Yang Cui sized up Wang Mengyun: "Who are you?"
“She is Wang Mengyun,” Cen Xiao said.
"Oh~" Yang Cui drawled, then looked her up and down, a half-smile on her face, and said, "So Lin Shikang abandoned his wife and daughter for you back then!"
Wang Mengyun choked.
No one has brought this up in a long time.
When their engagement was first announced, no one knew that Lin Shih-kang had a wife, so their engagement was considered a beautiful story.
Later, with the release of the play and the script of "The Third Scholar's Son-in-Law", people learned about Lin Shikang's family background. Some people criticized Lin Shikang for being ungrateful, but others criticized Wang Mengyun for being despicable. For a long time, Wang Mengyun stayed at home and never went out.
Wang Mengyun's face turned bright red as she said, "Back then... I didn't know that Lin Tanhua had a wife. Besides, it's not unusual for someone with a wife to take another wife. Doesn't Madam Cen know about the concept of a secondary wife? It's perfectly normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Madam Cen should be more magnanimous. Women shouldn't be so jealous."
“What Madam Gu said makes sense.” Yang Cui nodded seriously. “So tomorrow I will send a few beauties who are proficient in playing musical instruments, singing, playing chess, calligraphy and painting to the Earl of Yongchang. Madam Gu is so generous, I believe she will not be angry. After all… it is perfectly normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines.”
Yang Cui returned her words verbatim.
Wang Mengyun was so angry she almost died on the spot.
She can't forget Lin Shikang, but that doesn't mean she can accept that her husband has many women!
Besides, she's pregnant now, so she has to think about her child's future!
Wang Mengyun, barely suppressing her anger, said, "Madam Cen, are you still hung up on your ex-husband, Lin Tanhua, by targeting me like this? General Cen has been so good to you, how can you face him? Since you can't forget Lin Tanhua, why don't you let him marry Miss Qiu?"
“Madam Gu, I think you’ve got it wrong. It’s not that my wife won’t let me marry, but that I myself don’t want to marry,” Cen Xiao said. “I see that Madam Gu is so free that she even has time to meddle in other people’s family affairs. I’ll send a few more women to the Earl of Yongchang later, and I’ll make sure you’re busy.”
Yang Cui smiled faintly: "Is this what we call 'the wife leads and the husband follows'?"
Cen Xiao looked at Yang Cui with doting eyes: "Of course."
Wang Mengyun felt like her lungs were about to explode with anger!
Why do some people like to stuff women into other people's backyards?
Seeing Cen Xiao and Yang Cui's behavior, no one else dared to speak up for Wang Mengyun and Qiu Mingxuan, fearing that these two would also send women to their husbands. There were already enough women in the house; if a few more were sent, there would be even more infighting. Wouldn't that be exhausting?
"Yang, are you really unwilling to grant Xuan'er's wish?" Qiu Tianyun asked.
Yang Cui said, "Godfather, instead of wasting your time, you should find a renowned doctor to cure her illness as soon as possible. If you want to use public opinion to pressure us and force us to agree, then you are mistaken. I, Yang Cui, am not afraid of bearing a bad reputation!"
At worst, I can go back to my hometown and farm.
Anyway, she already has enough wealth to live a life of luxury here.
"Then I'll kneel here until you agree!" Qiu Tianyun was determined to force Yang Cui and Cen Xiao to agree.
His daughter is about to die, so why are Yang Cui and Cen Xiao living so comfortably?
It would be best if Cen Xiao agreed to his request, but if not, his actions today would still cause trouble for the couple and ruin their reputation.
Although Yang Cui had said she wasn't afraid of being infamous, Qiu Tianyun's attitude still angered her.
Cen Xiao gently patted the back of her hand, signaling her to calm down.
Immediately, Cen Xiao stepped forward and said, "Godfather, are you trying to force me to expose Qiu Mingxuan's actions to the public?"
Do you think I have any evidence?
If everyone knew that Qiu Mingxuan was the one who harmed my wife, who do you think public opinion would lean towards?
At that time, people won't say my wife is vicious, cold-hearted, and jealous; they'll only say Qiu Mingxuan is vicious and cruel, and they'll say you've failed to raise your daughter properly. They'll even ask where you got the nerve to coerce the victim!
