Wow, the news travels really fast!
I'm afraid all the maids in Fanghua Garden are spies for the old lady and the lady of the house.
Madam Xu looked at her daughter and was speechless. This was the good marriage she had chosen, crying and begging, instead of marrying into a prince's mansion. And this good husband's family that wouldn't turn back even after being beaten!
Xie Xiangxiang: Why is my mother looking at me?
Ms. Xu: I feel sorry for you!
Granny Wei: ......
Gu Chengyan and Xie Xiangxiang have not yet consummated their marriage, and Gu Yuebai is an illegitimate son. Both Madam Tu and the old lady are well aware of these matters.
Xie Xiangxiang is a fool, but the Xu family is not stupid.
The old lady quickly sent someone to invite Madam Xu over for a talk.
Madam Xu first thanked the old lady and Madam Tu for taking care of Xie Xiangxiang over the past six months, and then said that she wanted to take Xie Xiangxiang back to stay for a few days.
The old lady said, "My dear in-law, in principle I shouldn't stop you from taking her back, but it's the New Year, and relatives and friends are still visiting each other, and the affairs of the household cannot be left unattended."
Seeing the old lady's obstruction, Madam Xu smiled slightly and said, "Her younger sister has been named a concubine of the Crown Prince, by imperial decree of the Empress. She will enter the Crown Prince's residence next month. Xiangxiang is good at embroidery, and we wanted to ask her to help her sister. Since the Marquis's residence is unwilling..."
When Madam Xu used the imperial family as leverage, the old lady immediately relented and asked Madam Tu, "If you tighten your manpower, can you handle it?"
Madam Tu didn't care. Xie Xiangxiang was abandoned by the Xie family, so she was a useless pawn and not even as good as that woman outside.
But her younger sister became the Crown Prince's concubine, so who can say what will happen in the future?
“The affairs of the royal family are of utmost importance. The Crown Prince’s wife can rest assured and go help Miss Xie San.” Madam Tu immediately expressed her opinion.
Madam Xu did not stop, and left Ci'en Courtyard with Xie Xiangxiang and Granny Wei.
The carriage headed east towards the city.
"Mother, where are we going?"
"Go to the East City, there are many jewelry shops there, pick out a few pieces for your sister."
Xu walked ahead, followed by a carriage carrying Zhang Lan and five burly men from the Xie family.
Xu remained silent the entire way, closing her eyes to rest.
Xie Xiangxiang felt something was wrong, but Madam Xu ignored her.
No sooner had they left than a very common carriage emerged from a distant corner. The driver, wearing a dog-skin hat, turned and asked, "Sir, they've set off. Shall we follow?"
"Keep up, keep up, don't get spotted!" Lord Yu was very excited.
Yesterday, I had tea with some classmates. The topic of the Pingyang Marquis's mansion came up, and we talked about Gu Chengyan. He said that Gu Chengyan had raised a child with his mistress, and that the courtyard was located in a certain alley in the East City. He claimed that the money used to buy the courtyard and the teahouse was all taken from his wife's dowry.
This is outrageous! Lord Yu was immediately excited. This time, he was determined to catch them red-handed and make a great start!
However, his classmate repeatedly advised him not to attack Grand Secretary Gu, lest he get himself into trouble.
Lord Yu thought to himself, "Even if I wanted to get close to Grand Secretary Gu, I couldn't. That man is not only favored by His Majesty, but he's also damn incorruptible. Trying to bite him would only break my old teeth!"
Hey, hurry up and catch up!
Upon arriving at Dongcheng, Madam Xu instructed the coachman to take the carriage to an alley, where she told Duo'er to go down and knock on the door.
Xie Xiangxiang lifted the curtain and saw that this was a shop owned by the Xie family in the eastern part of the city.
As soon as they entered the backyard, the innkeeper quickly brought them hot water and snacks, and turned on the stove.
"Does Madam wish to inspect the accounts?"
The shopkeeper was puzzled. Yesterday was the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the God of Wealth's birthday, and the shop was open for business. It had only been open for one day, so why did the lady suddenly come to the door?
