Before selling rouge, Lady Liu was a singer in a brothel. Everyone in Cheng'an County knew this, but because Lady Liu was a kind person, no one cared about her past life experience.
Mrs. Li's body was trembling and she gritted her teeth and said, "You're talking nonsense! Didn't she run away with someone?!"
Madam Xu sneered: "What a coincidence, the man who bullied Madam Liu back then is here again, and he told your master all about it. Otherwise, why do you think he comes here so often during this time!"
Mrs. Li was even more shocked when she heard what she said. Now she couldn't stay any longer, "What? Did you tell the master?!"
She quickly took the hand of the maid beside her, "Quick! Let's go back to the house!"
People around her pointed at her and whispered.
How could she be so vicious. ?.?????.???
Mrs. Li lowered her head, got on the carriage and left immediately.
As soon as Mrs. Li left, the street immediately became quiet.
Du Wanchun helped Zhang Qiuhe sit inside to rest, and said while comforting her: "Sister Zhang, if you see this again next time, don't hold back, do it when you need to, don't be afraid."
Zhang Qiuhe nodded, grateful.
She asked Madam Xu cautiously, "Will Madam Liu be okay?"
Madam Xu said slowly: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Magistrate Li will protect her. If I don't say anything today, when Mrs. Li makes a fuss, others will think Madam Liu did something wrong. In fact, they don't know , Mrs. Li is the culprit."
Aunt Zhou came in with two cups of tea, "I heard you just said that Mrs. Li did something evil?"
The Third Prince strode up to her, took the tea cup from her hand, and carried it to Madam Xu and Zhang Qiuhe.
Madam Xu took a sip of tea and said: "Yes, it was Madam Li who did the evil. Madam Liu and I used to be from the same hometown. Her family is a well-known local squire and Magistrate Li. They are also well-matched. The two families made an appointment early in the morning. I’ve already arranged the marriage, and I’m just waiting for County Magistrate Li to come and hire me after he takes office.”
"However, Mrs. Li fell in love with County Magistrate Li. However, County Magistrate Li was upright and did not agree to marry her. He only had Mrs. Liu in her heart. But later Mrs. Liu's family encountered bandits, and the entire family of more than ten people were killed. He was killed, Lady Liu and her sister disappeared, and County Magistrate Li was depressed about this for a long time, thinking that Lady Liu was dead."
"Mrs. Li took this opportunity to stay with him. She originally thought that after two or three years, he would be able to marry her. Who knew that County Magistrate Li wanted to resign and go to find Mrs. Liu? Mrs. Li poured wine into his wine in a hurry. After she drank something and waited for the whole night, she had Mr. Li in her belly."
"In order to be responsible for the child in her belly, County Magistrate Li had no choice but to marry her."
Aunt Zhou listened and sighed, "Mrs. Liu is also a poor person."
"Who says it's not the case?" Madam Xu continued: "In fact, Madam Liu was not missing that year. After she was bullied by the bandits, she was sold to a brothel along with her sister. Later, her sister was bought by the Wu family in the capital, etc. After a while, her sister redeemed her body, gave her a sum of money, and opened a rouge shop here."
Madam Xu stood up, looked out the window in the direction of the rouge shop and continued: "Madam Liu has been doing business here for a year or two. She always avoided Magistrate Li and didn't want to have anything to do with him. But in the past few days, On that day, she met a man, the bandit who killed her family."
"The man told her that it was actually Mrs. Li who gave a sum of money to the bandits and asked them to kill all the Liu family. They also bullied Mrs. Liu together, and then sold her and her sister to a brothel. He just wants to break up her and County Magistrate Li so that he can ascend to power."
"It's so vicious!" The Third Prince couldn't stand listening to any man.
A woman from a scholarly family clearly had a good husband, but in the end her family was ruined, her innocence was ruined, and she spent five or six years in a brothel in darkness.
Most people may not be able to bear such a change.
Du Wanchun also sighed, "I didn't expect Mrs. Li to be so vicious."
Aunt Zhou held her hand and said, "Fortunately, fortunately, you married into our Zhou family. If you had married into their Li family, I don't know what life would have been like!"
Today's young master Li has long since become honest because of what happened to Du Wanchun last time, and no longer lives in debauchery, but he has never married again.
Mrs. Li was angry and anxious, and now she had no thoughts about Magistrate Li.
Du Wanchun hasn't seen them again for a long time.
At this time, Zhou Ruiyuan suddenly asked: "You said that Madam Liu's sister was ransomed by the Wu family in the capital. Which Wu family is it?"
Madam Xu smiled and said: "Where is the Wu family in the capital? It is Concubine Wu's mother's family."
As soon as these words were said, Aunt Zhou and the Third Prince's eyes lit up.
