After Madam Shen and Ye Zhen opened their hearts to each other, Madam Shen truly treated Ye Zhen as a friend, and inevitably paid more attention to her at the banquet.
She received the message the moment Ye Zhen knocked over the teacup on the table, wetting his clothes, and glanced at her unintentionally.
Ye Zhen wanted to find her and go out.
The two left the table one after the other.
Upon meeting, Madam Shen asked Ye Zhen, "What is it?"
Ye Zhen took her arm, "I'm craving the sour soup hot pot that Madam mentioned."
Madam Shen narrowed her eyes.
Although the food at the palace banquet was indeed not good, and it was common for people to leave their seats, she did not believe that Ye Zhen was doing this because of his stutter.
Moreover, the direction Ye Zhen led her in was not back to Tingsong Residence, but rather... towards the kitchen?
Thinking that Ye Zhengqing was in charge of the banquet, Madam Shen wondered if Li Chenghai had gone to the kitchen to find Ye Zhengqing again.
Did that bastard Li Chenghai leave his seat?
After thinking about it, she realized she really hadn't noticed.
But since she had already decided to cooperate with Ye Zhen, she didn't ask any more questions.
She never expected to see Su Shi and Ye Zhengqing embracing and kissing.
This was even more shocking than seeing Li Chenghai sleeping with a man, because she had known all along that Li Chenghai was a twisted person.
But how could Su dare to be so strictly controlled by the Xiao family?
She even shares a man with her husband.
Shared!
Aaaaaaahhhhh!
Madam Shen screamed inwardly, "This is too outrageous! I've never seen anything so bizarre in the countryside before!"
This time, Madam Shen covered her mouth.
She was afraid she wouldn't be able to help but scream.
What a load of rubbish!
Does Li Chenghai know?
She turned to look at Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen understood the question in her eyes and nodded.
Madam Shen's eyes widened even more.
She was right to call Li Chenghai a beast.
No, no, Su is a beast too. She even took the initiative to approach Ye Zhengqing.
They usually put on airs, acting like high-class ladies, and even looked down on her and Miao for being unfit for public life. But at least they had some sense of shame. Unlike this Su, who was practically naked and trying to seduce men. It was just too disgusting to look at.
Madam Shen covered her eyes, her fingers spread wide, so wide that it seemed her head could fit through them.
"Madam, this is not a suitable place."
Ye Zhengqing made excuses to Su.
He had finally been promoted and wanted to perform well to get further promotions. He didn't want to do anything with the Su family here. If they were discovered, his future would be ruined.
But Su refused.
Her clothes were slightly open, and she was wearing a strapless dress today. She placed Ye Zhengqing's hand directly on her chest and said, "You've been avoiding me lately. Where did you go this afternoon? I couldn't find you."
How could Ye Zhengqing dare to tell the truth? He made up an excuse that he was busy with official business, and then said, "Madam, this is not the place to talk. Please go back first, and I will come to find you later, okay?"
Judging from Su's attire today, he knew what she was up to. After going into the mountains with Li Chenghai, he was too exhausted to deal with her. He could only try to coax her back first and then figure out a solution later.
Before Su could respond, a loud shout rang out, "Who's there?"
Ye Zhengqing panicked and quickly pushed Su away.
Madam Su panicked. She recognized Madam Shen's voice and knew that if she were discovered by her, she would be finished.
The people who were just entangled suddenly scattered and fled like startled birds.
Ye Zhen whispered a few words to Madam Shen and then followed Ye Zhengqing.
Madam Shen chased after Madam Su, shouting, "Stop! How dare you commit such an illicit act on His Majesty's estate! Who are you, and who is the man you're having an affair with?"
Her voice was so loud that it immediately alerted the servants in the kitchen.
"Madam, what has happened?"
Madam Shen chased after Madam Su, saying, "This woman just had a secret rendezvous with a man here, and it seems she's plotting to kill her husband. Everyone, please help catch her and don't let her succeed."
If you dare to lay a hand on her Suihuan, don't blame her for framing you for murdering your husband.
That bastard Li Chenghai lets his wife and her man hang out together, and the three of them seem to be getting along quite well.
My friend said that to defeat the enemy, you must first disintegrate them from within. She wants to see if they can still stick together after today.
But she didn't run very fast, as if she was old and her legs were not very strong. When the servants heard her say this, they all followed her.
Terrified, Madam Su fled with all her might to the Lantai Courtyard.
Madam Shen smiled, her eyes crinkling. She stopped chasing and turned to run towards the banquet.
Back at the banquet, she sat down next to Prime Minister Li with a look of panic, picked up the wine in front of him, and gulped it down in one go.
He seemed unable to calm down, and was panting heavily.
Prime Minister Li frowned. His wife's behavior was very undignified, but it would be equally undignified for him to reprimand her at the banquet.
But Madam Xiao was considerate and knew best how to guess Li Xiangguo's thoughts. She smiled and said to Madam Shen, "Sister, this is His Majesty's banquet. You should at least consider the reputation of the Prime Minister's residence."
Madam Shen sneered inwardly, "You have such a pair of beastly sons and daughters-in-law, and you still want to save face."
But he looked uneasy and said to Prime Minister Li, "I just went to the kitchen to get some food for Suihuan and her daughter. I encountered a bit of an accident on the way. Prime Minister, it seems I've gotten into trouble."
Li Suihuan was injured, so she asked Miao to stay and take care of her daughter. As a result, neither mother nor daughter attended the banquet, which is a good excuse now.
When Madam Xiao heard that her sister had gotten into trouble, her eyes lit up, but her face showed worry. "What mistake has my sister made this time? Could it have implicated the Prime Minister?"
She then said to Prime Minister Li, "My sister probably didn't do it on purpose. Your Excellency must clean up the mess for her."
In his heart, however, he was secretly praying that the old hag would cause a mess that the Prime Minister couldn't handle, and that the Prime Minister would be so angry that he would send them back to their hometown, so that the Prime Minister's mansion would belong to her son.
