Chapter 398 Speaking in unison
Chen Er immediately laughed: "Forget about the money, but I can slap you. I despise women like you the most. Where did your arrogant flame go? Say you're refusing me again!"
Chen Er's words sounded like a senior speaking to a junior. The First Madam's cheeks were already swollen from being slapped, but according to Chen Er, these marks were inflicted by Zhao Tianming yesterday. Left with no other choice, the First Madam gritted her teeth and, with red eyes, agreed to Chen Er's statement.
The First Madam was cursing Chen Er in her heart, thinking how could he bully a woman like that? Chen Er then walked over to the other ladies.
"What happened to the injuries on your bodies? Do you know what to say later?" Chen Er's words were extremely cold, making the women feel chilled. They looked at each other and said in unison.
"It was that bastard Zhao Tianming who did it yesterday. Don't worry, Lord Chen Er, we will definitely do as you say."
These ladies aren't stupid either. Every single one of them who could be Zhao Tianming's wife must be an extremely intelligent woman.
However, Chen Er wouldn't make things too drastic. Chen Er clapped his hands, which made Zhang Xingchen take out all the money he had on him. Even Yang Xiaoqian contributed some of her own money and gave it to the ladies.
"Come on, come with me now and tell me everything I told you, especially about this Zhao Tianming. He's a scoundrel. You need to hear every single word he said about how he abused you."
Chen Er waved his hand with great power and domineering presence, and the ladies, like butterflies, crowded around him.
Some of the bolder ladies even dressed very provocatively and kept flirting with Chen Er, hoping that this first-rank official would take a second look at them so that they could find someone to take over after Zhao Tianming's downfall.
Some of the bolder women even turned their eyes to Zhang Xingchen, but when they saw that Yang Xiaoqian was walking beside him, their hearts sank.
Good heavens, Yang Xiaoqian, as Zhao Tianming's mistress, possessed both a graceful figure and an angelic face that made all men drool, leaving them only with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
These women, if placed among ordinary people, could be considered great beauties, but next to Yang Xiaoqian, most of them are just supporting characters, how could they be compared to the flowers?
Chen Er was extremely pleased with himself. Although he felt a bit disgusted with these wives, looking at the Ming Dynasty, this old fellow Zhao Tianming was about to be buried, yet he had so many wives. It really made Chen Er's head spin.
However, Chen Er has now made up his mind that he will wait until he has the opportunity to win over Qin Luoshen first.
When Chen Er thought of that girl's youthful face and her clear eyes, which were like stars in the night sky, he felt his heart start to beat faster.
At this moment, in the study, Zhao Tianming had been taken into custody by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and he kept pleading with Zhao Beixing.
Zhao Beixing was also very unhappy. He felt like he had a useless teammate. He was usually so smart and careful in his actions, so why did he have a lackey like Zhao Tianming?
Logically speaking, Zhao Beixing embezzled less money than Zhao Tianming, but Zhao Beixing was smart enough to ensure his safety. On the other hand, Zhao Tianming seemed to have never seen money in his life, and he was even unscrupulous at home, having set up a small warehouse for himself.
Now look what happened, Chen Er wiped them all out. If Zhao Beixing weren't looking after Zhao Tianming and himself, he would have kicked Zhao Tianming away. Just then, he suddenly saw Chen Er and Zhang Xingchen walking over with smiles on their faces.
What puzzled Zhao Tianming and Zhao Beixing was that their wives were following behind them. Zhao Tianming was a little surprised and wondered why Chen Er had called so many of his wives over at this critical juncture.
However, in the Ming Dynasty, it was absolutely permissible for a person to have many wives.
Otherwise, the emperor wouldn't have such a huge harem with three palaces and six courtyards. So Zhao Tianming felt that Chen Er couldn't possibly have lost his mind and pinned another crime on him with such a charge.
Zhao Beixing's brows furrowed, and he looked at Chen Er with a puzzled expression, while still politely bowing.
"Lord Chen Er, I don't know what your intention is in bringing so many ladies here. Are you perhaps just here to make a fool of Zhao Tianming?"
Although Zhao Beixing's voice was very gentle, the anger hidden in his words was no longer concealed.
Chen Er narrowed his eyes to slits and roared to the sky: "My lord, please calm down. Your health is already poor. If you were to die from anger, that would be terrible. Don't you agree?"
Zhao Beixing had no idea what Chen Er meant by what he had just said. If Zhao Beixing knew that Chen Er was cursing him to kick the bucket, he would be in trouble.
Will Lord Zhao Beixing be so angry that he probably spits out a mouthful of blood?
Chen Er looked at the First Madam and said calmly, "You speak first. Tell me everything you've experienced and all the hardships you've endured over the years. With me here, I will definitely stand up for you."
But when these words reached the ears of the First Madam, she almost cursed. Good heavens, she had seen shameless people, but never anyone so shameless.
Just now, under the table, she beat herself up like a dead dog, and then framed Zhao Tianming. However, at first, this First Madam still had some ideas.
They believed that Chen Er had exaggerated the situation. After all, Zhao Tianming had a superior, Zhao Beixing, and Zhao Tianming also had his own organization and influence. It was absolutely impossible for Chen Er to take down Zhao Tianming on his own.
But now, the First Madam finds that all her passion has been completely destroyed by the bizarre scene before her eyes, because her husband Zhao Tianming has been pinned to the ground by the Embroidered Uniform Guards. What difference is there between Zhao Tianming's current situation and that of a dead dog?
What Dr. Zhao didn't expect was that even Zhao Tianming's elder brother, Lord Zhao Beixing, had arrived. It seemed that the matter was already settled. Therefore, the First Madam understood that if she didn't do what Chen Er said, she would likely face endless retaliation from Chen Er.
