During the meal, after several rounds of drinks, many people became quite tipsy. If the women were like this, one can imagine how the men in the front yard were feeling.
The Zhou father and son drank especially much today, accepting almost every toast offered by everyone.
After the banquet, many people were a little drunk.
Yuan Zhao had already arranged for people to rest, and she herself led a group of female relatives to the courtyard to rest.
A group of people were chatting and laughing when suddenly, a maid-like woman rushed over anxiously:
"Madam, have you seen my young lady?"
The one speaking was the maid of the Imperial Censor's daughter. This young lady had been somewhat dim-witted since birth, and was considered somewhat mentally challenged.
The young lady from the Imperial Censor's family needed to use the restroom, so the maidservant who was serving her took her there.
The maid was waiting outside, but other people came over, and she chatted with them for a few days.
She waited outside for a long time, but her young mistress did not come out.
She didn't think much of it at the time, assuming that the young lady had gone back on her own.
When they returned to the banquet, they still couldn't find their young mistress, and that's when they panicked.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhao's expression changed, and he immediately said:
"Don't worry, I'll send someone to look for it right away."
After saying that, he immediately ordered someone to search for the person. Upon hearing this, the group of women exchanged glances.
Such sordid things have happened countless times in the inner quarters; no one knows what really happened this time.
Moreover, the daughter of the Imperial Censor was not very bright, so it was not impossible that she was tricked away.
After such an incident, no one went to rest. Whether they wanted to watch the excitement or were genuinely worried, everyone began searching for the young lady.
Yuan's eldest sister-in-law, standing beside Yuan Zhao, glanced at the fact that it was just the two of them before lowering her voice to ask:
“The Zhang family only has one daughter, and the couple dotes on her very much.”
Everyone in the capital knew this, so they would take good care of the guests whenever they attended a banquet.
Who on earth is so despicable as to attack a mentally challenged person?
Yuan Zhao frowned and said:
"Let's find the person first."
The eldest sister-in-law of the Yuan family sighed and nodded. For now, this was the only option.
A group of people gradually walked towards the pavilion. Before they got close, they heard an unusual noise.
The man's low breathing combined with the woman's seductive voice caused almost everyone to pause, instantly realizing what had happened at the pavilion.
One of the women couldn't help but say:
"This is out in broad daylight, in the middle of the day! It's utterly shameless..."
"Yeah, this is too..."
The group stopped there, seemingly hesitant about whether to go over.
Just then, the censor's wife and her entourage, who were with Madam Zhou, rushed over upon hearing that their daughter had been in trouble.
Where is my Wei'er?
As soon as the Imperial Censor's wife finished speaking, she heard a commotion coming from the pavilion. Her expression immediately changed, and she pushed aside the crowd and headed in that direction.
Old Madam Zhou also arrived at this time. This time, the smile was gone from her face; she looked coldly at Yuan Zhao:
"How did you handle this?"
If something really happens to Miss Zhang here, the Zhang family will definitely not let it go.
Yuan Zhao was about to speak when his eldest sister-in-law spoke first:
"Grandma, what does this have to do with our Zhaozhao?"
"Besides, the best course of action now is to find out what's really going on."
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Zhou took a deep breath and was about to speak when she heard Madam Zhang exclaim in surprise:
"My lord, it's you?"
