Chapter 124: Things can’t be covered up
Ruan Ruoying could only cry, she didn’t know what to say.
She had cheated, but she never thought she would get pregnant. This was beyond her expectation.
“Madame Zhao.” Feng Zuwen saw that the three of them didn’t know what to do, so she shouted directly outside.
Madame Zhao was waiting outside the courtyard.
When she heard the Marquis’s call, she immediately trotted in.
“Marquis.” Madame Zhao bowed her body. She knew something was wrong when she saw the expressions of the masters.
“Who has the old lady been in contact with recently?” Feng Zuwen stared at Madame Zhao with a pair of tiger eyes, which scared Madame Zhao a lot.
But what should she say? The old lady is her master. If she said it, she would have no good life in the hands of the old lady in the future, and her whole family was in the hands of the old lady.
Madam Zhao trembled and dared not say anything.
"Hmm?" Feng Zuwen hummed softly, frightening people to kneel on the ground.
But she still said nothing, just trembling on the ground.
"You old thing, why don't you confess the truth." Feng Zuwu stepped forward and kicked Madam Zhao to the ground.
"Marquis, Second Master. I am just a servant. Wherever the master goes, I will follow." This is equivalent to saying nothing.
"Do you know what disease your mother has?" Feng Zuwu didn't believe that even Madam Zhao didn't know what was wrong with her mother.
"I don't know. This is the first time I have seen the master vomit like this. No, I vomited when I was pregnant with Second Master and Miss, but it was not as severe as today." Madam Zhao really didn't know, so she remembered that her master vomited when she was pregnant halfway through.
"I just want to ask you, which man has mother been in frequent contact with recently?" Feng Zuwu squatted down and asked in a gloomy voice.
It seemed that if Nanny Zhao didn't tell the truth, she would eat her up.
"Old slave..." Nanny Zhao still didn't dare to say anything and looked at Ruan Ruoying.
But Ruan Ruoying didn't dare to look at anyone at all. Now everyone in the family knew about it, and she didn't know how this matter would end.
"If you want to die now, I will grant you your wish." Feng Zuwu threatened Nanny Zhao with death.
"Second Master, the master..." Nanny Zhao glanced at Ruan Ruoying again and saw that she was still not in a good state.
"The master has often met with the cousin in the past three months." Nanny Zhao had to tell the truth.
"Which cousin?" Feng Zuwu really didn't know any cousin.
"The old lady's maternal grandfather's cousin, Liu Taizhe." After Nanny Zhao started, it was easier to start.
But Feng Zuwu had never heard of this name.
"Tell me everything that happened in the past few months." Feng Zuwu's eyes were frosty.
Today's matter has been exposed to the world, and if he doesn't get it clear, how can he be willing to accept it.
Nanny Zhao started from the day when she received the letter on the day Feng Yuanhao proposed, until yesterday.
Feng Zuwu knew what was going on with Liu Xier, whom his mother had been keeping with her recently.
He only knew before that she was a relative from his mother's family and wanted to find a good family in the capital.
He didn't care anyway, it was no big deal, just a girl.
But after listening to the whole process, he didn't hear that his mother and the cousin did anything out of the ordinary.
"Have you seen the two of them being too intimate?" Feng Zuwu was sure that the bastard in his mother's belly must be this Liu Taizhe.
"No, but every time I went with the old lady, Xier would ask me to go buy vegetables and come back to make lunch." After Madam Zhao said this, there was nothing she didn't understand.
The two of them took advantage of the time difference to get together and hide it from the old madam who was closest to them.
"Where is that person? Take me there." Feng Zuwu couldn't wait a moment and went out with Madam Zhao.
But when he brought Madam Zhao to the alley on Guanghua Street, the door was locked.
Feng Zuwu broke in unceremoniously.
As a result, the house was empty and it was obvious that he had escaped.
Feng Zuwu was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
He hurried back.
Everyone was still waiting in the restaurant for him to come back with his men.
Ruan Ruoying also had expectations. At this point, her only hope was that her cousin would take responsibility and take her away. This Marquisate would not be able to accommodate her.
Feng Zuwu was her biological son, and he would definitely protect her.
"Mom, that Liu Taizhe has already escaped. I didn't see anyone when I went there." Feng Zuwu was now looking at his mother, furious.
"What did you say?" Ruan Ruoying couldn't believe it. Her
cousin had promised to take responsibility. At worst, she would give up the wealth of this Marquisate and follow him back to his hometown, since his wife was already dead.
"He said he would take responsibility. We were supposed to be husband and wife. How could he leave me? This is impossible.
We were childhood sweethearts and were about to get engaged. We have always remembered this feeling. Why? Why?" Ruan Ruoying was so heartbroken that she didn't know what to say.
"Very good, very good." Feng Zuwen suddenly said, "Second brother, it's useless to say anything. The incident has already happened. What can we do? Mother is the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion. Now she is not a good wife and has done something that brings shame to the Marquis's Mansion."
Yes, now is to solve the problem, not to pursue responsibility.
"Big brother, I want to capture Liu Taizhe and interrogate him in person before making a final judgment." Feng Zuwu said this, how could he let that man go easily?
"Okay, but you have to think about it. Time is one day at a time." The implication is that the belly will get bigger day by day.
"I will leave for Fengyang City tomorrow. No, I will leave now, the city gate is not closed yet." Feng Zuwu simply gave a few instructions and set off with a few secret guards left by the old marquis.
Fengyang City is about 1,500 miles away from the capital. It will take him at least six days to go back and forth.
At this time, in a small town inn 500 miles away from the capital,
Liu Taizhe was enjoying the high-end service of Liu Xier washing his feet.
"Old man, don't you think it's a pity that you are leaving like this? That's the old lady of the marquis's mansion." Liu Xier asked with a smile, rubbing Liu Taizhe's feet while talking.
"What's so regretful? She's just an old woman. And she's an old woman who doesn't keep her husband's chastity." Liu Taizhe lifted his feet out of the water, and Liu Xier immediately wiped them with a towel. "
Back then, the Ruan family ruined my future in order
to marry into the Marquis's mansion. If I hadn't been sent back to my hometown and allowed to continue studying in the capital, maybe I would have a position now and bring honor to my family.
But because the Marquis came to propose marriage, all my dreams were ruined.
After so many years, I finally got my revenge, and I finally have no regrets in my heart." Liu Taizhe looked relieved.
The Ruan family's actions ruined his future, and he still holds a grudge against them. When someone asked him to act out this scene, he agreed without hesitation. And the other party also gave him 12,000 silver.
"You have also made a great contribution this time. I will give you your indenture when I go back. Go home and find a good family to marry." Liu Taizhe looked at Liu Xier in front of him and said.
In fact, her name is not Liu Xier, but Qing Liu. She is a maid bought by the Liu family. She is quite smart, so she was chosen by Liu Taizhe to cooperate with this play.
"Thank you, sir." Qing Liu was very happy. Her family has already found a man for her, waiting for her to redeem herself and go home.
After running for three days, Feng Zuwu arrived in Fengyang City and really found the Liu family, but when he asked around.
He was almost angry to the point of vomiting blood.
