There are only two ways to deal with mistresses caught in the past: either they are executed or they are sold off.
Wang is forcing Cai Fanzhou to make a choice.
But neither of these options was something Cai Fanzhou wanted.
He thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Madam, may they all leave? I have something to say to you alone."
Madam Wang glanced at Cai Fanzhou, waved her hand, and everyone withdrew. The concubine also quickly left, carefully closing the door behind her.
The concubine knew very well that in this household, it was better to offend the master than the mistress.
Offending the master might result in being forced to kneel as punishment, but offending the mistress could mean no food, no nice clothes, and certainly no access to the latest jewelry.
Only two people remained in the room, and Cai Fanzhou knelt down with a thud.
This startled Ms. Wang.
Since ancient times, it has been said that a man's knees are worth gold. Cai Fanzhou is a respected doctor, but today he actually knelt down before me.
This kneeling incident left Wang somewhat at a loss.
Cai Fanzhou's voice choked slightly: "Madam, I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time. Yu Niang is also a pitiful person. She fled from the south and fainted by the roadside. I took pity on her and saved her. After she woke up, she insisted on marrying me. I took her in out of pity. I was afraid that you would not agree, so I didn't dare to bring her home."
When Wang saw her husband kneeling before her with tears in his eyes, she felt a pang of pity.
Thinking of their years of marriage and her regret at not being able to have a child, she sighed inwardly, suppressed her anger, and waved her hand: "Forget it, let's bring her into the household after some time."
Cai Fanzhou was overjoyed and quickly got up to hug Madam Wang: "Madam is indeed magnanimous, worthy of being the mistress of the house. I will return to Suxiang Courtyard with Madam today."
The door opened, and the servants, seeing their master emerge with his wife in his arms, knew that everything was over.
Madam Wang instructed, "Let these three stay in Hua Rong Courtyard for now. They are not allowed to leave the house without my permission."
“Yes, Madam,” the group of old women replied.
Upon learning this, Su Ruojin smiled faintly and said, "Cai Fanzhou is really lucky to have met such a magnanimous lady. In that case, I might as well give him another push."
The Dark Alliance gave her more than just this information about Cai Fanzhou.
A few days later, Wang went out to the street with her maids and servants and encountered two people arguing in the street, with a crowd gathered around.
As Wang passed through the crowd, she saw a woman grabbing a man's collar and angrily shouting:
"You heartless bastard! To marry a mistress, you've been putting safflower in my tea every day, making me unable to conceive. I was wondering why the tea tasted so strange, and you lied and said it was some kind of tonic. What sins have I committed to deserve such a heartless person like you!"
After saying this, the woman suddenly rushed out of the crowd and grabbed Wang: "Madam, you be the judge for me. I work day and night for this family. We have no money, so I went back to my parents' home to ask for money to support my husband. This heartless man of mine actually poisoned my tea when I wasn't looking, making me childless. Tell me, is there no justice in this world?"
Caught off guard, Wang was pulled right in the act and was startled. The maids and servants nearby quickly came over and pulled the woman away.
The woman plopped down on the ground and began to wail and cry.
The woman's husband stood aside and watched coldly, making sarcastic remarks: "Look at yourself, you're as fat as a pig, old and ugly. How can you compare to my concubine? I'm being kind by not divorcing you."
"Pah! What flower maid? You're nothing but a lowly courtesan! I'm going to the authorities to report you! You just wait!" With that, the woman got up and ran towards the government office.
Seeing this, the man panicked and chased after her, yelling, "You wretched woman, come back here right now!"
After the two ran to a secluded alley, they stopped at the same time, looked at each other, and there was no trace of their argument.
Zhihua emerged from a street corner.
