Concubine Mei suffered such a heavy slap. Her cheeks immediately swelled up, and she raised her eyes in disbelief to look at General Yu, and stammered, “Master, you...you don’t believe me?”
General Yu was furious like thunder: “Do I believe you? I believe you are crafty!”
If it was a bad person, why didn’t Concubine Mei call for help? With so many women guarding outside, as long as she shouted loudly, someone would rush in to protect her. How could she be assaulted?
Even though he had reached the door, Concubine Mei said she would not let him in!
Although General Yu was carefree, he was not stupid in this respect. He remembered Concubine Mei’s rhetoric, who chose to move to the West Wing alone as an excuse for unwillingness to influence him to rest at night. He did not expect that she was actually looking for a chance to fool around with adulterers!
Where did General Yu guess Concubine Mei’s thoughts? As a woman, she was assaulted by a man who jumped in the window in the middle of the night. Would she dare to shout? There were a bunch of women outside, and there was her own husband in the main room. If they saw her, would she still have the face of the household manager? How could General Yu believe that she was innocent?
But now, when she encountered danger, she didn’t ask anyone to help. Instead, she was charged with adultery.
Concubine Mei clutched her swollen cheeks, fell on the ground, and weepingly grabbed General Yu’s robe and feet: “Master, I was really wronged. I don’t know that man!”
General Yu kicked her hard, shook off her holding hand, and said angrily: “You don’t know him? If you don’t know him, then how did he get in?”
Although the backyard of the Yu house was not large, it was heavily locked. If someone was not leading the way to the inner yard, how could a strange man come in and break into Concubine Mei’s room? If you say this, only a fool will believe it!
Concubine Mei couldn’t argue. She was afraid and sad, and she cried: “Master, you must believe me, I didn’t do anything to offend you, master!”
It’s just that no matter what she said, General Yu would not believe her. His own woman was embracing a naked man in the middle of the night. This was what he saw with his own eyes. If he believed this woman again, then he was the biggest fool in the world.
General Yu stared at Concubine Mei bitterly, and cursed: “Bitch, get out of here!”
He wouldn’t be like many men who have their wives cheat on them but stupidly ask why. In his eyes, it was clear. A woman had betrayed him. There was absolutely no possibility of forgiveness. Taking the whip to kill her would be the greatest forgiveness for her.
Concubine Mei was so shocked that there was no blood on her face. She raised her head and stared at General Yu in a daze: “Master, do...do you want me to leave?”
Her whole world was completely shattered because of General Yu’s concise words.
Was General Yu going to send her away? Where could she go, a helpless woman? How would she live the rest of her life?
She came to the capital for him to stay away from her homeland. She tried her best to manage the family business for him. She was tortured for his pregnancy and childbirth. But he didn’t believe her and wanted to drive her away in the cold winter!?
She looked up at this resolute face, the face she once deeply admired, and the man in front of her made her give up everything, but in the end, it was like this.
The child in the belly seemed to perceive the mother’s fear and despair and twisted uncomfortably. Concubine Mei clutched her belly and shook her head desperately: “No...Master, you can’t drive me away, I still have your child...I still have a baby...”
Regardless of the child, General Yu was even angrier when she mentioned the child. He squatted down and pinched Concubine Mei’s neck, forcing her to look at him.
“Child? Do you dare to speak of the child!? I ask you, whose bastard is it!? Tell me, tell me!”
Concubine Mei hardly believed her ears. What kind of man was this, to say that the child in her belly was not his!
Tears fell like a broken pearl necklace, and Concubine Mei shook her head in pain, crying: “Master, I have been with you for more than three years. Don’t you believe me? Of course, this child belongs to you. Master, even if you don’t have mercy on me, I beg you for the sake of the child—”
The answer to her was General Yu’s fierce slap. Concubine Mei was pushed to the ground, there was broken skin on her hands and face, and traces of blood oozed out.
She didn’t care about the pain in her body. She protected her belly with one hand and supported the ground with the other. She wanted to sit up and try to grab General Yu’s hand.
