Chapter 112: Suffering the consequences

When I opened the door, I saw Lu Jingyun and a woman lying on the bed, their clothes in disarray.

When Ji Ruzhen saw this scene, she was shocked. She couldn't believe it was real and almost fell backwards.

"Madam!" The accompanying maid hurriedly supported her upon seeing this.

Ji Ruzhen tried to stand firmly and tried to move forward, but she found it difficult to take a step.

The ladies who had come along saw this scene and immediately started to discuss it. "The Prime Minister's daughter is marrying the newly crowned number one scholar, which is a step down from her previous marriage. It's been less than a year since they got married, so how could this number one scholar, Lu, be involved with someone else?"

"Your Ji Ruzhen looks so angry that she almost fainted..."

"Who on earth is this shameless bitch who dares to seduce Lu Zhuangyuan in Princess Anyang's mansion?"

"Won't Ji Ruzhen tear him apart?"

Mrs. Wang followed closely and said without even looking, "Besides Lu Zhuangyuan, it seems that Song Chunzhi was also absent from the banquet. I heard that Song Chunzhi and Lu Zhuangyuan are still in love..."

Mrs. Wang's words were like a hook, arousing everyone's curiosity.

It would be interesting if the future Princess Chang'an got involved with the married man Lu Zhuangyuan and was caught in public.

"Lu Jingyun!" Ji Ruzhen was already struggling to stand. After hearing the crowd's discussions, she was furious. She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she rushed forward...

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang smiled triumphantly.

Ji Ruzhen frantically pulled the woman off the bed.

The ladies who followed behind peeked in and exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this Wang Yiyue, the sixth daughter of the Wang family?"

Mrs. Wang's smile froze instantly.

Wang Yiyue woke up in pain after being knocked to the ground by Ji Ruzhen. Ji Ruzhen slapped Wang Yiyue twice and asked her to delete more.

Wang Yiyue turned over and started wrestling with Ji Ruzhen.

The two ladies slapped each other and threw all etiquette and decency out of the window.

Everyone outside the door was stunned.

Mrs. Wang never thought that the person sleeping with Lu Jingyun would be her own daughter. She had made a very thorough plan to make Song Chunzhi and Lu Jingyun do something shameful in public and ruin her marriage to Prince Chang'an!

How could her daughter and Lu Jingyun be lying in the same bed?

Mrs. Wang was stunned for a while before she reacted and rushed forward to stop Ji Ruzhen.

Ji Ruzhen was so crazy at this moment that even the mother and daughter of the Wang family together could not beat her.

The ladies outside the door hadn't seen such a scene for many years. They all watched the fun and no one stepped forward to stop it.

It was only after Princess Anyang arrived that she saw the situation was getting too ugly, so she asked her maids to pull Ji Ruzhen and the Wang mother and daughter apart.

Wang Yiyue's face was swollen and scratched by Ji Ruzhen.

Mrs. Wang was also hit several times, and both mother and daughter were in a miserable state.

Ji Ruzhen hit someone and was beaten in return. Her clothes were torn. She cried and said, "Princess, Wang Yiyue used your flower viewing banquet to seduce my husband. You must take action for me."

Huo Qionghua couldn't help laughing when she saw the three of them looking miserable with bruised faces and torn hair.

But she was the owner of the princess's mansion and the host of the flower viewing banquet. She absolutely could not laugh out loud at this moment. She could only suppress her laughter and ask everyone, "What on earth is going on?"

Lady Cao came over and told the princess, "The maid who brought Miss Song here to change clothes was knocked unconscious and dragged into the bushes. Miss Wang's maid was also knocked unconscious and fell outside the window..."

Huo Qionghua asked, "Why is Mr. Lu here?"

Moreover, Ji Ruzhen and Wang Yiyue had fought like that just now, but Lu Jingyun on the couch had not woken up at all.

No one knows why Lu Jingyun is here.

Wang Yiyue, the only one who knew about the situation, lay in Madam Wang's arms and cried, "Mother..."

Mrs. Wang's hairpins had fallen off, her hair was in disarray, and she no longer looked like a Grand Tutor's wife.

The spectators around were eagerly waiting to see the excitement.

Huo Qionghua coughed lightly and ordered Lady Cao: "Wake up Lu Jingyun first!"

"Yes!" Lady Cao responded and asked someone to bring water to wake Lu Jingyun up.

A basin of water was poured on Lu Jingyun's face, and Lu Jingyun woke up suddenly.

His face was still abnormally flushed, and he sat up suddenly, only to find countless eyes staring at him.

These were the ladies at the banquet, the people who were best at spreading gossip in the entire capital.

Everyone looked at him as if they had seen a shocking secret.

Lu Jingyun was extremely flustered and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He saw Ji Ruzhen crying and the mother and daughter of the Wang family who were in a mess. A few steps away were Lady Cao and Princess Anyang.

Lu Jingyun didn't know how things turned out like this, as he was just talking to Chunzhi.

I don't know why, but suddenly my eyes went dark and I fainted.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in this situation.

Huo Qionghua said in a deep voice, "Lu Jingyun, you have committed such an obscene act in my palace. Do you acknowledge your guilt?"

"Princess, calm down!" Lu Jingyun was startled and immediately rolled off the bed, kneeling in front of Princess Anyang. "I just drank too much and came out to get some fresh air. I don't know what happened..."

"You don't know what happened?" Ji Ruzhen cried, "You even rolled into the same bed with Wang Yiyue, and you still say you don't know what happened?"

Ji Ruzhen wanted to tear Lu Jingyun's face to pieces, but she had already used up all her strength in the fight with the mother and daughter of the Wang family. Now she could not even stand up and could only sit on the ground, gasping for breath and crying.

"lady--"

Lu Jingyun wanted to explain, but he couldn't explain it clearly.

He came here chasing Chunzhi, and he didn't dare let outsiders know what he said to Chunzhi.

Huo Qionghua looked at the people in front of him with great interest and asked Lady Cao to wake up the two unconscious maids.

The two maids woke up one by one.

Huo Qionghua first asked the maid in her own house, "I asked you to bring Miss Song here to change clothes. Where is Miss Song?"

The maid touched her head, which had been beaten to a big bump, and knelt down and said, "In reply to the Princess, I brought Miss Song here to change her clothes. Miss Song wanted to change her clothes by herself, so I waited outside. But Lu Zhuangyuan somehow followed us and insisted on going in to see Miss Song. When I tried to stop him, he knocked me unconscious..."

After the maid fell into a coma, she didn't know anything else.

Huo Qionghua turned to ask Wang Yiyue's maid, "What about you? You were fine, why did you faint outside the window?"

Wang Yiyue's maid knelt on the ground, trembling with fear, "This servant, this servant, I don't know anything..."

"You won't tell me, right?" Huo Qionghua said in a normal tone, "If you don't tell me, I'll drag you out and beat you to death."

The servant was frightened to death and cried out in shock, "Princess!"

"Let me tell you, Auntie..."

Haruji's voice came from outside the crowd.

Everyone turned around to look at what was said, and they simultaneously made way for her. Chunzhi slowly stepped inside and looked down at Wang Yiyue. "Wang Liuniang, how does it feel to suffer the consequences of your own actions?"
