The second wife asked her maid Siyu to call a few old women over and tie up Li Po's hands and feet.
The birthday banquet is almost over now. After the guests leave, I will hand it over to the old lady.
Xia Tian waited in the yard for a while, then came over with Ningxiang.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw so many people and asked in surprise, "Why are all the ladies in this yard? If you want to rest, go to the next yard. There are hot water and snacks ready there.
I just heard the commotion from the next yard. What happened?"
Then he saw Mrs. Li tied up and asked curiously, "What happened? Why is Mrs. Li tied up?"
Seeing the surprised look on Mrs. Shen's face, all the ladies looked at her with complicated eyes, as if they were not faking it.
The Second Lady pulled Xia Tian and said embarrassedly, "This Li Po just brought these ladies over here, and without finding out anything, she said you were inside the house."
The Second Lady originally wanted to be on good terms with Xia Tian, ​​so naturally she wouldn't hide anything for Mrs. Li.
"Hmm? Granny Li was right. She was the one who helped me into the house. I was a little dizzy from drinking, so Ningxiang went to get me some water, and Granny Li helped me into the house.
"It's just the house in the next yard. It turns out that Mrs. Li led you ladies in the wrong direction!" Xia Tian explained seriously.
The other ladies looked at her with even more complicated expressions.
The second wife was anxious and didn't know how to start.
Madam Xu came out of the crowd and said to Xia Tian, ​​"Madam Shen Shizi, when this old woman brought us here just now, she started by saying that you were sorry to Shen Shizi. When we entered the house, we saw Master Xu inside."
As Mrs. Xu spoke, she pointed at Xu Jun who was still sitting on the bed.
Xia Tian was confused for a moment before pretending to understand. He immediately asked angrily, "Mrs. Li, are you saying that I'm having an affair in there?"
Mrs. Xu nodded sympathetically.
Xia Tian immediately became angry, rolled up his sleeves with both hands, walked quickly to Mrs. Li, and kicked her over with one kick.
She cursed, "You good old lady Li, I thought you were kind enough to help me into the house, but you didn't expect me to be harmed. Fortunately, you went to the wrong yard, otherwise I would have been harmed by you!"
Then he stepped forward and kicked her again, asking her harshly, "Tell me, who told you to do this?"
Mrs. Li didn't dare to say a word at this moment.
Xia Tian turned around angrily and looked at Xu Jun who was sitting on the bed. "Tell me, was it you who asked Mrs. Li to do this?"
Xu Jun was shocked by Xia Tian's series of actions. He didn't expect that Xia Tian was such a hot-tempered girl who would start fighting as soon as they disagreed with each other.
Judging from the situation, if he dares to say yes today, I guess he will even be beaten.
Xu Jun quickly distanced himself from the matter. "It wasn't me, my cousin's wife. I was also tricked by that damn old woman. I was drunk, and she brought me to this room and then left. I didn't meet anyone in this room. Until these ladies came in, I was sleeping alone in the room."
Xia Tian looked at the other ladies suspiciously, and everyone nodded.
The lady who came in first said, "Yes, Mr. Xu was the only one in the room when we came in."
"It's nothing. It was this old woman who deliberately misled us, saying that you were also in the room." Another lady continued.
"Yes, we didn't take it seriously at first, but this woman started crying and wailing and started throwing dirty water on you."
"Yeah, yeah, if she hadn't yelled, we wouldn't have been curious enough to come in and take a look."
The ladies explained in a flurry, fearing that the wife of Prince Shen and Second Madam Shen would misunderstand that they had come here on purpose to make fun of themselves.
Xia Tian's expression eased slightly, and he bowed to the ladies before saying, "Thank you ladies for believing in me and giving me proof. Otherwise, I would have been ruined by this old lady Li today."
As Xia Tian spoke, tears began to fall.
Madam Xu quickly took Xia Tian's hand and comforted him, "We are all discerning people. It's impossible for us to be led astray by a woman. I will testify for you about this matter today. I will also go to see your old lady later."
Madam Xu is the wife of Prime Minister Xu, so her testimony for herself is quite important.
Xia Tian wiped her tears and forced a smile, "Thank you, Mrs. Xu."
Mrs. Xu patted Xia Tian's hand to reassure her.
The second wife thought it was inappropriate for a group of people to be crowded here, so she asked someone to take these ladies to the next yard to rest.
At this time, County Master Yunying in the room had woken up, her complexion had returned to normal, and she was eating snacks being served by Bishui.
Bishui immediately told what had just happened.
County Master Yunying was also frightened.
After all, she is a girl. If she loses her innocence, her life will be over.
Seeing that her county lady looked unhappy, Bishui quickly comforted her and told her to pretend that she knew nothing.
By the time these ladies arrived, County Master Yunying had regained her composure.
When these ladies saw that County Lady Yunying was also there, they greeted her, sat for a while, and then dispersed.
Mrs. Xu did not leave. Seeing that County Master Yunying looked a little listless today, she asked curiously, "Why does County Master Yunying look so listless today?" She was no longer as arrogant as before.
The Yunying County Master's body stiffened, and Bishui quickly replied, "Madam Xu, my County Master drank too much fruit wine today, and she's still feeling a little uncomfortable."
Madam Xu nodded. "Although the fruit wine tastes sweet, it has a strong aftertaste. You little girls shouldn't drink too much!"
Bishui nodded, "Thank you, Madam Xu. I will keep an eye on my county mistress from now on."
Mrs. Xu just chatted casually and didn't think too much about it.