“Master, I have really wronged you. Master, you have to believe me—”
If her beloved was another man, perhaps her pleading would be exchanged for pity, but unfortunately, her man was General Yu, a selfish and indifferent man, a man who can ignore his wife and children.
Such a man only has himself in his heart, so how could he sympathize with others, let alone forgive a woman who was caught by him on the spot?
His liking for her was not even counted as possession, just for venting his own sexual desires, just for his own sensory pleasure.
Nothing in the world was more important than himself, and nothing could challenge this man’s dignity.
Yu Linglong had calculated this for him, so she arranged such a farce.
General Yu looked at Concubine Mei who was prostrate on the ground in disgust, turned his head, and screamed impatiently at the women on the side: “What are you still doing, why don’t you throw this bitch out!”
The women looked at each other. After all, they didn’t dare to violate General Yu’s order, so they moved.
Although Concubine Mei was their mistress, the biggest master in the Yu Mansion was General Yu. No one dared to provoke this grumpy master, and no one wanted to get his whip.
Concubine Mei was clutching her belly tightly, her eyes filled with tears of horror. She shook her head desperately: “No...don’t...don’t come over!”
It’s a pity that her weak appearance couldn’t attract the slightest sympathy from others. The women grabbed her arms, dragged her out of the room, and walked out the door.
Through the Yu Mansion in the middle of the night, the voice of Concubine Mei’s crying and begging echoed for a long time.
...
Yu Linglong just smiled when she learned that Concubine Mei was kicked out of the house.
In fact, this plan was not comprehensive. If you carefully examine it, you can find many loopholes. If General Yu was calmer and sensible, he would find that Concubine Mei’s adultery was actually quite suspicious.
But she was right about General Yu’s hot temper, and she was right that General Yu wouldn’t think so much, that he would just rush forward hurriedly, and without others fanning the flames, he would jump into the trap by himself.
After having a falling out with Concubine Mei, Yu Linglong decided to get rid of the puppet that was no longer obedient. She knew very well that Concubine Mei could get to this step, and it definitely was not useless. With her position as manager of the house, as well as the accumulated ears and eyes, it was not easy to set a trap for her.
Moreover, the current Concubine Mei was very popular with General Yu. If she wanted a fatal blow and to completely defeat Concubine Mei, it was the easiest and fastest way to plan for her to have an affair with a man.
But, where would she find this man?
This was not a difficult problem for Yu Linglong. She ordered someone to find a hoodlum from the street, promised him three hundred taels of silver, and quietly brought him into the inner house while it was dark, and pointed Concubine Mei’s residence out to him. After a few words, it happened.
In this world, there will always be many people who are willing to do anything for money. She understood this truth in her previous life.
She didn’t think it was a big deal to frame Concubine Mei, so what if she ruined her reputation and innocence? It was polite enough to keep her alive.
However, some people refused to accept her love. Obviously, it was already a dead end, but they wanted to smash the South Wall.
Xuan Cao came to report to Yu Linglong early in the morning: “Concubine Mei was kicked out of the house last night, and she has been kneeling outside the gate. She keeps saying that she was wronged, and she asked the master to take care of the child in her belly and leave her a way to survive...”
While listening, Yu Linglong slowly shook her head with regret. She had given Concubine Mei a way out. With her cleverness and wisdom, and when she was a housekeeper in the house, she secretly misappropriated the family business. She could live without worrying about food and clothing.
She actually wanted to know what made Concubine Mei so persistent. Was it her love for General Yu? Or the fear of living alone?
Yu Linglong couldn’t understand Concubine Mei, because she didn’t have the word “dependent” in her dictionary.
There were many women like Concubine Mei, who did not have to worry about food or drink, and could live well by themselves. They just couldn’t live without a man. They wanted to rely on men for everything, perhaps because of their emptiness, or perhaps because they were too cowardly. In short, some women can’t live without a man.
Yu Linglong didn’t care what Concubine Mei thought, but she didn’t want to see what had been done, and what happened now.
