Chapter 1441: Chapter 1379: Ruthlessly Direct Methods
Wu Lihong had never felt so humiliated and disgraced; there were thieves in the house, but he couldnât report it to the authorities because these people were originally sent by him to the Changqing Residence for some sneaky antics. If these thieves turned around and bit back, where would he put his face?
Therefore, he could only let Fu Gui send them far away as if they hadnât been caught, and the previous reward silver couldnât be reclaimed. He issued strict prohibitions to the servants not to spread the news, otherwise, how would he explain that there were thieves in the house, yet there was no report to the authorities and no news? People might think that the thieves entered the womenâs private quarters, and there was something shameful that needed to be covered up.
Luckily, it was discovered early, and the thieves ran away without being caught.
But Wu Lihong was frustrated and furious. That damn girl, how could she be so ruthless!
Hate mixed with fear; Wufu being able to catch the few wasnât a big deal, but to quietly send them back into the house, and into the womenâs quarters, truly shocked him.
That damn girl, how much power does she have that they are unaware of?
"Itâs simply lawless! How has the Wu Family wronged her? Theyâre trying to disgrace our familyâs name. She has such a vicious heart. As a woman herself, how does she not understand the importance of a womanâs reputation? Sheâs pushing our female family members into the fire pit!" Old Madam Wu, awakened from sleep, slapped the bedside angrily, venting her grievances.
She never thought when sending people to steal that Wufu and her companions are also women. If exposed, they too would lose their reputation.
Itâs like the county magistrate torching homes but forbidding the people to light lanterns. Does that make any sense?
Theyâre just repaying in kind.
Madam Wang kept her head down and did not speak, trembling all over, uncertain if from shock or rage, the teacup in her hand shaking slightly.
Not only was Wu Lihong frustrated and furious, but she, having lived to such an age, had never been subjected to such humiliation and fright.
The adversary only had to throw someone into her room to frighten her, let alone if they tossed him into her bed.
No one knows, not even those on Ningningâs side, and this is the second time.
The first time they sneaked into Wu Yiningâs room and attacked her, now again throwing a man into her room. Madam Wang felt as if she was immersed in an icy cellar, cold enough to shiver.
A womanâs reputation is invaluable; she even felt those mocking eyes around her!
So ruthless, she is incredibly ruthless, such a vicious girl!
Her means are so blunt and direct; she is ruthless!
"Tell me, how can this matter be settled? What does she intend to do!" Old Madam Wu asked furiously.
Wu Lihong said, "Mother, what can I do?" He glanced sidelong at Madam Wang, muttering, "Initially, I decisively agreed to that damn girl; if I had married Mei Niang as my second wife, none of this would have happened!"
Now, scandals are emerging one after another, and yet he still feels helpless towards that mother and daughter!
Itâs simply suffocating!
Wu Lihong glared at Madam Wang with disdain, blaming her for blocking his plans, otherwise, this would have been resolved long ago.
Madam Wang raised her head, seeing Wu Lihongâs accusatory and disdainful gaze, her heart chilled, anger blazing forth, she coldly retorted, "Why is Master looking at me like that? Is it me who has caused chaos in the Wu Family? Is it me who attracted that mother and daughter?"
Ever since those damn women arrived in Changan, the Wu Family has known no peace. Whose fault is this? Itâs Wu Lihongâs, all his doing inviting this cursed debt!
