Furthermore, Tang Qiumei was good at deceiving people. For example, she would say to Tian Shi that Yu Shi and Qi Shi had also been close to the old master, and they were fine as if nothing had happened.
This kind of thing is inherently shameful and disgraceful, so it's naturally difficult to ask others to verify its authenticity.
In those years, the master was busy with all sorts of things: making political achievements, currying favor with his superiors, and accumulating wealth. He was so busy that when he returned to the mansion, he would sometimes rest in his study. Even though he had five wives and concubines, he treated each woman equally, and it was considered a lot if each woman got to spend two or three nights in his room each month.
Perhaps it was because of his busy schedule that his health was affected, and he wasn't very long-lasting in bed. He was always satisfied as long as he was satisfied, without considering their feelings at all.
The old man was different. He wasn't old, and he spent his days playing chess, reading, fishing, and drinking nourishing soup.
The key point is that the old man was very skilled in bed, and he could always let them experience the wonder of it. He was also more romantic than the master, and gradually, they became addicted to it.
Not all five of them were drugged and led into the mire by Tang Qiumei alone. Only Tian and Yu were drugged first. Later, Tang Qiumei said that it was safest to drag the other three down with her.
When Tian and Yu heard this, they thought it made sense, and so the two, who were originally victims, joined forces to become perpetrators.
They gradually relaxed, going from being initially anxious and afraid of being discovered.
The main thing is that the old lady knew about this. Although she was angry, she was timid and weak and dared not do anything. Instead, she helped cover up the scandal.
That's why things were peaceful for so many years.
Six or seven years ago, the old man's health deteriorated to the point of failing, and only then did the illicit affair between the five women and the old man finally end.
That's why they didn't think about that matter when the master ordered Granny Tang to beat them with a cane.
So many years have passed without incident, who would have thought that the master would find out!
Now that the master is furious, begging for mercy is probably useless. I wonder how the master will deal with them.
Are all the children the old master's? Was the old master poisoned by Concubine Tang with a fertility-severing drug? Is that even possible? But thinking back, the old master had stayed overnight in my room every month before. I have no way of knowing whether the children are the old master's or the old master's!
They probably won't drown them in a pig cage, and it's unlikely they'll all be beaten to death. The master will still have to find a way to save face.
The hall was so quiet it was almost suffocating.
Gu Tongfan looked at the corpse at his feet with its bulging eyes and a smile, then at his mother who was slumped to the side, staring blankly at him, his father who dared not meet his gaze, and his five wives and concubines who were pale and terrified.
Nearly fifty years old, Gu Tongfan experienced a profound sense of despair for the first time. Even if Tang Qiumei sought revenge by setting a trap and drugging him, it was not a reason or excuse for them to make the same mistake again and again!
The truth is known, and he no longer wants to know the specific details. What should he do next?
…………
Inside the Wei residence, Hong Xiaoduo told her roommate Kaiyang a myth about Ma Liang's magic paintbrush before letting out a snoring sound and falling into a deep sleep. She hadn't been able to sleep in lately and was really exhausted.
Mr. and Mrs. Wei Junpei also took a rest; they were quite tired after entertaining guests all day.
I was just about to go to sleep when I heard a knock on the door, and it sounded a bit urgent.
Wei Junpei's heart tightened, and he quickly got up.
"My lord, someone from the palace has arrived," the gatekeeper announced nervously as the door opened.
Upon recognizing the man as the same eunuch Fu who had visited that morning, he didn't dare keep him waiting outside and quickly led him to the front hall.
"What's he doing here now?" Wei Junpei muttered to himself as he hurriedly put on his robes and shoes and headed to the front hall.
Upon entering the front hall, I saw that it was indeed Eunuch Fu. Just as I was about to ask what was going on, I saw someone turn around beside Eunuch Fu and I was immediately stunned: "Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty, this humble subject pays his respects." Realizing what was happening, Wei Junpei lifted his robe and knelt down.
Emperor Jiade nodded: "Minister Wei, you may rise and speak."
As Wei Junpei got up, he wondered to himself why this person had suddenly come to his residence.
Fifteen minutes later, Hong Xiaoduo was awakened by a knock on the door.
Still half asleep, I thought I was dreaming. When I opened my eyes and heard Madam Qi's voice, I quickly got up and went to open the door...
