Chapter 109 Break the Leg and Throw It Away
The man called Tan Lang seemed to be stunned by Mei Niang's cruelty and stood there in a daze for a while.
After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, I forced you." There was endless bitterness in his voice, and his hoarse voice seemed to have been honed by wind and sand, which made people feel tight in their hearts.
Then there were two "bangs," as if someone was bowing. "My Lord, please spare my life. This is my fault. Please spare my life."
His words were filled with fear and pleading. Now that he was discovered, he didn't know if he could get a chance to survive.
Marquis Zhongyong looked at the two of them coldly, anger boiling in his heart.
Regardless of whether this concubine is favored by him or not, she is still a concubine of his mansion after all. How could he be in a good mood when they dared to do such a shameful thing?
At this moment, his face was as dark as ink, and he exuded an aura of overwhelming power, like a volcano about to erupt. "Come here! Break this man's legs and throw him out."
The voice was cold and chilling. The air around them seemed to freeze, and everyone was silent, not daring to make a sound.
Luo Shuiyao couldn't help but shudder when she heard the coldness in his voice. She didn't expect that the loyal and brave marquis who always looked kind could say such cruel words.
But it's also true that Marquis Zhongyong has been fighting on the battlefield for many years and has taken countless lives. How could such a person be a simple character?
Ye Yunzhou lowered his eyes to look at her, only to see that her lips were tightly pursed, but her face showed no fear at all. He couldn't help but secretly praise her in his heart, thinking that the girl he had chosen was indeed very courageous.
On this side, the man called Tan Lang trembled violently when he heard these words, and a look of despair appeared in his eyes.
"Please, Lord, spare me this time. I will..." Before he could finish his plea, something covered his mouth, leaving only a whimpering sound. The man with the covered mouth struggled desperately, his eyes filled with fear and despair. He seemed to want to continue begging for mercy, but only an inarticulate whimper could be uttered.
There was a rustling sound, followed soon by two muffled thuds.
Then, a sharp sob erupted. Even with his mouth covered, one could still sense the pain he was in. It was terrifying. The piercing sob cut through the silence like a knife, making one feel the immense pain the man was enduring.
Luo Shuiyao was so frightened that her whole body shuddered. She subconsciously turned around and wanted to say something to Ye Yunzhou.
Ye Yunzhou noticed her movements and shook his head gently at her, signaling her not to speak.
Luo Shuiyao was slightly startled, then she understood what Ye Yunzhou meant. She pursed her lips, swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth, and turned her attention back to the movement outside.
There were footsteps outside, and the man's painful sobs gradually faded away.
Luo Shuiyao couldn't suppress her strong curiosity and slightly poked out half of her face. Where her eyes swept over, she happened to see the woman called Aunt Mei.
In the dim light, Luo Shuiyao could hardly see her specific appearance, but her figure was extremely graceful.
Mei Niang lowered her head at this moment, and never raised her head to look at the man who was being dragged away. She just knelt there quietly, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking at this moment.
After dealing with the wild man, Marquis Zhongyong slowly turned his gaze to Mei Niang.
"Aunt Mei, do you have anything to say?" The voice of the Loyal and Brave Marquis was intimidating without being angry, and there was a hint of coldness in his words.
Aunt Mei trembled slightly and slowly raised her head.
Her eyes were filled with fear and attachment. She crawled forward a few steps, reached out and grasped the corner of the loyal and brave marquis's clothes, and said with trembling lips: "Marquis, I was forced to do this. I beg you to give me a way out. I promise that I will never do it again."
The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was standing with his back to her. Luo Shuiyao couldn't see his specific expression, but she could see him suddenly raise his foot and fiercely kick Aunt Mei in the chest. Aunt Mei was instantly kicked back several meters, a trace of blood slowly oozing from her mouth. For a moment, she crawled on the ground, unable to stand up.
Seeing this, the loyal and brave marquis showed no mercy and coldly scolded, "Who gave you the courage to touch me, you lowly slave?"
Aunt Mei was crawling on the ground, still not raising her head, but bursts of cold laughter escaped from her throat: "Hahaha, who gave me the courage to touch you?"
She suddenly raised her head, her expression frantic: "My Lord, have you forgotten that I am your concubine? Why can't I touch you?"
The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery glared coldly at her maddened appearance and said, "Tell me, how do you want to die?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Mei braced herself on the ground with both hands, straining to straighten herself up, then staggered to her feet. She knew the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery wouldn't let her go. Since death was inevitable, why not take this opportunity to vent her anger?
She looked at the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery with an embarrassed expression and sneered. "As a husband, you neglect your concubine. Since I became your concubine, over ten years ago, I haven't had a single good day. You treat me coldly, and you allow your wife to be harsh on me. I live worse than the servants in this mansion."
She looked at the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery with a mocking expression, "You're a husband, but you haven't entered your concubine's room for decades. I'm so lonely, so how can I ask a man for comfort? Why can you men have three wives and four concubines, but we women have to stay with you for the rest of our lives?"
"Why can you be a loving father and filial son, and a harmonious couple? What about me? What am I?" She began to shout at the top of her lungs, but there was no grief or resentment in her eyes.
There was only endless hatred and the sense of relief at being able to vent one's anger.
The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery seemed to be stunned by her words and was unable to speak for a long time.
Luo Shuiyao couldn't see his expression, she only saw his hands clenched into fists behind his back.
After a while, he slowly exhaled, his tone carrying a subtle hint of guilt. "Since that's the case, I'll let you go home. How you live in the future is up to you."
Unexpectedly, hearing his words, Aunt Mei's laughter became even louder. "Hahaha, you hypocritical hypocrite! You think you can just let me go? I won't!"
She suddenly took a few steps towards Marquis Zhongyong, a fierce look on her face, and pounced on him.
The loyal and brave marquis had fought against the enemy for many years, and his kick was almost instinctive. Caught off guard, he failed to restrain his strength. With a scream, Mei was kicked to the ground.
Her frail body lay on the ground, blood continuously gushing from her mouth. Her face happened to be facing Luo Shuiyao, who pursed her lips tightly as she watched her slowly close her eyes.
Marquis Zhongyong stared at the scene in a daze. When he came to his senses and quickly stepped forward to check, he saw that she was already dead.
He was silent for a long time, then ordered, "Go and bury her with honor."
"Yes." A servant beside her answered, and then several people came up and carried her body out.
Marquis Zhongyong stood alone for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he sighed softly and left.
