Chapter 369 The Perfect Body

Jiang Mi and Huo Ran exchanged a glance, both ready to watch a good show.

Just then, Liang Lan poured a cup of tea and was about to come over when Jiang Mi grabbed her arm. She looked at Jiang Mi in shock, wanting to ask her why she was standing here with Huo Ran, especially since she seemed completely unaffected.

"Now is not the time to explain," Jiang Mi shushed her, telling her not to speak. The three of them hid behind the artificial hill, waiting to see what would happen.

Madam Liu then led the group over, feigning concern, with a doctor following behind her.

"This Miss Jiang is a distinguished guest of our Liu family. If anything happens to her in our residence, we certainly cannot ignore it. This doctor is the best doctor in our household. Miss Jiang, please stay in this room."

The person leading the way was Liu Zijun's personal maid. She nodded and respectfully said to Madam Liu, "That's right. Miss Jiang came to the room to rest by herself and it seems that she even chased away all the servants and wouldn't let anyone in."

“This…” Madam Liu feigned concern, “Why aren’t you letting her in yet? She’s all alone here, who will take care of her? You’ve really been too negligent.”

Zhao Zhilan was very clever. She could tell from the expressions on the maid's and Madam Liu's faces that something was wrong. She immediately continued, "She's all alone in there? There's not even anyone serving her. Could she be doing something shady?"

Su Yindi was eager to go in, and upon hearing this, she said unhappily, "What nonsense are you talking about? My honey was accompanied by my second sister-in-law. How could she be alone? What can she do? You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

Zhao Zhilan said disdainfully, "I thought it was someone else speaking. It turns out to be the wife of a lowly seventh-rank official. She's your sister, so naturally you have to cover for her."

"What cover? What's the point of covering?" Su Yindi didn't understand Zhao Zhilan's meaning. She saw that all the young ladies around her were smiling strangely, while only Princess Jinning looked worried.

Madam Liu coughed and said, "Alright, Miss Jiang isn't feeling well, yet you're all laughing so happily. Anyone who didn't know better would think Miss Jiang has a bad character. Let's go see what's wrong."

Princess Jinning frowned and said, "It's fine for us women to go in, but shouldn't these men stay outside?"

Madam Liu was determined to humiliate Jiang Mi so badly that she would never be able to hold her head up again. That's why she brought all the male guests along. It's a pity that Huo Ran was nowhere to be seen and didn't witness this scene.

But time waits for no one, and she couldn't delay any longer, so she had the male guests wait outside while she led her female relatives inside.

"Open the door."

The maid opened the door, and Madam Liu went in first. Zhao Zhilan and the others watched from behind, their faces full of excitement, as if they were eagerly anticipating something that would happen inside.

"Oh my goodness, this is quite an eyesore!" Madam Liu saw two people lying on the bed, their faces obscured, but their clothes were disheveled, and she immediately assumed it was Jiang Mi.

Zhao Zhilan also said excitedly, "Oh dear, this country woman just doesn't know the rules. How could she roll around in bed with a man? She's shameless and has no regard for her reputation!"

The girls who came in all saw it, and they all quickly covered their eyes, after all, there was a man there, and it was so disgusting to look at.

Su Yindi frowned, feeling that the person on the bed didn't seem like Jiang Mi. Jiang Mi's figure was much better than this woman's, and this man was fat and ugly. There was no way Jiang Mi would be interested in him.

Princess Jinning also found it strange. She boldly stepped forward, turned the woman over, and Liu Zijun's face was revealed. She smiled coldly and said to the crowd, "Stop gloating. Look who this is."

Everyone was still wondering who else could be here besides Jiang Mi. Just as they were about to go forward to take a look, Jiang Mi and Liang Lan suddenly appeared outside and asked everyone curiously, "It's so lively here, what happened?"

Upon hearing Jiang Mi's voice, everyone turned to look at her in disbelief, especially Madam Liu and Zhao Zhilan. Wasn't Jiang Mi sleeping with a man inside? Why was she standing outside the door? Who was that person on the bed?

Everyone looked over in confusion, just in time to see Liu Zijun wake up. She was disheveled, her face full of bewilderment, and she knew nothing about what had happened.

A collective gasp of shock rippled through the crowd. No one had expected that Liu Zijun would actually sleep with the illegitimate son of the Vice Minister of Rites!

Madam Liu nearly fainted, her vision blurred, but she was supported by her maids and servants. She couldn't accept that her daughter, whom she had raised with such care, was now in a man's bed, and that everyone had seen her like that.

Zhao Zhilan was also surprised, but after the initial surprise, she immediately understood what was going on. Wasn't this a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead? Even if it wasn't Jiang Mi, it would be fine if it was Liu Zijun. Anyway, she hated both of them, and she would be happy if either of them suffered.

