Gu Nanjiao said, "Wang Fu, I'll say this one last time: I'm a married woman and have no interest in your Mr. Bai. If I hear you trying to smear me and ruin my reputation again, I won't let you get away with it."
After saying that, he pushed Wang Fu into the bucket of water again.
Wang Fu's lips trembled, and he was covered in a mess: "I'm going to... tell my father, and my father... won't let you get away with this!"
Gu Nanjiao laughed and said, "Go ahead and tell me. Since I dared to do it, I'm not afraid of retaliation. Let me tell you, my father and the county magistrate are good friends, like brothers. Let's see who will let the other off the hook." After saying that, she glared fiercely at Honghuanglanlv and said, "You're the same. If I hear any more slander against me, that's what will happen to you."
The red, yellow, blue, and green people were frightened and shook their heads, saying, "We won't, we won't."
“You…you…” Wang Fuxin’s fingers trembled with coldness. Just a second ago, she was calling her Sister Wang this and Sister Wang that, but she was being bullied like this, and not a single person came forward to help her.
Gu Nanjiao asked Wang Fu in a low voice, "Have you submitted yet?"
Wang Fu stubbornly refused to speak, keeping his neck straight.
Gu Nanjiao stared coldly at Wang Fu. If she didn't subdue her this time, she would come back to cause trouble again. Since Wang Fu was so stubborn, then...
Gu Nanjiao pushed her back into the tub...
...
Bai Luochen rushed to the Zheng residence, only to find the old man absent. Knowing that he had a class to teach at Nanxiang Academy and wouldn't be back for a while, he aimlessly wandered around the garden.
I wonder if Wang Fu will cause trouble for Gu Nanjiao. That woman isn't one to suffer a loss easily, so she shouldn't be bullied.
But Wang Fu was accompanied by four people; with their numbers, Gu Nanjiao might suffer. Thinking of this, Bai Luochen couldn't sit still any longer and hurriedly rushed back.
Just then, they ran into Headmaster Zheng returning at the door, followed by Lu Yanzhao.
Bai Luochen was stunned for a moment, staring at Lu Yanzhao for a long time, feeling that he was very familiar with him.
Isn't this Gu Nanjiao's husband? I saw him at the restaurant entrance last time. He was trying to take Gu Nanjiao home when this guy showed up, looking at him with a vicious glare, as if he had stolen something from him.
Noticing the gaze fixed on him, Lu Yanzhao looked up and saw Bai Luochen. His eyes narrowed slightly, surprised that this pretty boy had such a close relationship with the headmaster.
The two locked eyes, and when Lu Yanzhao saw the faint scar on Bai Luochen's eyebrow, his dark eyes flickered.
"You brat, when did you get here?" Headmaster Zheng said irritably.
"Ah... I just arrived." Bai Luochen replied casually before getting up to leave.
"Where are you going?" Zheng Shanzhang asked in a loud voice.
"I'll go find..." Bai Luochen stopped in his tracks. Why should he go? Her real husband was right there. Why not let him go and rescue her?
Bai Luochen turned around and asked with a grin, "Grandpa, who is this?"
"This is my student, an excellent student in both character and academics, diligent and eager to learn, much better than you." Speaking of Lu Yanzhao, Headmaster Zheng stroked his white beard proudly, and when he said "much better than you," he looked at Bai Luochen with a hint of disappointment.
Bai Luochen...
Lu Yanzhao cupped his hands in greeting: "I am Lu Yanzhao, a student of Nanxiang Academy."
Bai Luochen politely returned the greeting: "I am Bai Luochen, a member of the Bai family of Yuzhou."
The Bai family of Yuzhou? Lu Yanzhao paused in surprise. Just as her mother had said, they were indeed a wealthy and powerful young nobleman.
Bai Luochen asked in a low voice, "Is Gu Nanjiao your wife?"
"It is indeed my wife!"
"Your wife has been beaten up right outside the Jiaoniang Pavilion."
"What?" Lu Yanzhao frowned.
