Cheng Huahan's face was full of regret and he continued: "The next day, his wife ordered someone to beat the maid to death with a stick!"
"Why? What's the reason?" Jimo Qiao asked in surprise.
"The reason?" Cheng Huahan smiled hoarsely and said, "It is said that the maid pulled out the blood when she dug out his wife's ears. His wife immediately got angry and accused the maid of trying to murder the mistress, and then she was beaten to death on the spot.
....."
"Ah?" Jimo Qiao shouted, "Isn't this a disregard for human life?"
Cheng Huahan said helplessly: "So what? Lao Le's wife is the niece of Huaidu Governor Yin. A lowly maid offended her mistress and beat her to death. Who among outsiders will ask? Who can ask?"
Jimo Qiao said angrily: "This woman went too far. Wasn't she just careless when serving her? She beat him to death like this!"
Chai Yan then said: "I'm talking about Jimo Qiao, do you really not understand why the maid was beaten to death? It was because his wife did not agree with Lao Le taking a concubine!"
Jimo Qiao said: "If you don't agree, just agree! She can refuse directly or drive the maid away. Why should she kill a human life?"
Chai Yan's lips twitched: "That's why I say she is a fierce wife!"
Cheng Huahan nodded and said: "Yes! After that time, Lao Le never mentioned the matter of concubinage again. If he hadn't tolerated it all these years, how could he have a son like Xiao Ming..."
Jimo Qiao said disdainfully: "This Taishu Le, who usually shows off his power all day long, turns out to be a coward at home!"
Cheng Huahan said: "There is nothing we can do. Lao Le's own family has limited strength. If it weren't for the great backer of Huaidu Prefecture, I might not even be able to enter the Wude Division..."
Only then did Chai Yan understand the key factor why Taishu Le was afraid of his wife.
"Useless Lao Le, you deserve it!" Jimo Qiao looked down on this kind of man who relied on his wife to get promoted.
While he was talking, the carriage had already arrived outside the gate of Taishu's Mansion.
Jimo Qiao was the first to get out of the car, and when he got up, he was met with a powerful knock on the door.
"Who is it? Knocking on the door like this, do you understand the rules..." The person inside came to open the door and complained dissatisfiedly.
As soon as the door was opened a crack, Jimo Qiao pushed hard, and the door panel hit the nose of the person who opened the door with a clang.
"Ouch!" The servant who opened the door stumbled backwards, closed his eyes and covered the bridge of his nose, grinning.
Jimo Qiao once again stretched out his hand to push open the door and walked inside aggressively.
In addition, a servant saw Jimo Qiao rushing in. He immediately stepped forward and opened his arms to stop him. He said with a fierce look on his face: "Stop! Who are you?"
Jimo Qiao held her head high and said loudly, still drunk, "Jimo Qiao is here, who dares to stop me!"
As soon as the servants heard that it was Miss Jimo, they immediately became mute. Their fierce expressions disappeared without a trace. They said with a smile: "It turns out to be Miss Jimo. Are you... are you okay?"
Jimo Qiao asked loudly: "Where is the person?"
"Who? Who?" The servant actually understood who Jimo Qiao was asking, but he still pretended to be dumbfounded: "Miss Jimo, what are you talking about? I can't understand..."
When Jimo Qiao saw this, he didn't ask any questions, stepped forward, pushed the servant aside, and walked straight into the inner courtyard.
The servants and maids were all watching, but no one dared to step forward to stop him. Even the master did not dare to offend Miss Jimo, so how could they dare to step forward?
A servant saw Cheng Huahan at this time and stepped forward to ask for help: "Master Cheng, you came just in time. Please find a way to stop Miss Jimo quickly..."
Cheng Huahan sneered and said, "That's Miss Jimo. Do you think it's possible for me to stop her?"
"Then... what should we do?" the servant asked anxiously.
Chai Yan acted upon the opportunity and hurriedly answered: "Mr. Cheng, we can't stop Miss Jimo, but we still have to follow her and keep an eye on her, lest she gets impulsive and the consequences can be..."
Cheng Huahan immediately understood and nodded: "Yes, yes, you are right, we have to keep an eye on it, but we can't cause a big trouble!"
After that, Cheng Huahan waved and took Chai Yan away in the direction where Jimo Qiao disappeared.
The servant couldn't think of any other way, so he immediately asked someone to close the door and trotted after him.
At this time, there was already a commotion in the inner courtyard. Two high-pitched voices, a man and a woman, were having a conversation. To be precise, they should be arguing!
"Where did you hide my son? Give him back to me!"
The person who asked the question was none other than Tai Shule. He had just returned home and was working hard with Chai Yan and his party.
The seemingly weak woman in front of Tai Shu Le was the niece of Huaidu Governor, the biological mother of Tai Shu Le's two daughters, and his first wife, Chen Xuan.
"Son?" Chen Xuan sneered: "Ha, Tai Shule, are you confused? You only have two daughters. When did you have a son?"
What Tai Shule cared about the most was Tai Shuming's son. At this time, Chen Xuan took away and hid his son, which had already touched his inverse scale.
Tai Shule came back and searched a lot but couldn't find his son. He was already furious. Now when he heard Chen Xuan say such sarcastic words, he immediately roared: "Chen Xuan, don't blame me if you don't return my son to me today."
Don’t separate the love between husband and wife!”
Chen Xuan showed no fear, but sarcastically said: "Hey! Taishu Le, you have a good temper now..."
Then, Chen Xuan's expression changed and she became weak and aggrieved: "Tai Shu Le, you and I have been married for so many years, how can I not understand how you want to have a son? Alas, it's my fault for not living up to expectations.
I gave you two daughters, but I didn’t expect... I didn’t expect that you would become ill after thinking about it for a long time, and you would actually dream up an imaginary son..."
"Chen Xuan! I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Where did you hide my son?" Tai Shule really wanted to slap him.
Chen Xuan said regretfully: "Husband, it's time for you to go see the doctor. It's not good to go on like this..."
"Lao Le, where is Xiao Ming?"
At this moment, Jimo Qiao rushed into the inner courtyard alone and asked about Tai Shuming's whereabouts.
Tai Shule shook his head: "No, I've searched everywhere. I don't know where she hid Xiao Ming!"
When Chen Xuan saw Jimo Qiao appearing, her first reaction was a little surprised, but then she became even more annoyed.
Chen Xuan thought about your great uncle, everyone knows that you have an illegitimate child, but I am the only one who is kept in the dark!
"Hey, it's Miss Jimo, what brought you here?" Chen Xuan said with a smile, but this smile was so disgusting in Jimo Qiao's eyes.
Jimo Qiao was still reasonable, so he suppressed his anger and said, "Mrs. Taishu, the child is innocent. Don't vent your anger on him!"
Chen Xuan felt harsh after hearing these words, and immediately changed her tone and said: "Miss Jimo, you came to my house so late, does Mr. Jimo know?"
