The Lady’s Sickly Husband

Chapter 94: The Biggest Loser

Fang Taoer didn’t try to catch up but looked lunatic from sister Zhang’s bombarded cursing. She laughed loudly and paced ahead slowly.

Fortunately, they weren’t very far from the Wang village. Within one quarter, the spectacle came into the view of the village.

It attracted the attention of every village who passed by.

Mo Qianxue requested one village surnamed Wang to go and invite the head, and Awu drove the carriage right to the ancestral hall.

In a while, the head and elders all arrived.

Seeing his son was tied up in the hall, elder Li hurriedly went over to loose the ropes. To his surprise, the moment Li Kaishi was released, he instantly gave a slap in the face of Zhang Genbao who was next to him.

“Stop it! How dare you to act crazy in the ancestral hall!” As the village head scolded, Li Kaishi was pulled back and pressed against the ground.

The head turned to Mo Qianxue and asked politely, “Could I know what is going on?”

Before Mo Qianxue replied, sister Zhang burst into crying.

“Head, please help me!”

The head didn’t answer yet, and sister Zhang yelled again.

“Fang Taoer seduced my Genbao. I caught them when they did the dirty thing in the carriage… Li Kaishi didn’t punish his wife but wanted to kill my husband.”

“… My husband is wronged. It’s all because the shameless bitch. She seduced him… He is wronged!”

She talked nonsense but made clear most of the fact.

Since this was a hearing in the ancestral hall, in a moment, the hall was full of people.

A young wife burst into laughter when she heard sister Zhang’s crying, “Your Genbao isn’t wronged at all. The other day Yunniang saw him doing it with a woman in his carriage.”

“Right. I heard it was in the forest. Field battle in the carriage… The carriage fell apart for several times…”

“I heard Yunniang and Xiaolei saw them together. It couldn’t be wrong.”

“I didn’t expect the thing being exposed so soon. The vinegar jar caught it on the spot…”

“The other day, Yunniang complained that she didn’t see clear the slut and her eyes hurt by the shaking white buttocks of your Genbao.”

“I knew Fang Taoer is a bitch. She committed adultery with Li Kaishi before marriage. Now within one month after her wedding, she did it again with another man. What a shameless woman…”

Everything came to light through people’s discussion.

Elder Fang had heard of the affair earlier but he didn’t expect that the woman was his cherished daughter. Instantly, his face turned black.

Elder Li’s face was more splendid.

His son’s problem was going to be known to the public and his daughter-in-law was an adulterous bitch.

“Quiet!” The head shouted and pointed at sister Zhang, “Stop crying and tell everything properly.”

Zhang Genbao knew the nature of sister Zhang. An honest man he was, he shouted at her anxiously, “You stupid woman. Go home! If you dare to say nonsense, I’ll divorce you immediately!”

Sister Zhang was first scared by the head and then irritated by her husband’s words. This man should want to end the affair easily? Apparently, he was trying to protect Fang Taoer.

According to law, a woman who committed adultery should be sunk into the river.

Today, she must make the shameless bitch dead. As for Zhang Genbao, with their son Baozhu, she didn’t believe Zhang Genbao would abandon her.

Hatred accumulated in sister Zhang’s heart. She took a deep breath to make her mind clearer. In a more reasonable and logical way, she restated what she had witnessed.

Upon finishing, she added with resentment, “Head, please take Fang Taoer here. Whether I’m lying or not will be tested by asking her.”

Such a scandal hadn’t been heard of for many years in the village. The head realized how serious the situation was, so he ordered to a villager, “Go and get Fang Taoer.”

He barely finished yet, that person dashed out and in a second, got Fang Taoer here.

Li Kaishi was pressed against the ground, silent for long.

The way he looked at Fang Taoer was as scary as a hideous wolf. At this moment, what in his mind wasn’t whether Fang Taoer could survive this but whether his secret condition would be known to others. Within one month since their wedding, his woman went out to steal men.

Anyone would reasonably doubt that it was his problem.

If his condition was known to all the folks, how could he continue to live in the village… At this moment, he became murderous.

Li Kaishi didn’t care at all about Fang Taoer’s life, but Zhang Genbao’s eyes were red. He shouted and cursed sister Zhang, but later his mouth was plugged at the head’s order.

The village head took a disapproving glance at Fang Taoer and reproached, “Fang Taoer, sister Zhang accused you of committing adultery with her husband. Is it a truth?”

