Chapter 457 Poor people must be hateful
She really couldn't control her anger about this matter.
No wonder my sister opened an embroidery workshop to shelter homeless women.
There are not just a few homeless women in this world, but thousands and thousands of them. They may be rejected by their husband's family, or sold into brothels by their parents. Their lives are not something they can choose.
Thinking of this, Gu Jianchu couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Faced with such a thing, Xie Qingzhi was also angry, but he did not vent it directly like Gu Jianchu.
However, Gu Jianchu's slap made the two families look over at the same time. The Pingxi Marquis' Mansion looked curious, while the Shangshu Mansion looked guilty, especially Madam Kong and Madam Wen. They were really afraid that the Queen would know something and get angry.
Gu Jianchu didn't have the time to pay attention to their emotions, but was instead trying to figure out the matter.
Now that she knows about the existence of such an organization, she will definitely wipe them out in one fell swoop.
The man arranged for Concubine Wen to have contact with three men, one of whom was the son of the Minister of Justice. Although the son of the Minister of Justice was a bit of a playboy, he was a man of his own ideas. He only entertained women who approached him and had no intention of marrying them. Therefore, after two attempts, Concubine Wen failed. However, the young master was quite generous and gave Concubine Wen a lot of money, which saved her from being beaten and also bought her the antidote.
[The second person she came into contact with was Mr. Guan, a salt merchant from the east of the city. Mr. Guan was not a good person, but a stingy person. After being with Mr. Guan for a month, Madam Wen did not get anything, but was disliked by Mr. Guan. After all, stingy men like them were simply reluctant to spend money on women, so they could only keep changing women to play with, which could save costs and only required a small fee.
[The man, seeing that Concubine Wen hadn't made any money this time, was furious and beat her severely. He also withheld her antidote for two days as a lesson. After receiving the antidote, Concubine Wen discovered that she was pregnant. She knew full well that it was Master Guan's child. Having learned from the previous lesson with Master Yang, she was not as reckless this time. After all, if she failed to accomplish anything, she would be the only one to suffer in the end.]
She knew full well that Master Guan was an extremely stingy person. She had also sent people to inquire about Master Guan's wife. While she wasn't a ruthless person, she wasn't a pushover either. Master Guan's concubines were strictly controlled by her. If Master Guan was told about her pregnancy, she would have to marry into the Guan family. Given Master Guan and his wife's situation, she probably wouldn't be able to give this man much money, and his wife would make things difficult for her. Comparing the two options, asking Master Guan to acknowledge the child wasn't the best option.
Just as she was about to abort the child, the man arranged another business for Concubine Wen. This man was now Kong Lin. This man specialized in arranging these high-ranking officials. He didn't think too much about it, just wanting to create a fleeting romance and make a quick buck from these men. Concubine Wen didn't dare disobey the man's orders, so she approached Kong Lin. After meeting Kong Lin, she found that Kong Lin was different from those stinky men. He was quite gentle and looked easy to deceive. He would follow her with just a wave of his hand.
Madam Wen suddenly had a different idea. Perhaps by marrying into the Shangshu Mansion and climbing to a higher position, she could escape that man. So she sent people to inquire about the Shangshu Mansion's situation. She learned that the mistress, Mu Yao, was kind, unlike the cruel and ruthless ladies she had met before, and that the family situation in the Shangshu Mansion was relatively simple. So, Madam Wen used all the tricks her mother had taught her to coax Kong Lin into a cozy relationship. She then told Kong Lin the news of her pregnancy.
When Kong Lin learned of this, he was overjoyed. Unlike Young Master Yang, he didn't act first or ask for permission later. He took her directly to the Shangshu Mansion, even threatening the entire Shangshu Mansion with death. Although the Shangshu and his wife were unwilling, Kong Lin had a good grandmother. Old Madam Kong supported Kong Lin's idea.
[As for Mu Yao, Kong Lin knelt for a whole day. Although Mu Yao was dissatisfied, she had no choice but to accept it.]
[At first, Madam Wen was just testing the waters, but later, realizing that Mu Yao was truly easy to bully, she gradually began to press her limits. After all, only by gaining a higher position could she completely escape the man who controlled her.]
To climb up, she had to bring Mu Yao down. Concubine Wen looked at her growing belly and knew she couldn't keep the child. If she did, it would be evidence of her murder if the truth came to light. Not only would the child die, but she wanted a worthy death. So, she pushed all of this onto Mu Yao.
[So she would first provoke Mu Yao during their daily interactions, and then implement her own plan, so that nothing would be left out.]
Madam Wen's experience is indeed heartbreaking, but there must be something hateful about this pitiful person. Her experience is not her fault, but she is unscrupulous in achieving her own goals, even harming others. This is her fault.
Xie Qingzhi nodded in agreement.
The Queen was right.
The Marquis' Mansion has always treated people well. If she had not seduced Gu Jianbai, but had worked hard to serve people in the Marquis' Mansion, she would not have ended up like this today.
Gu Jianchu had no plans to deal with Madam Wen yet, so he just pretended not to see her.
As for the man who specializes in luring women, he has done so many evil things, and there is no rush to catch him. Everything must be justified. Moreover, this organization must be wiped out in one fell swoop, leaving no future troubles.
Gu Jianchu called Yunhe over, leaned close to Yunhe's ear, whispered a few words in Yunhe's ear, and then Yunhe left the hall. No one knew what Yunhe was doing.
Instead, intermittent screams could be heard from outside, and one could already hear the woman's exhausted voice. The screams kept floating in the ears, like a ghost, making people feel creepy, especially those who had done evil things.
On the contrary, Mu Yao kept glancing outside with worry. Qing He was willing to endure punishment to prove her innocence, so how could she not worry? Besides, she knew the methods of the Imperial City Division. Anyone who entered the Imperial City Division would have their arms and legs broken.
Suddenly, the screams stopped and everyone looked outside.
Some people were worried and panicked, wondering whether the little maid couldn't stand the torture and fainted, which caused the voice to suddenly stop, or whether the little maid couldn't stand the torture and confessed, which caused the voice to stop.
Only Gu Jianchu slowly picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip, his eyes calm.
