Thanks to Yang Cui and Cen Xiao's efforts, the news of sending sisters to Wang Mengyun spread far and wide.
Yang Cui even declared that if anyone dared to say she was selfish and stingy, she would send beautiful women to their husbands, asking them to set a generous example. She had plenty of money to buy ten or eight Yangzhou "slender horses," so she asked, "would you like to have a few more sisters?"
You don't know the pain until it happens to you. Now that Yang Cui has pulled this stunt, all those who stood on the moral high ground and accused Yang Cui of being cold, selfish, and petty have fallen silent.
Now they are all watching Wang Mengyun make a fool of herself, and waiting to see the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion make a scene.
Wang Mengyun was almost furious!
“Madam, getting angry will harm your health. Right now, your most important task is to protect the young master in your womb,” the head maid, Ziyu, advised.
"But I just can't swallow this!" Wang Mengyun said angrily. "That Qiu Mingxuan is really useless; she can't even handle a country woman!"
After pondering for a moment, Wang Mengyun instructed Ziyu: "Have someone spread the word that Yang Cui still has feelings for Lin Tanhua, so she's deliberately targeting me, thinking that I ruined her marriage with Lin Tanhua..."
...
These rumors started circulating the next day, but only on a small scale, mainly because people didn't believe that Yang Cui still had feelings for Lin Shikang.
Given the choice between a poor and heartless third-ranking scholar and a tall, handsome, and powerful general, even a fool would know which to choose...
Moreover, Cen Xiao even voluntarily married into the family. With such an outstanding man going to such lengths, what woman would be foolish enough to still think about that scumbag Lin Shikang?
Although the rumors only circulated on a small scale, they still reached Yang Cui's ears.
There's no need to investigate; we can already tell who did it.
Yang Cui was truly exasperated. Couldn't they just settle down for a day? They were married and had a husband, couldn't they just live a peaceful life?
Since you enjoy playing so much, let's go big!
Then soon a different voice emerged, saying that Wang Mengyun still had feelings for Lin Shikang, which was why she kept causing trouble for Yang Cui.
Following that, the cheesy love poems exchanged between Wang Mengyun and Lin Shikang were published one by one and even printed and sold as a book.
Lin Shikang and Wang Mengyun were both quite talented writers, and their love poems attracted the attention and appreciation of many scholars.
Wang Mengyun was furious, but Gu Minghua was even angrier.
Even though he knew that Wang Mengyun and Lin Shikang had nothing going on, and that Wang Mengyun was still a virgin when she married him, he still felt like he was being cheated on because he could hear people talking about his wife and Lin Shikang all the time.
Of course, this is only one aspect. Another aspect is that he was ostracized by Cen Xiao, the Su family, the Chen family, and the Guo family in the imperial court today.
These families are no less powerful than the Gu family, and Chen Shaoyun and Cen Xiao are deeply trusted by the emperor. How could someone like Yongchang Earl, whose fortunes are beginning to decline, possibly offend them?
Gu Minghua threw the collection of love poems he had bought at Wang Mengyun's face... "Wang Mengyun, have you had enough of your good life?"
"Master, this is Yang's doing, you know that. Nothing happened between me and Lin Tanhua!"
"You've completely disgraced me! That Yang woman even dared to embarrass Qiu Tianyun. She's just a countrywoman who's been married twice, yet she managed to get Cen Xiao to marry into her family. Do you think she's someone you can easily manipulate? You idiot!"
After scolding Wang Mengyun, Gu Minghua narrowed his eyes and looked at her: "Can't you forget Lin Shikang?"
Upon hearing this, alarm bells rang in Wang Mengyun's mind, and she hurriedly denied it: "No! Master, you must believe me, absolutely not! I am wholeheartedly devoted to you and to the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion, you must believe me!"
"Then why are you targeting Yang Cui?"
"I wasn't targeting her. I just saw General Qiu kneeling on the ground that day and felt sorry for him, so I said a few words in his defense. Yang Cui holds a grudge against me and is deliberately retaliating against me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Minghua grabbed her by the neck and said viciously, "I don't care what method you use, you have to get Yang Cui's forgiveness, or I'll divorce you!"
