He poured the most effort into the hot spring valley, from the beginning to now. It was like raising a beautiful and dignified daughter, only to have her filth and corruption turned into a den of iniquity.
How could he not be furious!
The male guests in the valley were displeased, but after glancing at the old women and maids in the distance, they held back.
They brought their wives with them today, so we have to be a little more considerate.
Hua Ruyue and the others seemed to have had their veils torn off.
Red-light district? Are they treating them like prostitutes?
Hua Ruyue's face turned cold, and she said directly, "Fine, then we'll pay for it. We want to soak in the hot springs. We'll be the guests, right? But when the Marquis returns, you'll probably have a hard time explaining yourselves."
Unfortunately, Li Lao Er shook his head again, "Thank you for your patronage, Master Hua, but all the wooden houses and courtyards in our valley are booked out for the next half month. Please come back in half a month, Master Hua!"
Having said that, he glanced at the troupe and added, "Furthermore, the female guests in the valley are all from respectable families, accompanied by their husbands or children. If the troupe leader does not have a father or brothers accompanying him, please do not come. In case the troupe leader and his party act impolitely and damage the reputation of our valley, causing the female guests to be afraid to come again, I'm afraid the troupe leader will not be able to compensate us for the loss!"
"You...you're being insolent! We are also innocent young women, respectable ladies, what right do you have to look down on us!"
Hua Ruyue was completely humiliated; this was practically an insult directed at them!
Li Lao Er showed no remorse whatsoever, and continued loudly, "Master Hua, whether you are innocent or not, we don't know, and we don't want to know. We only know that no innocent woman would dress so provocatively, nor would she be so eager to sing and dance for the men who are bathing!"
"Of course, that's your business, it's none of our concern. But this is our territory, and we don't welcome you! You'd better leave now, or you'll lose all face. You've already ruined your reputation before even entering Xindu, and you'll definitely regret cutting off your own source of income!"
Hua Ruyue gritted her teeth in hatred. She glanced at Li Laosi standing not far away and, under the guise of wiping away her tears, gave the woman beside her a wink.
The woman subconsciously touched her aching stomach, but still took two steps forward, tears welling up in her eyes, and looked at Li Laosi. "Brother Li, we have a history, how can you bear to watch us be bullied like this? We are a group of weak women, treated like this, sob sob, how are we supposed to live?"
Romance?
Li Laosi was terrified, his face flushed red, and he frantically waved his hands, "What nonsense are you talking about! I've barely even spoken a few words to you, what kind of bullshit romance could we have!"
"Brother Li, when you were carrying me in the woods, you said you liked me, but you had to come back to tell me because of your wife at home."
The woman cried even more pitifully, looking like she had been seduced and then abandoned. She also touched her stomach from time to time, making people more and more believe that she had something with Li Laosi, or even... that she was pregnant.
Tao Hongying naturally trusted her husband, but when others made a scene in front of her, she couldn't control her temper.
Hua Ruyue stepped forward at the opportune moment and said to Old Lady Li in a low voice, "Auntie, if this matter continues to escalate, it will be bad for your family's reputation. Why don't you come into the village first and talk things over properly? There's bound to be a solution."
A hint of smugness lingered in her eyes, assuming that the Li family would surely back down for the sake of their reputation.
To everyone's surprise, Old Lady Li was not intimidated at all. She immediately asked, "Is Dr. Zhang here? Please clear my fourth son's name!"
Doctor Zhang emerged from the crowd, looking rather lazy. He yawned and greeted them, "You're here. You can't even slack off while watching the show. You really can't live without me."
As he spoke, he grabbed the woman's wrist and began to take her pulse.
The woman was startled and tried to pull her hand back, but she couldn't budge it at all.
Soon, Doctor Zhang returned, frowning, and said, "You woman, you've been taking contraceptive soup for several years, haven't you? Your body is ruined; you can't conceive in the future. Furthermore, your venereal disease is quite severe. You should find someone to treat it quickly, otherwise, whoever you seduce will be in trouble!"
Flower or willow disease?
The crowd was so shocked that their faces changed, and they retreated rapidly like a tidal wave, leaving the group of women standing there.
The woman's face turned deathly pale, and she screamed, "You...you've ruined my reputation! I'll..."
"What do you want?" Doctor Zhang scoffed. "I advise you to get treatment quickly, or you won't live more than two years."
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving the woman frightened and angry. Just as she was about to say something, Tao Hongying couldn't hold back any longer.
Such a filthy thing, how could it come out to disgust people, and even try to sleep with her husband? It's simply unbearable.
A surge of anger welled up inside her. She strode forward, grabbed the woman's hair, and began slapping her repeatedly, yelling, "I'll teach you to talk nonsense! I'll teach you to steal my husband! I'll teach you to throw mud at me!"
The woman was stunned by the beating and tried to struggle, but she couldn't escape Tao Hongying's big slap at all!
"Master, help me! Quickly pull her away!"
Hua Ruyue and the others were also frightened. Just as they came to their senses and were about to go forward to help, Aunt Wu rushed up and kicked Hua Ruyue to the ground, then straddled her and pulled her hair.
"A bunch of shameless sluts! We're not going to lower ourselves to your level, do you think we're afraid of you? You call yourselves a song and dance troupe? You're just a bunch of prostitutes. You think you're something special? Stop pretending to be virtuous women!"
Having said that, she called out to the village women, "What are you all looking at? Get them! Throw them out! If these vixens come into the village and lure the men away, no one will have peace and quiet!"
After saying that, she punched Hua Ruyue's chest twice more.
Sister-in-law Sun, Sister-in-law Liu, and other women and old women all joined in the brawl, rolling up their sleeves and rushing forward.
Hua Ruyue and the others were skilled at seducing men and singing and dancing, so they were no match for these village women.
What's more, these village women had even fought alongside the men to kill wolves!
In the blink of an eye, the once glamorous song and dance troupe, from the troupe leader to the young girls, were all reduced to bald chickens, their hair torn apart, their faces bruised and swollen, and they fled crying for their parents.
Tao Hongying and the others were still not satisfied, so they chased after them and threw stones at them, scaring Hua Ruyue and the others so much that they tumbled and crawled away.
Elegance and gentleness are useless now; all they want right now is to have two more legs!
It wasn't until they had run quite a distance that Old Lady Li finally spoke up, "Alright, that's enough chasing them away. Stop hitting them, or you'll hurt your hands."
These words reminded the women, and they all went to find water to wash their hands.
Doctor Zhang said that these women are extremely filthy, so don't infect them with any filthy diseases.
As they washed their hands, they glanced sideways at the male guests inside the gate.
The male guests immediately shrank back and hurried into the valley.
These women are even more terrifying than the tigresses in the house!
The old women and maids who had come to watch the commotion naturally went back and told their mistresses in detail what had happened.
