Chapter 435: I felt the pain when the dirty water came back on me
"Everyone, please judge for yourself. Which mother would leave her child under one year old in broad daylight to meet a man secretly? Which mother would do that?"
As the man spoke, he took a half step back as if he could not stand steadily, and pressed his hand on his chest as if he could not breathe.
"Oh, I never realized that this woman looks so young, but she is such a fickle person..."
"You can't judge a person by his appearance, but by his heart. If her husband hadn't seen it, who knows what would have happened inside."
After hearing these voices, Wu Luan beat his chest and stamped his feet, looking so pitiful.
Wow, even Ran Qingxuan was impressed by this man’s acting skills.
It was the first time that Gu Yanchen had seen a man so shameless. He wanted to drive him away directly, but doing so would be telling others that they did have problems.
Ran Qingxuan was hitting Chen Xu's face, so he couldn't make any rebuttal for the time being.
Duan Yi's position was blocked by a curtain, so the man shouting outside had no idea that there was another person inside.
In addition to the classmates brought by Wu Luan, most of the guests were attracted by the words "catching an adulterer" soon.
The guard who was originally protecting Duan Yi had just gone downstairs. After seeing through the hollow corridor that the incident took place in his master's room, he suddenly became anxious.
But at this moment the stairs and corridors were crowded with people. He was blocked downstairs by those onlookers and couldn't go up. He could only worry anxiously.
Wu Luan, a villain who thought he could control the situation with just a few words, was already very happy in his heart.
Qian Liang and the man standing next to him looked at each other and both curled their lips in disdain.
Others didn't know what he was thinking, but several of his classmates knew very well why he was holding on to his wife so tightly even after divorcing her.
When Wu Luan was drinking with them, he mentioned in front of them more than once that Chen Xu brought 58 sets of dowry to his house when she got married, which did not include 100 acres of fertile land and 50 taels of gold.
According to Wu Luan himself, these fertile fields and fifty taels of gold were rewards bestowed by Emperor Mingde himself because Chen Xu's father had saved the grain that was about to be harvested in Quanzhou.
But the rewards were not limited to these. In addition to those left for Chen's son, Chen Cheng'an left good land and fifty taels of gold for each of his two daughters as a dowry.
Wu Luan will take part in the Autumn Examination next year. He had originally been counting on Chen Xu to give him money to help him build connections and pave the way for him. He didn't expect that all his efforts in one night would be in vain. How could he accept this?
Qian Liang and others all knew that the Wu family was not a prominent family, and Wu's father was just a manager under Chen Cheng'an.
The reason why the Chen family married their daughter to Wu Luan was because Wu Luan proposed marriage immediately after he passed the imperial examination. Chen's father felt that he had a chance to pass the imperial examination, so he agreed to their marriage.
When Ran Qingxuan saw that the people outside were leaning towards one side, he sneered in his heart.
very good!
Since he wants to act, she, 'Chen Xu', will act with him to her heart's content today!
He looked at Gu Yanchen, signaling him not to be impulsive, but he didn't expect that such a look would have another meaning in Wu Luan's eyes.
"Look, look, in front of so many people, she was actually flirting with her adulterer. This is simply... simply..."
"Just what?"
Ran Qingxuan walked forward leisurely, picked up the teapot on the table and smashed it at Wu Luan's feet.
After the bang, everyone who was talking fell silent.
They didn't expect that this woman who was "having a secret meeting with someone" would be so fierce.
"Bah, you hypocritical villain, you actually slandered me with empty words, and you people, you followed this person to criticize him without knowing the whole truth, it's ridiculous!"
As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief and half covered his face, and the corners of his eyes quickly became wet.
Ran Qingxuan didn't dare to go too far outside. After all, the makeup on her face wouldn't be noticed in the dimly lit room.
Those people outside who still wanted to watch the fun looked at each other, and some were unhappy with Ran Qingxuan's words and spoke up.
"How can you slander me like this? I told your husband that you ran into me but you still refused to admit it. You really have no shame."
"You... who said he was my husband?"
"Ah?" There was a burst of exclamations from the crowd, and then the eyes looking at Wu Luan changed.
Before Wu Luan could open his mouth to argue, Ran Qingxuan spoke in a tearful voice.
"Something happened in my family a month and a half ago. He was afraid that it would affect his career, so he wrote a divorce letter overnight and kicked me and my one-year-old daughter out of the house in the snow...
It was so cold, I was kicked out without even a decent piece of clothing, and I could only sleep in someone's stable with my child for the night..."
Ran Qingxuan was speaking with tears in his eyes. He looked at Wu Luan outside without making a sound. He saw that Wu Luan's face was pale, as if he did not expect that 'Chen Xu' in front of him would suddenly fight back.
"A month and a half ago? Are you Chen Xu, the eldest daughter of Master Chen?"
An elderly woman struggled to squeeze in from the crowd, and upon closer inspection it turned out to be Chen Xu.
"Finally I found you. My lady has been looking for you for more than half a month. Why are you here?"
"Wait a minute, I'll go call my lady over."
Ran Qingxuan was a little stunned, because she didn't expect to meet an acquaintance of 'Chen Xu' in this teahouse.
The old woman left and the crowd immediately began to talk.
"So she is the eldest daughter of the Chen family. Wasn't the Chen family raided?"
"Yes, it was copied a month and a half ago."
The two men standing in front looked at Wu Luan with disdain after they finished speaking.
"Even if the family is raided, married women will not be implicated. The actions of her ex-husband's family really prove that saying."
"What?" someone echoed.
"Husband and wife are birds of the same forest...How does the second half of the sentence go?"
"When disaster strikes, everyone runs for their own way!" A woman's voice took over, and the people gathered together immediately made way for them.
"It's Miss Duan, please make way."
Ran Qingxuan heard it carefully, and his beating heart suddenly calmed down.
"Sister Chen?"
Duan Ling walked to the door and excitedly called out to Chen Xu, but the next second she showed a puzzled expression.
Ran Qingxuan thought that the two seemed to be very familiar with each other, so he immediately realized that she was not the Chen Xu he knew.
Without thinking too much, Ran Qingxuan walked forward crying, pulled the person into the house, and went straight to the inner room.
Duan Ling had clearly sensed that the person pulling her was not Chen Xu. When she was about to open her mouth to scold him, she looked up and saw Duan Yi huddled in the corner.
"cousin?"
"Shh, come here." Duan Yi waved at her, and Duan Ling hurried forward in confusion.
To outsiders, it seemed that Ran Qingxuan was too aggrieved, so he dragged people to the inner room to complain. Seeing this, the voices outside accusing Wu Luan became louder.
"Logically, there should be no relationship between the two of them after the divorce, so why does Mr. Wu keep calling her Madam?"
"Did you hear wrongly?"
