Chapter 1079 Catching Adultery
Bringing her maid to a brothel was already shameful enough, but fortunately Lin Yuesha maintained her composure and didn't shout or scream.
The couple agreed not to hide things from each other anymore. This wasn't Qi Heng's first offense, which made Lin Yuesha very angry, especially since she caught three men in the same room. Even if it was a misunderstanding, she was still very embarrassed.
This time, Qi Heng knowingly committed the crime and must be convicted.
"My wife, I had no choice but to do this."
After being poisoned, Qi Heng immediately took an antidote pill, thinking it would be the same as before. However, he found that he could not suppress the residual poison with his internal energy, so he had to go to his subordinate, Ji Meiren.
Ji Meiren had always been the top courtesan in the brothel. In order not to delay her business, she suggested that Qi Heng be arranged to work in the brothel, which would be convenient and less likely to be noticed.
"My lady, this is a long story, and it can't be explained in just a few words."
After careful consideration, Qi Heng chose to keep it a secret.
As the day of his departure back to Beijing drew near, Qi Heng's sense of panic grew stronger. He was worried that if Lin Yuesha learned the truth, she would drift further and further away from him.
Haunted by nightmares every day, Qi Heng even considered escaping, vowing never to return to the capital and never wanting to face the nightmares.
He was at fault for everything, and now he's been slapped in the face. He never imagined he would have feelings for that little girl.
Having not consummated their marriage for over three years, Qi Heng had reached his limit of patience. He had to endure it even if he couldn't bear it anymore. He was already shameless enough. If he listened to his subordinates' instigation to force himself on Lin Yuesha, he would probably never be forgiven in this lifetime.
Qi Heng knew perfectly well that his wife was more responsive to gentle persuasion than to force.
"Alright, you always have your reasons."
Lin Yuesha waved her hand, remaining vigilant to avoid falling into Qi Heng's trap.
Qi Heng lay motionless on the bed, like a dead fish.
The couple's posture during the conversation was awkward, and Lin Yuesha said helplessly, "Husband, please get up and talk."
At least get up and put on your clothes; the rest of you should wait in the outer room.
"I can't get up."
Qi Heng's voice was muffled. If he sat up, his face would be exposed. He had to find a way to cover it up.
To avoid arousing his wife's suspicion, Qi Heng said pitifully, "Wife, the doctor advised that it's best not to move around unnecessarily to prevent the poison from invading my internal organs."
"Yes, young mistress, the master's posture was out of necessity. Besides, with things escalating like this, he's probably too ashamed to face you."
Ji Meiren took the initiative to step forward, making amends for Qi Heng's mistakes.
Hopefully, after the storm has passed, the Lord will spare him out of consideration for his great contributions and will not silence him; he does not want to die.
"It's all thanks to my good character and the young mistress's trust that things went wrong, otherwise there would have been a misunderstanding."
The white figure had already sensed the danger and stepped forward.
Qingxing suspected that he, the master, and Ji Meiren were having an affair. Just thinking about being misunderstood made Bai Ying feel nauseous.
"My wife, I am in pain, but there's nothing I can do about it."
Qi Heng lay still, but his hands were restless, precisely grasping Lin Yuesha's small hand, his tone very fragile.
In an instant, Lin Yuesha's heart softened again.
She had seen Qi Heng remain calm in the face of thousands of enemy troops, she had seen Qi Heng calmly dealing with danger, and she had even seen Qi Heng toying with others between his palms, but she had never seen him so vulnerable.
The couple held hands tightly, saying nothing, but everything was understood without words.
The people outside exchanged glances, all understanding that their lord had once again evaded them.
Qingxing and Qi'er remained silent, having considered that revealing everything now might not be the right time.
Qi Heng refused to turn over, and when Lin Yuesha tried to leave, he wouldn't allow it. The couple held hands tightly, and the inner room was unusually quiet.
Unexpectedly, this harmonious atmosphere was soon broken, and screams echoed from the brothel.
"Xin Youde, you old bastard, get out here! Coming to a brothel to seek pleasure and getting involved with these filthy people, I'll fight you to the death!"
After a scream, someone kicked open the door next door, followed by a deep, angry roar from inside: "Where did you come from, you fat woman? Get out of here right now!"
"You fat pig, who are you calling a fat woman?"
The woman at the door was about to leave when she heard the other party's impolite personal attack on her. She immediately became angry and cursed, "Look at you, fat head and big ears without wrinkles, but your lower part is as small as a coin. With such assets, you still have the nerve to come to a brothel to seek pleasure?"
"You fat hag, I'll fight you to the death!"
Insulted by his short stature, the man was so enraged that he almost fainted.
The area outside the door suddenly became lively, with people opening their doors to see what was happening.
Brothels are places where men seek pleasure; most of the women there are just prostitutes, and I've never actually seen a woman come looking for her husband.
The patrons united and verbally mocked the plump woman who opened the door.
Lin Yuesha also came to catch the adulterer in the act. Although it was a misunderstanding, she naturally sided with the fat lady in the face of ridicule.
The plump lady asked for the wrong room and bumped into her patron. However, the man jumped around and spoke with sarcasm, saying that if he saw the plump lady's spineless husband, he would definitely persuade him to divorce his wife.
“It’s wrong of you to offend me, but it’s someone else’s family matter and you have no right to interfere.”
Lin Yuesha couldn't stand it anymore; a ladybug actually had a point.
Who do you think you are?
The man, enraged, laughed and said, "Look at your fair and delicate appearance, are you not getting enough to eat at home and coming to the brothel to seek pleasure? If so, young lady, just tell me, and I will take care of you."
No sooner had the man finished speaking than a bamboo skewer flew out, its force pinning him to the wall. The man was so terrified he wet his pants and remained motionless.
"Serves you right, you have a foul mouth, you'll regret it."
The white-clad figure gloated. It was only because the master couldn't show himself that the man was spared; otherwise, if he had humiliated the young mistress, he would have been reporting to the King of Hell by now.
After the riot broke out, the madam arrived late. When she saw the newcomer, she gave a smile that was more like a grimace and said, "Madam Xin, what brings you here?"
"Where's my old man? Tell him to come out."
Madam Xin pulled up a chair and sat by the door, looking completely at ease.
She received reliable information that her old man was coming to the brothel for pleasure. He was quite old and didn't behave properly. She came specifically to arrest him. Once he was handed over to her, she would leave immediately without interfering with the brothel's business.
"Also, I apologize for the inconvenience today. If any items are damaged, I will compensate for them."
After calming down, Madam Xin spoke with great composure.
The brothel wasn't the place for her to deal with people; she'd deal with that old geezer Xin Youde when she got home.
You've misunderstood.
The madam was in a dilemma. She first comforted her patron, then ignored the man who was pinned to the wall and crying, and whispered, "Madam Xin, Physician Xin is not here for pleasure, but for a medical consultation."
