Bai Zhiyue didn't know all this. She was listening to the news Congcong got from the Gao family.
"Yueyue, when I went there, Cui was still scolding you, and Gao was secretly fanning the flames."
[Who the hell does Bai Zhiyue think she is? She's just a businesswoman, and she dares to hit me!]
He cursed in a vicious tone and tore something in his hands.
[She was given the title of Second Rank Lady by the Emperor because of her limited merits. Even if I don't have much respect in her eyes, the Yue family is a First Rank General, and my sister is at least a concubine of the Emperor. She's completely slapping the Yue family in the face by doing this.]
[I can't let her get away with it. I'm going to have my father teach her a lesson.]
[It’s all my fault that I’m incompetent and have made you suffer]
Congcong said this with his head down, but at the same time he glanced up as if expecting something.
"Then you still treat me like that in front of others. How will others see you? You should help me beat her up."
Cui felt more and more wronged, and she beat Gao Yanyuan while crying.
[There's nothing I can do. You've seen that she shows no mercy at all. Just because the case was heard a little late, she made such a big fuss and even took out the imperial gold medal. How could I dare to touch him?
If I don't let you leave quickly, I don't know what will happen next. This woman is so rude.
You don't know, after you left, I found a group of young men to help you get revenge, but she kicked them all into the pool, and I almost died at her hands.
"What are you talking about? He even hurt my little brother. Humph! She and I are irreconcilable!"
[This woman has her own tricks and the Emperor's backing, so she's probably going to be very difficult to deal with.]
"Hmph, she has her own tricks, don't we? I have my sister in the palace, and my mother and I outside. I don't believe she has the guts to stand up to us. She has the Emperor's backing, and Daddy is the Emperor's most trusted general!"
[It's my incompetence that has me relying on you, Madam.]
Congcong stretched out his wings as if hugging something and stroking it gently.
[Hmph, don't be mean to me anymore!]
He said it fiercely, but his body had already gone limp.
[You are my good wife, how could I bear to be mean to you? I had no choice. How about I apologize to you right now?]
"Ahem, it's not going to be easy to perform later on."
"That's all you saw on your trip? Didn't you come up with anything more useful?"
"Isn't this the same person who's been staring at Gao?"
Is it appropriate for a bird like you to watch these things all day? Bai Zhiyue was speechless, but it was not wrong to stare at the Gao family. What could she say?
"Forget it, I'll go on my own today."
Gao Tingyuan is such a shameless man that he coaxed Cui into this state. The woman was also stupid and helped him exploit her own parents and siblings.
It is obvious that the Cui family is on the emperor's side, but she helped her opponent and did not hit him lightly. Only when all the water in her brain is knocked out can she wake up.
Humph, Gao Tingyuan wants to use the Cui family to deal with me, so I’ll teach him a lesson first!
At night, Bai Zhiyue put the sleeping Doudou into the space, put on her night clothes, and walked through the streets and alleys to find Gao's house.
As a third-rank official in the capital, and a corrupt one at that, the mansion he lived in was naturally large and luxurious. I heard that he had dozens of servants just for cleaning.
The yard is big and needs to be cleaned and tidied every day. It cannot be cleaned well without enough people.
According to Congcong's description, he went directly to Gao Tingyuan's courtyard. Perhaps in order to make Cui Shi completely devoted to him, and also to show the Cui family, he actually only had two maids besides Cui Shi, who only served Gao Tingyuan when Cui Shi was not available, and they were all taking contraceptive pills.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Gao Tingyuan had a New Year's dinner with his parents, Cui, and his son and daughter. He drank a little too much and asked his long-time servant to help him back to the front yard to rest.
When Bai Zhiyue arrived, she didn't find anyone in the room.
"I'm in the wrong place, isn't that right?"
Did he wake up in the middle of the night and go to look for his wife again? No matter what, he should look for it first to see if there is anything he can use.
She searched everywhere, turned the entire house over, but found nothing useful.
"That's impossible. Not only are there no correspondence between him and the King of Chu, there's not even any record of any cases related to his tenure as prefect. How could he be so clean? Is he afraid of being discovered, so he didn't leave any records of any correspondence?"
She went to his study again. There were only a few written poems on the desk. Bai Zhiyue flipped through every book on the bookshelf. They all contained normal content, without any secret meanings, and she didn't find any secret room in the dark room.
"I've met an expert! But being too clean isn't normal. There must be something I haven't found."
She called out to her consciousness, wanting to see if there were any animals nearby.
At this time, a slow, old voice was heard.
"What are you looking for? It seems you've been busy all night."
Bai Zhiyue looked into a landscape rock and saw an old turtle.
"Is there a secret room in Gao Tingyuan's study or bedroom? I want to find some important documents, letters, or account books, hoping to find evidence of his misdeeds."
"No, he never keeps those things at home!"
"Where would he put it then?"
"Are they all in the outer room?"
"You said he has a mistress outside?"
"Yes? He always has. Not only did he have a concubine, he also has two sons and a daughter. Cui was just married to use. That woman is the one he loves in his heart."
I have been in this house for a long time and often heard him complain that Cui was stupid, and could not do this or that well, and even her family members could not persuade her.
From time to time, he would curse the Cui family in the house for not giving him face, looking down on them, and saying that he would chop down their entire family when he succeeded.
He's also an absolute scumbag.
