Ma was terrified, and all her doubts were resolved.

According to her plan, the man should appear in Su's room and make love with her. Qiu Ju set fire in the kitchen to lure everyone out, and then she ordered people to break down the door and catch Su red-handed.

But Qiu Ju has not returned since she set the fire. Now I think she must have been kidnapped by that little bitch Gu Jin!

The only thing she couldn't understand was why the Marquis was here?

When Qiu Ju saw Marquis Yongchang sitting in the main seat, she was almost frightened to death.

When she looked at the man next to her who was tied up and had a shaky face, she felt even more disgusted.

Her innocence was ruined by such a man!

"My Lord, Second Madam, I know nothing. This thief must have drugged me and abducted me!" Qiuju knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, her forehead banging on the bluestone bricks.

The man's name was Gou Er, and he was a notorious rogue in the city.

When he heard Qiuju's name, he was dumbfounded and guessed that he was being tricked.

The other party clearly said that she was a merchant's daughter, how did she suddenly become the wife of a marquis!

He would do anything for money to bully men and women, but that doesn't mean he would even risk his life.

Gou Er rolled his eyes and said hurriedly, "You bitch, you asked me to come here for a tryst, and you said it would be extra exciting to have sex in the temple, but in the end you turned your back on me!"

"You're talking nonsense! Why don't you take a piss and see what you look like? Who would be blind enough to like you?" Qiu Ju was furious and quickly defended herself.

Gou Ermo said nonchalantly: "I may not look good, but I'm good at sex! All the girls I've slept with were still unsatisfied. Didn't you scream quite loudly just now?"

"Enough!" Marquis Yongchang said angrily.

How could a room full of women allow this scoundrel to speak foul language?

Gou Er understood clearly that he didn't know who his employer was, but at this time he could only insist that he was having an affair with this woman, otherwise he would lose his head if he was convicted of defiling an official's wife.

"I didn't! Lord, please believe me... Second Madam, please help me explain it!"

Ma was about to speak with her lips trembling, but Gu Jin interrupted her and said, "Qiu Ju, you really asked the wrong person. Second Aunt didn't see anything just now, but she suspected that my mother had an affair with someone, and she even brought people to knock on the door.

Now that you have had an affair with this man in public, how can you expect Second Aunt to trust you?

If she can even defend you with this, then didn't Second Aunt just deliberately target my mother? "

Ma had always thought that Gu Jin was just a little clever, but now that her sharp words had fallen on her, she realized how powerful she was.

Qiuju's face turned even paler when she heard this.

Gu Jin glared at her coldly, smiling, "Qiuju, if you two are in love, maybe your father will help you."

Gou Er’s eyes lit up. There is such a good thing!

Looking at Qiuju's graceful figure, Gou Er's eyes were full of lust. He was in a daze just now and couldn't remember the feeling at all. If he really married this little beauty, they would have a life of revelry every night.

"I didn't!" Qiu Ju denied flatly, "I don't even know this person!"

"I believe you."

Qiu Ju's eyes lit up after hearing Gu Jin's words, but she heard Gu Jin say to Yongchang Hou: "Father, I think this scoundrel is talking nonsense. Why not send him to the government for a thorough interrogation?"

The Second Madam's pupils shrank sharply. She suddenly stood up and slapped Qiu Ju in the face. "You slut! I treated you so well in the past, but you actually did such a despicable thing. Are you worthy of me, your parents and your brothers?"

Qiuju only felt her cheeks burning, but her hands were tied behind her back and she couldn't cover her cheeks. She could only raise her tearful eyes and look at Ma in disbelief.

Through Ma's cold and warning gaze, Qiuju realized that she had been completely abandoned by the lady.

She fell to the ground with a deathly pale face, her head buzzing.

She didn't want to accept her fate, but her parents and brother were all in the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion. If she disobeyed her ladyship, her family would be buried with her.

Gu Jin watched coldly. She had no parents or siblings, so she didn't understand why Qiu Ju was willing to give up her own life for the fate of others.

She wanted to say something else, but the Marquis of Yongchang said coldly, "Gag them and take them away, put them under strict guard, and bring them back to the Marquis' Mansion for separate punishment!"

At the same time, he said to Kong Ming: "Our mansion has indeed failed in its duty this time. We are willing to renovate the main hall, but please do not mention this matter to the outside world."

Although Kongming was annoyed, he could not pursue the matter further. Moreover, Marquis Yongchang promised to renovate the main hall, so that they would not feel uncomfortable going to the main hall to chant scriptures every day.

As for keeping the secret, they would not reveal it to anyone even if Marquis Yongchang did not remind them. After all, they in the Wanfo Temple also feel ashamed of such a horrifying thing.

Kongming knew that the Marquis had some private matters to deal with, so he left with a group of monks.

Gu Jin frowned, thinking that he was trying to make a big deal out of a small matter?

Although Marquis Yongchang rarely interfered in matters of the rear house, he could see through the trick.

But Ma was his sister-in-law after all, and if the matter became a big deal, the entire Yongchang Marquis Mansion would be embarrassed, so he had no intention of handing Gou Er and Qiu Ju over to the government.

Family disgrace should not be made public. Marquis Yongchang originally planned to hand Ma over to his mother, Mrs. Huo, for disposal after returning to the marquis's mansion. However, looking at Gu Jin's cold and gloomy eyes, he suddenly felt panic in his heart for some reason.

Could it be that Gu Jin thought that he was deliberately protecting Ma and therefore misunderstood that he had an affair with his brother and sister-in-law?

No way, no way!

This was the first time he met his daughter-in-law, and he must not leave this impression on her.

"Ma, do you know this?" Marquis Yongchang put on the coldest face of his life, stared at Ma with wide eyes, fearing that he would be criticized for being "spoiler".

Marquis Yongchang was born with a stern appearance, and at this moment, his frowning glare was even more terrifying.

Ma thought that the Marquis of Yongchang would hand her over to the Huo family for disposal, but she didn't expect that he would punish her in front of everyone, "My Lord, it was really an unintentional mistake..."

"Do you know how much injustice your careless mistake has caused Madam to suffer?"

Yongchang Hou looked at Ma coldly, saying, "Your personal maid committed such a big mistake and brought disgrace to the Hou Mansion. You can't even manage your own maid. I think you should stop managing the household affairs of the Hou Mansion."

Ma was horrified, thinking that the Marquis was going to take away her power over household expenses!

Marquis Yongchang glanced at Gu Jin and saw that her face was cold and expressionless, which seemed to indicate that she was not satisfied with the result.

"If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked. Qiu Ju has no self-respect, which shows that her parents and brothers are not good people either. They should all be sold out!

As for Qiu Ju, since she has given up her dignity for this man, I will help this pair of wild lovers."

It's over, it's over!

Qiuju's body went limp and she fainted completely.

Ma gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly.

Marquis Yongchang eliminated her confidants in front of everyone in the mansion, which was tantamount to a slap in the face to her. Who would be willing to work for her in the future?

Seeing that Gu Jin was still frowning, Marquis Yongchang felt a little unsure.

What can I do to satisfy her? I can't kill Ma to satisfy her, right?
