A large group of female guests followed the maid. Cen Jie originally wanted to quietly pull Liu Zhi aside and ask Wei Jiao what kind of trouble she was up to and why she hadn't been informed in advance.
But she was surrounded by several ladies chatting with her, so she couldn't find a moment to herself.
Or perhaps these people sensed Cen Jie's worries and deliberately prevented her from communicating with the maid, waiting to see what surprises awaited her.
When they arrived at the East Garden, Cen Jie saw that there were no maids guarding the outside of the courtyard, nor was anyone there to inform them, and she immediately became a little nervous.
"Why isn't there even a servant guarding the gate? What on earth is your young lady doing?" Cen Jie said irritably.
Liu Zhi shrank back slightly after being scolded, and immediately replied softly, "It was Miss who asked me to inform Madam. I don't know what surprise she has prepared."
"Everyone, Jiaojiao might be fooling around, let's not—"
For some reason, Cen Jie's eyelids suddenly twitched, and a sense of foreboding welled up in her heart.
She had always believed in these things, and immediately backed down.
Now that everyone has come this far, they naturally won't go back easily. They all offered their advice: "Madam Wei, you're being too modest. Jiaojiao has always been a good child; she knows what she's doing."
"Quickly, I'm so excited! If you want to go back, you go back first, let's go inside!"
"Since we're already here, we should at least take a look."
After being persuaded by everyone, Cen Jie could not resist and had no choice but to have the courtyard gate opened.
As the group entered the courtyard, before they even got close to the house, they heard a woman's soft voice.
"Cousin, don't do this. Aunt will be angry if she finds out!"
"What's the big deal? Your parents both want you to marry me. As for my mother, I'll persuade her."
The sounds of men and women moaning and groaning drifted over, and apart from some unmarried young girls who were still a bit confused, the other female guests immediately understood.
Everyone gasped in surprise and turned to look at the Cen sisters.
The Cen sisters were all stunned for a moment, then their faces turned gloomy and ugly. Cen Jie's face even turned a little pale. She swayed her body, looking like she was about to collapse.
"This...this is the surprise Jiaojiao prepared for us?" Someone who loved watching the drama asked directly.
"You guys, see the lady and the young ladies off first!" Cen Jie realized what was happening and immediately arranged for the servants to see the guests off.
But these female guests were unwilling to leave. They had to see this once-in-a-century spectacle clearly.
"Did you hear anything just now? Are those Wei Jiao and Fourth Master Jiang inside?"
"I think so."
Among these noblewomen, several came from very high-ranking families, and it was only through Cen Jie's various means that she managed to curry favor with them. At this moment, they did not care about her feelings at all, but instead began to discuss them.
If they hadn't followed the rules, they should have rushed in right now to see just how pathetic this pair of adulterous lovers were.
"Miss, Miss!" Just then, an old nanny rushed in from outside; it was Granny Yan.
"Madam, where is the young lady?"
"You dare ask me how you, as her wet nurse, took care of her, and why—" Cen Jie's eyebrows shot up in anger the moment she saw her coming, and she immediately demanded.
Before he could finish speaking, a woman's soft moans came from inside the room, so sweet and tingling that they made all the unmarried girls blush.
Even if they didn't understand at first, they now clearly guessed that something romantic was probably going on inside.
Granny Yan's face changed drastically, and she scrambled into the house, shouting, "Miss, you can't! He's your own brother! You can't be so foolish!" (This was the servant saying on purpose, implying that they hadn't succeeded in their affair and she wanted to embarrass them.)
The moment she said that, the noise in the courtyard instantly stopped, and everyone was stunned.
"What older brother? Is the man inside Wei Sheng?"
"How could that be? Didn't Wei Jiao call out 'cousin' several times just now?"
"Yes, I've met the fourth master of the Jiang family. That's his voice, not Wei Sheng's. Wei Jiao isn't stupid; would she really sleep with her own brother?"
"But this old woman is Wei Jiao's wet nurse. She has served the Wei family for so many years. It's impossible for her to say such outrageous things, and she said them so many times. Does she know some unspeakable secrets?"
Granny Yan's cries just now were like a drop of water falling into a pot of boiling oil, instantly creating a huge ripple.
Everyone looked at each other, then immediately turned to Cen Jie.
Cen Jie's face was even darker than a gloomy June day. She gritted her teeth and shouted at the top of her lungs, "You old hag, are you senile? What nonsense are you spouting? Guards, drag her out and beat her to death!"
At that moment, her mind was completely blank.
She had switched the children and lived in constant fear for years, imagining countless scenarios in which she might be exposed, but none of them were as intense as what was happening now.
From the moment she heard the sounds of the two making love, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
She didn't know what to do. She wanted to rush in and pull them apart, but there were onlookers behind her. If she rushed in now, these people would definitely follow her in. They had been wanting to catch them in the act for a long time.
Moreover, judging from the sounds just now, the two of them had probably already consummated their relationship, and even if she tried to stop them, it would probably be too late.
Granny Yan rushed into the room and saw clothes scattered all over the floor and two people intimately on the bed. She quickly stepped forward, shoved Jiang Chengyi over, and grabbed Wei Jiao, trying to drag her out.
"Ah, Granny, what are you doing?" Wei Jiao's hair was pulled hard, and she immediately winced in pain.
Xu Wanying was squeezed at the back, standing on tiptoe and craning her neck to look, but although the door was open, none of these elegant ladies rushed in because Cen Jie was standing in front, making her so anxious that her mouth went dry.
[Your Honor, have you all ever been through drug rehabilitation? Such a huge scandal is right in front of you, and you can't resist going in to see? What are you standing there for? Charge!]
[Waaaaah, System, I'm going to die! The greatest distance in the world is when there's a melon right in front of me, but I can't rush in to see it; I can only stand outside, separated by a wall, and hear the sound.]
She had already started pulling her hair, cursing these rich ladies in her heart.
Are you kidding me? These feudal remnants from ancient times really should be overthrown. Even at this point, they're still clinging to rigid rules.
If this happened in modern times, dozens of people would squeeze in, and it would be like a live broadcast.
Hearing her third daughter-in-law's heart-wrenching cries, Cen Ying didn't hesitate and strode forward, entering the house directly.
With her taking the lead, the others immediately followed suit.
Cen Jie was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She reached out frantically to stop them, her eyes bloodshot: "Cen Ying, are you crazy! All of you, come out, come out!"
"Jiaojiao, take good care of yourself. Cen Ying has led a lot of people in!"
