Chapter 251 – Heir-Apparent Of Prince Nan’An “Caught In Adultery”
The door was pushed open. As was expected by Wei Fengyao, it was quiet in the outer room. Well, it was quite normal that Wei Yuewu would hide inside when she was scared by the male servant!
Moreover, she had specially given the order that if Wei Yuewu was still in the outer room when he came in, he should directly knock her out and then send her to the inner room. No matter what, she was determined to see her husband and Wei Yuewu lying on the same bed today.
Wei Yuewu was not Wei Qiuju. It was impossible for her to be a concubine. Without the interference of Princess Nan’an, Wei Yuewu could only seek to rescue her ruined reputation with death. She did not believe that her grandmother, who highly valued the reputation of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, would leave a way out for Wei Yuewu.
Her younger sister Wei Yan grew up in front of the Madam Dowager and was doted on by her. But in the end, she still ended up like that. Could it be that Wei Yuewu, who had been neglected by the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, could surpass her younger sister?
“Let’s be seated and have a chat and enjoy the scenery!” Shui Morou, the Heiress-apparent of Duke of Jing, said to her company with a smile.
The several people who came over with her were all young madams. They were all born in aristocratic families and were also married to legitimate sons of aristocratic families. They could be considered close friends with equal statuses. Because they had been married, their relations were different from those of the unmarried young ladies, and they gathered together to have a private conversation.
“Eh? Why are there men’s clothes here?” When everyone had been seated, a sharp-eyed maid suddenly saw a dress at the door of the inner room and asked in surprise.
Immediately, everyone looked over.
“Take it here!” As the mistress, the Heiress-apparent of Duke of Jing instructed the maid beside her.
A maid hurriedly ran over to pick up the dress and reported, “Your Heiress-apparent, it really is a man’s dress.”
“This… isn’t this my husband’s?” Wei Fengyao, who was sitting next to Shui Morou, suddenly stood up with a face full of panic.
These words caused the other young madams here to look at each other in consternation. How come the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an actually came to such a quiet place? Didn’t people say that this heir-apparent liked to have fun the most?
“Fengyao, are you sure?” A lady asked.
“Sure. It really is his dress. Someone, look for His Heir-apparent and see if anything bad has happened!” Wei Fengyao stood up anxiously and instructed her maid. She herself also turned around and searched behind the curtains.
Seeing her in such a panic, the other young madams could no longer sit still. One by one, they stood up and joined her in the search. They were also afraid that something bad had really happened to this noble Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an!
“There is a room inside. Will he be there?” After walking around in the outer room and failing to find anything, a young madam suddenly pointed at the door of the inner room and asked.
“Let’s go take a look!” Wei Fengyao had an anxious look on her face. Anyone who saw her like this would feel that she was really worried about the safety of her husband! As soon as she finished speaking, she went over with her maid.
Her maid was quicker and pushed open the slightly closed door. She immediately screamed.
“What happened? What happened to His Heir-apparent?” Wei Fengyao stumbled and almost fell.
“There… there is…” The face of the maid was red all over, and she could not even speak properly.
The two of them had made such a scene that it immediately attracted everyone over.
“Make way!” Wei Fengyao suddently pushed away the maid in front of her. Immediately, the scene in the room appeared in front of everyone.
On the messy bed, the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an was lying on one side of the bed sound asleep.
However, there was also a person sleeping on the other side of the bed. A person whose face could not be clearly seen was being covered by a quilt, revealing only a head with long dark hair. This person was much thinner than the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an. Apparently, this should be a woman.
A woman was sleeping next to the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an…
“Your Heiress-apparent, it’s His Heir-apparent. There… there is a woman beside him!” The maid of Prince Nan’an Mansion was so shocked that she could not even speak properly.
“His Heir-apparent!” Wei Fengyao held the door frame with her hands and almost lost her balance. She looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief and muttered. Her panicked appearance was really pitiful.
“Where did this woman come from? How dare she do such a shameless thing!” A madam was indignant and said angrily in support of Wei Fengyao.
Another madam asked, “Morou, could this be a maid of your mansion?”
“It is unlikely. There are many guests in our mansion today and we are short of hands. Some of my maids are also helping outside.” The Heiress-apparent of Duke of Jing explained anxiously.
Such a thing was really a shame to the mansion of Duke of Jing that hosted today’s banquet. If this maid was a servant of the mansion, this scandal might even become a source of discord between Prince Nan’an Mansion and the mansion of Duke of Jing. Therefore, it was understandable for the Heiress-apparent of Duke of Jing to be so anxious and deny the possibility.
But if this wasn’t a maid of the mansion of Duke of Jing, which mansion was she from? Or was it not a maid?
The several young madams hesitated. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Although they were already married, they were still young. They did not know how to deal with this situation.
Wei Fengyao was pleased with herself. There was a trace of joy in her eyes for the coming success. It seemed that Wei Yuewu had been knocked out and placed on the bed. Otherwise, she couldn’t take the initiative to climb onto the bed. But this was even better than expected. Now that she was caught lying on the same bed with a man, she would not be able to explain it clearly no matter how hard she tried.
“Your Heiress-apparent, pull that slut out. Let’s see who it was that seduced our heir-apparent.” An old maidservant of Wei Fengyao said angrily.
