She looked up and saw Qian with a look of surprise on her face.

It's her!

It's her!

It was she who brought Gu to her!

Is she blind? Can't she see Gu's face?

Or is she deliberately scheming and wants to use the Gu family to achieve her own goals?

The concubine who was obsessed with the palace fighting all day long suddenly started to have conspiracy theories.

Finally, she simply gave up thinking about it.

Humph, she's just a lowly peasant woman, so I might as well give her a good lesson.

If it weren't for the fact that Qian was still of some use, the concubine would have wanted to beat her up and throw her into jail to make her suffer.

However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the punishment of life imprisonment cannot be escaped.

The concubine said directly in a hateful voice, "Beat him hard, and beat that stinky girl Xiaocao together!"

The two maids had just thrown Gu Qingcheng to the first floor and were rushing back to the second floor when they heard the concubine's angry roar.

have to!

Keep working!

The two maids rolled up their sleeves skillfully and pulled out a wide ruler from their waists.

Unlike the caution with which they carried Gu Qingcheng just now, the two old women were not polite at all during this "execution".

The two maids picked up the ruler and started slapping Qian's sister-in-law in the face.

Qian and her sister-in-law were stunned at first, and then they started wailing.

It hurts!

Both sides of my cheeks felt as if they were being cut by knives and burned by fire.

Gu Qingcheng was slumped in the lobby on the first floor. She looked sick on the outside, but she was counting inside: one, two, three... seventeen, twenty!

Well, twenty rulers are enough to beat a face into a pulp.

Qian, this is an appetizer.

There’s a big dinner coming up later!

Gu Qingcheng has never been a soft-hearted person, and will never repay evil with kindness.

She did not repay kindness with resentment, which means she was sticking to her "bottom line".

Qian has the intention to harm others. If she is still soft-hearted, she deserves to be bullied.

It wouldn't be surprising if you were struck by lightning one day.

After beating them, the concubine looked at the bruised and bloody faces of Qian's aunt and sister-in-law, and suddenly felt refreshed.

She stood up, flicked her sleeves, and was about to leave with her people.

Although Qian's aunt and sister-in-law were beaten, they did not dare to argue with the concubine.

The two of them resisted the urge to cry, and followed timidly and tremblingly.

When the concubine led a group of people through the first floor, she saw the white figure curled up in the corner.

The concubine did not pause, but a fierce look flashed in her eyes——

If such a beauty develops inappropriate thoughts, it must be resolved as soon as possible!

The hairs on Gu Qingcheng's neck suddenly stood up. There was such a strong murderous intent.

Gu Qingcheng was not afraid.

She dared to act like a demon in front of the concubine because she was fully prepared.

The concubine left the silver shop with her people, but Gu Qingcheng seemed unable to move due to her weakness.

The owner of the silver shop was almost crying.

He was really afraid that this beautiful woman who vomited blood at every turn would die in his shop.

Although this person is very beautiful, no matter how beautiful a person is, death is a trouble.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper has a backer.

He thought for a moment and said to his assistant, "You go find a doctor first and take good care of him. I'll find a solution."

The shopkeeper's solution was to go find his real boss, the county magistrate's wife, Mrs. Cui.

"Oh? Is that true?"

Mrs. Cui originally didn't want to pay attention to the concubine's affairs.

In her opinion, the woman was just a tool she found to serve the master.

Although Mrs. Cui occasionally expressed her fear and jealousy of the concubine, she never took such a concubine seriously in her heart.

Mrs. Cui came from a family of officials. When she married the county magistrate, he was just a newly minted Jinshi.

The county magistrate was able to have a smooth official career thanks to the Cui family's support.

Her family was supportive and the dowry was generous, so Mrs. Cui gave birth to three sons and one daughter.

In the magistrate's backyard, she is an existence that no one can shake.

However, the continuous births made Mrs. Cui a little scared.

Since she already has sons, and more than one, Mrs. Cui doesn't want to take any risks.

Giving birth to a child is like going through hell.

And as I get older, pregnancy and childbirth become more difficult.

Mrs. Cui doesn't want to die during childbirth and leave her dowry, children, etc. to her stepmother!

Mrs. Cui doesn't want to have children, but she has no good contraceptive methods.

Besides, she was a little tired of her husband——

A man in his thirties is no longer the young and handsome man he was when he passed the imperial examination.

Instead, he started to get wrinkles and a belly... Tsk, so old and greasy, how can he compare to the fresh and delicious young actors in the opera troupe?

Mrs. Cui even started to dislike her husband.

However, she could not show it herself. After all, as a woman, it was her duty to serve her husband and have children for her husband's family.

Mrs. Cui simply found a few concubines to share her risks.

The concubine is just one of them, and is more favored.

Even so, Mrs. Cui just glanced at it with "admiration" and did not pay much attention to it.

However, no matter how noisy the concubine was in the inner courtyard, Mrs. Cui would turn a blind eye.

But if she makes a scene outside, Mrs. Cui won't be able to let it go.

"Is that Gu a virtuous woman? How is her health? Is she seriously ill?"

"Forget it, I'd better go and see it myself!"
