Chapter 3 It was Lu Wanning's fault
On the messy bed, Chen Wenjian, the eldest son of the Chen family, who was always elegant and aloof from women, was lying on the bed with his upper body naked, and in his arms was the second son of the Wu family.
The two of them were in an intimate posture, their faces still flushed as if afterward.
It also completely opened the eyes of these guests.
No wonder Chen Wenjian has never been interested in women. It turns out that he has someone in his heart, and that person is a man.
No wonder Wu Erke was so unlucky in marrying his wife. It turned out that he was keeping his chastity for the eldest son of the Chen family.
"This, this." The Second Madam tried her best to appear calm, suppressing the excitement in her eyes again and again. "Sister-in-law, what's going on?"
The eldest lady was still screaming, obviously very shocked by this shocking scene.
Fortunately, Mr. Chen arrived quickly. After seeing this scene, he almost fainted. He quickly asked someone to lead the guests to the front hall first, and ordered someone to bring a basin of water to pour over the two men's heads.
After being poured with cold water, Chen Wenjian and Wu Er woke up together.
The two looked bewildered. Chen Wenjian glanced down at his clothes, his brows twitching. His mother's incessant screams in his ears made him panic. "What's going on? Why am I here?"
…
The old lady's birthday banquet ended with this farce. All the guests who came to the Chen Mansion today were enlightened. I am afraid that it won't be long before the rumor that the eldest son of the Chen family is a homosexual will be known to everyone in the capital.
In the front hall of the Chen Mansion, all the guests had left. Master Chen, holding the family baton, hit Chen Wenjian several times, "You evil creature! You have brought shame upon our Chen family!"
Mrs. Chen felt sorry for her son. Seeing her son's confused expression, her brain, which had been lost for a long time, finally came back to her.
"Stop hitting me, Master. Don't you know what kind of character our Zhaoming is?"
Mr. Chen was breathing heavily, while Mrs. Chen protected her son with a fierce look in her eyes. "It was Lu Wanning who did this, it must be her!"
She turned around and glared at Aunt An, then ordered the servants, "Go find Lu Wanning for me!"
There's no cure for the drug that dead girl was poisoned with, there's no way she can escape.
The servants searched around and finally found some movement in the willow courtyard, and hurried to report again.
Mrs. Chen immediately led people to Liuyuan.
The resentment in her heart made her lose her usual fear when she stepped into this gloomy courtyard.
The door was kicked open, but what came into view was not Lu Wanning's charming face.
Instead, it was a man with slightly disheveled clothes, like the person in the painting.
There was a lot of dust on the jade-white clothes, and there were two scratches on the cheeks that seemed to be caused by fingernails, as if a perfect work of art had been smashed and had two cracks.
But this did not affect his handsomeness. Only the low pressure of displeasure around him made everyone feel a little scared.
Mrs. Chen's anger was suppressed once again. Judging from the two scratches on his body, she concluded that this must be Lu Wanning's adulterer. She immediately rushed in and searched everywhere, "Where's Lu Wanning? Where did that vixen go? Someone, find her for me!"
Chen Wenjian, who had hurriedly followed, was still pale. When he saw the man, his eyes went dark. "Your Highness."
When they heard it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the others immediately became respectful and did not dare to act rashly. Only Madam Chen had her heart tied to Lu Wanning and she wished she could drag her out and skin her alive.
"What do you mean His Royal Highness? This must be that vixen's adulterer. What a disgrace! Tie him up!"
"Mother!" Chen Wenjian shouted, "Be careful with your words."
Mrs. Chen finally came back to her senses, her expression sullen, but still somewhat unwilling. The dust on the ground was rubbed out to create a large clean area, and the clothes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were even more covered with dust. It was obvious that something had happened.
Even though she was a little afraid of the prince's identity, she was reluctant to miss the opportunity to drive Lu Wanning out of the Chen Mansion.
Not caring about why the prince appeared here, he asked anxiously: "Is the prince here alone?"
Qi Muchao glanced at her sideways. After all, she was a member of a noble family. Her imposing aura without even being angry was enough to frighten people.
Only then did Mrs. Chen feel panic.
Qi Muchao only asked in return, "Madam, who do you think this prince should be here with?"
He had a smile on his face, as if he was waiting for Mrs. Chen's answer very seriously.
Mr. Chen was afraid that his wife might say something wrong and cause trouble for the Chen family, so he quickly smiled and apologized, "No one, no one. My humble wife meant why the prince is here?"
Good question.
Qi Muchao also wanted to know why he was here.
The scratch on his cheek reminded him of what happened not long ago.
The feeling of absurdity mixed with shame made him feel vaguely excited. If he found the person, would he skin him first or pull out his tendons first?
This seemed too easy for her. She could use the newly built dungeon in the palace, but she didn't know how long she could withstand the hundreds of torture instruments in it.
Thinking of this, Qi Muchao curled his lips and said, "The cat I raised was too naughty and ran here. This prince came to look for it."
Master Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "So that's the case. I wonder what the prince's cat looks like. I'll have someone help him find it right away."
Qi Muchao thought about it and only remembered those tearful eyes, as clear as glass. It was not wrong to say that they were cats.
Sooner or later he would dig out those eyes and place them by his bed to admire them every day.
Touching the scar on his cheek, Qi Muchao shook his head and said, "No need. This cat is used to being wild. It will go back by itself when it has had enough fun. You don't need to worry about it."
Dusting himself off, Qi Muchao said, "The Chen residence seems quite lively today."
Master Chen said respectfully, "Today is my mother's birthday, and we have some guests coming to the mansion. If you don't mind, please go to the front hall for a cup of tea."
It was just a polite remark. Everyone knew that the Crown Prince was extremely fond of quietness due to his long-term frailty. Let alone a birthday party for a family like theirs, even if it was a banquet in the palace, the Crown Prince would not be given the slightest bit of face if he didn't want to go.
Everyone thought that Prince Qi would decline politely, but this man seemed quite interested and walked out. "Since that's the case, I'll also ask for a happy occasion."
The smile on Mr. Chen's face suddenly froze. If it was half an hour ago, when he learned that Prince Qi was coming to attend his mother's birthday party, he would definitely be smiling with joy.
Although the Chen family knew many officials, they had no contact with the royal family. Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took a tour of the Chen Mansion, and Mr. Chen had more topics to talk about when he did business in the future.
When businessmen brag, they always come out on top.
But now, all the guests in the mansion have left.
He immediately glared at his son hatefully, what a bastard, he had brought disgrace to the Chen family.
However, Chen Wenjian didn't notice his father's gaze at all.
After everyone left, his eyes fell on the piece of ground in the middle that seemed to have been rubbed clean by clothes.
He raised his hand and touched his face, which was still swollen as if he had been slapped. I wonder what he was thinking.
