Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside Chapter 1600: Assault on the City, Lock Them Up

"What? Mrs. Xiao Jin is deceiving us?" The relatives couldn’t believe it and pointed at Ms. Xiao Ji, saying, "Mrs. Xiao Jin, tell us, are you using us? Will we really die after escaping the city?!"

Gu Jinli listened speechlessly and looked at those women, saying, "Still calling her Mrs. Xiao Jin? Do you not know the word ’bitch’? This bitch is using you. If you don’t believe it, you can go out of the city with her and see if the Rong people outside Xing’an Prefecture will kill you."

She couldn’t be bothered with this group of foolish women and directly said to Feng Jin, "Don’t just stand there. Drag Ms. Xiao Ji to the city tower and throw her to the Rong people. She looks pretty; the Rong people should like her."

"Yes." Feng Jin replied, and once again, led people to detain Ms. Xiao Ji, about to leave when Ji Zhenniang came out and said, "Wait, hold her down for me, lift her face up."

Feng Jin: "Do as she says."

Two subordinates followed the order.

Ji Zhenniang got into position and gave Ms. Xiao Ji four fierce slaps on the face, scolding, "These four slaps are for my Ji ancestors. How dare a prostitute like you bear the Ji name? You’ve utterly disgraced the Ji family. In your next life, your surname should be ’Chicken’, it suits you."

After hitting her, Ji Zhenniang triumphantly returned to Gu Jinli’s side, then, finding her ugly and smelly, quickly went to stand with Mrs. Han.

Ms. Xiao Ji was stunned by the beating and only started crying and shouting before Feng Jin and the others dragged her out of the front courtyard, "Don’t throw me to the Rong people! I’ll confess! I was indeed using the relatives, having them cause trouble for me so that you would recognize me as Company Commander Jin’s official wife, allowing me to receive an official wife’s treatment in the Northwest later!"

With Mrs. Jin not around, as long as she could gain the recognition of these Company Commanders’ wives and stand on equal footing with them, over time, others would believe her to be Company Commander Jin’s official wife.

After a few years with Company Commander Jin in the Northwest, once Mrs. Jin dies, she could naturally be elevated to the main chamber... Even if Mrs. Jin doesn’t die, as long as Gu Jinli and these Company Commanders’ wives acknowledge her status, she could be elevated to a secondary chamber or even become an equal wife!

Thinking of becoming an equal wife was a bit too much; Company Commander Jin wasn’t stupid and loved pretty women, who knows when he’d find another young and beautiful girl to enjoy, there’s no way he’d elevate her to an equal wife.

Gu Jinli, hearing this, laughed and said, "Did you all hear that? Ms. Xiao Ji, a concubine of slave status, is using you in this way. What are you waiting for? Show your fighting skills and beat her up!"

The relatives were already enraged. Hearing this, they were stunned, but Wang Dayou’s wife reacted first, shouting at them, "What are you waiting for? Go and beat that bitch! She’s not pregnant, so are you afraid of beating up Jin Family’s offspring?!"

She was the first to rush up and started scratching Ms. Xiao Ji.

"Bitch! A selling out servant dares to play us; my man is a small Section Leader. Do you really think you can run rampant because Mrs. Jin hasn’t come to the Northwest? Do you think Jin Family’s servants are blind and won’t write to inform Mrs. Jin about your deeds?!"

"Beat her, beat this bitch to death!" The relatives surged forward, pummeling Ms. Xiao Ji for a full quarter of an hour, scratching her face badly.

"Pah! Let’s see how you’ll use this face to seduce men in the future?" Wang Dayou’s wife, not wanting to cause a death, stopped everyone after giving Ms. Xiao Ji a good beating.

She then led everyone to apologize to Gu Jinli, "Mrs. Qin, we’re stupid for believing Ms. Xiao Ji’s words, causing you trouble at a time like this. Please don’t be mad; we’ll change."

Don’t kick us out, and don’t stop giving us meat.

Gu Jinli said, "You are indeed foolish, but much better than those Chief Commander wives who just watched the show."

Company Commander Jin brought two Chief Commanders along, so there were two Chief Commanders’ wives among the relatives. But even though they knew about Ms. Xiao Ji’s manipulation, they said nothing and just watched the drama unfold.

The two Chief Commanders’ wives were hiding behind the shadow wall in the front courtyard to watch in secret, and upon hearing this, they were scared half to death and quickly came out to apologize, "Mrs. Qin, please forgive us; it was our fault... But we had our hardships too. Ms. Xiao Ji is, after all, Company Commander Jin’s favored concubine, and we heard she was pregnant, so as subordinate wives, it wasn’t appropriate for us to intervene too boldly."

Gu Jinli laughed, "Are you saying this for me to hear? Implying I am meddling too much?"

"No, no!" The two Chief Commanders’ wives quickly denied it, but their words contained a hint of that meaning, after all, this was Company Commander Jin’s camp matter, and Mrs. Qin was Company Commander Qin’s wife.

Gu Jinli looked at them, then at the relatives present, and said, "First, it was Ms. Xiao Ji who schemed against me, so I took action against her. Second, since everyone is westbound together, and my Brother Qin is the leader of this westward army, as his wife, I have the right to manage you. If you don’t want me managing you, you can leave now and don’t stay with us."

She was never a good person; since these relatives ate her food and medicine and were under her care, to some extent, they had to listen to her. Otherwise, would she be taking care of them while catering to them?

"This is my final warning. I don’t need any ancestors. If you wish to travel westward with us and want to enjoy the benefits from my family, you must listen to me. Anyone who dares to cause trouble during wartime and create chaos, will die!" Gu Jinli finished speaking and shouted, "Did you hear me? If you did, give me a response!"

Gu Jinli’s words left the relatives trembling in fear, hastily replying, "...In response to Mrs. Qin, we heard."

Oh dear, Qin Gu is indeed a poisonous woman, she scared them to death.

Company Commander Qin really has it tough, living with a wife like this, his knees must be worn out from kneeling.

Gu Jinli, hearing this, nodded with satisfaction, then pointed at the Chief Commanders’ wives under Company Commander Jin’s command, and said, "Hold them down and give them ten strikes each."

And then to the relatives, she said, "It’s their first offense, so only ten strikes for now. But from today onwards, if any of you dare to make the same mistake, it won’t just be beatings; you’ll be kicked out of this team directly!"

She had no time to deal with these people daily; if they could get along, fine, if not, they should leave and not cause her trouble.

"Yes, yes..." The relatives responded while trembling, scared to death, thinking to themselves... Mrs. Qin must be unwell, right? Otherwise, why is she so fierce today?

However, since it was wartime and the Rong people besieged the city, it was only natural for Gu Jinli to make an example out of a few people to intimidate the relatives and prevent them from causing trouble during the war.

And her actions had a very effective result, scaring the relatives out of their wits.

Bang bang bang!

Erqing and the maids held down the two Chief Commanders’ wives, giving each of them ten strikes.

As for Ms. Xiao Ji, she was not beaten, but her fate was worse.

"Ms. Xiao Ji disrupted military morale during wartime and deserves to be sent to the government office for sentencing. But out of consideration for Company Commander Jin, she will not be referred to the authorities. Lock her up in the woodshed, and after the war ends, leave her for Company Commander Jin to deal with." Gu Jinli made the final decision.

Ms. Gao Lei witnessed this drama and nodded with satisfaction, "The Gu Family’s daughter is alright, not stupid."