“That’s right. If this slut who seduced men wasn’t punished, who knows what will happen in the future?” Another maid said indignantly. Then more people began to whisper to each other, saying that such a thing must not be tolerated and the woman must be punished without mercy.
“Go, pull that slut out!” Wei Fengyao’s face was full of sadness. She stomped her feet and said hatefully, as if she had made up her mind.
Two old maidservants went over and reached out their hands, ready to pull the person off the bed.
With such a large group of people speaking excitedly in the room, however sleepy the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an was, he must have been woken up at this time. When he opened his eyes, he suddenly saw a wrinkled face in front of him. He was shocked and shouted as he sat up.
The old maidservant was caught off guard and was hit by Wen Ruoming’s head in the chin. She screamed and fell out covering her chin with her hand. The people behind didn’t see clearly what had happened and they thought that the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an had sat up to hit the old maidservant.
“Your Heir-apparent, you’re going too far!”
“Your Heir-apparent, this is not Prince Nan’an Mansion.”
The statuses of those young madams were also extraordinary. Although not as noble as Prince Nan’an Mansion, their fathers, fathers-in-law, or husbands were high-ranking officials. At this time, they could not help but stand on Wei Fengyao’s side and speak for her.
“What? Who’s going too far?” Wen Ruoming propped himself up on the bed with a blank expression on his face. He looked at the large group of women gathering at the door. Finally, he landed his gaze on Wei Fengyao’s face and asked.
“Your Heir-apparent, whatever kind of women you liked, when did I say no? Even when you took a fancy to my Fifth Younger Sister before, I still went to the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang to put in a good word for you and I was ready to get her for you. But… but look at you… You… what face do I have to live now!”
Wei Fengyao covered her face with a handkerchief and cried painfully, as if she had really lost control of herself.
Wen Ruoming was indeed guilty about his affair with Wei Qiuju. “You…what are you talking about?”
Hearing their conversation, the several young madams all seemed to understand something. Back then, Princess Nan’an forced Wei Fengyao to accept the affairs between Wen Ruoming and Wei Qiuju. Although those young masters who witnessed the scandal were good for nothing, they knew better than talk about it with outsiders. Otherwise, not only would they offend Prince Nan’an Mansion, but they might also provoke the Fourth Prince. Therefore, no other people knew about this scandal.
Now that these young madams heard Wei Fengyao mentioned this, some of them immediately understood. They widened their eyes in disbelief. None of these people here was stupid, and by thinking about what Wei Fengyao had said, they knew the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an had an affair with Fifth Miss Wei and asked Wei Fengyao to be his matchmaker.
This… this Fifth Miss Wei was really cheap. She actually had an affair with her brother-in-law, and she even shamelessly wanted to be his concubine!
“Don’t you understand what I am talking about, Your Heir-apparent? Ever since I married into Prince Nan’an Mansion, I have done everything according to the rules. I wholeheartedly serve Her Ladyship and deal with the internal affairs of the backyard. I have put Your Heir-apparent and Prince Nan’an Mansion at the center of my life, yet now…why have you kept treating me like this again and again?… You… you want me to…”
This was exactly what Wei Fengyao wanted. She became more and more self-righteous and cried on. She just wanted to make a scene and make this matter known to everyone so that it went beyond the control of Princess Nan’an. There was no way for Wei Qiuju to enter the mansion as a secondary concubine.
Moreover, after she brought to light his affairs with Wei Qiuju, if Wen Ruoming later had any suspicion about what happened today, he could not say anything. After all, he had a guilty conscience in both things.
Wen Ruoming was upset by her crying. Besides, being stared at by a group of women put him under great psychological pressure and he could not help but shout angrily, “Alright, alright, enough of it. This matter has been concluded. Mother also said she would make it up for you.”
These words almost confirmed that he and Wei Qiuju had an affair. Several madams immediately looked at him with disdain. They knew the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an was a playboy, but they did not expect that he would actually do such a thing. Looking at the scene in front of their eyes, they increasingly felt that Wei Fengyao was pitiful.
Before they married, they could be considered as bosom friends of Wei Fengyao. Seeing that Wei Fengyao ended up in such a situation despite her willingness to give in, they all stood up for Wei Fengyao.
“Your Heir-apparent, don’t you feel sorry for what you have done to Her Heiress-apparent?”
“I heard that the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang’s Fifth Young Lady was a concubine-born daughter. It turned out she really was illbred.”
“She actually wanted to enter Prince Nan’an Mansion. Well, no man would want her even as his bedroom maid!”
These madams kept ridiculing Wei Qiuju, and Wen Ruoming became more and more annoyed. Although he was good for nothing, he knew that if this matter was brought up, not only would he lose face, but even Prince Nan’an Mansion would be disgraced. However, he could not reprimand Wei Fengyao because he did have a guilty conscience regarding the issue.
At this moment, he was unable to vent his anger. When he saw that there was still an old maidservant standing by his bed who was about to reach her hand into the quilt, he became even more impatient. He kicked fiercely towards the old maidservant under the quilt, cursing angrily at her.
“Quiet! Didn’t you see a couple arguing? Get out!”
The old maidservant was caught off guard and was kicked right in the belly. She covered her belly with her hands and cried out in pain. Then, she fell straight out, pulling the quilt off the bed as she fell…
