Chapter 252 – His Heir-Apparent Had An Affair With A Man?
“Ah…” The young madams cried out in alarm one after another. Then, they came to their senses and rushed out with their maids and old maidservants blushing.
“Man…It’s a man!”
“Who would expect that the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an actually slept with a man… and he did it in the mansion of Duke of Jing…”
“This is too improper! Well, it seemed that Prince Nan’an Mansion has really declined. It actually has such a…” The sounds of whispering accompanied by mocking voices gradually faded away.
They were all young madams, and it was a shameful thing for them to see two young men lying on the same bed.
“Miss, they have all come down. Should we go over and take a look?” Under a tall tree at the corner of the pavilion, Wei Yuewu watched the scene from afar with Jin Ling, her eyes filled with ridicule.
Wei Fengyao had planned to bring some young madams who were close to her to catch her in an embarrassing situation. Although these madams all had high statuses, they were still young. Seeing such a scene, they didn’t even give the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an a chance to explain and directly ran away with their servants.
Thus, they firmly believed that they had witnessed the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an sleeping with a young man!
“No need to go over, they will come down in a moment! We just wait here…” Wei Yuewu smiled and moved slightly. Since Wei Fengyao had designed such a scene for her, she naturally would make good use of it.
After Jin Ling jumped off the pavilion carrying Wei Yuewu in her arms, Wei Yuewu waited quietly under the tree. First, she saw Wei Fengyao bringing a large group of people upstairs. Now, she saw those madams covering their faces with handkerchiefs and running away in shame and anger.
She narrowed her beautiful eyes and looked at the roof of the pavilion. Wei Fengyao wanted her life. Of course, this matter would not end like this!
“Will Eldest Miss Jing come over immediately?” Jin Ling looked at the road ahead and asked uneasily. She had just asked a maid to inform Eldest Miss Jing that something had happened to Wei Yuewu and that Wei Yuewu wanted her to come over.
However, the mansion of Duke of Jing was holding a banquet for this Eldest Miss Jing today. Did she really have time to come over?
“She will!” Wei Yuewu lowered her head and looked at her own delicate and white hands as she said with certainty.
Judging from what she had done, this Eldest Miss Jing wasn’t a simple person. She was bold enough to ask for an audience with her in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. Later on, even though she was injured, she still sent her a rare book as a gift. Today, Wei Yuewu believed she would be able to find out how “sincere” this Eldest Miss Jing was based on the amount of time it took her to arrive here, although she was certain Eldest Miss Jing wasn’t absolutely…
Upstairs, after the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an kicked the old maidservant, he did not realize what was wrong immediately. When the madams looked at him as if they had seen a ghost and then hurriedly left much ashamed, he felt something was wrong.
He turned around and saw a man sitting up in a daze.
A man actually slept on his bed? Moreover, this was also seen by others. After returning home, he would probably be beaten to death by his mother! As Wen Ruoming thought about this, his expression immediately changed.
He abruptly got off the bed, grabbed the man by the hair, and pulled him to the ground, shouting, “Who are you? Why are you on my bed?”
“I… Hey, who the hell are you? How dare you hit me!” The man dressed as a servant had woken up only after the quilt was pulled off him. At this time, he was still in a daze and could not remember who this man was. Seeing that someone dragged him to the ground by pulling his hair, he was annoyed and punched Wen Ruoming in the chest.
Wen Ruoming didn’t expect that the man actually dared to fight back. He staggered backward a few steps and fell to the ground, screaming in pain.
“Impudent! You… you actually dared to hit the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an!” Wei Fengyao also came back to her senses and shouted angrily. Several quick-witted old maidservants hurriedly went over to help Wen Ruoming up.
“Heir… Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an? I…” At this time, the man also came back to his senses. He was so scared that he stumbled two steps back and grabbed the edge of the bed to keep his feet.
“Of course this is the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an. Who do you think he is? How did you get into this room? Why did you sleep in this bed? And you even slept on the same bed with His Heir-apparent?” Wei Fengyao interrupted him with a stern voice. Light flashed in her eyes as she fired the questions one by one, which implicitly revealed the truth of the matter to the man.
The man was not stupid. He rolled his eyes and realized that something unexpected had happened and a remedy was needed right away. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Wen Ruoming.
“Your Heir-apparent, I am a servant of the mansion of Duke of Jing. Today, I was ordered to sweep the ground here with another colleague. Later, someone called the two of us away. After that, we came back and I worked alone for a while. When I came to this room, I saw that there was someone on the bed and thought it was my colleague. I thought that if he could slack off, so could I. Therefore, I climbed onto the bed to sleep for a while!”
Hearing that this person gave a flawless answer, Wei Fengyao secretly heaved a sigh of relief. However, she was afraid that Wen Ruoming didn’t understand the situation. Therefore, she went on to ask, “Did you mean that you didn’t know the person on the bed is our heir-apparent?”
“I definitely didn’t know it was His Heir-apparent! If I knew, I wouldn’t dare to offend him no matter what. I clearly saw my colleague lying on the bed… How come it became His Heir-apparent in just a short while?” That person was also good at acting. When he saw that someone believed him, he became more and more enthusiastic. He even had a bitter expression on his face as if he had been completely wronged for no reason.
In other words, what had happened was a misunderstanding.
“Why didn’t I see you when I came up?” Wen Ruoming said angrily, his face livid.
“Maybe my colleague and I happened to leave, so I didn’t see Your Heir-apparent. If I had seen you, I wouldn’t dare to sleep on the bed! Your Heir-apparent, I am truly wronged!” The man cried out loudly. Then, he rolled his eyes and added, “Your Heir-apparent, if you don’t believe me, you can call all the servants in the mansion over. You will know I didn’t lie once you ask.”
