Chapter 71: It's worth at least two silver coins anyway

  Shen Guiya's face turned white, and she still wanted to go back and change her clothes. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gu was blocking the way in the east wing. With this order, the servants behind rushed up and pressed her to the ground.

  Heavens, her robe wasn't even tied properly to begin with. With just one press, the sash came undone and a large expanse of snowy white burst forth from her chest.

  "Shameless thing!" Mrs. Gu glared at her, her already fiery temper further ignited by the scene, and a jade pendant flew out: "A person like you is not worthy of being the daughter-in-law of my Gu family!"

  "Crack!" The jade pendant fell and shattered into powder. Shen Guiya raised her eyes to look, but only saw half of it with the character "Gu" engraved on it.

  That was a jade pendant symbolizing the mistress of the house, given to her by Mrs. Gu personally when she was still pregnant, and it had always been placed in the main room.

  What's going on? How could Mrs. Gu suddenly get so angry for no reason?

  Gu Zhaodong didn't persuade him, but instead walked over to Mrs. Gu's side. His eyes met Shen Guiya's clothes, and his face suddenly changed color.

  That robe, with one glance, was actually not wearing underwear. What's the point of helping him, even if Cao Dong loses the imperial examination, as a dignified son of the prime minister, does he need to rely on his own woman to sell her charm?

  He was actually still moved just now!

  "Mother-in-law..." Shen Guiya struggled to speak, but her clothes became looser. Many maids and servants in the hall were watching her, and she suddenly felt a bit flustered: "What's going on..."

  "What's wrong?" Mrs. Gu sneered and said, "You deceive the upper and lower, your heart is punishable! Obviously not pregnant, but together with the doctor in the mansion, deceiving and forcing Dong Er to marry you, and even pretending to have a miscarriage to frame others! I've already written the divorce letter, from now on, Shen Guiya, you are no longer my son's wife!"

  Shen Guiya opened her eyes wide and saw a book falling down, with a kind maid coming to help her turn the page, just right on the page "Menstruation is smooth, Qi and blood are unblocked".

  Can the doctor still take this out? Shen Guiya stuck her tongue out, looking at Liu Daifu beside her in horror. Liu Daifu didn't have the heart to look at her, and after she finished reading the note, he painfully picked up his own notebook again.

  This doctor indeed came to the mansion and took her pulse, she didn't know that taking the pulse could reveal this, modern technology isn't even this advanced, right? The child was already gone but he still managed to grasp it? TV dramas are really deceiving.

  "Gritting her teeth, Shen Guiya refused to admit defeat: 'Mother-in-law, listen to me explain. How could I possibly joke about my own child? This doctor arrived later and hasn't been in the mansion for long. Where is the old doctor from before who was reliable? If he wants to slander me, I'll go with him and say it.'"

  "Madam Gu coldly snorted: 'You don't need to rush, I've already sent someone to invite the previous doctor, his hometown is not far from here, you'll see him at dawn.'"

  Shen Guiya was completely stunned.

  "As for you, not returning home at night is one thing, but wearing such attire is already a violation of the seventh rule." Madam Gu said coldly: "According to the rules of the Gu household, violating the seventh rule results in twenty strokes of the rod, divorce papers, and expulsion from the estate!"

  "Don't!" Shen Guiya struggled with all her might, but was pinned down by the family guards and couldn't get up. Madame Gu didn't even give her time to argue, directly calling for the family rules to be enforced.

  "Give me a beating, this thing has utterly disgraced the Gu family!" Madam Gu shouted.

  "Master!" Shen Guiya panicked and couldn't help but call out to Gu Zhaodong. Just now at the inn, he had also been moved by her, after all, she was wholeheartedly thinking for his sake, wanting to help him secure the position of Minister of Justice, even if it meant compromising with others, wasn't that just an unavoidable measure? Such things aren't rare in this world, are they?

  But unexpectedly, Gu Zhaodong didn't even look at her, he just clenched his fists and stood beside Mrs. Gu, not making a sound even when the board came down.

  This coward!

  Shen Guiya felt that Gu Zhaodong was definitely afraid of offending Mrs. Gu, this useless man, why did she blindly fall in love with him back then?

  "Ah!" The board landed on her buttocks, hurting so much that she wanted to curse. In an instant, Shen Guiya missed modern times, which at least didn't involve being beaten like this.

  But back in modern times, she would have to work as a low-income temporary worker in a cosmetics store. Where's the pleasure of ancient luxury? Shen Guiya gritted her teeth, even if she was really divorced this time, she would take her makeup box with her. The box contained all the grease and other benefits she had obtained since taking charge of the accounts, as well as the formula for making essence oil. Leaving here, she could still make a living!

  But even if she had to leave, she couldn't just walk away like that. Whoever was behind her downfall would be found out!

  Shen Guiya never thought it was her fault from the start. If someone else made her suffer punishment, then it must be someone else's fault.

  The plank fell down, her clothes scattered, and the servants on the side looked at them all. The maids were all red-faced, and Gu Zhaodong's face turned green directly.

  "Ah!" The mournful cry echoed far and wide, and Shen Guiyan and Gu Zhaobei heard it as soon as they stepped into the mansion. It was already midnight, yet no one feared disturbing the prime minister.

  Bao Shan was guarding the door. As soon as she saw them return, she immediately ran up to them: "Miss, miss, go and see the excitement!"