Gu Nanjiao was beaten up? At the entrance of Jiaoniang Pavilion?
Gu Nanjiao wasn't the type to suffer a loss. He still vividly remembered her fierce appearance when she fought with Yang Meiqin last time.
Lu Yanzhao bowed to Headmaster Zheng and said, "Headmaster, please excuse me for leaving. I will come back to discuss policy issues with you as soon as I have finished dealing with this matter."
"Go quickly and come back quickly!" Headmaster Zheng waved his hand.
Lu Yanzhao strode away, with Bai Luochen following closely behind.
Gu Nanjiao finally felt relieved after tormenting Wang Fu to the point of near death. She asked herself if she had ever caused Wang Fu any trouble. If she couldn't win Bai Luochen's heart, why was she constantly targeting her? And those four girls in red, yellow, blue, and green—not only did they covet someone else's husband, but they also kept calling her a country bumpkin and teamed up with Wang Fu against her. They were just looking for trouble.
"Do you know you were wrong?" Gu Nanjiao's gloomy voice was like a vengeful ghost.
Wang Fu choked, his nose stung, tears streamed down his face, and he felt terrible all over. He begged for mercy, "I know I was wrong, please let me go. I shouldn't have said such vicious things to you."
Gu Nanjiao scoffed, "You can't win a man's heart, so why take it out on me? I hate it most when people insult and curse me without even knowing the facts." Gu Nanjiao paused, then pointed to the red, yellow, blue, and green areas, "And you, shameless enough to intercept other people's husbands at the academy gate, and then you accuse me of being greedy. This time, I'll make an example of you. Don't let me see you again, or you'll suffer the same fate."
When Lu Yanzhao and Bai Luochen arrived, this was the scene they saw.
Wang Fu's face was covered in filth, tears streaming down his face, his hair disheveled, and his hairpins scattered on the ground; he was in a very sorry state. The four women, dressed in red, yellow, blue, and green, stood trembling to the side, while Cui Hong and Ju Zi stood imposingly holding clothes-carrying poles.
When the red, yellow, blue, and green birds saw the newcomer, their eyes lit up, and they quickly put on a pitiful look.
Gu Nanjiao released Wang Fu and came to Lu Yanzhao: "Why did you come here?"
Lu Yanzhao asked worriedly, "Are you alright? I heard you got beaten up?"
"Do I look like I've been beaten up?" Gu Nanjiao gestured with her chin towards Wang Fu.
Wang Fu slowly raised her head and was stunned by Lu Yanzhao's breathtaking appearance. When she noticed Bai Luochen beside her, she was filled with shame and indignation.
Unfortunately, Bai Luochen saw Gu Nanjiao in this wretched state, and she felt like killing her.
"Young Master Bai, you must help me! This poisonous woman is going to kill me!" Wang Fu cried out, looking heartbroken as if he were about to die.
Before Bai Luochen could answer, Lu Yanzhao asked coldly, "You're alive and well, and your cries are loud. How can you falsely accuse someone of killing you?"
Wang Fu paused, then cried out, "She kicked me and shoved my head into a bucket of sewage. What is this if not murder?"
Lu Yanzhao's eyes narrowed slightly as he asked, "Why did she kick you and not someone else? What heinous thing did you do to anger my wife?"
"I..." Wang Fu couldn't answer, and looked at Bai Luochen with tears in her eyes, saying pitifully, "Young Master Bai..."
Bai Luochen looked up and asked Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green, "What do you think is going on?"
Gu Nanjiao's eyes narrowed, and she felt a little angry. Bai Luochen, you are too dishonest. It's one thing to run away first, but now you actually asked Wang Fu's followers. They will definitely make false accusations and bite back.
Before the red, yellow, blue, and green could speak, Gu Nanjiao answered first:
“Young Master Bai, she said I seduced you, that I was greedy and had my cake and eat it too, that I was enjoying the best of both worlds, and that she even wanted to send me to a brothel to be with men.”
