I was a conman in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 341 So Sour It's Unbearable

Chapter 341 So Sour It's Unbearable

The courtyard was quiet, but the sound of slaps echoed in the air.

Wu Sangui suppressed a laugh and looked at Wang Wenzhou kneeling on the ground with amusement.

In no time, Wang Wenzhou's face was swollen from Liu Rushi's slap.

Liu Ru was furious. The pain of childbirth was the most excruciating of all, and she had given birth to her enemy's child, a son at that. And her enemy, well, he was a womanizer, taking four concubines in just two months. Moreover, Gao Guilan had secretly reported that her enemy was having affairs with two young women captured from the grasslands by the Qing Dynasty. That was bad enough, but her enemy also frequently slept with policewomen—this was truly intolerable!

"Slap! Slap! Slap!" Wang Wenzhou felt his face burning hot. This couldn't go on!

Wang Wenzhou grabbed Liu Rushi's leg and pleaded, "Rushi, Rushi, please give me some face. Look, so many of my underlings are here. If you hit me like this, how am I supposed to lead my underlings in the future?"

"Hoo..." Liu Rushi took a deep breath, pointed at Wang Wenzhou and said coldly, "Fine! I'll give you face. You! Bring your little bitches and come inside with me!"

After Liu Rushi finished speaking, she turned and went into the house.

Gao Guilan quickly helped Wang Wenzhou up, gently touching his swollen face, and said with heartache, "Uncle, Uncle, does it hurt?"

Wang Wenzhou said with a wry smile, "How could it not hurt! Little Lanlan, tell me, why is your sister Ruru so angry?"

"Hmm?" Although Gao Guilan was naive and innocent, she would not admit that it was because of her tattling that she had to shift the blame onto Wang Ying and the others.

Gao Guilan pointed at Wang Ying and the other babies and said, "It's them! Sister Liu Rushi asked them to serve tea, but they didn't!"

"Sigh..." Wang Wenzhou sighed. Back in Hanshan, he had finally managed to harmonize the relationships between the babies, but unexpectedly, after arriving in the capital and taking in a few more babies, they started fighting again. This is unbearable! He had just been extorted by that bastard Zhu Youjian, and now he was dealing with this annoying situation.

"Xiao Lanlan, you come inside first. I'll teach them a lesson. It's outrageous! They didn't even serve Ruru tea!" Wang Wenzhou said in a serious tone.

"Hmm!" Gao Guilan nodded, pointing at Wang Ying and cursing, "Especially that slut! She cursed the most nasty things. She called Sister Liu Rushi a prostitute and even called me the daughter of a traitor!"

"Good girl, Lanlan!" Wang Wenzhou patted Gao Guilan's bottom and urged her roughly, "Go inside first."

"Mmm!" Gao Guilan, like a victorious little female dog, wagged her tail and skipped into the house.

Wang Wenzhou pointed at the crowd in the courtyard and ordered, "What the hell are you all standing there for? This is my family matter! Every single one of you is responsible for my family matters, so don't go around talking about it. Get the hell out of here!"

"Yes, sir!" The crowd couldn't help but laugh, covering their mouths and running away.

Wang Wenzhou rushed to Wang Ying, hugged her, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, give me some face. It's just tea! There's always a first-come, first-served rule! Besides, Ru Ru has been wronged these days. She was kidnapped and then spent more than a month in jail. You're older, so please be considerate of her. What's wrong with giving in a little?"

"Hmph!" Wang Ying sneered, saying irritably, "When I was in the palace, I only bowed to His Majesty!"

"Pfft..." Wang Wenzhou felt like crying. Ru Ru Bao was acting like a madwoman, hitting and scolding him. His sister-in-law was also disobedient, and her words were so harsh that they could kill someone.

"Sister-in-law! I'm begging you!" Wang Wenzhou pleaded, hugging Wang Ying.

Chen Yuanyuan walked over, gently stroked Wang Wenzhou's swollen face, and asked softly, "Wang Wenzhou, does it hurt?"

Wang Wenzhou said, both amused and exasperated, "It's so swollen! How can it not hurt!"

"Oh dear!" Chen Yuanyuan retorted sarcastically, "Anyway, I wouldn't bear to slap the man I love! General Wu, tell me, have I ever hit you?"

Wu Sangui's face turned pale with fright. "Grandma! Wang Wenzhou, that madman, has suffered such a great injustice and lost so much face, and you're saying this to me! Aren't you just instigating Wang Wenzhou to torture me?!"

"General Wu! Where are you going? Come here!" Chen Yuanyuan said in a commanding tone.

Wu Sangui, with a mournful face, walked over, knelt down, and asked, "What are your orders, Madam?"

"General Wu!" Chen Yuanyuan wiggled her hips and asked in a coquettish voice, "Have I ever hit you?"

"No!" Wu Sangui quickly shook his head.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!" Wang Wenzhou slapped Wu Sangui several times, kicked him in the chest, and cursed, "You son of a bitch! Luckily I had the foresight to castrate you, otherwise you would definitely be cuckolding me. I'm warning you, stay away from my baby, get lost!"

Wu Sangui scrambled to his feet and ran away without looking back. "Grandma, please don't do that again next time! I still want to live!"

"Sister-in-law, please!" Wang Wenzhou knew that if he wanted these babies to obey, he had to persuade Wang Ying first.

"How can you beg like that? He's even groping people! When you beg, you kneel down!" Wang Ying was jealous, her heart aching terribly! Ever since Wang Wenzhou first forced himself on her, and until he finally won her over, she had gradually fallen in love with him. A famous female writer once said that to conquer a woman, you must first conquer her body, and Wang Ying was truly conquered by Wang Wenzhou.

But Wang Wenzhou's behavior today truly shocked Wang Ying. She felt that in Wang Wenzhou's heart, she was a plaything and Liu Rushi was a precious treasure, like the bright moon and the stars. Tragically, Liu Rushi's baby was the "treasure" in "precious treasure," while her baby was a "worldly treasure."

"Sister-in-law, please stop! I beg you!" Wang Wenzhou quickly kissed her.

After the kiss, Wang Ying said sourly, "Oh my! Some people kneel down with just a gentle scolding from one of them. Others beg me and even get handsy! We're both women, why is there such a big difference in treatment?"

"Thump!" Wang Wenzhou immediately knelt down, hugged Wang Ying's leg, and pleaded, "Sister-in-law, please, Ru Ru just gave birth and may have some postpartum depression. Please don't take it to heart."

"Sister! We can't serve tea to that little bitch!" Chen Yuanyuan said angrily.

“Yes! That’s right!” Wen Liandie immediately added, “That little bitch is a courtesan, while we are all daughters of officials. How can we serve tea to a courtesan?”

“Sigh…” Sun Rurui sighed. She felt that she was just a plaything that Wang Wenzhou had bought with money for a moment of fooling around. The reason she followed Wang Ying and the others was just to fit in and not to be ostracized.

"Babies, babies! You have no idea! I'm so miserable!" Wang Wenzhou cried out, sobbing, "Today, that bastard Zhu Youjian extorted me! Most of my life's savings, earned through half a lifetime of hard work, were handed over! Worth at least thirty million taels of silver!"

"Huh?" Wang Ying and the others were shocked. They knew Wang Wenzhou was rich, but they didn't know he was this rich!
