Chapter 462: Caught in Bed
Seeing Mrs. Guan's face 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, weighing the pros and cons in a state of confusion.
Hearing Lu Yan's determined tone, she was really afraid that her daughter was in trouble.
What if...
Why didn't she be more careful today? She thought no one would dare to do anything at the Guan family birthday banquet.
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 it won't be unfair to your Guan family. Why don't we just get the marriage arranged?"
Lu Yan pressed forward step by step.
Mrs. Guan loves her daughter so much that she can't remain calm.
Go find A-Tan, in case Xiang Ze sets her up... A-Tan's reputation will be ruined, and according to the Guan family's ancestral teachings, she can only marry Xiang Ze.
If she didn't go, Lu Yan would make irresponsible remarks to insult her innocence.
It's useless to choose!
Mrs. Guan gritted her teeth and said, "Our Ah Tan may just be delayed by something. I will ask the servant to look for him."
Lu Yan would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They had been planning for the Guan family birthday banquet for a long time.
"Aunt Guan, people in the capital say that the daughters raised in the Guan family are the most polite, dignified and elegant. After all, your ancestors had a concubine. You are so hesitant, is there any hidden reason?"
A few reckless dandies started to make a noise, "Yeah, why are you blocking us from seeing it?"
"Could it be that she is really with Xiang Ze? So many young talents at the birthday party came for Guan Jingtan. It's really not fair of you to keep it a secret even though she has found a partner."
"Your Guan family rejected the Xiang family's marriage proposal before, so why is your precious daughter flirting with him now? You're trying to be both a concubine and a chaste woman, hahahaha..."
These people have all received benefits from Lu Yan, so they dare to say anything.
"I, Guan Qingguo, am not dead yet, who dares to be so rude at my birthday party?"
Master Guan had a loud voice, was wearing a plain green outfit, and walked with firm steps.
He frowned and looked around.
"Are you a bunch of weaklings? Didn't your elders teach you to speak properly? You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. Steward, drive these guys away."
Master Guan gave the order with an indifferent expression.
The old butler immediately found a bodyguard to drive these young men out.
Lu Yan turned around and said provocatively, "Master Guan, are you trying to shut us up? How can we shut up so many people? The rumors about Guan Jingtan and Xiang Ze's ambiguous relationship will spread all over the capital tomorrow."
Master Guan sneered: "Young man from the Lu family, even Lu Bannong wouldn't dare to speak so arrogantly in front of me."
His sharp eyes were filled with coldness as he spoke calmly, "Since you all care so much about my Ah Tan, then go and have a look. I want to see what you can see."
"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 must be sick with cat pus."
Master Guan ignored her words and just said, "We in the Guan family are open and aboveboard, and we don't hide anything. Let's go!"
"good!"
Lu Yan clapped his hands slowly, "Grandpa Guan is really a straightforward person, so let's all be witnesses. If I said something wrong, I will apologize sincerely. If Miss Guan and Mr. Xiang are together, then Grandpa Guan will arrange the marriage between the two families on the spot."
Master Guan's face turned livid, and he was furious: "Okay!"
The guests were not stupid and they knew 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 really big. It would take you until midnight to walk around it.
Lu Yan naturally made plans early.
There are so many servants in the Guan family, there are bound to be a few bad apples.
Just pay a little more and it'll be done.
He curled his lips to see the joke.
now.
Around the corridor, a young maid ran over in a hurry. Seeing the huge crowd, she looked even more flustered and her face turned 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 asked the eldest lady to come to the banquet, but...but when I saw the eldest lady and Master Xiang entered 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 I was right. Miss Guan really loves my brother Ze. In this case, whether you go or not, the marriage must be settled. Otherwise, it will bring disgrace to our ancestors, the Guarjia clan."
Master Guan's face was gloomy: "Since we have come this far, let's go and take a closer look. My Ah Tan is the most sensible person."
"Let's go!"
"Dad!" Mrs. Guan exclaimed.
Master Guan seemed to be threatening: "Let's go!"
The guests had different expressions on their faces and 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 been there before, so they naturally knew what the sound was and they all smiled ambiguously.
"I heard that Miss Guan has a valuable carved step-down bed, which is worth a fortune. This type of step-down bed is the most sturdy..."
Someone replied, "Then we can only blame Young Master Xiang for being so capable that he could make such a noise even with a sturdy bed. No wonder Miss Guan was screaming so loudly. The soundproofing of this old building is pretty good, how could it be so noisy..."
"They are in love. I think the reason you refused the marriage was because your husband didn't agree. Young people are full of passion. They got excited as soon as they met."
"Mr. Guan is the most traditional and old-fashioned, while Miss Guan is just a young girl. She becomes repressed after being educated for a long time, so won't she be able to release her nature?"
"Mr. Xiang is so lucky. The situation in the imperial capital is going to change completely."
They talked a lot, but no one pushed the door.
Some indecent people listened to the artificial female voice in the song and speculated that the lady from a noble family could be so dissolute.
But Mrs. Guan frowned, with a look of doubt on her face.
How could she not know 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."
Master Guan snorted coldly: "Butler, go and push the door!"
"Grandpa Guan, I know that the Guan family believes in the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Even though you are angry, please give your granddaughter some face. If she is naked..."
Lu Yan said with a gloating look.
Master Guan said coldly: "Open the door!"
"yes."
The butler 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.
