I want to make progress

Chapter 45 It begins
As soon as the officials arrived, the excitement was over and everyone quickly dispersed. However, the topic that remained was extremely hot. The guests in the restaurant, as well as the boss and waiters, were all talking about it.

Due to her status, Shu Yunfu couldn't go to gossip in person, but she had money!

So the second brother happily received the reward of two taels of silver and went out happily to gossip with pay.

As it involved a murder case, the onlookers didn't know much. They only knew from the waiter that the lady rushed in to catch the adulterer and happened to catch her husband who was forced to be with his mistress because the back door was blocked.

The husband of that noble lady was really bold. Not only did he keep a mistress, he also treated her as his wife in public and had a pair of children. I heard that the older brother was even older than the legitimate son born to his wife.

When the noble lady rushed in, the man was protecting the mother and her two children. It is said that after the noble lady saw what was happening, she became furious and started beating the concubine. She even stripped the concubine of her clothes and threw her on the street. She even did not spare the children born to the concubines.

I heard that the man was an official, but he was a useless coward with no family background. He relied on the support of his wife's family to get to where he is today, but no one expected that he would be so bold as to cheat on his wife.

Moreover, he had the courage to keep a mistress but not the courage to take responsibility. He watched helplessly as his wife beat up the mistress and their two children without daring to say a word. The mistress and their two children were beaten up so miserably that the people watching around could not bear it.

Not only that, the noble lady did not even let the man go and asked the servant to break his legs. Only then did the man beg for mercy.

The noble lady was so furious. She helped her husband to have children, take care of the harem, and asked her family to help him with his career. She didn't expect to be stabbed in the back. How could she tolerate this? How could she let them off so easily? She was so angry that she was unwilling to let these two dogs go.

The situation reached a climax. The noble lady was determined to kill the children born to her concubine. She beat them with a stick. After a few sticks, the two children were half dead. The concubine went mad when she saw this and rushed towards the noble lady with a hairpin.

No one was prepared. The noble lady grabbed the concubine's hand holding the hairpin and started to resist. The man and others tried to pull them apart, but during the argument, the hairpin somehow pierced the man's chest.

Looking at the man falling down, this time more than one party was screaming.

In short, this is a tragedy caused by catching a couple committing adultery.

"This family is going to become a laughing stock in the whole capital. I heard that the lady is of great importance. She seems to be the daughter of a high-ranking official. I'm afraid this matter will never end."

With the intuition of a bystander, Xiao felt that this matter was not over. "In the past, such things either the wife suffered a loss or the concubine suffered a loss. This is the first time I see a man suffer a loss. It is really strange."

Looking at the small courtyard outside the window that was under martial law by the yamen runners, Shu Yunfu showed a strange smile on her peaceful face, "Yes, there are really all kinds of strange things in this world. If you live long enough, you can see everything."

After sending the waiter away, Shu Yunfu's appetite was whetted, and the food on the table tasted even better.

"Miss, we succeeded!"

There was no one else in the room, and Yuyan could no longer see so many delicious foods. He looked at his young lady excitedly, with tears sparkling in his eyes.

"Ahem... don't get excited. We're just getting started. We're still a long way from success." He smiled at her, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. The choking wine slid down his throat, bringing up sparks along the way and suppressing the fire in his chest. His eyes, which used to be enchanting, were now surprisingly bright.

The fingertips that were holding the wine glass were so tight that they turned white, and there were little tears in her eyes. If you didn't look at her appearance, you would really think that she was as calm as she said.

"But it's finally a good start, isn't it? It's worth all the sacrifices Miss made..."

"Yeah, finally...it's starting!"

She raised her head and forced back the tears in her eyes. She had waited for this day long enough!
Shu Yunfu was in a very good mood. She walked out of the Tao's restaurant and took another look at the lively courtyard before stepping into the carriage. Her eyebrows were curved and a bright smile appeared at the corners of her mouth. A gust of wind blew, lifting a corner of her veil. In an instant, her beautiful face was exposed to the sunlight. Her clothes fluttered and her figure was shrouded in soft light, as if she was an immortal above the clouds.

"Let's go!"

He turned around and stepped into the carriage. The curtains were lowered, covering everything.

But she didn't know that someone had been following her obsessively because of a fleeting glimpse, until she entered the Duke of England's mansion.

What she didn't know was that there was a pair of eyes full of malice and greed staring at her. After seeing the gate of the Duke of England's Mansion, they left reluctantly.

The servants of Yizhuxuan discovered that Aunt Shu was really happy today.

When she went out, she brought them peach blossom cakes and chestnut cakes from Wuxiangzhai. She even had the mood to practice dancing, and she danced so beautifully that the group of maids and old women drooled when they saw her.

I was very confused. What was going on with this Second Master? Why was such a beautiful woman just placed in the backyard as a decoration without even being looked at?

"I'm so happy. For so many days, Second Master ignored me and I couldn't even see him. Although Second Master is injured now, I finally have the opportunity to take care of him. You must remember to prepare the nourishing soup for me in the next few days. I hope that Second Master will remember my kindness after drinking it."

She was in such a good mood that she didn't even feel disgusted by the character of being madly in love with Gu Changheng. She even went to the kitchen to serve the soup herself and happily delivered it to him. She didn't need to act so happy at all.

"Aunt Shu, you should go back first and take the soup back with you. The Second Master doesn't want to see you. You know his temper."

The delivery of soup was blocked again. This time, Qingshi blocked him outside the house before he could even see the person. He was rude and showed no respect at all. This time, even Qiutang felt sorry for her aunt. The Second Master was too much. The aunt was only thinking about the Second Master, but the Second Master didn't appreciate it at all. It was too much.

"I know Second Master doesn't want to see me, but you should keep this ginseng chicken soup. I cooked it myself for several hours. It is very nourishing and good for Second Master's health."

She smiled and looked at Qingshi's face full of expectation, but she rolled her eyes in her heart. How could she know the temper of this bastard Gu Changheng? Was he worthy of it!
If it wasn't for maintaining one's image, who would be willing to come?
