Bai Zhiyue walked along the tunnel for more than a hundred meters and found that the road ahead was getting wider and wider. After opening a stone wall, the view suddenly became clear.
The whole place is like a large warehouse, with many wooden shelves. Each shelf has two layers. Some of them hold boxes, some hold various ornaments, and there are also many exquisite porcelains, table screens, and even various high-end silk fabrics wrapped in fine cloth.
I opened a few boxes and took a look. There was gold, silver, pearls, gems, calligraphy and paintings by famous people, and precious pens and inks. It was very complete and the collection was quite diverse.
Haha, no wonder I didn’t see a lot of wealth in Gao’s house. They were all moved here.
He also found a box full of letters from the King of Chu to him, but they were useless. Since the King of Chu was not really plotting a rebellion, the emperor could not do anything to him.
There is also a box of small notebooks, which record who gave what and what he was asked to help deal with. This is solid evidence of corruption and abuse of power.
That’s great. This time I’ve collected it all for him. It hurts and scares him to death.
Bai Zhiyue emptied the entire warehouse without any hesitation, even moving away the shelves. Not to mention that the wood was all good, heavy and durable.
I thought I was going to work in vain today, but unexpectedly I found something good around the corner.
She walked up slowly and was about to exit the tunnel. After coming out of the tunnel, she observed carefully and found that she was in the mistress's yard. The battle in the house had just ended and the servants on duty had been driven out.
"Master, our son is getting married soon. How can we find a wife without an identity?"
"Let him wait a little longer and he'll be fine soon."
"You always say you'll be well soon, Cui is still alive and well, her son is engaged, and the three children in your family are your biological children. I don't even have a proper identity now, so who would marry into a family like mine?"
"Didn't I get him a sixth-rank official? Let him do it first. When I'm done with this, a high-ranking official with good reputation will be within his grasp. Then you can be my wife, and my son will also be promoted. You'll have everything."
"Can't we just get rid of Cui first? The Cui family won't stand on our side anyway, so what's the point of keeping her around?"
"I've already planned how to use her again. This time, I'll let her lead the charge and drag the Cui family into a fight against the Bai family. The Bai family is not someone to be trifled with, and one of us will definitely get hurt.
I'm happy if the Bai family is defeated. If the Cui family is defeated, even better. I'll have made a great contribution to the King of Chu. With the Bai family's help, I might be able to eliminate the Cui family. Even if the Bai family doesn't do it, I'll make her the one who harmed the Cui family.
After this, Cui Shi will not live much longer. You and your son won’t have to wait much longer.”
"Indeed, my good sir, the day has come to pass."
Damn, I thought he was just a scumbag, but he's actually planning to harm both sides. If you dare to put your mind to your aunt, I'll scare the hell out of you today.
Seeing that they were excited and about to start fighting again, Bai Zhiyue had no time to wait. She blew a puff of smoke in, and after counting to ten, there was no movement.
After Bai Zhiyue entered, she painted a turtle on Gao Tingyuan's face with paint, just like the one she had just painted. This kind of paint is difficult to wash off, and it will remain on the skin for at least ten to twenty days.
He also tattooed a few words on his nose and forehead.
"Evil dog official, redress my injustice and give me back my life!"
Painting "vicious bitch" on a woman's face
Even if the tattoos on their faces heal, the marks will remain. Unless he grinds off all the skin, it remains to be seen how he can continue to do evil with such a face.
After doing all this, he wrote down the matter of Gao Tingyuan keeping a mistress and sent it to Cui's pillow. He should focus on his own family affairs. The bigger the fuss, the better. Don't think about causing trouble for her.
Considering that she is stupid and is being used, I won't bother with her.
When Cui woke up in the morning and was about to call for help, she suddenly felt something next to her ear. She reached out to take it and looked at it, and her eyes almost popped out.
“Ah~ah~ah~”
He screamed desperately to vent the hatred in his heart, saying that everything was fake, such as his deep affection, never taking a concubine, and having a son was enough.
"Ma'am, what happened?"
The cry was so shrill that it frightened all the maids and servants into rushing into the house.
"Ma'am, are you having a nightmare?"
"Mammy~ That bastard Gao Tingyuan lied to me. He lied to me for eighteen years~"
In the past, no matter how her family members tried to persuade her, she firmly believed that her husband was sincere to her and was not interested in the power of the Cui family. She also always felt that Gao Tingyuan had suffered a lot for her from her family members, and she always wanted to compensate him.
It turned out that she was really the stupid one. Every time someone made her angry or suffered a loss, she would rely on her status as a general's daughter and a concubine's sister to stand up for him.
Others looked at her and thought she was scared. Her mother called her stupid, but she was still upset. This piece of paper broke everything.
Nanny Xia snatched the letter from Cui's hand and was shaking with anger after reading it.
"Madam, please don't let yourself get hurt by your anger. We can't just let this matter go. I'll send someone to deliver a letter to the General's wife right away."
"No, I will skin that man with my own hands. Go and fetch me a club, and send the servants to the west courtyard."
Although Cui was a bit stupid, she always trusted Gao Tingyuan very much, listened to and believed everything he said, and treated him much better than her relatives from her mother's family. However, her love for him eventually died young.
But at this time, the water in his brain was probably controlled, or perhaps he was stimulated, and he finally had some of the aura of a general's children.
"Hey! Go get it! What are you standing there for?"
Nanny Xia had long seen that the man was not a good person. He would put on an act in front of the Madam. She talked too much, and the Madam was unwilling to listen and even blamed her. This time, she was afraid that the Madam would be sad.
Cui led a large group of female soldiers and rushed to the West Mansion with big sticks. Nanny Xia was afraid that she could not handle it alone, so she found a fast servant to go to Cui's house to report the news.
In fact, although General Cui scolded his daughter for being stupid, he also devoted all his heart to her. The maids and nannies around her were all carefully selected, and he also gave her two maids who were good at martial arts.
Cui herself had learned some of these things when she was a child, but later she met Gao Tingyuan, who always told her that women should be gentle and obedient, and be good wives and helpers, which made her completely lose her original temperament.
Someone broke down the front door. When the doorman saw that it was the lady next door, he knew something bad was going on. The wife had come to catch them in an adultery!
Just when he was about to run to report the news, the people he brought pressed him to the ground and hit his legs with a few sticks. He had to crawl to report the news.
He walked into the main courtyard in a menacing manner, and would beat to death anyone who tried to stop him. No one dared to stop him, so they just ran to report the news.
But the drug Gao Tingyuan used last night was too effective and he hasn't woken up yet.
"Master and Madam are in trouble!"
"Master and Madam Cui are here with sticks. Please come out quickly!"
However, the person inside seemed to be fast asleep and showed no reaction.
