A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace

Although he had some academic talent and even passed the exams.

The inherent despicable nature belonging only to merchants did not diminish at all.

As for the upright spirit and noble character of scholars, he had none of those.

At this moment.

He was wearing a deep blue satin robe, sporting a rounded, plump belly, twisting a scarred brow, and glaring viciously at Lady Tang with his little sesame-like green bean eyes, his facial expression was ominously scary.

Because of Lady Tang, he suffered such a loss at the Prefectural Governor’s place.

The Prefectural Governor even announced that he must sever ties with his daughter, in order to safely leave the prison without suffering physical pain.

Old Master Tang was furious!

The Fourth Young Lady was now a big piece of fat meat, and an inexhaustible one at that.

To ask him to give up such a great benefit, to sever ties, was even more painful than cutting flesh from him.

Painful as it was, there was no way around it, who would dare offend a Prefectural Governor? Who could offend a Royal Uncle?

Could he afford to offend them? No! He couldn’t even voice a complaint, not even a peep.

He could only oblige with a smile to fulfill their requests.

So he was filled with anger!

If it wasn’t for Lady Tang being so harsh to the Fourth Young Lady, would she disown him as her father?

Actually, he himself had forgotten about this daughter, not to mention showed any fatherly affection.

But that didn’t matter, an official, a businessman, who cares about the inner courtyard affairs?

Isn’t it always managed by the Family Matriarch?

So he naturally felt justified in thinking that his daughter’s disowning him was Lady Tang’s fault.

It’s strange if he doesn’t hate her.

He not only hated, but even considered divorcing her.

Witnessing Lady Tang not admitting fault, and glaring fiercely at him.

Old Master Tang’s displeasure reached its peak.

He stretched out his plump hand, raised it high, and brought it down hard.

’Slap!’

’Slap slap!’

After delivering three slaps back and forth, he contentedly withdrew his hand.

”Wretch!”

”It’s all your doing!”

Lady Tang was stunned from the hits, and only after a while did she react, covering her face and glaring venomously at Old Master Tang.

”You...”

”How dare you hit me!”

”You actually hit me for that bitch’s daughter!”

She had enjoyed leisure in the backyard for half a life, never expected to face this day.

Old Master Tang was indulgent and lecherous, she didn’t care about his affairs, and he never made things difficult for her.

Those concubines were favored, yet none dared to surpass her.

So, how could she end up in today’s situation?

”You!”

Lady Tang pointed at Old Master Tang’s nose.

Before she could curse ’shameless’, she received another slap to the right cheek.

This one was harder than the previous ones.

Lady Tang, also known as Lady Zhu, was completely dazed.

Without thinking, in a heated moment, she rammed towards Old Master Tang.

”You hit me!”

”You might as well kill me, can’t live like this already!”

”I’m not living anymore, just kill me, kill me!”

The skull is one of the hardest parts of the body.

Lady Zhu used her own skull, aiming at Old Master Tang’s round and large belly, fiercely crashing into it.

”Pugh!”

Old Master Tang vomited out his overnight meal.

Moreover, there was blood mixed in with the foul contents.

Lady Zhu didn’t notice, nor did she care, she kept crazily crashing.

Old Master Tang’s plump body was rammed against the wallboard, neither able to hide nor escape, just being continuously hit.

He quickly fainted.

Only when his body limply fell did Lady Zhu realize something was amiss.

Ignoring the mess, she hurriedly called for someone to lift him, fetch a doctor, and so on.

After a frantic mess, night fell, darkness descended.

...

Fortunately, Old Master Tang had a resilient life, and luckily Lady Zhu, a woman, had limited strength.

He suffered only internal injuries and fainted, not serious, his life not threatened.

Lady Zhu sighed in complete relief after hearing this.

”That’s good, that’s good!”

At that time, she had no idea the kind of suffering she would endure in the future.

If she knew, she would surely regret it.

But then again, regret medicine doesn’t exist in this world, haha.

Prescribing, fetching medicine, decocting medicine, administering medicine, it was almost seamless.

Lady Zhu dared not leave, just stayed there all along.

Finally, in the second half of the night, Old Master Tang woke up.

Upon opening his eyes, the first sight he saw in the moonlight was Lady Zhu.

The crazy scene from the day quickly surfaced in his mind.

Old Master Tang was terrified, coughing violently twice, hastily getting up and retreating to the corner.

But thinking of the shadow the corner gave him, he dared not retreat, instead crawled towards the side of the bed.

Lady Tang, Lady Zhu hurriedly supported him.

”Master, Master, what’s wrong with you?”

”If you want water, just instruct me, why trouble yourself to do it personally!”

Old Master Tang gave her a chilly and somewhat fearful glance.

Thinking: Has she regained her senses?

Anyway, for the sake of survival, better stabilize the situation first!

So he didn’t speak, just lay quietly waiting for her to pour tea.

Lady Zhu diligently poured the tea and brought it over, then knelt before him to beg forgiveness.

”Master, it’s all my fault, I was temporarily confused by the stimulation!”

”Master, I’m kowtowing to apologize!”

She truly began to kowtow.

Old Master Tang coldly sneered in disbelief, but did not show it.

He calmly spoke a few consoling words, then lay back down to sleep again.

Lady Zhu felt uneasy inside, but seeing him not pressing charges, she was slightly relieved.

After covering him with a thin blanket, she quietly slipped out.

...

The next day.

Lady Zhu unwillingly woke up.

Or rather, was shaken awake by a maid.

”Madam, Madam, something terrible has happened!”

Lady Zhu turned over irritably.

”Slept late last night, don’t bother me, you handle it yourself!”

The maid still insisted, determined to get her up.

Lady Zhu was annoyed, she suddenly got up, beating and scolding the maid.

The maid, unable to bear it anymore, finally took a piece of paper from her bosom and threw it at her face.

Mockingly sneering.

”Madam, you better take a look!”

”Do you think you’re still someone, huh!”

Lady Zhu felt uneasy, picked up the paper and began to read.

Her father was a Scholar, so she could recognize some characters, reading wasn’t difficult.

At least, the first two big characters weren’t difficult at all.

”Divorce... Letter!”

”Divorce letter?!!”

Lady Zhu couldn’t believe it, she continued reading.

Based on her knowledge, after reading the paper, she confirmed its contents, indeed it was a divorce letter.

But confirmation was one thing, acceptance was another.

”Impossible!”

Her hands trembled, her face paled.

”Impossible, Master wouldn’t divorce me!”

”Even if I don’t have a son, I have a daughter!”

The maid smiled grimly.

”Among the three types of unfilial acts, having no heir is the worst. Madam, you’ve been married for so many years without bearing a son, Master has likely been dissatisfied for a long time!”
