Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 310 The Truth
"Because, thirty years ago, I was the one who gave Master the root-breaking powder. Master, don't you remember that the Qi-boosting soup I cooked at that time tasted very good?

Old Madam, it was you who ordered the maid to deliver the Qi-replenishing soup to the master's study those days.

After that, she asked me to cook some every once in a while.

I bought it from a quack, and it cost me ten taels of silver. Oh, that ten taels of silver was my monthly allowance for two months after I entered the Gu Mansion." Aunt Tang said this with a distressed look on her face.

"Mei Tang Qiu, why did you do this?" After hearing this, Ma angrily stepped forward and slapped Aunt Tang in the face.

Aunt Tang's cheek immediately turned red. She raised her hand and gently touched it, still smiling, looking at Gu Tongfan and said with a smile: "Why do you do this? The old lady can ask your son, Master Gu.

Back then, I, Tang Qiumei, had been married for half a year and had just gotten pregnant. Although my life with my husband and his parents-in-law was poor, it was warm. Your husband fell in love with me at first sight on the street. Your good son is so filial.

She used her power to frame my husband for accepting salt from the government, had him arrested and thrown into jail, and threatened me with his life and the lives of my parents-in-law.

I am a weak woman from the common people, how can I compete with your son? I begged him to wait until I gave birth to my husband's child before coming to Gu Mansion, but he refused.

The people he sent forced me to drink a bowl of medicine, and my child was gone.

Then, I got the divorce letter and was taken to the Gu Mansion.

I thought that he would fulfill his promise and release my husband, but in the end, I learned that my husband died in prison.

The parents-in-law could not bear the shock and fell ill one after another and died with hatred in their hearts.

Minister Gu, Lord Gu, please tell me yourself, how can I, Tang Qiumei, let go of such a deep hatred so easily?
I don’t know whether you, Lord Gu, are too careless or too confident. You used such means to send me into the mansion, so why didn’t you always be on guard against me?

At the beginning, I was thinking about finding an opportunity to kill you, sir.

But later I changed my mind, thinking that it would be too easy for you. What about the lives of my unborn child, my husband who died in vain, and my parents-in-law who died in hatred? And my entire life. How can they be offset by your one life?
Sir, aren’t you a filial son? Since you are so filial to your father, I will do my best to fulfill your filial piety towards your father.

First, I let the master drink the root-cutting powder, and later, I helped your father to have affairs with the master's wives and concubines one by one.

Your Excellency's wives and concubines, also women, knew what had happened to me, but they had no sympathy at all and even spoke sarcasticly to me. So, I didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt towards them.

"Mr. Gu, you let me enjoy the fine clothes and delicious food of Shanggu Mansion. The gift I give in return is generous enough, right? Hahaha!" Tang Qiumei laughed at the end, and she burst into tears while laughing.

"Crazy woman, damn it." Gu Tongfan was stunned after hearing these words. He never expected that the root of everything was this woman.

Gu Tongfan recovered and stretched out his hand to Tang Qiumei with a ferocious face, pinching her neck and gritting his teeth. I thought of so many possibilities today, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

Tang Qiumei did not resist or struggle at all. There were tears in the corners of her eyes and a smile on her lips. Soon she died.

Gu Tongfan looked at the woman in his arms, motionless and without breath, before he let go. Tang Qiumei fell to the ground with her eyes bulging but a smile on her face, which looked very strange.

"Fan'er, you heard it too. It's not all your father's fault." Ma came to her senses and cried while shaking her son's arm.

"Don't you blame your father entirely? Does mother mean to blame me, her son?" Gu Tongfan asked with a miserable smile.

How high was his official rank at that time? His father, who never gambled or visited prostitutes, rarely told him that he liked a young woman, so of course he had to satisfy his father.

He originally thought that it could be solved by spending some money, but who could have thought that the family was so stubborn that they didn't know what was good for them and even turned around and scolded him for bullying others.

How could a young and hot-tempered man endure this? If he couldn't even handle a few ordinary people, what was the point of being an official?
But when Tang Qiumei first entered the mansion, he ordered people to keep a secret eye on her to prevent her from taking any revengeful measures. The servant who was responsible for watching her said that she cried a few times when she first entered the mansion and when she learned of the death of her husband and parents-in-law, but she became normal afterwards.

After that, she began to pay attention to dressing up, and started to act coquettishly and ask for favors from her father, such as rouge, powder, jewelry, silver and money.

It was precisely because of her behavior that Gu Tongfan felt that Tang Qiumei had begun to enjoy her wealth and glory in peace, so of course he didn't need to keep an eye on her anymore.

Now that I think about it, this sinister and cunning woman must have done it on purpose. She had been preparing for revenge since then!

Facts have proved that she succeeded!
Those who were awake on the ground, as well as the wives and concubines who had woken up one after another, had already understood from the conversation between the two people that the master was attacking them today because he knew about the ugly things that had happened in the past.

