Chapter 170 In ancient times, mothers-in-law carved words, and now Aunt Yao carved "cheap"
What are they talking about?
Minister Chen's eyes rolled around, his body was as stiff as a tree, and cold sweat was pouring out.
What does "getting two styes" mean?
What did it mean that half of the nobles, with their families, were watching the fun in his house? Or in the west courtyard not far from where that yellow-faced woman lived?
Could it be that... that old bitch actually dared to cheat on him?!
How outrageous!
Minister Chen's face flushed red, his teeth itched with anger, and he wished he could rush out and catch the adulterer immediately.
But then he thought again—that's not right! The time didn't match. He clearly didn't see anyone when he returned home.
Little did he know that this was the second time he had been hit by the immobilization spell that day.
Madam Yao met Minister Chen's suspicious gaze. To protect Tang Bao, she cleared her throat, her face full of contempt, and glared fiercely at the old man on the couch.
"Bitch Chen, I see the temptation in your eyes. Humph, today I will teach you to be a wise ghost..."
"You returned home at the beginning of the Hai year, and now it's already midnight! Do you think you can remain 'standing firm' forever just by relying on those tiger and wolf medicines?"
"Oh...dream on!"
Minister Chen: `Σ(￣□￣|||)`
"To tell you the truth, the reason you two are so stiff and unable to move is because you've been poisoned by the secret medicine from the palace! Bitch Chen, this is the second time you've been poisoned today!"
Minister Chen: “???”
What secret medicine is so terrifying? So overbearing?
He...how come he had never heard of it?!
Minister Chen was confused and stared blankly at the opposite side.
Nanny Yao raised the corner of her mouth and sneered coldly.
"When you first returned home, you dismissed the servants who had been supporting you along the way and hid in a corner to make a yellow potion..."
"That was the first time I used the secret medicine on you!"
When she thought about the fact that the little princess had used a spell to immobilize the shameless old man at that time, Madam Yao became a little crazy.
But think about it, according to common sense, the little princess should have only seen the back of the figure...
"You were so drunk you passed out, falling asleep standing up like that! Naturally, you didn't notice a group of people storming in from the corner gate of your west courtyard!"
"Bitch Chen, let me tell you, the bustle in your west courtyard is far more turbid and exciting than this sordid affair between you and your daughter-in-law! It's truly eye-catching!"
As soon as Aunt Yao finished speaking, Li Chenglan interrupted in a cold voice, "I can only speculate that if this matter were to become known, the Chen family would be immortalized in history and become a constant source of laughter and gossip among the people."
"Master Chen... I'm afraid you will never have the face to face your ancestors in the underworld again."
Suddenly...
There was a sudden silence in the room.
Minister Chen could clearly hear the noise coming from outside.
It turns out...something terrible really happened in the mansion!
Chen Jianping felt as if he was struck by lightning, and everything was as absurd as a nightmare.
"ah……"
"ah??!"
His eyes were filled with panic, his throat was hoarse, and he used all his strength to squeeze out a few broken syllables from his throat.
Xiao Tangbao's pair of bright eyes instantly widened: "Do you want to ask us what we want to do?!" the little guy asked impatiently.
Afraid that he wouldn't hear clearly, she deliberately spoke slowly, enunciating each word.
She was so anxious to go to the west yard to watch the fun! It made Tang Bao so anxious~
Minister Chen: “…”
He wanted to ask! He had wanted to ask for a long time!
Chen Jianping's cloudy eyeballs were rolling wildly in his eye sockets.
Seeing this, Tang Bao hurriedly got down from the ground, put her hands behind her back, and said crisply, "As long as you agree to appraise the value of those jewelry and calligraphy and paintings for me according to the amount we quoted, I will let Yao Ma Ma detoxify you immediately!"
She approached the bed, stretched out two white and tender little fingers, and waved them in front of Minister Chen's eyes: "If you agree, roll your eyeballs to the right three times!"
Is it three or two?
Minister Chen dared not hesitate. He immediately used all his strength to open his eyes as wide as possible and turned his eyeballs to the right three times.
"Yeah!" The little guy nodded in satisfaction, then narrowed his eyes like a little fox and changed the subject: "But... to prevent you from cheating, after the poison is detoxified, you have to write a guarantee document in your own hand! The kind with your handprint."
Minister Chen: “???”
Documents, documents, documents!!?
She finally learned how to keep the documents, and she would ask anyone she could get to write them!
Good! He’ll write it! He’ll definitely write a good one that can prove that Princess Zhaoning coerced him into helping her fabricate the truth in order to deceive the emperor!!!
Let all the people in Prince Qing’s mansion die a miserable death.
"No!" Minister Chen's pride lasted only two seconds before Li Chenglan, standing beside him, interrupted coldly, his eyes sharp, "I won't write a guarantee."
He took a half step forward, glaring down at the immobilized Minister Chen. His voice was filled with undeniable pressure: "You must write a letter of repentance and a confession of guilt. The entire letter only mentions your adultery with your daughter-in-law."
"Once you've finished writing, we'll let you go to the West Courtyard right away! After you've dealt with this 'bustling' mess in the mansion, by noon tomorrow at noon—" He paused deliberately, "we'll recount Princess Zhaoning's donation."