“Yes.” Fang Taoer’s tone was calm.

The crowd had thought she would deny it. Unexpectedly, she admitted readily. It seemed that sister Zhang’s cursing at her worked out and took leave of her senses.

Her rare seriousness stunned the head, but he had to judge.

With a sigh, he pulled his face and said, “Since you’ve pleaded guilty, there is no need for further interrogation. Now I announce the judgment. Fang Taoer, a woman lacking of virtue, disregarded ethics and broke village rules. According to law, she will be put into a cage and sunk in the river.”

Put into a cage? Sunk in the river? Mo Qianxue was shocked too. She didn’t aim at killing Fang Taoer but only to humiliate her so that in the future she wouldn’t dare to face Mo Qianxue or try to seduce Ning Shaoqing again.

Mo Qianxue didn’t expect that an ancient village was granted with such power so as to sentence a person to death so easily.

She wanted to stand up and say something, swallowing and stepping forward, when Awu pulled her sleeve.

At a second thought, she found that she had no stance.

In addition, since she now lived in this world, she must act in accordance with its rules. Moreover, at the thought of the fact that it was Fang Taoer who had almost killed Ning Shaoqing, she involuntarily stepped back.

Fang Taoer laughed madly, “I don’t accept it. I have something to say.” She looked unafraid of death.

Elder Fang thought his daughter was going to defend herself. No matter how shameless she was, she was his baby daughter after all. Probably she was forced by Zhang Genbao.

“My daughter must be forced by Zhang Genbao.” Only with this reason could there be a chance for his daughter to survive. As he said he gave a look to Fang Taoer, who ignored it and didn’t answer her father but turned around to search for someone in the crowd.

Instantly, the crowd was in clamor. Everyone feared that she might look at them, which would bring in slutty disgust, especially for men.

Fang Taoer’s gaze slid around in the crowd, and finally the desperate bottomless gaze fell on Mo Qianxue.

She stared at her and said unhurriedly, “Mrs. Ning, you’re the murder who puts me into this dead end.”

Everyone looked at Mo Qianxue.

Some were puzzled. At this nick of time, why did she get at Mo Qianxue instead of defending herself?

Some felt angry for Mo Qianxue. Fang Taoer disregarded women’s virtues to seduce another man and was caught on site by his wife. How could she be so shameless to blame Mrs. Ning?

Some even wished to watch a messier and more spectacular drama, wondering if Mrs. Ning was the culprit who had set up a trap for Fang Taoer to jump in. If so, the drama would be interesting.

If so, very likely the head would confiscate all her property and make it public. Then, he himself would be benefited from the tofu workshop, the restaurant and the carving workshop.

“What do you mean? When did I hurt you? Show us the evidence.” Mo Qianxue wasn’t willing to talk to her, but in the eyes of the public, she must defend herself, otherwise people would really believe she was the framer.

“Evidence? Is it necessary? Everyone in the village can testify for me! Mo Qianxue, you are just a strange woman coming from nowhere. Why should you marry Mr. Ning?” Fang Taoer had never been bolder for her entire life. The voice was so clear and loud that it seemed the one to be locked in a cage and sunk into river had nothing to do with her.

“But for your presence, I would have been Mrs. Ning long ago. And if he became an official, I’m an official lady too. How could I become who I am today?!” Fang Taoer gnashed.

“And, you’re only a woman of unknown origin. You only deserve to be a slave. Even if you marry Mr. Ning as a lucky wife and cured his disease, you don’t even deserve to be his concubine.”

“You have neither a matchmaker nor betrothal gifts. Nor did you worship heaven and earth or his parents with him. You didn’t give birth to children for him either. How ridiculous that you believe you’re his legal wife!”

Mo Qianxue turned dumb by her words. In an instant, all kinds of noises rang in her mind. Apparently, someone had taught Fang Taoer to say these because she was too stupid and illiterate to make such a speech. There must be a person who had deliberately let her hear it. Since people discussed like this, it meant the speech made some sense.

She wasn’t a legal wife? Then what was she?

Mo Qianxue was disturbed by the words. It seemed that she hadn’t known enough about this world. Having said that, she sounded calm, “What does it have to do with you whether I’m a legal wife or not? Is it me who forced you to break women’s rules?”

Fang Taoer didn’t reply. The speech only aimed at irritating Mo Qianxue instead of arguing with her.

