Chapter 438 Playing dumb
When Liu Hanxue saw that Wang Wenzhou's head was bleeding from kowtowing, she quickly stepped forward and took a handkerchief to wipe it for him.
When Gao Guilan saw this, she went completely mad, pointing at Wang Wenzhou and yelling, "Wang Wenzhou, you scoundrel! You've been sleeping with girls behind the sisters' backs again!"
"Who is she?" Gao Guilan asked sharply, pointing at Liu Hanxue.
Seeing that things weren't going well, Wang Wenyi quickly explained, "Xiao Lanlan, I don't know her. She's a girl from a brothel. On my way back to the manor, I got hit with some things again, so I went to the brothel to take a bath."
"Wang Wenzhou, you scoundrel! You just told me you didn't go to any brothels!" Gao Guilan cried out, tears streaming down her face.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!" Wang Wenzhou slapped himself three times. He felt so aggrieved. The more he tried to explain, the less he could explain.
Liu Hanxue had received a Confucian education from a young age, and the Three Obediences and Four Virtues were firmly ingrained in her mind. Wang Wenzhou, a grown man, was kneeling before his wives and concubines in public, pleading desperately. Liu Hanxue grew increasingly angry. She grabbed Wang Wenzhou's arm and complained, "Husband, get up! Aren't you ashamed?"
“Baby, stop fooling around! You should quickly hide in the brothel. Remember, you don’t know me!” Wang Wenzhou said seriously.
"Hmph!" Gao Guilan, seeing Wang Wenzhou and Liu Hanxue arguing and making a scene, said angrily, "Wang Wenzhou, tell me! Who exactly is she?"
"Hmph!" Liu Hanxue snorted coldly and replied, "I am Wang Wenzhou's concubine."
"Pah!" Gao Guilan cursed angrily, "Shameless little bitch!"
"You shrew, you're utterly shameless! You're always threatening to kill yourself, making your husband lose face with you!" Liu Hanxue accused.
"Who is your husband, you shameless little bitch! Wang Wenzhou, you bastard, when did you take a concubine?" Gao Guilan pointed at Wang Wenzhou and scolded him angrily.
"Hmm?" Seeing that Gao Guilan was jealous, Wang Wenzhou smiled slightly. This made things easier.
Wang Wenzhou stood up, grabbed Liu Hanxue, and kissed her directly.
"Wow..." The onlookers gasped in surprise. A man and a woman embracing and kissing in the street was a very strange thing in the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
"Wang Wenzhou, you bastard!" Gao Guilan was furious. She lifted the roof tiles and started smashing them down.
"Hey..." Wang Wenzhou dodged the flying tile and said with a laugh, "Gao Guilan, what do you mean? Why don't you just die! Why are you throwing things at us?"
"Hmph! Why should I die?" Gao Guilan pointed at Liu Hanxue angrily and scolded, "I finally understand, Wang Wenzhou, you're hoping for my death so you can marry this little bitch and take my place!"
Liu Hanxue whispered to Wang Wenzhou, "Baby, I'm sorry, I've wronged you. You must admit that you're a girl from the brothel, and you don't know me. Okay? Please, otherwise, that young lady on the roof might really do something rash and jump!"
"Sigh..." Liu Hanxue sighed softly, and said with a wronged expression, "Fine!"
"My baby is so good!" Wang Wenzhou pushed Liu Hanxue away, knelt down on the ground, and said with deep affection, "Xiao Lanlan, I was just trying to upset you! I really don't know her! If you don't believe me, ask her. The reason she said that was because I deliberately made her do it, so that you wouldn't jump off the building!"
"Sir, I'm not playing with you anymore. Remember to come back and settle the bill later!" Liu Hanxue rolled her eyes at Wang Wenzhou and swayed her hips as she walked into the brothel.
"Hmph! Wang Wenzhou, you damn liar! You lied to me again!" Gao Guilan cried, feeling wronged.
"Little Lanlan, be good! It was wrong of me to lie to you. I really realize the seriousness of my mistake this time. I swear to God, if I ever dare to lie to my little Lanlan again, may I die a horrible death!" Wang Wenzhou said in a serious tone.
Gao Guilan pouted, feeling wronged, but seeing the bloodstains on Wang Wenzhou's forehead, she also felt a pang of heartache.
