“Mother, why are you here?”
Before the old lady could target Lin Suisui, the moment Marquis Beining came over after hearing Song Minghe’s explanation, he was frightened by the old lady who appeared at the door. When he saw Lin Suisui standing unscathed beside Lu Ze, Marquis Beining felt his knees go weak. If not for Song Minghui reaching out to help him, he would have fallen to the ground.
Fortunately, Song Minghui reached out to support him, which helped him recover some of his senses.
Now wasn’t the time to be angry. The most important thing was to resolve this mess as soon as possible. His intuition told him that if this scandal was exposed, it would be a disaster for their family.
However, if he wanted to achieve his goal, he had to send the old lady away quickly.
Otherwise, with the old lady’s temper, this matter definitely wouldn’t end well.
“Why can’t I come?” The old lady didn’t have the guts to lose her temper at Lu Ze, but towards Marquis Beining, she retorted imposingly, “It’s my birthday today, but someone wants to embarrass me. Can’t I come over and seek justice for myself?”
“Since you want justice, you should throw a tantrum at the people who disturbed your birthday banquet. What’s the point of throwing a tantrum at us, who were implicated?”
After Lin Suisui turned to look at the door, she said with a smile, “Or is that you think I’m easy to bully and want to pick on me?”
“Since all of this is just a misunderstanding, why don’t we disperse today?” Before Lin Suisui could finish speaking, Marquis Beining had a bad feeling.
He knew his mother’s temper the best.
General Wei Bei’s wife was clearly fanning the flames, but his mother was a person who would lose her temper at the slightest provocation.
However, he didn’t dare to imagine who was inside now…
To Marquis Beining, the best solution now was to dismiss everyone here and pretend that this matter had never happened!
As long as this matter wasn’t exposed, everyone could continue to go about their lives in peace.
However, it was obvious that the old lady didn’t appreciate the marquis’s kind intentions.
Without waiting for Lin Suisui to say anything else, the old lady had already called for them to stop and she rushed towards the closed door with her walking stick. “Disperse? How can we disperse just like that?
I want to see who has the guts to do such a despicable thing at my birthday banquet to disgust me!”
Marquis Beining was so anxious that he ignored the fact that there were others present and pounced forward to stop them. However, he was stopped by Su Qi. With this slight delay, the old lady pushed open the closed door. Then, she turned around and ordered the women serving her, “Go, drag out the people inside!”
“Mother, you can’t!” Marquis Beining wailed as he shouted at the old lady as a last ditch effort, “Mother, you’re screwing me over!”
However, it was too late.
When the three people who were making love inside were dragged out in disheveled clothes by a few old women and the guards arranged by Su Qi, all the guests present craned their necks to see, but then they immediately regretted it.
This was because the two women and a man who had been dragged out were none other than the fourth prince, who had always been so high and mighty, and Princess Ning Fu, who had been showing off at the birthday banquet a moment ago. As for the other woman, the moment she looked up at everyone in a daze, everyone around her couldn’t help but gasp.
This woman was none other than the daughter-in-law the old lady had personally chosen for Song Minghe, her nephew’s granddaughter, who should have been detained in the Imperial City’s government office.
“This, this, she…” The old lady didn’t expect that her own people would be caught in the act. What was even more terrifying was that the man she had personally ordered to be caught was actually…
“Tsk, this is really the family’s misfortune.” Lu Ze sneered as he stood up. Then, he turned around and looked at the desperate Marquis Beining regretfully. “Since this matter involves your family, it’s not convenient for us to stay any longer.”
After saying that, he turned around and left with Lin Suisui under the escort of a group of guards.
After such a scandal, anyone who stayed any longer would be a fool.
Therefore, not long after Lu Ze left Marquis Beining’s ministry with Lin Suisui in a carriage, Marquis Beining’s ministry fell into chaos…
“Have you known about this since a long time ago?” Although Lin Suisui didn’t know what was going on, she could guess from the current situation. “Is the mastermind the fourth prince or Princess Ning Fu?”
“Princess Ning Fu.” Lu Ze didn’t hide it from Lin Suisui and explained the entire matter to her. “The fourth prince wanted to set you up, so he found Princess Ning Fu and cast a Bewitching Spell on her.
He told her that it wasn’t impossible for her to become his concubine and enter his backyard, but she has to learn to be obedient and coax him. And the greatest help to her is you.
He promised to give Princess Ning Fu the position of a prince’s concubine if she could persuade you to accompany her to the capital.
Princess Ning Fu also had her own plans. She could tell that the fourth prince was quite interested in you, so if this matter really went smoothly, wouldn’t you threaten her position if the fourth prince treated you better in the future?
Therefore, she thought of this idea.
She wanted to ruin your reputation in public. This way, even if you enter the fourth prince’s inner residence in the future, you won’t be able to compete with her in terms of status because of this.”
When Lin Suisui heard Lu Ze’s story, she wasn’t angry. She just felt that it was a little ridiculous.
“She’s crazy! How can she believe such nonsense?” Lin Suisui shook her head. She really didn’t know what to say about Princess Ning Fu’s actions. However, on second thought, there was something else that couldn’t be explained. “But this is Marquis Beining’s ministry. If she wanted to carry out the plan, who was her accomplice in Marquis Beining’s ministry?”
