Chapter 512 Misidentification
Even if the Lian family pushed the blame on Xu Zaohua and Gu Ruinian, they could not stand up to these sharp-eyed ladies.
After everyone discussed it privately, they were able to guess the original situation almost exactly.
Most of the ladies who attended the banquet that day had concubines and illegitimate sons and daughters at home, but it was rare for someone to join forces with her son to destroy the innocence of her illegitimate daughter, as Hua did.
If a concubine's daughter is raised well, wouldn't it also help her own children? If a concubine's daughter is capable, wouldn't it also benefit her own family?
Some ladies even hope that their concubines' daughters will be successful.
Therefore, most people look down upon Hua's behavior.
He even looked down on the Second Young Master Lian.
It is said that the second young master was almost killed by a vase. When he woke up three days later, he could not speak clearly, as if he had returned to the state of a child.
When Tong Huaqiong heard the news, she thought that the Second Young Master might have become stupid.
Lian Hengruo's control of the force was very precise. He neither killed the person nor made the person's life worse than death. I'm afraid that the second young master will never say that the murderer is his half sister.
This time, the Second Young Master's men were completely defeated by Xu Zaohua and Gu Ruinian. I'm afraid that even if these two people escape, they will face Hua's artillery fire.
As for the marriage between Lian Hengruo and the second young master Zheng, no one mentioned it from then on.
Because of the Zheng family's eldest lady, it was already good enough that the two families did not become enemies, and marriage was absolutely impossible.
It is said that Master Lian has said that Lian Hengruo would never marry in her life and would never go to the Zheng family, as a bunch of stinky people would defile his innocent daughter.
Tong Huaqiong hadn't heard any news about Gu Ruinian.
All we know is that Gu Ruinian and Xu Zaohua were handed over to the Zheng family by the Lian family, and nothing good could happen to them once they entered the Zheng family.
I wonder how devastated Mr. Gu and the second wife's husband and wife will be when they hear the news.
Tong Huaqiong knew that Mr. Gu would come to ask for help.
Tong Huaqiong is now the governor of Suifeng Township, the owner of Jufulai, and the guest of honor of Magistrate Liu. Everyone in Pingchuan County gives her some face.
When the time comes, when Mr. Gu comes to beg her with his family, she will definitely be able to send him away. She just doesn't want to waste the time to bother them.
So Tong Huaqiong decided to go to the provincial capital to find some quiet and secluded place.
Anyway, she hasn't been to the pastry shop in the capital for a long time, and the capital also needs to choose a suitable location to open a supermarket.
Tong Huaqiong left as soon as she said she would. Early the next morning, she handed Jufulai to Gu Baishuang and Gu Dashu, and took Gu Taohua with her and asked Nie Xiaofeng to drive the carriage to the provincial capital.
......
It was from Wu Na that Grandpa Gu, Gu Youtian and others learned the news that Gu Ruinian and the eldest lady of the Zheng family were caught in public by the mistress of the Lian family after having an affair while drunk.
The story of Madam Zheng and her childhood sweetheart has been known to everyone these days. Naturally, the people at Wu Ji have also heard about it, but they did not realize that the so-called childhood sweetheart is Gu Ruinian.
There was no way. Grandpa Gu and others had not lived in Qinghe Bay for a long time. Except for Gu Honglian, no one could even associate Madam Zheng and Xu Zaohua together.
There was a teahouse next to Wu Ji, and the people in the teahouse were talking about this gossip a lot. Mr. Gu and others just treated it as the romantic affair of the young lady of a wealthy family in Pingchuan County.
When Old Lady Gu and Jia learned from Gu Honglian that Xu Zaohua was Grandma Zheng, they became excited.
After Xu Zaohua got into such a scandal, let's see how the Xu family can still be so arrogant.
Gu Honglian pondered for a while, and suddenly mentioned that Xu Zaohua had liked Gu Jingzhe since childhood. The so-called childhood sweetheart must be a young man from Qinghe Bay. Which young man from Qinghe Bay could catch Xu Zaohua's eye? Who else could it be except Gu Jingzhe?
"Oh mom, it can't really be the Jingzhe Festival, right?" Gu Honglian said.
