Chapter 225 The Righteous Way (14)
"Mom, you can't think like that. We have to be prepared for danger in times of peace."
Lin Wenqing sat up straight, put down the wine glass and said, "Daughter, have you discovered something?"
"I haven't discovered anything, but I feel that the mistress has been too impulsive recently and wants to beat someone to death at any time. Plus, my eldest brother is in trouble again. He almost beat someone to death last night. If he really can't be cured in the future, I'm afraid they will vent their anger on others, and then the mansion will be in chaos." Lu Changqing said meaningfully.
"Are you afraid that they will beat and kill the servants to vent their anger?"
Lu Changqing nodded.
Lin Wenqing didn't care, "Just beat them up, they have all signed a contract to sell themselves anyway."
Lu Changqing: …
Oh, sorry, she forgot that this person had hired a killer to kill someone in the plot. She originally thought that only the protagonists would do such a thing to take human lives lightly, but she didn't expect that the villains also didn't take the lives of their servants seriously.
"Mom, Dad has been in his current position for several years. Whether he is sent out or continues to stay in the capital, it is reasonable for him to move to a new position. It would not be good if news of the beating and killing of servants spread in the mansion at this time."
Lin Wenqing was confused. "You are right, but what does this have to do with us?"
"I always feel that there will be trouble in the mansion, so you should save some private money secretly without telling the people in the mansion, just in case of emergency."
Lin Wenqing smiled and said, "This is what you are talking about. You don't need to worry about it. If your mother suffers, no one else will suffer."
Seeing that Lin Wenqing knew what was going on, Lu Changqing stopped talking.
Probably because someone saw Doctor Yang entering and leaving the Bai Mansion, gossip about the Bai Mansion spread nearby, but the target of the gossip was not Bai Mingzhou, but Bai Shiyuan.
Bai Shiyuan was like a mute swallowing bitter herbs, unable to express his grievances in words. He couldn't just stand at the door and shout that it was his young eldest son who was in trouble, right?
Facing the meaningful and teasing looks from his colleagues, Bai Shiyuan wanted to die. He finally experienced what it felt like to have mud dripping down his pants.
The air pressure in the front yard has been very low during this period. Every time Bai Shiyuan got angry in the yamen, he would take it out on Du Hezhi when he came back.
Du Hezhi also has a bit of a temper. It's okay if it happens once or twice, but she would also get annoyed if she was scolded every day. From time to time, you could hear the mother-in-law and father-in-law quarreling in the yard.
Du Hezhi could still quarrel with Bai Shiyuan, but He Guiyi was completely unable to do so. It was as if a love brain virus program was implanted in her brain. She allowed Bai Mingzhou to get angry at her. Not only did she not get angry, she also humbled herself and comforted him gently and tenderly.
In the original plot, He Guiyi was able to gain Bai Mingzhou's "respect" by kneeling down to wash a man's underwear.
Virtuous, generous, hardworking, gentle and considerate, never fighting back when beaten or scolded, isn't this the type of woman who is a good wife and mother that men like most?
If Du Hezhi is the arrogant and domineering lady of a noble family commonly seen in novels, with a hint of human temper, then He Guiyi is a puppet without self and thoughts, a puppet doll carefully crafted by the author as one of the heroine's backers.
As a good wife, she does not need to be too smart, because everything will be up to her husband who will be a capable minister in the future. She only needs to be gentle, virtuous, obedient, observe the rules, and do the "duties" required of a wife in this plane.
Lu Changqing was quite curious about how long the plot of this world would affect these supporting characters. After all, the plot worlds he had encountered before were crazy, but in terms of feudalism and corruption, they were not even half as bad as this world.
In the middle of the night, a woman's heart-wrenching cry was heard from Songtaoyuan. Lu Changqing was awakened, put on his clothes and hurried over.
She thought Bai Mingzhou had attacked the maid beside him, but when she ran over she found out that it was the drunk Bai Mingzhou who was arguing with He Guiyi.
Seeing Du Hezhi approaching, He Guiyi, who was pregnant, threw herself into his arms and cried, "Mom, my husband just beat me and said he wanted to divorce me."
Du Hezhi got angry when he heard this.
Ever since Bai Mingzhou was diagnosed with impotence by a doctor, his temper became violent and erratic. He would get angry at people around him at any time. The servants serving him changed several times. Not only that, he also developed a drinking problem.
Although the alcohol content was not high at that time, Bai Mingzhou held the jar of wine all day long and was rarely sober every day. Of course, it was not ruled out that he was pretending to be crazy under the influence of alcohol.
"Are you crazy? Guiyi's belly is so big, what if something happens during the fight? She's carrying your child!"
Lu Changqing looked at He Guiyi's belly. Since Bai Mingzhou was a member of the protagonist group and was influenced by the protagonist's halo, the baby in He Guiyi's belly was a boy.
Bai Mingzhou sat on the ground, raised the wine jar and took a big gulp from it, then threw the jar to the ground and said, "So what if I beat her? I beat her! She's my woman, can't I beat her?"
Du Hezhi was very disappointed with Bai Mingzhou's recent state. In addition, she had been quarreling with Bai Shiyuan every day recently, and her temper was worse than usual. When she saw Bai Mingzhou talking back to her, she was so angry that she slapped him in the face.
"Your wife's belly is so big, if something happens to her, do you want to end your family lineage?"
Du Hezhi was also very angry, and his voice was shaking.
"Your wife comforts you and takes care of you every day. She never leaves you. She never gives up on you, but you give up on yourself. How could I give birth to such a loser like you!"
Du Hezhi's words were a bit harsh. Bai Xingke tugged at Du Hezhi's sleeve and gently called her "mother", then shook his head at her, signaling her not to scold Bai Mingzhou anymore.
But Bai Mingzhou was immediately defeated when he heard Du Hezhi's words. He shouted without caring about anything, "I'm a coward! I'm a waste! If you look down on me, why did you give birth to me? Get out! Get out!"
Du He was so angry that his hands were shaking. He slapped Bai Mingzhou hard again, "Are you sober?"
Bai Mingzhou's face was slapped to the side, his chest heaving up and down, his face red and his neck thick as he gasped for breath.
Du Hezhi said with deep sorrow: "I know that incident had a great impact on you, but you have a wife and a child now, so you don't have too many regrets. The most important thing for you now is to study for the imperial examination. You failed the exam three years ago. Do you want to fail again next year?"
When Bai Mingzhou heard this, he became even angrier. "Imperial examination, imperial examination, imperial examination again! Is it the only imperial examination in your eyes?"
Lu Changqing was sharp-eyed and saw Bai Xingke slightly tilt her head to avoid Bai Mingzhou's saliva. At the same time, she was glad that she was standing farther away, otherwise her face would also be washed by Bai Mingzhou's saliva.
