Upon hearing that the voice did not come from Zhu Xinjie, Zhu Kongyue went crazy. Going around the screen, she immediately saw housekeeper Qi and Liu shi, who were still entangled on the bed. Liu shi's eyes were slightly closed, and her cheeks were bright red. With such a large commotion outside, she actually did not hear it. As for housekeeper Qi, he thought that Zhu Kongyue was Chun Tao. Just as he was about to say some more obscenities, he turned his head and saw Zhu Kongyue along with ten or so servants behind her.
He was immediately dazed, as the place that should have been hard immediately softened; however, Liu shi still said: "Why are you so useless?" He then opened his eyes and met Zhu Kongyue's furious gaze for three breaths before letting out a scream.
In the end, the truth could not be contained. News of what had happened in Liu shi's courtyard very quickly spread throughout the Zhu manor. Wang Chuan even personally ran over to the head madam's courtyard. Ignoring the servants' attempts to stop him, he loudly shouted at the door: "Husband! Head madam! Quickly go take a look! Concubine mother Liu and housekeeper Qi were having an affair, and they were seen by eldest young miss! "
The two in the room had just fallen asleep, and they were still in light slumber. They were woken up by Wang Chuan's shout. Zhu Xinjie did not clearly hear what was going on and could not help but ask: "What is the commotion outside?"
The head madam had not fallen asleep; however, she had heard it clearly. Her heart was already blooming with joy; however, her expression was one of disbelief and worry, saying: "It seems that someone is saying that concubine mother Liu and housekeeper Qi are having an affair? How could that be possible? Husband, go back to sleep. This concubine will go out and take a look. Which servant dares to spout such nonsense. Concubine mother Liu gave up on being a good concubine mother. How could she have an affair with a housekeeper? Could it be that in her eyes, husband is inferior to a housekeeper? "
These words were casually said, but in Zhu Xinjie's ears, they were extremely insulting to men. Housekeeper Qi was younger than him by two years. Could it be that he really was better than him?
Zhu Xinjie's heart was filled with anger, as he quickly put on his clothes and followed the head madam out of the room. Outside, when Wang Chuan saw the two of them come out, he hurried forward and roughly explained the situation on Madam Liu's side. Zhu Xinjie flew into a rage and loudly shouted, "You must kill that slut!" Then, he broke into a run and ran outside.
First Madam was also running behind her. She was overjoyed! She just thought that her daughter really did not disappoint. She actually managed to find evidence of Liu shi's crimes. This time, she wanted to see what face Liu shi would have left. No matter how great of a contribution Zhu Kongshan made, it could not compare to what Liu shi had done.
The group arrived at Liu shi's courtyard. Liu shi and housekeeper Qi had already been tied up by Zhu Kongyue. Although she only had women on her side, the old maids were very strong. In addition, Steward Qi felt guilty, so he was tied up in a daze. By the time he reacted and wanted to run, it was already too late. When he lowered his head again, he found that he was kneeling on the bed without any clothes on.
Looking again at Liu shi, there was not much difference between her and him. She was also completely naked and curled up on the bed. She repeatedly muttered: "It's not related to me! He was the one that barged into my room. He was the one that defiled me! I want to file a report. I want to file a report! "
Steward Qi was so angry that he really wanted to raise his hand and slap this slut. Unfortunately, his hands were tied up, and he could not do anything. He could only curse: "Slut! It was clearly you that seduced me. It was clearly you that had that little wench, Chun Tao, call me over. How many times have you seduced me, yet you still dare to say that I was the one that barged into your room? "
Just as he said this, Zhu Xinjie had already brought the head madam in. Upon seeing the situation before them, how could they not understand what had happened. Zhu Xinjie went forward and dragged Liu shi off the bed. Raising his hand, he slapped her a few times across the face. The slaps left the corners of Liu shi's lips stained with blood; however, she was still unwilling to accept it and said: "This concubine was wrongly accused! This concubine was defiled! It was housekeeper Qi that forced his way in. This concubine was powerless to resist! "
"My ass!" Steward Qi was nearly driven mad with anger. Glaring at Chun Tao, who was kneeling on the ground and crying, he loudly said: "Speak, what exactly is going on?"
After Wang Chuan entered, he stood behind Zhu Kongyue. At this time, he spoke up and reminded Chun Tao: "If you speak the truth, you might still have a chance to live. Otherwise, even if master does not die, you will not be able to live."
Chun Tao trembled and knew that no matter how much she spoke up for Liu shi, it would be pointless. Regardless of whether she had been defiled or had taken the initiative, this was the Zhu manor's scandal. Liu shi had already lost her chastity and could no longer be relied on. Chun Tao gritted her teeth and frankly confessed the truth: "Today, husband stayed overnight in the head madam's room. Concubine mother Liu was unhappy and had this servant call housekeeper Qi over with the excuse that the brazier was not hot enough."
"Slut!" Liu shi cursed: "How have I treated you? You actually betrayed me at a time like this? Husband "She leaned toward Zhu Xinjie and repeatedly argued for herself:" Don't listen to this slut's words. She wanted to climb into your bed and was stopped by this concubine many times. That's why she became resentful and spoke so viciously to this concubine! It's not like that at all. Husband, you must believe this concubine! "
"This servant did not want to climb into your bed!" Chun Tao also became angry, "It was concubine mother Liu who said every day that she would become the manor's head madam sooner or later. Third young miss would also become the young miss of the first wife. That's why she said many times that this servant would become husband's concubine. But this servant has never taken it seriously! Husband is wise! Husband is wise! "
Zhu Xinjie looked at this servant and did not listen to what she had to say. He just asked: "Speak! How many times has your concubine mother done this with this housekeeper? "
Chun Tao was stunned and furrowed her brow. She began to think, but after thinking for a long time, she was unable to count how many times.
