She moved towards the mistress, crying, "Mother, what are you talking about? Don't you want your daughter anymore?"
"No, you didn't come out of my belly. Your mother just had a casual affair with your father and got pregnant."
"Later, they sent you here, and your father gave her some money, and she went back happily."
"Don't you usually look down on those concubines? Little do you know that you are not even as good as those concubines, or even as good as the children born to concubines and mistresses."
"You're just the offspring of a single night of incest. I've put up with you for sixteen years, and yet you still can't teach me how to behave. You haven't changed your ways."
Listening to the mistress's insults word by word, Han Yilian felt like she was going crazy.
Qiu Yinong clapped her hands and stood up: "Wonderful, wonderful, I actually got to see such a wonderful show, but I don't have time to watch your family's scandals right now."
"Tell me, where did you take my third and fifth brothers?"
"My third brother is the top scorer in this exam, how dare you kidnap him?" Qiu Yinong's words shocked Mr. Han.
If he was just an ordinary scholar, it wouldn't matter, but the top scholar was something special.
Most of these people can become the top scholar.
If he wants to take revenge on his Han family in the future, ten Han families will not be enough.
"Rebellious girl, what have you done? Tell me, where is Mr. Jie Yuan?" Mr. Han was so angry that he almost fainted. He rushed to Han Yilian and slapped her again.
Han Yilian covered her face and looked at Han Yuanwai pitifully: "Dad, even you don't believe your daughter anymore?"
"Or, I, I am really just a bastard born by a country woman, Dad... But, I am innocent!"
"Why, why, why are you doing this to me!"
"Don't act crazy here."
"Tell me, did your daughter capture the Jie Yuan Gong?"
The mistress first scolded Han Yilian, then walked over to her personal maid and questioned her.
The personal maid fell to her knees with a thud: "Madam, the young lady has locked him up in the woodshed."
"Bitch, how dare you betray me!" Han Yilian was so angry that her face turned pale, but she had injured her leg and couldn't teach the maid a lesson.
Han Yuanwai quickly called out to the housekeeper: "Quick, bring Mr. Jie Yuan here."
The housekeeper responded quickly, and Guo Youcai came in personally with his men.
"Master, master, the county magistrate, the county magistrate is here..." The doorman limped over and reported in a panic.
Mr. Han was shocked and glared at Han Yilian fiercely.
He hurried over with his mistress and said, "Master Guo, what brings you here?"
"Mr. Han, you are quite brave." Guo Youcai looked at Mr. Han and spoke calmly.
Hearing this question, sweat instantly broke out on Mr. Han's forehead.
"Sir Guo, are you here for Mr. Jie Yuan?" Han Yuanwai's heart was filled with alarm. Could it be that this Mr. Jie Yuan was of great importance?
Guo Youcai walked into the hall with his hands behind his back and saw Han Yilian sitting there crying.
Han Yilian was also nervous at this moment. She was not sure why the county magistrate came here.
His mind was racing, and just as he was about to complain, he heard Guo Youcai speaking to Qiu Yinong in a very gentle voice.
"Yier, why didn't you inform your uncle when you came to Wen County? If this hadn't happened, would you have never come to see me?"
Guo Youcai had a reproachful look on his face, but his tone was very gentle.
"Uncle Guo, look at what you said. I was thinking of taking care of things and visiting you and aunt tomorrow."
Qiu Yinong walked forward happily, bowed and apologized.
Guo Youcai laughed, then turned to look at the Han family. Mr. Han's back was already soaked with sweat.
This plague god is actually the county magistrate's niece?
Han Yilian also sat there in a daze, muttering to herself, how could it be, how could she be the county magistrate's niece.
"Master Guo, it's all my fault. I've already sent for the Scholar Jie Yuan to come over."
"And this young lady, please don't vent your anger on our Han family. This rebellious girl is the only one who did this."
"She is not my daughter at all. Now that things have come to this, I will make it clear."
"I had no affair with that village woman back then. The reason I loved her so much over the years was because her father died trying to save me."
"The woman was already pregnant at the time, and I promised her that if she gave birth, she could give the child and claim it was mine."
"When the time comes, I'll give her some money so she can live in peace and marry someone else."
"Lian'er's grandmother said, if it's a boy, he should stay at home, but if it's a girl, she should give it to me to raise."
"That's why I've been pampering her all these years. I didn't expect that she wouldn't be able to teach me well at all."
"Now that she has made a big mistake, but has been engaged to the Gu family, everything still depends on the Gu family..."
"No need!" Gu Jingxu brought his men in, and the leader shouted loudly.
Everyone looked and saw that the person in the lead was the second master of the Gu family, also an elegant middle-aged man.
He glanced at Han Yilian, then said, "Since Miss Han is unwilling to marry me as a co-wife, I, Gu, will not force her."
"Let's call off this marriage. This is the Han family's token of trust. Please return my token. Since it hasn't been officially finalized yet, the previous agreement is null and void."
“Why?”
Han Yilian questioned sharply, although she didn't want to believe that she was not a daughter of the Han family.
But judging from Mr. Han's expression, he was not lying, he must be giving up on him.
If she can't catch Mr. Gu, it will be all over.
Mr. Gu looked at her, and Han Yilian cried and begged Mr. Han: "Dad, I beg you, after all, I have called you dad for sixteen years."
Seeing this, Mr. Han sighed and then looked at Mr. Gu.
"Second Master Gu, since my daughter is willing to marry you as your equal wife, can you please make some concessions on this matter?"
Master Gu hesitated for a moment, then put the token away. "But I just heard that she is not the Han family's biological daughter, so the position of co-wife cannot be given to her."
"!" Han Yilian clenched her hands tightly. If it weren't for this bitch, how could she be humiliated by the Gu family like this!
Han Yilian was so angry that she was shaking all over. It was all her fault, it was all that bitch's fault.
Why? She is pretty and is Mr. Guo’s niece. Why? Why am I not as good as her in everything?
"Master Gu, do you mean to give me a position?" Han Yuanwai asked cautiously.
Mr. Gu nodded, but did not try to offend the Han family too much.
"Just give her the status of a concubine!" After all, she was raised by the Han family, so she can't be humiliated too much.
Mr. Han breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately she was not a concubine or a maid.
"In that case, we'll make the reservation tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is a good day, so we'll send someone to pick you up."
After saying this, Mr. Gu glanced at Gu Jingxu and left with his servants.
Gu Jingxu walked up to Mr. Han and told him what happened in the silver shop today.
Mr. Han was so angry that he turned around and slapped her again.
