Chapter 426 Huo Jun, look at the woman you married!
Zhao Qiaoniang told Mrs. Tang what happened in the backyard.
Upon hearing this, Madam Tang was so angry that she trembled all over. Her fingers tightly clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand, almost tearing it apart. "It's not uncommon for aristocratic families to engage in intrigue and feud with each other, but Shen Mingyue was so audacious at her own wedding banquet. She's simply lawless!"
"I didn't expect that Miss Shen would do this." Zhao Qiaoniang sighed softly.
Mrs. Tang nodded quickly: "It really has nothing to do with you. Let's just wait and see what happens."
Zhao Qiaoniang's brows were still furrowed as she said worriedly, "If they bite back, I won't be able to defend myself."
"She knew all the ugly things she did as clearly as a mirror in her heart.
"If they really start an investigation, it will only lead to her. After all, she was the one who found those beggars and put the drugs there," Mrs. Tang said with a cold smile.
After hearing this, Zhao Qiaoniang slowly nodded.
A clever maid came forward and said with an apologetic smile:
"Madam, are you full? I'll take everyone to rest right away.
The red plum blossoms in the Red Plum Pavilion are very beautiful, and the ladies can stroll around the courtyard."
"I didn't expect that there would be such beautiful red plum blossoms in the princess's farm!
"I've heard this place is full of exotic flowers and plants, many of which are hard to come by. Today has truly broadened my horizons." Madam Zhang sniffed the plum blossoms, admiring them deeply.
The maid beside him smiled and bowed respectfully in response:
"Madam is right. Our farm not only has red plum blossoms, but also large peach and pear orchards.
If you have some free time in the afternoon, you can go boating on the lake and enjoy the scenery!"
"The princess has made such thoughtful arrangements! She is worthy of being the daughter raised by County Magistrate Duanmin. She acts appropriately and shows the demeanor of a noble family." Madam Li held a round fan with a peony painting on it, her eyes full of praise.
"Who says she isn't? The princess is beautiful and well-educated.
It would be a blessing for Huo Qing to marry her in eighteen lifetimes!" Madam Wang smiled from ear to ear, and the jade hairpin on her head swayed gently with her laughter.
The other ladies also nodded and praised her in unison, "This marriage is a perfect match. With the Huo and Shen families joining forces, they will surely reach new heights in Bianjing."
"Not only is the princess beautiful and kind-hearted, but she has also decorated this farm so beautifully. She will surely be a good wife and mother in the future."
The ladies' praises echoed in the yard one after another.
The maids stood by with appropriate smiles on their faces, and echoed at the appropriate times.
Suddenly, a strange noise was heard from inside the house. Madam Li stared at the direction of Hongmei Pavilion, extremely excited: "This sound... Could it be that someone is doing something shameful in there?"
"Hey! Did you notice?" Madam Wang's shrill voice instantly broke the silence, and she snapped the round fan in her hand. "Zhao Qiaoniang disappeared after she went in to change her clothes. Could she be hanging out with some wild man in there?"
Madam Sun echoed, her face full of disgust:
"That's right! Women from the countryside only care about money.
As long as you give them enough money, they will do anything immoral!"
Madam Li shook her head and sighed softly, pretending to be regretful:
"I heard that her ex-husband's family disliked her and kicked her out.
I never thought that she would hook up with General Huo. I don’t know what General Huo likes about her!
A trace of jealousy flashed across Mrs. Qian's face, and she stamped her feet fiercely:
"I originally wanted to make General Huo my son-in-law! Now it's great, this country girl has gotten the chance.
However, her true identity will be exposed sooner or later, let's go and see it together!"
The maids around lowered their heads, and some couldn't help but let out a faint sneer at the corners of their mouths.
The ladies immediately stood up, their skirts fluttering and their hairpins and rings jingling, as they hurried towards the Hongmei Pavilion.
Just when I was halfway there, I saw a large group of men coming over.
"Oh, isn't this General Huo?" Mrs. Wang smiled broadly, but her tone was filled with ill intent. "Are you looking for Madam? I don't know why she takes so long to change her clothes. We were just about to go check on her!"
The other ladies winked at each other, exchanged knowing glances, and waited for a good show.
Huo Qing's thick brows furrowed, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. He snorted coldly, "You're from the countryside after all. How shameless of you to cause such a scandal at a wedding banquet!"
Huo Jun is extremely anxious now. He is really afraid that something might happen to Zhao Qiaoniang. The key point is that they have a child!
Zhang Mazi let out a shrill laugh, took a few steps forward, glanced at Huo Jun, and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Huo Jun, look at the woman you married!
She looks so seductive and alluring, and I thought she could bring honor to you, but I didn't expect that she would do such shameful things!
In my opinion, you should send her away with a divorce letter immediately to avoid embarrassing herself here!"
Li Er on the side echoed:
"That's right! Maybe her child isn't yours at all!
Keeping a woman like this will only bring disaster to you sooner or later!"
Wang San squeezed to the front, a vicious sneer on his face, and a hint of madness in his eyes: "If I had a wife like this, I would strangle her to death without saying a word! To avoid bringing disgrace to the family!"
"That's right! This kind of lowly fellow, willing to degenerate, would be cheating on my wife.
I will hang her on the city gate and let everyone see the consequences of betraying me!" Liu Si said with gritted teeth.
Huo Jun's temples were throbbing and he rushed towards Hongmei Pavilion with big strides.
"Bang!" Huo Jun gathered all his strength and kicked the door open.
The wooden door fell to the ground with a loud bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The crowd following closely behind rushed in, pushing and shoving, with skirts and armor rubbing against each other, and the noise was endless.
The room was dark and depressing, filled with a pungent smell of sweat.
A dozen beggars were lying on the ground with strange and satisfied smiles on their faces.
Huo Jun's pupils suddenly shrank, his heart rose to his throat, and his eyes searched the crowd anxiously.
His eyes scanned each face one by one, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead and slid down his cheeks.
Suddenly, his tense nerves relaxed and he breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Qiaoniang was not among them.
His legs went weak instantly and he almost collapsed to the ground. He hurriedly grabbed the beam beside him.
"Huh... I'll leave the rest to you." Huo Jun's voice trembled slightly. He turned to Huo Qing beside him and said, "As long as she's not my wife, it's fine."
Everyone then came to their senses and discovered that except for Shen Mingyue, the other eight people were actually her most capable maids.
Shen Mingyue and the maids hadn't heard it yet and were still doing their own things with their heads down.
A surge of anger suddenly shot up Huo Qing's forehead, burning him to the point of losing all his rationality.
He rushed to Shen Mingyue in two steps, raised his arm high, and slapped Shen Mingyue's face with a crisp sound: "Shameless little whore, stop it!"