"Wang Wenzhou, do you guarantee it?" Gao Guilan asked.
"Mmm!" Wang Wenzhou said righteously, "Little Lanlan, how could Uncle dare to lie to you again! Be good, come down now."
"Mmm!" Gao Guilan nodded; she had vented enough.
"Ah!" Gao Guilan suddenly screamed.
"What's wrong?" Wang Wenzhou asked hurriedly.
"My legs are weak, I dare not move!" Gao Guilan said aggrievedly.
"Little Lanlan, be good. Your sister-in-law is going upstairs to get you. Wait a moment, be careful, don't fall," Wang Wenzhou said quickly.
"Okay! I understand!" Gao Guilan nodded.
"Phew..." Wang Wenzhou breathed a sigh of relief. His great-aunt had finally come to her senses.
Wang Wenzhou turned around, waved to Liu Hanxue, and said with a smile, "Baby, baby, bring some wine over, I need a drink to calm my nerves."
Liu Hanxue rolled her eyes at Wang Wenzhou, went upstairs, grabbed a pot of wine, and left the brothel.
Liu Hanxue habitually took a sip of the wine and fed it to Wang Wenzhou.
"Wang Wenzhou, you lied to me again!" Gao Guilan burst into tears.
"Slap! Slap!" Wang Wenzhou slapped himself twice hard. He was so stupid. When you drink too much, your thinking becomes clumsy, and it's easy to give yourself away when you lie. He shouldn't have drunk today.
"Wang Wenzhou!" Gao Guilan wiped away her tears and said aggrievedly, "Back then, you gave me gold to save my life, and I fell deeply in love with you! In order to be with you, I threatened to kill myself, and only then did my father agree to betroth me to you!"
Gao Guilan became increasingly aggrieved as she spoke, tears streaming down her face. She sobbed, "Wang Wenzhou, you lecherous scoundrel! You have so many concubines at home, yet you still frequently go out and have affairs. My sisters all think I'm stupid because even if you slept with girls right in front of me, I wouldn't get angry!"
"But Wang Wenzhou, do you know what? She's not stupid! She can't bear to be angry with you because she likes you. Even though you slept with other girls right in front of her!" Gao Guilan cried her eyes out.
“My grandfather said that when I get married, I don’t care how rich my husband’s family is or how handsome he is, as long as he is a good person!” Gao Guilan pointed at Wang Wenzhou and said aggrievedly, “Back then, you weighed more than 300 pounds and were as fat as a pig. Such a beautiful girl never cared about your weight! She married you without hesitation!”
"Little Lanlan, Uncle was wrong! Please forgive Uncle this time. Uncle swears I'll never lie to you again!" Wang Wenzhou immediately knelt down.
“Uncle, your little Lanlan isn’t stupid!” Gao Guilan said loudly, “I learned to read at the age of three and was well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics by the age of nine. My grandfather said that if I were a boy, I would definitely become the top scholar in the imperial examination.”
“Wang Wenzhou, you lied to me time and time again. It’s not that I didn’t know you were lying, but I couldn’t bear to expose your lies. You are my man, the man I love, and I can’t bear to embarrass you! I will never be like Sister Liu Rushi, scolding or hitting you at the drop of a hat!” Gao Guilan’s heart ached terribly. From beginning to end, she had been pretending to be stupid.
“You like sleeping with girls, and although I don’t want to, I still pretend to be a fool and greet you with a smile. For you, I was willing to break with my father! But you have fooled me again and again! I killed my father! I don’t deserve to live in this world!” After saying this, Gao Guilan’s baby was about to jump off the building.
Just then, Wang Ying climbed to the rooftop. With quick reflexes, she grabbed Gao Guilan's clothes.
"Little Lanlan! No!" Wang Wenzhou felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if pricked by a needle. He had always thought that Gao Guilan was a naive and innocent girl, silly but cute. He never expected that Gao Guilan was pretending to be silly in order to please him.
"Give me your hand!" Wang Ying shouted as she saw the clothes in her hand were torn.
"I have no face to live on in this world!" Gao Guilan tore her clothes apart with all her might.
"Bang!" Gao Guilan fell to the ground from the air.
