Chapter 40 The show begins

Gu Ping was indeed feeling somewhat uneasy.

Judging from the way this girl is dressed, she doesn't seem to come from a wealthy or powerful family.

Normally, she should be scared when she heard that he was going to report to the police, so why did she look so calm?

What she just said means that she also wants to report to the police?
Could it be that this girl knows something?
Seeing him pursing his lips and not speaking, Xie Lan asked coldly, "Why, Master Gu, are you feeling guilty?"

Gu Ping's heart skipped a beat. Seeing Old Madam Wen looking at him suspiciously, he swore, "Mother-in-law, I don't know why this girl wants to slander my Yongding Marquis's Mansion.

Ze'er is the child of Yajing and I. You also know that there is only Yajing in my heart, and it has never changed over the years.

Even though Yajing is crazy now, my love for her has never changed."

This is true. Wen had been crazy for five years, but Gu Ping never left her. He neither divorced her nor took a concubine or a maid.

His side was still clean and there had never been any other woman around him.

He is so affectionate and loyal, who wouldn't praise his infatuation with the Wen family?

When Old Madam Wen thought about this, she felt more and more guilty.

It was indeed rare for her son-in-law to be able to do this, and she really shouldn't make random guesses just because of what outsiders said.

Her daughter was unlucky. She was fine, but she accidentally hit her head when giving birth to a child, and the child became crazy.

Madam Wen sighed, but Xie Lan asked unexpectedly, "Is that so? Since Master Gu's feelings for Madam Wen have never changed, then what's the matter with the woman in the Master's carriage?"

Gu Ping's face changed. His carriage was parked outside, and there were so many people blocking the way. How did this girl know that there was someone in his carriage?
As soon as the thought came to his mind, he saw Old Madam Wen looking at him suspiciously again, and Gu Ping suddenly realized that something was wrong with his expression.

Just as she was about to speak, Madam Wen winked at Nanny Zhu.

Nanny Zhu immediately squeezed out of the crowd.

Gu Ping looked anxious, but he couldn't tell the people in the carriage to leave.

The carriage was not far away and had the emblem of the Yongding Marquis's Mansion on it. Nanny Zhu found it quickly and brought the people in the carriage over.

Madam Wen recognized at a glance that the person brought by Nanny Zhu was a first-class maid who followed her daughter to the Yongding Marquis's mansion. "Cui Liu, why are you in the carriage of the son-in-law?"

Cui Liu panicked when she saw Old Madam Wen, but she calmed down when she saw Gu Ping.

"I was going to Su He Ji to buy some lotus cakes for the Crown Prince's wife, and I happened to meet the Crown Prince going out. The Crown Prince was kind enough to give me a ride."

Old Madam Wen didn't say anything, but stared intently at Cui Liu's clothes and jewelry.

Nanny Zhu quickly noticed something was wrong, "Cui Liu, why are you wearing the clothes and jewelry of the Crown Prince's wife?"

Cui Liu's smile froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal, "This is a reward from the Madam."

Old Madam Wen found the scene before her very jarring. Her daughter was dishevelled and looked crazy.

Her maid, however, wore her clothes and jewelry, dressed up beautifully, and went out in a carriage with her husband.

The old lady knew that there must be something fishy going on, but her heart was so broken that she couldn't think of any way to refute Cui Liu's words.

Xie Lan, who was standing by, suddenly sneered, "Master Gu, didn't you say that your princess consort is crazy? If she is crazy, how could she know to give clothes and jewelry to the maids?"

The crowd watching nearby also saw what was going on and started talking among themselves.

Although Cui Liu didn't know what exactly had happened, she could see that Xie Lan was targeting her.

"This young lady doesn't know that my wife is not always crazy. These clothes were given to me by the Madam when she was not sick."

Xie Lan looked at her with a half-smile, "Then what about the baby in your belly?"

Cui Liu was panicked, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Madam Wen's eyes went dark, and Nanny Zhu's face also changed, "Cui Liu, you are pregnant, whose child is it?"

Cui Liu's eyes were panicked. "I didn't do that. I am still innocent..."

Xie Lan suddenly interrupted her, "Mammy, look at her arm." Mammy Zhu was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.

Cui Liu wanted to dodge, but Nanny Zhu grabbed her arm and forced her sleeves to be rolled up.

When Old Lady Wen saw that Cui Liu's arm was already devoid of the chastity seal, her expression became even gloomier. "Whose child is this in your belly?"

Cui Liu bit her lower lip, and was about to cry, but she didn't say anything.

Xie Lan said slowly, "Is there any need to ask? The child is of course Master Gu's."

Although she had guessed it, Madam Wen was still so angry that her chest hurt.

At this point, Gu Ping knew that he could not avoid the matter, and could only say with a painful face, "Mother-in-law, my son-in-law's feelings for Yajing have not changed, this incident was just an accident.

Seeing Jingya become like this, the son-in-law was upset and got drunk, so he mistook Cuiliu for Jingya. "

Cui Liu lowered her eyes and tugged at the handkerchief in her hand. Although she was annoyed, she thought that it was good that the matter was discovered, and she would not have to hide it anymore.

When we get back home, I'll let the prince make her his concubine.

Cui Liu was making her wishful thinking here, and Gu Ping was still swearing to Old Madam Wen, saying that he had just made a mistake.

Xie Lan suddenly sneered again, "Gu Shizi, you still have a child who will be born in five months. How can you say this?"

Gu Ping wanted to eat the girl in front of him.

Madam Wen looked at his expression and her heart sank again.

Thinking of her daughter's other maidservant, she gritted her teeth and said, "Did you take Qiuli in as well?"

Gu Ping subconsciously wanted to deny it, but then he heard Xie Lan slowly say, "Master Gu, you have to think about it before you speak. This kind of thing cannot be concealed. The doctor will know it once he feels your pulse."

Gu Ping wanted to kill someone, but when he thought of his father-in-law, he could not care about anything else.

He was just a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel and originally did not like Wen. The reason he married her was because she was the eldest daughter of the Minister of Personnel and he wanted his father-in-law to promote him.

Gu Ping knelt down in front of Madam Wen and said, "Mother-in-law, I was wrong. I don't want to employ Yajing's maid.

But... I am also very painful seeing Yajing like this now.

The son-in-law is a normal person with normal needs, so he took in the maid out of necessity.

Although the son-in-law took in the maid, his feelings towards Yajing did not change.

Don't worry, once the maid has given birth to the child, I can dismiss both maids and leave only the child."

It turns out that Gu Ping's affection was all fake, and some people couldn't help but spit on him.

It can be seen that even though he knelt down, some people could not help but sympathize with him.

After all, every man has three wives and four concubines. Master Gu’s wife has gone crazy. He just took in two maids, which is not a big deal at all.

Old Madam Wen was taking care of her daughter and didn't know what to do.

Seeing that Xie Lan was about to speak again.

Gu Ping's face was gloomy. He knelt down in public without caring about his dignity. He would never let this person who came out of nowhere ruin his good deeds.

"Mother-in-law, I am wrong about this matter. Take Yajing back home first. After we go back, I will punish you as you like."

Xie Lan smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry, my Lord? The real show hasn't even begun yet."

Gu Ping's face suddenly changed.

Xie Lan stopped looking at him and motioned Tiechui to take the hairpin off Wen's head.

Old Madam Wen was suspicious, but when she saw the talisman paper sticking out of the broken hairpin, her face changed.
