Fang Ruotang, a small girl, walked at the front, while the main family, the Marquis Yongyi and his wife, followed behind her. She responded to Xiao Jingzi's words with a leisurely and carefree demeanor.
Okay! Tell me about it! Looking around, there are actually some unfamiliar faces.
Here's a little appetizer for you.
Lord Huang recently acquired a young woman from Yangzhou, whom he adores. Since bringing her into his household, she's stayed almost every night. In a few days, it'll likely be discovered she's pregnant.
Lord Huang, who was called out, was taken aback and felt somewhat embarrassed, but not much.
His colleagues even nudged his arm and teased, "Not bad! You're still got it! You can still have a big, healthy son at your age? Tell me, what's your secret?"
[A man taking a concubine? What a rare thing! Isn't this something that happens every day? Is there anything special about it?]
Fang Ruotang glanced at Lord Huang, who was in his forties or fifties, with a large belly. Moreover, whether due to excessive indulgence or the recent busyness of the court, he had two large bags under his eyes.
The person looked really bad.
Fang Ruotang glanced at him once and didn't want to look at him a second time. She had no interest in his romantic affairs whatsoever. She only liked watching handsome young men and beautiful young women talking about love.
[You don't know that this "skinny horse" is actually his daughter!]
【Uh-huh! 】
Fang Ruotang's eyes widened, and she suddenly turned around to stare at Lord Huang.
Lord Huang was also stunned and didn't react.
His colleagues, who had just been congratulating him, now took a step back in unison, which was... outrageous.
In matters of the heart, unconventional methods are acceptable, but unorthodox ones are not.
[It's true! Lord Huang was a lecherous and womanizing man who, in his youth, had taken many young women. He took one girl's virginity but didn't bring her into his household. The girl was forced to marry far away by her family. On the way, she discovered she was pregnant. Later, she gave birth, falsely claiming it was a premature birth. However, rumors circulated in her husband's family, and her life became difficult. Eventually, her husband became addicted to gambling and sold her and her daughter. The woman then harbored hatred for Lord Huang and instilled a great deal of resentment in her young daughter. Her daughter deliberately sold herself into the Huang household, hoping to avenge her mother, and even fed Lord Huang a slow-acting poison.]
Lord Huang's face was a mixture of pale and green.
He couldn't even remember which woman the little mirror was referring to. After all, he had had too many fleeting affairs with women, and this happened more than a decade ago. How could he possibly remember?
[This Lord Huang is a womanizer; he's really harming himself and others. But that woman must be crazy! What kind of ideas is she instilling in her daughter? Does that daughter even know that Lord Huang is her father?]
[I don't know. I always thought that Lord Huang caused her mother to fall into prostitution, and I even promised her mother before she died that I would definitely kill Lord Huang.]
[Tsk!]
Fang Ruotang twitched the corner of her mouth, realizing that people can actually laugh in anger when they're speechless. What kind of mess is this! It's true that she hates the scumbag and wants to get revenge on him, but her daughter is completely innocent, and her daughter didn't want to be born into her womb!
No! I can't hold back for even a second longer.
After Fang Ruotang finished speaking, she called Lord Huang over to her.
The little figure, with a somber face, stared blankly at Lord Huang. Lord Huang's legs buckled, and he knelt down, trembling as he said, "Grand Preceptor..."
Do you know why I called you that?
"...No, I don't know!"
Lord Huang was speechless; he couldn't very well say he knew!
Fang Ruotang gritted her teeth, wishing she could just take action. Suppressing her anger, she told him everything about sleeping with his daughter. Then she scolded, "Get rid of the child in her belly immediately, and send her out of the capital. If you have any conscience, leave her enough money to live on so she can live out the rest of her life in peace! Don't let me find out that you secretly took her life, otherwise, I will not let you go."
The "thin horse" (a term of endearment for a young, thin horse) is usually kept in the mansion.
Unable to leave the manor, she was practically never seen by anyone.
Apart from the initial matchmaker who introduced her to Lord Huang's residence.
"No one is allowed to look at her out of curiosity. If I find out that someone is trying to kill that woman, don't blame me for making sure you die too!" Fang Ruotang squinted and looked around.
She dared to say this now because she knew that everyone present was a high-ranking official or a nobleman. Even if she didn't say it, no one would be curious about what a skinny girl looked like or want to laugh at her.
Just like ordinary people, who would care about the love and hate of a swallow?
"Yes, yes, your humble servant understands!"
Lord Huang responded quickly, seemingly nervous and afraid, but he wasn't actually that affected by the fact that he had slept with his own daughter, because in his heart, he would never consider such a thing as his daughter.
[Keep an eye on Lord Huang. If he dares to disobey me and secretly kill me, I'll make sure he doesn't live either, and experiences what it's like to have your fate controlled by others.]
Lord Huang was about to cry.
He has already sensed it.
Although he had no fatherly affection for Xiaodie, and she had even poisoned him, he did not have any intention of killing her after the Imperial Advisor revealed her identity. Instead, he felt that it was good for the Imperial Advisor to send her far away and let her live a life of anonymity.
"Shall I return to my residence now to handle this matter?"
Lord Huang dared not leave directly and sought instructions from Fang Ruotang.
Fang Ruotang was impatient to see him, so she waved her hand casually. He immediately bowed and walked quickly toward the gate. Then a mother and daughter came out from the crowd and followed her in a hurry. They must be relatives of Lord Huang.
[Lord Huang's actions weren't intentional, but Lord Liu's family is something else! Look at Miss Liu, she's already seventeen, and although she's not married yet, she's pregnant. Can you guess whose child it is?]
The moment Xiao Jingzi said this, a commotion erupted.
Fang Ruotang looked up in surprise.
What happened?
I don't know!
Did the groom bring the bride back?
Fang Ruotang glanced at the entrance, but saw no sign of the newlyweds or the sound of a band. She looked around and saw that everyone had resumed talking to the people next to them, so she stopped being curious.
Whose is it?
Here's a hint: Miss Liu's baby is either her father's or her brother's. Choose one.
Fang Ruotang had a blank expression, and felt an urge to report it to the authorities.
[Haha, you'd never guess! No one in this world, except me, definitely doesn't know, not even Miss Liu herself. The three of them slept too close together! Let me tell you! The child in Miss Liu's belly is her father's! Surprised?]
Fang Ruotang felt a pang of sympathy; it was a bitter pill to swallow.
[Are you saying that Miss Liu slept with both her father and her brother? Perhaps even on the same day, which is why she doesn't know who the father of her child is?]
[What do you mean "same day"? It means "same time," "one bed," and "three people!"]
Fang Ruotang: ...
I'm even more eager to report this to the authorities!
