Chapter 550 Burning Down the Mansion of the Loyal Minister
Mu Yiyun changed her clothes and rode in a sedan chair to the residence of the Duke of Zhongyi.
When we got near the residence of the Duke of Zhongyi, we saw flames shooting into the sky.
Mu Yiyun's heart skipped a beat. Oh no! Something's happened!
You ruthless Zhu Youjian! When you needed our enemy, you treated him like a brother. But after you used him, you not only dismissed him from his post, but you even wanted to burn him alive!
Mu Yiyun burst into tears. "Zhu Youjian, listen carefully! If my enemies are harmed by you, no matter the cost, I will make you pay for your crimes in blood!"
"Come with me to rescue them!" Mu Yiyun hurriedly got out of the sedan chair and led her men, rushing towards the Duke of Zhongyi's mansion.
Mu Yiyun's subordinates were all Dorgon's spies in the capital, and they were all elites. In no time, they arrived at the gate of the Duke of Zhongyi's mansion.
Mu Yiyun was completely dumbfounded.
Wang Wenzhou pointed at the people who came to put out the fire and cursed, "Get out! All of you get out! Who told you to come and put out the fire? It's my own house, I set it on fire and have a barbecue, what's it to you?"
The area surrounding the Duke of Zhongyi's residence was filled with the mansions of court officials. Seeing that the Duke of Zhongyi's residence was on fire, although they disliked Wang Wenzhou, they could not stand idly by and watch him die. Besides, if the fire spread and their houses caught fire, they would also suffer the same fate. So they all sent people to help put out the fire.
A steward said, half-laughing and half-crying, "Lord Wang, whatever grudges you have with our master, we are only here to put out the fire today, we have no other intentions."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Many people quickly echoed.
"Mind your own business!" Wang Wenzhou pointed at the figures in the firelight and said, "Are you blind?! Can't you see the chef in my manor is roasting a whole pig? Put out the fire, or I'll eat raw pig! Get out!"
Following Wang Wenzhou's gaze, everyone saw that there were indeed several people roasting pigs on a rack next to the fire.
The crowd exchanged glances, both amused and exasperated. Wang Wenzhou was truly a mad dog. Fine! If you want to burn down your own house, then burn it all you want, we don't care!
In a short while, the people who came to put out the fire left. They didn't go far, though; they set up a firebreak around the Duke of Zhongyi's residence.
Wang Wenzhou laughed and scolded, "Ruru, look at this! You just said they came to put out the fire out of kindness and wouldn't let me scold them. See? They're all just looking out for themselves. They're afraid of getting burned!"
"Sigh..." Liu Rushi sighed. There was really no way to deal with her enemies. How could a normal person burn down their own house? No wonder they called her a mad dog behind her back.
"Husband!" Mu Yiyun called out sweetly, rushed to Wang Wenzhou, and threw herself into his arms.
"Hmph!" Liu Rushi snorted coldly, glaring at Mu Yiyun. You little bitch, you still have the nerve to show your face? If it weren't for you, would I have ended up in this state today?
"My husband, I miss you!" Mu Yiyun said sweetly.
"Who is your husband? Don't you have any manners? Kneel down!" Wang Wenzhou pushed Mu Yiyun away and said coldly.
Mu Yiyun pouted and immediately knelt down on the ground.
Wang Wenzhou cursed and said, "Husband? How dare you call me husband? You have no manners! Admit your mistake right now!"
"You rascal!" Mu Yiyun glanced at Wang Wenzhou with a resentful look and quickly said, "Father, I was wrong, please don't be angry."
"Huh?" Liu Rushi was both amused and exasperated. What was going on? Why was her husband making that little bitch call him "father"? Did this shameless man betroth her to some pretty girl? This wouldn't do! Your woman as your son's wife, that's just chaos!
Liu Rushi walked up to Wang Wenzhou, grabbed his thigh, twisted it, and asked in an annoyed tone, "Wang Wenzhou, what outrageous thing have you done now?"