Zhu Xinjie saw her like this and could not help but become furious once more: "So many times that you can't even count?"
Chun Tao nodded very honestly: "Yes! It's too many, and this servant can't remember clearly. It's probably been since third young miss was five years old. "
Zhu Xinjie nearly fainted from anger. Grabbing Liu shi, he picked up a feather duster from the table and began to hit this woman. The beating caused Liu shi to cry out loudly, and bloodstains began to appear on her body. Zhu Xinjie did not stop and looked like he was going to beat her to death.
Liu shi became anxious and loudly shouted: "You can't beat me to death! I am the younger sister of Her Highness Consort Li and Noble Lady Yuan. I am also the aunt of the Eighth Prince and the Sixth Prince. My daughter, Kongshan, is still in the capital and will soon become the official princess of the Eighth Prince! If you beat me to death, it will not benefit the Zhu family. The Eighth Prince will not forgive you! "
She shouted hysterically, causing Zhu Xinjie to no longer drop the feather duster. Liu shi's words caused Zhu Xinjie to begin to think. That's right! This woman had a large backer behind her. If he really beat her to death, once the capital investigated, even if the fault was with Liu shi, based on the Eighth Prince's personality, he would not let the Zhu family off easily.
Seeing that Zhu Xinjie had stopped and was no longer hitting, Liu shi hurriedly added: "This concubine has served husband for so many years. Even if this concubine has not performed meritorious service, this concubine has worked hard. Even if husband doesn't consider old sentiments, you should think of Kongshan. The Zhu family has no backer. If you want to be promoted, aside from Kongshan, there is no other path for husband to take. Could it be that you are willing to be a sixth rank official for the rest of your life and live in a place like Peng Zhou? Husband! Once Kongshan becomes the official princess of the Eighth Prince, what do you not have? The Eighth Prince is a noble person. Sooner or later, he will accomplish great things. Husband should think more about the future and forget about the present! "
Liu shi was also smart, immediately tossing out such a large temptation to Zhu Xinjie. This caused Zhu Xinjie's heart to itch. The head madam and Zhu Kongyue, who were standing to the side, looked at each other. The head madam wiped away some tears and said with great grief: "Concubine mother Liu, what do you mean by these words? Are you disdaining husband's low rank? Is that why you had an affair with housekeeper Qi? In the end, you are husband's woman. Even if you have the backing of the capital, you should not do such a thing that offends public morals! "
"So what if I did it?" Liu shi glared at the head madam and fiercely said: "You have been the head wife of the Zhu manor for so many years, yet what have you brought to the Zhu family? I can give the Zhu family unimaginable riches and glory. Those are things that you cannot afford no matter what! "
"But my mother will not make father wear a green hat!" Zhu Kongyue could no longer bear to continue watching and said: "Liu shi, there are so many people watching today. Where do you want father to put his face?"
Once she said this, Zhu Xinjie also realized this problem. That's right! Even if he was concerned about the "future" that Liu shi had spoken of, with so many people watching, if he just let it go like this, where would he put his face in the future?
At this time, Zhu Kongyue spoke up: "Liu shi! Don't keep saying that Zhu Kongshan will help the Zhu family. I will tell you that the two servants that went with Zhu Kongshan to the capital have already sent back a letter. Our manor's noble third young miss does not take the Zhu family seriously in the slightest! "
Zhu Kongyue angrily recounted the contents of A-Huan and A-Ruo's letters. After she finished speaking, she asked Zhu Xinjie: "Father, do you feel that there is any hope if you tell her?"
Zhu Xinjie immediately lost all confidence in Liu shi, but he also knew that he could not just beat her to death. What if the capital came to ask for her? There was no way for him to vent his anger, thus he pointed at housekeeper Qi and said: "Go! Chop this person into mincemeat! "
The manor's servants immediately came forward and carried housekeeper Qi away in a flurry. He was a damn servant. No matter how his master cursed or beat him, the power to kill him was in his master's hands!
Hearing housekeeper Qi scream like a pig being slaughtered, Liu shi collapsed to the ground in fear. For a long time, she did not know what to say.
Zhu Xinjie looked at Liu shi and pondered for a while before saying: "Lock this woman in the firewood room. Send her three meals a day as usual. Don't starve to death. As for other things, we'll talk about them at a later time. "
Following Liu shi being sent to the firewood room, this farce finally came to an end. The head madam and her daughter had obtained a complete victory. At this moment, they were holding back their laughter while waiting for Zhu Xinjie's arrangements.
At this time, Zhu Xinjie had also calmed down and coldly ordered: "Nobody is allowed to speak of today's matters. Even more so, seal off any information from the capital." After saying this, he looked toward the head madam: "How to seal it will be left to madam."
The doctor quickly said: "Husband, don't worry. This concubine will take care of these matters. Husband must not be affected by this matter. Your health is most important. "
Zhu Xinjie ignored him and asked Zhu Kongyue: "Those two servants really did have such a letter?"
Zhu Kongyue nodded and immediately ordered Wang Chuan: "Go and bring the letter over."
Wang Chuan left quickly and returned quickly. A-Huan and A-Ruo's letter was very quickly delivered to Zhu Xinjie. After Zhu Xinjie finished reading it, he angrily crumpled the letter into a ball and coldly said: "Liu shi, Zhu Kongshan, the Zhu family really has raised these two ingrates for nothing!"
