Chapter 494 Mrs. Fang catches her husband in the act of adultery
Startled by Madam Fang's sudden intrusion, Young Master Tang immediately grabbed Miss Fang and angrily rebuked her, "Why have you broken into my room in the middle of the night!"
His brows were furrowed, making no attempt to hide his anger towards the other woman.
Madam Fang, abandoning her usual gentle demeanor, strode into the room with a stern expression, supported by her maid. "Tell me why I barged in! You, as the grandson-in-law of the Fang family, have actually been having an affair with another woman in our Fang residence!"
Young Master Tang gripped Miss Cousin's shoulders, holding her tightly in his arms. "What adultery? My wife is gone now, what's wrong with me marrying someone else?!"
Madam Fang was so angry that her hands trembled. She pointed at him and said fiercely, "The news of my granddaughter's death has not been out for a day, and you are already fooling around with other women. Isn't this adultery!"
Young Master Tang snorted coldly and said, "My wife has passed away, can't I find someone new? Am I supposed to remain a widow for your Fang family?"
Madam Fang was surprised by Tang's stubbornness. Her eyes turned cold. "You are so heartless. You didn't even go to see your wife's remains after she passed away. Instead, you were here having fun with your new wife."
Young Master Tang lowered his eyes. At this moment, it was unclear whether he was truly guilty about Miss Fang's death. He held the person in his arms tightly on the shoulders and said in a gentler tone, "Madam Fang, I have never been ruthless towards Fang Xiaoyue. There's no need for me to be too explicit. Release my cousin today. If you want to hold me accountable in the future, then hold me accountable."
Miss Cousin held his hand tightly, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at him, "Cousin..."
Young Master Tang lowered his head and looked at her with deep affection. Their eyes met, and they looked like a pair of star-crossed lovers.
Miss Fang's granddaughter has become a joke.
Madam Fang was so angry that her teeth chattered. "If you didn't like my Xiaoyue, why did you marry her in the first place?"
The eldest son of the Tang family coldly uttered a few words, "I cannot disobey my father's orders."
"So this is what they mean by 'disobeying one's father's orders'!" Madam Fang shouted, slamming her hand heavily on the table beside her. "Since that's the case, then can we return all of the Fang family's dowry?"
Upon hearing that the dowry had to be returned, Young Master Tang's arrogance diminished considerably.
The young lady in his arms revealed two cunning eyes and said, "Madam Fang, now that Miss Sun is dead, the dowry naturally belongs to the Tang family. How can it be returned?"
That makes sense. If Fang Xiaoyue really dies in childbirth, she will still belong to the Tang family, and her dowry will belong to the eldest son of the Tang family. However, if the two divorce, Fang Xiaoyue can get her dowry back in full.
Young Master Tang had considered all of this before deciding to end Fang Xiaoyue's life.
Madam Fang saw through their true colors and stopped pretending. She suppressed her anger and slowly said, "What if my Yue'er hadn't died?"
Young Master Tang was shocked and asked with wide eyes, "What do you mean by that?"
Madam Fang sneered, "If my Yue'er hadn't died, and you and Miss Fang were having an affair in the manor, that would be adultery, and you two should both be drowned in a pig cage!"
"As for the dowry, this divorce agreement should be enough, right?"
After she finished speaking, she turned around, took the divorce papers from the maid, and threw them heavily at Young Master Tang's face.
Young Master Tang stood there, stunned.
Miss Biao hurriedly picked up the divorce papers from the ground, exclaiming in panic, "You're saying Fang Xiaoyue is still alive? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Madam Fang took two steps forward, her voice laced with sarcasm, "Why is it impossible? Tell me, why should my perfectly healthy granddaughter die in childbirth?!"
Clutching the divorce papers, Miss Biao bit her lip and said, "How would I know why? Wasn't it you who spread the news of Miss Sun's death? What does it have to do with us?"
Madam Fang said slowly, "It was indeed us who spread the news of the death, otherwise how could the two of you have given yourselves away?"
At that moment, Young Master Tang instantly understood that this was a trap set for him by the Fang family.
However, he did not believe that Fang Xiaoyue was not dead. No one in the world could cure the poison he had given her, unless a great immortal pulled her back from the underworld!
"Madam Fang, you said Yue'er is not dead. May I go to see her? She is my wife, and she is carrying my child."
Young Master Tang asked tentatively.
Madam Fang knew what he meant and refused, saying, "My Yue'er has just given birth and is still weak. Your visit will only bring her bad luck. But don't worry, we are not lying to you. Yue'er is indeed not dead."
As she spoke, she ordered the servants inside the house, "Someone, lock these two in the woodshed in the backyard."
Young Master Tang and Miss Tang shouted in unison, "How dare you! What right do you have to imprison us!"
Madam Fang turned her head and said, "Adultery is a serious crime. If we don't lock you up, do you think we'll serve you well?"
Young Master Tang stood up, intending to defend himself.
Madam Fang turned around again, "Grandson-in-law, the people in my household don't know their own strength. If you insist on fighting, don't blame me for breaking your legs."
Young Master Tang refused to believe it and said sternly, "I want to go back to the capital! I want to tell my father about this!"
Madam Fang waved her sleeve and shouted, "Don't even think about it!"
Her roar was a culmination of her anger towards this beast, and she wished she could kill him right now.
Young Master Tang looked around, then grabbed Miss Biao and tried to run away.
However, Madam Fang had already ordered the area to be completely surrounded, so even if they had wings, they would have no chance of escaping.
With Miss Biao's shrill scream, Young Master Tang's right leg was broken by a single blow.
The sounds of pain and crying came from inside the house.
Madam Fang, with a sullen face and without even frowning, slowly turned and left.
All that remained were their painful cries.