Since Concubine Mei still stalked and refused to leave, Yu Linglong didn’t mind pushing her again.
If you want to do something bad, then simply do it.
It was already three hours after sunrise. Outside the gate of the Yu house, a young woman with a delicate face and a bloated figure knelt on the ground, crying until her voice was hoarse, and confided her grievances to the closed gate over and over again.
“Woo...Master, I was really wronged! Please open the door, don’t drive Mei’er out alone, woo...Master, have you forgotten, when I was in northern Xinjiang... “
Concubine Mei was still a little bit distracted. Starting from the time when the two met in northern Xinjiang and then recalling the two people’s more than three years together, she was reminiscing bitterness and sweetness.
The sound of her crying attracted many people who watched the excitement and pointed at the Yu house. Even if General Yu ignored his three-year relationship with Concubine Mei, he had to show up for the face of the Yu house.
At this time, General Yu was really standing behind the gate, his face pale, but hesitant.
Was he too reckless last night? Concubine Mei was in the capital with him for less than a year, so why did she have an adulterous affair so soon? If the child in her belly was a bastard if it is really his own child...
General Yu was hesitating, but the situation outside the gate changed again.
He saw a young man rushing out of the crowd. He stepped forward and hugged Concubine Mei who was kneeling on the ground, and said loudly: “That man is so cruel to you, why do you still ask him? Mei’er, follow me—”
When things started suddenly, the crowd suddenly heard a voice of surprise. Under the eyes of everyone, Concubine Mei raised her eyes and looked at the man holding her, and her face suddenly changed: “It’s you!?”
This person turned out to be the man who broke into her room last night!
Concubine Mei was shocked, desperately trying to push the man away: “Let go of me, I don’t recognize you at all!”
Reluctantly, this person held her tightly and did not let go, and what he said was like thunder, rolling past the ears of everyone present—
“Mei’er, don’t you believe me? If the glory and wealth are gone, it will be gone. Let’s live well, I will treat you well, and our child—”
Concubine Mei only felt that her eyes were getting dark for a while, looking at this man she had never met. She was ashamed and angry, and hissed: “Who are you? Why do you want to ruin my reputation? Are you not afraid of being beaten to death?”
A frivolous smile crossed the man’s face. A pair of big hands took the opportunity to pinch her waist, and he smiled: “Mei’er, don’t be mean. The night before, who kept calling my name—”
General Yu heard this inside the gate. His eyes were red with anger, and he pulled the latch and rushed out.
“You adulterers, see if I won’t kill you both!”
Seeing General Yu running out waving the door latch, the man holding Concubine Mei was shocked but did not run away like last night. Instead, he pulled Concubine Mei into his arms tighter and shouted at General Yu: “Mei’er and I are happy in love—”
General Yu was so angry that his forehead buzzed, and he didn’t even hear what the man was saying. The latch in his hand slammed down without thinking: “Bitch! Whore! I’ll kill you!”
The man hugged Concubine Mei tightly. He screamed loudly, and he kept dodging from left to right. On the surface, he was desperately protecting Concubine Mei and blocking her rain-like beating by General Yu, but he was actually pushing Concubine Mei to the door of General Yu, and within a few blows, Concubine Mei couldn’t stand it anymore, and she kept screaming.
“Master, listen to me, I really don’t know him—”
How could General Yu listen to her discernment? Seeing Concubine Mei and a man hugging each other and blocking each other, they looked affectionate and sentimental, General Yu was going crazy.
“You whore, I’m not good to you at all, you fucking cuckolded me—” General Yu said as he beat them frantically until Concubine Mei gave a scream of horror and lay on her belly on the ground. General Yu stopped beating them.
Concubine Mei was rolling on the ground in pain, and she kept groaning as if she was undergoing great torture.
A stream of bright red blood slowly poured out from the bottom of her skirt, and the snow that covered her body was red.
Among the crowd of onlookers, those who saw something good immediately yelled: “Oh, she is going to give birth
