Chapter 509 It’s such a long time to see each other
"Go quickly."
If Lian Heng knew that his elder sister-in-law was cunning, he would never let her ruin this opportunity, so he took the initiative and ordered the maids and nannies in his yard to tie up the man.
Gu Ruinian closed his eyes tightly, and Xu Zaohua lay face down.
"Oh, the clothes on that female thief look so familiar? They seem like Sister Zaohua's clothes. Let's quickly turn them over and see if it's Sister Zaohua." Gu Taohua was afraid that the old woman couldn't turn them over, so she stepped forward and lifted Xu Zaohua up.
Xu Zaohua closed her eyes.
I wish the mountains would collapse and the earth would crack and bury everyone in this room.
So humiliating.
When everyone saw Xu Zaohua's face clearly, they exclaimed in surprise. The ladies, who were always well-mannered, couldn't help but suppress their exclamations.
"It's really Sister Zaohua. How could Sister Zaohua be a thief? People in our village said that Sister Zaohua had endless silks and headwear to wear after marrying into the Zheng family, so why would she come to the lady's room to steal things?" Gu Taohua raised her head with a blushing face, her pair of innocent big eyes revealing a pure look.
Several ladies looked at Tong Huaqiong. The daughter of the owner of Jufulai was really naive. This was not stealing things, but stealing people.
The eldest lady of the Zheng family sneaked into the Lian family for an affair. What kind of trick is this?
You all have lived long enough to see this.
In an instant, the ladies used their melodramatic imaginations.
Is it possible that Madam Zheng fell in love with the servant of the Lian family and took advantage of the birthday party to have a private meeting with him at the Lian family?
Where is the safest place to have a tryst in the Lian family? Naturally, it is the room of Madam Hua.
You know what, this possibility is really high. Right now the Lian family and the Zheng family are discussing a marriage, so it's normal for the Zheng family's eldest lady to have an affair with the Lian family's servant.
According to rumors, Madam Zheng had a criminal record. It was said that her son was not the posthumous son of Mr. Zheng, but the son of a servant in the family.
But when I think about it, it doesn't make sense. How does this matter involve the Second Young Master Lian?
For no reason, he smashed a hole in the head of Master Lian Er.
It doesn't seem like the Second Young Master Lian would go to defend the family's reputation and uphold justice just because the servant in his family had an affair with Madam Zheng. He has a bunch of shit on his own, so why would he care about other people's dirty affairs?
No matter how much they guessed, they still couldn't come up with a reasonable conclusion. Most ladies' brains were as insufficient as Hua's.
Since you can’t guess it, just wait for the truth to be revealed. Anyway, this is not your own melon, it’s the Lian family’s melon, and it tastes so much better.
There are more astute ladies, such as Han, who has more tricks than holes in a sieve. She has already deduced that the Second Young Master Lian and the First Young Madam Zheng were teaming up to plot against Lian Hengruo.
How vicious.
It's still an act. Maybe this was a joint effort between Hua and her son.
But she heard that because Miss Lian was too capable and didn't want to marry that loser from the Zheng family, it was very likely that the mother and son would join forces to force Miss Lian to marry into the Zheng family.
The presence of Madam Zheng here is evidence.
It's just like shooting oneself in the foot.
Live it!
Han glanced at the ground. She was not familiar with the second young master of the Zheng family, so she mistook Gu Ruinian for him.
Tsk tsk tsk, a widowed sister-in-law and a brother-in-law, how ugly it would be if this got out.
Fortunately, she sympathized with the fact that Madam Zheng was a widow with a child and had no intention of remarrying, so she wanted to help her build a memorial archway to protect them and their child.
If this memorial arch was really awarded, it would be a slap in the face of his son, and even she, a widowed mother, would be surrounded by rumors.
Tong Huaqiong discovered that Han secretly gave Hua a few cold looks.
"Sister Zaohua, wake up. I saw you open your eyes just now. Why did you close them again? I don't believe you stole anything. Explain to your wife that you didn't steal anything. You live such a good life, how could you steal anything?"
