Huh? The Tyrant Cries After My Inner Thoughts Were Exposed!-Chapter 137: After All We’ve Done for You

A few servants rushed forward to drag them out, trying to expel them. During the scuffle, the couple’s faces turned ugly, and they shouted, "She’s my daughter! How can you say you don’t know her!"

Pointing at Mr. Li and the others, she cursed angrily, "You’re abducting a young lady!"

"You ungrateful wretch! We gave birth to you and raised you for nothing!"

"Even sent you to the Prefectural Magistrate Mansion to be a concubine!"

[Wow, listen to that, Li the fool took someone else’s concubine!]

The crowd was so excited that their palms were sweating. How thrilling!

The beautiful concubine turned pale white and hid behind Mr. Li, clutching her sleeves tightly, her voice timid, "Master... I really don’t know them."

"Now you’re pretending to be dead to climb your way up in the Capital City and don’t even recognize your own parents!"

[Girl, you’re foolish, haven’t you realized you’re on the wrong path?]

The crowd was shocked. A Magistrate Palace and now a false death... There must be a big story behind this!

Su Juan squinted, [This concubine is something, not even recognizing her parents, it’s quite a drama.]

The crowd instantly felt regret. If they had known they would witness such an event today, they would have definitely brought some sunflower seeds!

Seeing people about to be chased out, the crowd grew anxious. If they leave, what else can we watch?

[Hey! Don’t leave, you can skip meals or sleep, but you can’t miss a good show!]

Everyone agreed: Yeah, if you watch half of it and don’t understand, how uncomfortable would that be!

At that moment, Mrs. Li spoke up, "Hold on!" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Covered in dazzling light, Mrs. Li stepped forward a few paces, halting them, turned her head to her husband, "Husband, these three suddenly causing a scene and claiming we’re kidnapping a young lady, isn’t it damaging the Li Family’s reputation? We should get to the bottom of this."

Mr. Li’s face turned ugly, "Wife, is it necessary?"

Mrs. Li looked at the beautiful concubine behind her husband, a smile on her face with hidden daggers, "Husband, if we just send them away without clarifying, and they report us to the Government, spreading the matter around would be improper."

Always suspected this girl had an unclear background. Even a regular family must meet the girl’s parents before taking a concubine, yet this girl just arrived in a carriage through the back gate, surely there’s something fishy!

Relying on a few poems to flaunt her power in the mansion, daring to tread on her head.

Does she really think it’s so easy to enter a noble family?

Su Juan squinted, [After all, Li the fool’s wife is the only daughter of Mr. Mo, Li the fool couldn’t be foolish enough to offend Mr. Mo, could he?]

The crowd, hearing this, suddenly remembered: almost forgot, Mr. Li got his position with the support of the Yue Family. Offending his wife like this truly is foolish.

Mrs. Li seemed about to turn against Mr. Li.

Since their marriage, after many years as an old married couple, his wife had never spoken to him like this before. Mr. Li almost forgot she had the backing of the Mo Family. Now, with ingratiating words, he said, "Wife, let’s discuss this later, first, let’s get these troublemakers out..."

But Mrs. Li sneered coldly and turned to the troublemaking trio, "Is this really your daughter?"

"Think carefully before answering. If there’s any lie, don’t blame me for sending you to be beaten to death at Jingzhao Government!"

The three were terrified, "Madam! She really is our daughter, Tong Wanru. We are from Jiang State Yang County, just send someone to check, everyone there knows!"

The beautiful concubine’s face turned white, and she nervously shouted, "I am not Tong Wanru..."

"Slap!" Mrs. Li slapped the concubine, her eyes fierce, "I’m speaking, and you dare to interrupt?"

The slap scared many, the concubine’s tears fell like beads, her pleading gaze turned to Mr. Li, making her seem pitifully heartbroken.

Mr. Li didn’t dare make a sound, cowed by his wife.

The concubine cried even more miserably, Su Juan couldn’t help but sigh, [Crying so sadly, as if she lost her husband, truly pitiful.]

"Pfft!" Xie Xun couldn’t hold it and sprayed out a mouthful of tea!

Su Juan: "?"

She turned her puzzled eyes to Xie Xun, feeling strange how he managed to choke on tea.

Those nearby turned angrily, but upon seeing it was Xie Xun, the son of Duke Ping, their anger vanished, replaced by a fawning expression.

Right now, nobody paid attention here, all listening to the troublemakers’ family history.

The couple said they were from Jiang State Yang County, with a son and a daughter. The daughter, beautiful, was taken in as a concubine by Judge Wu from Jiang State. Months ago, when they went to Wu Mansion to find her, they were told Tong Wanru died of illness, but there wasn’t even a grave; they brought their daughter’s portrait asking around for clues and eventually arrived in the Capital City.

Everyone was shocked, being Judge Wu’s concubine from Jiang State, how did she end up as a concubine in the Li Family?

"I don’t get how Judge Wu’s concubine became the concubine of this man."

"Who knows."

"Did Mr. Li know about this?"

"Surely not, if he did, how could she end up in his mansion?"

"I doubt it."

Su Juan laughed, [He surely knew, she was delivered to the Li Family by Judge Wu’s carriage.]

The crowd was shocked, "Judge Wu from Jiang State actually sent his concubine to Mr. Li, that... that’s absurd!"

Mr. Li’s face turned even uglier, knowing that if this continued, it would be hard to wrap up.

He pulled his wife aside, whispering, "I’ll explain to you later, this shouldn’t make a big scene..."

Mrs. Li suddenly laughed coldly aloud, "Why shouldn’t it make a scene? Li Ren, I truly didn’t expect you to have such a taste, forcibly taking someone else’s concubine, you’ve got some nerve."

Someone questioned, "But Tong Wanru is beautiful and young, how could Judge Wu bear to give her to Mr. Li?"

"If it were me, I wouldn’t bear to."

"Must have been for some benefit..."

"Shh!"

"This is still the Li Mansion, speaking so loudly... are you courting death?"

Su Juan chuckled, [Isn’t it so! Giving Judge Wu’s son a good position, delivering this concubine is really worth it.]

When this was said, the crowd was shocked, even Mrs. Li was stunned, looking in disbelief at her husband, "You... how dare you!?"

This Vice Director position was recommended by her father to Your Majesty, how dare he use it for such bribery!

Mr. Li went pale, "I didn’t give him any benefit!"

But by then, no one believed his explanation, everyone firmly believed Su Juan’s words.

Mrs. Li’s eyes reddened with anger, pointing at Mr. Li, her fingers trembling, "Can you tell yourself this without feeling guilty!?"

Su Juan kept shaking her head, [A good wife, but the husband is an old fool.]

The crowd sighed: Isn’t it so, the only daughter of Mr. Mo, back then, how many sought her hand in marriage, failing to win it.

[Divorce, why bother.]

The crowd: Yes... what?

Divorce?
