The play on stage has come to an end, and Si Wan and Si Ning have not returned yet.
Li Xutang couldn't help but feel worried and asked the maid to go to the side room to check.
The old lady looked sideways and called Li Xutang over.
"What happened?"
Seeing everyone looking at him, Li Xutang raised an awkward smile and hesitated.
"Nothing happened. It's just that Miss Si hasn't come back yet. I'll ask the maid to ask."
The old lady also knew what had just happened and warned her.
"Miss Si is the third young lady's distinguished guest, so you can't neglect her."
She lifted Si Wan up very high and emphasized that she was Si Ning's guest.
Everyone then knew that Si Wan was invited into the house by Si Ning.
This is not surprising. Si Ning had a miscarriage, so it was normal for her sister to come and stay for a few days.
Just as the two of them were saying this, the little maid who had just been sent to check on Si Wan hurried back.
His little face turned red, and when he saw Li Xutang staring over, he knelt on the ground in panic.
"Old madam, something happened to the third young lady..."
When everyone heard the sound, Li Xutang glared at her fiercely again.
"It's so frizzy, so many people are looking at it, it's so embarrassing."
The little maid was scolded and did not dare to take a breath.
The ladies around them all faintly smelled an unusual smell.
Twice in a row, the servants made mistakes...
Otherwise, the master of Ning'an Hou Mansion is incompetent and lets his servants kick his nose in the face.
Otherwise, something is going wrong, and there must be a monster.
The nearest Marquis of Jing'an also noticed something was wrong. She didn't say anything, but just winked at the British princess with a worried look on her face.
Both of them felt that this incident was directed at Si Ning, and they wondered if she had any precautions in advance.
Just as he was thinking about it, his thoughts were interrupted by Li Xutang.
She scolded the maid on the ground, not caring about the strange looks from the people around her.
You must know that in such an occasion, no matter how big something happens, the owner, as the owner, will hope that the big thing will be reduced to a trivial matter, and it is impossible to reprimand the maid in public and cause criticism.
But Li Xutang was very stubborn, and she didn't give up until an acquaintance's wife came forward to comfort her.
"Okay, what happened? Cry, cry, cry, you have disturbed the peaceful banquet!"
Being so frightened, the little maid didn't dare to hide anything and told her what she had just seen.
Because Li Xutang was scolding her in front of her, the little maid was afraid that she would suffer some unreasonable disaster, so she spoke in extra detail.
"This slave was originally ordered to call the third young lady and Miss Si, but she didn't want to see Miss Si and... and the third master lying together. The two seemed to be sleeping. When the slave left, she saw the third young lady at the corner door in the other part of the yard. …”
The voice was neither loud nor quiet, just enough for the ladies in front to hear clearly.
Everyone took a breath, and Li Xutang pretended to scold them again.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Miss Si is a guest invited by the third young lady. How could she do such a thing? She is her biological sister. Do you want to say that the third young lady wants to harm her biological sister?"
"I'm so arrogant to you slaves on weekdays, letting you talk nonsense all day long!"
At first, the maid's words only made people surprised, but after Li Xutang explained it, they became darker and darker, and they succeeded in making people feel that Si Ning was planning all this.
Thinking about it this way, even her invitation to Si Wan to stay for a while became unusual.
It's like it was planned in advance.
If it was really all Si Ning's hand that pushed her sister to her husband's bed, what on earth would she do?
None of the ladies present were familiar with the twists and turns in the back house, and they guessed what Si Ning was thinking after just a moment's thought.
It seems that there are rumors in the outside world that Lu Hanxiao is very fond of this lady, but it may not be true. If he is really doted on, why would he use his own sisters to help win her over?
It's just that it's too late for Si. If such a good girl is married, she will probably only be a concubine.
How could someone as proud as her endure this humiliation?
How wicked!
Everyone was thinking this, and the old lady had already spoken out.
"Why fight with a little girl? Go and see what's going on."
Li Xutang got the order and led a group of people to the backyard.
The other ladies stared at him, wondering whether they should follow him.
The old lady seemed to have read everyone's thoughts and nodded towards the little maid beside her, who helped her stand up.
"Everyone, I'm feeling a little tired. Let's go back and take a short rest. You can do your own thing and let my eldest daughter-in-law accompany you."
After she left, the ladies present, who had nothing left to keep, followed her to the backyard to watch the fun.
The Marquis of Jing'an and the British Princess also stood up, and they fell behind the crowd. The British Princess asked worriedly.
"Mrs. Luo, what should we do now? If this hat is really placed on Aning's head, it will be an unjust death."
Not to mention that Si Ning couldn't hold his head up, even Lu Hanxiao would become a joke in the capital.
It's so embarrassing to introduce a woman to your husband and then be caught in public.
How will Si Ning live his life in the future?
"Let's take a look first before talking." Mrs. Jing'an Hou was calm.
She felt that Si Ning might not fall into a trap. Even if he did fall into a trap, she would find a way to keep her out of it.
Thinking like this, my steps became a little faster.
When everyone arrived, Li Xutang had already opened the door and walked inside.
She deliberately left the door wide open so that everyone could clearly see the scene inside.
Sure enough, there was a disheveled woman lying on the bed.
Everyone was shocked and started talking in low voices.
"This is really too much. A nice banquet has ruined this girl's innocence."
"Who says it's not the case? The third young lady seems to be easy to get along with, but why would she do such a nasty thing?"
"Where are the women in the back house looking? Each one is thinking more deeply than the other."
It was so lively outside that Li Xutang raised his lips slightly.
Today is the day of Si Ning's death.
She took the first step to lift the quilt on the bed, but then she was shocked on the spot.
There was Si Wan somewhere under the quilt. It was an unknown woman.
The woman's clothes were wide open and there were hickeys on her body.
Li Xutang was at a loss and stayed in place for a long time without moving.
People outside saw it and didn't know why.
When the Marquis of Jing'an and the British Princess saw it, they walked up to the room. When they saw the person on the bed clearly, they made a sound of surprise.
"This...who is this?"
Not Si Wan, not Si Ning...
No one expected such a result!
Li Xutang forced out an awkward smile. When he turned around and saw a crowd of people in the crowded courtyard, he always had a bad feeling in his heart.
After coming back to his senses, he kicked the maid who reported the news and asked angrily.
"Tell me, what's going on? Didn't you say that Miss Si is here? Where is the person?"
