Chapter 97 Xu Suyuan's Collapse: Being Caught in an Adultery, Shame on Him
Soon it was the day when Yu and Rong Yue would distribute porridge in Anrenfang.
Early that morning, a secret report was delivered to the Dali Temple, and the subordinates handed the letter to Xu Qingsong.
Xu Qingsong opened it and saw that it was about the whereabouts of the box of silver lost in the Shi Mansion.
Xu Qingsong handed the matter directly to Xu Suyuan.
Xu Suyuan glanced at the location, which was Anrenfang, but didn't pay much attention to it. For some reason, Maosong didn't return home last night, so Xu Suyuan brought another servant with him to work today.
Rong Yue went out with her mother-in-law today. She was in high spirits all the way. Thinking of the exciting scene that would happen soon, all the endurance of the past few days was worth it.
The porridge stall has been set up.
There was a long queue of people coming to get the porridge. Yu, Rongyue, and several maids were all distributing the porridge with their own hands. In addition, Rongyue also invited her mother and aunt to have lunch at the restaurant opposite the porridge stall today.
Jiang Yunzheng was not far away, listening to an opera in a nearby teahouse.
Wu Yu kept an eye on the movements outside at all times, and she seemed to know what the young lady was going to do.
Soon, people from the Dali Temple brought people to the porridge stall. When Yu saw the eldest son sitting in the first position, she smiled. Xu Suyuan nodded to her and Rong Yue, then rode his horse into the alley next door.
Rong Yue stared at Xu Suyuan's back.
I felt sad and sighed in my heart.
Today, there were a few more vendors selling vegetables and cakes in the alley. The people watched curiously as the soldiers went in, and soon a woman's scream was heard from inside.
Miss Zhao had just finished her breakfast when the door was rudely pushed open.
The vendors outside were looking in curiously.
When Miss Zhao saw Xu Suyuan standing at the door, she was overjoyed, "Sir, you finally came to see me!"
After saying that, Miss Zhao quickly stopped talking. She bit her lip. The current situation was not suitable for reminiscing about the past and talking about love.
Xu Suyuan's face gradually darkened, realizing that he had been set up today.
Miss Zhao wrung her hands and whispered, "Sir, the box you sent last time is in the study."
As soon as the words came out, almost all the officers and soldiers present looked at Xu Suyuan.
The Dali Temple has two Shaoqings, namely the Left and Right Shaoqings.
Xu Suyuan was the Left Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, while Wei Lai next to him was the Right Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.
Wei Lai was already annoyed by Xu Suyuan's pretentiousness, so he said meaningfully, "Go in and search!"
Xu Suyuan was so angry that he almost laughed. He dismounted and said, "Wait! Brother Wei, there might be a misunderstanding today."
Wei Lai chuckled and dismounted, "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, we'll know after a search."
Miss Zhao gradually realized that she seemed to have done something wrong. She cautiously came to Xu Suyuan and said softly, "Sir."
Xu Suyuan, however, pushed the man to the ground, lowered his eyes, and sneered, "Idiot."
In just a moment, Wei Lai took out a box from the study. The box was exactly the same as the one found in Shi Mansion, and the amount of silver inside was also the same.
Wei Lai curled his lips: "Master Xu, what is your explanation now?"
Miss Zhao realized that she had really gotten into trouble. She trembled her lips and said, "Sir, what did I do wrong?"
Just then, there was a sudden noise outside.
"Master Xu, the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple, has embezzled money!"
"He embezzled the silver confiscated from the Shi Mansion. Everyone, come and see!"
…
Xu Suyuan immediately glanced at the officers and soldiers, and someone immediately went out with a knife to stop them, but the vendors didn't even want the goods and just ran away.
Yu and Rong Yue, who were distributing porridge outside, heard the noise and quickly put down their work. They looked at each other and felt something was wrong.
After asking a few maids to stabilize the situation in the porridge stall, Yu and the other two quickly walked into the alley.
Rong Yue's eyes turned red with anxiety. Yu Shi, apart from her mistake in the matter of Xu Jingyang, was generally able to handle major matters. She patted her daughter-in-law's hand and said, "Don't worry."
Walking to the gate of the yard, Rong Yue stared blankly at the scene inside, her face completely pale.
Yu's gaze immediately fell on the woman on the ground.
The eyes and eyebrows revealed by Miss Zhao made Yu's eyes go dark. She looked at Xu Suyuan with a pale face, her eyes full of disbelief.
How could it be possible...
How could Xu Suyuan...
Xu Suyuan noticed the two people at the door, and when he saw Yu's expression, Xu Suyuan was completely panicked.
Yu stared at Xu Suyuan's face closely, and she understood most of what was going on. Her vision went dark, and she said, "We'll talk about this when we get home!"
Rong Yue gently pushed him away and stared straight at Miss Zhao.
Miss Zhao looked at Rong Yue's face, and her legs completely weakened. Wei Lai came up to her and asked, "Did Xu Suyuan send this box over?"
Miss Zhao blinked rapidly, looking like she was about to cry. She glanced at Xu Suyuan, then quickly lowered her head and said, "No."
Wei Lai: "Oh? Take the person away!"
Miss Zhao screamed, "Don't touch me, I don't know anything!"
Wei Lai scoffed, "You don't know? Then what is your relationship with Lord Xu?"
Xu Suyuan shouted, "Wei Lai, shut up!"
Miss Zhao really doesn't dare to go to the prison. If she goes there, can she come back?
Miss Zhao's tears, which she had been trying to hold back, kept falling. Wei Lai narrowed his eyes slightly, looking very scary. "Look at me. What is your relationship with Lord Xu?"
Miss Zhao completely collapsed. "Master, since I just had a miscarriage, can you please save me? I don't know anything. Someone just delivered this box of things on your orders the day before yesterday, and I don't even know what's inside!"
As soon as the words fell, Rong Yue at the door was about to collapse. She held on to the door frame tightly, pointed at Xu Suyuan, and cried loudly: "Xu Suyuan, I am at home serving my mother-in-law and managing all the affairs of the mansion, but you are keeping a mistress outside, you..."
Rong Yue's voice was not small, and she fainted right after she finished speaking.
Yu was deeply saddened. She never expected that her eldest son would have such thoughts about Jingyang. Yu held back her tears and asked someone to send Rongyue back home first, while Xu Suyuan was taken back to the Dali Temple on the spot.
Before leaving, Xu Suyuan met Yu's disappointed gaze. Xu Suyuan took a deep breath and pursed his lips.
Anrenfang is very lively today.
The wife and the young wife of the Xu family were compassionate to the people and specially provided porridge to them to accumulate merit. However, the eldest son of the Xu family, Xu Suyuan, openly embezzled money from the criminal Shi family and was caught red-handed. In addition, he was also caught on the spot by his mother, wife and colleagues from the Dali Temple.
Rong's mother and aunt, who were still waiting for Rong Yue to have dinner in the restaurant, almost fainted from anger.
On this day, Xu Suyuan's image as a handsome gentleman was completely torn to pieces, leaving him with no face left.
