Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful
Chapter 24: Engagement, Prince Gu makes his debut
Wang Fugui quickly glanced at his own son, only to see that he was not angry at all. He gently held Madam Guan's hand and began to coax and kiss her.
This was a prelude to a cat fight. Aunt Wang quickly took the child and went out, and he also quickly retreated.
He touched the three golden melon seeds secretly hidden in his pocket and thought happily that if his wife really went there and could earn some money, the second young master Yin would not beat him anymore.
A week before the Dragon Boat Festival, an uninvited guest came to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.
Xiao Hua, the prince of Weiguo, brought a servant to visit Lord Gu.
The young man was tied up and his face was red and swollen, and his original appearance could no longer be seen.
Xiao Hua came with ill intentions.
Marquis Gu Boyu hurriedly welcomed the person into the mansion.
"Lord Gu, excuse me for disturbing you! There is something so terrible that I have to come to you for an explanation. If you can't explain it clearly, we will report it to the police." Xiao Hua came in and didn't exchange pleasantries with Gu Boyu. He went straight to the point.
Gu Boyu was confused and said, "Prince Xiao, please speak."
"Your mansion has a servant named Wang Fugui, who is quite capable. He recently rented a place in a teahouse and his stage name is Nicholas Fugui. He specializes in encouraging servants to rebel against their masters, saying that all people are created equal."
Prince Xiao said, "The servants in the mansion were instigated and didn't even listen to the master's words."
He pointed at the servant who was beaten so badly that his features could not be seen and said, "Tell my lord, if you dare to tell a lie, I will let you know whether everyone is equal."
Gu Boyu's heart trembled, and his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
The servant of the Duke of Weiguo's mansion recounted in detail what "Nicholas Fugui" had said in the teahouse.
"If I lie, the prince and the marquis will cut me into pieces, and I will not be wronged. Many people in the teahouse have heard of this..."
Xiao Hua asked Gu Boyu: "My Lord, did you hear it clearly?"
Gu Boyu was furious and asked someone to call Wang Fugui immediately.
Butler Zhang Qing reported to Gu Boyu: "My Lord, Fugui has gone out with the prince."
"Look for it!" Gu Boyu gritted his teeth in anger.
Tu heard someone coming to see Wang Fugui in the backyard, but she didn't know what was going on. Zhang Qing whispered to her that Master Xiao was here to settle the score.
Tu was about to faint. She could almost immediately tell that what Prince Xiao said was absolutely right.
But, this Wang Fugui is not that Wang Fugui.
Nancheng cannot be known to others. Only she, Gu Chengyan and Wang Fugui know the address.
She went to look for it herself.
Along the way, Tu's mind was buzzing. She now seriously doubted whether what Yan'er said about Guan Yingying being the lucky star of Daqian predicted by Yuan Zhen was true.
When they arrived not far from Tianhou Lane, she asked the servant to stop the carriage.
As luck would have it, Wang Fugui was waiting outside the alley again. Tu walked up to him and whispered, "Fugui, why are you here?"
Wang Fugui said awkwardly: "Madam Guan and the prince don't want to be disturbed."
"Do you always wait outside like this?"
"Ah."
Tu thought that Wang Fugui was also a pitiful person.
But if Wang Fugui is not pushed out now, Yan'er will be the one who will suffer.
"Fugui, come back with me first. The Marquis wants to ask some questions about the prince, just tell him the truth."
Wang Fugui didn't think much about it and just said, "Let me tell the prince?"
Tu said, "No, you come back with me first and I'll ask you a few questions. Then come back. If the prince asks, just say I told you to go back temporarily."
Wang Fugui looked at the sun and saw that it was still early, so he followed Tu back.
After returning to the mansion, Tu asked Zhang Qing to call the marquis out.
Tu said carefully: "My Lord, Fugui cannot stay here. What if he says something bad to the prince..."
