The current mood of Old Master Gu is indescribable.
In the past, he found it a pleasure when beauties pouted coquettishly—because they were as lovely as flowers. But now, facing a pig-headed person, it’s truly hard to swallow.
At the same time, he was very angry. As the saying goes, even when beating a dog, one must consider the owner! The Princess Consort of War Prince beating his woman in public—is she treating him with contempt?
It is said that the War Prince was also present—does that mean all of this was orchestrated by him as a provocation?
"Qianqian, rest well. I will seek justice for you." With these words, Old Master Gu tried to break free from Aunt Yu’s embrace.
"Really? Old Master is going to avenge Qianqian?"
"Yes, be good. Let go quickly; how can I avenge you if you hold onto me?"
"No, Old Master just came; Qianqian missed you. Wait a little before going."
Saying this, Aunt Yu tilted her pig-like face, coquettishly complaining: "Old Master, look, the Princess Consort of War Prince is too vile, having beaten your darling Qianqian to this state—it hurts so much, Old Master."
The more she spoke, the more she tried to sound alluring, but the goods were ruined, and failed to stir his affection.
"It truly is utterly vile. I shall go lodge a complaint to the Emperor and seek revenge for my beloved concubine."
He had taken in dozens of concubines, and only managed to get one that pleases him, yet the Princess Consort of War Prince beat her up.
Old Master Gu felt inexplicable heartache.
However, it’s not for the woman before him.
Rather, he felt sorry his toy was spoiled by others.
Turning Aunt Yu into this ghostly appearance, Old Master Gu had no desire to stay, giving some casual comfort before hurriedly leaving.
Water Cloud Courtyard.
The courtyard was exquisitely arranged, with pavilions and towers everywhere.
Bedroom.
A young maid hurriedly walked in, first respectfully saluting the Eldest madam who was embroidering inside, then beginning to report: "Eldest madam, Old Master just came out from the little fox."
The Eldest madam put down her embroidery, sneered coldly, and said: "That wicked person having such a fate—I foresaw it long ago."
Finally, she spoke wistfully: "Old Master loves beautiful things, but now that the little cheap person is disfigured, will he still cherish her? Dream on; she thought herself an onion, but in truth, she is merely Old Master’s plaything. The heartlessness of Old Master, over these several decades, I have come to see through."
The more the Eldest madam spoke, the more sorrowful she became, unconsciously touching her aging face. In the past, she too was as beautiful as a flower and enjoyed several years of Old Master’s favor.
But even the most beautiful beauties have their day of decline, and now she can only watch as Old Master engages in romance with other women.
And she, not only must she keep a forced smile, but also offer blessings—it is truly laughable when one thinks about it.
For being the Eldest madam, one must have the capacity to accommodate all things, only then is she qualified to occupy this position.
The maid hesitated to speak, but finally gathered courage to say: "But Old Master has entered the palace, probably because of Thirtieth Aunt’s matter."
The Eldest madam shot her a sharp glare, saying: "What do you understand? The Princess Consort of War Prince beat his woman in public; even if Old Master no longer favors that little cheap person, he cannot swallow this insult, otherwise, as the richest man of The Four Kingdoms, he would be ridiculed by everyone."
The young maid immediately bowed her head to admit fault: "Madam’s lesson is correct, servant knows her mistake."
Since Thirtieth Aunt gained favor, it seemed outwardly she respected the Eldest madam a lot. But she was arrogant towards other sisters, implying in her words that as a concubine she was more useful before Old Master than the Eldest madam.
The Eldest madam had long since harbored deep resentment towards Thirtieth Aunt.
