Chapter 142: A Rare Absence of Female Competition, Time to Help
[Heh heh, you should have someone notify Lord Gongsun, the detective, or even the Minister of Justice.]
[I'm sending Rong Er on a errand. Make sure both women don't die. I'd rather the other man be a eunuch than gamble with my sister's life!]
Rong Er received the order to immediately go and invite Lord Gongsun, while the woman inside held her maid's hand tightly, looking pained.
The woman and the little girl outside also looked incredulous, but did not make any other moves.
[Host, there's a stall over there. Let's sit down for a while and watch the show later.]
No one inside has come out yet. I wonder what will happen when they do? Will they tear my hair out? Will they be slapped?
Ji Yingying went over and sat down to watch the play. She probably couldn't hear anything anymore. The woman inside was helped out. Her belly looked very big, so she must be about to give birth.
Why did a pregnant woman have to come out? What if something really happens?
Why don't you go and try to persuade them?
[If I don't want to go, what reason can I give to persuade them? I don't want to end up pleasing neither side.]
That's true.
"Hello, sister." The woman who came out was gentle and kind, with a Lin Daiyu-like air about her.
"Hello...you..."
For some reason, I feel like the two of them have become more amicable. It's good that they're amicable; after all, they're both victims, deceived. Why should women make things difficult for each other? Women should unite and bring this scumbag to justice!
"My sister heard..." She was stopped before she could finish speaking.
"Sister, no, you'll strangle me." She didn't speak loudly, but everyone around her understood what she meant, except for the two people who had just arrived in the capital.
The people watching the scene whispered to her, and that's when the two of them realized what it meant.
Who in the entire capital doesn't know the name Ji Yingying, and she's also the eldest princess?
"Sister, let's talk this over. I don't want Lin Hu anymore, but I wonder if you still want him?"
"No, I took care of his parents in their old age and saw them off in their final days, and he actually..." He started crying before he could finish speaking.
"Then let's do as the Princess wishes and cut his hair. What do you think?"
Their plot was overheard by those nearby, but Ji Yingying was too far away to hear it.
"Okay, I agree."
"Sister, here's some silver. You can take the child to the inn first. I won't invite you into the mansion. When he returns, I'll send someone to invite him, and we'll pickle and slice him ourselves."
"Okay, no need for money, we have a place to stay."
"Alright, we'll pickle him and then make him compensate my sister." The woman had no intention of taking Lin Hu's paltry sum; her family had plenty of money, and as long as the child in her womb was born safely, their family line would continue.
[Xiangxiang, what are those two girls plotting?]
[They're plotting how to pickle Lin Hu. The head镖师's daughter is both brave and resourceful, and his first wife is quite something. This is the most satisfying thing I've seen here.]
[Women in the past were all love-struck; they'd be beaten to death by a man but wouldn't dare lay a finger on him. These two... I like them. They're bold and passionate. Host, you should get to know them when you have time.]
What's the point of befriending them?
[The imperial estate is unsuitable for farming, so the first wife can go farm there. As for the head镖师's daughter, have you forgotten? They're镖师 (bodyguards/escorts)...]
Without needing to be reminded, Ji Yingying understood what it meant.
[Xiangxiang, you're such a good person!] Ji Yingying was almost clapping.
Just as the first wife was about to leave, Lord Gongsun arrived, and Lin Hu also returned.
Lin Hu panicked when he saw the two women.
[This is Lin Hu? He's not even that good-looking. How could he do something like this, leaving his wife to be a maid and take care of the whole family while he's having affairs on the side?]
Sure enough, men are never big-hearted but have huge problems; they always use the same trick: outsourcing their filial piety.
[Host, watch the show, stop talking.]
"Men, hold him down and take him back." The head镖师's daughter immediately ordered her men to seize him.
"Madam, what are you doing?"
"What? Tell me, who is she? Don't tell me you don't know."
Lin Hu looked troubled. He pushed aside the guard and carefully tried to get closer to his wife, but she pushed him away.
"Don't come near me."
"Madam, I don't know her. How could I know a country girl?"
"Haha... You don't recognize me? I'm the one who took care of your father and mother in their old age and saw them off in their final days. I'm also the one who took care of your lame brother. Aren't you afraid of hurting your parents' feelings by saying you don't recognize me?"
"Let me tell you, I, Niu Er Ya, have a clear conscience before heaven and earth. As for you, watch out, your parents might come looking for you in the middle of the night."
"Ha... I knew it. So you didn't even want your parents. You abandoned them. No wonder I asked someone to find you and let you go back to see your parents one last time, but you refused. You're worse than an animal. You don't even want your parents."
"Well said! Go! Hit him! Hit his groin area! Blow him up!"
[Hey you, the head镖师's daughter, send your maids over! Pull his hair, tear his clothes, leave him barely clothed, humiliate him, make him regret it...]
[Beat him up! Left hook, right hook, hit him!]
[Host, you're so excited!]
[It's rare to see two clear-headed women like this. I love watching them take revenge on the scumbags! If one side were using their power to oppress the other while the other was being bullied, it wouldn't be interesting at all; it would be like watching a fictional story.]
[That's true. If it were a competition between females, I wouldn't want to watch it. It wouldn't be good to watch, and I'd feel embarrassed.]
[Okay, I don't understand your thought process.] But this is normal human thinking. These two don't have the idea that men are the most important, and they haven't been poisoned by feudal superstitions, which is really good.
Lin Hu was dumbfounded. The Princess was nearby, watching the show, and instantly understood what was going on between the two.
"Madam, I didn't. Don't listen to what they're saying. I'm single. And you, madam, I know you're being tactless, but you can't say such things in front of someone's door. It will cause misunderstandings."
Lin Hu still thought he could leave here safely today?
"Take it down..."
"Wait a minute." Lord Gongsun stopped him. He still wanted to take her away. Thanks to Ji Yingying, marriages are now strictly investigated.
"Sir, is something the matter?" The head镖师's daughter, being worldly-wise, protected the first wife and asked softly.
"This case of yours was arranged by the Princess. I am here to take the person away."
Upon hearing her own name, Ji Yingying stopped drinking water, her eyes widened, and she turned to look at them like a robot.
"What the hell? I arranged this, how come I didn't know?" After muttering to herself, Ji Yingying immediately came over.
"Lord Gongsun, I only asked Rong Yi to call you over. Don't nag me, I'm unreliable." Ji Yingying stretched out her index finger and shook it at him.
