Chapter 252 I don’t know whether he is cold or hot
Bu Ruo snorted lightly, looking at her as if she were a fool: "The body I gave to your son was indeed innocent, but it's no longer innocent after I gave it to you."
Lady Enguo was unable to react for a moment: "Wh...what do you mean?"
In the end, it was the impatient wife of the Marquis of Chang'an who cleared her up: "What it means is that after she slept with your son, she slept with another man! Idiot!"
Seeing that Lady Enguo didn't believe her, Bu Ruo pointed at the bracelet on the concubine's wrist and said, "This isn't the county lady's dowry, nor was it bought by your idiot prince. It must be a token of love given by your mistress."
"Judging from his appearance, that man doesn't look wealthy. Hmm... let me take a closer look. He's not from Kyoto. He always wears washed-out blue clothes. He has a fair complexion, peach-shaped eyes, and is short. Even in the middle of winter, he's fanning himself with a folding fan. I don't know if he's cold or hot."
Lady Enguo didn't believe it at first, but after hearing Bu Ruo's words, her face became even gloomier. After Bu Ruo finished speaking, she turned around and slapped the concubine hard.
"Didn't you tell me you were done with him? Why are you still in touch?"
"Tell me honestly, is what the Princess Regent said true? Is that child really born to you and that poor boy?"
The wife of the Marquis of Chang'an was a trustworthy person. Knowing Buruo's temperament, she slowly approached him: "Haha, Princess..."
Bu Ruo chuckled and looked at her: "Since the Duke of En's Mansion has been thrown into such trouble, there is nothing that cannot be said. Since everyone wants to hear it so much, then this princess will speak."
"The wife of the Duke of Enguo didn't come from a prominent family; she was just the daughter of a local county magistrate. After marrying the Duke of Enguo, she stayed in her hometown and lived a decent life. She originally wanted to marry her distant niece to her son so that the wealth wouldn't go to outsiders, but the Duke of Enguo's mansion was empty, so she ended up tricking Xiang Yuan, the daughter of a wealthy businessman, into marrying her."
"The niece of the Duke of Enguo actually had a lover when she was still a girl. Although he was good-looking, his family was poor and they were eventually separated. But that was only on the surface; they still had a secret relationship."
"After Xiang Yuan married, he used his dowry to support the entire Enguo Mansion. This made the wife of the Duke of Enguo start to make her own calculations. She felt that the child who would inherit the Duke of Enguo must come from her own family."
"And just like that, that distant niece, persuaded by Lady Enguo, became the concubine of that good-for-nothing prince."
"But what Lady Enguo didn't know was that even if she didn't persuade her distant niece, she would still find a way to make her a concubine, just to... let her child with her lover inherit the Duke of Enguo Mansion in the future, and then kill everyone in the Duke of Enguo Mansion and then secretly attack Chencang."
"But they didn't expect Xiang Yuan to find out about all this and decide to divorce, taking all the dowry with him. This completely thwarted the plans of those with ulterior motives on both sides."
"So, I don't know what to say about them. Are they smart or stupid? I'm really confused."
The ladies were amazed when they heard Bu Ruo's sarcastic words. They thought that the home of a noble family like theirs was already chaotic enough, but they didn't expect that a not-so-remarkable Duke En's Mansion could be so chaotic.
In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that the Duke of En's Mansion has no foundation. In recent years, it has been living a life of idleness and waiting for death, and no one has entered the government or joined the army. If a family with shallow roots does not work hard, it will eventually decline. Moreover, they have chosen the wrong path.
Lady Enguo pointed at the concubine, trembling, and asked, "Is what the Regent Princess said true? The grandson I've cherished for years...isn't really my son's biological son?"
Seeing that the concubine lowered her head in fear and didn't speak, Lady Enguo sat on the ground and started slapping her thigh like a shrew.
"Oh my! This life is so unbearable. I can't live like this anymore. You bitch actually lied to me for so many years and made me break the heart of my good daughter-in-law. I... I... I can't live anymore."
"Yuan'er, Yuan'er, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. In the past few years that we've lived together, you've been respectful and filial to me, and you've taken great care of me. I'm sorry for you. I was possessed by a demon for a moment and did something that chilled your heart."
"Mother is wrong. I will kick this concubine out when she returns. You can come back with the child and continue to live a good life as a family. Mother will never dare to have such evil thoughts again."
"Ouch... This is really going to kill me, Yuan'er. If you don't agree to me today, I... I will die right here."
Bu Ruo had already asked the palace maid to call the two remaining idiots from the Duke of Enguo's mansion over. When they arrived, she happened to see the wife of the Duke of Enguo sitting on the ground and making a scene.
"What are you doing? How can a lady like you sit on the ground? Guangyuan, hurry up and help your mother up. You are really bringing shame to the Duke of En's mansion."
The ladies present looked at the father and son and thought to themselves: Shame? You have already disgraced the Duke of Enguo's Mansion, are you afraid of losing it again now?
Hmm... But I'd better throw it a few more times. After all, there hasn't been this kind of melon to eat in Kyoto for a long time.
Fang Guangyuan's face turned pale as he went over and forcibly pulled the person up from the ground, saying in a dissatisfied tone, "Mother, what are you doing? All the prominent families in Kyoto are here for today's palace banquet. You should at least have some respect for your dignity. It's unbecoming to make such a scene in the Imperial Garden."
As he spoke, he bowed to the ladies present and said, "My mother has been in a bad mood due to recent family events, and some of her words and actions may have been rude. I hope all the ladies and young ladies will forgive me."
The wife of Duke Enguo stood up and pointed at the concubine and said viciously, "Face, what face do you still need? The reputation of our Duke Enguo Mansion has long been disgraced by you two, and you still think I am disgraced."
"Let's not even talk about the good things your father did, I'll just talk about you, you idiot, you didn't even know your son wasn't your biological son. Did I lose my brain when I gave birth to you? How can you be so stupid!"
Fang Guangyuan's face turned ugly when he was scolded in front of so many people: "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? What are you talking about not being my biological child? There are so many people here, please stop making a fuss. The palace banquet is about to begin. I will help you to rest for a while."
"I'm not making a fuss!" Lady Enguo broke free from the prince's hand, went up to grab the concubine's hair and dragged her over.
"You don't know yet, right? Your son is not your biological son at all. He is the son of her and that poor guy from her hometown. They want their son to inherit the Duke of Enguo's mansion so that they can take over the throne."
Fang Guangyuan didn't believe it, so he rescued his mistress from his mother and protected her behind him: "Who told you this nonsense? I know whether my son is mine or not. If I let this prince know who is spreading rumors, I will tear her mouth apart."
