Chapter 121 Knock on the door
Chapter 121 Knock on the door
Zhu felt like the sky was falling. Her husband had been keeping a mistress without telling her, and their son was already a month old?
No, this is not true.
They have a good relationship. She gave birth to a son and a daughter. It's not like she doesn't have a son. How could her husband keep a mistress without telling her?
Zhu tried hard to comfort herself.
Seeing that Zhu looked unhappy, the old lady frowned and said, "Lady Lan, since there is something fishy about the fire in your yard, we need to investigate it thoroughly.
If there really was a traitorous servant who did this, then he should be beaten to death and thrown into a mass grave."
Oh, I hope that when she finds out who is behind this, the old lady will still insist on letting her be beaten to death.
The old lady wanted to change the subject, but Xie Lan refused to let her do so.
"Grandma, today is Uncle San's son's full moon party, and since we all know about it, it would be bad for us not to express our gratitude.
Since we are all here, let’s go and congratulate Uncle San together.
Let's also take a look at what kind of beautiful face our Third Uncle's mistress has. She has bewitched Third Uncle to such an extent that even Third Aunt doesn't take her seriously anymore."
Xie Lan's words were like a thousand arrows piercing her heart, leaving Zhu in agony.
Xie Lan sneered secretly, it’s right to feel pain.
The old lady's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. "What nonsense are you talking about, little girl Lan? Your Third Uncle and your Third Aunt have a good relationship. Besides, your Third Uncle is too busy with the affairs of the Imperial Hospital, so how could he have the time to keep a mistress?"
"Grandmother, as the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his mother. Did you really not know that Third Uncle had a mistress and even had a child?"
The old lady really didn't know about it at first, but on the day when Xie Dahe gave birth to his concubine, he was so happy to see that he had another son that he couldn't help but tell the old lady secretly.
Seeing Zhu staring at her, the old lady blurted out subconsciously, "I don't know."
Although the old lady's face did not reveal anything, Zhu had lived with her for many years and could still hear the guilt in her words.
Zhu instantly even resented the old lady. She had treated this old hag as her own mother, but she had hidden such a big thing from her.
"Girl Lan, how do you know that your third uncle really has a mistress?" Although she guessed that what Xie Lan said was true, Zhu still held on to a glimmer of hope.
"Third Aunt's face shows that you are going to be a legitimate mother. Since you haven't given us a little cousin, it must be that Third Uncle's concubine gave birth to a son.
If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see it?"
Xie Lan's words were equivalent to grasping Zhu's weak spot.
Now that she knew her husband had a mistress, how could she bear not to go to his house and beat him up?
Seeing Zhu following Xie Lan with hatred on her face, the old lady became worried and hurriedly chased after her.
When something happened to the third house, Mrs. Peng and Mrs. Liu enjoyed watching the joke and naturally didn't want to miss it.
Following the guidance of the hexagram, Xie Lan led a group of people to find a house with four entrances.
The old lady was anxious and wanted to persuade Xie Lan and Zhu to go back. "Lan girl, how could your third uncle be here? This is a four-story house. If we make a mistake, he will not let us go."
Xie Lan ignored the old lady's words. He gestured to Tiechui, and the girl kicked the closed door open.
Zhu couldn't wait to rush in. The servant in the house heard the noise of kicking the door and rushed over with a bad look on his face, trying to drive them out.
But they were kicked away one by one by Tiechui.
Xie Lan comforted Zhu in a caring manner, "Don't worry, Third Aunt, I'm here, no one can stop you today."
But her consolation not only did not make Zhu happy, but made her even more upset.
This damn girl dared to let Tiechui beat someone so unscrupulously, which shows that she was sure that this was the private residence where Xie Dahe kept a mistress.
With Xie Lan and his servants escorting them, the group entered smoothly.
There weren't many people in the inner courtyard. Although there were only three tables of guests, the dishes on the banquet were extremely rich. A couple dressed brightly and beautifully were toasting the guests with a smile on their faces. Next to them was a woman dressed as a nanny, holding a plump white child in her arms.
This scene deeply stimulated Zhu.
"Xie Dahe, I worked hard to give birth to your children, take care of your chores, and serve your mother for more than ten years. You didn't even show any gratitude, and you kept a mistress without telling me and let her live in a big house.
You are such a heartless person, can you be fair to me?"
The servant was knocked unconscious by the hammer, and Xie Dahe didn't even know that everyone from the Xie Mansion had come to his door.
Hearing what Zhu said, he was shocked and panicked, "Madam, why are you here?"
"If I hadn't come, how would I know that you were bewitched by a vixen!"
When Yao Peishan saw Zhu, anger flashed in her eyes. Today was her son's full moon banquet, but this woman came to her door. It was really bad luck.
Although she was angry, Yao looked weak and frightened as she pulled at Xie Dahe's sleeve, "Husband, is this Sister Zhu?"
Seeing that his beloved was scared, Xie Dahe patted her hand comfortingly and said, "I'm here, don't be afraid."
This scene of affection between the two deeply hurt Zhu's heart.
He rushed over like a madman, wanting to hit Yao, but was protected by Xie Dahe.
When Xie Lan saw it, he immediately became unhappy.
She brought a large army to the door, but she wanted to make the third uncle and the third aunt become enemies, and the wives and concubines fight to the death.
Xie Lan glanced at Tiechui, signaling her to break up the fight, "Hey, Third Uncle and Third Aunt, it's such a happy day, how can you start a fight in front of so many guests?
Hammer, go and stop them."
Hearing Xie Lan asking the maid for help, Xie Dahe felt relieved.
But before he could be happy, he found that the hammer not only did not help her stop Zhu, but instead broke his grip on Zhu.
Without his obstruction, Zhu immediately grabbed Yao and started fighting.
Yao originally wanted to take a few beatings to win Xie Dahe's sympathy and make him dislike Zhu even more.
It was obvious that Zhu was scratching herself like crazy, but Xie Dahe did not come to help her. Yao was also very angry, and she did not care about pretending to be weak anymore, and she also grabbed Zhu's hair with her backhand.
Seeing that the two men finally started fighting, Xie Lan was satisfied in his heart, but he pretended to stop the fight on his face.
"Aunt San, calm down. After all, today is the full moon banquet. Even though the child is not your own, he should at least call you mother.
It's a good thing that you have one more son."
“Yao, my third aunt came to your house and ruined your son’s full moon banquet, although it was wrong.
But as a concubine, you have bewitched my third uncle to the point of being crazy about him. Even though I bought you such a big house, you actually dared to fight with the main wife. That's a bit too arrogant.
It seems that my Third Uncle dotes on you quite a bit. Are you trying to persuade him to divorce Third Aunt so that he can make you his legal wife?"
It would have been better if Xie Lan had not tried to persuade them. This made Zhu and Yao even more furious, and they both wanted to kill each other immediately.
Seeing Zhu and Yao fighting like crazy, Xie Dahe was so angry that he wanted to strangle Xie Lan to death.
She wasn't trying to stop the fight; she was clearly adding fuel to the fire.
Xie Lan sneered, it’s right to be angry.
Since you dare to plot against her money, then enjoy her revenge.
If she doesn't let the three wives and concubines fight to the death, how can she justify the good things that were burned in her warehouse?