Gu Taohua shook Xu Zaohua desperately.
Xu Zaohua closed her eyes tightly, her swollen face felt hot and painful from being fanned by Gu Taohua.
She hated Gu Taohua to death. She knew that Gu Taohua wanted to be an ostrich at this moment, but she still had to wake her up.
How did things turn out like this?
She had clearly mixed a whole fingernail's worth of medicine into the wine, and she had clearly seen Gu Taohua drink that glass of wine with her own eyes. So how come Gu Taohua suddenly jumped up from her weak state when she entered the room, and slapped her to the ground before she could react.
What went wrong?
"Is it Madam Zheng? Don't make a mistake." A lady whispered. This kind-hearted lady had her first contact with Madam Zheng today. She didn't pay attention to her appearance at the banquet and was afraid that she had made a mistake and ruined the innocence of a widow.
"She is really the eldest young lady of the Zheng family." Gu Taohua said, "Sister Zaohua and I grew up together, there is no doubt about it."
"It is indeed the eldest lady of the Zheng family." Han spoke with a cold tone.
The county magistrate's mother has already proven that it is the eldest lady of the Zheng family, so who dares to say it is not the case?
Moreover, most of the ladies had seen the eldest young lady of the Zheng family. Her face was swollen but not disfigured, so she could still be recognized if she looked carefully. Apart from anything else, the red gold hairpin on her head was her signature item, which she wore wherever she went. At this moment, it was loosely inserted in her head.
Hua's eldest daughter-in-law, Tang, was extremely anxious.
She also didn't understand how the eldest lady of the Zheng family could have an affair and sneak into her mother-in-law's bedroom.
She always felt that it was not that simple.
"Madam Zheng, why are you here?" Hua's brain was cramping. Tang couldn't let things get any more chaotic, so she spoke up.
Xu Zaohua said nothing and closed her eyes pretending to be dead.
Hua yelled and ordered someone to tie up Madam Zheng.
No matter whose lady she is, if she dares to hit her son, she will be punished.
The maidservant was about to tie up Xu Zaohua, but was stopped by Tang's eyes.
Everyone looked at Xu Zaohua and ignored Gu Ruinian who was standing beside them.
Gu Ruinian wanted to sneak away quietly.
He was stepped on by Gu Taohua.
"Madam, there is a thief here." Gu Taohua said.
Everyone's eyes shifted from Gu Taohua to Gu Ruinian.
This person is so strange.
Most people thought he was a servant of the Lian family.
Tang was familiar with all the servants in the family. When she saw that it was an outsider, her heart skipped a beat. She knew that this person must have been brought in by the Second Young Master to deal with her sister-in-law. She just didn't know why he was entangled with the eldest lady of the Zheng family.
She couldn't understand why her sister-in-law was always able to turn danger into safety every time she encountered trouble.
She looked at Gu Taohua meaningfully, and even Jufulai's daughter was helping her sister-in-law.
My sister-in-law is so charming.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on Gu Ruinian, Gu Taohua pulled up the clothes on the ground to cover Gu Ruinian's exposed legs.
Everyone's lips twitched.
"Who is this person? How dare he come into my house and steal?" Hua was extremely angry.
Gu Ruinian, like Xu Zaohua, closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.
It's over.
Will the Lian family beat him to death?
Tong Huaqiong exclaimed: "Oh my, isn't this my uncle's son Ruinian? His face was so swollen that I couldn't recognize him."
Gu Taohua heard Tong Huaqiong's exclamation, took a closer look, and shouted, "Oh my god, it's Ruinian, it's really Ruinian. Oh, Ruinian, why are you here?"
Tong Huaqiong made it known deliberately.
It was a foregone conclusion that Gu Ruinian was her nephew. Even if she didn't shout it out now, she would not be able to hide the relationship later. In order to prevent everyone from putting her and Ruinian in the same group, it would be better for her to say it proactively and distance herself from the relationship.
