Chapter 1134 The Bitchy Couple Go Back on Their Words

“If you want to live with him, don’t blame me for aborting the child in your belly. Our mansion didn’t need the eldest son from a concubine. Besides, no one knows if this bastard in your belly is his own child!”

“If you want to follow Young Master Wei, you can be his servant girl first!”

“A cheap woman wants to climb up the social ladder. You things so highly of yourself. What bare-faced cheek!”

A torrent of foul words overwhelmed the woman sitting on the ground with her hands on her belly. Helplessly and vigilantly, she looked at the people around her and the Young Madam surrounded by the crowd.

Today, the past scene seemed to have happened again. After so many years, her face showed distinct signs of age. Yet, Madame Dong still recognized her at a glance: she was Miss Ouyang, the Young Madam back then.

Now, she should be Wei Dahai’s Madam, Madam Ouyang!

So many years had passed, and the same scene reappeared.

“Dear, is this the mistress you found? Is she the woman you’ve kept outside for so long?” Madam Ouyang stood there and looked at Madame Dong with disdain. The meaning of her words was clear: the legal wife was here to expose and denounce the mistress. Many people who came to watch the fun became restless and watched Madame Dong with contempt.

The legal wife caught a mistress, and there was only a man with this woman in the room. Sure enough, they had an affair.

“Madam Ouyang? Your husband is here to talk business. It’s okay if you don’t know about it. Otherwise, aren’t you afraid of making a dreadful mistake?” Madame Dong snorted contemptuously. She was no longer the lonely girl with nothing. Many years ago, she had no choice but to flee for her life overnight to protect the baby in her belly.

“A dreadful mistake?” Madam Ouyang repeated coldly. She represented the first branch and enjoyed all the glory. She eyed Madame Dong with scorn and said, “You’re nothing but a humble shopkeeper. How dare you say something like that? Who gave you the courage? You’ve been intimate with my husband, and he gave you this big shop. I’ve known all of these things. It’s time to settle this matter!”

“So, did Madame Dong get this shop from Wei Dahai?”

Many people shifted their eyes from Wei Dahai to Madame Dong. “Is this true? “If not, why would they secretly meet in one room?”

“Nonsense. I had never seen Lord Wei when our shopkeeper took over this shop!” A shop-boy, who had worked here for a long time, defended Madame Dong indignantly.

Madame Dong had taken a lot of time and effort to run this shop. This shop-boy saw it with his own eyes.

“Dear, you cared about this woman so much! You gave her all the money of our mansion for investment, and now… You even want to fool me with her. But I’m your legal wife… Honey, if… if you like her so much, you can take her in. You don’t have to do this!”

Madam Ouyang ignored the shop-boy and looked at Wei Dahai imploringly, eyes brimming with tears. The sadness in her eyes got much sympathy from the crowd.

If this was true, Madam Ouyang was also a victim. Thinking of this, some people began to feel sorry for her.

“Madam Ouyang, your mouth can eat whatever you want, but you can’t talk nonsense. How do you know we weren’t talking about business? Or did you come here to stir up trouble on purpose? Lord Wei covets my shop and still attempts to get it by cheating. Now, you join in. Won’t you give up until your goal is reached?”

Madame Dong spoke in a slow and deliberate way.

“You’re a mistress. What business can you talk about with him?”

“Do you have to do business behind a closed door? When a man and a woman are in one room, how can they talk about business?”

“Sex trade?” A few people in the crowd sneered, and their words sounded rather unpleasant to the ear.

“Dear… I like Lady Ming… We already have a daughter!” At this time, when the anger faded from his face, Wei Dahai looked bewildered by the situation. He stamped his feet hard as if he had been forced to say that.

By saying that, he confirmed they had a relationship and even a daughter. In this case, how could Madame Dong not be a mistress?

Some people had been hesitating, wondering if they had wronged the shopkeeper. This time, they decisively chose to support Madam Ouyang. “As expected, she is a slut. She has given birth to his daughter, but she refused to admit the affair!”

“No one wants to marry such a woman. How dare she talk back to his legal wife!”

Madame Dong knew Wei Dahai was shameless, but she didn’t expect this. It made her feel angry and hateful toward him. However, she didn’t argue and stepped back.

A neatly dressed servant girl came out from behind the large screen. Her appearance stunned everyone. “Didn’t they say only the man and the woman were talking about business in the room? How could there be someone else?”

In an instant, Wei Dahai’s eyes narrowed. He had been in the room for so long but didn’t find anyone behind the screen.

“Lord Wei, my master was talking to Madame Dong about something, but you rushed in. Thus, my master had to leave to avoid you. We can be regarded as witnesses!” Yujie said coldly, glancing at Wei Dahai and Madam Ouyang. “My master said Madame Dong could sue you for this matter. Madame Dong is your first wife, but you two drove her away. Do you want to force her to do anything again?”

