Chapter 1541 Ge Dongqing groans repeatedly
Yuhua was a down-to-earth person, and she couldn't understand. "How could the women in those brothels be daughters of wealthy families? I've passed by the brothel's door and looked inside. They were all heavily made up and glamorous, and you couldn't tell their true colors. It's hard to say whether they were ugly or pretty. Their only advantage was their age, but their every frown and smile was so frivolous. Even a woman like me blushed when I saw them. I don't know what the men who go to brothels see in them."
Lu Siniang snorted, her eyes filled with hatred and disdain. "Those cheap men just like them to flirt and flirt, they just like them to put on heavy makeup, twist their waists and be praised."
Yuhua shook her head, disagreeing. "That's not pretty either. How could a man be so infatuated? Isn't it said that reading makes people wise? It's said that Mr. Ge is a man of great talent and knowledge. How could he be bewitched by the charming Fu Liu? Where did Mr. Ge read all his books?"
Lu Siniang laughed sarcastically, the disgust in her eyes growing. "He's read so much that he's lost everything. But there's one thing you said that's not accurate. Ge Dongqing wasn't simply bewitched by Fu Liu. He's fallen into depravity and indulged in sensual pleasures."
Yuhua felt a sense of justice: "He can't be corrupted, he must be awakened."
Lu Siniang smiled coldly and said disdainfully, "How can you wake up someone who's playing dumb? He's repeatedly tried to repent before the Emperor, but has he changed? This man's words and deeds are inconsistent, his inner self is inconsistent. Not only has he not changed, but he's even worse off. He's already lost the morals and bottom line that a scholar should have."
Yuhua was indignant after hearing this. She was dissatisfied with Ge Dongqing's shameless behavior and felt sad for Lu Si Niang. "I didn't expect that Lord Ge would be such a stubborn person. This is really hard for you, Lu Si Niang. After all, you have been married for several years and live under the same roof. You should at least remember the old feelings. No matter how cruel you are, you can't treat Si Niang like this. Si Niang was married by the emperor. She was married to Lord Ge in a sedan chair. Now he changes his mind and stays away from home at night. How can a place with fireworks compare to home?"
Shang Xi subtly nudged the outspoken Yuhua with her hand, signaling her to stop, but Yuhua couldn't help but speak out, and Shang Xi couldn't stop her at all, so the straightforward Yuhua continued to speak as usual: "How can there be such injustice in the world? Lord Ge abandoned his wife and turned into a bachelor, and continued to live a carefree life from then on. Not only can he live with Fu Liu in Jiao Manlou, but he can also take in several concubines. But did he consider Si Niang? Si Niang is already old now, neither high nor low. If she really leaves this Ge Mansion, who will she marry in the future? Lord Ge has done a lot of harm to people! Why didn't I think he was such a bad person before?"
Shang Xi once again rubbed Yuhua's back with her hands, trying to persuade them to reconcile rather than to separate. Besides, her visit this time had two meanings: one was to apologize on behalf of her son, and the other was to follow orders.
On the day Ge Dongqing was beaten, Wan Lianxing ordered Shang Xi to visit the Ge residence more often to comfort Lu Siniang. The emperor's meaning was very clear. He did not agree with Lu Siniang's divorce. Even though he knew that his arranged marriage had harmed Lu Siniang, who had turned to good deeds, and had delayed her from enjoying Ge Dongqing under the moonlight, Wan Lianxing was determined to stick to his guns on this matter. It was difficult to disobey the emperor's will, so who dared to disobey?
Shang Xi said, "Actually, Uncle Ge is not optimistic about this matter. He may be as cheerful and romantic as before, but his fate with Fu Liu from Jiao Man Lou is probably coming to an end. Their relationship is probably going to be severed. The Emperor has already made his position clear. He won't allow Si Niang to divorce her husband, and he won't allow Fu Liu to enter the Ge Mansion either. So Uncle Ge and Fu Liu are like grasshoppers after autumn, they won't be able to jump for many more days."
Yuhua heaved a sigh of relief for Lu Si Niang upon hearing this. "The Emperor is indeed very perceptive and understands the greater good."
Shang Xi chuckled inwardly. Observant? And understanding of the greater good? Humph, wasn't Lu Siniang's misfortune today all Wan Lianxing's fault? With a single lip, he had brought the two of them together, not even considering whether their lives would last much longer. Wan Lianxing could be considered one of the people who had done so much harm.
Lu Siniang didn't want to tell about her misfortune, nor did she want to discuss with others what happened between her and Ge Dongqing. Every time she talked about it with others, her humiliation increased.
Lu Si Niang does not need anyone's comfort, nor does she need anyone to mediate, nor does she need anyone to give her advice and uphold justice. She and Ge Dongqing have come to where they are today for a long time. Their peaceful coexistence and mutual respect are nothing more than a pretense to save face, not true mutual support and respect.
In the past, the Ge family seemed to be peaceful and harmonious, but that was because the two of them had not yet fallen out with each other. Otherwise, how could Ge Dongqing call Lu Siniang an old woman and Lu Siniang whip Ge Dongqing with a whip? Once the layers of facade were broken, it was not difficult to see that Lu Siniang was pretending to be kind and Ge Dongqing was pretending to be polite.
Since Shang Xi came to see someone, Lu Si Niang would definitely let her see the eye-catching and unsightly Ge Dongqing.
She led the way to the main room. Before they even crossed the threshold, Yuhua grabbed Shang Xi's sleeve from behind and said, "Shang Xi... am I hallucinating? Did you hear that? Why is there someone humming here?"
Shang Xi stood there with one foot in and one foot out of the door. She was not deaf, but had poor hearing. Her old deafness had been cured by 70%, so she had heard Ge Dongqing's groaning sound a long time ago. She came here today with a stiff upper lip. Now that it had come to this, she had to go into the house to see Ge Dongqing. Although he was beaten according to the law, he was still a patient after all. In addition, she had the emperor's instructions a few days ago, so she had to come even if she was very impatient.
Shang Xi patted Yuhua's arm, signaling her not to make a fuss. "It's Uncle Ge who's groaning in pain."
"Oh my God, he's been beaten with a stick for so long. If his injuries aren't serious, he shouldn't be groaning at home. Master Ge... he's too delicate."
Shang Xi didn't dare to say anything. She was already embarrassed by visiting someone. If she said something disrespectful and Ge Dongqing heard it, how could she walk into the door in front of her with one foot in and one foot out? She lowered her voice and said, "That's how polite people are. They can't stand being hit."
Yuhua was about to say something when she saw Shang Xi turned around and followed Lu Siniang into the house.
Just separated by a door, there are two different air pressures inside and outside the house.
Outside, the sky was clear and sunny, and birds were flying back and forth above the eaves, chirping and making a lively atmosphere. But inside the house, the situation was more difficult to describe. Ge Dongqing was moaning in bed, each one louder than the last.
