The little maid was kicked to the ground and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy.
"This slave doesn't know..."
Everyone looked through the open door and saw no one else except a disheveled strange woman.
How could the lifelike person described before turn into someone else in the blink of an eye?
The woman was also frightened by the people in the room and screamed. She pulled the quilt aside and wrapped it around herself, pointing at Li Xutang and scolding him.
"Who are you? Who asked you to break in?" He sounded like the master of the house.
Her voice was sharp and harsh, attracting the attention of everyone outside the room.
She draped the clothes on her side randomly around her body, her jade feet touched the ground, and the bells at her ankles made a crisp sound.
Li Xutang was a little confused. Before he could react, he was slapped on the face.
"How dare you disturb me even when I'm sleeping? Has anyone ever taught you the rules?"
She regarded Li Xutang as a servant, and Li Xutang jumped angrily.
She stretched out her hand to slap him back, but as soon as she slapped her hand out, the person opposite held her wrist.
The other party pulled hard, and Li Xutang stumbled and fell on the bed.
Madam Jing'an Hou in the room saw it and stepped forward to say.
"Miss, if you have something to say, please speak slowly and don't make a move."
The woman glanced at Madam Jing'an Hou and said arrogantly.
"So what if I do it? I am the second young mistress of the Marquis of Ning'an Mansion. If I beat a servant, is it your turn to point fingers?"
These words were like stirring up a huge boulder on the calm lake. The sound was loud enough that even the ladies watching the excitement outside heard it.
"Second Young Mistress?"
Mrs. Jing'an Hou looked at the confused person on the bed and asked again uncertainly.
"Are you sure you are the second young lady of Ning'an Hou Mansion?"
"But isn't the Second Young Mistress Mrs. Li?"
The woman listened to Mrs. Jing'an Hou's words and sneered disdainfully.
"That was before, and now this lady's title is mine!"
The woman stroked her messy temples complacently, and raised her eyebrows high above her head as she glanced at the Marquis of Jing'an and the British princess-in-law beside her who were somewhat confused about the situation.
Finally, he glanced at the extremely embarrassed Li Xutang behind him and asked arrogantly.
"Is there anything else you don't understand? If not, please get out!"
Li Xutang reacted, stood up and rushed towards the woman.
"What nonsense are you talking about..."
The woman was unprepared, and her arm was grabbed by her. She swayed and almost fell down.
At the last moment, Li Xutang was slapped on the face again.
Li Xutang was furious and wanted to fight back, but the woman had anticipated it and pushed him to the ground.
When the Marquis of Jing'an and the British Duke-in-law saw this scene, they both retreated tacitly. The British Duke-in-law even kindly called the maid outside to separate the two.
"If you have something to tell me, why are there two young ladies from the Ning'an Marquis' Mansion? It's really confusing."
After being pulled away by the maid, the woman spat at Li Xutang arrogantly.
"It's really unlucky that a servant dared to attack the master, but he turned against me!"
She said she was the master, and Li Xutang was the servant. It almost drove Li Xutang crazy.
Li Xutang angrily threw away the maid who was supporting him, and wanted to rush forward. At this moment, Mrs. Lu walked in.
"What are you talking about?"
Originally, the old lady planned to wait until there was enough trouble here before stepping forward to make the decision for Si Wan.
She knew what happened today and acquiesced to everything.
I didn't expect the maid to come and report that Si Wan was not in the house, but a strange woman came out of nowhere.
The old lady secretly thought something was wrong and hurriedly ran to stabilize the situation, but it was still a step too late.
Seeing Li Xutang whose cheeks were red from being beaten, and then looking at the arrogant woman on the other side, the old lady felt a headache.
"what happened?"
The woman first looked at the old lady, saw that she was well-dressed, and vaguely guessed her identity, so she straightened her clothes and messy hair, stepped forward and introduced herself.
"Greetings to the old lady, my name is Honglian, and I am your son's wife."
When everyone heard this name, they all took a breath.
Honglian, isn’t this the name of the bustard of Hongluan Tower?
But how could this brothel madam appear in the Ning'an Marquis Mansion and call herself the Second Young Mistress? Could it be that she had the same name?
The old lady was also confused, but she knew better than Li Xutang how to stabilize the current situation.
"Okay, I understand, Xu Tang, please go back with all the ladies first. Today is the day for our banquet at the Marquis of Ning'an Mansion. Don't neglect all the ladies."
The old lady avoided the important matter and ignored the woman at all. It was more like she didn't hear the woman's introduction.
Li Xutang didn't understand the old lady's intention.
"Mother, she pretended to be me..."
The old lady knew that she was not clear-headed, so she gave her a warning look and let the woman beside her pull her out.
But the woman said, "Pretending to be you, are you Li Xutang?"
Originally, the old lady wanted to make the matter a trivial matter, but afterwards she said that the woman was hysterical and ran into their house while there were many people. After the banquet, they sent the person back and suppressed the matter.
But now this woman actually mentioned Li Xutang's name directly. If she wanted to use hysteria, she might be able to suppress the matter.
The old lady urged Li Xutang to leave quickly, but the woman blocked their way first.
She stood at the door, and the ladies outside finally saw her back.
She has a slender figure, and her every move is full of charm, and she unconsciously plays with her appearance with every move she makes.
Everyone has seen the world, and girls from good families may not be able to do this, and even married wives will not be so pretentious.
Everyone had their guesses in their minds, but they didn't say they were holding it back and continuing to watch the show.
When the old lady saw that something was wrong, she wanted to stop her again, but the woman had already spoken first.
"Who do I think you are? It turns out you are Li Xutang. Zhiyuan hasn't told you yet. Soon he will marry me and divorce you."
She cast her eyes on Li Xutang's left hand hanging by her side again, and curled her lips in disgust.
"I heard that you were injured by the demon fire last time, and this hand may have been disabled. Zhiyuan always said that looking at your hand makes you feel sick,"
"Tsk, tsk, now it seems that it really makes people unable to eat..."
"If you are sensible, go away. Don't let Zhiyuan drive you out of the hall and make it so ugly."
Li Xutang was stimulated and rushed forward like crazy, "You bitch!"
Being pushed away by Hong Lian, Li Xutang fell back and happened to bump into the old lady behind him.
The old lady is so weak that she would never have gone out if she hadn't watched a show today.
He had to be supported when walking, so he fell to the ground without any accident.
What the older people were most afraid of was falling, and their heads hit the short table beside them, leaving a large amount of blood.
Immediately his vision went dark and he fainted.
The room was in chaos, and the maid's shouts filled the entire Ning'an Marquis Mansion.
Lu Zhiyuan came over after hearing the news. When he saw the disheveled Hong Lian, his breathing tightened, and when he saw the two people lying on the ground, his blood surged and he yelled at the servants on the side.
"What are you still doing? Go and call the doctor..."
