Favoring the concubine and ignoring the wife? The mistress is reborn and marries the villain in the

Chapter 65: Getting Beaten and Having to Pay Money

Faced with Gu Nianping's questioning, both Lord Shen and Shen Ling were speechless.

The father and son looked at each other and understood one thing: they were bound to be beaten today, and the most urgent task was to appease the Gu family.

Lord Shen is the elder, and Gu Nianping would never hit him, so naturally Shen Ling had to take the beating.

Shen Ling fell to his knees with a thud: "Big brother is wrong in every way, it's all Shen Ling's fault. As long as Big brother can calm down today, you can beat Shen Ling to death, Shen Ling is willing!"

This sentence is about equality. If you are going to be beaten, then just take it obediently.

Lord Shen also asked the servants of the Shen Mansion to withdraw: "All of you withdraw! Even if the prince is beaten to death by Master Gu, you must not take action!"

He was certain that Gu Nianping would not beat Shen Ling to death in front of him, after all, he was the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion.

As long as Gu Nianping vents his anger today, the Gu family will not be able to take any other actions.

Although Marquis Shen had not yet gone out, he could imagine what people outside were saying about their mansion. This move by the mansion was a loss of both the wife and the army, and it ended up losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken.

At this time, we must not let the General’s Mansion confront them.

Many families in Kyoto City act according to the wishes of the General's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion. As long as their family falls out with General Gu's Mansion, some people will target them.

The current Marquis' Mansion will never let Gu Nianchu, the money bag, get away.

"My Lord and Young Master, you guys begged me to fight you!"

Gu Nianping's eyes flashed with anger. "Come here! Beat him up, and leave him with a breath!"

Shen Ling just felt pain all over his body.

Lord Shen couldn't bear to see his beloved son being beaten, so he covered his face with his wide sleeves.

The sturdy girls from Haitang Garden stepped forward and said, "Master, let us do it!"

Although Gu Nianping looked unfamiliar to them, he could see that the people who had helped him beat up the Shen family just now showed no mercy, and it could be seen that their skills were also very good. After thinking about it, he asked the people he remembered to retreat.

The sturdy girls came forward and surrounded Shen Ling. Shen Ling let out a shrill scream, and the monkey god couldn't help but want to plead for mercy several times.

But he didn't dare. The people who beat Shen Ling were girls. He was afraid that if he begged for mercy, Gu Nianping would get angry and ask the people he brought to do it.

When Mrs. Shen received the news and rushed over, she heard her son's screams from a distance.

I was so heartbroken that I almost fainted.

"My Lord, how could you watch your son being beaten? Why didn't you stop them?"

Old Madam Shen rushed over and pushed Lord Shen.

"Ms. Li, didn't I ask you to reflect on yourself in Fushou Hall? What are you doing here? Go back quickly!" Seeing Old Madam Shen coming, Lord Shen's face darkened. This woman is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. Isn't she going to harm her son by coming here at this time?
"My Lord, if I hadn't come, would you have just watched them beat their son to death? We only have this one son, what on earth do you want to do?"

Old Madam Shen cried with tears and snot: "You don't care about your son, so why don't you let me take care of him? I won't let them bully my son even if I have to sacrifice my life today!"

Madam Shen said as she rushed over and opened her arms to protect Shen Ling: "If you want to hit my son, then kill me first!"

Gu Nianping didn't say anything, and the several sturdy maids didn't stop. The yard could be heard with Madam Shen's pig-slaughtering screams.

Old Lord Shen licked his old face and pleaded: "Nephew Gu, Shen Ling has been taught a lesson. Do you think this matter should be let go?"

"I am an old woman in my family and I am sorry to make you laugh, nephew Gu."

Gu Nianping looked at the sturdy girls, and when they had almost finished beating them, he spoke up, "Since the Marquis has said enough, then that's enough. Let's sit down and talk."

Lord Shen Hou hurriedly invited Gu Nianping into the main hall and served him tea: "Nephew Gu, please come to the main hall and serve tea!"

Then he ordered his servants to send Madam Shen back to Fushou Hall and send Shen Ling back to Lingyun Pavilion to recuperate.

He saw clearly just now that although the two men were howling loudly, they had no external injuries on their bodies, and it seemed that their injuries were not serious.

The girls who beat him up were not the ones who knew martial arts, so he finally felt relieved.

Lord Shen accompanied Xiao Xin and asked Gu Nianping to forgive Shen Ling: "Nephew Gu, my father and I really didn't know about this incident. It was all done by that old woman behind the scenes, and we were kept in the dark."

"This matter is all our fault. Please forgive us for Nianchu's sake, nephew Gu."

This is an attempt to put all the blame on Madam Shen. The General's Mansion cannot bother with an ignorant old woman.

Hearing Lord Shen still have the nerve to say that for Gu Nianchu's sake, Gu Nianping couldn't help but snort coldly: "How dare Lord Shen say such a thing? My sister is the victim, and you schemed against her behind her back, and in the end you even step on her face to gain sympathy?"

Lord Shen said with a shameless face: "My dear nephew, you have beaten me and scolded me, and this matter is over. Do you think it is okay?"

Gu Nianping's face was as cold as frost. "Just let it go like this, the auditor is really calculating. The reputation of our General's Mansion has been repeatedly rubbed on the ground by your Marquis Mansion. Now that I'm here, you actually told me to just let it go like this. I tell you it won't go!"

Lord Shen's heart dropped again: "Nephew, what do you say we should do?"

Gu Nianping hesitated for a moment before speaking, "It's not important what I say. What's important is what you want to do. If your approach doesn't satisfy me, I'll submit a petition to the emperor tomorrow to ask for his decision! It was because the emperor was optimistic about the mansion that he granted my sister a marriage. Now that we've fallen into this mess, the emperor has to give our family an explanation!"

Lord Shen was trembling with fear. If Gu Nianping really dared to submit such a memorial, the Emperor would definitely chop down their mansion!
What should the Shen family do to satisfy the country?
Lord Shen gritted his teeth and said, "This matter is indeed the fault of our mansion. To show our sincerity, the mansion will transfer 10 shops to Nianchu's name and offer taels of silver as an apology."

When saying this, Lord Shen's heart was bleeding. The Marquis's estate didn't have much property to begin with, and now in order to appease the general, he was willing to give it all.

However, he thought that it would be better to hand the apology to Gu Nianchu than to send it to the General's Mansion. Gu Nianchu is now the daughter-in-law of the Marquis' Mansion. Even if he is dissatisfied with the Marquis' Mansion, as long as the thing is in her hands, it will still be in the hands of the Shen family.

We can always find a way to get it back when the time comes.
