Fu Jun suddenly turned around, only to see that as Mrs. Fu’s words fell, two Protectors outside the door were escorting a middle-aged man inside. As soon as he t Fu Jun’s gaze, he imdiately lowered his head!
Mrs. Fu said, "Make him lift his head! Let Mr. Fu and Aunt Liu see him, and recognize if they know him?"
The man was slightly taller, with bushy eyebrows and big eyes, but his whole deanor was lecherous, making onlookers frown.
Upon hearing "Mrs. Liu," he glanced towards Mrs. Liu on the ground, then instinctively lowered his head again.
Mrs. Fu said, "An old acquaintance from Jiangling ten years ago, ca to the capital four years ago to do business, and rekindled the old fla in the southern city. Surely, you recognize him? It’s been a long relationship. Now that you’re eting today, why not have a good talk?"
The man slipped and imdiately knelt on the ground!
Fu Jun rushed forward, grabbed his collar, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "So it was you!"
He then slapped him hard and turned towards Mrs. Liu, slumped on the ground, "You actually have ties with him?! You vile woman!"
Mrs. Liu cried out in agony, falling to the ground, "I’ve only t him a few tis, nothing like what you think!"
"Nothing like what I think? Then why did you receive his things? Why would you et him secretly behind my back?!"
Mrs. Liu couldn’t answer, covering her face and looking at him. Suddenly she started to sob, reaching out to tug at his garnt, "My lord! We’ve had feelings for more than ten years. Do you still not believe ? I have always been wholeheartedly devoted to only you, why do you believe the Ning Family but not ?"
"Of course, because I have evidence." Mrs. Fu tossed out a few pages of paper, "This is the confession he just made and he signed it. Would you like to confront him on the spot? If you are wronged, we’ll go to the governnt office and sue him to clear your na, how about that?"
Mrs. Liu grabbed the confession on the ground, attempting to tear it up, but was pushed away by Fu Jun who snatched it back. Glaring with rage, he abruptly turned to the man, "Did you write this, and sign it?!"
The man repeatedly bowed his head, "Brother Fu, spare , Brother Fu, spare ! In view of the many years we know each other, please let go this ti! I will never dare again!"
Fu Jun, enraged, kicked him in the chest, "You have the nerve to ntion knowing each other for many years when that’s what’s led you to steal from ! Guards, beat these adulterers to death for !"
His voice almost shook the roof, yet inside and outside the house, no one responded.
Only then did he realize that everyone here only listened to Mrs. Fu!
But that was not the most important thing at the mont. The most important thing was how he could bear such betrayal. Mrs. Liu said she’d been with him for ten years, hadn’t he also favored Mrs. Liu exclusively for ten years?
For this vile woman, he’d abandoned his original wife, neglected his legitimate children, and yet, she hadn’t changed her flirtatious nature but instead colluded with his forr rice shop business partner from Jiangling!
That was sothing from more than ten years ago!
And they were separated by distance in between!
Yet, they still kept in touch to this day!
"What kind of relationship makes it so hard for you to forget him? Could it be that Rou and the others are not my children at all?!"
Fu Jun clutched Mrs. Liu’s shoulders, shouting into her ear with a voice that nearly tore his throat.
"No! It’s absolutely not like that!" If Mrs. Liu had any intention of thinking of excuses earlier, upon hearing these words, she beca completely flustered!
She gripped Fu Jun’s arm with trembling fingers, "They are all your children! It is impossible for them to be anyone else’s! Don’t listen to her provocations! They truly are yours!..."
"You’re still trying to argue!" Fu Jun slapped her hard, hitting her until she bled from her nose and mouth, "Do you dare say his words are false? Dare you co with to the court to accuse him?"
Mrs. Liu’s tears flowed continuously.
Fu Jun straightened up, staggered to the middle of the room, and shouted towards the outside: "Are any of my people outside? If there are, co in!"
The porch was silent, until a while later, the steward Zheng Fu timidly entered, "Master, I am here!"
Fu Jun pointed outside, "Take those bastards Mrs. Liu bore, and drag them out for ! And this vile woman—" he pointed to Mrs. Liu and the man, "break their legs and drag them out too!"
"Master!"
Mrs. Liu wailed as she crawled to his feet, "Master! Master, they really are your children!"
"Do you think I will believe that?"
Fu Jun kicked her away, then turned towards the dumbfounded Zheng Fu at the side, "Why are you standing there? Hurry up!"
Zheng Fu promptly complied, summoning a few people from beside the porch. One group went to drag Mrs. Liu’s three children, another group ca in and carried Mrs. Liu on their shoulders.
Mrs. Liu struggled desperately, yelling, "They really are your children! I dare not lie, my lord!
"You’ve said countless tis that the children I bore are your true children! Without them, who will honor you in the future?!..."
She was no match for the two strong won, and soon was dragged out of the threshold.
The anguished cries echoed from afar.
Besides Mrs. Liu’s, there were her three children, including Fu Rou who had just received dical care for her broken limbs.
It wasn’t until these cries gradually faded into the night that Fu Jun turned away from the door, looking at Mrs. Fu who was calmly observing everything from above.
She was his wife, whom he married with proper ceremonies, countless nights spent close together, yet at this mont, Fu Jun felt a million miles away from her.
He gritted his teeth, "I’ve already dealt with Mrs. Liu. Shouldn’t you be able to calm down now?"
"Who told you this ans she’s dealt with?" Mrs. Fu’s face turned cold, "She is the mastermind behind today’s kidnapping case! She is audacious enough to dare lay hands on an imperial decree, how many guts do you have, Fu Jun? Do you dare to let her go? Do you intend for the entire Fu Family to suffer along with you?!"
Fu Jun was stunned, yet before he could respond, Mrs. Fu imdiately ordered, "Go check if Mrs. Liu’s legs are broken as per the master’s orders. If they are, drag her back for ! First, tie her in the woodshed, and tomorrow we’ll deliver her to the Du Mansion to apologize!
"If the Du Family forgives her, then I’ll let her go. If not, after they are done with her, I’ll turn her over to the master. Should the Du Family want her life, I won’t utter a word of disagreent!
"If you wish to be dragged into this mire by her, that’s your business! Don’t dream of dragging and the children along with you!
"Not only Mrs. Liu but also her—"
Mrs. Fu pointed downwards at Old Madam Fu, "She is also one of the conspirators, and she has to go as well!"
"What?!"
Trembling with fear due to the events, Old Madam Fu jumped up, "You even want to pin a cri on ?!"
