As the night deepened, it began to rain outside.
Xie Family Hall.
Gu Qingyuan knelt on the ground, her face pale and her whole body trembling.
A group of people who were having a lot of fun playing the game of pitching pots were called to the hall.
"What's the matter that called everyone together so late at night?"
"According to the servant, something serious has happened. It doesn't seem very glorious."
"Go, go faster."
Xie Qingyao's eyelashes drooped slightly, and the scene finally began.
Greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant, and some people will eventually reap what they sow.
When everyone arrived, they could see that Gu Qingyuan looked haggard, and the middle-aged man in gray clothes next to her also looked unhappy.
He never expected that when he entered the bathroom reserved for men in the mansion, he would be attacked by a young girl.
She was as fierce as a wolf and as hungry as a tiger, making even a man feel ashamed of himself.
Old Madam Xie sat in the first seat, holding her forehead with one hand, and asked the nanny to explain the whole story, completely tearing off Gu Qingyuan's fig leaf.
Everyone present was stunned.
Gu Qingyuan sent the guard away, escaped from the small Buddhist temple, ran to Yunjinxiangtang, and threw herself into the arms of the guest in the mansion.
This middle-aged man was Xie Linqian’s friend, Mr. Chen, who was forty-five years old and a widower.
Mr. Chen's first four wives had all died, so he had a reputation for being a wife-killer. No family was willing to marry their daughter to him, not even his second wife, as saving his own life was more important.
Mr. Chen is in his middle age and is in need of someone who understands him and Gu Qingyuan happened to come across him.
This is really like someone giving you a pillow when you are sleepy.
Master Chen sighed softly, "Don't worry, young lady. I am not such an irresponsible person. I will be responsible for you. If you are willing, I would like to take you in as a concubine in the mansion."
If Gu Qingyuan were to be his second wife, his nine children would certainly not be willing. Gu Qingyuan is younger than his youngest son. How could she be the mistress of the family?
Besides, the two of them were connected because of such a scandal, and Master Chen was also uncomfortable with it, so it was impossible for him to let Gu Qingyuan be his second wife.
Being a concubine is not too unfair to her.
"Concubine?! You want me to be your concubine?!" Gu Qingyuan was shocked and her eyes were bloodshot.
She clenched her fists and looked at Master Chen with shame, anger and resentment.
Why did things turn out like this?
It was completely different from what she expected.
The person Gu Qingyuan wants to plot against is Xie Yuchuan. She wants Xie Yuchuan to force her to marry her, and she wants him to treat her as his legal wife with a grand sedan chair carried by eight people to welcome her into the house!
Who allowed him to see her body, have physical contact with her, and ruin her innocence?
No matter how much she asks, it's not too much!
But unfortunately, the person who came was not Xie Yuchuan, but Chen Lei, who was much older than her father.
When she found out that the person was not Xie Yuchuan, Gu Qingyuan almost fainted. All she could think about was that it was all over, it was all over. She was completely finished.
Now, hearing that Mr. Chen wanted to take her as a concubine, Gu Qingyuan felt even more humiliated.
Concubine? She was the daughter of the Gu family, a lady from a prominent family, but in the end she was just a concubine?
joke.
What a joke!
Gu Qingyuan gnashed her teeth and said, "I will not be your concubine. I would rather die."
After saying that, she burst into tears.
"This..." Master Chen choked.
At this moment, a gloom covered Xie Yuchuan's bright face.
Not only him, but all the members of the Xie family looked very bad.
Everyone knew that Gu Qingyuan went to Yunjinxiangtang to plot against someone. Usually, Xie Yuchuan would go there to bathe at that time.
It's just that today, he happened to have something to do and didn't go.
Because Xie Yuchuan was called by Xie Qingyao to play tossing pots, he couldn't get away at all, and he escaped the disaster by chance.
But is it really just a coincidence?
Xie Yuchuan looked at Xie Qingyao who was not far away. Under the warm yellow candlelight, Xie Qingyao's beautiful face looked calm and composed.
She also looked at Xie Yuchuan, narrowed her eyes, and smiled faintly.
Everything is implied.
Xie Yuchuan understood.
My cousin Qingyao is indeed very smart and kind-hearted.
Outside the door, Xifeng was holding a small plate of melon seeds and watching with great interest. When he saw Shuangyue coming, he generously grabbed a handful of melon seeds and shared them with her.
He whispered, "The Marquis and his wife are on the same page. Before he left, the Marquis asked me to keep an eye on Gu Qingyuan and be prepared for any unexpected events."
"I found you when I went to keep an eye on someone. Madam also told you to watch Gu Qingyuan. Since Madam has taken action, there is definitely nothing for me to do."
"The Marquis and his wife are really..."
Xifeng paused and signaled to Shuangyue with his eyes.
Shuangyue curled her lips in disdain, but still responded, "We're on the same page."
"Hehe." Xi Feng laughed happily twice.
Shuangyue kept staring at Gu Qingyuan. As expected, this woman was restless.
Seeing Gu Qingyuan fooling the maid and sending the old woman away, she slipped out of the small Buddhist hall and went to the men's bathroom.
Shuangyue was thoughtful and asked around. She found out that it was Xie Yuchuan who usually used the bathhouse. She immediately went to report to her wife.
Xie Qingyao told her not to make it public and not to alert the enemy. Since Gu Qingyuan wanted to get married so much, then she should help her.
It just so happened that a guest came to visit today and stayed at the mansion.
One wants to get married, and the other is a widower who just needs a wife, so they are a good match.
As for whether Gu Qingyuan is willing or not, that is not a consideration.
If you want to touch the people around her, you will have to pay the price.
Shuangyue reminded Mr. Chen as instructed that the Yunjinxiangtang bath in the mansion was very good and he could go and experience it.
What happened next is what we are experiencing now.
Mr. Chen wanted to take a concubine, but Gu Qingyuan refused no matter what.
When Mrs. Xie thought of her plan, she felt a chill in her heart and completely lost her patience.
