"You...why are you..." He stuttered in shock.
Gu Rui was sitting by the bed. When he saw him come in, he quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, your subject...your subject..."
After hesitating for a long time, he still couldn't say anything.
He had just slipped in during the chaos, and didn't know Chu Youyang had come, let alone that Chu Youyang would come in.
Chu Youyang glared at him, "Explain to me, you have been out for a long time, why don't you return to Beijing?"
Gu Rui couldn't explain it even more.
"Do you believe that I will chop off your head?!" Chu Youyang roared.
In fact, Gu Rui didn't quite believe it. Chu Youyang's expression was too frivolous. The key point was that he looked happy, and even if he was glaring, he didn't look very angry.
Chu Youyang's roar did not scare Gu Rui, but instead woke up Empress Dowager Mei.
When Empress Dowager Mei opened her eyes, she saw two more men in the room, and she was so scared that she almost fainted again.
"It's okay, it's just a dream, a dream." Gu Rui waved his hand in front of her eyes, his voice as gentle as water.
Perhaps she was too tired, lost too much blood, or was too frightened, Empress Dowager Mei fell asleep again.
Chu Youyang got angry again, "Someone! Take him away and lock him up!"
No one could help him in this matter. Cheng Shi's words were of course not going to work, and Su Bei was already tired and went to rest, so who let him sneak in?
Fortunately, although they lost a lot of blood, the mother and daughter were safe and sound.
After being disturbed by Su'er, Yue Xian returned to his concubine's house in fear. Because he was still in shock, he did not dare to go through the main door, but quietly climbed over the wall from the backyard.
It was already very late and there were not many people in the yard. He quietly slipped into the main room and found no one serving him.
Just as I was about to scold the maid for being ignorant and lazy, I suddenly heard a burst of laughter coming from the room.
There are not only women's, but also men's.
What was going on?! The young lady who had been with him for several years cheated on him?! Yue Xian was immediately furious.
He pushed open the bedroom door and saw two pairs of shoes on the floor and a couple on the bed. He immediately felt murderous.
The people on the bed heard the noise and looked over. The woman got under the quilt in panic, while the man asked, "Dad, why are you here?"
"Why am I here! Why am I here!" Yue Xian shouted angrily while picking up the shoes on the ground and hitting Yue Hongcai.
Qiuyue was a young widow, so she didn't mind having other men, but Shuangshuang was still a young girl when she was with him, how could she do such an immoral thing? !
The most important thing is that Yue Hongcai, that bastard. It's fine if he didn't know Qiuyue was related to Yue Xian, but Shuangshuang almost gave him a brother, so he didn't know that either? ! Yue Hongcai dodged and shouted, "Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! If you were coming, you should have told me earlier! How would I know you were coming if you didn't tell me!"
Wow! He's right? This isn't the first time I've heard him say that!
Yue Xian hit him even harder.
Yue Hongcai was so angry after being beaten that he held Yue Xian's wrist and said, "I told you that you have done it. Be careful or I will tell my mother!"
"You bastard! How dare you threaten me!" Yue Xian roared.
The noise attracted people, and the maids and servants peeked in from outside.
Yue Hongcai stiffened his neck and said confidently: "Don't you see how old you are? Can Shuangshuang really be sincere to you? I am just trying her out for you! You see, my mother treats you the best!"
Shuangshuang, who was curled up on the bed, was unhappy. "Mr. Yue, how could you do this? Didn't you say you would marry me?"
Yue Hongcai kept winking at her. How could she say these things at such a critical moment? She must be stupid, right?
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Yue Xian became even angrier. His health was originally better than Yue Hongcai's, and with his anger, the strength of his hand was enough to block the shot.
Yue Hongcai was quickly knocked down. He was still humming at first, but later he stopped humming.
Yue Xian was panicked. Could he have been beaten to death by him?
"Call a doctor! Call a doctor quickly!" he shouted hurriedly.
The maids rushed forward to lift him up, but Yue Hongcai didn't move.
Before the doctor came in, the sound of footsteps was heard and Zhao Qiucui ran in.
When Zhao Qiucui saw Yue Hongcai lying motionless on the bed, she became furious and slapped Yue Xian twice without saying a word.
"Yue Xian, are you tired of living? How dare you beat my son like this?!"
Following Zhao Qiucui's roar, Yue Hongcai cunningly opened his eyes, "Mom! He almost beat me to death!"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, mother is here!" Zhao Qiucui rushed to the bed and touched Yue Hongcai's head.
What a picture of deep love between mother and son. Yue Xian felt that his role was to give birth to children and make money. He originally thought that a rough person like Zhao Qiucui would admire him to the point of being utterly defeated, but who knew that it was not the case.
Failure! But it’s not over yet.
When Zhao Qiucui heard that Yue Hongcai came to find Shuangshuang, she got angry.
"She is still living here? Who owns this yard?!" Zhao Qiucui roared.
Yue Hongcai said proudly: "It belongs to my father! Shuangshuang told me everything!"
"Where is the land deed?" Zhao Qiucui stared at Yue Xian.
"The title deed is in the drawer of Shuangshuang's dressing table!" Yue Hongcai answered quickly.
Shuangshuang was thrown out of the door crying.
Zhao Qiucui took away not only the land deed, but also the banknotes and jewelry that Shuangshuang had saved. In the end, Shuangshuang had followed Yue Xian for several years in vain.
Yue Hongcai has already been involved with her, so Yue Xian doesn't want her anymore!
After driving Shuangshuang away, Zhao Qiucui was still furious, "Yue Xian! Hurry up and find a family with an unmarried girl to arrange a marriage for Hongcai..."
"Mom!" Yue Hongcai pulled her sleeve and acted coquettishly, "I'm going to marry Qiuyue!"
"She is a widow..."
"I want her!"
Zhao Qiucui doted on Yue Hongcai to the extreme. Now seeing her son with a bruised face and nose, she felt so heartbroken that she almost died and simply didn't care about anything else.
"Forget it, forget it. Since you like her, let's go with her! I'll go propose marriage to her in the next two days!"
Yue Xian was almost going crazy. Not only did this mother and daughter treat him like air, they also wanted to marry Qiuyue home. What should he do in the future when he would see her everywhere?
However, what he is most worried about at the moment is not this matter, but the fact that he sold his official position.
He sent a letter to his former contacts, but they just replied with a fake and righteous letter, accusing him of improper conduct, as if he had never sold anything before.
Just as he was worried, Chu Youyang sent someone to contact him.
It didn't matter who he bought from, so he took the risk and went to Chu Youyang.
Su'er ran to capture Chu Youyang. This matter must be related to the Jingnan Palace. The Jingnan Prince is so close to the Regent, so he is likely to deal with him.
He felt aggrieved and terrified that night, and kept thinking about giving him a quick death, whether by killing or cutting him up.
But who would have thought that after three days of panic, he didn't see any movement from the Jingnan Palace.
Could it be that... this matter is over? Yue Xian's mood gradually relaxed.
But when he got home at night, he was immediately confused.
