Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed; none of them had expected that the person on the other side of the pavilion was actually the Marquis.
Madam Zhou was even more shocked. She subconsciously looked at Yuan Zhao, only to find that Yuan Zhao was looking at her with a slight expression.
Her lips moved as if she were about to say something, but then Madam Zhang said again:
And who are you?
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.
When we first heard the noise, everyone thought that Miss Zhang had been tricked into coming here, but now it seems that wasn't the case.
Or was Mrs. Zhang trying to exonerate her daughter?
Just as everyone was filled with speculation, Bai Lu, who was beside Yuan Zhao, led a woman over. That woman was none other than Miss Zhang.
"Miss Zhang? Where did you find her?"
When Yuan's eldest sister-in-law saw Miss Zhang, she was overjoyed and quickly asked her questions.
"Replying to Madam, Miss Zhang chased the butterfly into your courtyard. I happened to be there, so I brought her here."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked enlightened, and no one doubted Bai Lu's words.
Everyone knows that Ms. Zhang is mentally unstable, so it's not surprising that she chased after a butterfly.
However, since Miss Zhang is here perfectly fine, then who is the person in that pavilion?
Just as everyone was thinking this, they heard the commotion from the pavilion getting louder and louder, and Madam Zhang returned with a livid face after hearing that her daughter had come back.
Seeing that her daughter was safe and sound, she finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
She glanced coldly at Old Madam Zhou and said:
"I have now witnessed firsthand the family traditions of the Marquis's household."
Old Mrs. Zhou's old face was about to break down.
Everyone else looked embarrassed; who knew it was Zhou's father causing trouble here?
In broad daylight, in front of everyone, this person is utterly shameless.
The problem is that they're all here, and things aren't quiet over there either; they're drunk. This is just too shameless.
"Everyone, please come with me to rest first."
Yuan Zhao spoke softly.
Hearing this, everyone else looked at Yuan Zhao with pity. Having such a father-in-law was truly shameful.
The people were not interested in the Marquis's romantic affairs; as long as the women were not their own, they didn't care.
It must be that Zhou's father, after drinking, was having sex with the maids in the mansion.
Just as they were about to leave, the commotion from the pavilion grew louder and louder. This time, their figures were fully revealed, and everyone could clearly see their faces and figures.
"ah!"
Several people gasped in surprise, their faces filled with shame and annoyance, feeling utterly shameless.
Seeing this, Old Madam Zhou was on the verge of fainting.
But that's not the worst part.
What happened next was even more devastating. The eldest sister-in-law of the Yuan family exclaimed in shock:
"Isn't that woman his mistress?"
Upon hearing this, many people looked at Yuan Zhao.
Many people knew that the heir of the Yongning Marquis's mansion had returned with his concubine and her son. Although they had never met Bai Mianmian, it didn't mean they were unaware of the matter.
Yuan's eldest sister-in-law and the Zhou family were related by marriage, so she had naturally met the mistress.
Therefore, it should be correct.
At this moment, Yuan Zhao's face was filled with shock and astonishment, and she stammered:
"How could this be? How could my father-in-law..."
She had barely finished speaking when she realized what was happening and quickly shut her mouth.
However, sometimes everyone understands the meaning whether it's said or not, especially when only half of it is said, which can prove the truth even more.
Yuan Zhao forced a smile:
"Let's go and rest first."
The crowd echoed a few times, but just then, something even more astonishing happened. Zhou Shiyuan suddenly appeared, and he clearly saw the scene on the other side of the pavilion. His expression immediately changed drastically.
"Bai Mianmian, how dare you!"
If Yuan Zhao's half-sentence was a circumstantial confirmation, then Zhou Shiyuan's offhand remark was irrefutable proof.
Everyone's faces showed expressions of astonishment and disbelief, while Old Madam Zhou suddenly fainted.
Before she fainted, she had only one thought in her mind: this time it's all over!
