Chapter 32 Catching the Adulterer at the Yang Mansion
It was at 9 PM.
Ruyi's lover was named Hu Wei. On a dark and windy night, he sneaked into the Yang residence.
He hadn't seen Ruyi for three days, and he was really itching to see her.
Not knowing if Ruyi had enough musk, he was afraid he wouldn't have enough, so he brought some more with him.
Although the thought of Ruyi sharing a bed with Yang Junyan made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
But so what? As long as he kills the wife's child, Yang Junyan will be unable to have any more children in the future.
At that time, his child will naturally become a child of the Yang family, and once Ruyi is officially recognized as the legitimate son, he will be the heir.
Although Hu Wei was just a handyman, he felt a sense of pleasure at the thought of being able to treat these princes and nobles so badly.
In fact, this wasn't the first time he had met with Ruyi in secret.
Choosing to have a date at the Yang residence offers a unique and exciting experience.
However, for some reason, Hu Wei's eyelids have been twitching all day.
He pressed his hand to his eyes, but his eyelids were still twitching.
He had a bad feeling.
I wanted to go back, but I saw that familiar figure emerge from behind the big tree.
It was late at night, and the person had their head down, but judging from their curvaceous figure, he knew it was Ruyi.
Seeing Ruyi made me feel much more at ease, and I couldn't resist going to greet her.
She immediately hugged the person's waist and said, "Ruyi, my darling, I've missed you so much."
The person in front of me did not speak.
“Once your first wife dies and you take over, we’ll have better days,” Hu Wei continued.
Hu Wei, holding the person in front of him, suddenly felt something was wrong. Ruyi seemed to have lost some weight than usual.
Just as I was about to push the person away to see what was going on, suddenly, a commotion arose all around, and torches were lit up all around, their light particularly dazzling in the pitch-black night.
Hu Wei was completely numb; he had no idea what had happened.
Just as he was about to run, several people rushed up to him, grabbed him, and twisted his arm behind his back with force, making him wince in pain. He was then forced to kneel on the cold ground.
Hu Wei was completely dumbfounded.
He never imagined that he would be caught so blatantly while having an affair at the Yang residence.
His mind was buzzing. It took him a while to realize that he had been tricked; the other side must have known he was coming and had been lying in ambush.
Looking up, the firelight illuminated "Ruyi's" face, but the person was not Ruyi at all; he didn't recognize her at all.
She looked very different from Ruyi; she had a small nose and small eyes, yet she was wearing Ruyi's clothes.
At that moment, three people walked towards him.
Looking up, I saw an old woman, an old man, and a middle-aged man.
He recognized these people; they were the master and mistress of the Yang family, and the middle-aged man was Ruyi's husband, Yang Junyan.
Hu Wei was so frightened that his lower lip trembled uncontrollably.
Suddenly I felt a heat in my lower body and I urinated.
Yang Junyan strode aggressively toward him, his face flushed red, and kicked him directly in the face.
Hu Wei felt a sharp pain on his face and was stunned by the kick. Warm blood gushed from his nose, and he wondered if his nose was broken.
Yang Junyan was still not satisfied, so he kicked Hu Wei in the face several more times. Before long, Hu Wei's face was bruised and swollen, and even his own mother could not recognize him.
"Alright, hurry up and ask the questions," the old lady scolded from the side.
Hu Wei was tied up and taken to a dilapidated house.
As soon as he entered the room, he was kicked hard in the back of the knee. He fell to his knees with a thud, raised his head, and struggled to open his swollen eyes, looking around.
He saw a person, their hair disheveled, cowering in a corner. Wasn't that his lover, Ruyi?
His body trembled uncontrollably, like a bamboo sieve.
When Ruyi saw him, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
It's over, it's all over. Before this, she had hoped that Hu Wei wouldn't show up, but now he's been captured.
"You audacious adulterer, how dare you even lay a hand on my concubine!"
"My lord, spare my life! I was confused for a moment. It was all Ruyi's doing. Ruyi seduced me! Please, my lord, see the truth!"
Ruyi, standing beside him, glared at Hu Wei, trembling with anger.
That scoundrel Hu Wei, he's completely ungrateful now, and he's actually pushing all the blame onto her!
"You bastard! You mean my concubine doesn't like me and instead seduces you?" Yang Junyan said angrily, kicking Hu Wei in the face again.
Hu Wei was stunned by the kick again and quickly shut his mouth, not daring to say a word.
After a while, he had a sudden inspiration and came up with an explanation.
"My lord, you see, this matter is not honorable. If it gets out of hand, it will be detrimental to the Yang family. Please have mercy and release me. I promise to leave this place and never appear before you again."
As soon as he finished speaking, the three people in the Yang family fell silent.
It is indeed disgraceful for the concubine of the eldest son of the Yang family to commit adultery. If this matter is publicized, people will certainly gossip about it.
Hu Wei isn't a servant of the Yang family, so they can't just do whatever they want with him.
At this moment, the old lady suddenly realized that she had just smelled a faint, strange fragrance.
He immediately ordered his men, "Search his body!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Wei was stunned, thinking to himself that he was doomed.
The servant searched him and found a yellow oil paper package in his pocket. When he opened it, a strong scent emanated from it – the scent of musk.
The maidservant beside the old lady had sharp eyes: "Old Madam, it's the same musk that was in the eldest young mistress's room before!"
Hu Wei immediately knelt on the ground. With this evidence in hand, his crime of murder was confirmed.
"You conspired with Ruyi to kill my child and wife! This is an outrage against heaven and earth! Guards, take them to the authorities!"
Hu Wei's lips turned pale, and he kowtowed repeatedly, pleading, "My lord, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please give me a chance!"
If he were taken to the authorities, he would be finished.
He had been dreaming of becoming rich and powerful because of his son, but instead, he ended up in prison.
But no matter how much he screamed, the man had already been dragged out.
Then someone else came and dragged Ruyi away.
Ruyi hurriedly knelt on the ground, tugging at Yang Junyan's clothes, tears welling up in her eyes: "I was wrong, Junlang, I was wrong. I have served you for many years, and even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. Please let me go."
Yang Junyan kicked Ruyi in the face, and Ruyi fell backward to the ground. When she got up, she was covering her face, and her eyes were already bruised.
For the first time, Yang Junyan felt that kicking someone in the face was quite satisfying.
"You shameless woman, you cheated on me! I deserve to be torn to pieces!"
Ruyi was dragged away amidst howling and screaming.
The Yang family and the government had made arrangements to only investigate the matter of the musk causing death, and to keep the affair a secret.
We must still give face to the Yang family.
Both were severely punished, flogged, and essentially crippled. They were later exiled to the frontier.
Those exiled to the frontier generally do not live past ten years.
As for Qian'er, the maid who accompanied the bride, she was bound to the manor. After being beaten, she was sent back and left with a limp. Because the manor had promised to spare her life, the Yang family sent her to do heavy labor on a farm in the countryside.
Sang Xuan was overjoyed to hear the news.
That bitch has been trampling on her head for so many years, and she's finally gotten her revenge.