  "What's all the commotion?" Shen Guiyan asked.

  "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end." Bao Shan excitedly took her arm: "Didn't someone frame Miss last time, making her suffer twenty strokes of the rod for nothing?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "Now this wretched cry is the retribution that has arrived." Bao Shan raised an eyebrow and winked: "Everyone didn't sleep, they all ran to see it, saying it's very fragrant inside!"

  Retribution? Shen Guiyan also knew that Shen Guiya was in trouble when she heard the cry, but this couldn't be called retribution, it could only be said to be repayment.

  "Shall we go and take a look?" Shen Guiyan turned her head to glance at Gu Zhaobei beside her.

  Gu Zhaobei yawned and said somewhat sleepily, "What's so good about her? She'll end up like this sooner or later anyway."

  "It's still worth watching." Shen Guiyan smiled: "After all, it can be worth one or two silver coins."

  Gu Zhoubei was dragged away by Shen Guiyan with his eyes half open.

  Shen Guiya had already been hit five times and was in so much pain that she didn't care about anything else. With great effort, she got up and kicked the family servant away. Not only that, but she also took off her robe and slapped it across Madame Gu's face. Wearing only a sexy bikini underneath, she covered her butt with her hands and angrily shouted: "I've had enough! What right do you have to hit people?!"

  Everyone in the house was shocked, and Shen Guiyan happened to see this scene as soon as she came, and her eyes widened involuntarily.

  Gu Zhongbei subconsciously turned around, thought for a moment and felt it wasn't right, he was a romantic rogue, why turn his back? He promptly turned back, calmly watching the commotion with a composed expression.

  "How dare you!" Mrs. Gu was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and Gu Zhaodong's face looked even more unpleasant as he picked up her clothes and wanted to put them on for her.

  "Get out of my way!" Shen Guiya pushed away Gu Zhaodong, exasperated: "Don't forget what you promised me when you wrote the divorce letter! Only I have the right to divorce you, not the other way around!"

  The servants outside were all driven away by the steward. Shen Guiyan and Gu Zhaobei walked in together, and Shen Guiya suddenly turned her head to look over.

  "I knew it, you're the one who's been poisoning me!" Shen Guiya glared at Shen Guiyan, baring her teeth and claws as she tried to pounce on her, but was caught by Gu Zhaodong.

  Shen Guiyan didn't even lift her eyelids, and came in to greet Mrs. Gu with a slight nod: "Madam."

  Mrs. Gu was so angry that her whole body was trembling, Shen Guiya's entire body was seen through by everyone, who would still dare to want her? It's simply shameless!

  The family members who were beaten are still there, hanging their heads low in a daze. There are still fifteen planks that haven't been hit yet!

  "I won't let you go." Shen Guiya squeezed out these words from between her teeth.

  Shen Guiyan looked up at her, smiled slightly, and made a lip shape without making a sound.

  What a coincidence, I won't let you go either.

  This is just the beginning, she won't harm anyone, but she will definitely expose all her dirty secrets and let everyone see them clearly, so they won't be deceived by her again!

  Shen Guiya was startled by her lip shape, stunned for a moment, and then heard Mrs. Guo say: "Tie her up, use the family law to lock her in the woodshed!"

  "Yes." The maid next to her wanted to take over, but Shen Guiya struggled again, frantically shouting: "Don't! Don't!"

  Her hair was disheveled and her bikini was on the verge of falling off.

  Shen Guiyan couldn't help but glance at Gu Zhaobei, this scene was one that any man would find hard to resist.

  But Gu Zhaobei was standing beside her, drowsy and sleepy, with his eyes already closed.

  Tossed and turned for half the night, went out drinking again, must be exhausted.

  Shen Guiyan smiled slightly and tightened her grip on his hand.

  Gu Chao Dong gritted his teeth and held her back, growling: "What's wrong with you? You're acting like a madwoman!"

  A flash of inspiration in her mind, Shen Guiya paused for a moment, and then became even more frantic, shouting wildly: "I am a god sent from heaven! With cloud clothes and wind as my shirt! You common people, don't you hurry up and kneel down? Wow wow wow--"

  Shen Guiyan: "......"

  The housekeeper looked at Shen Guiya's frantic appearance and hastily came forward, saying: "Madam, in my humble opinion, the young mistress seems to have really gone mad!"

  Mrs. Gu was taken aback, her anger still simmering, and when she came to her senses, she saw Shen Guiya rolling her eyes and shouting wildly, just like someone possessed!

  "Hurry up and lock him in the woodshed!" Mrs. Gu frowned and said: "This won't do, go invite a Taoist priest back!"

  Bao Shan stood behind Shen Guiyan with her hands on her hips and said, "Has she been possessed by an evil spirit?"

  The family law hasn't been fully implemented yet!

  "Madam, Master, I think our young mistress has been possessed by an evil spirit! She's been having trouble sleeping and eating lately!" Yu Chai, who had not dared to speak up until now, finally knelt forward: "Mistress wasn't like this before, it's only been the past few days that she's been acting strangely, and even I haven't been allowed to attend to her."

  "This kind of thing has been around since ancient times, and people back then were superstitious. But Mrs. Gu immediately became serious and said: 'Let's get a Taoist priest to take a look before we say anything else. I also feel that Ya'er wasn't like this before, she must have caught a cold.'"

  Shen Guiyan furrowed her brow.
