Lin Xiuyan: "!!!!!"
This is truly unbelievable!
Ye Junfei put his arm around her waist, looking at her with amusement in his peach blossom eyes: "You wouldn't be thinking of doing that kind of thing with me, would you?"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
They were so close that his breath brushed against her neck.
Perhaps the scene she had just witnessed was too intense, because her body went limp when his breath brushed against her.
She quickly steadied herself, adjusted her breathing, and gave him a push: "I don't have time to argue with you right now."
"Someone's coming soon, you'd better hurry!"
Ye Junfei's lips curled slightly: "The way you put it makes it sound even more like we're having an affair."
Lin Xiuyan took a deep breath and looked at him, saying, "Just as you think, Zhou Chenyang only married me for my family's money."
"And I don't like him either, today I'm going to put an end to this."
"I beg you to leave immediately. Although I don't care about my reputation, it will cause me a lot of trouble if others see me with you at this time."
Ye Junfei's peach blossom eyes gleamed, he chuckled softly, lightly fanned himself with his folding fan, and calmly left.
Lin Xiuyan had originally thought he would use this matter to blackmail her and get some benefits from her, so his departure was somewhat unexpected.
Footsteps approached from not far away. She knew this wasn't the time to think about these things; she had a tough battle ahead of her.
The footsteps grew closer, and Lin Xiuyan took a deep breath and quickly left.
Those people were led over by Jiang Xinrou's maid, Hongxiu.
The excuse she gave for bringing these ladies over was that Zhou Chenyang had painted a portrait of Lin Xiuyan.
Zhou Chenyang, a former third-place scholar in the imperial examinations, was exceptionally talented and possessed first-rate painting skills; however, he rarely painted for others.
Although they didn't like Lin Xiuyan, they didn't mind when they heard they could see Zhou Chenyang's paintings, and they all came to see them.
When Hongxiu led the group over, she didn't see Jiang Xinrou. She didn't think much of it, assuming that Jiang Xinrou was deliberately avoiding suspicion.
A group of people walked to the door of the private room, chatting and laughing, and knocked on the door.
Hongxiu knew the people inside wouldn't open the door for them, so she simply pushed it open.
As she pushed open the door, she said, "Please forgive me for disturbing the City Lord's enjoyment. It's just that the ladies heard the City Lord was painting..."
Before she could finish speaking, the lady beside her screamed and turned to leave, yelling, "How embarrassing!"
The sounds coming from inside were far too suggestive; the ladies, having had experience in that area, knew exactly what was going on as soon as they heard them.
The room was dimly lit, and they couldn't see the faces of the man and woman inside.
Hongxiu was overjoyed to see this, thinking that Jiang Xinrou's plan had succeeded.
At this point, she certainly wouldn't let these ladies leave like that, otherwise those who didn't know the situation might think it was Lin Xiuyan and Zhou Chenyang.
She feigned a panicked expression and said, "Lord of the City, please forgive me! Young Miss, please forgive me!"
After she finished speaking, she tried to take out a tinderbox to light the lamp inside, but before she could move, the curtains inside suddenly burst into flames for some reason.
The light from the curtains illuminated the scene inside the room: a man and a woman were locked in a fierce struggle, and despite the presence of so many people, they couldn't bring them to their senses.
The shouts outside grew louder. Some people tried to back away, but there were too many of them, blocking the narrow corridor.
Those behind couldn't see clearly what was happening inside, and hearing the words of those in front, they asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Normally, if someone discovers this situation, they would definitely withdraw completely.
However, Lin Xiuyan's unconventional behavior led her to offend many people due to Jiang Xinrou's schemes.
So many of these people wanted to see Lin Xiuyan make a fool of herself, and they pushed forward one by one.
Meanwhile, Yu Feiyan and her men blocked the very end of the line, preventing them from leaving.
Yu Feiyan exclaimed, "I've always wanted to see the city lord's paintings; we can't waste this opportunity!"
This was something she had discussed with Jiang Xinrou beforehand; they couldn't let these ladies and young women leave, they had to let them see what was going on inside!
If Lin Xiuyan dares to hit her today, she will make Lin Xiuyan pay a bloody price!
So she not only blocked the road, but also pushed these people in with all her might.
Hongxiu had already realized something was wrong, because the man inside was not the man covered in sores that Jiang Xinrou had found for Lin Xiuyan!
She looked more like Zhou Chenyang, while the woman inside looked more like Jiang Xinrou.
Her heart was pounding, and she desperately tried to signal to Yu Feiyan with her eyes.
Unfortunately, Yu Feiyan was so focused on teaching Lin Xiuyan a painful lesson that she didn't even notice Hongxiu giving her a meaningful look.
So, at Yu Feiyan's urging, instead of letting the people inside leave, they pushed several people into the room. (Biquge)
Yu Feiyan didn't see what was happening inside, but she already exclaimed loudly, "Oh dear, doing this kind of thing in broad daylight is so embarrassing!"
"Lin Xiuyan, you are really shameless!"
Just then, Lin Xiuyan called out from outside, "How am I shameless? What are you all doing here?"
Her words were like a bolt from the blue for Feiyan.
She looked at Lin Xiuyan in shock, then glanced at the scene inside the room, and asked directly, "What are you doing outside?"
Lin Xiuyan said with a smile, "Brother Yang said that I am the perfect match for peonies, and told me to go to the garden to cut a peony branch to wear."
Yu Feiyan saw that she indeed had a peony flower in her hair, and she looked delicate and beautiful, but it made Yu Feiyan's mind buzz.
Meanwhile, the curtains inside the house were all ablaze, filling the room with flames, and even the wooden attic next door caught fire.
The ladies and young women who had been squeezed into the house panicked and shouted, "Fire! Fire!"
The scene instantly descended into chaos as a crowd pushed their way out.
Yu Feiyan lost her spirit and could no longer stop the people inside.
Her legs felt weak: Lin Xiuyan was outside, so who was the person inside?
Lin Xiuyan shouted, "A painting! The painting that Brother Yang made for me!"
After she finished speaking, she pretended to squeeze in.
At this moment, Zhou Chenyang inside the room finally regained consciousness.
He didn't care about anything else at that moment. He hurriedly put on a coat, picked up another coat and draped it over Jiang Xinrou's shoulders, and rushed out.
Just as he rushed to the door, Lin Xiuyan also arrived at the door.
Their eyes met, and Zhou Chenyang's expression turned extremely ugly.
Lin Xiuyan looked at Zhou Chenyang in shock, then at Jiang Xinrou.
At this point, the two were not only disheveled, but also covered in ambiguous red marks.
Lin Xiuyan certainly wouldn't miss the chance to openly and fairly beat up the scumbag, so she raised her hand and slapped him.
She roared, "Zhou Chenyang, you actually had an affair with my cousin! Are you even human?"
Her voice was very clear and crisp, setting the tone for the whole thing.
