Chapter 437 Gao Guilan's baby wants to commit suicide

After Wang Wenzhou finished bathing, the common people and women in white outside the brothel had already been driven away by the yamen runners led by Liu Zongzhou.

Although Liu Zongzhou had suffered a loss at the morning court session at the hands of Wang Wenzhou, he still came over to apologize to Wang Wenzhou. Of course, he did so not out of respect for Wang Wenzhou, but out of respect for Wang Chengen.

"Lord Wang, I am truly sorry that I am late!" Liu Zongzhou said, bowing.

"Hmph!" Wang Wenzhou asked irritably, "Have you arrested all those troublemakers?"

Liu Zongzhou said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Lord Wang, although the people have made some minor mistakes, they have not committed any serious crimes. How can I, as an official, arbitrarily arrest people for such trivial matters? If the censors find out, they will surely impeach me for disregarding the law."

"Hmph!" Wang Wenzhou snorted coldly and said viciously, "You surnamed Liu, we'll see!"

"Let's go!" Wang Wenzhou said, putting his arm around Liu Hanxue.

Wang Chengen cupped his hands in greeting to Liu Zongzhou and said, "Farewell, Lord Liu. I am here on the Empress's orders to escort Lord Wang back to his residence."

"Take care, Eunuch Wang." Liu Zongzhou bowed as he saw him off.

As Wang Wenzhou, with Liu Hanxue in his arms, stepped out of the brothel, he suddenly heard a woman's voice shout: "Wang Wenzhou, you scoundrel!"

"Damn it, not again!" Wang Wenzhou hurriedly retreated into the brothel. He glared at Wang Chengen and cursed, "Old Wang, the security situation in the capital is really terrible! And the prefect of Yingtian is a good-for-nothing who only knows how to visit brothels and doesn't do any proper work. So, are you going to send some Imperial Guards to protect me?"

Liu Zongzhou rolled his eyes at Wang Wenzhou with disdain. "You old man visiting a brothel? I'm here to save you, okay!"

Wang Chengen thought for a moment and then said, "Lord Wang, I cannot make a decision on this matter. I will consult His Majesty after I return to the palace."

Wang Wenzhou nodded and said, "No problem. Given Brother Zhu's relationship with me, he will definitely agree."

Wang Chengen thought so too. The emperor really favored Wang Wenzhou and listened to Wang Wenzhou's nonsense on almost everything. He even almost swapped clothes with Wang Wenzhou.

"Oh no! Someone's going to jump off a building!"

"Why would such a beautiful girl want to jump off a building?"

"Girl, why don't you jump!"

"Girl, stop jumping! How about marrying me? I'm twenty-eight this year, with a car, a house, and a housekeeper!"

No matter the era, people always love to watch a spectacle. In no time, the street in front of the brothel was filled with onlookers.

It's said that onlookers love a good show, and all sorts of opinions are expressed. Some instigators tell people to jump off the building, while others, with kind hearts, earnestly advise against doing anything foolish.

Upon hearing this, Wang Wenzhou smiled slightly and said, "Baby, let's go watch the excitement. We've been having a bad day, getting blamed all the time. But finally, we're lucky and can watch the show."

Liu Hanxue shook her head with a wry smile. Wang Wenzhou, that madman, is never serious.

"Husband! Come quickly!" Suddenly, Wang Ying rushed in.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?" Wang Wenzhou asked in surprise.

"Um..." Wang Chengen was very embarrassed. He didn't know how to greet Wang Ying when he saw her.

Wang Ying was very anxious. She nodded to Wang Chengen and said, "Wang Ying greets Father-in-law."

"Greetings, Madam Wang!" Wang Chengen quickly bowed.

"Come with me!" Wang Ying grabbed Wang Wenzhou and pulled him outside.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Wang Wenzhou asked, puzzled.