Liu Zijun always acted superior to her, but I never expected this day to come. It's truly gratifying!

"Get out, all of you, get out!"

Madam Liu came to her senses and told everyone to leave. The maids and servants began to chase people away. The young ladies were all excited by the spectacle. Even if it wasn't Jiang Mi inside, it didn't matter. As long as it wasn't them, they were happy to watch the show.

Liu Zijun also came to her senses at this moment. She glanced around at the situation and felt a chill in her heart, realizing that something was wrong.

"Mother, Mother, what happened? Why am I here?"

Looking at the man lying beside her, she couldn't accept it. Wasn't this the man she had sent to harm Jiang Mi? Why was he in bed with her? What had happened? Where had Jiang Mi gone?

Madam Liu turned around and slapped the maid hard, angrily scolding, "This is all your doing! Tell me, did someone instruct you to do this?"

The maid, knocked to the ground, covered her face and said aggrievedly, "It wasn't me, Madam. It was Miss who said she'd use the sound of breaking a cup inside as a signal. As soon as she heard the sound of a cup shattering, she'd tell me to come find Madam and catch them in the act..."

When she said the last two words, Madam Liu's expression turned fierce. She glared at the maid and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Then tell me why Jiang Mi is not in this room."

Liu Zijun realized something at this moment. She had originally intended to harm Jiang Mi, but unexpectedly, she had harmed herself instead. She burst into tears and hugged Madam Liu in fear, saying, "Mother, what should I do? I think I made a mistake. Why am I here? What is going on?"

This is when Jiang Zhihai, the son of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, slowly woke up. He looked at the Prime Minister's daughter, who was crying with tears streaming down her face, and Madam Liu, who was looking at him with murderous eyes. He was completely bewildered.

"Don't tell anyone about what happened today, or else..."

Madam Liu's words came to an abrupt halt. Even if Jiang Zhihai didn't tell anyone, what could he do? Everyone outside had seen it with their own eyes. Could she really silence the gossip? She couldn't very well kill all of them, could she?

Jiang Zhihai didn't know what was going on. Just a moment ago, the beautiful woman was lying here. How did it become Liu Zijun? But it's fine. Although Liu Zijun is not as beautiful as Jiang Mi, she is the daughter of the prime minister. If he could become the son-in-law of the prime minister's family, wouldn't he be able to save himself decades of hard work? This is what it means to rise to the top in one step.

"Don't worry, Madam. No matter what, I will take responsibility for Miss."

"Get out! Get out of here! Don't tell anyone about what happened today. This isn't over!"

Madam Liu roared angrily. Of course, she could see through Jiang Zhihai's ulterior motives. So many people had seen it, and Liu Zijun's reputation was ruined. Even if she didn't marry Jiang Zhihai, no one would be willing to marry her, unless someone only wanted the Prime Minister's background and power. If that was the case, it would be difficult for that person to treat Liu Zijun well, and they didn't know if they could protect Liu Zijun for a lifetime.

"My daughter, why is your life so miserable? It's all my fault. If I hadn't given you that terrible idea, you wouldn't be like this..."

Madam Liu was filled with regret, but it was too late. Things had already come to this point, and even if Jiang Zhihai hadn't done anything to Liu Zijun, others might not believe it.

"Good daughter, think carefully, why did you come to this bed? Weren't you outside before?"

Liu Zijun gradually calmed down. She recalled for a moment and said, "I think I told Wan'er that I would go in and take a look first, and then use the sound of the glass breaking as a signal. If she heard the sound of the glass breaking, she would come to find you immediately. But after I came in, I don't think I saw anything, and then... then I don't remember."

"Don't you remember? How could you not remember? Think again!" Madam Liu was very anxious. Once she found the person who framed her daughter, she would definitely tear that person to pieces!

Liu Zijun shook her head and cried, "I can't remember, my head hurts so much!"

Seeing her daughter like this, Madam Liu felt heartbroken: "Alright, alright, don't think about your headache anymore. Let's go back and rest. Wan'er, go and tell the people outside that today was all a misunderstanding, and tell them not to tell anyone."

Wan'er lowered her head and replied, "Yes," but who would listen? There were so many people; even if someone told others, no one would know who it was.

Madam Liu knew this, so she first sent Liu Zijun back to her room, and then had the doctor take her pulse carefully. The doctor only said that the young lady had been frightened, but there was no injury.

Upon hearing the news, Prime Minister Liu rushed over. Madam Liu, with tears in her eyes, said, "Even if my Zijun is still a virgin, who would believe it?"
