Chapter 8: The Lady Seduces the Younger
"Madam, something bad has happened! Taohua, the little maid from Lingxi Pavilion, brought the news..."
At nightfall, Aunt Zhang hurried into Fushou Hall.
Madam Lin was still awake. She frowned and sneered, "Why are you so flustered? It's so unbecoming!"
Nanny Zhang leaned close to the old lady's ear and reported with an embarrassed look on her face.
A gleam of light flashed in Madam Lin's eyes, but her face was filled with anger. "Song Yanxi, she's such a good girl! I always thought she was kind. I never thought that she would do such a shameless thing before my son's body is even cold!"
"Let's go, I want to see how she explains this time!" Old Madam Lin quickly put on her clothes and walked towards Lingxi Pavilion with the help of the nanny and the maid.
When they arrived at Lingxi Pavilion, they saw that the door was closed and two maids, Zhuguo and Zhulu, were guarding outside.
Seeing the old lady, their expressions changed and they hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "Old lady."
"Open the door!"
Madam Lin shouted coldly.
Zhuguo and Zhulu exchanged a glance, and Zhuguo stepped forward and said, "Madam, you've been toiling day and night preparing for the general's funeral. As soon as things were done today, you couldn't hold on any longer and fell ill. You just took some medicine and went to bed. I beg for your understanding, Madam!"
Old Madam Lin gave Aunt Zhang a look.
“Bang!”
Aunt Zhang immediately understood and stepped forward to slap Zhuguo in the face. "It's a blessing for Madam that the old lady came to see her. Who do you think you are to stop her? Open the door!"
At a command from Nanny Zhang, the servants and guards immediately rushed forward and broke the door open.
Old Madam Lin couldn't wait to rush in with her people.
While still in the yard, he saw the red candles flickering in Song Yanxi's bedroom, and even heard faint unbearable sounds.
Madam Lin's expression was grim, and she didn't ask the servants to leave. Instead, she cast a cold glance at Zhuguo and Zhulu, "Is this what you said, that your wife took some medicine and just went to bed? I want to see what kind of medicine your wife took today!"
Zhuguo and Zhulu were terrified and immediately knelt on the ground, "Old Madam, please calm down. Our Madam wouldn't... There must be some misunderstanding..."
"Shut up! Why don't you open the door? Do you want me to have someone break it down again?"
Zhuguo and Zhulu looked at each other with unpleasant expressions and could only go forward to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, the blushing and heart-pounding sound became more obvious.
The old lady was so furious that her whole body was shaking. "Someone, drag out that shameless slut and her adulterer!"
"ah--"
The sky-blue plain brocade quilt was lifted, and the man and woman who were making love on the bed, not knowing what time it was, finally regained some consciousness.
The man rolled off the bed, not caring about his disheveled clothes, and knelt on the ground, "Madam, please spare me, I don't know..."
The woman screamed and subconsciously pulled the quilt to cover herself.
Madam Lin staggered in anger, her fingers trembling as she pointed at the mourning-covered bed. "Song Yanxi, you shameless slut! My son's body is still warm, and you...you...! Aunt Zhang, tell them to put their clothes on and get out!"
The old lady left the room.
The courtyard of Lingxi Pavilion was suddenly brightly lit.
The old lady sat in the middle of the yard, her face ashen.
Soon, several maids pushed the man out of the room.
The man knelt down in front of Madam Lin and began to kowtow, "Madam, please spare my life, Madam, please spare my life, I don't know..."
He was halfway through his words when he suddenly pointed to the side. "Madam sent me here to ask about the general's beloved horses. I really don't know... Madam seduced me!"
"You bold slave, how dare you talk nonsense! Tell me, who ordered you to throw dirty water on the lady's head!" Zhu Guo couldn't help it, he stepped forward and kicked the horse slave to the ground.
Madam Lin glanced at Zhuguo fiercely, "Take this maid away!"
"Why don't you bring Song Yanxi out? What are you still standing there for?" Old Madam Lin shouted sternly.
"Mother-in-law, it's so late, what do you want to talk to me about?"
At this time, a clear voice came from the other end of the yard.
Madam Lin's body froze for a moment.
She stared at Song Yanxi who was walking from the other side of the yard with wide eyes, her pupils dilated.
Song Yanxi is here, and the woman in that room is...
Madam Lin had lived for decades and had experienced many ups and downs. She quickly calmed down, frowned, and angrily scolded Song Yanxi, "Where have you been in your room in the middle of the night? As the mistress of the house, not only did you fail to manage the harem, but you also allowed such a lowly slave into your room and did such obscene things with the maid. How can you be a mistress!"
Song Yanxi was confused and looked at Zhu Lu who was standing trembling beside her. "Zhu Lu, what's going on?"
When Zhu Lu saw Song Yanxi, tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
"Miss, I don't know either. As long as you are not in the room, it will be fine."
"How dare you ask what's going on?" Old Madam Lin's voice grew colder and colder. "Madam Zhang, drag the people out of this room. I want to ask your young mistress how she's been managing the servants these days."
Even if the woman in the room was not Song Yanxi, a crime must be pinned on Song Yanxi today.
Only then did she pretend to be magnanimous to Song Yanxi and let Song Yanxi take over the mess in the mansion and use her dowry to fill it.
At this time, Nanny Zhang's face looked grim and she hurried out of the room.
She was walking towards Old Madam Lin to whisper a message when Song Yanxi gave Zhu Lu a look.
"Ah—no—I don't want to go out! Song Yanxi, you bitch, you schemed against me!"
Before Aunt Zhang could quietly report it, a shrill scream was heard from the room.
Madam Lin's expression changed instantly. This voice was...
She immediately stood up and walked into the house in two steps.
Song Yanxi was one step faster than her. When she saw clearly who Zhu Lu was dragging, she covered her mouth in surprise, but still couldn't help screaming, "Tingxuan, why is it you? You and that horse slave..."
Song Yanxi couldn't believe it.
Lin Tingxuan shot a poisonous gaze at Song Yanxi.
She rushed towards Song Yanxi like a madman, "Song Yanxi, you bitch, it's all you who harmed me, you schemed against me, you will not have a good death!"
“Bang!”
Just when Lin Tingxuan was about to pounce on Song Yanxi.
Song Yanxi suddenly attacked, slapping her across the face. "Third Miss, you've behaved inappropriately, not only polluting my house, but you've also been talking nonsense. Has she lost her mind?"
The moment Mrs. Lin saw Lin Tingxuan, she felt dizzy. She subconsciously held her forehead, but she still staggered and almost fainted.
Lin Tingxuan was beaten by Song Yanxi.
She turned around and knelt in front of Madam Lin, hugging her calves. "Mother, Song Yanxi has framed my daughter. My life has been ruined by Song Yanxi! Mother, you have to make the decision for me!"
