Chapter 393: Adultery Exposed
"Why are there guests today? They must be the elders and aunts... Hurry up and wash up and come out, don't keep the guests waiting." Zhang told Su Miaomiao to get up and go out. Her dowry maid looked a little uneasy outside, and came over and whispered:
"Madam, your cousin is here to see you."
"What? Why is he here? Today is not a wedding day, anyone can come!" Zhang's face changed immediately: "Where is he? Did the master get disturbed in the front yard?"
"No, my cousin told me his identity, that he came to see my wife. Today, the third young lady is coming back, and there are some guests being received at the gatehouse, so naturally I won't think too much about it."
The maidservant who came with the dowry was now called Madam Lin. She looked around nervously and said, "My cousin is in the small guest hall in the backyard. It is usually used to receive female guests. No one will go in casually. I have someone guard it."
Zhang nodded and hurriedly followed Madam Lin to the small living room.
A brazier was placed in the small living room, and a man was drinking tea at the top seat, with tea, fruit and snacks placed beside him.
Zhang hurried in and after seeing the man, she winked at Madam Lin, who hurriedly left.
"Jingyi!" The man stood up, strode over, and hugged Zhang in his arms.
"What are you doing? Are you dissatisfied with your slow death?" Zhang struggled to free herself, looked outside, and glared at the man in reproach: "You are so impatient at your age. Are you not satisfied with your sister-in-law's food?"
"How can that yellow-faced woman compare to my cousin? Even though she is old, she is not inferior to a young lady." The man sat back and did not forget to coax Zhang.
"You can only say nice things... What are you here for today? Did you hear that your daughter is coming back and want to wait for your son-in-law to offer you a glass of wine?" Zhang smiled and said angrily.
"Didn't you send someone to send me a letter, asking me to come to your house now to tell you something important? You also said that you had arranged everything..." the man asked in confusion, and his expression gradually changed when he said this.
Zhang's face turned pale at this time, and she suddenly stood up: "Not good, let's go!"
"Where are you going, bitch?" The low voice behind the screen had no emotion, just an ordinary question, but Zhang's body swayed and she almost fell.
The man strode towards the door. When he opened the door, two long swords outside the door shone coldly, which made the man squint slightly. He retreated silently.
Master Su walked out from behind the screen, followed by the two young masters of the Su family. They also had pale faces and glared at Zhang angrily.
"My dear, I... I know I am wrong, but I have no choice. My cousin took my body when I was young, and he is engaged. The fiancée is a powerful woman, so I have no choice but to..."
Zhang then knelt down on the ground, not caring about saving face in front of her son.
"You could only deceive my mother and trick her into forcing me to take you as my concubine? I couldn't bear to hear my mother crying all day, so I fulfilled her wish. I knew that this act wronged Jiang, but I took advantage of her kindness and thought that I could just treat her better in the future. In the end, she became depressed and sick."
Master Su's eyes were cold as he looked down at Zhang, who was as delicate as a lotus and had tears on her face.
"Master! How dare I lie to you... But it is unacceptable for a woman to lose her virginity before marriage. Master, you are my cousin. I am not talented enough to be your concubine. I am also sincere to you..."
"Shut up! Do you still have any sense of shame when you say such things in front of your children?" Tutor Su shouted at Zhang. The door opened and Su Miaomiao was also sent in. When she saw the situation in the room, she was so scared that her legs went weak and she sat on the ground.
"Master, what I said is true. He...he kept pestering me. I was afraid that you would find out, so I had no choice but to accept his threats. Please understand!
I have given birth to three children for you, master. Today is the day when Miaomiao returns home. I ask you to consider the reputation of the Su family and not make this matter public for the time being. After the guests leave, I will leave it to you to deal with! ”
Zhang used a delaying tactic. How could the current Grand Tutor not care about his reputation? As long as she could pass this hurdle and get her cousin out of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, she would always find a way to coax Grand Tutor Su into changing his mind in the future.
"The reputation of the Su family? I, Su Qi, favored my concubine over my wife, causing my first wife to die of depression. I also promoted my concubine to my wife's first wife and treated her children harshly. How can I still have a good reputation? Today, I will make your scandal known to the world, and then send you a divorce letter and kick you out of the house!"
Tutor Su sneered, and his words sounded emotionless, but his hands were clenched in his sleeves so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
"Dad, don't!" Su Runqian and Su Runfeng both knelt down. Su Miaomiao also came to her senses and started crying and begging. If that was really the case, the future reputation of their three children would be ruined.
"Don't call me dad. Your dad is standing there. I have asked the royal doctor in the palace to check your bloodline. The three of you will drop blood with me later. If it is my bloodline, you will stay in the mansion. If it is that person's bloodline, you will leave with your mother. Don't taint the Su family's bloodline."
Tutor Su spoke these words calmly and clearly, and it was obvious that they were well thought out.
Zhang raised her head suddenly: "What did you say? You even asked the imperial physician to do a blood test to identify our relationship. You are trying to end our mother and son's life! Su Qi, why are you so aggressive? It's obviously you who are stupid. Can you blame me?"
The three brothers and sisters of the Su family were stunned. They didn't expect that Zhang, who always behaved weakly, would say such a thing. The adulterous cousin just sneered.
"What did you say?" Su Qi asked in a deep voice.
Zhang got up from the ground, brushed off the invisible dust on her body, raised her head and looked at Master Su coldly: "I said you are stupid, don't blame me! When I was carried in, you only drank a little wine on the wedding night, but you were drunk and unconscious, have you ever thought about why?"
Master Su narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of the past that he didn't want to recall: "I thought it was because I saw Jiang was sad and depressed..."
"Oh, the people are brought in, poking her in the eye sockets, and you are still pretending to be a loyal person? You only care about government affairs, how can Jiang Shi take it to heart?
There was a sleeping drug put into your wine, and your mother gave you that drug with her consent, for fear that you would not consummate the marriage with me and run off to Jiang! ”
Zhang laughed unscrupulously, with a look of sarcasm on her face.
Master Su pursed his lips and said nothing, his eyes as cold as ice.
"You are already unconscious, what else can you do? You just woke up and saw me in disarray, and you..."
"Mother, stop talking!" Su Runqian stopped her in panic and pain. He didn't expect that his life experience would change in an instant. Who would he be in the future?
"Su Qi, you can't blame anyone for this outcome. If you had been there to comfort Jiang, if you had been able to see through her mind after your mother scolded her with words every day, how could she have become so depressed and sick?
As a woman who cares about her man at heart, how could she bear to see her man having sex with another woman?
Jiang was sad and desperate because she loved you and admired you, but you let her down. Why shouldn't I be sad and depressed? Because I only regard you as a stepping stone to wealth and fame. It's none of my business who you are with!
You are stupid, and Jiang is stupid too. She deserves to die for giving her true heart to someone as cold-hearted as you! ”
The crisp sound of a slap ended Zhang's scream.
