In the capital, people came and went during the morning gathering, shouting about business.
This is the place where gossip is the most talked about. Several old women who set up stalls gathered together to eat melon seeds and chat. One of them said:
"Have you heard about the things that have been going around in Beijing these days?"
"You can't mean..." The person next to him looked around and mouthed.
The woman vomited the melon seed skin and said loudly:
"It's the Lord Wenyu! Just say it loudly! There are people coming and going on the street, who cares what you say! Besides, she has the nerve to do such a shameless thing, and she is afraid of being criticized!"
The woman picking vegetables in front of her stall paused, secretly raised her eyes and glanced at them, holding something in her hand, but her ears quietly perked up.
The vendors on this whole street knew each other well, and the stall owner next to him asked curiously:
"What happened to County Master Wenyu?"
"She, hum! She's having an affair!"
"What! No way!"
People on the street gathered here one after another, and two shoppers dropped their things to watch the fun.
The old woman who was cracking melon seeds was getting older. When she saw so many people surrounding her, she straightened her back with pride. She raised her fingers and said with a mean look on her face:
"I knew she was not a good person! How can she be a good person if she is unruly and petty! You are the only one who calls the county chief Qin, but you don't know that she didn't go to deliver food for disaster relief at all! It's just a shame for your daughter. The face of the family!”
"Old woman, please make it clear! Why is the county boss so bad? You are just slandering people, be careful of being caught by the government!"
Among the crowd were Ji Shu's supporters, who said angrily.
The old woman dropped the melon seeds.
"Why have I slandered people! These days, the eldest young master of Wu Dingbo Mansion, the champion General Hou Qi! He runs to Ji's house every day and delivers things to her so diligently! Whose good girl has private contacts with the eldest uncle every day!"
The woman who supported Ji Shu squeezed forward and let out a loud sigh.
"Your heart is dirty! General Qi gave the county chief something because the county chief had helped the soldiers of Yan'an Mansion before! The general also sent a lot of things on behalf of his soldiers! Besides, the things he gave were kept private. Accept it! I also saw that you delivered food to the uncle next door. Could it be that you also had some contact with him? "
"You! Where did you get those cheap hooves from? You slandered me for nothing!"
The old woman was so angry that she wanted to fight her, but the woman who was buying vegetables in front of her stall quickly stopped her.
"Good sister, don't argue with the little girl. Tell me quickly, what do the Lord Wenyu and the uncle of Wu Dingbo have to do!"
"That's still false! I heard these days that the two of them had been hooking up as early as in Yan'an Mansion! My relatives in Yan'an Mansion saw it with their own eyes! This pair of adulterers were committing adultery.
Wife, County Master Wenyu still has the nerve to ask the emperor for divorce. I think it is clear that she wants to marry another person and is deliberately playing into his trap! Mr. Qi is so pitiful! "
People around asked: "What you said is true!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
The old woman was furious, raised her finger and said:
"If I'm going to tell a lie, I'll ask someone to pull out my tongue! I just can't stand the pretense of County Master Wenyu! He clearly went there to seduce his eldest brother, and he was given a longevity tablet and merit monument because of this! The people in Yan'an Mansion have been deceived so miserably! Don't let her deceive you!"
While the people were discussing, someone shouted:
"The people from the Military and Horse Department are here!"
The streets and alleys suddenly became chaotic. The old woman hurriedly packed up her clothes and blended into the crowd. When the soldiers and horses arrived, the building was already empty.
The woman who had just bought groceries blended in with the crowd and quickly left the street.
She walked quickly, turned a few corners and arrived in front of Uncle Wu Ding's house, and walked in through the corner door.
It was extremely quiet in the uncle's mansion. The servants were all in low spirits and were all lazy and taking a leisurely stroll.
Cui's mother was so fast that she reached Furong Hall, put down the vegetable basket in her hand, and broke into Mrs. Li's house.
"Madam! Madam!"
Li leaned on the kang sadly and glanced at her listlessly, "Did you see a ghost? You were in a panic..."
"Madam! I just went to the street and heard something big!"
Mother Cui leaned on the edge of the kang and told Mrs. Li what the old woman in the market had said.
Mrs. Li sat up when she was halfway through listening, and turned pale after listening.
"That's how it is! That shameless bitch! Why did she suddenly change her temper? She used to be responsible for her duties, but she started to act like hell when she came back from Yan'an Mansion! It turns out she has a concubine for my son to wear. Cuckold! Bitch! I’m going to tear her apart!”
Cui's mother stopped Mrs. Li, "Madam! Madam, please don't worry, please calm down first! This matter is still groundless for the time being! It still needs to be investigated carefully!"
"What else is there to check! I should have thought of it a long time ago! That restless thing!"
Mrs. Li thought of Qi Chengxu who was decadent at home and walked out:
"I want to tell Xu'er about this!"
Li Shi ran quickly towards Qi Chengxu's yard. Unexpectedly, as soon as she got outside the door, she heard the sound of Mi Mi coming from inside.
"Shu'er..."
"Second Master~Second Master, please be gentle~"
"lady!"
Cui's mother caught up and supported the staggering Li. Listening to the movement in the house, she felt ashamed even at her age!
Now that the sun is still hanging in the sky, Li's face turned green with anger just because he was doing this nonsense.
However, she didn't go in to disturb her. She led Cui's mother to wait in a side room for a while, and then she strode into the inner room until everything calmed down.
Before Ji Feifei had finished finishing her clothes, she saw Mrs. Li barging in. She was caught off guard by her hair and dragged to the ground.
"Ah! It hurts so much! Erye, please help me~"
"Mom! What are you doing!"
"You're still asking me! You don't do anything serious all day long! You hang out with this bitch every day! Do you still have a future? I'll tell your father later and see how he deals with you!"
Qi Chengxu is now thin and skeletal, his eyes are blue and black, his lips are purple, and he looks like he is weak and depressed, and he has no trace of the glory he had before.
Mrs. Li held her heart and backed away.
He wasn't like this when he first came out of prison! Just because Ji Feifei seduced him to indulge every day, now his energy is gone!
"If you fool around with her again! I'll send her out!"
Ji Feifei cried and threw herself into Qi Chengxu's arms. Qi Chengxu hugged her and roared back:
"You and the old lady have already forced Shu'er away! Do you want to force her away too!"
"You said I didn't want a future, but my future was ruined by you! If you hadn't abused Shu'er, she wouldn't have left! She wouldn't have reconciled with me! You don't have to worry about my affairs in the future!"
Mrs. Li was in tears, crying and cursing:
"You idiot! You're still thinking about that bitch! Do you know why she had to reconcile-"
"It's because she has been hanging out with Qi Ye for a long time! She cheated on you! You are thinking about her so much that you don't know how many times she has been hanging out with Qi Ye behind your back! She went to Qi Ye when she went to Yan'an Mansion for disaster relief. ! You are still separated from your mother and me because of this slut, are you stupid?"