The five women's faces were pale, and those who had been beaten with the sticks even forgot the pain in their bodies.

Several people wanted to tell the master that they were wronged, but no one had the courage to speak.

Because, it was indeed an injustice in the beginning. The first time I slept with the old man, I was caught off guard and drank the sweet soup made by Aunt Tang. Who could have thought that it contained medicine that aided sex between men and women.

She was conscious and felt ashamed and guilty afterwards, and even wanted to commit suicide. However, Tang Qiumei advised her that it would be a waste of her life because her master was a filial son, and even if he knew about it, he would only vent his anger on her, and it might even bring trouble to her family.

Moreover, Tang Qiumei would lie, for example, she would tell Tian that Yu and Qi were also getting along well with the old man, and they seemed to be fine, didn't they?
This kind of thing is shameful and shameful, so it is naturally difficult to find others to confirm its authenticity. In those years, the master was busy with various things, busy with making political achievements, busy with getting to know and curry favor with his immediate superiors, and busy with making money. He was so busy that sometimes he would rest in the study when he returned to the mansion. Even if he had five wives and concubines, he would share the spoils equally, and it was considered a lot for each woman to spend two or three nights in his room every month.

It may also be because his busy schedule has affected his health. He is not very persistent in bed. Every time he just wants to feel comfortable and doesn't care about their feelings at all.

The old man is different. He is not old and plays chess, reads books, fishes and drinks nourishing soup every day.

The key point is that the old man is very skilled in sex, and he can make them feel the beauty of sex every time. He is more romantic than the old man, and gradually, they become addicted to it.

Not all five of them were drugged and fell into the quagmire by Tang Qiumei alone. Only Tian and Yu were involved first, and later it was Tang Qiumei who said that it was safest to drag the other three into depravity together.

Tian and Yu thought what they said made sense, and so the two victims joined forces to become perpetrators.

They also gradually calmed down from their initial anxiety and fear of being discovered.

The main thing is that the old lady knew about this. Although she was annoyed, she was timid and cowardly and dared not do anything. Instead, she helped to cover up the scandal.

It is also because of this that those years were peaceful.

Six or seven years ago, the old man's health had deteriorated and the affair between the five of them and him had finally stopped.

It was precisely because of this that when the master ordered Mrs. Tang to beat them with a stick, they did not think about that matter.

So many years have passed peacefully, who would have thought that the master still knew about it!

Now, the master is furious, and begging for mercy is probably useless. I don’t know how the master will deal with them.

Are all the children the old master's? Was the master given a root-cutting drug by Concubine Tang? Is this possible? But, think about it, the master used to stay in my room every month before, so I have no idea whether the child is the old master's or the master's!

They probably won't be thrown into a pig cage, and it's unlikely that all five of them will be beaten to death. The master still has to find a way to save his face.

The silence in the hall was suffocating.

Gu Tongfan looked at the dead body with bulging eyes and a smile at his feet, then looked at his mother who was slumped beside him, looking at him helplessly, his father who didn't dare to look him in the eye, and his five wives and concubines who were pale and terrified.

Gu Tongfan, who is nearly 50 years old, felt deeply frustrated for the first time. Even if Tang Qiumei was seeking revenge and set up a trap to drug them, that was not a reason or excuse for them to keep making mistakes!

The truth is known and he no longer wants to know the specific details. What should he do next?

…………

In the Wei residence, Hong Xiaoduo told her roommate Kaiyang a mythical story about Ma Liang, who had the magic brush. Then she snore and fell into a deep sleep. She hadn't slept in recently and was really sleepy.

Wei Junpei and his wife also went to bed. They were a little tired after entertaining guests all day.

Just as I was about to go to bed, I heard a knock on the door, a bit hurried.

Wei Junpei felt nervous and got up quickly.

"Sir, someone is coming from the palace." As the door opened, the doorman told nervously.

When he saw that it was the eunuch Fu who had come in the morning, he didn't dare to let him wait outside and quickly led him to the front hall.

"What is he doing here now?" Wei Junpei muttered to himself as he hurriedly put on his clothes, shoes and socks and went to the front hall.

When I entered the front hall, I saw that it was really Eunuch Fu. Just when I wanted to ask what was going on, I saw a man beside Eunuch Fu turned around and was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty, your humble servant pays homage." After realizing what was happening, Wei Junpei lifted his robe and knelt down.

Emperor Jiade nodded and said, "Minister Wei, please excuse me. Stand up and speak."

As Wei Junpei stood up, he was still wondering in his heart why this person suddenly came to his house?

A quarter of an hour later, Hong Xiaoduo was awakened by a knock on the door.

I thought I was dreaming, but when I opened my eyes and heard Qi's voice, I quickly got up and opened the door...
