"Speaking of which, Madam Du is a pitiful person. She's already in such a state, yet she's still thinking about her child."
Another lady quickly chimed in.
“Miss Huo, considering how much Madam Du is protecting your child, even though she has done such a scandalous thing, she is not a threat to you. Why don’t you take her into your household as a concubine for Master Zhu? Wouldn’t that be doing a good deed?” Soon, someone stepped forward and said.
Huo Yunyao was furious when she heard this!
These two shameless women are having an affair in their own family home, and I have to swallow my anger and bring them into my mansion?
“Madam, I was wrong. I was just momentarily blinded by greed. Please forgive me. Qiu Niang is not the kind of person who would flaunt her. Why don’t you take her into your household today? In the future, you two can call each other sisters. Wouldn’t that make your relationship even closer?” Zhu Yunxian thought this was a very good idea.
"Sister, please let me take care of you and Master Zhu from now on!" Du Qiuniang quickly knelt on the ground and begged.
Although her original intention was not to become Zhu Yunxian's concubine, she had no better option at the moment.
Huo Yunyao was so angry that she pointed at the two shameless people who dared to beg for her forgiveness and even wanted to call her sister.
"Zhiwei, do you think Master Zhu can really marry this concubine?" Shen An'an asked with a gossipy look on her face.
"Do you think Miss Huo would allow her to go to the Zhu family?" Li Zhiwei hadn't expected Zhu Yunxian and Du Qiuniang to be so helpful.
Originally, she was worried about how to retaliate against Huo Yunyao, but unexpectedly, these two delivered themselves to her doorstep.
“Miss Huo, it’s normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. You and Madam Du are already like sisters. Now that you two are taking care of Master Zhu together, won’t your relationship become even closer?” A lady who was related to the Zhu family said with a smile.
“That’s right. If we keep these people under our noses, they can’t do anything to us. Even if you take this to the authorities, they probably won’t take it into their hands, will they?” another lady advised kindly.
Huo Yunlan frowned; she actually felt that there was some truth to what she was saying.
"Second sister, you wouldn't be so stupid as to let her in, would you?" Huo Yunzhi asked, clearly displeased.
If we really do that, Chen Lang will follow suit in the future, and how embarrassing will that be for me?
Huo Yunyao gritted her teeth and glared at Zhu Yunxian, angrily saying, "Zhu Yunxian, how dare you say such shameless things? Humph, you've been trying to fool me with this thing for five years. Do you dare tell everyone where my child is?"
Huo Yunyao angrily pointed at Zhu Maosheng next to Du Qiuniang and questioned him.
The ladies who had originally wanted to persuade Huo Yunyao all turned their attention to Zhu Maosheng standing to the side.
One question mark remained in my mind: Could it be that Miss Huo's intention was that this child was actually born to Zhu Yunxian and Du Qiuniang?
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunxian was startled. Had the secret been exposed?
The ladies, who had just learned the whole story, stood aside, watching everything with disdain.
When Xu Heming arrived at Jiyun Manor, the news of Li Zhiwei's affair with someone in the backyard had already spread like wildfire throughout the city.
All of this was arranged in advance by Huo Yunyao.
"Have you heard? Just now, the eldest daughter of the Li family was caught having an affair in the backyard?"
"I heard that he's a beggar. I don't know how bad Miss Li's taste is. She doesn't want such a good person as Young Master Huo, but instead falls for a stinking beggar." Another lady said with a look of disdain.
"Who knows if they have some special hobby? Maybe they just like the smell of that beggar?" The two of them said, and couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.
It was as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes.
Xu Heming clenched his fists. He couldn't believe Li Zhiwei would do such a thing. Someone must be framing him!