"Ouch!" Wang Wenzhou winced in pain and quickly begged for mercy, "Ruru, Ruru, please stop! I'm just recovering from a serious illness and can't take this kind of torture!"
Liu Rushi quickly let go and asked irritably, "Tell me, why did you make her call you father? What absurd thing have you done this time? Wang Wenzhou, you're a grown man, can't you be a little more sensible?"
"She married our son..." Wang Wenzhou hadn't finished speaking.
"Slap!" Liu Rushi slapped him across the face.
"Kneel down!" Liu Rushi shouted angrily.
"Thump!" Wang Wenzhou knelt down in response.
Mu Yiyun was furious. "You bastard! Liu Ru and I are both your little bitches, your babies! Why don't you sleep with them? Why do you always yell at them? And Liu Ru is a little bitch; when she gets angry, you're like a mouse before a cat, kneeling down in fear!"
Mu Yiyun thought for a moment, then gently nudged Wang Wenzhou, who was kneeling beside her, and said sarcastically in a low voice, "Father, you are a grown man, so why are you so terrified when Liu Rushi is angry?"
Wang Wenzhou scoffed and retorted, "How could I be scared out of my wits? I'm just in a good mood, playing along with her. If I were in a bad mood, I could beat her until she's crying her eyes out!"
"Father, you're just bragging!" Mu Yiyun was furious. They're both your babies, but the treatment is just too different.
"Wang Wenzhou, I'm asking you! Do you have any shame? Which young actress did you marry her off to? If this gets out, won't people laugh their heads off?" Liu Rushi was truly furious with Wang Wenzhou. She was already against Wang Wenzhou burning down the house, but she could only endure it because he insisted. Now that she learned that Wang Wenzhou was bewitched and trying to take advantage of her daughter-in-law, she could no longer hold back.
"Ruru, are you stupid? How could I marry her off to Xiaohua? I married her off to Ruru!" Wang Wenzhou quickly said.
"Slap!" Liu Rushi slapped him again, angrily shouting as if she were burning down the Duke of Zhongyi's mansion, "Wang Wenzhou, you're still lying to me! When did I become your son?"
"Slap!" Wang Wenzhou quickly slapped himself. "I'm so stupid, how could I have let it slip?"
"Wang Wenzhou, do you remember the oath you made back then?" Liu Rushi didn't know why she was so angry today, and she even started bringing up old grievances.
Liu Rushi said coldly, "You swore to me that you would never lie to me. After your sister Gao Guilan committed suicide, you swore to me again that you would never lie to your wives and concubines. And today you lie to me again!"
"Holy crap!" Wang Wenzhou was both amused and exasperated. Are all women crazy? Why do they act on a whim? Do they even remember things from eight lifetimes ago?
Wang Wenzhou quickly crawled over, hugged Liu Rushi's leg, and said pitifully, "Rushi, promise me you won't be angry, and I'll explain."
"Fine! Tell me quickly!" Liu Rushi said impatiently.
Wang Wenzhou quickly told Liu Rushi the whole story of his two sons, Ruru and Xiaolanlan.
Upon hearing this, Liu Rushi said, both amused and exasperated, "You rascal, just you wait and see how you annoy me!"
Wang Wenzhou said tenderly, "Ruru, Ruru, I didn't want to either, but the thing is, you're so beautiful when you're angry. In the past, King You of Zhou lit the beacon fires to amuse his concubine. Today, I'm willing to take this slap just to make Ruru angry. Who can blame me when my Ruru is so beautiful even when she's angry!"
"You rascal!" Liu Rushi said, both amused and exasperated, "Get up quickly, don't embarrass yourself!"
"Yes, yes!" Wang Wenzhou quickly stood up with a grin.
"Hmph!" Mu Yiyun snorted coldly, and quickly said, "Father, I forgot to tell you some good news."
"Hmm?" Wang Wenzhou asked, "What good news?"
"Hehe!" Mu Yiyun said with a laugh, "I just killed Zhang Fengyi for you!"
"Holy crap!" Wang Wenzhou cursed, "You little vixen, you won't be at ease until you've killed me, will you?"