She shook her head and then fixed her eyes on Li Kaishi.

“Li Kaishi, you bastard! You put me into this. You’re not a man at all. Even if I’m naked and climbed on you, you’re still useless.”

“Shut up! Bitch!” Li Kaishi wanted to tear up her mouth, but he was pressed by others.

“You are a useless man! Am I wrong? If you deny it, why don’t you show it to them whether your thing still exists or not…”

“Shut up! Shut up! …” No one came up to plug Fang Taoer’s mouth but Li Kaishi’s mouth was blocked up.

“You made me do it! Why are you blaming me now? I won’t shut up. Genbao is a real man. His thing had reaction as long as slightly touch it. He can do it five times in a row in the carriage. Can you? You can only vent your anger on me and hit me and beat me. All that you did was fake love-making! You yourself is always useless…”

Fang Taoer said it and her face became obsessive.

At this moment, no one cared how shameless she was. Everyone showed sympathy when they know she must be sunk in river at such a young age.

“You’re a bitch! Shameless bitch…you seduced my man, you’ll go to hell…” Sister Zhang couldn’t bear the speech anymore. Resentment and jealousy blurred her face.

“Sister Zhang. You can hate me. But who should I hate? I marry to a useless man. But you? You’s even more hateful! You can’t satisfy your man! Li Kaishi is a useless man and you’re a useless woman!”

fang Taoer was now like a crazy dog biting whoever she caught.

“You…you…you’re talking nonsense.”

“You know best what I mean.”

“Shut up; shut up… One more word, I’ll tear up your mouth.”

Fang Taoer no longer looked at sister Zhang and proceeded.

“Many years ago, your place stopped having water. It became dry and dull, right? My brother Genbao couldn’t even get in. Even if he did get in, it hurt like crazy. Once he felt so painful that he forced in, only to peel off a layer of skin inside and make it bleed. Ever since than, brother Genbao didn’t dare to touch you for many years.”

No water down there? Was it a woman disease or frigidity? Another wave of clamor started to spread in the crowd.

“No wonder she suspects her husband everyday. It turns out she herself is the reason.”

“Alas, what a poor woman sister Zhang is. She is still young…”

“I only heard of useless men. It turns out there are useless women…”

“Nonsense; nonsense; you’re talking nonsense…” Sister Zhang was hysterical.

Yet, Fang Taoer laughed wildly, adding, “It’s said that women are made of water, but there isn’t water in your place. Tell me, you really think you’re a woman? How can you blame me?”

“You…you shut up.” Sister Zhang covered her own ears with hands and shrieked at Fang Taoer. Then she turned to Zhang Genbao, “Zhang Genbao, you’re an asshole!”

“You, all of you are assholes…”

Sister Zhang opened her mouth wide and cursed incoherently. In public, such an embarrassing secret disease of her was made known to others like a joke.

A moment earlier, although she was also cursing, she didn’t lose her sanity. Now, obviously, she had never expected that her husband would tell that bitch her unmentionable disease.

Zhang Genbao’s heart ached when he heard that Fang Taoer was going to be sunk in river. Now he was only thirty years old. After so many years of life without sex, he only got a taste of woman only a dozen of days ago.

No matter how bad Fang Taoer was in the eye of others, she was the best to him. Also because of this, he had even, for the first time, beaten his wife, to whom he had always been obedient.

Zhang Genbao was a piece of dry firewood that had restrained himself for long, while Fang Taoer was horny fire. Therefore, every time the two met, they did it to the full until they both gasped with unprecedented satisfaction. Zhang Genbao even thought about divorcing sister Zhang.

Only because Fang Taoer was a married woman whom he couldn’t marry did he gave up the idea.

At this moment, as his beloved-one was to be sunk in river, he didn’t care anymore, “You stupid bitch. Who is an asshole?

I bear with you only because of our son Baozhu. But how about you? You’re useless but you tried every means to control me. In the past years, I’ve lived a life of a monk. It’s the biggest mercy that I didn’t divorce you. But you keep making troubles. Now you’re killing Fang Taoer…”

“You…” In the face of her husband’s accusation, sister Zhang collapsed to the ground.

No matter how the scandal would end, she had no face to stay in the Wang village any longer. Since their affair was exposed, Zhang Genbao lost a huge face and was determined to divorce her.

Every bit of her strength seemed to be drained out. She had never expected that the biggest loser of this scandal should be her.
