Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside-Chapter 727: Cuckolding Himself

Xia Tu’s group of Shadow Guards were Xia Gu’s last resort, and now that they were all captured and humiliated in such a manner by Qin San Lang, Xia Gu was so furious he spat out another mouthful of blood.

And while Xia Gu was spitting blood, Lady Xia suddenly lunged forward, driving the hairpin on her head toward Xia Gu’s neck.

With a thud, Xia Gu’s neck was pierced by the hairpin, and fresh blood flowed out.

Xia Gu was shocked, even more so than when Xia Tu and his men were entirely captured... Mrs. Xia Lian, the woman he had looked down on his whole life, actually dared to attack and kill him, wasn’t she the one who adored him the most, regarded him as her everything?

Lady Xia looked at Xia Gu and laughed: "My husband... you have been defeated in this lifetime... Let’s be together again in the next one."

Although her husband looked down on her, used her, and hurt her for a lifetime, she would not give up on him, whether in this life or the next, whether as a human or a ghost, she was determined to follow him!

Lady Xia looked mad, once again tried to stab Xia Gu’s neck with the hairpin, regrettably she was exhausted from poison, and the hairpin, though not a knife, was enough to wound someone but not enough to kill with her current strength.

Xia Gu tilted his head to avoid Lady Xia’s assassination attempt and with a harsh shove, pushed Lady Xia to the ground.

Lady Xia lay like an upturned frog, only able to gasp for breath, no longer having the strength to strike.

After escaping danger, Xia Gu spit in the direction of Lady Xia: "Madwoman, you madwoman... wishing for patricide, I divorce you."

Gu Jinli laughed upon seeing this: "Xia Gu, don’t you despise peasants the most? How come you are now acting like a peasant, cursing coarse words that peasants would say?"

Gu Jin’an’s words were even more poisonous than Gu Jinli’s: "His great-grandfather was a servant, not even a peasant. It’s not strange for him, a servant’s offspring, to say such things."

Hearing this, Xia Gu felt a sweet taste in his throat, a rush of blood went straight to his head, and he almost spat out another mouthful of blood.

Gu Jinli nodded in agreement: "Elder brother is right, even after three generations, the filthy blood still remains in their veins, unless Xia Gu is a bastard, not born to the Xia Family, then it’s possible he’s not a servant’s spawn."

Xia Er and Xia San were convinced by this sibling duo whose tongues were each more venomous than the other; their "father" cared most about face, and the two siblings’ words seemed designed to provoke their "father" to death by anger.

However...

"Do not worry, you cannot die just yet." Gu Jinli looked at Xia Gu with a "Saintly Mother’s" compassionate gaze: "I, along with Master Hu, will save you, treat your illness, allowing you to live a while longer."

There was still a good show to come for Xia Gu, if he died now, he wouldn’t be able to perform.

Feeling a chill down his spine upon hearing this, Xia Gu knew that if this poisonous girl Gu Jinli said so, his fate would be even more miserable than tonight.

"What do you want to do?" Xia Gu asked fearfully.

Gu Jinli smiled sweetly: "Not intending to do much, just seeing how you long to become famous, I just want to lend you a hand."

Having said that, without caring about Xia Gu’s terrified expression, she turned to Lady Xia: "Lady Xia, be assured, Xia Gu will not leave you. After you die, you will be buried together in one grave. You can be together, life after life, forever inseparable."

Hearing these words, Lady Xia twisted her head to Xia Gu with a smile: "My husband, did you hear that? We will be together, life after life."

Xia Gu shuddered and fainted with his eyes rolling back.

In a daze, he felt someone bandaging his wounds, injecting him with needles, and force-feeding him medicine... He knew that he could still be force-fed medicine because Gu Jinli had further plans waiting for him.

He did not wish to take the medicine, fearing the punishment that would come should he survive, yet he was more afraid of dying.

This night at the Xia Residence seemed endlessly long. After Xia Gu fainted, Lady Xia exhausted herself to unconsciousness, while Xia Er and Xia San kneeled down with their wives and children, asking, "Temple master, since you were able to uncover Xia Gu’s secret past, do you also know who the parents of us three brothers and our younger sister are?"

Master Hu said, "Your mother is one of the concubines Xia Gu kept in the past, and your father was a servant he had secretly bought. After your mother became pregnant, your father was secretly killed by Xia Gu."

Xia Er and Xia San were utterly shocked, "Our mother was actually one of those concubines?"

It was terrifying, too terrifying. To avoid suspicion, Xia Gu even went so far as to bring in a servant to cuckold himself. No wonder he had been beating and criticizing them brothers for so many years. They had only thought it was because they weren’t clever enough and failed to become Madmen, which led to Xia Gu’s contempt. In fact, it was because their father had cuckolded Xia Gu, and Xia Gu was venting his anger on them.

Xia San was more expressive with his emotions and was already in tears, asking, "What about our mother? I heard from Xia Family’s old servants that she was sold?"

Master Hu countered, "Do you think Xia Gu would let them live?"

Being sold was just an excuse; the truth was, "They are long dead."

They were killed by Xia Gu to silence them after giving birth to their children.

Having heard this, Xia San wept bitterly, but Xia San’s wife breathed a sigh of relief—not that she was pleased her husband wasn’t the biological son of the patriarch, but she didn’t want to deal with a concubine mother-in-law either.

Being more mature, Xia Er had lost much of his filial affection for Xia Gu over the years and had always been puzzled as to why Xia Gu disliked them. Now that he understood, he no longer wanted any ties with Xia Gu.

He asked Master Hu, "What does the temple master plan to do with us? Will you give us a chance to live?"

The Xia Family could be considered the Lu Family’s slaves, and even Xia Gu’s life and death had to be determined by the Lu Family, let alone theirs.

Master Hu said, "This was Xia Gu’s doing, and you are innocent, but you were also raised on the Xia Family’s provisions. If implicated, you will not survive either. If you want to live, you must do one thing."

Xia Er asked, "What is it?"

Master Hu recounted the plan that had been agreed upon with Gu Jinli and her brother.

Upon hearing this, Xia Er looked at his own wife and children, and ultimately nodded, "All right, we are willing to do this, but our elder brother and younger sister might object."

The elder brother managed the Xia Family’s properties and some power in a neighboring country, while the younger sister had married a local Marquis and became a Marchioness. Both had gained substantial benefits from Xia Gu, and were unlikely to let him off if he really went through with it.

Master Hu stated, "Your elder brother will be dealt with by the Lu Family."

Xia Da did many things in violation of the Lu Family’s rules for Xia Gu, such as secretly raising Shadow Guards, which was one of those acts, and for daring to train Shadow Guards privately, Xia Da was doomed.

As for Miss Xia, once her identity was exposed, Marquis Yu would divorce her immediately and send someone to silence her for good, completely cutting off the shame she cast upon him.

Upon hearing this, Xia Er bowed deeply, "Many thanks to the temple master."

Then, turning to Gu Jinli and Gu Jin’an, he said, "Thank you both."

Although he did not understand why Master Hu was helping Gu Jin’an and Gu Jinli, anyone with a discerning eye could see that these two held significant positions within the Lu Family.

However, Gu Jin’an and Gu Jinli would not admit that they were part of the Lu Family.
