Chapter 337: Incident at the Banquet (2)
Hong'er's face turned pale, knowing that she was too impatient. "I... I just went through this road to return to the hall. I've been there once so I know."
Ye Muan snorted disdainfully, "You're quick to react."
Then he walked quickly into the path, and as he walked, he did not forget to invite, "In that case, I'll trouble all the ladies to come with me to witness the big show that the maid of the Tan family invited us to watch."
Mrs. Tan frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with her statement, but Tan Fuyao beside her shook her head gently at her, motioning her to look again.
Mrs. Gu, who had been secretly observing Ye Muan, stared at her back with a look that said, "My daughter is growing up."
Her daughter-in-law is so smart!
It was obvious at first glance that this was a trap, and they also knew to characterize this as a big drama of the Tan family to clear the Zhuo Palace clean. In fact, seeing this, anyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on. It all depended on how it ended. It would be best if nothing really happened. But thinking of the interesting princess just now... I didn't think she would be unable to see through such a simple trap.
The further Ye Muan walked, the calmer he felt.
She was also stupid. She was afraid that Shen Yu would get angry and have a miscarriage. But if she thought calmly, who was Shen Yu? If Prince Zhuo dared to cheat today, she would divorce him tomorrow, and then take her brothers and sisters to raise the little scholar. She would not hurt herself and the baby for a scumbag, even though the scumbag was the baby's father.
Besides, who is Zhuo Wang? Even Shen Yu respectfully calls him the Movie King, how could he fall into the trap so easily? Based on her understanding of her best friend, this guy is most likely playing along with the trick, and who knows where he is waiting to see the fun!
Everyone followed the maid in front of them. Along the way, they met many people who had just left, and followed them to join in the fun.
At the same time, people from all directions quickly and quietly left Prince Zhuo's Mansion and rushed to different places in Zhuo City to report the news.
This maid had just taken Princess Zhuo a long way to get here. She thought she was smart, but she didn't know that Shen Yu had an excellent sense of direction. She had already realized that this seemingly deserted courtyard was actually not far from the banquet hall.
So Ye Muan and his group quickly arrived at the courtyard in a mighty procession. As soon as they entered the door, the maid named Hong'er shouted loudly, "Miss, I brought people to rescue you, don't be afraid!"
Then everyone heard Lu Yingxing's roar from the second floor, "Get out of here!"
"Hong'er, save me...Ah! Wuuuuuu!" This time everyone heard it clearly. It was indeed Tan Daixue's voice.
This time even Ye Muan was stunned, a trace of panic flashed through his heart: Oh my god, is this possible? !
Intermittent noises were heard from upstairs again, scaring some unmarried girls so much that they screamed and ran out. Of course, they knew what the noise meant, but they didn't expect that even though they knew someone was coming downstairs, Prince Zhuo would still...
"Miss Ye, this..." Someone spoke, and everyone looked at Ye Muan, who was temporarily in charge.
Madam Gu sighed, stepped forward and said, "How about we go back first? She is still an unmarried girl, why make things difficult for her?
Ye Muan smiled at her gratefully, accepted the kindness of this strange lady, and then said to the air, "Is there any guard in the palace?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a person jumped down from the tree, "Miss Ye!" This is their leader's mother and future wife, they cannot neglect her!
"Big brother, please go and ask the prince and princess to come over..." After thinking for a moment, he added, "If you can't find anyone, then go find your family leader. Let's all go back to the banquet hall first."
"Yes!" The guard's figure flashed and disappeared again.
At this time, the people upstairs seemed to be making things difficult for them, and the sound of a woman crying and shouting was heard again, lingering and sad. Ye Muan raised his head and took a deep look, "Oh!" He walked back first.
This voice made all the ladies present blush, only Tan Fuyao turned pale, "This voice is really a bit like my sister's?" She grabbed her maid's wrist in panic, "Where is my second sister? Didn't you just say that she has been admiring the flowers in the courtyard?
The maid who was asked also looked unhappy, "Miss, when I left, the second young lady was indeed in the courtyard, who would have thought..."
The ladies who were in a dilemma looked at each other. Since the eldest daughter of the Tan family admitted it herself, it seemed that the second daughter was really the one inside. Everyone tacitly turned back the way they came, not daring to say much, but their minds were full of thoughts.
Some people were gloating, some were full of sympathy. Prince Zhuo didn't stop even though he knew someone was coming downstairs. It was obviously not right. He was probably drugged and plotted against. But, if this happened, Tan Daixue's status would be determined... It has only just begun. Princess Zhuo is so pitiful.
As soon as we returned to the banquet hall, someone raised questions.
"Hey, that's not right? Didn't they say Princess Zhuo was there?" The girl in yellow, who had chatted with Shen Yu in the garden, was also quite frightened, but at this moment she was obviously more concerned about where the princess was.
"Yes, yes, yes! We were just talking and laughing in the garden. The princess doesn't look like anything is wrong." In fact, the purple-clothed girl who said this felt guilty. After all, they had been chatting for a long time. But she just wanted to prove that the princess was not in a mess when she left.
At this time, everyone realized, yes, where is the princess? Didn't she say she would catch the adulterer in person?
Hong'er, who had always wanted to hide herself, now had a dark face, lowered her head and said nothing. Ye Mu'an also treated himself as a transparent person.
Madam Tan's face was not looking good either. The second daughter of the Dai City Lord's Mansion was caught having an affair with the prince at the Zhuo Prince's Mansion's return banquet, and it happened right under the nose of her, the mistress of the house? This was simply stepping on her face!
Moreover, this happened after Prince Zhuo explicitly refused to allow Tan Daixue to enter the mansion... Everyone is not stupid. Today's situation is clearly telling others that it was their Tan family girl who offered herself to him, it was their Tan family girl who drugged and plotted, and it might have been instructed by her, the mistress!
Suppressing all the anger in her heart, Madam Tan said coldly, "Everyone, let's see the person first before we talk about this matter. If it is really our daughter who is in trouble, the Tan family will definitely give an explanation to Prince Zhuo's Mansion."
Tan Fuyao lowered her eyes, wiped away the tears with the handkerchief in her hand, and said with a strong face, "Mother, calm down. Since it has already happened, even if my second sister...really did such a thing, our Tan family will naturally give an explanation to the prince and the princess. Especially since the princess has just arrived in Zhuo City and is unfamiliar with the place, it would be bad to let the princess feel disappointed and think that the powerful people in Zhuo City are bullying her, a new bride who came from afar."
"Yes, yes, yes! Miss Tan's words really hit the nail on the head." A lady immediately echoed.
Tan Fuyao spoke beautifully. Not only did she express her anger at her own sister for not fighting back, she also expressed her sympathy for Princess Zhuo's situation. She also skillfully maintained the collective dignity of the noble ladies in Zhuo City. Her words were warm and measured, and every word she spoke made people admire her even more. She is truly worthy of being the most talented woman in Zhuo City.
"Huh? You looking for me?"
