Chapter 176 Your Aunt Will Beat Him to Death
Chapter 176 Your Aunt Will Beat Him to Death
[Chen Guojiu bullied an illegitimate son of an official, making him crawl like a dog. His aunt witnessed this and stood up for him.]
Little Tyrant faced off against Little Chili. Little Tyrant lost and was slapped. He shouted that he wanted revenge, but in his heart, he developed different feelings for Little Chili.
Whenever she encountered her aunt, she would provoke her, which always angered her and resulted in her being beaten. However, she would secretly send her gifts.
Haha! So the Emperor's brother-in-law has a penchant for being beaten up!
If she hadn't heard his inner voice, Liu Wangshu would never have known that the person who sent her those things was actually Chen Guojiu.
However, she never kept anything that came from unknown sources; even if it was very precious, she would throw it away.
My aunt is no ordinary woman; she has mastered martial arts. When she goes out to train, she meets my uncle. Little Chili falls in love with someone else, while Chen Guojiu's unrequited love ends in failure.
Fortunately, his uncle was Prince Ding, who was of higher status than him; otherwise, he might have tried to steal the bride.
After his aunt married, the emperor's brother-in-law's personality changed drastically, and he had one woman after another.
Liu Wangshu felt many gazes directed at her; it turned out that Chen Guojiu had secretly liked her for so many years.
【No way! System, you're showing me these too?】
What surprised my little sister so much?
The concubines that Chen Guojiu found all looked somewhat like his aunt, and the one he favored the most was the one who resembled his aunt in temperament.
Even in intimate moments, he would only allow his concubine to slap him, after which he would call out his aunt's name.
Liu Wangshu's face darkened. She glanced at Chen Guojiu, her hands clenched tightly, and she really wanted to go over and beat him up.
When Prince Ding looked at Chen Guojiu, his originally gentle and compassionate eyes suddenly turned turbulent.
Oh dear, Uncle Chen is looking at his aunt so provocatively! Oh! So his aunt is looking at him too!
How did the two of them suddenly make eye contact? They really are nemesis. The aunt looks like she wants to punch someone, while the uncle is all smiles.
System, should I tell my aunt about Chen Guojiu's secret intentions?
No need, your aunt would beat him to death.
System: Chen Guojiu is in trouble.
[It turns out that the book "The Romantic History of Chen Guojiu" that I showed my older brother was actually filled with stand-ins for my aunt.]
Ye Li'an felt everyone's gaze and helplessly rubbed his forehead. He hadn't expected that the person the emperor's brother-in-law cherished most was his aunt.
The descriptions inside reveal Chen Guojiu's despicable thoughts; even now, he wants to beat someone up.
The Crown Prince looked at the Liu family members with strange expressions. Although none of them had said a word, their faces all showed the same shock and astonishment.
Looking across at Ye Yaoyao, her expression became even more complex, as did the person next to her, who subtly observed all of this.
The Crown Prince was certain that the Liu family had a secret, and that secret lay with Ye Yaoyao.
After reading about Chen Guojiu's affairs, Ye Yaoyao began to focus on enjoying the food in front of her.
The Liu family warmly welcomed their guests, unaware that a pair of venomous eyes were watching them from a corner.
Seeing that the time was about right, Qin Longyue stood up, walked to the center, and said to the old Marquis:
“Father, I recently met a very talented young man and we had a very pleasant conversation. He has now become a third-ranked scholar in the imperial examinations. I would like to invite you to meet him as well.”
“The third-ranked scholar, I must take a good look at him.”
When Liu Tiansheng heard Qin Longyue mention him, he stood up and walked to her side.
"Liu Tiansheng pays his respects to the old Marquis, wishing him good fortune, auspiciousness, longevity, and everlasting glory."
The old marquis was taken aback when he saw his appearance, but upon hearing the congratulatory words, he laughed heartily and said, "Well done! What a fine third-place scholar! Truly a handsome and talented man."
The guests, clinking glasses and exchanging toasts, all turned to look at Liu Tiansheng.
"I think they look very similar, Mrs. Li. Do you think I'm seeing things?"
"No, I do think they do look alike."
"No wonder Princess Longyue admires the third-ranked scholar. Daughter, do you like the third-ranked scholar?"
One of the ladies became increasingly satisfied with what she saw and asked her daughter beside her.
"Mother! What are you saying in front of everyone?"
Who wouldn't like a talented and handsome scholar? The girl glanced at him and shyly lowered her head.
However, this idea is not unique to any one company.
Xiangrui looked at Qin Longyue's bright smile, her heart filled with hatred, and she stumbled inside.
"Ah! Who is that?" The noble ladies exclaimed in fright.
"How could someone so dirty have broken in?"
The female guests in the banquet hall screamed in fright, creating a commotion.
"My lord, save me! Save this servant!"
Xiangrui knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, which displeased the old Marquis and Madam Liu.
A few days ago, Xiangrui's face was injured by Qin Longyue, and she was forced to kneel for a day until she fainted. She was then carried away and locked in the woodshed.
Today is the old Marquis's birthday banquet. The servants are busy preparing, and as soon as the guards leave, she manages to escape.
She wanted to expose Qin Longyue's wickedness at the banquet, reminding herself that although she was just a maid, she had served Qin Longyue for decades.
Qin Longyue actually tried to kill her because she made a mistake, but luckily she survived.
If things continued like this, she would only die. Thinking that she was going to die anyway, she wanted to expose Qin Longyue's wickedness, ruin her gentle reputation, and reveal her true colors.
Madam Liu angrily rebuked, "We have a full house of guests today, yet she dares to barge in and frighten us. Guards, take her away."
"Madam, why don't you listen to why this maid is here seeking help?"
"Yes! Yes! It seems like they've been wronged."
"The injuries on her face must be quite severe."
The guests, having eaten and drunk their fill, were now eager to watch a performance.
"Why are you calling for help?" the old lord asked.
Xiangrui raised her head, tears streaming down her face, and said loudly:
"My lord, my lady, you must do me justice! The second madam is ruthless. I only accidentally spilled tea on my mistress while serving it."
She then beat and punished the servant, locking her in the woodshed, almost killing her! The servant had served her for over twenty years, and even if she hadn't done anything meritorious, she had certainly worked hard.
The second mistress treats me like this; I have no way to survive. It would be better to sell me off.
Qin Longyue looked coldly at Xiangrui, who was about to ruin her reputation in public.
"Xiangrui, you've been by my side for almost thirty years. Everyone has seen how I've treated you."
I never imagined you would act so arrogantly just because you're my personal maid, committing so many vicious acts in secret. I should have sent you to the authorities.
"Second Madam, I have served you with all my heart and soul. How could I have done anything wicked?"
"She did her best to sow discord between me and my husband, making it impossible for me to get over the pain of losing my son all these years."
"You secretly spyed on my husband, committed countless heinous acts, and harmed so many people. Did you think you could get away with it all?"
Qin Longyue discovered Xiangrui's secret behavior: whenever Liu Yunchuan smiled at a maid, that maid would be in trouble afterwards.
Xiangrui's pupils widened; all of this had been discovered.
"So she was a vicious maid. Princess Longyue has known me for so many years, she would never beat or scold servants in private."
"This servant is too vicious."
