I'm already a concubine, who wants to fight with you?

Chapter 141 Adulterer?

Xie Fei was sleeping soundly when he was awakened by Fu Yu's panicked call.

"Girl, girl, get up!"

Xie Fei whimpered softly, turned over and hugged the corner of the quilt, closed his eyes and said, "Don't make noise."

"Miss!" Fu Yu shouted with a wry smile, "Something happened in Chaohui Pavilion, get up quickly!"

Xie Fei opened his eyes with difficulty, and his brain gradually started to work.

After a moment, she sat up suddenly.

"Who's in trouble?"

"Chaohui Pavilion, Miss Miao!"

In the dead of night, with snow and wind raging, the people from Pei Mansion gathered in Chaohui Pavilion.

When Xie Fei arrived, he just heard Miao's miserable accusation.

"Master, don't you believe me? I really don't know what's going on. I don't even know this person!"

Pei Yuan's violent roar was like thunder, shaking everyone's heart.

"You don't know him? How could a stranger appear in your bed? And how could you hug him and sleep so wantonly!"

As there were too many people, Xie Fei couldn't squeeze into the inner room for a while, so he secretly asked the concubine next to him.

"what happened?"

The concubine looked like she was watching a good show, and said with great joy: "Miao is restless. She thought that the master would not come back to worship the ancestors tonight, so she actually brought her lover into Chaohui Pavilion and slept with him!"

Who would have thought that Pei Yuan was worried about his concubine and rushed back overnight.

When he opened the curtain, he saw his concubine sleeping soundly with her arms around a drunken man.

Pei Yuan was so angry that he almost died. He dragged the drunk man down and slapped Miao hard.

Xie Fei thought, how is this possible?

Although Miao couldn't possibly love Pei Yuan that much, she was a very traditional woman. How stupid must one have to be to be pregnant with Pei Yuan's child, have an affair with another man, and bring the man into Chaohui Pavilion so brazenly?

Although she was curious about how things were going, she didn't want to squeeze to the front to be in the spotlight, so she just stayed behind the crowd and listened to the noise coming from inside.

Pei Yuan was naturally furious. His most beloved woman, who was pregnant with his child, brought another man to bed. How could he not be embarrassed?

Miao fell to the ground, crying bitterly.

"Master, I am truly innocent! I went to bed early today, and found someone coming back in the middle of the night. It was dark, and I thought it was you, so I..."

"Shut up! Shut up!" Pei Yuan was so angry that he took a few steps back and sat on the chair, his blood boiling.

He almost vomited blood, but when he saw Miao crying like a pear blossom in the rain, he didn't know how to face it for a moment.

He leaned over and grabbed Miao's neck, shouting in pain: "I really, really love you, and I really plan to make you my legal wife and live a good life with you!"

In order to divorce Xiao Shirong and make Miao Feng'er his wife, he even planned to kill the old lady to clear all obstacles for Miao Feng'er.

But why, why is it like this?

Just when Pei Yuan was furious and Miao was crying bitterly, word came from outside that the eldest lady had arrived.

The concubines quickly made way for them, and Xie Fei bowed and retreated to the back.

The night was dark, with lights flickering. Xiao Shirong, supported by Mother Tang, led a group of maids and servants and strode over in a mighty procession.

After entering the main house, she first glanced at Miao indifferently, and then bowed to Pei Yuan.

"My lord, I heard that something happened in Chaohui Pavilion, so I came here to plead for Sister Miao. With Sister Miao's love for you, I hope she would not do such a thing. My lord, please understand." Pei Yuan didn't even look at her and turned his head away weakly.

Miao was crying so hard that she was out of breath. Hearing Xiao Shirong say this, it was like she had grabbed a life-saving straw. She quickly knelt forward and grabbed the hem of Xiao Shirong's skirt.

"Madam, please believe me. I really don't know what's going on. Please believe me!"

Xiao Shirong said softly, "Good sister, of course I believe you. Tell me what's going on."

Miao couldn't explain what happened at all. She kept trying to explain that she went to bed early and felt someone groping to the side of her bed in the middle of the night. She thought it was her master who had returned.

She was already sleepy, so without thinking too much, she fell into a deep sleep while hugging the person.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yuan came back later, turned on the light and lifted the quilt, and she realized that the person she was hugging was not Pei Yuan at all, but a strange man.

Pei Yuan had heard this before, and he didn't know whether he believed it or not. He sat on the chair in despair, heartbroken.

Xiao Shirong asked the old lady in charge of the room, "Where is the adulterer?"

The old lady said, "That man was drunk and has been dragged away to sober up."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old women came back dragging someone.

The man was dishevelled, his shirt was stripped off, and he must have been thrown into the snow and had a basin of cold water poured on him. Now that he had come to his senses, he still had no idea what had happened.

He kept shouting that he was innocent. Xie Fei felt that the voice sounded familiar. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was Sun Dalang.

Sun Dalang is the lowest-ranking servant in the mansion, so how could he run into the backyard?

Xie Fei and Fu Yu looked at each other, with a thousand doubts in their hearts.

Xiao Shirong came to take charge of the situation, and immediately asked all the unimportant people in each room and courtyard to leave, leaving only the capable female servants and concubines to be available to respond later.

"There are so many people and eyes, what if some idiot goes out and talks nonsense and ruins the reputation of the master?"

Pei Yuan was exhausted and waved his hand to signal Xiao Shirong to handle it herself.

After the courtyard was cleared, Xie Fei's vision became much better, and he could roughly understand the current situation of Miao and Pei Yuan.

Miao was only wearing a bellyband and underpants, with disheveled hair. She sat on the ground looking pitiful. She was heartbroken and her face was covered with tear marks.

Pei Yuan felt equally uncomfortable. There were spots of mud on his trouser legs. It was very likely that he was on his way to worship his ancestors and keep vigil. He was worried about Miao and rushed back in the wind and snow.

But he didn't expect that lifting the curtain would give him a critical hit.

Another person involved, Sun Dalang, was extremely panic-stricken after he sobered up. He knew that a disaster was about to happen, so he fell to the ground and kowtowed continuously, trembling so much that his teeth were about to break.

Although this situation had nothing to do with the concubines, no one knew whether they would be implicated in such a big matter, so everyone kept silent, just waiting for the master and queen mother to speak.

Xiao Shirong sat down in the room and said to Sun Dalang, "You, raise your head."

Sun Dalang's body was shaking almost uncontrollably, but he had to slowly raise his head under the gaze of everyone. His originally decent face was slightly distorted by fear.

Xiao Shirong smiled with an ambiguous tone and said, "This face is quite good. If you look closely, it is somewhat similar to the master."

Pei Yuan glared at her fiercely, but she remained indifferent and asked with a smile, "When did you and Sister Miao meet?"

Sun Dalang was so scared that he almost pissed himself, his heart was pounding in his chest and cold sweat was running down his cheeks.

Although he had no idea what was going on, he knew very well that if he said one wrong word, there would be an abyss ahead.

"Reply, reply Madam, I don't know Miss Miao. I really don't know her."

Xiao Shirong's face changed and he slammed the table heavily.

"Bastard thing!"
