Chapter 203 Caught in the Act at a Grave
Some of the older escorts, who had long since married and had children, recognized the sound.
I was hesitating whether to stop them from going.
Zhao Jiu had already led Xiao Xuanjing ahead; it was too late.
Beside a newly formed burial mound, two naked bodies embraced, with the sky as their back and the earth as their mat.
Xiao Xuanjing's chest heaved violently, his teeth clenched, veins bulging on his forehead, and he clenched his fists tightly, looking as furious as if he wanted to kill someone.
"Damn it! Who are you? Why are you doing such a despicable thing in front of my mother's grave? She is being buried today, and this whole hill is so big, why can't you go somewhere else? Why do you have to disturb her peace? I'll kill you all!"
The two people on the ground, who were sprinting, were startled awake. They looked at each other in confusion and quickly realized that they had been tricked.
He quickly pushed the other person away, straightened his clothes, grabbed some clothes that were lying on the ground and haphazardly put them on, running quickly to the other side as he did so.
"Stop!" Xiao Xuanjing was furious and chased after him despite his injuries.
He had only taken two steps when he ran out of energy and couldn't keep up. He grabbed Zhao Jiu and said, "Go after them! We need to see which shameless person it is. It would be best if everyone in the group knew about it, so that everyone would know that they are shameless bastards."
Zhao Jiu drew his sword and gave chase, shouting, "Stop! Don't run!"
Ye Hongying had been tormented several times, but her legs were still weak and she couldn't run fast.
Duan Qingyun grabbed her and ran, not wanting to be discovered having an affair with a married woman, so they ran faster and faster.
"Ah!" Ye Hongying twisted her ankle, fell to the ground, and was dragged for a meter or two. Her arm was scratched by the dry branches on the ground. "Ouch!"
Duan Qingyun ignored her and ran forward, but she grabbed his ankle and he fell heavily to the ground with a "bang!"
She clung tightly to the man's ankle, refusing to let go. "You can't leave me behind and take me with you."
Duan Qingyun knew that if she was arrested, he would also be implicated. He got up, grabbed her arm, and rushed down the mountain.
Zhao Jiu had already caught up. "Stop! Don't run! You two despicable bastards! The seventh day after his death hasn't even passed yet, and you're already doing such shameless things on his grave. You'll be struck by lightning sooner or later."
The more he shouted, the faster the people in front ran, and it looked like he was about to be left behind.
A pebble suddenly flew from the shadows and struck Duan Qingyun's knee.
"Bang!" He cried out in pain and fell to his knees, unable to stop, tumbling down the hillside with Ye Hongying in tow. "Ahhh!!!"
Zhao Jiu slid down the hillside, drew his sword, and aimed it at the two men on the ground. Yan Wanshan and the others leisurely followed, ready to watch the show, and surrounded the two men.
A guard holding a torch approached, trying to see the two people's faces clearly. Ye Hongying was so frightened that she covered her face with her arm.
Xiao Xuanjing was also dragged over by the arms by two guards.
Yan Wanshan and the others tapped the arms that were covering their faces with their swords. "Oh, now you know how to be shy. You were making all sorts of noises just now, and all the birds and beasts nearby were too embarrassed to fly away."
"You've already done it, and now you're too ashamed to show your face? You're like a prostitute trying to maintain a virtuous image? Put your hands down!"
"Just put your hand down."
"Get out of my way! This is our private matter."
"Xiao Xuanjing, you just said you heard her voice. Is she your wife?"
"No, she's not Hongying. Hongying is my wife. How could she have an affair with another man at my mother's grave?"
Yan Wanshan became interested as soon as he heard this, and ordered a servant to remove their hands from their faces.
Zhao Jiu pointed at the person on the ground and shouted excitedly, "Hey, hey, isn't that your wife, Ye Hongying?"
Xiao Xuanjing had been severely beaten, and after climbing the mountain, he was exhausted. His eyelids were too heavy to open, and he couldn't see the person in front of him clearly.
Deep down, he didn't want to believe his wife would do something so shameless, and shook his head: "No, it wasn't her..."
Zhao Jiu shook her head helplessly. He'd seen it all with his own eyes and was still deceiving himself; he deserved to be cheated on. She quickly raised her hand and slapped him several times, "Slap slap slap!!!"
After hitting him, she grabbed his chin and dragged him in front of Ye Hongying, making him see clearly, "Are you awake now? Open your eyes and see clearly if she is your wife? You still falsely accused Princess Zhaoxue of killing your mother? I think your mother was most likely killed by her."
Xiao Xuanjing regained consciousness and saw Ye Hongying's magnified face.
The flush on her face still lingered, a clear indication that she had just experienced a passionate encounter.
“Hong, Hongying, how could it be you? How could you have an affair with another man, especially in front of my mother’s grave?”
Unable to accept his wife's betrayal and the disrespect shown to her mother, Xiao Xuanjing knelt down, dug his hands into his hair, and tore at it violently, his scalp taut as if he were about to rip it off, letting out a beast-like howl, "Ah!—"
Ye Hongying crawled on her knees and grabbed Xiao Xuanjing's arm. "Xuanjing, Ah Jing, husband, please let me explain. We were tricked. It was that bitch Yun Zhaoxue who tricked me and even made you see it. You are the only one in my heart!"
She cried and confessed, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being useless. She tricked me and I lost my innocence. I'm so sorry, please divorce me."
Xiao Xuanjing was easily fooled by his few words and shook his head, saying, "You were tricked? You are innocent. I will not divorce you. You are the only wife I have ever chosen in this life."
Before long, a large crowd of onlookers began to walk up the mountain.
Old Liao, the leader, asked with a dark face, "What's going on?"
Zhao Jiu briefly recounted everything they had just seen.
Following behind Lao Liao, Yun Zhaoxue heard Ye Hongying 'slander' her for scheming, "You, Ye Hongying, you were already using Xiao Xiuning's name to get close to that Duan guy, you two have been together for a long time, haven't you?"
"You think you can just throw mud at me like that after you find out? Am I a garbage can? Why are you throwing everything at me? I'll beat you to death, you shameless bastard!"
She kicked the ground, and a porcelain bottle fell out of her sleeve.
Ye Hongying's expression changed drastically when she saw the porcelain bottle. She had already buried the bottle in the ground, so how could it be on her? Without thinking, she quickly rushed over and picked it up.
Yun Zhaoxue was even faster, having already picked it up and opened it for inspection. "What is this? Is there any doctor who knows about this?"
Physician Chen raised his hand and pushed through the crowd to walk toward her. "Princess, let me do it."
