If something really happens to Mr. Yuan, the Third Madam will be in big trouble!
The two of them frantically took out the key, unlocked the door, and hurriedly opened the door and went in. They saw Master Yuan rolling in the grass with his face covered in blood, covering his eyes, while Wanruo stood beside him with an expressionless face.
They were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and the little maids screamed.
The old woman, however, was experienced and immediately pointed at Wan Ruo's nose and cursed: "How dare you beat Master Yuan like this!"
Wanruo suddenly curled the corners of her lips, and her smile was a little weird.
The two were inexplicably frightened by the smile and were just standing there in a daze when Wanruo suddenly rushed out and shouted, "Someone! Catch the thief! There's a thief!"
The maid and the old woman were unable to stop her and could only watch as she shouted twice and actually called someone over.
Soon, some servants came with weapons to arrest people.
"Where is the thief?!"
Wanruo pointed at the ground, and the servants immediately rushed up and beat him with sticks, then put him into a sack.
The old woman had been pushed out by the crowd, but now she saw Master Yuan being beaten. She was so frightened that she didn't care about anything else and shouted, "Stop it! Stop it, this is a distinguished guest!"
The servants who were beating him up suddenly stopped and stood there in a daze.
In Taoyuan.
The banquet had already begun at this time. The sound of stringed instruments and bamboo pipes in the garden was extremely elegant. The third lady was still surrounding the wife of Marquis Yongchang and showing her courtesy. The second lady was busy with social engagements, and the first lady was talking to Jiang Xuejun. The atmosphere was harmonious and harmonious.
But at this moment, a maid hurried in and whispered a few words in the lady's ear.
The eldest lady's expression changed immediately, and she lowered her voice and asked, "Is it really Yuan Zhao?"
"Yes, everyone is listening to Shuixuan now..."
"I'll go and take a look." The eldest lady stood up hurriedly.
On such a big day as the 11th, if such a farce happens, it will end badly if we are not careful.
"Aunt, what happened?" Jiang Xuejun asked in surprise.
The eldest lady smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's just that Rui'er and the other kids are being naughty and making some trouble. I'll go take a look. Please sit down first."
Family disgrace should not be made public, and even the eldest lady’s daughter should not make it public.
Jiang Xuejun noticed something was amiss, but she nodded, "Then Auntie, go quickly."
The eldest lady left in a hurry.
When the eldest lady arrived at Tingshuixuan, Yuan Zhaoyi had already been carried into the house. The maid was wrapping a handkerchief around his head to stop the bleeding. His eyes were still red and swollen, and his head was full of blood. He looked very scary.
"It hurts, it hurts! Bitch! Bitch! I'm going to kill you! Come on, drag that bitch out and beat her to death! Ah! It hurts! Where's the doctor? Where did the doctor go? You bastards, don't even think about getting away with this!"
As soon as the doctor entered the room, she heard Yuan Zhao shouting and cursing, and her brows furrowed.
"What's going on?!" the eldest lady asked sternly.
The servants in the room were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.
Yuan Zhaoyi became even more excited when he saw her, and he started cursing, "Is this how you, the Xie family, treat guests? You actually allowed this lowly person to beat me up like this! If you don't kill this bitch for me to vent your anger, I won't let you off!"
Yuan Zhao pointed at Wanruo who was standing aside.
The eldest lady then looked at Wanruo, the cousin who had always been ignored.
The eldest lady scolded him coldly: "You are so brave!"
Wanruo was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head: "I, I didn't know he was a distinguished guest in the mansion. I thought he was a thief. I saw him sneaking into Tingshui Pavilion and trying to enter the Third Madam's courtyard through the corner door of Tingshui Pavilion..."
Tingshuixuan was Ruiger's study, but Ruiger loved to play and never studied hard, so the third lady specially opened a corner door for the study, connecting it to the third lady's Wutongxuan, so that she could come and check at any time whether her son was studying.
Wanruo knelt on the ground, her face full of grievance. "During the banquet today, it was inevitable that a thief would take advantage of the chaos to break into the mansion and cause trouble. I saw him sneaking into Wutong Pavilion, and he even boasted that Third Madam had given him permission. In my anxiety, I mistook him for a thief and called for his arrest."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed.
The eldest lady's eyes flashed, and she looked at Yuan Zhaoyu with a strange look.
Why was Yuan Zhao sneaking into the Third Madam's courtyard? He was a wealthy man, so if he wasn't after money, then he could only have an affair!
Wanruo looked confused again and continued, "Luckily, Third Madam's servants, Madam Zhuang and Cuifeng, were also nearby. When I shouted 'Catch the thief,' they were the first to rush in. If First Madam doesn't believe me, just ask them!"
