Chapter 313: Old Man Huang's Past

"The next day I asked someone about her."

"I heard that her family planned to marry her off to her cousin, but they hadn't gotten engaged yet, so I decided to strike first."

Gu Fei glanced at Old Man Huang, and he was indeed treacherous.

"I asked an official matchmaker to propose marriage, and promised a large sum of money as a betrothal gift."

"Her family is just an ordinary family, and they had never seen so much money, or even heard of it, but her parents were tempted."

"That was more than 20 years ago, and Steward Wu was not a steward yet, but just a servant in the Prince Qi's mansion. In terms of status, he was just a servant, and in terms of wealth, he was far inferior to me. My parents-in-law promised her to me regardless of my wife and Wu Dahai's pleadings."

"Although my wife didn't want to marry me, she had to marry because of her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words."

"After I got married, I soon had my son, but my wife injured herself when she gave birth to my son and could no longer get pregnant."

"That's fine. Anyway, I already have a son to continue the family line, so I will just take care of her and her mother wholeheartedly."

"Since my wife followed me, she has been taking care of her husband and children and managing the household. My family's business has been getting better and better, and our family has been living a prosperous life until my son got into trouble."

"My wife fell ill and lay in bed for half a year. It was obvious that she would not survive."

"At this time, my useless brother, I don't know who instigated him to bring a maid over, saying she wanted to be my concubine, so that I wouldn't die without her, but in fact she was asking me for money. "

"It happened that the maid who served my wife was ignorant and told my wife about this. My wife was already not well, and her condition became worse after hearing about this. I quickly sent someone to call her parents over."

"Then Wu Dahai also came with me. As soon as he came, he beat me up and said that I was ungrateful and that I only wanted to take a concubine while my wife was still sick in bed. If my wife got better, it would be fine, but if anything happened to my wife, he would make me pay with my life."

"At this time, Wu Dahai was already the chief steward of the Prince Qi's Mansion. He was extremely powerful to common people like us."

"My wife still had some feelings for me. She heard what Wu Dahai said in the room and called him in, asking him to swear that if anything happened to her, he would not do anything to me."

"If Wu Dahai dared to do something to me, she would not see him in the next life."

"They made a promise in front of me for the next life. I, I..."

It was obviously a very tragic thing, but Gu Fei wanted to laugh again after hearing it.

This old man Huang, I really don't know what to say.

Old man Huang smiled bitterly, "If I had known this would happen, I would not have done it in the first place."

"That Wu Dahai is also a ruthless person. He has never married and is only thinking about my wife."

Gu Fei raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that steward Wu was still a romantic.

He is just too cruel.

"After my wife passed away, someone proposed a marriage to me, with a twenty-year-old girl. I didn't want to live alone, so I agreed. Who knew that Wu Dahai would come the next day."

"He told me that I would never live a good life. Although he promised my wife that he would not do anything to me, if I dared to marry a wife or a concubine, he would kill one of them."

"I knew he could do what he said, so I took 50,000 taels of silver to beg him. I said I was willing to use all my wealth in exchange for him letting me go."
