The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich

Chapter 1859: Why

Second Brother Hu couldn’t figure out what went wrong, which made the Crown Prince believe that he was slandering Princess Guguo.

But whether it was slander or not, he could not admit it.

Otherwise, it was not a matter of forgiveness but whether or not he could keep his life.

According to that noble’s request, he only needed to expose that the Lin Real Estate Construction Company was Lin Yuelan’s property. As for the other problems, he would settle them.

However, he only realized now that ever since he exposed the fact that the Lin Group’s real estate company was Lin Yuelan’s property, that benefactor had never appeared. Even though he was repeatedly questioned by Lin Yuelan and the others, he still did not appear.

Boss Hu and the others seemed to be in a tense state. It would be more accurate to say that they were like frightened birds.

Upon hearing the Crown Prince’s order, he trembled in panic, and his face turned pale. Then, he kowtowed and said,” I obey!”

Then, with a face full of despair and heartache, Boss Hu said to Second Brother Hu,” Second Brother, don’t you understand?”

Second Brother Hu was confused and asked subconsciously, “Big Brother, I… What don’t I understand?”

He didn’t know if he really didn’t understand or if he was pretending not to understand, but Boss Hu’s current task was to let Second Brother Hu understand.

Boss Hu sighed heavily and said,” Second Brother, the reason we gave to slander the princess is simply not valid!”

Second Brother Hu asked in confusion and disbelief again,” Big Brother, what do you mean? Didn’t she deduct our wages and bonuses?”

Hearing Second Brother Hu’s words, Boss Hu glared at him with a look of disappointment and said loudly,” Second Brother, why are you so stubborn? Even now, you’re still persistent. Don’t you know that we lost from the beginning?”

“What?” Second Brother Hu almost jumped up in shock. He said in disbelief,” Impossible, this is impossible. Big Brother, don’t be soft-hearted! Once you soften your heart, we won’t be able to be high officials anymore. If we can’t become officials, do we still have to return to Hu Village?”

“Pa!”

Boss Hu was so angry with Second Brother Hu that his lungs and liver were hurting. In the end, he couldn’t take it anymore and gave Second Brother Hu a big slap. He shouted angrily,” Second Brother Hu, wake up. Don’t dream of being a high official. Let alone being an official, we don’t even know if our brothers can survive! Slandering the princess of Guguo, how big of a crime is this? Don’t you know? I think you’re possessed. Oh, no, we’re both possessed.”

At this point, he was filled with guilt and regret. He said tearfully,” We’ve let Princess Gu down. We’ve let Princess Gu down. I’m sorry, Princess Guguo. Back then, we were blinded by greed and did something that let you down. Princess Guguo, I don’t dare to hope that you can forgive us five brothers, but I still want to ask for your forgiveness. Again, I’m sorry!”

As soon as Boss Hu finished speaking, Second Brother Hu looked at Boss Hu in disbelief and said loudly, “Big Brother, you… How could you do this? We… Aren’t we…” He just admitted to the crime. That won’t do.

“Shut up!” Boss Hu shouted sternly,” Second Brother Hu, returning home in glory may be glorious, but we can’t be heartless. The wealth of the five of us is increasing year by year, and our lives are getting richer and more enjoyable. Who brought this to us? It’s Princess Gu!”

“But that’s what we earned by working like cows and horses!” Second Brother Hu shouted loudly.

“Weren’t we working like cows and horses four years ago?” Boss Hu shouted sharply,” The work we did four years ago was much more tiring and difficult than now, but the pay was pitifully low. It was only enough to feed a family!

“Now, we don’t have to worry about food and clothing. We’ve already lived a good life, but we’ve become even greedier. Such greed made us betray our conscience and become ungrateful people, betraying our former nobles. The princess of Guguo is such a rich woman. Why would she covet our little money? Second brother, do you still think that the princess of the Guguo is greedy for our little bit of dividends?”

At this point, he closed his eyes and then opened them again. The expression on his face had already become firm.

As soon as Boss Hu finished speaking, Third Brother Hu echoed,” Second Brother, don’t be stubborn, okay? Without Princess Gu, we wouldn’t be where we are today.”

“That’s right, second brother. Let’s not argue anymore. Moreover, the truth is already in front of us. No matter how we sue and quibble, it’s useless. Second Brother, we… Let’s just confess our guilt!” Fourth Brother Hu and Fifth Brother Hu joined in the persuasion.

“We have lost our loyalty and righteousness, but we cannot lose our conscience!” Third Brother Hu said.

The four brothers went up to persuade him. Second Brother Hu went from rebuttal to silence. His face became paler and paler. His lips trembled, and regret slowly appeared in his eyes.

His big brother and the others were right. They had become greedy, but because of their greed, they had betrayed their conscience.

Four years ago, they had been working as cows and horses. The work they had done was even harder and tiring, but they still lived a poor life.

But now, he had a lot of money and a life of luxury. Instead, he wanted more and more, and he was doing things that betrayed his conscience.

Second Brother Hu opened his mouth, and then his eyelids rolled back, and he fainted!

“Second Brother!”

“Second brother!”

The five brothers cried out in shock.

After Second Brother Hu fainted, the four brothers of the Hu Family told him everything under the interrogation of the Crown Prince.

In the end, they said,” Your Highness, Princess Guguo, this is what happened. Because of the temptation of the official position, we agreed to it and then did such an unforgivable thing!”

The Crown Prince sneered.” What you’ve done is not only unforgivable but also a crime of beheading! Boss Hu, you brothers are really bold!”

Boss Hu and the others kowtowed to the ground, not daring to raise their heads. They kept saying,” We brothers know our mistakes. Please show mercy, Your Highness!”

The Crown Prince said,” Whether or not to show mercy is up to Father to decide!”

At this point, he paused for a moment and asked sternly,” You said that the reason why you did such a wrong thing was because someone promised to tempt you, right?”

“Yes, crown prince!”

“Who is that?”