Ms. Xu said, "Don't be nervous, we won't check the accounts. You're in Dongcheng on business, just rest here for a bit."
The shopkeeper was finally relieved.
After a quick lunch at the shop, it was almost late afternoon when Xie Xiangxiang said, "Mother, is it too late to look at jewelry and clothes for Third Sister?"
"Take it easy and rest for a while," said Ms. Xu.
At dusk, Zhang Lan came to report: "Madam, everything is ready."
"Did you see it clearly?"
"Look carefully!"
Madam Xu said to the bewildered Granny Wei and Xie Xiangxiang, "Let's go!"
Xie Xiangxiang looked out the window at the sky. It was already dark. Where should she go?
Madam Xu didn't answer her, but stood up and walked out. Granny Wei vaguely felt that this matter was related to Gu Chengyan and that woman.
Madam Xu pulled Xie Xiangxiang into the carriage and told her not to speak.
Following the address given by Qu Yuning, Xu successfully located the courtyard where Guan Yingying lived.
Find a secluded spot and stop the carriage.
Xu whispered to Zhang Lan, "Go and keep an eye on things, make sure nothing goes wrong."
Zhang Lan was skilled in martial arts, which Xie Xiangxiang knew to some extent. The Xie family was a large clan with many capable people in their household.
"Mother……"
"Shut up!"
Xu and Xie Xiangxiang waited in the carriage for a long time. Just as Xie Xiangxiang was getting a little anxious, Zhang Lan returned.
"Madam, it's all done!"
Zhang Lan said that there were two maids, a coachman, and a servant in the courtyard, which were easy to deal with.
Mrs. Xu said to the gardeners and grooms, "Take your sticks and ropes, let's go!"
Xie Xiangxiang was still in a daze: "Mother..."
"Shut up! Keep up!"
Xie Xiangxiang felt uneasy. What was her mother doing?
Granny Wei had already guessed it; filled with resentment and agitation, she stomped her feet with extraordinary force.
The group quickly ran towards the courtyard. Zhang Lan had already secretly pulled open the latch, and the outer door was ajar.
Not only was Granny Wei shrewd, but she was also far better at physical labor than Madam Xu and Xie Xiangxiang. She rushed in with Zhang Lan.
Zhang Lan led his men straight to the master bedroom. He was a trained fighter, and with one kick, he opened the door to the main room. With another kick, he opened the bedroom door of Gu Chengyan and Guan Yingying.
Gu Chengyan and Guan Yingying never expected that the Xu family would suddenly arrive.
A large bulge appeared on the blanket on the bed, and veins bulged on Gu Chengyan's forehead. The two were exactly as Gu Yuebai had described—a pair of dogs in action.
Granny Wei and Zhang Lan rushed in, ripped off the blanket, and found the two people still connected.
...
Because she wanted to catch Xie Xiangxiang in the act, Xu was in a difficult situation because of her foolish daughter, but she did not run away.
They're shameless, and she's shameless too.
She didn't tell Xie Xiangxiang to hide, but held her tightly, turned her face up, and told her to look carefully, to take a good look at her impotent man.
This is the first time Xie Xiangxiang has ever seen a naked man in this life!
The first time I saw her husband, whom she had been married to for six months, was naked.
In her past life, she and Zhou Lingyin were husband and wife, and she had even been pregnant with his child. She was familiar with those things.
At that moment, looking at the intertwined man and woman, my mind went blank, and everything around me seemed to disappear.
The scene of our wedding night kept flashing through my mind—
As the red candle burned out, his eyes reddened. He took her hand, knelt down, and kissed it.
“My lady, I was bitten by a wild dog while on the spring hunt. I am no longer able to do this… If you regret this, you may divorce me.”
"What?"
"I...I'm injured. I can't..."
"What do you mean you've injured your body?"
"A stray dog bit me, bit me..."
"Your balls... got bitten by a dog?"
"..."
"Was it eaten by a dog?"
"It wasn't eaten, it went bad."
