Chapter 64 The Scandal of the Prince Yong's Mansion
As soon as Shi Qingchen entered the Prince Yong's residence, he couldn't help but look around, trying to find the figure he had been longing for day and night.
Gu Nanxiao saw through his intentions. However, since it was his own family's wedding banquet, Gu Nanxiao naturally wouldn't make things difficult for him. Whatever it was, they would discuss it after today.
Meanwhile, two uninvited guests arrived at the women's section: Xu Shulan and Shen Yujiao, who had just been expelled from the mansion the day before. Ignoring Yunxi's hospitality, they swaggered off and found their own seats.
Yunxi didn't want to pay any attention to the two of them, since Gu Nanxiao didn't have any official status with her, let alone being Gu Nanxiao's legal wife or concubine.
As long as they don't cause trouble today, everyone will be at peace. But if they dare to harbor ill intentions, then they shouldn't blame her for being ruthless.
The banquet began, and the dishes served immediately amazed everyone. Today's menu was all personally designed by Yunxi.
She taught the head chef some modern high-end dishes and practiced them several times before serving them at the birthday banquet. Naturally, the taste and visual appeal were both top-notch.
While everyone was eating, Yunxi set up a pre-trained instrumental troupe in a corner of the garden. The pieces they played were all famous Chinese songs, taught by her personally. Those knowledgeable in music applauded enthusiastically.
During the meal, everyone not only enjoyed delicious food they had never tasted before, but also admired the flowers and reveled in beautiful music. This made the compliments from the guests seem all the more genuine.
Today, Prince Yong also gave the Princess Consort face, placing Consort Xu at a side table. The only people allowed at the main table were Prince Yong, the Princess Consort, and Gu Nanxiao.
After several rounds of drinks and dishes, a theatrical performance related to birthday celebrations began on the stage set up in the courtyard. The servants methodically cleared away the leftovers and replaced them with tea and snacks.
At this moment, a maid who looked unfamiliar came to Yunxi's side, served her a cup of tea, and claimed that it was Lord Gu who had come to bring it to her because he saw that she had worked hard.
Yunxi picked up the teacup, gently brushed the tea soup in the cup with the lid, and after smelling a faint bitterness, smiled knowingly and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing that Yunxi had drunk the tea, the maid quickly took away the tea set and left in a slightly flustered manner.
After the person left, Yunxi immediately covered her mouth with her sleeve and spat the problematic tea onto the inside of her sleeve. She then instructed Qianyu, who was standing nearby, to follow the little maid and see who she was working for.
A short while later, Qianyu returned and reported, "After that maid left, she met Xu Shulan. Although they didn't speak, the maid secretly nodded to Xu Shulan, clearly reporting her mission."
The maid then went to the men's section and whispered something to the second and third young masters before preparing to leave the mansion through the back door.
He has already been bound by my subordinates and handed over to other guards. We await your and Master's availability to decide his fate.
After nodding in satisfaction, Yunxi turned to her maid and instructed her to invite Xu Shulan, Gu Nanwen, and Gu Nanwu to the empty courtyard of the guest room, each in the other's name.
Then, he lit the strong aphrodisiac incense he had prepared beforehand and quickly left the mansion.
This little girl is the one Yunxi and Qi Jinxiu wanted, specifically to deal with those three people who always wanted to harm her.
Yunxi is a very vengeful person. She will never be merciful to those who have harmed her, nor will she let time fade her forgiveness.
She always liked to give them a taste of their own medicine. Those who devised insidious schemes should be made to experience the consequences of their own actions.
A short while later, Yunxi saw the three people leave their seats one after the other. Two incense sticks' worth of time later, she saw the maid she had arranged rush into the garden in a panic, shouting:
"Oh no! Oh no! The guest rooms are on fire! Quick, put it out!"
Yunxi and Gu Nanxiao exchanged a glance and then followed the maid to the guest rooms. Following them, the male and female guests, along with their servants, rushed to help put out the fire.
