Chapter 46: Tang Chuying’s Marriage

“I am the future mother-in-law of the son of the Marquis of Xuanping!”

Xu Rulan put down Tang Chuhen, covered her mouth and chuckled softly, then approached Mei Niang and whispered, “A lowly servant dares to dream of marrying into the Marquis of Xuanping’s mansion, Mei Xia’e, are you stupid!”

Mei Niang was stunned for a moment, then she became furious, reaching out to slap Xu Rulan’s face. Xu Rulan was knocked to the ground by the slap.

Tang Chuhen immediately rushed to Xu Rulan’s side, sobbing, “Don’t hit my mother!”

“Don’t hit my mother!”

Mei Niang looked at Xu Rulan on the ground with some suspicion. She hadn’t used much force, how did this woman fall to the ground?

Just as she was wondering, a loud slap hit her face. Her face immediately felt burning pain.

Mei Niang covered her face and looked at the person who hit her in disbelief. It was Tang Youze!

“Tang Youze, you dare hit me? I’ll fight you!” Mei Niang seemed to have gone mad, shouting Tang Youze’s name and lunging at him, tearing at him. Soon, several servants came forward and pulled Mei Niang away.

Xu Rulan was pulled up from the ground by Tang Youze at this time. When she looked at Tang Youze, her eyes were full of heartache, “My lord, your face!”

Tang Youze felt a burning pain on his face. He had been scratched by Mei Niang when they were fighting.

Looking at Mei Niang, who was being controlled by the servants, her hair disheveled, her clothes wrinkled, she was simply a country shrew! Tang Youze’s eyes were full of disgust!

“You shrew!”

“This lord doesn’t want to bother with you, but you keep coming to annoy me!”

“Take Mei Niang away and lock her in the ancestral hall!”

Just as the servants were about to drag Mei Niang away, Zhao Mama suddenly stepped forward. Just when everyone thought Zhao Mama would plead for Mei Niang, they heard Zhao Mama say, “My lord, locking Mei Niang in the ancestral hall is too easy on her! Why not punish her by making her take care of the old lady in Rongjin Hall?”

Tang Youze knew that the old lady was bedridden and couldn’t even take care of herself, and that no one dared to enter Rongjin Hall except Zhao Mama.

He pondered for a moment and nodded, saying, “Do as Zhao Mama says!”

“Zhao Mama, you watch over her for this lord. If she slacks off, report it to this lord!”

Tang Youze finished speaking and took Xu Rulan and Tang Chuhen away…

Mei Niang looked at the three people leaving with a dejected expression. At this moment, she felt her heart was ashen!

She thought that after Chi Ran died, her good days would come! Unexpectedly, the old lady and Tang Youze in this Wen Yong Marquis’ mansion were not human!

Zhao Mama had the servants escort Mei Niang to Rongjin Hall, then handed the old lady over to Mei Niang and went to her own room.

In the past, when Mei Niang came to Rongjin Hall to take care of the old lady, she had maidservants to help her, so she didn’t need to do anything herself!

But now, she was the only one in Rongjin Hall, and she had to do everything herself!

For Tang Chuying and Tang Chunan, she endured it!

She endured the nausea and slowly walked towards the bed…

The Marquis of Xuanping’s mansion soon learned that Tang Chuying had been demoted to a lowly servant.

A woman dressed in luxurious clothes came to Moxian Courtyard. This woman had her head adorned with jewels and jade, looking like a nouveau riche. This person was Gu Huaifeng’s mother, A Qingqiu.

When A Qingqiu arrived at Moxian Courtyard with her maidservant, she heard the sound of porcelain breaking inside the room.

She gave her maidservant a look, and the maidservant immediately understood and blocked the other servants and maidservants behind her.

A Qingqiu stepped into the room alone and saw porcelain shards scattered all over the floor. Gu Huaifeng was sitting at the table, his face full of anger.

Gu Huaifeng saw the person coming and quickly stood up to greet her, “Mother has arrived!”

A Qingqiu glanced at Gu Huaifeng indifferently, then said coldly, “Feng’er, if your relatives find out about this, they will scold you again!”’

Gu Huaifeng frowned, his eyes filled with ruthlessness, “Mother, I don’t want to marry Tang Chuying!”

“Slap!”

A Qingqiu directly slapped Gu Huaifeng’s face, “Gu Qingchen’s order, even your own relatives must obey!”

“You don’t want to marry? What were you doing earlier?”

Gu Huaifeng staggered back from the slap, covering his face and saying nothing, his eyes filled with malice.

“Now, you have to marry Tang Chuying, whether you want to or not! You have no choice!”

A Qingqiu’s tone softened slightly, and she continued, “You must know that angering the Regent King at this time is not a good strategy!”

“Even your own relatives will despise you!”

“Then the position of the heir will only be given to your younger brothers!”

“Are you willing to accept that?”

Gu Huaifeng regained his composure, and said unhappily, “Son understands!”

Seeing that Gu Huaifeng had regained his composure, A Qingqiu straightened his collar and said, “Don’t blame your mother for being cruel!”

“Only your mother truly hopes for your happiness in this mansion!”

“Your relatives don’t only have you in their eyes, they also have Heart Niang, Spring Niang, and their sons!”

Gu Huaifeng nodded, “Thank you, Mother, for reminding me. It was my son who lost control of his temper for a moment!”

A Qingqiu looked at him with relief, “My son has suffered!”

“You must find a way to win back Tang Chuyao!”

Gu Huaifeng whispered a few words in A Qingqiu’s ear. A Qingqiu thought for a moment and nodded, “This is the only way for now!”

“As for Tang Chuying, just treat her as a pet in the mansion!”

“The grandson of the Duke’s wife doesn’t want to be born from the belly of this lowly servant!”

A Qingqiu said a few more words before leaving…

The seventh day of the seventh month, the Qixi Festival.

Wen Yong Marquis’ mansion was holding a wedding today, but there was no joy in the mansion.

In Ziying Pavilion, Tang Chuying, although she had been recuperating for ten days, still couldn’t get out of bed. She could only lie in bed and let the maidservants put on her makeup.

These days, the maidservants around her had noticed that she had a black spot on her face. Because of her violent temper and being demoted to a slave, no one dared to remind her!

Bixiang and Bi He, as her bridesmaids, would be married to the Marquis of Xuanping’s mansion together. They both had their own thoughts.

Tang Chuying was now like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others. Bixiang and Bi He were no longer as afraid of her as before!

Once they entered the Marquis of Xuanping’s mansion, with their good looks, they would surely win the favor of the heir!

The two of them tacitly helped Tang Chuying put on her makeup…

Tang Youze specially allowed Mei Niang to leave Rongjin Hall today to see Tang Chuying off.

But when Tang Chuying looked up at Mei Niang, she was stunned for a moment.

For some reason, Mei Niang’s wrinkles had deepened, and there were a few white hairs at her temples. She looked much older.

The clothes she was wearing were old-fashioned, and there was a faint smell of stink coming from her.
