Marquis Xuanping said with a stern face, "Are you asking for a beating?"
Marquis Xuanping got up to get a feather duster, and Lu Cheng turned around and ran away quickly.
Lu Cheng finished asking the question and that was it. Marquis Xuanping didn't take it seriously either. However, neither the father nor the son expected that Lu Cheng's question was overheard by a maid standing nearby, who then secretly told the Marquis Xuanping's wife.
Lady Xuanping felt that her son's question was not casual; he must have discovered that the Marquis of Xuanping was keeping a mistress and had an illegitimate child, and that's why he was so angry that he shed tears.
When Marquis Xuanping returned to his residence in the evening, his wife said with red eyes, "I am not a jealous person, why did you hide it from me, Marquis?"
Marquis Xuanping was completely bewildered. "What have I been hiding from my wife?"
Lady Xuanping, heartbroken, said, "Bring your mistress and illegitimate child into the manor."
Marquis Xuanping frowned deeply. "Where did I get a mistress and an illegitimate child?"
"Cheng'er has already discovered it, and you still won't admit it?" Lady Xuanping said angrily.
"..."
Marquis Xuanping was so angry he almost had a heart attack. "How could I have given birth to such a wretched child? When this wretch returns, I'll beat him to death!"
Marquis Xuanping carefully coaxed his wife, even resorting to swearing oaths.
Lady Xuanping was still skeptical. When Lu Cheng returned to the manor, she asked him how he knew that the Marquis of Xuanping was keeping a mistress. Lu Cheng replied, "No way, my father really is keeping a mistress?"
Marquis Xuanping nearly died of anger, and said, "Your mother asked you where you got that information from?!"
Lu Cheng then repeated Xu Ji's words.
Marquis Xuanping was so angry that his vision blurred. "Someone asked you a question, and you suspect your father of having a mistress?!"
Lu Cheng said, "Xu Ji certainly didn't ask us casually."
"Could it be that his father, Minister Xu, was keeping a mistress?!" Marquis Xuanping roared.
"..."
Lu Cheng hadn't considered this possibility. He said, "How could the Minister of Justice, such an upright person, possibly keep a mistress?"
Um.
His own son would rather believe that someone else's father wouldn't keep a mistress than believe that his own father would.
Marquis Xuanping's anger surged to the top of his head, and he grabbed a feather duster and started hitting him.
No one can stop it.
In the end, it was only after Lady Xuanping clutched her stomach and pretended to have miscarriage that Marquis Xuanping stopped.
Lu Cheng was badly beaten. The next day, when he went to the city patrol office, he found that the Prince of Yanping and Tang Ze had also been beaten like him.
Brothers in misfortune.
Tang Ze endured the pain in his buttocks and carefully sat down, instructing the constable, "Go to the Ministry of Justice and tell Young Master Xu that if he still has a conscience, let him come and visit us."
