Chapter 840: Chapter 840: Worn-out Shoes Chapter 840: Chapter 840: Worn-out Shoes The old dowager consort watched the consort of the Prince of Rui with great interest.

“Consort Rui, is that Su maiden as remarkable as you claim?” The old dowager consort had suffered from a poor appetite for more than a year or two, but it had become particularly severe these last few days.

No matter what it was, the old dowager consort had no desire to eat it; even the sight of oily foods made her nauseous.

The old dowager consort didn’t quite believe that Su Yunjin was as skilled as Consort Rui had said. However, upon hearing that Su Yunjin had cured Consort Rui’s morning sickness, she developed a bit of an interest in the dishes prepared by Su Yunjin.

She was curious to see if the cuisine made by Su Yunjin could indeed stimulate her appetite. Meanwhile, Su Yunjin was busy preparing an appetizer for the old dowager consort.

Elsewhere, at the Gu Family’s old residence, there was a tremendous commotion last night. In the middle of the night, Gu Changshun and Wan Ruyan ran out of their room fighting, both disheveled.

Gu Changshun cursed Wan Ruyan as a ruined woman, while Wan Ruyan accused Gu Changshun of shamelessly scheming against her. They brawled viciously in the courtyard. Gu Changshun had trapped Wan Ruyan last night, but he didn’t see the expected ‘red’ sign of her purity, nor did he feel any resistance when he took her then.

That membrane simply wasn’t there at all.

Learning that Wan Ruyan was not chaste, Gu Changshun’s anger soared unchecked. He had always believed Wan Ruyan was pure and untouched.

Never did he expect that Wan Ruyan, who had vehemently refused to let him touch her after their wedding, had already been “handled” by some other man, making him, Gu Changshun, marry a secondhand woman.

Gu Changshun, furious and humiliated, demanded to know who Wan Ruyan’s lover was. Wan Ruyan never liked Gu Changshun, let alone took him seriously.

Last night, having been outwitted by Gu Changshun, Wan Ruyan felt disgusted all over. That damned Gu Changshun even dared to scheme against her behind her back?

“Speak, Wan Ruyan, you lowly woman, who is your adulterer? You slut, refusing to let me touch you, but how many other men have you secretly seduced? Dare to cuckold me? I’ll beat you to death.”

Gu Changshun continued to beat down on Wan Ruyan relentlessly, hitting hard. Wan Ruyan’s face was swollen from his blows, and that ignited her fury in full force.

She deliberately disgusted Gu Changshun.

“That’s right, Gu Changshun. Even if you had me last night, so what? I, Wan Ruyan, have already been with other men. What are you worth?”

Wan Ruyan’s words enraged Gu Changshun, his eyes red with fury.

So much effort spent in marrying a woman who’d been used by others. He, Gu Changshun, was a laughingstock, having brought home a ruined woman like Wan Ruyan.

Mrs. Zhang, hearing Wan Ruyan say that her first man was not her son, was livid with rage, her eyes seething green. That cursed Wan Ruyan, marrying into their Gu Family, had brought calamity upon them every day, even burning down their house, and now this lowly woman had been with other men?

Mrs. Zhang had been suppressed by Wan Ruyan for months, swallowing her resentment. She had long wanted to lash out, and now she would settle both new and old accounts. Mrs. Zhang furiously denounced Wan Ruyan for not keeping to the codes of womanhood and rushed forward to help her son beat Wan Ruyan.

“Wan Ruyan, you little wretch, you ruined woman. It turns out you’d been with countless men before marrying my son. No wonder you wouldn’t let my son touch you; you must’ve feared that your dirty little secrets would be exposed, right?”