"You wretch!" Wang Ying said angrily, "You kept saying you were going to court to save Gao Yingxiang, but what happened? Gao Yingxiang was executed by slow slicing, and that's not all. You actually went to a brothel! Just now, Gao Guilan and I were passing by when she saw you coming out of a brothel. She couldn't think straight and ran to the building across the street, threatening to jump!"

"Damn it!" Wang Wenzhou exclaimed upon hearing this, and hurriedly ran out.

"Get the fuck out of here!"

There were too many onlookers, three layers deep, and Wang Wenzhou couldn't squeeze in at all, nor could he see Xiao Lanlan upstairs.

Wang Wenzhou was immediately enraged and shouted, "Jian Fengyu, clear a bloody path for me! Anyone who dares to block my way, I'll beat them so badly their own parents won't recognize them!"

"Your subordinate obeys!" Jian Fengyu and the sedan chair bearers' guards were just looking for a place to vent their frustrations. In one day, they had been made to do the excrement three times with Wang Wenzhou, and they felt extremely uncomfortable.

At Wang Wenzhou's command, Jian Fengyu led his men and charged forward. In no time, the onlookers downstairs were driven away, and a clearing was quickly created.

Wang Wenzhou rushed over, knelt down, looked up at Gao Guilan on the roof, and said with deep emotion, "Little Lanlan, I beg you, please don't do anything rash!"

Gao Guilan pointed at Wang Wenzhou and cursed, "Wang Wenzhou, you shameless scoundrel! I stabbed my father to save you, almost killing him. You kept saying you would save my father, but what happened? My father was executed by slow slicing, while you were happily patronizing prostitutes in a brothel!"

"Bang, bang, bang!" Wang Wenzhou kowtowed three times, saying aggrievedly, "Little Lanlan, listen to Uncle's explanation, Uncle is truly innocent! From the moment I left home today..."

Before Wang Wenzhou could finish speaking, Gao Guilan shouted, "Wang Wenzhou, shut up! I don't believe you anymore! Sister Liu Rushi is right, anyone who believes you is dead! I'll die today!"

"Little Lanlan, my dear aunt, stop it!" Wang Wenzhou was on the verge of tears. He had never imagined that his silly and adorable little Lanlan would one day not believe him. Before, no matter what Wang Wenzhou said, the naive little Lanlan would believe him without question.

"Wang Wenzhou! How could you do this to me? For you, I even disowned my own father! And yet you treat me like this!" Gao Guilan, the baby, became more and more heartbroken as she spoke, tears streaming down her face.

Wang Wenzhou was very frustrated. Like the story of the boy who cried wolf, everyone has a credit limit in the eyes of others. When you lie too much, you overdraw your credit limit, and even if you tell the truth, they will no longer believe you.

"Little Lanlan, I beg you! You haven't given Uncle a baby yet!" Wang Wenzhou knew that no matter what he said now, Gao Guilan wouldn't believe him. He could only start by talking about what Gao Guilan wanted most, hoping to persuade her to give up her suicidal thoughts.

Gao Guilan wiped away her tears with her sleeve and said aggrievedly, "You son of a bitch! I don't want to live anymore! Wang Wenzhou, I'm going to die right here!"

Wang Wenzhou turned around, glanced at Wang Ying, and whispered, "Sister-in-law, don't just stand there! Quickly sneak up and bring Xiao Lanlan down!"

Wang Ying nodded. She had been in such a hurry that she hadn't thought of that. But after Wang Wenzhou reminded her, she quickly slipped into the crowd, wanting to go upstairs to save Gao Guilan.

"Little Lanlan, Uncle was wrong! Please forgive Uncle this time, okay?" Wang Wenzhou said with a broken heart, "Little Lanlan, Uncle can't live without you! It's all Uncle's fault. Uncle swears that he will never lie to you again, okay?"

"Wang Wenzhou, I'm going to die right now!" Gao Guilan said in a serious and cold voice.

"Bang bang bang..." Wang Wenzhou was terrified and hurriedly kowtowed hard. In a short while, blood appeared on his head.
