Chapter 22: Caught in adultery
Shen Qi exhaled a breath of turbid air and raised his head, "Thinking about something, why didn't you sleep?"
"I have to go inspect the shops tomorrow morning. I was going to sleep, but I came to look for you when I saw you weren't home yet." Liang held Chen Qi's arm, and the latter visibly stiffened.
He then pulled his arm away and helped her walk back, "Send the servants. The rain will not stop tonight. You are already old, and the road will be slippery tomorrow. Don't go out."
Liang's face showed a touching smile, "My husband is thinking about me, but I still have to take good care of the shops that my mother gave me."
Chen Qi lowered his eyes to look at the road, nodded and said nothing.
"There are two shops on Main Street. Mother seems to want to give them to my sister."
"You like it?"
"My sister will have to take care of Second Master Xie's family business and manage the treasury in the future. I'm afraid she won't have the energy." Shen Qi is a waste. Even the treasury can be taken away by Shen Shurong. What's the use of him as a man?
The anger in Chen Qi's heart gradually turned into bitterness. He was really blind. He didn't even notice that the person next to him had such a plan.
"Sister is also my family, don't worry, mother won't treat you unfairly."
"I know, but I'm a little envious of my sister. When we got married, the dowry was pitifully small. It's all my fault. My biological mother died early."
She has said this more than once, and every time I hear it, I feel more pity for her.
Only then did he realize that every word she said had a purpose, and he immediately lost the desire to deal with her. "You go back first. I have something else to do in the study. I'll talk to mom about the shop. If you like it, I'll keep it for you."
Liang immediately smiled like a flower, "Thank you, husband. Go to bed early. I'll go back first."
Chen Qi waved her hand and turned around, the pain in her heart bursting out wildly. She came here in the rain just for the shop, not for him at all!
The next day, Shen Qi went to the Princess's Mansion, and Liang also left the mansion in a carriage.
In a private room of a teahouse, the sound of kissing was heard, like a long-awaited rain after a long drought, inseparable.
The man next door clenched his fists. Wasn't he good enough for her?
She didn't deserve it in the first place, but he fought for her!
Shen Shurong pried open his brother's hands and shook his head, saying it was not worth it.
Just as I was about to step out, I heard a voice from next door, "She's going to give birth in two months, right?"
"Well, it would be nice if it's a boy."
"I'm so powerful, it must be a boy. All the family property will be ours in the end."
"Keep your voice down, oh, be gentle, bad guy, um~"
Shen Shurong was stunned. The child in Liang's belly...
Chen Qi slumped in the chair. How could a person be so shameless?
Shen Shurong didn’t expect that his nephew in his previous life… looked like Liang, and no one thought it was wrong…
This is really too much!
What did she and her brother do wrong to be treated like this by these people?
Looking at the devastated Chen Qi, after getting over this hurdle, his brother is still the proud prince of the Prince's Mansion and the eldest grandson of the eldest princess!
Shen Shurong couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he quietly walked out the door to give him space.
Chen Shurong waved, and Mother Hua and Mother Tian came over, "Seal the teahouse and close it for a day."
"yes."
When Chen Qi and Liang got married, the princess gave this teahouse to Liang. Liang would come here on the 15th of every month, and no guests were allowed to enter the left or right private rooms.
But she never expected that today, Shen Shurong and Shen Qi were next door.
She and the man named Duan liked each other since they were young. Unfortunately, the Duan family fell into poverty, and her stepmother's younger sister came to snatch her away. Under pressure, the two were forced to separate.
Now that the Duan family has achieved fame and success, they are bolder than before, especially those who miss Liang.
The two kissed passionately, Liang's clothes were already open, and the man's hand was wandering on her chest.
Bang--
There was a sound of kicking the door, and the man pushed away Liang, who was sitting on his lap.
Liang couldn't keep her balance with her bulging belly and fell to the ground.
When they saw who was coming, they became very panicked.
Liang ignored the pain in her stomach, her pupils widened with fear, she supported herself on the ground with her hands, and moved her butt backwards, "It's not what you see."
Young prince, princess, why are you here?
The man was already kneeling, liquid was flowing out of his crotch, and Shen Shurong pinched his nose.
Signaled Fu Xi and Fu Shun to go in and tie up the man.
Chen Qi had been calm for a long time. When he looked at Liang, there was no emotion in his eyes, only a sneer, "Not like that? You want to say that you didn't have an affair, right?"
Liang nodded frantically.
"Would you like to see your collar?"
Liang suddenly lowered her head and raised her hands to tighten them, "Husband, I was forced. I was resting here, and he rushed in..."
"No, she asked me to come. She said you are incompetent and gave all the treasury to the female princess." The man surnamed Duan was quite smart and did not forget to divert the conflict.
Chen Qi didn't waste any words. He took the long whip from Hua Mama's hand and whipped Duan hard.
"Who are you to dare to question the decision of the Princess's Mansion?"
"Ah!" Liang was so scared that she covered her head and screamed. She had never seen Shen Qi so cruel.
The man named Duan screamed in pain with his teeth grimacing.
Mother Tian asked Chen Shurong to leave, but Chen Shurong asked her to bring a chair and sit down to enjoy the show.
Anyone who has wronged them will have to pay the price tenfold or a hundredfold!
The adulterer was lashed with countless whips and he lay curled up on the ground, unconscious.
Liang had been having stomachache for a long time, but her nervousness blocked it and she only noticed it at this moment.
She covered her belly with her hands, and when she looked up again, she looked aggrieved and pitiful, "Husband, our child, for the sake of the child..."
"Shut up!" Shen Qi wanted to stab that evildoer with a knife!
Liang was frightened by his eyes, "Husband, my stomach feels uncomfortable."
"Uncomfortable?" Chen Qi smiled. It was the first time in two days that he truly smiled. "Great, that's great."
"Come here, my lady has a stomachache, take her back to the mansion and call the imperial physician!"
Liang didn't think he would know that the child was not his. As long as the child was there, she would be fine.
Duan's clothes were torn into countless pieces, and the low-key gray robe had turned bloody. He was thrown in front of the Duan family's door like a dead dog.
Chen Shurong followed to the Prince's Mansion. Liang's legs had already started bleeding. Chen Qi's eyes were cold, "Imperial Doctor, save the emperor!"
When Liang fainted, she was still thinking of using her son to regain her husband's favor, but she didn't know that the child had never seen any light at all.
The Princess had Liang's yard cordoned off and only sent two maids to watch over it. All the servants in the yard were taken away and tortured, especially those who brought with her as dowry.
Shen Qi didn't want to see Liang again, so Shen Shurong took him to Zhuangzi and forgot about it when he was busy.
Chen Qi didn't understand, what was there to do in Zhuangzi.
Chen Shurong's thoughts went back to his previous life. The man Xie Yunzheng brought back made a very powerful gunpowder and defeated all the pirates.
But now, she found this person four years in advance. Maybe there won't be immediate results, but it's good to be able to prevent him from falling into Xie Yunzheng's hands.
Bai Sanzhu's parents, two brothers, sister-in-law and two nephews, a family of eight, were all brought to this secluded farm, and no one knew what to do.
