Chapter 257 There are actually such shameless women in this world!
Tang Bugui smiled and looked at him with a leisurely air.
“Then it will be up to you to investigate, after all… you’re the ones who lost him…” Tang Bugui said in a low voice.
He paused, as if he had just thought of something, a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Suddenly, he changed the subject and looked at Lan Feng with great interest.
"Your Bai family's wife is quite something. Six years into the marriage, she has no children, and you two aren't worried at all..."
Lan Feng didn't know what Tang Bugui was going to say, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"My wife is a lady of the inner quarters. If General Tang wants to deal with me, he may come directly. But don't do anything that would be despicable! It would only make the General lose face!"
Lan Feng still cares a lot about his wife, after all, she is the woman who has been with him all this way!
Tang Bugui narrowed his eyes and said in a light tone, "Is that so? I did hear something a few days ago. A cousin of the Bai family donated a sixth-rank general position..."
Lan Feng frowned slightly, unable to understand why Tang Bugui would say this!
But he really didn't know about this, mainly because apart from his wife, he really didn't think much of anyone else in the Bai family.
"What do you mean by that? So what if you bought an official position?" But in front of Tang Bugui, he still had to defend his wife.
Tang Bugui looked at his clueless expression and thought to himself, "What an idiot."
Upon recalling what he had discovered, Tang Bugui immediately smiled.
Since we're all having a bad time, let's all be having a bad time together!
"That's quite a coincidence... I heard that my cousin's wife died a few years ago, and your Bai family..."
Tang Bugui didn't finish his sentence, but was interrupted by Lan Feng.
“General Tang…you are a general of the Great Shang Kingdom, why would you spread rumors about a woman? A woman’s reputation is of paramount importance…” Lan Feng frowned slightly and said in a cold tone.
Tang Bugui sipped his ginseng tea, a mocking look in his eyes.
"Is that so?" Tang Bugui gave Guard Ling a look.
The latter immediately ran out and returned a moment later.
When he returned, he was carrying a box containing a pile of jewelry...
Lan Feng's expression changed slightly, and his fist clenched slightly inside his sleeve.
He recognized all these things; some belonged to his sister, and some were part of his wife's dowry...
Some were bought by the owner and given to the Bai family.
Ms. Bai is usually very simple and doesn't wear much jewelry. She says she doesn't like wearing those things.
The Lan family's frugality was so great that even the emperor would praise them.
"These are all items collected by the pawnshop in Dongcheng these past few days. Unfortunately, this shop happens to be my property. Someone said they saw Lord Xiaolan's wife pawning things, so I had these items brought over..."
Tang Bugui looked at the contents inside, but his eyes held a hint of coldness.
Because the Bai family has been pawning things for five years!
There's also a jade pendant I gave to Shuyu...
He squinted, his heart filled with inexplicable emotions.
"I will investigate this matter thoroughly!" Lan Feng, having served as an official for many years, quickly regained his composure.
He turned and left without lingering.
When Lan Feng returned home, before he even entered the house, he heard Bai Shi coughing uncomfortably.
Upon hearing that Xiao Su Bao had an accident, Bai Shi prayed for Xiao Su Bao day and night in the small Buddhist hall.
He hadn't seen her for several days.
A question arose in her mind: how could she have taken so many things?
The thought that all of this might be Tang Bugui's scheme made him feel a little more at ease.
Lan Feng loosened his clenched fist and quietly walked to the door.
Just as he reached out to push the door open, he suddenly heard Bai's voice.
"Cousin, now that you're a valiant general, you must take good care of yourself and not make me worry!" Bai's voice was unusually gentle.
Lan Feng's face darkened, and his heart suddenly stopped.
Adulterers!
He wanted to rush in, but reason made him hold back.
"Don't worry, cousin. When I become a first-rank general, I will definitely not let you down!" The man's voice was somewhat familiar; it seemed to be the dark-faced man he had seen at the Bai family.
"I am already a withered flower, how can I be worthy of my cousin? I only hope that my cousin will occasionally bring Wan'er to visit me!" Bai said weakly.
This was completely different from her usual gentle and aloof demeanor in front of me.
In a moment of impulsiveness, Lan Feng rushed inside.
In the simple and clean Buddhist hall, a red bib covered the Guanyin statue, while two bodies were intertwined on the soft couch next to it.
Lan Feng was about to explode!
What did he see...?
The woman who was usually as pure and beautiful as a snow lotus and plum blossom in his presence was now extremely wanton, even less so than the prostitutes in the brothel...
Lan Feng grabbed the longsword from the ground and slashed directly at the two men.
"Husband, what are you doing... Come at me, don't touch my cousin, cousin, you have to go..." Bai was scared, but her first reaction was still to protect her cousin.
Having drunk some wine, the valiant general was not about to let Lan Feng get away with it. He snatched the sword and slashed at Lan Feng.
While the two were grappling, Bai hurriedly put on her clothes.
"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, cousin, please stop... Husband, I was wrong, please stop hitting me..." Bai cried and stood in front of the two men.
"Cousin, step aside! If Lan Feng hadn't stolen your love, you would have married me!" The valiant general glared at Lan Feng and said fiercely.
Lan Feng went mad. Without saying a word, he charged straight at the enemy.
"Cousin, the Lan family is allied with the Crown Prince. You can't fight them. You must leave now! Leave the rest to me!"
As Bai was speaking, she saw Lan Feng rushing over and instantly hugged his waist, making it difficult for him to move.
Lan Feng felt as if his heart had been shattered by ice as he listened to Bai Shi's words.
General Xiaoji's expression changed slightly. Thinking of the Lan family's situation, he ultimately decided not to escalate the matter.
Besides, Bai was just one of his mistresses; he couldn't let a woman jeopardize his future.
"good!"
After Bai finished speaking, he responded and actually left.
The Lan family wouldn't do anything to me for the sake of their reputation.
Unless Lan Feng has no shame!
Lan Feng wanted to tear this valiant cavalry general to shreds!
He shoved Bai aside and turned to chase after her.
"If you dare to leave, I'll kill myself right here!" Bai shouted as she saw Lan Feng about to chase after her, fearing that things would escalate.
Lan Feng genuinely loves her, and the Bai family knows that, so...
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Lan Feng stopped and turned to look at Bai Shi.
He slapped Bai across the face.
Blood trickled from the corner of Bai's mouth, but her eyes showed no extra emotion.
At this moment, she seemed to have become that unattainable beauty once again...
"How can you do this to me?"
Lan Feng took a deep breath and stared intently at his beloved wife.
His heart ached, as if something was twisting it.
“My cousin and I are truly in love. My parents wanted to marry me off to you, but I didn’t want to. They threatened to kill their daughter to force me to…”
“I want to live a good life with you, but I can’t bear to leave my daughter. To see her, I can only contact my cousin. I love my cousin. Now that you’ve already found out…”
"Please, just grant my wish..."
Bai knew she was shameless, but for her daughter and the man she loved, she had no choice but to do it!
This might be the best way for me to leave the Lan family.
Lan Feng stared wide-eyed at Bai Shi in disbelief.
He was trembling all over, so angry that he couldn't speak!
Behind Lan Feng, the guard Ling, General Cheng, and Tang Bugui, who were hiding in the shadows, immediately widened their eyes.
"Wow, there are actually such shameless women in this world... General, I've seen it all!" General Cheng's worldview collapsed instantly, and he was completely dumbfounded.
