"ah--"
Zhang couldn't help but scream. She immediately covered her body with a quilt and hid in the shadow of the curtain.
This sound awakened the stunned people.
The colleagues who followed Sheng Dehai all the way here never thought they would get to eat such a big melon, and all of them had a schadenfreude expression on their faces.
Sheng Dehai was so angry that he was shaking like a sieve. Sloppy water, rotten vegetable leaves, and rotten melon peels were scattered all over the floor.
"Zhang! Chang Feng! What are you doing?!"
Chang Feng was so frightened that he fell to his knees without even having time to put on his pants.
"Master, it's unfair! It was her! This unruly, evil woman who seduced me!"
Zhang never thought that the person who loved her so dearly would treat her like this. She was so angry that she was shaking all over and swore loudly with her clothes on:
"What are you saying, Mr. Chang? Do you still have any conscience? You are actually confusing right and wrong in front of so many people!"
"At that time, it was clear that you broke into my warm room and spoke sweet words to me..."
"Enough! Zhang! Shut up!"
Being exposed as a cuckold in front of his colleagues and hundreds of guards, Sheng Dehai felt that today was the day he had completely disgraced himself for the rest of his life.
His face turned the color of liver with anger, and the veins on his forehead kept throbbing:
"Someone, come! Drag that unruly dog slave away and beat him to death!"
"As for this bastard... this bastard..."
Sheng Dehai was so angry that he took several deep breaths before he calmed down. He continued:
"Lock this bitch into the ancestral hall! Tomorrow I will write a letter of divorce and send her back to her parents' home!"
Several guards quickly walked over to drag the man away. Chang Feng and Zhang were really panicked now, and began to cry and beg for mercy:
"Master! Master, please spare my life! It was really that evil woman who seduced me! I am innocent!"
"I have been your bodyguard for so many years. I have no credit but I have worked hard! Please forgive me this time! I promise there will be no next time!"
"Master! Master! Wuwu... I really know I was wrong, I won't do it again."
Zhang's parents were extremely son-centric and daughter-centered, and she was abused from childhood to adulthood.
She couldn't stop trembling when she thought about going back to that cruel place. She was very eager to beg for mercy.
"Wuwu... Please, as long as you don't divorce me, I will do anything for you in the future!"
However, no matter how she pleaded, Sheng Dehai remained indifferent.
Zhang was furious and didn't care about the etiquette of a lady from a rich family. She immediately started to curse:
"Sheng Dehai, I was married to you Sheng family in a formal ceremony! For the past twenty years, I have been living with a wooden stake. How could I develop feelings for you?"
"What about you? Except for coming to my room for a quick visit during the holidays, you've never even looked me in the eye!"
"You married so many concubines, but you only gave birth to one child. Are you capable of that? Don't you have any idea in your mind?"
"You can't do it yourself, but you won't let me..."
"Shut her mouth! Shut her mouth! This woman is crazy! Shut her mouth quickly!"
Sheng Dehai was so angry that he jumped to his feet. He quickly ordered someone to cover Zhang's mouth and drag her away.
Turning back, he saw several colleagues who looked like they were enjoying the excitement. Sheng Dehai's anger surged straight to his head:
"Have you all seen enough of the excitement? Outsiders are not allowed to enter the backyard of our Sheng family. Please move to the front yard."
Several cunning colleagues were not justified:
"Humph! We just followed you in because we were trying to help you catch a thief!"
"That's right! I called dozens of secret and visible guards to help you catch the thief! It's fine if you don't feel grateful, but you're still so weird!"
"Look! All my guards have been guarding outside the house. Now they are all called in because of you! They really don't know what's good for them!"
“…”
Sheng Dehai looked at the rows of guards, knowing what had happened today, and was afraid that he could not hide it.
His dark complexion became even darker now.
While asking the guards to continue catching thieves, he shouted at people to send these "outside men" out.
But at this moment, a series of orderly and powerful footsteps were heard outside the mansion.
Immediately, everyone in the palace heard the sound of the eunuch gathering his inner strength:
"Pass on His Majesty's words--"
"I have heard that someone has reported that the King of Qin is suspected of practicing witchcraft and cursing me. This is a crime of treason. I have specially ordered the commander of the imperial guards, Zheng Jichang, to lead 10,000 imperial guards to the King of Qin's residence to search for all possible evidence!"
"I order that this matter must be investigated strictly and without error. I hereby—"
As the eunuch's sharp voice fell, teams of imperial guards wearing iron armor and silver helmets immediately surrounded the huge Qin Palace inside and outside.
One move stirs up thousands of waves,
As if they had a premonition that the Qin Palace was about to collapse, many servants could not help crying and shouting. For a while, the sounds of quarreling, crying, and shouting for help came one after another.
Sheng Dehai and several of his colleagues, who were still in the backyard of the second house, looked much more relaxed when they heard the noise outside.
Sheng Dehai was really unlucky tonight. All his belongings were emptied out in an instant. Not only has the thief not been found yet, but his wife was also caught cheating on him.
With so much bad news coming one after another, he felt like he had aged ten years in an instant, and he was completely listless.
Fortunately, the previously arranged plan was still proceeding as usual, and the imperial guards did come to search the eldest house as promised.
No matter how stupid Sheng Dehai is, he knows that what is most important is what is happening right now.
What does the little money that was stolen and the little reputation that was ruined matter? !
As long as he does a good job of the tasks assigned to him by his uncle, promotion and wealth are just around the corner!
Thinking of this, Sheng Dehai's eyes lit up with excitement. He only had time to wipe the stains on his head and face before he hurried out to greet her with a smile on his face.
Sheng Nanxi, who had been hiding in the dark and keeping an eye on the movements in the Prince Qin's Mansion, took advantage of this opportunity to start emptying the remaining rooms in the second house and the rooms of the masters and servants in the first house.
She had just emptied out a few storage rooms in the big house, and had not yet emptied out her grandmother, mother, and brothers' rooms for fear of disturbing their sleep.
Now that everyone had come to the yard, it was a good opportunity for her to act.
Sheng Nanxi emptied every corner of the Prince's Mansion with great skill.
Finally, just before the commander of the imperial guards stepped into the Qin Palace, he mixed into the noisy crowd.
She was very excited and was taking out a small bag of melon seeds, ready to see the 'surprise gift package' that her elder brother had prepared for her second uncle.
But the next moment, I heard my mother's painful cry not far away:
"Mother! Mother, are you having a headache again?! Qiao'er! Call the palace doctor quickly!"
