Part 1 - The Double / Marriage of the Di Daughter

☆ Chapter 084 Chaos

"Madam, something happened to the young master!"

Madam Ningyuan was startled and asked sternly, "What happened? Why are you so panicked?"

The maid was about to speak, but she saw the surprised eyes of the ladies around Madam Ningyuan, and she couldn't say anything immediately. She just blushed and stammered, as if it was difficult to speak.

Madam Ningyuan saw the maid's mood, and her heart ‘clicked’ as if a heavy stone was dropped, sinking heavily.

Since it was about her fiancé, Jiang Youyao couldn't help it, and stepped forward and asked, "What happened to Prince Zhou?"

The maid seemed to have just seen Jiang Youyao, and she was even more panicked. She avoided Jiang Youyao's questioning, but her eyes fell faintly on Mrs. Yang.

Mrs. Yang was a little confused, but Ji Shuran suddenly glanced at Jiang Li, and seeing Jiang Li standing openly with a smile on her lips, a terrible idea filled her mind.

"No matter what," Madam Ningyuan Hou didn't care about anything, and just said to the maid: "Where is the young master? Take me there quickly!"

The maid's voice was filled with tears, saying: "The master and others are in Yuxiu Pavilion... There are many adults accompanying, Madam... The young master is in trouble this time!"

She didn't say it very clearly, but everyone saw the maid's appearance and understood a little. If it was simply not good, why would she hide it so much? Saying it was not good was clearly a scandal. Since there were many adults accompanying, it was okay not to know for a while. Going back to the mansion to ask the master, she would naturally know what it was.

Hearing this, Madam Ningyuan Hou swayed and almost fell down. She had also been the mistress of the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion for many years. From the maid's expression, she probably knew what had happened. But when she heard that there were many people present, she immediately felt bad. Since it was a scandal, the fewer people knew about it, the better. But the more people saw it, the more impossible it would be to cover it up in the future.

Jiang Li stood beside Ji Heng with a gentle smile on her face. It was either Zhou Yanbang who was stupid or Zhou Yanbang was too bold. Emperor Hong Xiao and his ministers were chatting about current affairs in a side hall not far from Yuxiu Pavilion. The two sides were so close that once Shen Ruyun made a fuss, these adults would certainly be able to arrive in the shortest time to find out what was going on.

In this way, Zhou Yanbang's affairs were known to the whole court, and her efforts were not in vain.

Ji Heng looked at the smile on Jiang Li's lips and found it interesting, but he also stood calmly like her, just touching her lips with the handle of the fan to cover the smile on the corner of her mouth.

Jiang Youyao didn't think so much. She was too concerned and didn't care about anything else because it was about Zhou Yanbang. She just said, "Yuxiu Pavilion? Madam, I'll go with you, mother," she pulled Ji Shuran's sleeve, "Let's go and have a look together!"

Ji Shuran wanted to cover Jiang Youyao's lips. Others wouldn't think anything of what Jiang Youyao said. In the Yan Dynasty, it's understandable for engaged men and women to be intimate. But those ladies guessed the hidden feelings, and when they looked at Jiang Youyao, they had some sympathy in their eyes.

Ji Shuran was in a dilemma of whether to go or not after what Jiang Youyao said. Madam Liu spoke slowly, saying, "No matter what, staying here is not a solution. You should all go back home after the banquet. Let's go to the water corridor first. It's getting late, so let's go home."

But she gave Ningyuan Hou's son a way out.

Liu Xu turned her head away disdainfully. If it were her, she would not give these people a way out, but would rather see with her own eyes what was going on.
