With just a few short sentences, even though he hadn't directly stated who the mastermind was, his words had already clearly stated the causes and consequences. Now, she wanted to see how Xue Duan Sheng would decide in the face of this iron-clad reality.
Xue Duan Sheng had been in the Imperial Court for many years. He didn't need Xue Ruoyun to explain, and only by looking at all that had happened tonight was he able to understand. "Madam, what's going on? Could you explain it to me?"
Xue Duan Sheng's tone couldn't help but raise a bit, and he turned around to glare angrily at the Zhao Clan.
Although Xue Duan Sheng didn't like his eldest daughter, she was still his own flesh and blood after all. Moreover, when he looked at her expression just now, it caused him to unconsciously feel the feeling he had towards the Korean Style in his heart.
Taking a step back, even if he didn't think about the Korean relationship, just the fact that his eldest daughter's reputation was ruined was enough to cause his country to lose all face. Moreover, his daughter's marriage would have some value in the future. If he were to marry a lecher, then it would really be useless.
Normally, he didn't like Xue Ruyun, so most of the things that he did in private were ignored. At most, he would only scold him nonchalantly. He didn't expect that the Zhao Family would go overboard today, simply not understanding the situation.
Mrs Zhao could not help but shiver in fright at his sudden shout. He took half a step back and the wound on his foot became even more painful.
The people around her who were aware of the plot were so frightened that their legs went soft. As if they couldn't support their bodies, they kneeled on the spot, "Please calm your anger, old master …"
"Master, I came with you. I … I don't know anything." When Madame Zhao saw Xue Duan Sheng staring at her with a face filled with rage, she hurriedly stammered as she explained.
Seeing her like this, Xue Luoyun couldn't help but inwardly laugh.
"Then today is not a day to rest. Why are all the night watchmen dismissed?" After all, Xue Duan Ling Tian had the appearance of a person, and he'd considered his options thoroughly, so he wouldn't be easily fooled by her.
"I am, I am. It is because I saw that the weather was very cold today and that there would be rain and snow falling at night, so I was grateful to the servants and gave them an order to rest for the night. I never thought that such a thing would happen." Mrs Zhao had already thought of this explanation long ago.
"Mother is truly kind and compassionate." Xue Luoyun faintly smiled, openly and secretly complimenting and ridiculing Chen Changsheng.
Madame Zhao was truly crafty and insidious. She even prepared her excuses long ago. She really was bent on putting her, Xue Ruoyun, in a place of death!
Mrs Zhao raised her head and glared viciously at Xue Ruyun, wishing she could tear her to shreds in her heart. "This little bitch! "He actually added insult to injury." However, when he returned to his senses and met Xue Duan Sheng's fierce gaze, he hurriedly withdrew his expression and lowered his head to look at the ground.
"But these two people, one is your nephew and the other is your personal servant, they appeared in the Rain Pavilion without reason. How are you going to explain that?" Xue Duan Sheng couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the ridicule and ridicule from Xue Lao Yun as he continued to ask.
"This humble one really doesn't know …" In this situation, Mrs Zhao still hadn't thought of a proper explanation and was temporarily at a loss for words.
At this moment, Zhao Anzhi and Caifeng, who had been hung upside down on the side, were already numbed. Their faces were purple and the weather was cold. The two of them could no longer resist.
The rainbow phoenix was the Zhao Family's confidant and also the life of a maid, so it didn't dare to argue. It could only endure in silence.
On the other hand, even though Zhao Anzhi was a man, he was still an ordinary person. However, he had always been pampered, so how could he have suffered like this? Seeing that his aunt had pushed the matter to the point where it seemed like she would not save him, he did not care about that anymore and hurriedly shouted, "My aunt, please save me! My aunt, please save me!"
On this side, even the Zhao Clan was unable to protect themselves from crossing the river, unable to avoid doing so. When he suddenly heard Zhao Anyi's shout, he became even more restrained and looked embarrassedly at Xue Duan Sheng.
"You! "I …"
"Cousin, no matter what, you are still someone with status. Why would you do such an unsightly thing as having an affair with a servant girl?" For a matter like this, no matter how much Mother loves you, she will not be able to save you. " Unknowingly, Xue Lianshui, who had arrived at some point in time, bypassed the kneeling servants and arrived before Xue Duan Sheng.
"My daughter pays respects to father!" While drawing the scarlet five-finger mark, Xue Lian slightly leaned forward to greet Lady Zhao. At the same time, he took the opportunity to secretly give Lady Zhao a glance.
When Mrs Zhao heard her words and saw the look in her eyes, she immediately understood. It was now impossible to save Zhao Anyi and the others. It would be better to clear things up first and think of a way to save them in the future. It was just that he pitied his nephew and maidservants, and couldn't help but suffer.
"Right, right, right. An Ke, Cai Feng, how could you do such a despicable thing? How embarrassing for our Xue Clan." With this thought, and seeing her daughter's arrival, Mrs Zhao's heart was reassured, and she reprimanded her.
"Aunt, it's not that you want me to …"
"Shut up!" If you do all these things, why don't you think about your family's parents? If they knew, how would they feel? " Mrs Zhao hurriedly yelled out, and painfully berated Zhao Anyi, stopping him from speaking.
On the surface, her shout seemed to be to teach Zhao Anyi, but in reality, there was a hidden meaning behind it.
Over the years, Zhao Anyi's family had been supported by many of the Zhao family members, and only then could they enjoy the limelight today. Without her as an aunt, it would be difficult for their family to live a comfortable life in the future.
As the saying goes, "The skin is gone, but the fur is not." After weighing the pros and cons, he could only lower his head dejectedly, no longer struggling like a dead pig.
Xue Ruyun sneered, then leisurely said, "I don't know about these two having an affair, but there's one thing I don't understand. Why did they come to my courtyard just like that? Isn't this a bit unimaginable …"
"Elder sister, you said that. Don't tell me they need a reason to go anywhere in this huge courtyard?" Then, even if all the servants in the courtyard were to explain, they would probably not be able to finish explaining it tomorrow. Elder sister, if you continue to quibble like this, I'm afraid you will lose your noble demeanor. " When Xue Lian drew the picture of Xue Lian, he remembered that he had been slapped by Xue Ruoyun earlier in the day, and thus, he gnashed his teeth in hatred. He no longer bothered to conceal himself and directly began to argue.
"Sister's words are so light, it's not like I'm going to your courtyard." When Xue Luoyun heard Xue Lian's forced explanation, his words were filled with ridicule and mockery. He couldn't help but take two steps forward, closing in on Xue Lian's screen.
"Young mistress..." Yun Zhi quickly pulled on Xue Muyun's sleeve.
Although he was also angered by Xue Lian's words to the point that her face turned red and her muscles bulged, and she cried out for her Young Miss's injustice. However, at this moment, it was obvious that Xue Lian's painting was purposefully provoking Xue Lao Yun, wanting her to make a move in front of Xue Duan Sheng. She had fallen into the crime of being arrogant and despotic.
When Xue Lianqing saw that Xue Ruyun was closing in on her, she should be secretly happy because she had obviously succeeded in her scheme. But at this moment, she didn't know why, but a huge uneasiness welled up in her heart. Especially after being slapped by Xue Ruyun, she truly discovered that this Xue Moyan seemed to be completely different from before.
