"Wang, what are you doing!" Cai Fanzhou roared.
Wang, Cai Fanzhou's legal wife, was the daughter of Wang, a wealthy man from Yanyang City.
It can be said that Cai Fanzhou was able to develop Jirentang into its current scale by marrying Wang and receiving financial support from his father-in-law's family.
Wang was spoiled by her parents from a young age and had a spoiled personality. She had been married to Cai Fanzhou for many years but had been unable to have children, so she had no choice but to let Cai Fanzhou take several concubines.
But today, Wang suddenly received news that Cai Fanzhou was secretly keeping a mistress, who had even given birth to a son and a daughter for him.
In the Great Chu Kingdom, no respectable family would keep a mistress. Not only would the man be ridiculed, but he would also be slapping the face of his legal wife.
Wang couldn't stand this insult, so she went directly to Cai Fanzhou.
"You, Cai Fanzhou! I've arranged a concubine for you, and you're still not satisfied? You actually dared to keep a mistress behind my back!" Madam Wang, slightly plump, led a group of old women to block the door completely.
Upon hearing this, Cai Fanzhou quickly got up and dressed, his eyes darting around as he retorted, "What mistress? I don't know anything about her. Has any of you been gossiping to Madam again? Come out and admit it now, or I'll sell you all out."
The business of Jirentang is not as good as before, and the Cai family's other businesses are being suppressed by the business alliance. As the head of the family, Cai Fanzhou cannot do without the support of his father-in-law's family to protect Jirentang.
Under these circumstances, how could he dare to offend the Wang family?
"Madam, you can't just listen to slanderous words and doubt your husband like that!" Cai Fanzhou protested.
Over the years, he had settled his mistress in a good way, and she rarely went out, so it was impossible for Madam Wang to find out.
Cai Fanzhou was very certain of this, and gradually calmed down.
“Cai Fanzhou, I see you won’t shed a tear until you see the coffin. You didn’t keep a mistress? Then who are they?” Madam Wang pointed behind her.
The women quickly made way, and Cai Fanzhou then saw a woman and two children behind the crowd. However, all three were tied up and had rags stuffed in their mouths, so they hadn't been able to make a sound.
The woman was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with a beautiful face. Her hair was disheveled from being pulled. When she saw Cai Fanzhou, she struggled desperately and shook her head, tears streaming down her face.
The two children looked to be about six or seven years old, and they kept making "woo woo woo" noises.
Cai Fanzhou was stunned. He never expected that Wang would bring the mother and her two children with her.
Although Wang had a fiery temper, she wasn't stupid; she knew that words alone were not enough.
Upon receiving the message, she immediately sent someone to verify it. After confirmation, she went directly to the person's home and brought them back.
This way, Cai Fanzhou can no longer deny or transfer his mistress.
The mother and her two children looked at him with tears in their eyes, which made Cai Fanzhou feel a pang of heartache.
No matter what, they are his own flesh and blood.
Seeing Cai Fanzhou's expression, Wang Shi understood immediately. She sneered, "Cai Fanzhou, since you keep saying you don't have any mistresses, then you obviously don't know them."
After saying that, Wang shouted, "Someone, sell them to the human traffickers."
"Yes, Madam." Immediately, a servant came up and pulled the three away.
Cai Fanzhou panicked: "Madam, you mustn't!"
Madam Wang sneered, "What, you can't bear to part with her? Cai Fanzhou, on our wedding day, you told me you would never take a concubine. Later, fearing that your Cai Fan line would end, I took the initiative to arrange a concubine for you. I never expected you to be so unsatisfied, actually keeping a mistress outside. Since ancient times, a legal wife can dispose of her mistress at will. Even if I kill her, no one will say a word against me!"
Cai Fanzhou knew that Wang was capable of both her words and deeds, and he truly panicked.
"Madam, Madam, I was wrong, please forgive me this once."
"Forgive you? Fine, you can deal with those three, and then I'll forgive you."