Her words explained the relationship between Madame Dong and Wei Dahai and why they had a child. It turned out Madame Dong was not Wei Dahai’s mistress. Instead, she was his first wife. Therefore, the legal wife was the one who broke up their marriage.

Suddenly, these unfriendly remarks targeting Madame Dong fell on Madam Ouyang. Some of these on-lookers in the marketplace were good at insulting others with filthy language. As a result, Madam Ouyang was so pissed off that she turned red with rage. Today, she and Wei Dahai had planned to catch “the mistress” here. Then, they would coerce Madame Dong into marrying Wei Dahai. Unexpectedly, a master popped up in the room.

Beyond that, the master’s servant girl expressed clearly the history between Madame Dong and him in a few words.

At this moment, anyone with a discerning eye could immediately understand what was happening.

“Who is your master? Why doesn’t your master dare to show up openly?” Madam Ouyang burst into a fury with embarrassment and angrily pointed to Yujie.

“Madam, you’d better not know who my master is. Why must we step out? Since Lord Wei rushed straight in, my master had to find a place in haste to avoid him. However, we didn’t expect to hear such a wonderful argument. You forced a woman to be a concubine. Lord Wei, you put on a brilliant performance. I just heard you lived off a woman. Then, Madam Ouyang came here. Indeed, her masculinity is not in question!”

Yujie answered with a sneer. She was skilled in making sarcastic remarks. More importantly, she didn’t intend to spare Madam Ouyang at this time.

“How dare you!” Madam Ouyang had never been humiliated like this in public, let alone by a servant girl. As cross as a bear, she strode forward to slap Yujie.

Wei Dahai’s face darkened, and his fierce, piercing eyes landed on Yujie. He hated the most others saying that he lived off a woman. With anger, his face turned ghastly pale, and the corners of his mouth twitched, but he couldn’t utter a word.

Yujie took a step back and avoided Madam Ouyang’s hand. Suddenly, she smiled and said, “Do you mean this shop belonged to your mansion in the first place? What a coincidence! Madame Dong happens to have witnesses here, which can prove that this shop has nothing to do with your mansion. It hasn’t been a long time since you found Madame Dong. To get this shop, you could employ the meanest tricks. Please go ahead. His Lord of the Ministry of Justice will come over later!”

“Someone from the Ministry of Justice has intervened!” Wei Dahai and Madam Ouyang exchanged glances and knew something had gone wrong.

Wei Dahai didn’t possess much power. Some affairs he arranged would go through many people’s hands. As such, the people who worked on these things might not even know he was in charge.

“My Lord, how do you explain this? What did you tell me? How could you… lie to me for this woman?” Madam Ouyang reacted very quickly. At once, she turned to Wei Dahai, her lips trembling and tears showering down her cheeks.

She meant Wei Dahai had deceived her, and she didn’t know anything!

“Dear… I… I really want to marry Lady Ming. We separated because of a misunderstanding. I said that because I feared you wouldn’t agree to it.”

Wei Dahai cooperated very well and appeared sad at once. Looking at the sad look on Madam Ouyang’s face, the onlookers felt confused again. They looked around and finally fixed their eyes on Madame Dong, who seemed to be an outsider at this time. She remained calm as if the couple was talking about someone else.

“You two, please come in. My master is waiting for you inside. This matter has to be made clear so as not to make such a scene again.” Yujie stepped aside and made way for them, looking at the couple with a faint smile.

“Your Lord… this matter… You see… I… I don’t care anymore!” Madam Ouyang seemed to be extremely sad. She flicked her sleeves and was about to leave this place in tears.

However, when she turned around helplessly, she found two old maids behind her blocking her way. “Madam Ouyang, please. My master will help you make everything clear today. Even if my master fails, the Ministry of Justice will help. Don’t worry. The Ministry of Justice has always been fair and won’t make things difficult for you two.”

Yujie smiled and watched Madam Ouyang. The two old maids behind her pressed forward aggressively. Although there were old maids from the Wei’s Mansion here, they looked weaker than the two old maids. In addition, Madam Ouyang didn’t dare to start a fight, for she had no idea who the master inside was. Since Wei Dahai’s official rank was too low, many masters in the capital city enjoyed a higher status than him. If they raised an uproar, they might be in great trouble.

Madam Ouyang had to retreat into the room. She turned around when the door was tightly closed, and her face instantly became less sorrowful. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief, looked at Yujie, and said, “About this matter, I… I really didn’t know the truth. My husband still doesn’t forget his former lover after so many years. If… if I had known it, I wouldn’t have let him come here!”

She insisted that she knew nothing and was deceived by Wei Dahai. Also, she said Wei Dahai was in deep love with Madame Dong. In fact, they had discussed all of this before they came here, just in case. At this point, it was just the right time to take the countermeasure. Madam Ouyang secretly thought that if she said this, at least Wei Dahai and she could stay safe!

“But who is the master? Why would the master help Madam Dong?”
