Chapter 74: The Son of This Humble Horseman
Before Gu could react, Deng Zheng pulled Gu's arm and slapped her angrily.
I don’t know if it was because of the pain or fear, but Gu kept screaming.
The groom was also running very fast. When he saw Deng Zheng jumping off the roof, he left Gu behind and ran away.
Li Tianzhuo, who had been lying in ambush outside the door, directly brought the person in.
"You thief, you're making me suffer!"
"Ask yourself, how have I, Deng Zheng, treated you after being married for twenty years? How could you...how could you do such a shameful thing!"
"What misfortune for our family! What misfortune for our family!"
Deng Zheng's voice became hoarse. Looking at Gu's face, which showed no remorse at all, he slapped her a few more times.
Gu's face was swollen from the beating and she collapsed on the ground.
Deng Zheng wanted to punch the groom a few more times, but he suddenly seemed to think of something. He looked at Deng Youning, glanced at Li Tianzhuo, and pleaded:
"This is a family affair of our Duke's Mansion. Lord You Ning and Lord Li, I beg you not to tell anyone about this matter."
Even though he was heartbroken, he still remembered to save his old face!
“Too late!”
Deng Youning shook his head regretfully.
She originally wanted to make a big deal out of this matter. Others who had just seen the show included Han Qiongyue, Jun Chenyi, Yan An, Madam Dou, Ying Shi and others.
They all knew martial arts and, like Deng Youning and Deng Zheng, ambushed in the dark or on the rooftops.
This is what Deng Youning had told everyone in advance.
One should not be too selfish. How could one let Deng Zheng watch such a good show alone?
Seeing Han Qiongyue and others coming out, Deng Zheng and Gu both looked as pale as death.
But, this is far from enough!
Deng Youning also arranged people to call all the guests who were going to attend the banquet today.
Now, these people are rushing here under the leadership of several of Deng Youning's trusted maids.
This time, Gu really intends to go all out.
She looked around, at everyone present, and directed her criticism at Deng Youning.
"Deng Youning, you are really our good daughter. You brought father to catch mother in adultery!"
Deng Youning glared at her and corrected her, "Madam Gu, didn't I tell you the day you whipped me that we are no longer mother and daughter?"
She warned in a cold voice, crossing her arms across her chest, looking like she was waiting to see a good show.
"Gu, at this point, do you have anything else to say?"
Han Qiongyue scolded harshly.
The Deng family has a daughter-in-law who brings disgrace upon the family. She is truly ashamed of her ancestors!
The groom was a man of great responsibility. He rushed out responsibly, knelt in front of Deng Zheng, and kowtowed to admit his mistake.
"I seduced my lady. If you want to report me to the police, just arrest me. Don't make things difficult for my lady."
"Her family was raided, her relatives were exiled; her son was crippled, his will was worn out; her daughter is unknown whether she is dead or alive. She has not had a good day since she married into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion!"
The groom burst into tears and described Gu's fate as being extremely unfortunate and tragic.
Deng Youning found it ridiculous after hearing this. What a ridiculous fabrication!
"Zhang Zhan, you are so good at making up stories, you should be a storyteller!"
"You, Zhang Zhan, are the groom of the Gu family. You and Madam Gu fell in love when she was still a virgin. My foolish father fell in love with Madam Gu and wanted to marry her into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion regardless of family background."
"Mrs. Gu's biological father was a greedy man. In order to get close to the Deng family, he sold his daughter."
"But Madam Gu had already secretly conceived a child with you. She was already pregnant when she married into the Deng family."
"Later, while my father was away suppressing bandits, my grandfather and grandmother were both on the frontier, and there was no one at home, so I gave birth to your child. I asked Niu Cuiqin, the midwife from Niujia Village, to help cover it up."
"During that time, Madam Gu's belly was filled with pillows. When the time was right, she asked Niu Wenpo to pretend to deliver the baby and took the opportunity to bring the child into the mansion."
