Looking at the excited families, Prince Lei felt a headache, but he could only try to persuade him: "Everyone! Calm down, everyone! I'm not trying to stop you, I just want everyone to calm down. Master Xu is already here. He's on his way to the Duke's Mansion, and when he arrives, he will definitely give you an explanation, so just wait!"
Prince Lei was furious because of today's incident. He was about to call his servants to go over and see if anyone from the Xu family was coming. However, he saw a servant running towards him and loudly reporting the news.
"Your Majesty! Mr. Xu is here! Mr. Yang is here too! The two of them are coming this way!"
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Prince Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned to comfort the family: "Please be patient, Mr. Xu is already here. Regarding Miss Xu's matter, we can discuss it with Mr. Xu later. "
The families temporarily became quiet after hearing this. They also knew very well that this matter had nothing to do with the Fengguo government after all, and it was not easy for them to embarrass the Lei family. However, although they temporarily calmed down, they still glared at Xu Caidi angrily. Looking at that look, they must have no intention of doing anything good.
And Yang Hong'an, who had been watching the show from the sidelines from beginning to end, occasionally interjecting a few words, as if he were an outsider, looked at Xu Caidi with eyes full of teasing and the joy of revenge.
What happened today was indeed secretly arranged by Yang Hongan's father, Mr. Yang, but Yang Hongan didn't expect that the final result turned out to be unexpectedly good, which made him even more satisfied, and it was natural for him to be picked clean. .
Although he has a strong background, if he can avoid getting into trouble, who would be willing to cause trouble for himself?
Originally, according to Mr. Yang's arrangement, Yang Hongan himself needed to use the night of the palace banquet to threaten Xu Caidi and lure her into this house to destroy her innocence.
However, Yang Hongan would not let Xu Caidi pass this test so easily. He wanted her to feel the real pain in body and soul!
So not only did he go into battle himself, but he also asked his guards and servants to humiliate Xu Caidi. Seeing Xu Caidi's painful and desperate look, he only felt a headache.
After that, the few servants of the Duke's mansion who had already been arranged, as well as Xu Caidi's maid who was controlled by the Yang family, would come out to testify.
With the testimony of these people, and the fact that he gave himself the drug that made him lose his mind, it is enough for people to point the finger at Xu Caidi.
What Yang Hong'an didn't expect was that Xu Caidi would actually come to his door to cooperate. First, she took the initiative to find him in the afternoon, and even tried to blame all the events of that day on He Jingyao. During the banquet in the evening, it was Xu Caidi who took the initiative. Asking the maid to look for him saved him a lot of trouble.
In addition, He Jingyao's "accidental help" made the matter more logical and made him less suspicious.
Thinking of this, Yang Hongan glanced at He Jingyao, whose eyes were full of joy not far away, and raised his lips to reveal a smile with unknown meaning.
Don't worry, neither of them can escape...
Xia Luotong happened to catch Yang Hongan's gaze, and could tell what Yang Hongan was thinking. At this moment, when he looked at Xu Caidi, he was no longer as showy as before. He was hiding behind the two wives. He looks very cowardly and pitiable.
Xia Luotong couldn't help feeling that neither of these two were good things, but it just happened that the dog bit the dog.
Just as he was thinking this, a series of hurried footsteps came from the other side of the path. When the pedestrians approached, everyone saw their appearance clearly. It was Mr. Xu and Mr. Yang.
The two of them had obviously heard about the general situation on the way here, so when they appeared at the same time, they saw Mr. Xu's face full of embarrassment, while Mr. Yang was so angry that he didn't give Mr. Xu any favors at all. face.
Mr. Xu has been holding back his anger for a long time. He is really angry that he, a second-rank official of the imperial court and one of the six ministers, is now trying to make excuses for his daughter's affairs!
So when Mr. Xu came closer and saw Xu Caidi huddled behind his mother-in-law, he stepped forward and grabbed Xu Caidi without saying a word. In front of everyone present, he raised his hand and said A slap, fast and hard, directly hitting Xu Caidi who had just stood up to the ground again!
Xia Luotong on the side couldn't help but praise him, "What a skill!"
Unexpectedly, Mr. Xu, who is usually so pampered, can have such speed and strength. Sure enough, anger can stimulate potential!
Mr. Xu was still angry after being slapped twice, but he still cared about the image of himself and the Xu family, so he endured it and did not do anything again.
But then, the angry family members couldn't hold back anymore and stepped forward to complain several times.
After hearing this, Mr. Xu's face was full of shock and anger. He obviously didn't expect that besides today's incident, there would be so many old accounts waiting for him. He even looked at Lei Shizi beside him in disbelief to get confirmation, but the result But Prince Lei nodded affirmatively, indicating that what those families said was indeed the truth.
At this time, Mr. Xu finally couldn't help but take action!
He kicked Xu Caidie hard several times, which only made Xu Caidie scream in pain, crawling and hiding on the ground. However, even though Xu Caidie looked quite miserable at this time, there was no one. People expressed sympathy for her, and no one even came forward to dissuade her.
Based on what Xu Caidi has done, who would think that she is innocent and cute and needs protection now? I'm afraid I will only think that Xu Caidi is truly evil!
In fact, Master Xu beat Xu Caidi on the spot, not only because he was really angry, but also because he wanted to show it to Mr. Yang and several other family members. He mainly wanted to express his attitude and let them know that he would definitely treat Xu Caidi. Severe punishment will not be tolerated, and I hope they will not embarrass themselves and the Xu family too much later.
Xu Caidi's cries were sharp and harsh, and the families only felt happy, but Mr. Yang still had a gloomy face, showing no signs of relaxing at all, and he never even spoke.
When Prince Lei on the side saw this, he just felt that it was really not good-looking, not to mention that this happened in the Duke's mansion.
He thought for a while and took the initiative to speak to the guests who were not involved: "Everyone, I didn't expect that something like this happened at today's banquet. I'm really sorry for disappointing everyone. We will host another banquet at the Duke's Mansion another day. You all are here to be my guests to express your apologies."
As soon as others heard this, they knew that Prince Lei was planning to clear the place to free up space for these families to deal with Xu Caidi's affairs.
Although everyone is curious about how this matter will be handled in the end, they also know that this matter is related to the face of several families, and it is not appropriate for others to keep it, so now that Prince Lei took the initiative to bring it up, everyone also said goodbye one after another.
