233 His Wife Will Be Gone
At this moment, Concubine Wan actually felt that she was blind to have taken a fancy to Zhao Hongwei! She previously felt that his carefree personality was very good, but now it seemed that he was asking for a beating! She had to fight! He could always change after a few more beatings!
“Hey, Concubine Wan and Concubine Fang, I was wrong just now. Why are you… Sigh, what an insult to a gentleman, what an insult to a gentleman!” Zhao Hongwei had a look of disbelief on his face. Because of this pause, he took two more hits.
Concubine Fang hugged the large metal rod and looked coldly at the others, “The house rules the marquis’s residence is that no one else is allowed to get involved in our matters.”
Everyone was frightened by Concubine Wan and Concubine Fang and no one dared to step forward to help. Why did they not help? It was because before Madam Xue had passed away, they often brought people to the Lotus Restaurant to catch adulterers in the act. Zhao Hongwei had told the restaurant staff not to meddle in other people’s business, and he himself had fooled the silly Madam Xue into leaving. The manservants who had spoken up for Zhao Hongwei were all scolded. That was why everyone knew that Zhao Hongwei was a man with no bottom line when it came to love.
Zhao Hongwei loved every single concubine in the Zhao residence, so even though he was being beaten up, perhaps this was just fun between him and the concubines. Hence, everyone was watching Zhao Hongwei get beaten up.
The pretty woman next to him was so frightened by the scene that her face turned pale and tears welled up in her eyes. She thought, “Didn’t you say that the concubines in the residence are all very gentle? Marquis, don’t you trick me …
“I… I’m just a passer-by, I have no relationship with the marquis.” The beautiful woman hurriedly waved her hand and hid in the crowd. She looked at Zhao Hongwei with a sad gaze. ‘Marquis Zhao, let’s meet again in our next life. I won’t go with you in this life. Your concubines are too scary.’
Everyone watched helplessly as Zhao Hongwei was escorted back by his concubines with dark expressions. For a moment, the people of Jing City sighed. “Sigh, the Zhao family doesn’t have a man to establish a family. Moreover, the daughter-in-law has been captured by the government for interrogation. I heard that the empress and the Pure Consort are personally supervising her. The only man in the Zhao family who can carry the burden is still indulging in debauchery. General Zhao’s wife, who he finally married with great difficulty, is probably going to leave.”
Zhao Hongwei was beaten black and blue as he brought him back to the Zhao residence. He had wanted to call for help from the concubines, but who knew that the other concubines would come up and give him another round of beating? These concubines all seemed to have been bewitched.
“He deserves it. He got so many concubines. The more people there are, the more people will beat him up!” Concubine Yuan scolded and was so angry that her teeth itched, “If your daughter-in-law, Jiang Xi, is beheaded this time, the Zhao family line will end!” Zhao Hongwei’s only son had finally managed to marry a wife. If she was gone, the Zhao family would be doomed!
Zhao Hongwei was stunned.
“Sister-in-law has been taken away by the government. They are saying that she murdered the prince! Zhao Panpan and the empress were personally monitoring the progress of the case! Zhao Panpan wanted to kill my sister-in-law!” Zhao Yingying rushed out, her face full of hatred.
Zhao Hongwei’s face was covered in bruises. It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him. He felt a chill all over his body.
“Officer, please make an exception. I’ll just go in and take a look. She’s young and can’t stand hardships. Please let me in and take…” Concubine Yuan was holding a lunchbox in her hand, taking out a stack of money and wanting to give it to the official.
The officer was a little tempted, but the person next to him pulled him back and shook his head slightly. The officer immediately retracted his hand. “Go away, go away! How can you visit someone who is going to be executed for an unforgivable crime? When it’s time to behead them at the market, you can come and collect their bodies. Go, go, don’t block the entrance!” The officer waved his hand impatiently.
There was a message from the palace that the criminal locked up inside was Jing City’s most wanted criminal and had taken several lives. If something went wrong, they would not be able to bear the consequences. It was said that because of this criminal, the children in Zhao Panpan’s stomach were almost lost.
“Impossible, my sister-in-law has been wrongly accused. Zhao Panpan, you treacherous woman You plotted against my sister-in-law, you animal!” Zhao Yingying broke down when she saw the officer’s attitude! Her entire body went soft as she cursed fiercely in the direction of the palace. Concubine Yuan was so frightened that her face turned pale and she covered her mouth. Under the watchful eyes of the official, she was dragged away.
“No, no, it must be Zhao Panpan who wants to harm my sister-in-law. The empress is helping the evildoer. These people will get their retribution!” Zhao Yingying was filled with regret. She felt that she had failed to protect Jiang Xi. Now that Jiang Xi was in trouble, she could not help at all. She was in despair, just like how she had been burned by fire in her previous life…
