Madam Zhuang and Cuifeng were shocked. They never expected that this girl would roast them on the fire with just a few words!
What can they say now?
Tell the truth? Say that the Third Madam sold Wanruo to Yuan Zhao and asked them to guard the gate and make sure Yuan Zhao slept with Wanruo?
It would be strange if they were not beaten to death!
The eldest lady stared at Madam Zhuang and said, "You are the old madam who serves the Third Madam personally. Why don't you stay with her and serve her instead of staying here?"
Madam Zhuang's eyes dodged, and she hesitated: "Slave, I am not feeling well today, so I am not available to serve you..."
No one would believe this. This old woman looks healthy enough to kill a cow, so how could she be unwell?
Yuan Zhao was a male guest, but he appeared near Wutongxuan for no reason and wanted to sneak into the courtyard of the Third Madam. The Third Madam's trusted servant happened to be guarding nearby, so there was no guarantee that he was here to pick up the adulterer!
Yuan Zhao finally reacted and angrily jumped up from the bed: "You little bitch! How dare you talk nonsense? When did I ever enter the Third Madam's courtyard? How could I possibly be interested in that middle-aged woman Zhang?!"
But just as he finished speaking, a sachet in his arms rolled out and fell to the ground.
Wanruo saw the sachet and her eyes widened in shock: "Isn't this sachet from the Third Madam?"
Yuan Zhao was stunned for a moment, completely unaware when this thing appeared on him.
The eldest lady's face was already very ugly, and she asked sternly, "How can you be sure that this is the third lady?"
Wanruo quickly replied, "Because the Third Madam always asked me to make the sachets, she always complained about not being able to sleep, so the sachets I made for her were all medicinal sachets, filled with medicinal herbs and dried flowers. I also made the embroidery on the sachets, so I recognize them myself."
Wanruo's father used to be in the medicinal materials business, and Wanruo has been familiar with medicinal materials since she was a child. After coming to the Xie family, she also prepared medicinal meals and medicine bags for the old lady every day.
Everyone in the Xie family knew that this cousin was very clever and skillful. She could make medicine sachets that could help with sleep, repel mosquitoes, and calm the nerves. She was also very good at talking, so whenever anyone asked her for help, she would help.
The Third Lady came to use her as a maid, and she ordered her to do things at will.
She had originally intended to make this medicine sachet as a gift to the Third Madam.
Wan Ruonuo said: "The Third Madam loves peony so much that she asked me to embroider peony on the medicine bag."
At this moment, on this sachet that has fallen on the ground, aren't there huge and bright peony flowers blooming?
The evidence is conclusive!
The first lady's face looked extremely ugly. She never expected that the third lady would be so bold as to do such a thing!
If what happened today gets out, the Xie family will lose all face!
"You, you little bitch who talks nonsense, I will kill you!" Yuan Zhao was so angry that he wanted to get up from the bed and tear Wanruo apart.
But before he could get out of bed, he stumbled and fell to the ground, looking very embarrassed.
Wanruo was scared and hid back.
The eldest lady came down with a cold face: "Come here, send Master Yuan out first, quietly, don't let him shout or yell, and alarm others. Zhuqing, please ask the third lady to come over."
She paused, then continued, "Send someone to the front yard to inform the Third Master."
After all, this is the Third House's family affair. If the Third Madam does such a shameful thing, the Third Master must discipline her.
Wanruo lowered her eyebrows and remained expressionless.
Mr. Yuan was gagged and sent out of the room. The eldest lady took one look at this filthy place, frowned, and turned around and walked out of the room with some disgust.
Before leaving, he glanced at Wanruo and said, "Come with me."
Wanruo nodded and followed.
As they left Tingshui Pavilion, the doctor gave them a cold warning: "Don't tell anyone about what happened today. If I hear any rumors, I will not let you or your brother go unpunished."
Wan Ruo agreed: "Don't worry, Madam, I didn't see anything."
The eldest lady took one look at her obedient appearance and felt a little relieved: "Don't learn from your aunt and do these dirty things that are not worthy of being shown to the public."
Wanruo's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyes: "Yes."
The eldest lady didn't want to stay long and left.
Wanruo did not leave, but stayed outside Wutong Pavilion. Not long after, she saw the third master coming angrily and rushing into Wutong Pavilion.
After a while, the third wife also came.
The Third Madam seemed unaware of the situation. She asked the maid who led the way with an impatient look on her face, "What's the urgent matter that requires me to come here now? The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang also wants me to accompany her..."
Before he could finish his words, he looked up and saw Wanruo standing not far away.
It was Xu Wanruo who was completely unharmed.
The Third Madam's face froze slightly: "You, why are you here?"
She looked around again and found that the door of Tingshuixuan was wide open. Yuan Zhao, the person who arranged it, didn't know what was going on. The third lady felt a little uneasy.
Wanruo curved her lips and said something ambiguous: "Didn't my aunt ask me to come?"
The Third Madam was about to ask more questions, but was interrupted by the old woman who was leading the way: "Third Madam, please go ahead. The Third Master is still waiting."
The Third Lady didn't bother asking any more questions. She could only give Wanruo a stern look and then hurried back inside.
As soon as the third lady entered, Su Yue also hurried over.
"Girl! What happened?"
She had just been looking for Wanruo everywhere but couldn't find her. After asking someone, she found out that Wanruo was in Wutongxuan. She was afraid that the Third Madam was making things difficult for her again, so she hurried over.
