my person in my house. Stop pretending for me." The old marquis, who was already angry, could not bear it any longer. He grabbed her clothes and pulled them, revealing half of her shoulders. Her skin was as white as cream. The old marquis' eyes instantly glowed green.

'Snapped! '

Just when I was feeling excited, a slap hit my face.

He used all his strength to hit the fat face, not only making it shake, but also leaving three bloody marks on his face with his long fingertips, which was burning with pain.

"How dare you hit me! I'll kill you right here, you bitch!" Looking at the blood running down his cheek, the old marquis gritted his teeth and grabbed her slender wrist without playing games anymore, while his other hand reached for her already torn collar.

At the critical moment, a figure came flying.

Before he could see what it was, the old marquis flew backwards, his fat body slamming heavily to the ground. He grimaced in pain and cursed, "Which reckless bastard dared to kick me..."

When he looked up and saw Gu Yizi's face as white as frost, all the words the old marquis wanted to say got stuck in his throat.

Then he wrapped Xia Zheng in his cloak and held her in his arms. Xia Zheng huddled against him, feeling confused for a moment. She rubbed her eyes several times, but the scene before her didn't change. She asked, "Son-in-law, what are you doing?"

"I would like to ask my father-in-law what his intention is. Why would he do such a shameful thing to my pregnant concubine?" He called him father-in-law, but there was no respect in his tone. Instead, there was a strong coldness and murderous intent.

A pregnant concubine?

Gu Yizi's concubine!

The old marquis sobered up immediately.

Gu Yizi had difficulty in having children before, but now she is finally pregnant with two. The emperor attaches great importance to this. Those who were executed, exiled and demoted some time ago were all because they were deeply or superficially involved in the assassination of Gu Yizi's pregnant concubine at the banquet that day.

This is the concubine.

Xia Zheng…Xia Zheng!

The old marquis suddenly remembered, isn’t this the stepdaughter of Xia Gang’s family!

Didn’t Zhou say that he died of illness?

How could she become Gu Yizi's concubine, get pregnant, and appear in front of him?

During this period, Tao Yurong has been telling the emperor to value Gu Yizi. Now is a special period, he must be honest, not give anyone a handle, and not give Gu Yizi the opportunity to push them away.

But now...

This son-in-law has never valued me and only pays respect to me in words. Will this incident... cost him his life?

"Why is the prince here?" Just when I was feeling confused and didn't know what to do, Tao Yurong's voice came quickly from inside.

Turning around, Tao Yurong was jogging over with her skirt lifted, followed by the servant who had previously supported the old marquis.

When he heard that Xia Zheng was Gu Yizi's concubine, he hurried to the backyard to report the news.

Seeing Tao Yurong coming, the old marquis was like seeing a savior. He got up from the ground in a panic and hid behind her, saying, "It's good that you're here. Tell the prince quickly that your father was... was drunk. I didn't know who she was, so I thought..."

Tao Yurong interrupted him with a glare and had the nerve to say that her face was disgraced by them one by one.

But the bloodline couldn't be severed, and even though he was unwilling, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and plead with Gu Yizi: "Please forgive me, my lord. Xia Zheng just vomited and changed into the clothes of the concubine in the mansion. I think my father mistakenly thought she was the concubine in the mansion, and that's why... he lost control for a moment."

Tao Yurong felt sick with every word she said, and her face was slapping again and again. She didn't dare to look up to meet Gu Yizi's eyes.

"It seems that my father-in-law's backyard is even more lively than the emperor's harem. He can't even recognize all of his concubines." Gu Yizi's tone was light and smiling. It sounded like a joke, but it made people feel cold in their hearts.

According to the etiquette of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the old marquis with a hereditary title could only have one wife and three concubines at most, not to mention that he was only a fifth-rank official.

Although not everyone abides by this and turns a blind eye behind the scenes, there are more concubines than the emperor's harem, so it can be a big deal or a small matter. What's more, if something goes wrong now, it can be solved with just a word from Gu Yizi.

If this is reported to the higher authorities, the old marquis will be found guilty of usurping the throne and will lose his title even if he doesn't die.

The old marquis was so frightened that his face turned pale and he hurriedly grabbed Tao Yurong with one hand.

"I came here today to visit my mother-in-law after hearing that she was ill. But now it is inconvenient. Princess Consort, please take care of her in the Marquis' Mansion on my behalf." After saying that, Gu Yizi took Xia Zheng in his arms and walked out.

Tao Yurong bid farewell, tears of humiliation stubbornly refusing to fall in her eyes.

She understood that Gu Yizi was reminding her.

Since he wants to stand on the same side as his mother and strive for wealth and glory, he should take good care of his mother's family, which is a burden.

When everything is under control, I will return to the Duke’s Mansion.

"I was scared to death. I thought that guy was going to kill me for a concubine." Seeing the man walk away, the old marquis breathed a sigh of relief and stroked his chest lightly, without any self-reflection on his face.

Tao Yurong stood up and looked at her father, who was like a pile of mud. While wiping the arm that he had just grabbed with a handkerchief, she said coldly, "Father will be resting in the mansion from tomorrow. He doesn't need to go to work."

"Father is not sick! Why do you want to take a leave?"

Ignoring the old marquis' words, Tao Yurong continued, "All the concubines, maids, and virgin maids in the mansion will be driven out. From now on, my father will be served by servants."

"Why? That kid from the Gu family didn't blame me. I just recognized the wrong person. Why do you want to disperse my family's backyard? Besides, it was you who stole Xia Zheng from the Marquis's Mansion and made her Gu Yizi's concubine. Do you really think you're the Crown Prince's Consort? It's so big that I have to take over my family's courtyard."

"Okay! If father doesn't want to separate, then we can't!" Tao Yurong nodded. Just as the old marquis was about to smile and say something, she slammed the handkerchief in his face and shouted, "Since none of you want to, then let's all die together as a family!"
