229 Chapter 229 The Hidden Story

Aunt Mei started crying when she heard that. Then, she said while crying, “Ever since the incident at the Gu family in the capital two years ago, our madam’s life has not been good.

“She had been poisoned once before, and it was then that I heard it was Young Master Chengrui who had cured her of it.

“Ever since she went back last time, madam’s life had worsened. Not long after, her second daughter fell into the water and almost lost her life.

“Madam was in a terrible state of mind and moved to the manor.

“She had stayed there for more than a year, and she didn’t expect that her husband’s new wife would give birth to a son.

“A month ago, her ex-mother-in-law urged the husband to demote madam to a concubine.

“However, if the madam became a concubine, her two young daughters would become daughters to a concubine. This would be bad news once they fell into the hands of the new madam; therefore, madam proposed a divorce.

“However, they were unwilling. In the end, madam had to give up the manor and two shops that her granduncle had given her in the past to escape from the family.

“But they were still persistent in introducing another man to the madam, trying to get into being a concubine too. Madam refused and returned here, not expecting that person to still pursue her.”

“Speak clearly. Who is the one who bullied her and who gave birth to a son for that bastard?” Gu Chengrui clenched his fists and said.

No wonder Gu Ziyi refused to stay in the village after she came back. It was because of this.

She was also a fool. This wouldn’t have happened out of the blue if she had explained her situation earlier.

“It’s her ex-mother-in-law and the new madam.” Aunt Mei said.

“Who is the new madam? What’s her status in the capital? How did she get together with your old master?” Zhou Ying asked in an unpleasant tone.

“The new madam is the magistrate’s concubine daughter from Kaiyang Prefecture. After a prefecture meeting, she was taken in as a concubine.

“Ever since she entered the manor, her ex-mother-in-law had suddenly favored her greatly.

“In the beginning, our master still felt a little guilty about taking in another concubine. But after three months, his heart went that way too.”

“The magistrate of the Kaiyang Prefecture.” Gu Chengrui had a thoughtful expression on his face.

It seemed that this matter was most likely the doing of the eldest prince’s faction. What a shameless person! It appeared that they would only be at ease once they had completely ruined the Gu family.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that he still had an aunt in the capital. He wondered how she was doing now.

However, based on the current situation, she was probably in a worse state than Gu Ziyi.

After that, he stood up and said, “Ying, go back to the village and report to our eldest uncle. Let’s see what he has to say.

“I’ll bring some people over to big sister’s side.

“Alright, but the governor’s cracking down on violence now. You have to pay attention to your limits.”

“I will. Don’t worry.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he brought Aunt Mei and Fang Qing to find Li Si. They hired over ten street punks through him, rushing to Gu Ziyi’s house.

By the time they arrived, Gu Ziyi’s coachman was already lying on the ground, unable to get up.

The two children were also tied to one side. A man was discussing what they should do to Gu Ziyi while the remaining six people gathered around to comment.

Seeing this, Gu Chengrui was furious. He had never seen such a lawless person, even more inhumane than thugs.

“Tie them up,” he ordered immediately.

At the same time, he rushed out and kicked the man away.

He rushed over, grabbed the man by the collar, and slapped him repeatedly until his hands hurt. Then, he dislocated his arms while he was still in a daze.

At the same time, the six people the man had brought with him were quickly subdued, and the courtyard was suddenly filled with yells and noises.
