Chapter 119 He's a bad guy, isn't he?
Whether influenced by Lian Qianli or not, Hua Wanli described the whole matter in great detail and with great specificity.
Anyone who didn't know better would think that Hua Wanli herself was one of the parties involved.
Shangguan Jin and Madam Shen listened with great interest.
So that's how it is!
After the Mei family's house was raided that day, the entire family, including the gatekeeper, were detained.
The only thing missing was Vice Minister Mei's three daughters.
The twins born to Madam Mei and a concubine's daughter.
Therefore, everyone was guessing that Duke Anguo's side had probably taken the people away and settled them in advance.
But who could have known that the person would be taken away?
However, it was indeed like jumping from one fire pit to another.
Originally, after their home was confiscated, these three young women were supposed to be sent to the brothel.
They were later picked up, and the three of them thought they had escaped a disaster.
Who could have known that what awaited them was still a pit of fire?
The twins were taken away by the Marquis of Wuding and are said to be staying in an outer residence of the Marquis of Wuding's mansion that is unknown to outsiders.
That very night, the shameless Marquis of Wuding, taking advantage of his status as a military general, took advantage of the twins.
This illegitimate daughter was taken away by the Earl of Ping An.
However, they were not placed in any outer residence, but rather in a small courtyard within the Ping'an Earl's mansion.
Vice Minister Mei loved beautiful women; all the wives he married, whether they were his principal wife or concubines, were beauties.
Therefore, that illegitimate daughter was also incredibly beautiful.
In addition, Minister Mei originally intended to give this illegitimate daughter to the Prince of Qin as a concubine, and in terms of upbringing, she was almost no different from the legitimate daughter.
The old man, Ping Anbo, was a lecherous old man.
Upon seeing such a beauty, who cares that she is the daughter of a former comrade-in-arms!
That very night, he took the concubine's daughter.
If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. If the elders are like this, how can any of the younger ones be decent?
None of the three sons of the Earl of Ping'an spared the concubine's daughter of Minister Mei.
In their eyes, even if they didn't enter their homes, they would still have to enter the brothel.
It wouldn't be any better back then...
And so, Vice Minister Mei's illegitimate daughter spent several months in the Earl of Ping'an's mansion in a state of utter darkness.
She finally found a chance to escape.
She was quite clever; she slipped through the back door of Chunbuwan and hid in the woodshed in the backyard.
When the third son of the Marquis of Ping'an led his men into Chun Bu Wan, Qiu Niang secretly ordered a search of the backyard.
In any case, even if someone did break into the Spring Festival Gala, we can't let them be found out.
This search uncovered the identity of Vice Minister Mei's illegitimate daughter.
"Madam, do you think the entire Ping An Marquis's family is rotten from top to bottom?"
"Especially that third young master, he's rotten to the core." Hua Wanli looked at Old Madam Shen with righteous indignation.
Madam Shen nodded.
Yes, that family is absolutely rotten.
In any case, she is the daughter of a former colleague.
Perhaps before Vice Minister Mei got into trouble, these people were still drinking and having fun together!
"This is indeed a terrible family; they will be punished," sighed Madam Shen.
Hua Wanli nodded.
Yes, there will be retribution.
And the retribution will come soon...
Hearing this, Shangguan Jin felt a little uneasy.
The difference between heaven and earth is perhaps best exemplified by the daughter of the Mei family...
No, she absolutely couldn't let the Shen family fall into this predicament.
Therefore, we must have a way out.
Even if the King of Qin or the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, they will still need a safe place to go.
Thinking about this, Shangguan Jin became a little distracted.
Hua Wanli noticed that Shangguan Jin was distracted and suddenly thought of something.
Oh no, could it be that Madam Shen is feeling sorry for someone who has lost their ally?
Have you considered that if something happens to the Duke of Yiguo's mansion in the future, it might also end up in that same situation?
"Madam Shen, please rest assured, you are a good person, the Duke of Dingguo is a good person, and Old Madam Shen is also a good person."
Everyone in your household is a good person.
"No matter what happens in the future, we will definitely stand by your side." Hua Wanli tried her best to comfort Shangguan Jin.
At this moment, she regretted kicking Lian Qianli out.
That kid is quick-witted; he certainly wouldn't just resort to harsh words to comfort people like I do.
If he were here, he could definitely make the two ladies happy. What a pity...
While Hua Wanli was blaming herself, Shangguan Jin suddenly thought of something.
"Is that...that young lady still in your building?"
"No! We just saw them off. If they were fast on their feet, they'd probably be almost out of the city gates by now," Hua Wanli said.
They've been seen off?
Shangguan Jin and Madam Shen both looked at Hua Wanli in surprise.
Wow, that was fast!
"Do you know where you took her? How did you get her away?"
Hua Wanli had even more to say about this.
"Madam Shen, that young lady is clever."
She herself said that she was able to escape from the Marquis of Ping'an's mansion with the help of others.
The man also told her that the only person who could save her now was a relative living far away in Jiangnan.
My brother and I are kind-hearted, and we thought that since this was the case, it must be fate, so we might as well see it through to the end.
"It just so happens that the teahouse has a batch of goods purchased in the capital that needs to be delivered to my mother, so I'll give her a ride there since we're on the way!"
Hua Wanli spoke lightly, but Shangguan Jin sensed something different in her words.
That young woman is shrewd; otherwise, she wouldn't have said she escaped.
It wouldn't hurt to lend a hand.
As for what that young woman did after she was delivered to her destination, that was none of their business.
"Madam Shen, don't worry, she used a hairpin as payment."
We don't work for nothing.
"By the way, Madam Shen, what exactly is the situation with the Marquis of Ping'an's mansion? I'm new to the capital and don't know everything." Hua Wanli still smiled.
"The Marquis of Ping'an's residence..."
You already found out, it's a bit confusing.
And also...
The Earl of Ping An had three sons and two daughters.
However, the next generation faces some difficulties in having offspring.
The two sons, who are now married, have married many concubines, but only two granddaughters have been born.
That third young master usually plays with cats and dogs, and loves to visit brothels. Before his wife even entered the household, he had already taken many concubines.
However, I heard that the old lady of the Duke of Anguo's family intends to marry one of her illegitimate grandnieces to this third young master.
Anyway, they're all snakes and rats in the same nest, none of them are good people." Shangguan Jin said what she knew.
Hua Wanli nodded, then pressed her knuckles together in a manner quite out of place.
Listen to the faint cracking sound of finger joints.
Shangguan Jin and Madam Shen exchanged glances.
This little girl seems a bit excited!
Their eyes were shining, as if they had found something fun...