Gu Boyu knew that Gu Chengyan had a mistress, but he didn't know that she was a fugitive.
If he knew, he would beat Guan Yingying to death. His grandson would definitely not admit it and he might even beat her to death.
To protect Gu Chengyan, Wang Fugui must be sacrificed.
Wang Fugui must bear all the sins alone.
Gu Boyu could not have imagined the connection behind this. What Prince Xiao said was true. Unfortunately, all these things were done by Gu Chengyan.
He was so angry that he slapped Tu in the face: "Bitch, you raised a good son."
"My Lord, it's useless for you to kill me. We have to send Master Xiao away first."
"Where is Gu Chengyan?" After all these things happened, where did he go?
Gu Boyu called Wang Fugui and asked him if he had been talking about rebellion to others in the teahouse.
Wang Fugui didn't dare to reveal Guan Yingying, nor did he dare to say it was Gu Chengyan. He thought he would just bear with it for now. At worst he would be beaten by the Marquis, and then Master Gu would compensate him later.
He lowered his head and stammered, "That's true."
Gu Boyu had long understood that the things that Prince Xiao mentioned were probably done by his eldest son.
He immediately called Zhang Qing and whispered to him.
After a while, Zhang Qing brought a porcelain bottle and shouted, and several people held Wang Fugui down and poured the medicine into his mouth.
Wang Fugui was terrified, but he couldn't break free.
By the time Zhang Qing took Wang Fugui to the main hall, Wang Fugui had been poisoned and mute, with blood flowing from the corners of his mouth. He was forced to his knees on the ground, unable to move.
Xiao Hua asked the servant in his mansion: "Did he tell you this?"
The swollen-headed servant looked at Wang Fugui and yes, it was this face.
In order to give Xiao Hua an explanation, the Marquis said to Zhang Qing: "Why keep such a servant who harms the master? Take him out and beat him to death."
Wang Fugui’s eyes bulged out and he struggled desperately, screaming “Ahhhhh”, but who would listen?
He was dragged out and given a beating with a stick.
Soon, Wang Fugui died.
After seeing the man being beaten to death, Xiao Hua raised the second question.
"Because of this matter, the servants in the mansion have to deal with more than 40 people at a time. Needless to say, the loss is self-evident. The Duke's Mansion will not extort money. The Marquis will just take two thousand taels of silver as a symbol."
At present, Gu Shaoyu is a first-rank official, with ten hectares of land, an annual salary of 700 dan of rice, plus 31 strings of copper coins every month.
Two thousand taels of silver would take several years' salary.
But who among the officials would rely on that little salary to support their appearance? So Prince Xiao really didn't ask for much.
Gu Boyu thanked him profusely and asked Tu to bring the silver to Prince Xiao.
Only then did Prince Xiao take the servant and leave.
After Xiao Shizi left, Gu Boyu said to Tu: "Come here and tell me what happened."
Tu now had no choice but to keep the secret, because if she told the truth, Gu Boyu would have Gu Chengyan destroyed.
"I don't know either. When Yan'er comes back, I'll ask him what happened. I'll send someone to find him right away."
However, before she went to look for Gu Chengyan, two more people came to the house. One was a servant who openly disobeyed after listening to the lecture of "Wang Fugui", and the other was a good wife who insisted on monogamy and made a big fuss about divorce.
They all made a scene at the mansion and demanded compensation, two thousand taels each.
The Marquis's Mansion was in chaos, the Colosseum was bustling with people, Yin Jinan, Li Yunmu, and Zhou Lingyin rolled up their sleeves and shouted as they placed their bets.
A player came over and said excitedly that four people came to the Marquis's mansion to ask for money in the morning. In the end, even the porcelain vase was moved out.
"I guess the treasury of the Marquis' Mansion has been emptied. If I don't go and collect the money owed to someone, I'm afraid I won't get a penny. When Lord Gu comes back, he might even arrest me and put me in jail."