When the group arrived at the guest courtyard, they found no firelight. Instead, they heard only the unrestrained moans and cries of men and women.
Most of the guests here are experienced people. They could tell what had happened inside just by listening. Considering that the maid had lied about a fire, she must have deliberately lured everyone here.
Their purpose was to expose this scandal. They came to offer their birthday wishes today with the intention of befriending Gu Nanxiao, and they couldn't let the host lose face at this time.
The quick-thinking guests immediately pretended not to have heard anything, saying that since there was no fire, they should return to their seats and continue watching the opera.
But no one expected that, at Yunxi's behest, Gu Nanxiao would push open the guest room door in front of everyone.
The sight of two men flanking a woman, entangled together, immediately caught everyone's attention.
Many women gasped and covered their eyes, yet continued to peek through their fingers. It wasn't that they lacked modesty; it was simply that such a spectacular live sex show was a rare sight indeed.
Inside, the brothers Gu Nanwen and Gu Nanwu, holding the half-undressed Xu Shulan, stood in the middle of the floor, engaging in sexual activity. Their most offensive parts were completely exposed to everyone.
The two brothers kept uttering vulgar and obscene words, and kept calling out Xu Shulan's name. Clearly, both brothers knew very well who they were having relations with.
What's even stranger is that Xu Shulan, despite being treated so undignifiedly, not only didn't object, but also took the initiative to wrap her arms around one of the brothers' necks, giving him kisses while shouting that she wanted more.
The first to react was Prince Yong. He rushed forward, closed the door, glared fiercely at Gu Nanxiao, and said to the guests with a gloomy face:
"Today, I would like to thank all my colleagues for attending my wife's birthday banquet. Please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality. The Prince's Palace has some household matters to attend to. Please move to the front hall for tea and a performance."
The meaning of the Prince's words—to dismiss them—was so obvious that no one would be so tactless as to stay for tea. They all made excuses about having things to do at home and took their leave.
Although Shi Qingchen wanted to take the opportunity to speak with Yunxi, the Yongwang Mansion was in such a bad situation that it was not a good time, so he left the mansion with his father.
The princess was somewhat angry that her birthday banquet had been ruined by three shameless people.
But the thought of Xu Shulan, who coveted his son, and the two useless illegitimate sons born to Consort Xu, having an affair in public with so many people watching, made him feel extremely pleased.
After all, birthdays can be celebrated every year, but such a wonderful show can't be seen every year.
After everyone in the mansion had left, Prince Yong kicked open the door and ordered several servants and maids to quickly go in and separate the three people.
To his surprise, the maids had only been inside for a short while when they came running out crying. Their clothes and hair showed clear signs of being pulled or tampered with. The servants, not wanting to harm Miss Xu, had no choice but to retreat as well.
Enraged, Prince Yong paced back and forth at the door. Finally, he ordered his personal guards to stand watch at the door until things were finished inside, and then he would take the two princes to his study. He then turned and left.
The princess glanced meaningfully at Gu Nanxiao and Yunxi, said nothing, and then, supported by Shen Yujiao, walked away with a smile.
Gu Nanxiao looked at Yunxi beside him. Seeing her calm and indifferent expression, what else could he not understand? Today's events must have been her doing again.
This girl is not only vengeful, but also very good at undermining her enemies. Once she makes a move, she aims to bring them utter destruction.
Seeing that Gu Nanxiao had no intention of questioning her, Yunxi turned and headed towards Songzhu Courtyard. Gu Nanxiao smiled wryly and followed her.
The fierce battle between the three in the guest room continued until dawn the next day before it finally came to an end.
Having regained consciousness, Xu Shulan had already been carried to Qiuxiang Courtyard by Consort Xu's men. Having nearly lost her life, she was lying on the bed, crying as her maid applied medicine due to a severe tear in a certain area.
