Lord Zhou jumped off the carriage shakily, then ran frantically to the alleyway and squeezed through the crowd.
When he saw the scene before him, he was so shocked that he couldn't put into words.
this……
"You filthy bitch, how dare you steal my man? If I don't beat you to death today, how can I ever stand in Guangjiang City?"
The woman pulled up her sleeve and frantically tore at the brightly dressed woman in front of her.
In no time, the woman's clothes were torn to shreds.
"Ah! Help! Master, where are you? I'm being beaten to death! Waaah..."
Lord Zhou stood in the crowd, his forehead beaded with sweat from fright.
One was his father-in-law's family, which he had helped get promoted, and the other was the woman he loved most.
"Help? I'll see who comes to your rescue today!"
"You slut, how dare you climb into Master's bed while I'm giving birth? Are you itching down there?"
"You look like a peacock, which brothel do you work at?"
As the woman spoke, she pulled the woman's hair and pressed her hard against the ground.
The maids nearby also joined in the fight, tearing at each other.
"Smack!"
"I'll beat you to death, you bitch! I'll make you my mistress, my mistress!"
Xuan Yue Kingdom is not a conservative country. As long as a man and woman are engaged before marriage, no one will say anything about it.
But there is one thing you absolutely must not keep a mistress.
“Madam Zhou, such vile women should be drowned in the pond to prevent them from harming people.”
"That's right. Women of my Xuan Yue Kingdom can be wives, concubines, or bed warmers, but they can never be mistresses."
"This mistress is a prostitute, to put it nicely; she's a whore, to put it bluntly. Today she can ruin your family, and tomorrow she might ruin ours."
"Yeah, yeah, tear her apart!"
The women present were the most unable to accept this. After being fanned into a rage, they took out the vegetables and eggs they had just bought and threw them at the woman.
Madam Zhou immediately shook off the woman, patted her clothes, and stood to the side, panting heavily.
"Abi Aguo, teach this arrogant and ignorant wretch a lesson!"
The two men curtsied and said, "Yes, Madam."
"stop--"
A shout interrupted the two maids, and everyone turned to look.
When the woman saw Lord Zhou arrive, she ran crying into his arms and sobbed uncontrollably.
"Master, you've finally arrived."
"Waaah, if you don't come soon, I'll have to say goodbye to you forever."
Master Zhou lovingly stroked the beauty in his arms and said with heartache, "Rou'er, don't cry, I'm here, you don't have to be afraid anymore."
"Um."
Lord Zhou pushed aside the woman named Rou'er, walked to Madam Zhou's side, and said in a heavy voice, "Madam, how could you be so cruel?"
Madam Zhou's chest heaved with anger as she forced herself to speak;
"Should I go all out?"
"If I were really going to be ruthless, I would have sent them all straight to a brothel. Why would I leave her standing here?!"
"She seduced my husband, corrupted the morals of Guangjiang City, and had impure intentions. I was merely eliminating a scourge!"
Lord Zhou looked at the pointing and whispering crowd around him and said in a low voice, "Madam, let's talk about this when we get back."
"I won't!" Madam Zhou shook off Lord Zhou's hand and said angrily, "When you were keeping a mistress, did you ever talk to me properly about it?"
"Madam, I have no choice. Rou'er was born with a tragic fate. If I don't keep her, she might try to kill herself."
Madam Zhou looked at the woman hiding behind her husband, weeping with tears streaming down her face. The fleeting glint of malice in her eyes did not escape Madam Zhou's notice.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and turned her head to stare intently at her husband.
"I had no idea you had the heart to take in respectable women? Since you know she has a hard life, you should have told her to live her life well. How dare you bring her home? Do you think the feng shui of your house is too good, or that your ancestors were living too well in the afterlife?"
"She has hands and feet; if she didn't want to die, there are a million ways to live. If she wanted to die, she would have died long ago. Why would she let you meet her?"
Madam Zhou straightened up, pushed Lord Zhou aside, walked directly to Jiang Rou's side, and ignoring Lord Zhou's obstruction, raised her hand and slapped the woman hard across the face.
"Smack!"
"Ah!" Jiang Rou covered her face, looking up at her. "Why have you attacked me time and time again?"
"Just because you spent my money!" Madam Zhou's heart sank to the bottom.
She never imagined that her husband, who once said he would only love her for the rest of his life and who gave up all his concubines for her, would one day secretly keep a mistress behind her back.
It turns out that while she was giving birth, he was having an affair with a vixen.
"Everything you wear and eat is part of my dowry. Tell me, do I not have the right to it?"
Then, her gaze fell on the pearl earring on the woman's earlobe, and she reached out and ripped it off.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
"These earrings were custom-made by someone I had someone make. There was only one pair in the entire Xuan Yue Kingdom. I searched for them for a long time, but I never expected to find them on a slut like you?"
"That's mine!" Jiang Rou argued vehemently.
These pearl earrings are made of the finest pearls and are quite valuable.
She originally intended to pawn it directly, but the pawnshop told her it could be bought back for one hundred taels.
Upon hearing how valuable it was, she immediately refused to sell it. She only wore it today because the master said he was coming over.
"your?"
Madam Zhou looked at the guilty-looking Lord Zhou and said, "You tell me, whose is this?"