Deng Youning briefly recounted the facts that Niu Cuiqin had told her before.
Seeing that Deng Youning knew everything, Gu and the coachman were very surprised.
"No, you're lying. I was caught having an affair, and I admitted it, but what makes you say your brother isn't your biological son?"
Gu always tries to make excuses when he is faced with an error, and will never admit it even if he is wrong.
She has a really strong mentality, she doesn't blush or get nervous!
"Okay, Deng Youning, do you want to kick us out of the Deng family, so that the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion will be yours?"
"I'm telling you, you're dreaming. You're a girl, even if you marry a man into your family, your son won't be able to inherit the title of Duke!"
Gu is now very glad that Deng Youning was a daughter. If it was a son, she would probably not even be able to leave Yier with her life.
Deng Youning smiled slightly and took out a petition.
"This is what Niu Wengpo said herself, and there is a signature to prove it. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to invite the midwife to confront her face to face."
She walked around with the complaint so that Deng Zheng, Gu, Han Qiongyue and all the guests present could see it.
Although others didn't notice, Han Qiongyue had already figured it out in her mind.
Three months ago, Deng Youning suddenly said that she wanted to go for an outing in the suburbs of Beijing. She must have gone to see Niu Wenpo.
This kid, such a big thing, didn't even inform me in advance? !
Her eyes swept towards Li Tianzhuo. They were the ones who handled the illegal gold mining case together.
It seems that even Li Tianzhuo knew about the Gu family's affairs, but he had been kept in the dark!
Han Qiongyue suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
The noise they made here was quite loud, so Deng Yi naturally heard some news in Linfeng Courtyard.
He was supported by a servant and staggered over.
"Mother, is what she said true?"
"Am I really not a blood relative of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but the son of this lowly groom?"
When everything was silent, his roar startled Gu and the groom even more.
Deng Yi glared at the coachman, wishing he could kill him. It seemed that if he died, the stain on himself would be gone, and he would still be the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
"Everyone, don't worry. If you want to verify whether the prince is your biological son, I have a more effective method than blood test."
As he spoke, Deng Youning took out a snake from his sleeve.
"This snake has a preference. It likes to drink the blood of the same bloodline at every meal."
"A few months ago in Nanxin Snake Valley, I was able to reunite with my grandmother, all thanks to it."
Deng Youning gave a brief introduction and asked someone to bring a few basins.
She set an example for Deng Yi and without saying a word, she cut her arm to let the blood flow.
And when Deng Zheng was unwilling to do so, he let his blood flow.
There were two kinds of blood and two basins. After the snake finished drinking one, it actually crawled to the second one to continue drinking blood.
"Prince, it's your turn!"
Deng Youning handed the knife to Deng Yi and let him do it himself.
Although Deng Yi is stupid and crazy, he still has some manly qualities.
He himself also wants to understand his own life experience!
The knife cut the skin and bright red blood dripped into another empty basin, but this time, the snake did not crawl over to drink the blood.
Everyone was stunned, as if they were watching a monkey or snake dance in the street.
"Could it be that the snake is full?"
Immediately, a guest raised questions.
"With just this little bit of blood, you shouldn't be able to drink enough!"
Jun Chenyi expressed his opinion.
In order to convince everyone, Deng Youning walked up to Han Qiongyue and begged:
"I don't think Grandmother would want my bloodline to be mixed up. Please lend me some blood."
Although Han Qiongyue was still angry that Deng Youning did not inform her of today's events in advance, she still knew the priorities.
Sure enough, as soon as her blood came out, the snake came again, smelling the scent.
The only thing he didn't drink was Deng Yi's blood. The fact was already very clear.
"Gu, what else do you have to say?!"
Deng Zheng's eyes were bloodshot and his neck was red.
If he didn't want to lose his composure in front of others, he would have beaten the bitch Gu to death with his own hands!
