"Master, what happened?" Looking at the father and son with serious faces, Lou felt very nervous.
But what Tai Hesong said was related to Tai Jingwan. Could it be that Tai Jingwan encountered some trouble in the mansion?
Thinking of what her second daughter-in-law said about Luo Xinyue's thoughts, Lou frowned and thought, could it be that this bitch Luo Xinyue really hooked up with Gu Huaizhi?
Thinking of this, Lou frowned. She was also thinking, what if Gu Huaizhi really slapped their Tai family in the face like this?
She also didn't mind asking the Queen Mother to cancel the engagement.
"I have received news that the incident that scared Wan'er's horse that day was caused by Gu Huaizhi's men." Tai Hesong did not hide it from Lou. After all, as a father, there were some things that he could not tell his daughter.
"What? Gu Huaizhi, how dare she do that?" Lou said angrily.
"What is he afraid of? Hasn't he already done it?" Tai Hesong had never expected that his daughter would fall into the hands of such a scumbag.
"Master, you have wronged Wan'er enough. As for this marriage, why don't we go and ask the emperor to allow Wan'er to divorce." Lou said while wiping her tears with a distressed look.
"Dad, my sister can't get a divorce yet." Tai Yunche hurriedly stopped him.
...
...
"What? Are you afraid that your younger sister's divorce and return home will have a bad influence on you? Don't forget, if your younger sister hadn't returned home, you and your wife would have died long ago!" Lou was very angry when she heard that her eldest son was unwilling for her daughter to divorce and return home.
"Mom, look what this is?" Tai Yunche had no choice but to take out a peony hairpin from his arms.
"This...isn't this the thing we bought for Wan'er?" Lou looked at the peony hairpin in her hand and was very puzzled. Why did this thing fall into her son's hands?
Could it be that her daughter gave it to her?
"Mother, I found this hairpin by chance in a pawn shop when I was investigating a case. Mother, why would my sister's things appear in the pawn shop?" Tai Yunche said.
"Why?" Lou's heart sank. Normally, pawning the dowry meant that there was not enough money. However, the dowry silver that their Tai family gave to Tai Jingwan was 100,000 taels. Even if Tai Jingwan did nothing in the next three years, she would not be able to spend all the 100,000 taels of silver.
There is no need to pawn the dowry in exchange for silver.
"Go to the Gu family tomorrow and give Wan'er 12,000 taels of silver." When Tai Hesong heard this, he wondered if his daughter had spent all the silver and was now short of money, so she pawned her dowry?
"Master, I will go there in person tomorrow. But, Che'er, is this the only hairpin in the pawnshop?" Lou was worried that there might be other dowries of Tai Jingwan in the pawnshop, so she asked quickly.
"Mom, it's a good thing that the shopkeeper only said there was this one thing and didn't say there were other items." Tai Qingche said quickly.
However, speaking of this, Tai Qingche remembered what the shopkeeper said, that there were a few similar ones before, but they had already been redeemed.
"I'll ask Wan'er about this tomorrow." Lou's heart was in her throat. If it wasn't getting late, she would have wanted to go to Marquis Xuanping's mansion and ask Tai Jingwan for clarification.
Imperial Palace Cining Palace
"Empress Dowager, we have found out that there is indeed a cousin in the Marquis Xuanping's mansion. However, that cousin is now being raised on a farm." Eunuch Liu hurriedly said to the Empress Dowager.
"Why would you raise one on a farm for no reason?" The empress dowager had come through palace fighting before, so when she heard this, she thought there was something fishy going on.
"The Empress Dowager is very observant. The reason why that cousin is being kept on that farm is because she is pregnant. And Lord Gu wants to register the child under Miss Tai's name." Eunuch Liu said quickly.
"Ridiculous! A son of a concubine wants to be recorded as a legitimate son? Would Minister Tai agree with this?" The empress dowager thought, considering how much Tai Hesong doted on Tai Jingwan, he should not let such a thing happen.
"Empress Dowager, Marquis Gu plans to give the child to Miss Tai on the pretext that she has been childless for three years, and then use the Tai family's connections to pave the way for the child." Eunuch Liu was also very angry when he heard this.
Originally, it was not easy to tell whether these things were good or bad, but the maid of that cousin was not easily frightened.
Their people confessed everything before they did anything.
Eunuch Liu didn't know that Wei Xiuyuan had already threatened Qingye before their people went there.
Although Qingye is loyal to Tang Wan'er, he is also a coward.
Compared to Tang Wan'er, Qingye was more afraid of being killed by those people.
"That's a nice idea. Find someone to abort the concubine's pregnancy." The Queen Mother said without blinking.
In her opinion, Tang Wan'er was not even worthy of leaving a name in her mind.
To say that she is a concubine is already overestimating her.
"Empress Dowager, that Marquis Gu..." Eunuch Liu thought to himself, that Gu Huaizhi was not a good guy either. He actually schemed against Miss Tai like this. With the Empress Dowager's protective nature, she would surely not let Gu Huaizhi off easily.
"Keep it for now." The Queen Mother thought to herself that Tai Jingwan would have to come in person to deal with Gu Huaizhi.
After all, if Tai Jingwan can't stand on her own, no one can help her.
"The Empress Dowager is wise." Eunuch Liu quickly understood why the Empress Dowager did this.
"Rest early and ask someone to do this job well." After the Queen Mother said this, she lay down and stopped talking.
The next morning, a scream was heard from Yuehua Pavilion.
"You...you...you couple!" Jiang Jinyue pointed at the two naked people and cursed angrily.
"Mrs. Jiang, what's wrong?" When the servants heard Jiang Jinyue's cry, they all rushed into the room. Looking at Gu Huaizhi with a sullen face, they quickly turned around.
At this moment, the servants in the mansion all had the same question in their minds.
"Oh my god, the Marquis actually stayed in Yuehua Pavilion."
"Who is that woman? Why haven't I seen her before?"
"Sister Jiang, what happened?" Hearing the call, Tai Jingwan also hurried over.
"Sister Tai, I won't live anymore. The Marquis... The Marquis... How could he do this to me, wuwuwu..." After Jiang Jinyue finished speaking, she hugged Tai Jingwan and started crying.
"Don't worry, Sister Jiang. I guess the Marquis is busy on official business and has no time to come and see you." Tai Jingwan hurriedly comforted Jiang Jinyue, thinking to herself, didn't he say before that he hated him? How come in the blink of an eye, he's dying again?
"Sister Tai, why do I have such a miserable life? I was kind enough to entertain the sister of the Luo family, but she actually had an affair with the Marquis in our room. How much must she hate me!" Jiang Jinyue seemed to think that this was not enough, and sat on the ground and burst into tears again.
[Oh, I’m crying like this, right? No one noticed, I was just pretending, right? Humph, scumbag Gu, look how good I am to you and even gave you such a big gift. 】
