"If you don't believe me, Madam, you can have another doctor examine you."
"Thank you, doctor." Wang gave a wry smile and left the clinic.
"Granny Yu, go and find out what that Yu Niang did before?" Madam Wang instructed as soon as she left the clinic.
"Yes, Miss." Granny Yu acknowledged the order and left.
Granny Yu was her wet nurse. She had come with Wang when she married into the Cai family and was the person she trusted most.
Back at her residence, Lady Wang ordered someone to bring safflower, which she then added to her favorite black tea and brewed with hot water.
As soon as she drank it, tears streamed down her face.
So this was the "supplement" that Cai Fanzhou was talking about that was good for her health.
It turns out that from the very beginning, Cai Fanzhou did not want her to get pregnant with his child.
Or perhaps he had planned from the beginning for taking concubines and keeping mistresses.
The idea that he would only marry one person and never take a concubine is utter nonsense!
All he wants is the Wang family behind him!
If she has no children, the Wang family's assets will fall into Cai Fanzhou's hands. When she is old and faded, she will be left without children and will be at Cai Fanzhou's mercy.
At this moment, Granny Yu entered the room. Seeing Wang's swollen eyes, she felt a pang of heartache and softly called out, "Miss."
Upon hearing Granny Yu's voice, Madam Wang wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Speak."
“That Yu Niang wasn’t a refugee at all. She was Master’s distant cousin. Her family had fallen on hard times and sold her to a brothel in Biyue City. Master found her, redeemed her, and secretly brought her back to Yanyang City.” Granny Yu told Wang Shi everything she had found out.
Granny Yu's trip to gather information went very smoothly; she found out what she wanted without much trouble.
Bishui City is not far from Yanyang City, and Cai Fanzhou often goes to Bishui City to make house calls.
Wang instantly understood why Cai Fanzhou was keeping Yu Niang as a mistress.
In the Great Chu Kingdom, even when taking a concubine, it was required that she come from a respectable family. She could be from a poor family, but she could never be a courtesan.
I see......
I see!
No wonder Cai Fanzhou only dared to keep his mistress outside; he must have been driven to desperation that night and had no choice but to fabricate such a lie to deceive her.
Heh, since Cai Fanzhou was unkind first, don't blame Wang Caizhu for being unjust later!
"Granny Yu, go and sell those three people, then invite my father over," Madam Wang said calmly.
"Yes, Madam." Granny Yu hurried out of the room, wanting to get this done before the master returned.
Otherwise, if the master comes back and causes some trouble, and the mistress softens her heart again, wouldn't a mistress with a child be able to take advantage of the mistress?
When Cai Fanzhou returned to the mansion, he saw Master Wang sitting in the main hall.
A sense of unease welled up inside him, but he still forced a smile: "Father-in-law, what brings you here?"
Master Wang sneered, "If I hadn't come, I don't know what kind of mess you would have made of my daughter. Cai Fanzhou, you're something else, keeping a mistress."
Cai Fanzhou glanced at Wang Shi with some resentment. Hadn't he managed to appease her yesterday? Why did he have to call his father-in-law over?
However, he dared not say anything. Today, the accountant of Jirentang told him that he was still short eight thousand taels of money for the medicine, and he was planning to ask his father-in-law for some.
“Father-in-law, how could I dare? I cherish Zhu’er dearly. As for Yu Niang, Zhu’er has already agreed to let her enter the manor as the fourth concubine,” Cai Fanzhou explained.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Master Wang threw a teacup at him. If Cai Fanzhou hadn't dodged quickly, it would have hit him on the head.
"Father-in-law, what do you mean by this?" Cai Fanzhou asked in a terrified tone.
"What do you mean? Cai Fanzhou, you know what you've done. I'm here today to make sure you and Zhu'er get a divorce."
Although it is said that it is better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage, how could Master Wang let his daughter stay by the side of such a cruel man who had caused his daughter to be unable to conceive for the rest of her life?
The Wang family could easily support not just one Wang Caizhu, but a hundred of them.
