She said that her four good sons were drinking in the Dancer's Building and were very drunk, so she had to go and pick them up personally.
"Uh...Butler, could this person be mistaken?"
Jiang Mianmian looked at the housekeeper suspiciously, muttering to himself:
"You know, it's okay for others to go to places like that, but the eldest and third child in her family have always been people of good character and respect for etiquette. How could they possibly set foot in such a place?"
So when she first heard the news, she thought it was absurd and even suspected that someone was deliberately playing a prank on her.
Jiang Mianmian shook her head and laughed, feeling that scammers these days are becoming more and more daring, even daring to deceive people in their mansion.
Seeing Jiang Mianmian's reaction, the housekeeper at the side, who was originally a little unsure, suddenly calmed down. After thinking about it carefully, he also felt that there was something strange about this matter.
Judging from the way the eldest and third young masters behave in daily life, it is indeed unlikely that they would do such a ridiculous thing.
So the butler bowed respectfully to Jiang Mianmian and retreated silently. He wanted to give the visitor a good scolding.
At this moment, Zhou Jingyao, who was about to say something but hesitated, saw Jiang Mianmian waving at the housekeeper, signaling him not to say anything more and asking him to leave.
Zhou Jingyao opened her mouth, but had to swallow the words back helplessly, and in the end she couldn't say anything!
At the same time, in another courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion - the Cherry Blossom Courtyard, Li Tingxue was leisurely pruning the branches of flowers.
Suddenly, her personal maid, Lily, ran in in a panic, panting, "Madam, something's wrong!
"I just got a message from the housekeeper saying that the eldest young master got drunk in Zuixianglou outside, and asked you to take a few more servants to pick him up quickly. I heard that there are four people in their group." Lily said breathlessly.
When Li Tingxue heard Lily's words, the scissors in her hand fell to the ground with a "click". She was stunned on the spot as if struck by lightning. Her face was full of disbelief and she simply couldn't believe what she heard.
She could never have imagined that her husband, who had been married for many years and had always been steady and self-possessed, would one day go behind her back to... a place of entertainment like a brothel. This news was undoubtedly a bombshell to her.
Anger and shame intertwined, making Li Tingxue's face look extremely ugly. She gritted her teeth, suppressed the rage in her heart, and without saying a word, she hurried towards Songheyuan with a group of maids and servants.
On this side, Jiang Mianmian was leisurely drinking tea and chatting with Zhou Jingyao, when she suddenly heard a hurried sound of footsteps coming from afar.
Then, Li Tingxue rushed into the yard, her face full of grievance as she asked, "Mother, did you also hear from the housekeeper that my husband...got drunk in the brothel? What...what's going on?"
Jiang Mianmian was stunned at first by Li Tingxue's grievances, but then she understood why she had come. She couldn't help but smile and shook her head, thinking that this matter was really getting worse and worse.
[Uh, I didn't expect the butler to be so quick today. He actually notified all the masters of our mansion. What a fool of my eldest daughter-in-law! Didn't I just tell the butler that the person who sent the letter must be a liar?]
[Humph, you're trying to trick me? No way! Even with this lame excuse, I saw through it instantly! Those damned liars didn't even bother to find out. The fourth brother is still far away!]
"There are only three of them in the capital right now. How could I suddenly have a fourth son? This is a blatant lie!"
Li Tingxue instantly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved. "Yeah, how could I have forgotten about this? I was so concerned that I almost got into trouble!"
Then, the butler came in again, bringing with him a man who came to take a breath. That man insisted that the drunk man said he was the young master of the Marquis' Mansion and asked him to come to the Marquis' Mansion to notify and pick him up!
He didn't want to come in the first place, but the man gave him too much, and he couldn't leave now without risking being beaten!
After hearing what this person said, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but believe it. She raised her head and slowly glanced at Li Tingxue and Zhou Jingyao, and a trace of worry rose in her heart.
【Oh, but it’s true! 】
[But, thinking about it carefully...it doesn't seem fake. Could it be true...?]
[Could it be that one of them drank prostitute wine, and someone got drunk and accidentally provoked a woman? If that's the case, then we're in big trouble!]
[You know, one is a ready-made daughter-in-law who has already married into the Marquis's mansion, and the other is a girl who may very well become a daughter-in-law in the future. No matter who is involved in this kind of thing, it would be extremely distressing!]
[Sigh, what should I do? After thinking about it... How about letting the third brother make some sacrifices?]
[Although the third child is his biological son, for the sake of the future harmony and peace of the entire family, and to allow the second child's beautiful love story to continue, it seems that he has no choice but to let him down a bit...]
At this moment, all kinds of chaotic and complicated thoughts kept flashing in Jiang Mianmian's mind, making her very upset.
