Chapter 87 Mother and Son's Breakup
The mother-in-law ordered a male servant to rape her widowed daughter-in-law...
If this gets out, it'll be even more outrageous than a brother-in-law and sister-in-law committing adultery.
It will absolutely become a laughing stock in the entire city of Yanjing!
Seeing the little maid trembling as she ran out of the courtyard gate amidst Jia Shi's furious urging, Wang Mama couldn't stop her in time. She could only shout to a rough old woman behind her, "You, go to the study in the front yard and invite the Second Master over, hurry up!"
Granny Chen also realized what was happening and rushed forward to hug Madam Jia's leg, pleading incessantly, "Madam, please spare my eldest mistress! She's had such a hard life, so very hard!"
"We can't invite him! You sent someone to invite him here, do you want to see us mother and son turn against each other?" Madam Jia glared fiercely at Granny Wang, her bloodshot eyes filled with nothing but madness, completely devoid of any reason.
Tired of being bothered by Granny Chen, she ordered someone to pull Granny Chen away and gag her.
Granny Wang pounded her chest and cried out, "My lady! By doing this, aren't you forcing the Second Master to turn against you? If word gets out that you've done this, how will he ever be able to hold his head up again? This is a huge disgrace!"
Jia was taken aback by her words, but soon her hesitant expression turned firm, and she said nonchalantly, "As long as it doesn't get out, isn't that enough?"
She knew her son; he had always been a clean person and couldn't stand dirt.
If Liu Rumei were defiled by a male servant, he would definitely stop thinking about her and would settle down!
She's trying to bring her son back to the right path!
As for the maids, servants, and Liu Rumei present, wouldn't it be enough to either keep them from ever leaving the Sheng family mansion for life or simply kill them?
Unbeknownst to Jia, the expressions of all the servants present changed after she uttered those words.
Jinzhu, who was standing closest to the courtyard gate, gritted her teeth, bent over and quietly retreated. After leaving the courtyard, she ran away without saying a word.
The maidservant chosen by Madam Jia summoned a kind-hearted, honest, and trembling male servant.
Madam Jia glanced at the male servant's tanned face, rough skin, large knuckles, and indelible black grime between his fingers, and finally smiled with satisfaction.
She asked the maid, "What does he do?"
The maid's voice trembled as she stammered, "The...the coachman..."
She burst into tears after saying that.
"Very good." Madam Jia pointed menacingly at Liu Rumei and said to the coachman, "You, go up to her and do 'that' with her right here in the courtyard!"
Granny Wang was so frightened she nearly fainted, stammering, "Madam! Even if you're going to punish Liu Shi like this, at least leave her a shred of dignity! In the courtyard... at least, in the house!"
"Anyway, it's all about making this bitch suffer, what difference does it make whether it's in the courtyard or inside the house?" Jia shouted furiously. "I want everyone to see her act like a slut, to let her know what shame is!"
"But……"
"No buts!" Seeing that the coachman was hesitant to move, Jia Shi personally stepped forward, grabbed the coachman's clothes, and dragged him toward Liu Rumei. "Hurry up!"
The coachman was so frightened that he trembled all over, lost his balance and fell to the ground, leaving a puddle of water beneath him.
In contrast, Liu Rumei remained frighteningly calm, as if she were not the one about to be defiled. She simply stared coldly at Jia Shi with her eyes, as if she were looking at a dead person.
Even a seasoned old woman like Wang Mama was terrified when she saw Liu Rumei's appearance.
Unable to dissuade Jia Shi, and unable to summon any other servants, she decided to give up on relying on outsiders. Anxious and distraught, she rushed towards the courtyard gate, intending to fetch Sheng Huai'an herself.
To her surprise, as soon as she rushed out of the courtyard gate, she saw Sheng Huai'an running towards Qinghui Garden, one hand clutching the hem of his robe, his face ashen.
Overjoyed, she cried out, "Second Master, you've finally arrived... Oh dear!"
The sound stopped abruptly.
Before Granny Wang could finish speaking, she was pushed to the ground by Sheng Huai'an, who was furious. He clearly thought she was in the way, and the old woman was in great pain from the fall.
A surge of anger welled up inside me, but it was quickly replaced by worry.
Granny Wang looked into the courtyard and saw Sheng Huai'an rush to Jia Shi, first kicking away the coachman dressed in plain clothes, and then snatching Liu Rumei from the hands of the rough old woman who was holding her.
No one dared to confront Sheng Huai'an, and everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Meeting Sheng Huai'an's fiery gaze, Jia Shi felt a bit scared, and her anger-blinded mind cleared up somewhat: "You, how did you get here?"
"If I hadn't come, would you have torn the whole house down and made me a laughingstock?" Sheng Huai'an shouted angrily, not knowing how to vent his anger.
how so?
How did his life turn out like this?!
Just a few months ago, his life was peaceful. His mother was kind, his sister-in-law was gentle, and Ye Mingzhu doted on him. But now, his life is a complete mess!
From which day did things start to become like this?
Sheng Huai'an was panting heavily, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Jia Shi. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Mother, what exactly do you want to do? Are you trying to force me to my death?"
"How could that be?" Madam Jia quickly replied, "I... I've always hoped you would get better."
"You want me to be well?" Sheng Huai'an found it amusing and burst out laughing. After laughing, he roared angrily, "If you wanted me to be well, how could you do such an absurd thing?!"
Jia: "I..."
But Sheng Huai'an no longer wanted to listen, nor could he hear what she was saying.
He clenched his fists, like a trapped beast, and hysterically roared at her, "You can't help me, I don't care about you! But at least don't hold me back, okay? Please? I beg you, I'll kowtow to you, okay?"
"You're a terrible manager, you've made a complete mess of the household's businesses. Did I say anything to you? I didn't!"
“You sold your family’s silk shop and got several thousand taels of silver. Less than two months later, you said you had no money left and came to me crying poverty. Did I say anything to you? I didn’t!”
“Over the years, you’ve been like a termite, emptying the Sheng family’s coffers to fill the bottomless pit of your maternal family. Do you think I’m stupid, do you think I don’t know?”
"The Sheng family is only superficially prosperous now; in reality, they're just barely making ends meet! I have no money, and when I go out to socialize, I look like a poor wretch. Nobody looks up to me anymore, do you know that?"
"I've ignored all the things you've done, tolerated your rudeness and recklessness, tolerated your ignorance and incompetence, so why can't you be more tolerant of me?"
"Is it so hard for you to pretend you know nothing about my affair with my sister-in-law? Are you only satisfied when you've driven me to the brink and ruined my future?"
"They say a virtuous wife brings less trouble to her husband, haha, how could my father have married someone like you? If he knew this from beyond the grave, he would probably be filled with regret."
"I really hate it, I hate that you're not mute."
"Even if you can't help me in any way, at least you won't kill me because of your shallowness, ignorance, impulsiveness, and willfulness."
"..."
As he spoke, Sheng Huai'an calmed down from his rage.
Faced with the storm he unleashed, Jia sat dumbfounded on the ground, staring at him blankly. She was no longer the fierce and irritable woman she had been before, and had become somewhat dazed.
"Granny Wang..." Amidst the panicked gazes of the crowd, Sheng Huai'an coldly instructed, "Take Mother back to Rongshou Hall and take good care of her. I will hire a few more maids to serve her, and from now on..."
He said, "You shouldn't leave Rongshou Hall!"
