Chapter 192 Revenge
Chapter 192 Revenge
Seeing the Marquis of Xiangyang's son coming, Wen's eyes filled with tears, "Brother, why are you here?"
Wen Dongqiao patted Wen's arm comfortingly, "I heard that Xiaobao was brought to the Gu Mansion. You and mother are here, and I am worried, so I came to check on you."
When Gu Ping saw his former uncle, the Prince of Xiangyang, his heart began to pound.
He was not afraid of Wen and the old lady of Xiangyang Marquis, but he felt scared every time he saw his uncle and former father-in-law, the Minister of Personnel.
“What is a misfortune-reversing card? This prince has never heard of it, let alone bought one.
Miss Xie, did I kill your parents or do I owe you millions of taels? Why do you want to slander me like this?"
Gu Ping was originally somewhat distracted by Xie Lan's beauty, but now he no longer had any feelings for her and only hated himself for not being able to kill her.
Xie Lan ignored his hatred and said in a cold tone, "You don't owe me any money and you haven't let my parents down. I just had nothing to do and came here to see you having fun.
As for the slander you mentioned," Xie Lan glanced at Gu Ping coldly.
He turned his head and said to Wen Dongqiao, "Master Xiangyang, the card that Gu Ping used to murder your sister is hidden in his study, on the right side of the third row from the top of the bookshelf.
If you pull away the book on top, you can see the secret compartment on the wall where the three cards of misfortune are hidden."
Gu Ping's eyes went dark. He didn't know how Xie Lan knew that he had bought the cards from a monk, and he didn't know why she knew that he had hidden the cards in the secret compartment of the study.
He wanted to deny it, but the Prince of Xiangyang didn't want to listen and directly asked the guards who followed him to go to Gu Ping's study and search for the card of misfortune.
After seeing the birth data on the misfortune-turning card, Wen Dongqiao was so angry that he kicked Gu Ping in the heart.
Gu Ping was curled up on the ground groaning in pain. When the Yongding Earl and his wife learned that their son had been beaten, they hurried over.
"Son, you've grown up so big, and your father and I have never been willing to touch you, but now you've been beaten half to death.
Madam Wen, I only have this one son, you are trying to kill me. "
The wife of the Earl of Yongding rushed over, hugged Gu Ping, and cried and scolded him.
Yongding Bo also said with a dark face,
"Mother-in-law, after all, my son is your son-in-law and Xiaobao's father. You and your sons are killing him like this. Are you taking advantage of the fact that there is no one in my uncle's house?"
Old Madam Wen was almost furious at the shamelessness of the Earl of Yongding and his wife.
Not only did Gu Ping harm her daughter, but now he even wants to steal the fortunes of her husband and son.
In the end, he was still blamed by the Yongding Earl and his wife.
Old Madam Wen was so angry that she started cursing without caring about her image.
"Who are your relatives? My daughter has already divorced, so please don't try to make random connections with your Yongding Marquis.
Considering the evil things your son has done, beating him is not a light punishment.
I was really blind to marry my daughter to your son."
Seeing her own mother already old, and still being scolded because of her own affairs, Wen felt heartbroken and regretted so much that she was so blind as to fall in love with that beast Gu Ping.
Seeing that the more the Yongding Earl and his wife cursed, the colder Wen's eyes became, Gu Ping hurriedly winked at his parents.
Just as he was thinking of another way to use a cruel trick on Wen, he saw the gatekeeper running towards him with a panicked look on his face.
"Madam, it's bad, it's bad, someone from the Ministry of Justice is here."
Gu Ping's pupils shrank and he turned around to see Xiao Jin, dressed in official uniform, walking slowly towards him.
Seeing such a killer, Gu Ping was furious and yelled at the servant, "What's going on? Why did Lord Xiao come to the Gu Mansion? Who reported it to the authorities?"
The servant was so frightened that his legs were shaking. He trembled and said, "I don't know who reported this to the police." The Marquis of Xiangyang stared at Gu Ping with cold eyes and said in a cold voice, "I reported this to the police. What? Do you have any objection?"
Gu Ping was more than dissatisfied, he was almost so angry that he vomited blood. However, facing the son of Marquis Xiangyang, he did not dare to show any resentment.