"If Master Chen agrees, glance to the right three times."
The blood drained from Minister Chen's face, and his Adam's apple rolled with difficulty.
Tang Bao was afraid that he would waste time and affect her eating melons, so she immediately moved closer and lowered her voice slyly, but loud enough for everyone to hear:
"Master Chen, you'd better think carefully! We have an agreement with them, and those nobles who are keen on eating melons will not easily break up..."
"If you keep dawdling and can't get to the West Courtyard, hehe, the crowd of melon-eaters will be drawn here!"
Before he finished speaking, the two guards behind Li Chenglan understood what he meant and immediately stepped forward. They swiftly picked up all of Minister Chen's clothes scattered on the ground and threw them all out the door!
Zhimei reacted quickly as well. She immediately picked up the dress of Minister Chen's daughter-in-law and threw it out without hesitation!
Chen Shangshu's eyes went dark, and he felt completely hopeless. A huge sense of humiliation and despair instantly overwhelmed him.
He was suffocating, as if he had died once, and it took him several breaths to get relief.
After a moment, he opened his eyes wide with resignation and rolled his eyeballs three times to the right.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!
He agreed! He agreed to everything!!
…
The two documents are concise and to the point, sufficient to prove that Minister Chen is morally deficient and violates human ethics.
Madam Yao curled her lips in satisfaction and carefully put away the two documents with Minister Chen's bloody fingerprints.
Only allowed to put on his lower garment, Minister Chen knelt on the ground with his upper body naked. He clutched his cut fingers and glared fiercely at the old woman opposite him: "I...can I go now?" He gritted his teeth.
Nanny Yao pursed her lips, her eyes dark and unclear.
Thinking that this bastard not only cheated on his son, but also wanted to kill his wife.
Thinking of how he had bullied her in public during the day and left her in an humiliating situation, the anger buried deep in her heart suddenly surged up.
A cold light flashed in Aunt Yao's eyes, and she immediately raised her chin to Li Chenglan's two guards: "Hold him down."
The two guards looked at each other, stepped forward immediately, and grabbed Minister Chen's shoulders and arms, holding him firmly.
`(ノBenefit)…
Chen Jianping struggled in terror, his voice distorted by fear: "What are you going to do?!"
(￣～￣) Aunt Yao acted as if she didn’t hear anything and only ordered Zhimei to take Tangbao out.
As soon as the little guy left the room, Madam Yao easily pulled out a dagger and pressed the cold tip of the knife against Minister Chen's trembling back.
“Ugh—!”
A suppressed, inhuman howl came out from the depths of Minister Chen's throat. To avoid attracting attention, he clenched his teeth and dared not make another sound.
Accompanied by excruciating pain, Madam Yao carved a clear word "cheap" on Chen Jianping's scratched back.
She sheathed the knife, not even glancing at the glaring bloodstains, and said coldly, "Master Chen, you are old now, you should know that you can't just act arrogantly!"
"Don't even think of doing anything shady to embarrass or harm anyone... Otherwise, if I can carve one word on you, I can carve ten or a hundred!"
"..." Minister Chen was angry but dared not speak.
He glared at Yao Ma's back, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat that covered his eyes, and hurriedly grabbed the clothes scattered on the ground. He didn't care whether he put them on neatly or not. He crawled out of the house as if there was a ghost chasing him, and ran towards the west courtyard of Chen's house.
He would be a fool not to avenge this! That old bitch, that little bitch, and that troublemaker... He would never forgive them!
Minister Chen brushed past Tang Bao, and the little guy's eyes lit up. He clapped his hands on Zhi Mei's arm anxiously, "Hurry up! Let's go too! It's too late to leave!"
Xiao Zhimei, who was only two years older than her, grabbed Tang Bao's hand and chased Chen Jianping desperately.
Aunt Yao and others followed closely behind, picked up the two children and ran away... They were afraid that the two children would not be able to see anything, and would cry and not be able to sleep well!
…
“Make way! Make way!”
An anxious and impatient voice sounded from the back, and the women in the front row turned around.
I saw Minister Chen Jianping running towards this side angrily and limping, his face was so ugly!
Following behind him were Princess Zhaoning, Nanny Yao and others!
No wonder the little princess's other personal maid was here. It turned out that the little princess had taken people to find Minister Chen to inform him of the news!
Looking at the huge crowd of people at the entrance of the small Buddhist temple in the west, Minister Chen's legs went weak and he almost fell down.
If he had refused to give in just now, would these people have blocked his door?
That was a close call!
It’s… so scary!
As he got closer, he saw the undisguised playful smiles on everyone's faces. Chen Shangshu's eyebrows twitched and his heart was boiling with anger.
He angrily said, "Daliang has a law. If you break into an official residence at night, you will be punished with 90 strokes of the cane! If the offense is serious, even royal relatives and important officials will not be exempted! You all..."
"Hey!" A woman scoffed, "Master Chen, please stop trying to show off your might here. Come in and take a look!"
"That's right, this kind of good show is rare, especially when it's from our own family..."
The woman who was speaking covered her lips and laughed secretly, her eyes full of contempt.
Minister Chen felt a sudden wave of anxiety in his heart, which instantly made him extremely frightened.
