Chapter 462: Caught in Bed
Seeing Mrs. Guan's expression change, Lu Yan added fuel to the fire: "Aunt Guan, if it's any later, she might even be pregnant. You keep saying your daughter is innocent, but if you don't go and see her, how can you prove her innocence?"
Mrs. Guan clenched her fists, her mind in turmoil as she weighed the pros and cons.
Hearing Lu Yan's firm tone, she was really afraid that her daughter had been tricked.
just in case……
Why didn't she be more careful today? She thought no one would dare to do anything at the Guan family's birthday party.
But I didn’t expect that the Xiang family and the Lu family were so bold!
"Aunt Guan, my brother Ze and Miss Guan are a perfect match, and we won't let your Guan family down. Why don't we just get the marriage settled?"
Lu Yan pressed forward step by step.
Mrs. Guan loves her daughter so much that she cannot remain calm.
Go find A Tan, what if Xiang Ze frames her... A Tan's reputation will be ruined, and according to the Guan family's ancestral precepts, she can only marry Xiang Ze.
If she didn't go, Lu Yan would speak nonsense and insult her innocence.
It's useless to choose!
Mrs. Guan gritted her teeth and said, "Maybe our Ah Tan was just delayed by something. I will ask the servants to look for him."
Lu Yan would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They had been planning for the Guan family's birthday party for a long time.
"Aunt Guan, everyone in the capital says that the daughters of the Guan family are the most respectful and dignified. After all, your ancestors produced a noble concubine. Is there something hidden behind your stopping me like this?"
A few unruly dandies started to jeer, "Yeah, why are you stopping us from watching?"
"Could it be that she's really with Xiang Ze? All those young talents at the birthday party came for Guan Jingtan. It's really mean of you to hide it from her even though she's found a partner."
"Your Guan family rejected the Xiang family's marriage proposal before, so why is your precious daughter flirting with them now? You're trying to be both a cousin and a chaste woman, hahahaha..."
These people have received benefits from Lu Yan and dare to say anything nonsense.
"I, Guan Qingguo, am not dead yet. Who is being so rude at my birthday party?"
Old Master Guan spoke in a loud voice, and came with brisk steps while wearing a low-key dark green outfit.
He pulled a face down and looked around.
"Is it you, these idiots? Didn't your elders teach you to speak properly? You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. Steward, drive these people away."
Mr. Guan gave the order with an indifferent expression.
The old butler immediately called bodyguards to drive these young men out.
Lu Yan turned around and challenged, "Grandpa Guan, are you trying to silence us? How can we silence the public? The rumors about Guan Jingtan and Xiang Ze's ambiguous relationship will spread throughout the capital tomorrow."
Old Master Guan sneered: "Even Lu Bannong, the younger generation of the Lu family, wouldn't dare to speak so arrogantly in front of me."
His sharp eyes shone with coldness as he spoke calmly, "Since you all care so much about my Ah Tan, then go and have a look. I'll see what you can find."
"Dad! No!" Mrs. Guan knew the seriousness of the situation, her face flushed and she gritted her teeth and said, "You can't go. He looks like he's up to something."
Old Master Guan ignored her words and simply said, "We in the Guan family are open and honest. We don't hide anything. Let's go!"
"good!"
Lu Yan slowly clapped his hands. "Grandpa Guan is such a straightforward person. Let's all be witnesses. If I said anything wrong, I'll apologize. If Miss Guan and Mr. Xiang are together, then Grandpa Guan will arrange the marriage between the two families right then and there."
Grandpa Guan's face turned pale, and he was furious: "Okay!"
The guests were not stupid and of course they knew that something was fishy going on tonight.
Everyone loves gossip and wants to know first-hand information.
So they all followed out in a mighty procession.
The Guan family palace is so huge that it would take until midnight to walk around it.
Lu Yan naturally made plans early.
With so many servants in the Guan family, there are always a few bad apples.
Just pay a little more and it'll be done.
He raised his lips to look at the joke.
now.
A young maid came running over from the corridor. Seeing the huge crowd, she looked even more flustered and her face flushed red.
She called out timidly, "Madam..."
Mrs. Guan closed her eyes slightly and asked, "What's wrong?" She felt like she was being roasted on a fire, unable to escape.
The maid stuttered, "I just wanted to invite the eldest lady to the banquet, but...but when I saw the eldest lady and Young Master Xiang enter the room, I didn't dare to disturb them."
Mrs. Guan's heart sank: "What nonsense!"
"I... really saw it."
Lu Yan laughed even louder. "Aunt Guan, Grandpa Guan. I didn't expect that what I said was right. Miss Guan really loves my brother Ze. In that case, whether we go or not, this marriage must be settled. Otherwise, it will bring disgrace to our ancestors, the Guarjia clan."
Grandpa Guan's face was gloomy. "Since we've come this far, let's go over and take a closer look. My Ah Tan is the most sensible person."
"Let's go!"
"Dad!" Mrs. Guan exclaimed.
Mr. Guan seemed to be angry: "Let's go!"
The guests all had different expressions on their faces as they followed them to Guan Jingtan's residence.
Just approached.
Separated by a carved wooden door.
Then I heard a woman's soft cries and the creaking sound of wood.
Most of the people present had experienced this before, so they naturally understood what the sound was and smiled ambiguously.
"I heard that Miss Guan has a precious, carved, thousand-work step-down bed, which is worth a fortune. This type of step-down bed is the most sturdy..."
Someone continued, "Then this noise can only be blamed on Young Master Xiang being too capable. He could even make such a sturdy step-out bed make such a noise. No wonder Miss Guan was screaming so loudly. This old building has good sound insulation, so how could it make such a noise..."
"The man and the woman are in love. I think the old man refused the marriage before because he didn't agree. Young people are full of passion. They get excited as soon as they meet."
"Mr. Guan is the most traditional and old-fashioned, while Miss Guan is just a young girl. She's been taught so much that she becomes repressed. Wouldn't this unleash her true nature?"
"Young Master Xiang is so lucky. The situation in the imperial capital is about to change completely."
They talked a lot, but no one pushed the door.
Some indecent people listened to the pretentious female voice and speculated that the noble lady from aristocratic family could be so dissolute.
But Mrs. Guan frowned, with a look of surprise and doubt on her face.
How could she not hear her own daughter's voice?
This is not...
She met the old man's clear eyes and stood there in a daze.
Lu Yan was still immersed in the joy of his conspiracy succeeding, and his expression was even more undisguised: "The Guan family is about to have a happy event."
Old Master Guan snorted coldly: "Butler, go push the door!"
"Grandpa Guan, I know the Guan family believes in following the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Even if you're angry, please give your granddaughter some face. If she's naked..."
Lu Yan said gloatingly.
Mr. Guan said coldly: "Push the door open!"
"yes."
The housekeeper had no choice but to go forward and push the door.
The closer you get, the louder the sounds of men and women making love become.
With a bang, the door was pushed open heavily.