"Don't talk nonsense, Jingzhe is not that kind of person. He looks down on Xu Zaohua." Old Mrs. Gu looked very confident, as if she was stupid for giving up the beautiful, rich and beautiful Lu Zhaozhao and going for a widow.
If there is a conflict of interest between Gu Jingzhe and his second grandson, Old Madam Gu will stand on his side without hesitation. But if Gu Jingzhe is dragged into such vile gossip, Old Madam Gu will not be willing to do so.
If it is really Gu Jingzhe, then her grandmother, who is the first in the case, will have face?
There was a gleam of satisfaction in Jia's eyes, she wished that what Gu Honglian said was true.
Gu Honglian went out and heard some gossip and made some new discoveries. She ran back to tell Old Lady Gu, Jia and others. Only Jia and Wei were in the room, so Gu Honglian didn't bother to talk to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and started yelling.
"People outside say that Xu Zaohua's childhood sweetheart is surnamed Gu and came from Qinghe Bay. Could it really be Jingzhe? They say that he is being held at home by the Zheng family. Emma, I passed by Jufulai and met Dashu's wife. She said that her sister-in-law went to the capital city early in the morning. She wouldn't go to the Lu family to rescue Jingzhe, would she?"
Gu Honglian was a little worried. If she told others about this, she, as an aunt, would lose face.
Then how should Fan Tong view her?
Fan Tong is Gu Jingzhe's senior brother, so this matter will definitely reach his ears.
Jia's eyes sparkled with excitement as she said, "That must be Jingzhe. Last time I heard from my second aunt that when Xu Jin was the village chief, he wanted to marry Zaohua to Jingzhe, and Zaohua always had the guts to stop Jingzhe."
Maybe both of them were interested in each other. Xu Zaohua married into the Zheng family because Xu Jin wanted to marry into a wealthy family. Gu Jingzhe had not passed the imperial examination and ranked first in the exam, so naturally the Xu family looked down on him.
How could a couple who are in love be willing to be separated?
Plus Xu Zaohua is a widow, so the two of them are now together behind people's backs.
It must be Gu Jingzhe. I heard everyone say they are childhood sweethearts.
Wei's heart was pounding, and she said, "It can't be Jingzhe, right? We have all seen Jingzhe's fiancée Lu Zhaozhao, a beauty like a fairy, with such a good family background. Gu Jingzhe must be crazy to mess around with Xu Zaohua."
Jia glanced at Wei and wondered what was wrong with this daughter-in-law. Why did she always go against her?
"You know shit. As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a secret lover, and a secret lover is not as good as not being able to steal. Gu Jingzhe cheated on his wife just because he couldn't get Xu Zaohua before. As a man, who would complain about having too many women?" Jia said.
Seeing that Tong Da Jiao rushed to the city early in the morning, Jia was even more convinced that Gu Jingzhe was in great trouble this time.
Wei still didn't quite believe it.
With that kind of temper, if Gu Jingzhe dared to mess around with Xu Zaohua, she would definitely not go to the city to find someone to rescue him.
Is it possible that the old lady went to the provincial capital for her own business? It’s not like she has been there before.
But she didn't dare tell her mother-in-law this.
Jia had been feeling uncomfortable in her heart, but this news made her breathe a sigh of relief and feel refreshed.
Let you, Tong Da Jiao, be proud.
Your son didn't do his job as the first person in the case, but now he has become someone else's adulterer.
He deserved to be caught. According to her, the Zheng family should not let Gu Jingzhe off and it would be best to cut off his roots.
It would be best for the Lu family not to forgive Gu Jingzhe and let him lose the help of this marriage.
Think about my own son Gu Ruinian, who became friends with the noble young master because of an article a few days ago, and has been studying with the noble young master in the home school these days.
Sure enough, after leaving that hellhole of Qinghe Bay, my son got better again.
These days, my father-in-law said that he would take Gu Ruinian back to the village after he returned from the nobleman's place, for fear that he would learn bad things in Pingchuan County.
She will stop him no matter what he says at that time. Gu Ruinian is suitable to stay in Pingchuan, and Pingchuan will bring him good luck.
