Chapter 390: Apology

Ye Caiping continued:

"Why did the late emperor give him the imperial edict? To help them get married! But Gu Yang said he loved my Man Man, but he turned around and messed around with two or three concubines. Where is the true love?"

"If you don't love her, why put Manman's name on it? Is Gu Yang deceiving the late emperor? He doesn't like my Manman at all! He just changed his mind after getting engaged! Isn't this a slap in the face of the late emperor?"

"Besides, if he loves Manman, why does he have three concubines? Is his love so worthless? Is his love fake? He is deceiving the late emperor!"

Mei was so scared that her face turned pale: "No, no, no... I have had those three concubines for a long time... They just made some mistakes at home, so I drove them out. Yang'er fell in love with Manman during this period. Then he got drunk during the Chinese New Year... We were far away from home at that time, so we stayed there, but we didn't expect those three bitches to make trouble..."

"As a man, even if he truly loves a woman, he will have a concubine. Which man doesn't do that?"

Ye Caiping sneered and slapped her hard: "Quibbling!"

Mei's face turned pale: "You——"

Ye Caiping's face darkened slightly: "I am a third-rank lady, and you are only a third-rank lady. How can I not hit you?"

The Great Zhou would demote his title, but not his name, only his rank.

The Ningguo Marquisate had been downgraded after several generations, and Mei's imperial title of third rank came from her father Gu's position.

Mei gritted her teeth and said, "I... am not making excuses... Yang'er was really just drunk. He was sincere to Manman, and it wasn't intentional."

Ye Caiping raised an eyebrow: "Oh, if you really mean it, why didn't you even come to apologize?"

Mei's face turned pale. Although it sounds a bit harsh, it is common for men to have three or four wives. If you come to apologize, it will be made like a big deal.

Mei said: "This is just a small matter... I thought the Shen family was generous and would not mind such a small matter..."

Ye Caiping sneered: "Are you flattering the Shen family?"

Mei's face turned green: "We were careless... I'll ask Yang'er to come and apologize later."

After saying that, he turned and hurried away.

Ye Caiping looked at her back, with a hint of sarcasm and coldness in her eyes.

In fact, they could make a fuss about this matter and maybe get rid of the marriage decree.

Just say that Gu Yang deceived the late emperor.

But there is a high probability that he will make excuses for this, and this is a patriarchal society. It is normal for Gu Yang to say that a man has three wives and four concubines. It is nothing to just sleep with a few concubines.

By then, all the men in the capital will be attracted to him.

Instead, it put Shen Manman at a disadvantage.

It would be better to wait for Gu's father to poison himself and frame his son! This matter can bring down both the father and the son.

But... who did this?

If I'm not mistaken, it was Li Jiaojiao's doing!

Humph, you have become smarter and know how to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

......

After Mei returned home, she immediately went to Gu Yang's room and asked him to apologize.

Gu Yang's face was dark: "I won't go! At the New Year's Eve dinner, that little bitch relied on her status as a princess to slap me twice. If I go this time... wouldn't it be like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth?"

At this time, Father Gu walked in with a sullen face: "Isn't it all your fault for acting so absurdly? You've already been engaged, and it's only been half a month. What's wrong with being patient?"

Gu Yang's face turned dark blue.

Father Gu said, "Pack up and follow me to the Shen family to apologize!"

After saying that, he snorted coldly and turned to walk out.

Mei quickly took the cloak handed over by the maid and put it on Gu Yang: "Just be patient with her. No matter how willful and capricious she is, she has to listen to you once she enters the door."

Gu Yang gritted his teeth and said, "Can she be obedient?"

"Humph, how can I not listen! As long as she becomes yours, she will care about you. As long as a woman starts to care about a man, she will give everything for him."

"No matter how noble a woman is, once she is controlled by a man, she will be as humble as a dog. Let's not talk about others, just... Que! She was the daughter of a minister. There were so many men waiting for her to choose."

"But she has her eyes on your father. Although your father is the son of a marquis, his title has been downgraded to the fourth rank. This prince is not as valuable as her, the daughter of a minister!"

"But she threw herself at him, bowed down to him, and even washed his feet. Later, she asked her father, the Shangshu, to find a good position for your father. Otherwise, how could she have climbed to the position of a third-rank official? How could she be so successful today!"

"As long as you control Shen Manman, she will ask the Shen family to find you the position you want."

Gu Yang's eyes lit up with flames as he listened to these words.

Although he is neither good at literature nor martial arts, he is ambitious!

He wants to serve as an official in the court! To move up step by step! Also, he wanted Shen Manman, a princess, to kneel in front of him like a dog and lick his feet!

Mei said: "It's not difficult to control a woman. We have already arranged it. But you... Humph!"

Gu Yang gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go apologize! I'll apologize now!"

......

The Ningguo Marquis family of three took a carriage and soon arrived at the gate of the Shen family.

But the servants did not even invite them to wait in the outer hall, but stopped them outside the door.

A servant went in and told them to wait.

The three felt extremely humiliated.

They waited for half an hour, and their faces turned pale with cold. At this moment, an ox cart carrying three large barrels of things passed by slowly.

When it came behind the three people, the car suddenly overturned.

With a "splash", three buckets of dirty stuff poured all over the heads and faces of the three members of the Gu family!

"Ahhh——" As soon as Mei touched the thing on her body, she let out a loud scream. It turned out to be three barrels of human urinary tract infection!

"Ugh——" Father Gu and Gu Yang also lay on the ground and vomited.

At this time, the servant who went in to pass the message ran out, covering his nose and saying, "Hey, what happened? Ningguo Hou, even if you don't want to apologize, you don't have to do such a disgusting thing!"

Father Gu vomited so much that his face turned blue: "What disgusting thing did I do?"

"You actually poured manure in front of our Dingguo Marquis Mansion!"

At this time, Marquis Dingguo rushed out from the gate: "Well, well, what a great Gu Shen! Not only do you disrespect Manbao and don't take Manbao seriously, but now you don't even take our Marquis Dingguo Mansion seriously? You actually poured manure in front of my house! Do you really think we are easy to bully!"

As he said that, he actually took out the whip from his waist and started whipping the three men.

“Ah ...

The three of them were already vomiting to death, and now they were beaten again. They immediately rolled back into the feces on the ground, and in the end they even drank a few mouthfuls!

The three men were beaten half to death and then ran out crying.

The people watching around were stunned.

This was not enough. After beating the people, Marquis Dingguo immediately went to the palace and cried to the Queen Mother, saying that the Ningguo Marquisate was not a human being. Not only did they not respect the marriage decree, but they even did such a disgusting thing.

The Queen Mother was very angry and immediately sent several eunuchs to the house. They slapped the three men ten times each and asked them to apologize sincerely.

Gu's father had just cleaned up a nest of troubles when he was punished again. He was almost angry to death.

Gu Yang roared: "They did it on purpose! They did it on purpose!"

Father Gu stared at him angrily: "So what if you did it on purpose? Who told you not to give others face first?"

Gu Yang's face was livid: "Didn't they say that the three regents have been trying to find fault with the Queen Mother? Look at what she has done. She is deliberately favoring the Shen family!"

Father Gu glared at him: "So what! Do the regents have nothing to do? If they don't obey the marriage decree, it means the Queen Mother is disrespectful to the late Emperor. But they can't care about such trivial matters!"
