Li Yunwu sobbed as she walked to Madam Ye, turning back every few steps, as if she were very reluctant to part with her older sister, Li Yunyan.
Li Yunyan was a little annoyed. Why not just kill them all?
The moment the thought crossed her mind, the system screamed in her head: [No! No! Host, please do not bring your apocalyptic mindset into this small world. Here, killing someone is punishable by death! Please prioritize completing the mission!]
Oh right! She's going to have another baby!
Forget it! Solving the immediate problem is more important!
Li Yunyan looked up at Madam Ye, who was questioning her, and said, "Madam Ye, as the head mistress of the Zhongshuling Mansion, a guest was framed in your mansion. Instead of comforting the victim and investigating the cause of the incident, you are here questioning people. Is this how the Zhongshuling Mansion treats its guests?"
Madam Ye was somewhat stunned by her barrage of questions. This Li Yunyan had always been obsequious and ingratiating in front of her, and had never spoken to her so loudly before. If Madam Ye glared at her even slightly, Li Yunyan wouldn't dare to lift her head.
Today she actually dared to contradict me like this; it seems all my previous caution was just an act!
This is absolutely outrageous!
"Outrageous! Li Yunyan, you have committed such a shameless act in my mansion, and now you want to turn the tables and pin the blame on me! A woman as disgraced and shameless as you is not worthy of marrying into my family!"
If it were any other woman, she would definitely be too ashamed to lift her head when scolded like that by her fiancé's mother.
But Li Yunyan ignored the insult in her words and calmly replied, "Does Madam Ye not want to admit that she has mismanaged the business?"
"I am upright and honest, and I will not tolerate your slander!"
"Then let's report it to the authorities!"
"What did you say?" Madam Ye's eyes were filled with disbelief.
When such a thing happens to a woman, she usually cries and sobs, and she doesn't want to air her dirty laundry in public. She's too busy hiding it to even think about reporting it to the authorities.
I said I'd report it to the authorities!
Li Yunyan's expression remained calm and composed. "Since Madam Ye doesn't believe I was framed, then I have no choice but to report this to the authorities and prove my innocence!"
Madam Ye raised her hand, pointed at the bed sheet behind her, her expression twisted: "After all this, you still have the nerve to say you're innocent?"
Li Yunyan stood up, her presence, even more imposing than Madam Ye's elaborate attire, despite being draped in a blanket.
She walked step by step to Madam Ye, "Before I entered your residence today, I was still a pure and innocent young woman. Now that I have lost my virginity, shouldn't Madam Ye give me an explanation?"
Madam Ye felt as if she had heard a fairy tale. "What a joke! You two adulterers, having illicit relations in my mansion, and you expect me to give you an explanation!"
"presumptuous!"
This deep voice was shouted by Hua Weixin.
Madam Ye paused, realizing that this "adulterer" was a first-rank military commander in the court, a higher rank than her husband.
He holds most of the military power in the court and has been friends with the current emperor since childhood. He is said to be selfish, ruthless, and a mass murderer, a figure feared by all.
The fact that he was able to attend his own birthday banquet today was out of respect for his husband, which made the Grand Secretary's residence look very prestigious.
She couldn't afford to offend this person.
Madam Ye was stunned by his imposing roar and fell silent for a moment.
Li Yunyan, however, refused to let it go so easily.
She turned to face Hua Weixin and said calmly, "Although today's events are a fait accompli, we must seek the truth. Although both Mr. Hua and I were framed, others are unaware of this. My reputation is one thing, but Mr. Hua's reputation cannot be so tarnished."
She imitated the gesture she had seen in the drama and bowed to Hua Weixin: "Young Master Hua, please report this to the authorities and find out the truth!"
The ladies present were shaken. Li Yunyan's insistence on reporting to the authorities suggested that there was more to the story.
That makes sense, even the most shameless woman wouldn't choose to meet a man in someone else's residence.
The security level is far too low!
Hua Weixin helped Li Yunyan up, his voice no longer as authoritative as before, but soft and gentle: "Miss Yunyan has been wronged today. Another day, I will definitely bring her into the house with a grand procession and make sure she doesn't suffer any more grievances."
"I will thoroughly investigate today's events, and if I find anyone who interfered, I will not tolerate it!"
“Furthermore,” he emphasized, “Miss Yunyan is pure and virtuous; your reputation is more important than mine!”
His eyes held disapproval, as if refuting her earlier self-deprecating remarks.
Feeling protected by his words, Li Yunyan smiled warmly at him.
The ladies who were watching instantly transformed from "witnesses to catching adulterers" into onlookers.
The Grand Marshal's words just now indicate that he is taking responsibility for Li Yunyan!
Rumor has it that this Grand Marshal of the Army is never interested in women and has rejected many marriage proposals in the past, including the current Emperor's sister, "Princess Changyue"!
Many people gossiped privately, saying that the marshal was over twenty and still unmarried, perhaps because he had a physical ailment or some kind of shameful fetish.
Unexpectedly, this happened today. Judging from the state of the bed, it's impossible for her to be ill. Her special fetish has also been exposed. It has shown them how steel can be turned into softness.
So the reason the marshal had refused to get married before wasn't anything else, but simply because the other woman wasn't beautiful enough?
Hua Weixin blew a whistle outside, and his personal guards, upon hearing it, immediately flew in from outside the mansion.
