Chapter 39 Bringing Good News

  "I'm not pregnant, I won't divorce, this quack doctor wants to kill me, don't you believe it, call my second elder brother, he's the imperial physician, I won't be wronged like this for no reason..." Huarong Meng cried out loudly, completely losing her previous elegant and demure demeanor.

  Mingfei, who had always wanted to make this happen, did not expect things to suddenly turn out like this. At the same time, she also believed that Empress Jing would also want the fourth prince to marry a woman from the Wu Guogong Fu, and it wouldn't make sense for her to instruct a royal physician to harm Huaroumeng. So the only possibility was that Huaroumeng really was pregnant, unexpectedly her sister not only protected her younger sibling but also indulged her daughter in doing such an immoral thing, truly losing face for the Hua family and causing them to lose dignity along with Consort Gu and herself. If this big matter were to spread out, how could the unmarried daughters of the Hua and Gu families find a husband's home in the future? Wouldn't the imperial consorts in the palace who were always ready to stab each other in the back laugh at their spine every day?

  "That's enough! Having done such a shameful thing, what face do you have to cry injustice here? Your Majesty the Empress, Fourth Prince, this matter is indeed due to the Flower family's lack of consideration that led to such a mistake. No matter what, the Flower family has made contributions to the imperial court. Now there is still Hua Zhe Yu waiting to be married off to Bei Ming. To avoid becoming a laughing stock, I hope you can tolerate this for now." Ming Fei thought for a moment and decided to sacrifice Hua Ruo Dream to preserve the reputation of both the Hua and Gu families.

  The Empress Dowager remained silent, and Chu Mingqiu, who was good at weighing the pros and cons, immediately sighed: "Although the marriage proposal has not been successful, I will still take care of Guo Gong's face even if Your Majesty doesn't say anything..."

  "Don't... Fourth Prince, I'm really innocent, please don't go..."

  Hua Ruo Meng clutched Chu Ming Qiu's leg, crying as if her heart was being torn apart. Hua Bu Que couldn't bear to see this and quickly ordered two maidservants to carry Hua Ruo Meng away, causing her to cry even more desperately, almost to the point of fainting. "Mother, mother save me, I really only want to marry the Fourth Prince, mother..."

  Gu's heart ached, wanting to scold the two women, but Hua Ruo Yun, who was standing beside her, tightly grasped her and whispered: "Things have come to this point, does Mother want to provoke the Empress Dowager and drag our daughter into it as well?"

  Gu's family helplessly closed his eyes, and tears suddenly slid down from the corners of his eyes.

  Watching the rain, I see a scene in front of me, and my heart feels both relieved and satisfied. As they say, killing someone is just a moment's pain, but torturing someone, taking away their loved one, making them wish they were dead, and reducing them to dust and mud in an instant - that's the real revenge.

  This way, Hua Ruoyan who dared to bully her two sisters can be said to have truly suffered a downfall. The Gu family lost one daughter, and Hua Ruoyun's selfishness is evident in not allowing the Gu family to save face for her own sake.

  This time, Empress Jing personally came to propose the marriage, but it ended up being a humiliating farce, which made Hua Buqi extremely angry. After seeing off the noble guest with a stiff face, he immediately went to find trouble with Madame Guo. And from this, I'm afraid that even the sisters of the inner chambers, including the second and third branches, will also go to Dacheng Garden to interrogate Madame Guo together.

  Gu's family felt extremely wronged, after a hundred explanations, under Hua Ruo Meng's repeated pleas, she had to invite the imperial physician for another examination. Unexpectedly, the result was still that she was three months pregnant. Infuriated, Hua Bu Quan brought out the family law and beat Hua Ruo Meng severely, demanding that she hand over her lover.

  Hua Ruomeng asked where there was a scoundrel to befriend, and as a result, she was beaten unconscious several times. Madame Gu felt heartbroken, and the servant she sent to the Gu's house to invite Gu Zhengliang happened to return with news that the 200,000 dan of grain she had stored in the Gu's granary had been moved out overnight by someone. Gu Zhengliang went to investigate the true culprit and had not yet returned to the mansion.

  It's as if the roof is leaking and it's raining all night, seeing her daughter being beaten like this, she wanted to let her nephew come and rescue her, but he wasn't there because of that twenty thousand dan of grain, Madam Gu couldn't help but cry out in pain, was this the heavenly retribution for her greed?

  "Miss, I just passed by the kitchen and heard the second and third madams discussing that Miss Eighth always doesn't listen to people. The master has already ordered someone to give Miss Eighth an abortion medicine tonight, and then send her to the ancestral temple tomorrow to become a nun. Do you think there's still any chance for her?" After returning to Jingting Garden, Pinyin asked while massaging Hua Zheyu's waist as she had requested.

  "What's the use of a turn for the better? Even if the imperial physician arrives with his golden eyes and sees through everything, it's just a family affair behind closed doors. The empress has already lost interest in Hua Ruo Dream. If I obediently marry the King of North Ming, the empress might turn a blind eye. But if I lose my usefulness too, who knows when the bad reputation of Hua Ruo Dream will spread out. Don't worry, soon a bowl of abortion medicine will be poured down, and even gods won't be able to detect anything."

  The peony's hand was soft and gentle, "Miss is indeed formidable, but it's also Eighth Miss' own fault."

  "If I hadn't been forced into a corner, I wouldn't have bothered with these twisted thoughts," Hua Zhe said, tilting her head to the side. "I'm just afraid that Second Brother-in-law gave me a rather terrifying impression yesterday, and I hope he's caught a cold today and can't come back."

  After waiting for a while, she didn't hear Yu Rong's response. Those delicate hands also stopped moving. She couldn't help but laugh and say: "You wouldn't be so scared that you're stunned just from hearing my second brother's name, would you? Is your courage really that small?"

  She had just finished speaking when her waist was suddenly slapped by someone, and she was in so much pain that her eyes and nose were all scrunched up.

  "Look at you, an unmarried young lady from a wealthy family, and yet you can talk about horseback riding with such fluency. If this gets out, your family's reputation will be completely ruined."

  At the sound of this refreshing voice, Hua Zheyu, who was still in pain, suddenly sat up, and behind her, where there should have been peonies, was actually Chu Ba's handsome face, as if carved out of a sculpture.
