The old lady is reborn

Song Ying carefully looked at the list Liu Wan sent him. The names on the list were basically some people who were not well-known in Kyoto.

Song Ying thought about it and realized that since the Sixth Prince was planning such a big thing, the really important people and confidential matters must have gone somewhere else.

But he needed a lot of people to do various chores for him, and it would be inappropriate for these people to be stationed in the palace or in places related to the palace.

These small people had a lot of complicated things to do, so they were placed in Rong Huaishan's outer residence to wait for deployment and arrangements.

If something really happened, the things these people confessed would probably just be some trivial matters.

It would be very difficult to string together a strong accusation against the Sixth Prince or evidence of treason.

This matter can only be put aside for now.

Because Crown Prince Rong Huaishan coveted his younger brother's wife but couldn't get her, he kept a concubine who looked similar to him. This gossip spread quickly.

The story became more and more detailed. What was the concubine's surname and name? Where was the house? When did he start keeping the concubine? It turned out that the woman was a bangzi opera singer...

Wu Siyu was already troubled by the affairs of her two daughters-in-law, and now she heard that her husband had such thoughts and had a mistress behind her back, she was immediately furious.

According to the rumored location of the house, a group of people rushed over from the Nan'an Marquis Mansion.

The incident happened suddenly. Wang Hu saw that it was his wife and her men rushing over. He asked someone to quickly notify Rong Huaishan while trying his best to stop Wu Siyu.

This matter had already been widely circulated, and now many people had gathered at the gate of the house to watch the fun.

Wang Hu didn't want Wu Siyu to enter the mansion. After all, there were too many people and things in this mansion that could not be known by others.

But if we stop the lady from entering, more and more people will gather at the door to watch the fun, and this matter will become increasingly difficult to resolve.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Rong Huaishan heard that his wife had made a scene in the outer house, and he rushed over in a hurry. When he got there, he was in a very bad mood, and he went forward and dragged Wu Siyu away.

Someone in the crowd said, "This original wife is so miserable. She has been making a fuss here for a long time, but none of the servants take her seriously and block her from entering the house.

Even when her husband came, she dragged him away so rudely. She was protecting her mistress well."

Someone else said, "That's right, they said the original wife came to beat up the concubine, not to mention beating her, she couldn't even touch the corner of her clothes, she couldn't even see the person, she wasn't even allowed to enter the house."

After hearing these words, Wu Siyu felt even more upset and kicked and punched Rong Huaishan who was dragging her.

Rong Huaishan still dragged her, as if he didn't care whether she lived or died.

Wu Siyu's clothes and hair were disheveled. Because she kicked and hit, her hands were twisted behind her back and dragged. Her hips and legs were rubbed on the ground. Her wrist was in great pain, so she simply opened her mouth to bite his hand.

Rong Huaishan let go of her hand in pain, and Wu Siyu fell to the ground. She then quickly got up and ran towards the outer house.

Rong Huaishan grabbed her hair, pulled her back fiercely, and slapped her twice.

Blood oozed from the corner of Wu Siyu's mouth. She was stunned for a moment, as if she was going to fight Rong Huaishan to the death. She no longer thought about rushing in to see what the mistress looked like.

She started fighting with Rong Huaishan, but how could she beat a man? She was basically beaten.

From time to time, people in the crowd cried out in surprise. Rong Huaishan became angry and attacked Wu Siyu quite heavily, and Wu Siyu gradually fell to the ground motionless.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Hu hurried over to dissuade them, and called the maids and old women over to carry Wu Siyu onto the carriage. Only then did Rong Huaishan want to leave with some anger still remaining.

Suddenly he changed his mind and asked the maids brought by Wu Siyu to send his wife back, while he himself went into the outer house with Wang Hu.

This time when Wu Siyu was sent back, Song Ying did not rush to ask a doctor to see her like last time.

He just told Rong Yunyue and Rong Yunfeng to look after their mother. The two sons had a lot of worries of their own, but they were also shocked when they saw the miserable state of their mother in the yard.

They called a doctor and a female doctor. Wu Siyu kept groaning in pain, and the injuries all over her body made it difficult for her to fall asleep no matter how she lay down.

In the evening, after she had recovered a little strength, Wu Siyu asked her maid where Rong Huaishan was now.

The girl hesitated and finally said that Rong Huaishan sent them to send the lady back home, and she went to the outer house and has not returned to Nan'an Marquis Mansion yet.

Wu Siyu smiled bitterly. Even after beating himself into this state, he still went to the outer house to hang out with his mistress.

If you haven't returned home at this time of the evening, I'm afraid you won't be home tonight.

It's funny. I didn't realize it before. I always thought that the concubine Hua in my family was the thorn in my husband's heart, but I didn't expect it was someone else.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind, and I remembered many details from the past. I suddenly felt that Hua might be an insider.

So he asked someone to call Hua over, not caring whether it would be embarrassing for Hua to see him being beaten.

Wu Siyu asked: "Have you known for a long time that he has a mistress?"

Hua said: "Yes. Many times when the master took me out, he always went to the outer house in a roundabout way.

I was just a cover. When I got there, the master wouldn't let me into the inner courtyard, so I stayed alone in the outer courtyard and only went back with the master when he left."

Wu Siyu asked, "Have you seen that mistress Zhao Ting?"

Hua nodded and said, "I have seen it."

Wu Siyu asked again: "Does she look similar to my sister-in-law Mingdai?"

Hua said, "They are very similar. I was shocked when I first saw them."

Wu Siyu said, "You are a cover, then this Zhao Ting is also the 'object' that reminds him of someone?"

Hua hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe at the beginning, but now I really care about it."

Wu Siyu asked: "Why do you say that?"

Hua said: "The master didn't allow Zhao Ting to have children before, but recently Zhao Ting got pregnant, and the master was not angry, he even found an experienced maid to take care of her.

I remember it happened before, and at that time, the master had someone abort her baby."

Wu Siyu asked, "How long have you been pregnant?"

Hua said: "I'm not particularly sure, but I guess it's been about four or five months."

Wu Siyu asked, "Since you have been keeping this secret for him, why did you tell him everything today when asked?"

Hua said: "I kept this secret before because I also needed to make a living.

Now that the Madam asked, I told her that it was because I felt that the Master might do something for the child in Zhao Ting's belly.

Then I won't be able to settle down and make a living, but will be the first to die.

Besides, it doesn’t matter whether I say it or not, it has already spread all over the streets and alleys.”

Wu Siyu had just been beaten and had seen how ruthless Rong Huaishan was to her. After hearing what she said, she asked, "What do you mean? What would he do for the baby in Zhao Ting's belly?"