"Uncle, it's just a misunderstanding, why do you have to alert the Ministry of Justice?
Isn't this just a misunderstanding that my Yongding Marquis's Mansion has committed some serious crime? "
Ever since he learned that Gu Ping favored his concubine over his relatives and allowed everyone in the mansion to abuse Wen, the Prince of Xiangyang had extremely disliked this former brother-in-law.
Now that they knew he was trying to steal their fortune, they wanted to kill him even more.
"Master Gu, please be careful with your words. My sister has already divorced you, and our Xiangyang Marquis Mansion has nothing to do with your Gu Mansion anymore.
I, Wen Dongqiao, am not lucky enough to have a brother-in-law as ruthless as you. From now on, please address me as the Marquis of Xiangyang."
Gu Ping's face turned pale and blue, he felt embarrassed and angry.
But the Marquis of Xiangyang didn't even look at him. He just bowed to Xiao Jin and said, "Sir Xiao, I want to sue the Marquis of Dingyuan for kidnapping children and intending to do something inappropriate to my sister..."
"I didn't kidnap my son. This is a misunderstanding." Gu Ping's face turned pale. He never expected that the son of Xiangyang Marquis would sue him for kidnapping a child.
"Master Xiao, Xiaobao is my son. I didn't kidnap him! I just missed him so much that I wanted to see him.
And my parents, they missed their grandson so much that they lost their appetite and couldn’t sleep at night. I couldn’t bear to see them crying every day, so I secretly brought Xiaobao back.”
"Yes, yes, yes. Xiaobao is the eldest grandson of our Yongding Marquis's Mansion. We love him so much that we can't wait to sell him off. This is all a misunderstanding."
"Oh, your uncle's family loves their eldest grandson so much that they lock him up with iron chains and don't even give him food or water? This really opens my eyes!"
Xie Lan's sarcasm was almost stabbed into a hornet's nest by the glares of the Yongding Earl and his wife.
Gu Ping wanted to explain, but Xie Lan was too lazy to listen. He took Wen Shi and the others to find the imprisoned Xiao Bao.
Seeing her son with his mouth gagged and chained, Wen burst into tears.
The son of Xiangyang Marquis had a gloomy face. He turned around, grabbed Gu Ping by the collar and beat him half to death.
"Master Xiao, Gu Ping kidnapped my nephew with the intention of selling him, otherwise how could he abuse him so much."
"Come here, Prince Gu is suspected of child trafficking, take him to the Ministry of Justice to await trial."
Seeing his son's miserable condition, Gu Ping was shocked and angry. He brought Xiaobao back yesterday, and Qin Wanyue kindly offered to help take care of him. He praised her for her tolerance and generosity, and never thought that she would abuse Xiaobao like this.
Hearing that Xiao Jin wanted to arrest him, Gu Ping blurted out, "It wasn't me. I didn't abuse Xiaobao. It was Qin Wanyue. She was jealous of the Wen family, so she abused Xiaobao."
"Yes, this matter has nothing to do with my son. It was that bitch Qin Wanyue who wanted to kidnap Xiaobao. My son didn't know about this at all.
Don’t arrest my son, arrest that bitch Qin Wanyue instead.”
Qin Wanyue was so angry that she thought she was a great contributor to the Gu family because she gave birth to a son.
He was also complacent about driving away the Wen family.
Who would have thought retribution would come so quickly.
Since the Gu family is unkind, don't blame her for being unjust.
"Sir Xiao, this matter has nothing to do with me. It is the Yongding Earl and his wife who are angry that the Xiangyang Marquis forced Wen Shi to divorce Gu Ping, and also made it difficult for Gu Ping to make a living in the Ministry of Personnel.
In order to avenge the Wen family, the three of them teamed up to kidnap and sell Xiaobao, and also wanted to seize the fortune of the Xiangyang Marquisate..."
"How dare you, a lowly concubine, slander my son? It's obvious that you did all these things."
Seeing that the people in the Gu Mansion were so angry that they were fighting each other, and were finally captured by Xiao Jin and taken to the Ministry of Justice to avenge the horse frightened at the Nine-Arch Bridge, Xie Lan finally returned home with satisfaction.
