Huo Jiwen was still coaxing Shi Lingqiao in the private room, but the previous incident had already spread outside.

This was naturally orchestrated by the Qiao family and Qingyou.

Qingyou had already arranged for someone to be at the teahouse, and then went to join in the fun and see what was happening in the private room.

Afterwards, she vividly described the erotic scenes in the private room to everyone she met.

Soon, this matter became the hottest gossip in Beijing.

"Have you heard? The heir of the Duke's mansion was caught having an affair with Miss Shi at a teahouse, and his fiancée's mother led a group of people to catch them in the act."

"I heard about it, and I even saw it with my own eyes. Madam Qiao's maid kicked open the door, and the two inside were making out passionately. Their clothes were disheveled, and they were in such a hurry. If they had waited any longer, they probably would have already become husband and wife."

"These two are so uncouth! That's a teahouse! They're an eyesore and an earworm."

"People used to say that Young Master Huo was both a scholar and a warrior, and a man of integrity and virtue. I never expected that he would act like he had never seen a woman before, so eager to have sex with someone in the teahouse."

"This is exciting! Maybe Young Master Huo likes this kind of thing."

“Even a playboy like me wouldn’t do something like having an affair with a woman in a teahouse. Young Master Huo really knows how to play the game. I’m completely outmatched.”

“My dad used to use Huo Shizi to educate me, telling me to learn from him. Today I’m going to go back and ask him if he wants me to seek thrills like him.”

"Then your dad will definitely break your legs."

"If the Duke were still alive, he probably wouldn't be able to resist breaking Young Master Huo's legs."

"That woman from the Shi family is shameless; she actually had an affair with Young Master Huo without any matchmaker."

"For a merchant's daughter to be able to get close to the heir of the Duke's mansion, she would have to use every means to seduce him. If she could get into the Duke's mansion, the Shi family would also rise to prominence."

"I heard that Madam Qiao called the Shi family's young lady a vixen, and Young Master Huo was unhappy and talked back to his aunt."

"Not only that, but Young Master Huo directly told his fiancée's mother, his own aunt, that he liked Shi Lingqiao."

"Yes, Madam Qiao angrily told Young Master Huo to never acknowledge her as his aunt again. Young Master Huo didn't even chase after her to apologize; he stayed in the private room with Miss Shi and continued their conversation."

"I never expected that Prince Huo would be this kind of person."

"Is that Shi Lingqiao really that beautiful? She actually managed to seduce the young master Huo, causing him to disregard human ethics and refuse to acknowledge his own aunt in order to be with her."

"Could it be that this Shi Ling happens to possess a beauty that could topple kingdoms?"

"I've seen her twice. She often goes to the newly opened pharmacy in Shijiazhuang. She's pretty, but nothing special. She's far from being a beauty that could topple kingdoms."

"Besides, what kind of beauties hasn't Prince Huo seen? Of course, there must be some special means to seduce him into doing such a thing."

"That Miss Shi is really something. I wonder if she will be able to be carried into the Duke's mansion smoothly after what happened today."

"It's probably not going to be easy. She did something so shameless, the princess probably won't agree to let her in."

“But Young Master Huo likes it! The Princess dotes on him so much, and as a mother, I often find that her sons are no longer under her control once they grow up. I think that given how much Young Master Huo likes Miss Shi, he will definitely ask the Princess for permission.”

"If she were carried in, having such a vixen as a concubine would be too much of a nightmare for the future wife of the heir."

"After such a shameless thing happened, what noble lady would dare to marry Prince Huo in the future?"

"Yes, daughters from good families would not actively seek marriage with the Duke's family so that they wouldn't be mistreated."

In everyone's fixed mindset, no one ever thought that Shi Lingqiao could marry into the Duke's mansion and become the heir apparent's wife. After such an incident, it was her good fortune to become a concubine.

This matter became known not only to the powerful and wealthy, but also to ordinary people, who all used it as gossip.

When the ladies of the powerful and wealthy heard about it, they all looked down on and despised Shi Lingqiao, such a shameless woman, and also developed a sense of disgust towards Huo Jiwen.

Most men didn't think much of Huo Jiwen's liking for a merchant's daughter.

There's nothing wrong with a young man being a playboy, but going to a teahouse to have an affair, being caught in the act by his fiancée's mother, and making a scene that the whole capital knows about, turning him into a laughingstock, is simply outrageous and shameful.

If you like her, just bring her in and take her as a beautiful concubine. Why make such a fuss?

They used to think Huo Jiwen was quite steady and intelligent, so how could he make such a stupid mistake?

The emperor and empress dowager soon learned of this matter.

The Empress Dowager was furious, but she was more worried about her daughter, so she sent her personal maid to the Duke's mansion to visit and comfort her.

The emperor was also angry and couldn't help but feel even more disappointed in his nephew, Huo Jiwen.

He had just reprimanded the man in the palace a few days ago, but his nephew had caused such a disgraceful incident today, completely ignoring his words.

He even dragged his sister down with him, it's outrageous.

The Duke's Mansion.

After hearing the news outside, Qingyou was so happy that she could eat two extra bowls of rice.

The fact that the rumors spread so quickly and thoroughly shows that she kept her achievements hidden.

Huo Tong went home, took the marriage certificate, and went to the Duke's mansion.

Upon entering the house, she saw that her sister-in-law looked haggard and pale, so she went over and sat down beside her.

He held Qingyou's hand worriedly, "Sister-in-law, are you alright?"

Qingyou gave her a forced smile. "I'm fine."

"I never expected that scoundrel Ji Wen would do something so shameless in a teahouse."

Mentioning this, Huo Tong was also quite angry, "I didn't expect this either."

She led a group of people to catch the two having an affair. She originally thought they were chatting in a private room, but who would have thought they would be so shameless.