Under the current situation, Wen Ruoming could be said to have lost all of his face. How could he go on to make a big fuss? Today, the people who came were all from various aristocratic families. If he went on to pursue the case, everyone in the capital would know about it, and Prince Nan’an Mansion would be greatly humiliated. When he returned to the mansion, his mother would definitely not spare him.
At this time, Wen Ruoming still thought that only the several madams who were present knew about the scandal. Unexpectedly, before he left the pavilion, rumours had already been spread that he slept with a man in the mansion of Duke of Jing. Some people even gossiped about the affair he had with Wei Qiuju.
“Scram!” Wen Ruoming kicked the man fiercely and shouted. Then, he pulled the outer garment that was placed aside by someone at some unknown time and hastily put it on before walking out with a livid face.
“Your Heir-apparent, wait for me!” Wei Fengyao also hurriedly followed.
The large group of maids and old maidservants hurriedly followed after their masters, leaving only the man in the room. Seeing that Wen Ruoming did not pursue the matter, the man was overjoyed. He looked around and knew that he could not stay here for long.
He was still at a loss how he was found lying on the bed in the inner room. But apparently, something had gone wrong. Therefore, he followed the crowd carefully and was ready to go downstairs.
“Eldest Sister, Your Heir-apparent!” Wei Yuewu and Jing Wenyan were waiting in an empty space below. Seeing Wen Ruoming and Wei Fengyao coming over, Wei Yuewu stepped forward and bowed.
“You… Who is this…” Wen Ruoming stopped and said in astonishment.
When Wei Fengyao saw Wei Yuewu, she was so scared that her face turned pale. She also stopped and looked around. Didn’t the maid tell her that Wei Yuewu had already gone upstairs? How come she was waiting here instead of being upstairs?
“Your Heir-apparent, I am sorry for the trouble you have suffered!” Jing Wenyan also gracefully bowed to Wen Ruoming.
“Eldest Miss Jing, what do you mean?” Wen Ruoming looked suspiciously at Jing Wenyan. The young lady in front of him was extremely charming. She was such a stunning beauty that even Wen Ruoming, who liked delicate and pretty women most, could not help but be amazed.
When he saw the maids and old maidservants beside her wearing uniforms of the mansion of Duke of Jing, he immediately guessed the identity of this beauty in front of him.
When he recalled that it was this Eldest Miss Jing who had invited him to come over, he was so angry that he spoke bluntly without caring about her face.
“Your Heir-apparent, do you think you’ve fallen into someone’s trap?” Jing Wenyan asked with a smile.
“Your Heir-apparent, could it be that someone lured you here?” Wei Yuewu smiled and asked with a surprised expression.
“What did you mean? Who lured me to this place?” Wen Ruoming asked anxiously when he realized the implication in her words.
“Your Heir-apparent, it’s all over. Forget it!” When Wei Fengyao saw that it was going out of control, she quickly pulled Wen Ruoming’s sleeve, motioning him to let go of this matter.
“Eldest Sister, could it be that you were also lured here by someone? Just now, Eldest Miss Jing and I met a few madams who said that something had happened to His Heir-apparent… I’m afraid that everyone in the front yard has known about what happened here!” Wei Yuewu said as she sneered in her heart. Well, it was apparent that Wei Fengyao didn’t want Wen Ruoming to investigate further. That was why she had asked Jing Wenyan to come here and investigate this matter in her capacity as the mistress of the mansion.
“Who did this?” When Wen Ruoming heard that there were rumors about him, he shook off Wei Fengyao’s hand and asked angrily.
“Your Heir-apparent…” When Wei Fengyao saw that Wen Ruoming was really angry, she was so anxious that her face turned pale. She took a step forward and wanted to stop him!
“Eldest Sister, what happened? Don’t you want His Heir-apparent to clear his name? There are even rumors outside that Fifth Elder Sister and His Heir-apparent are…” Wei Yuewu seemed to hesitate for a moment. She looked at Jing Wenyan at the side and omitted the other half of the sentence. “How did they know about this?”
How did those people know about this? Wasn’t it Wei Fengyao who exposed this scandal in public?
Wei Yuewu’s words reminded Wen Ruoming, who immediately put on a long face. What did Wei Fengyao mean? Was she trying to ruin his and Wei Qiuju’s reputation by making use of the incident just now?
Besides, why didn’t she want him to clear his name? Could it be that she wanted him to have a bad reputation? Could it be that Wei Fengyao wanted to vent all her anger on him and Wei Qiuju and take revenge on them because of her scratched face?
The more he thought about these possibilities, the more confident he was of his judgment. Today, he was lured by someone to the pavilion. Immediately after he was found to be lying on the same bed with someone, Wei Fengyao arrived with a group of young madams. She kept blaming him all the time and she even exposed his affair with Wei Qiuju. Could it be that all of this had been planned by Wei Fengyao?
Wen Ruoming suddenly remembered that the Heiress-apparent of the mansion of Duke of Jing was Wei Fengyao’s bosom friend. Wei Fengyao once told him that they had a good relationship when they were still little girls!
The more he thought about it, the worse his expression became. He turned to look at Wei Fengyao and was about to speak when he heard Wei Yuewu saying with a faint smile, “Eldest Miss Jing, look!”
“Someone, arrest that guy!” Looking at the man who was sneaking downstairs, Jing Wenyan made a prompt decision and ordered.
