Chapter 128: I became the brother of the heroine in the abusive novel (5)
"Hey, how can I interfere in other people's affairs? Don't blame Leng Ruoxuan, this is your own choice. Since you and Leng Ruoxuan are in love, you should be more considerate of him. He just lost the chance to be a father, how can he not be upset? Since he is upset, how can he not beat you? Think about it carefully, why doesn't he beat others, isn't it because you are his confidant!"
If you don't do your best, don't expect others to do it for you.
Of course Ning Zhuo could not deny their feelings. After all, this was Ning Zhuo's only support.
So she was led in by Ning Ning, and when she came to her senses, she was the only one left in the hall.
Ning Ning hurried to deal with Leng Ruoxuan's business. Leng Ruoxuan's mind was all on the inner house, and he just abused people every day. It would be unfair not to deal with him.
Ning Zhuo had no choice but to sigh and return to the Leng family.
As soon as she returned, she was targeted again. "Leng Lang, our silk shop was robbed of business by the Ning family and we can't sustain it. Now even the shop has been taken over by the Ning family. Humph, why does she always go back to her parents' home? She must be the one passing on information to her parents' home."
"Once I marry Leng Lang, I belong to him. How can I go back to my parents' home every day? Only she goes back to her parents' home every day. It must be that her heart is not here and she doesn't consider this place as her home at all."
"This vicious woman also harmed our child. Leng Lang, you have to avenge our child!"
Ning Zhuo just felt wronged, and her eyes suddenly turned red, as if she had a huge grievance to complain about. Even Leng Ruoxuan stopped what he was doing, waiting to hear what she had to say.
Unexpectedly, she held it in for a long time and said, "I really didn't do it. Now that you say that, I really don't know what to say!"
Leng Ruoxuan was so angry that he slapped her in the face, then ordered people to lock her up and not allow her to go to the Ning family again.
The maid came up and roughly pulled Ning Zhuo away. Ning Zhuo just muttered to himself in a daze, something about "young man" and "my heart breaks as soon as I see you", which made the women laugh and the room was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Next, Leng Ruoxuan had to take care of the shop's affairs. If he didn't manage it properly, his shop would be swallowed up.
Riding on a tall horse, he walked proudly on the street.
Humph, so what if business is not going well for a while!
His inner house is filled with all kinds of connections. As long as he can appease them, he can do business from all over the country. Then his road will be smooth!
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly someone was throwing water on the street, and a basin of water splashed him right on the spot!
Leng Ruoxuan was instantly soaked!
The person who splashed the water was a prostitute, so she didn't have to hide from people. Seeing this, she felt embarrassed and said to Leng Ruoxuan in a hurry, "My dear, don't worry, this water is not dirty. It contains perfume that I asked someone to buy from the Western Regions. I like the smell, so I mixed the perfume with water and put it in the house. This perfume is very good for washing rouge on the face. Oh, my dear, why is your face dirty?"
I saw a lot of powder on Leng Ruoxuan's face. It turned out that he usually wore makeup, but he covered it very well so that it was difficult to notice.
At this time, the makeup on his face was washed off, revealing a hideous scar, and people on the street immediately pointed at him.
"I heard from his servants that whenever he spent the night in a woman's room, he would leave early and lock himself in the room for an hour before showing up. We were still guessing what he was doing, but it turned out he was putting on makeup!"
"Oh my god, this scar is so scary. No wonder he has to wear makeup. Otherwise, if his wives and concubines saw it, they would think they saw a ghost!"
"Hey, why do I suddenly feel that not only does he look worse, but his temperament is also much worse. How should I put it, he's like a completely different person."
"You're right. I used to think he was a rare talent and should not be taken lightly. How come he suddenly lost all his aura?"
Facing everyone's strange looks, Leng Ruoxuan felt like a deflated ball.
His true face was exposed to everyone, which exposed his confidence.
He was so ashamed and angry that he cried out "Ouch!", covered his face with his hands, and rode back on his horse!
The prostitute was still shouting behind him, "My dear, why are you running? I have all kinds of rouge and powder here, just come up and touch up your makeup!"
Even if he escaped back in a panic, he could not prevent his wives and concubines at home from seeing his true face.
Ning Zhuo was fine. After all, she had seen Leng Ruoxuan disfigured with her own eyes, so she was mentally prepared.
But having several wives and concubines is not enough!
It was not only Leng Ruoxuan's face that collapsed, but also the charm of Leng Ruoxuan that attracted so many of them disappeared.
As if the enchantment was dispelled, they seemed to see Leng Ruoxuan clearly.
Not to mention others, even the official's concubine's daughter couldn't stand it.
She had received an orthodox boudoir education, and suddenly realized that something was wrong. She regretted it every day and kept complaining to her maid, "Dad had found a marriage for me that day. It was a man who had a bright future. I heard that he has passed the imperial examination now. I don't know why I refused to marry Leng Ruoxuan! I should have been the legal wife, but I ended up being neither a wife nor a concubine."
The others were also muttering, "Leng Ruoxuan's business isn't that good. I think he's not as good as me. Why did I think he was a business genius?"
"When Leng Ruoxuan proposed to my brother, he clearly said that he wanted me to be his legal wife and that he would not stop me from roaming the martial arts world. But how could I have agreed to stay in the inner house for him without thinking? Did he drug me?"
"Our child is gone, and he never gave me an explanation. He said he would investigate, but in the end he didn't find anything! Why did I think he was so capable?!"
Ning Ning heard the rumors and ordered the housekeeper, "Leng Ruoxuan's deception will not last long. Send someone to tell their families how these wives and concubines are doing. Remember, don't be too deliberate, and make sure they think they found out the information themselves."
"clear."
Of course, the brothel woman who splashed water was arranged by Ning Ning, and now he has spread the news.
Apart from anything else, just the fact that Leng Ruoxuan's backyard was so messy was enough that the families of several girls would not agree.
Since some of them could have miscarriages, it means that the wives and concubines are not united in their relationship.
When several women compete for one man, of course someone will be wronged.
They are not Ning Zhuo. Once the halo is gone, they will never endure it in vain.
If in the past, when the girls' families came to inquire about the matter, they would take the initiative to help cover it up, but now they are still puzzled themselves, so naturally they would not help Leng Ruoxuan anymore.
As a result, their parents were furious and tried to trip up Leng Ruoxuan.
Some forced Leng Ruoxuan to fulfill his promise, after all, his daughter had to be his legal wife.
Some even simply asked their daughters what they wanted to do, whether they wanted to divorce and go home, and then their families would find her a suitable husband.
Leng Ruoxuan's goods could no longer flow freely, and he could no longer get horses outside the customs and goods from the sea at low prices. His business was immediately reduced by more than half.
He wanted to teach these wives and concubines a lesson, but they were more stubborn than the other. They pinched their waists and glared at each other. "You treat me like this. I really doubt whether I chose a good husband!"
