Chapter 199: Offend Anyone, But Not the Eunuch
Although the Shan Guogong Mansion is wealthy and powerful, 100,000 taels of silver is indeed just a drop in the bucket for them.
But asking Feng to kowtow and confess her guilt would undoubtedly be a slap in the face of her family, and she would lose all her dignity and face.
Duke Shan's Mansion even raised the price to two hundred thousand taels of silver, just hoping that Chu Ruohan would show mercy and let Feng go.
However, Gu Junze was firm in his attitude and refused to give in at all.
He knew very well that if he did not take this opportunity to completely suppress their arrogance, similar incidents would surely continue to occur in the future.
It also lets the world know that he will protect his wife and that no one can touch her just because they want to...
If it were at the beginning, Feng would naturally be unwilling to kowtow and admit her guilt.
But she had been kneeling outside the mansion for too long, fainting and waking up again and again, and her legs had long lost all feeling.
She knew in her heart that if she continued like this, she would probably become completely disabled.
"I was wrong, I was really wrong..." Feng's voice was hoarse and trembling, and she admitted her mistake crying.
"I was possessed by a demon and plotted to destroy the innocence of the wife of the Marquis of Anyang."
She gritted her teeth, and with a "bang", she pressed her forehead tightly against the ground. Her voice was crying, almost begging.
"Madam, Prince, I was blinded by greed and made a serious mistake. Please forgive me this time."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people watching around were immediately in an uproar.
In the crowd, an old lady was filled with anger. She spat on the ground and cursed loudly.
"What a vicious woman! She said before that the maid led her the wrong way, but I didn't expect that she was deliberately doing it. She is so vicious!"
As he said that, he grabbed a handful of vegetable leaves from the basket and threw them towards Feng. The leaves hit Feng squarely on the head.
"That's right, people like this should be punished!"
"He looks like a decent person on weekdays, but I didn't expect him to do such a wicked thing!"
For a moment, shouts and spitting were heard one after another, and vegetable leaves and rotten fruits were thrown at Feng.
Feng could only hold her head, curl up on the ground, and allow herself to be humiliated by everyone.
Ma Fuhai stood aside, watching Feng's miserable state. The old Lord Feng had beaten his people, so he should take it back from her granddaughter...
In this way, Feng suffered under the humiliation of everyone.
She couldn't help but break down and cry. She was the darling of Duke Shan's mansion, how could she have fallen to the point where she was despised by everyone?
Finally, Ma Fuhai had had enough of this "good show". He yawned and waved his hand impatiently.
"Okay, stop standing there and carry the person away."
The servants of Duke Shan's mansion then stepped forward cautiously.
It took a lot of effort to lift up Feng's body, which was as limp as mud and whose legs could not be straightened, and hurriedly left this place full of humiliation and contempt.
Chu Ruohan listened to the servant's report, but she did not feel happy at all.
She was full of worries about Gu Junze going to Dongying. Dongying was the territory of Feng's army. Feng had suffered such a great humiliation, so how could she let Gu Junze go?
That evening, Marquis Anyang sent a message asking Gu Junze to report to Dongying the next day to take up the position of centurion.
After Chu Ruohan heard the news, she couldn't sleep all night.
The next day, the morning light
Chu Ruohan was dressed in plain clothes and stood at the door of the mansion. Her eyes followed Gu Junze's figure closely, watching him jump onto the horse nimbly.
Gu Junze was dressed in a dark suit, his figure was tall and straight, as if he wanted to blend into the early morning sunlight.
He leaned over slightly and kissed Chu Ruohan's forehead on horseback.
"Han'er, don't worry, just wait for me to come back."
Chu Ruohan raised her head, stared into his eyes, and nodded, "Be careful."
The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away until it disappeared at the end of the street. Only then did Chu Ruohan slowly withdrew her gaze.
She sighed softly, turned around and said to Yingqing beside her: "Yingqing, your wedding date with Yueshu is coming soon. Let's go buy some things and go to the Chu family."
Ying Qing bowed slightly, "Yes."
Chu Ruohan got on the carriage and the wheels rolled slowly.
As she expected, soon after the carriage left, the gatehouse servant hurried over to inform the police.
In addition to Ying Qing, Gu Junze left her five shadow guards to protect her secretly.
He took two of them away, and the other three stayed in Hongmeng Academy.
Chu Ruohan took a carriage and went to the Treasure Pavilion first. When she came out, she was carrying a lot of bags in her hands.
Then, the carriage arrived at Jinxiuxuan.
Chu Ruohan walked into the store and first walked around the store as if nothing had happened, looking around casually.
Then he went upstairs, where a woman who looked very similar to Chu Ruohan was already waiting there.
Chu Ruohan nodded, and the two quickly exchanged clothes...
In the blink of an eye, Chu Ruohan had changed into ordinary women's clothes, left through the back door, and boarded another carriage that had been waiting there.
Yuling helped the woman dressed as Chu Ruohan onto the original carriage and drove towards the Chu family.
Chu Ruohan sat in the new carriage with a calm expression. She had originally planned to go to the farm outside Beijing with Qin Fang after attending the Spring Banquet, but she hadn't expected to delay it until now...
The key witnesses she found in the previous times were all killed first, so she had to go through so much trouble.
The carriage swayed on the winding dirt road for more than an hour before arriving at Zhuangzi.
Chu Ruohan raised her hand to open the car curtain, and the veil covering her face obscured her features.
Although Qin Fang had cleaned up the people in the village before, no one could guarantee whether the spies from Anyang Marquis' Mansion were still hiding there.
Wearing a veil can also prevent people from recognizing you and causing you trouble.
Chu Ruohan first inspected the farm.
The farmers working in the fields looked at the distinguished guest with curiosity when they saw him.
After a round of inspection, Chu Ruohan found a shady place to sit down and asked the head of the village a few simple questions about the harvest and personnel management of the village.
The village head answered respectfully...
Seeing that the time was almost right, Chu Ruohan sat up slightly and asked, "I heard that there are old men from the palace in this manor?"
Zhuangtou was slightly startled and replied, "Indeed, there is, but the person has gone crazy."
Hearing this, Chu Ruohan frowned slightly, "I want to see him."
The village head looked embarrassed and stammered, "Madam, that man is crazy and I'm afraid he offended you..."
Chu Ruohan gently waved her hand, her tone unquestionable: "No problem, since I'm here, I must meet him. Just lead the way."
The village head had no choice but to lead the way.
A remote hut with its door half-open, from which muffled shouting could be heard from time to time.
The head of the village stopped at the door, looked back at Chu Ruohan, and indicated to her that the crazy woman was inside.
Chu Ruohan took a deep breath, raised her hand and gently opened the door...
