Chapter 16: Father and son were played around by a woman
This incident was also relayed to the emperor in real time. The emperor was reviewing the memorials while listening to the retelling, and he was shocked.
"I really didn't expect that people outside could play so many tricks! The father of the wife of Marquis Changning seems to be Liu Hanlin, and her second brother seems to be working in the Hanlin Academy, right?"
Emperor Xuande also recalled the appearance of the two fathers and sons. Liu Hanlin is an old official, and the Liu family has been noble for generations. The father and son both look very upright, and people can tell at a glance that they are good officials.
Moreover, this family is also very rigid in being officials. Sometimes talking to them can really make people angry.
But I didn't expect that this little Liu Hanlin looks very honest, but his behavior is not honest at all.
"Sometimes people who look honest do things that are not honest at all. I don't know how the Liu family dealt with the concubine. One is a grandson and the other is a son. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's a mess, it's really too messy!"
Eunuch Li looked at the emperor's gossiping look, and his heart was numb.
Every day, he told the emperor what happened around Lin Mo like a storyteller. Now this has become a daily entertainment for the emperor.
In the Changning Marquis's Mansion, everyone was eating melons with relish. Lin Mo and the system cursed this scumbag with 800 different sentences. It was the first time for everyone to hear so many curse words.
System: [Host! It's so cool to curse with you! I also really understand what it means to swear! 】
Lin Mo said humbly: [No, no, I just know a little bit of swearing skills, and I am far behind the real swearing bosses. 】
The people who were brainwashed by their swearing: ...
Are you sure you only know the basics of swearing? If you are only good at it, then we are just children playing house!
But is there an idiom called "speaking dirty words"? Why don't they know this idiom?
The young man next to Lin Qi asked Lin Qi in a low voice: "Does your little sister often swear at you at home? I feel like she is very skilled at swearing."
Lin Qi: "...Your sister is the one who swears at you! My little sister is the most gentle!"
The young men around: ...Brother, your filter is a bit too deep.
Lin Mo was sitting alone in the pavilion eating and drinking,
and no one dared to come up and talk to her. Although everyone was curious about her, they were still cautious about interacting with her. After all, no one wanted their affairs to become gossip.
Lin Mo was also happy and comfortable alone. Not to mention, the things in the Changning Marquis's Mansion were exquisite, beautiful, and delicious. I wonder if I can pack a few to take back when the time comes.
The wife of the Changning Marquis and the daughter of the Changning Marquis had already left. Although they were the hosts, everyone could understand their current mood.
However, the Changning Marquis's son was still there. Although the son also wanted to follow his mother and sister to visit the Liu family, he couldn't hold a banquet without the host, so he was forced to stay.
The banquet was peaceful with people toasting each other, but privately, there was a turbulent atmosphere, and everyone turned into wild animals in a melon field.
The system was even particularly enthusiastic in relaying the Liu family's affairs to Lin Mo.
[The wife of the Marquis of Changning and the daughter of the Marquis of Changning seem to have caught evidence that Liu Xuan had a mistress, and are now rushing to the Liu Mansion.]
Even if you want to make trouble, you have to find a reason, so the wife of the Marquis of Changning immediately found a reason.
From the perspective of the system, it is to catch the clues and then settle the accounts first.
The master is a fool and the system is also a fool. The two of them can do nothing but eat melons and don't care about anything else, otherwise they might have discovered that their voices have been heard.
Lin Mo: [Hahahaha, hit him! Beat that scumbag to death! 】
Everyone was speechless. There was no need to be so cruel.
But everyone was still happy to hear the sequel of this gossip. They knew what the wife and daughter of the Marquis of Changning were going to do without thinking, and they could understand their feelings.
They were already emotionally stable as they did not explode on the spot.
At this moment, the Liu Mansion was in chaos.
"Aunt and cousin! I really don't know what you are talking about! How could I, an innocent person, have a concubine outside?"
Liu Xuan kept talking stubbornly, and the elders of the Liu family were also speaking for him. Their family has been upright for generations, and they are very strict in educating the younger generation. How could they let their children have a concubine outside?
The wife of Marquis Changning first tied the man over, and then slapped Liu Xuan in the face.
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. I have brought the witnesses here, and I have also brought the woman here. The servants in my house saw you often going in and out of an alley, so they followed you out of curiosity, and saw you enter the woman's yard, and the two of you started to be intimate before entering the house."
"And the two children of this woman call you daddy, this can't be a random call!"
Liu Xuan's face turned pale all of a sudden. He was always very cautious when he went to find Yao Niang. How come he didn't find that he was being followed.
"My dear, save me!"
Yao Niang knelt on the ground pitifully, crying like a pear blossom in the rain.
When Liu Xuan's father saw Yao Niang, his face also turned extremely ugly.
How could he not know that this woman was actually his son's mistress! She said she was a widow!
When Liu Hanlin saw what happened at home, he was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot.
"You idiot! Just tell me if you know the woman on the ground! Are the two children of this woman yours?"
On one side is his grandson and on the other side are his daughter and granddaughter, and they are both his flesh and blood!
Originally, they thought that they would strengthen the relationship between relatives, and they would definitely not treat their niece harshly after their granddaughter got married. Everything was fine, but they didn't expect that this idiot actually had a mistress outside and even had a child!
When Lady Changning Hou saw her father like this, she knew that he was pretending again.
"Dad, you don't have to be so angry. I know what you are thinking. You just want to put on a show in front of me and make a big thing small. I tell you very clearly that this matter will never be resolved easily."
"When I saw Liu Xuan entering and leaving this woman's yard, I asked people to keep an eye on him in advance. Guess who he saw later?" The wife of Marquis Changning fell in love with her second brother.
Second Uncle Liu avoided his sister's gaze, his eyes were panicked and filled with guilt.
Liu Hanlin looked at the look in his second son's eyes, and was so angry that he almost choked. He felt that he would faint on the spot in the next second.
The wife of Marquis Changning continued, "Dad, you are in good health, so you don't have to act here. This woman is not only hooking up with Liu Xuan, but also with my second brother. The father and son are related to the same woman. It's really a joke!"
The system described all the things about the Liu family in vivid detail. Not only did Lin Mo listen with relish, but everyone present listened with relish.
This banquet was really the right choice! Not only did I eat and drink well, but I also listened to such a good show!
