After being forced into a marriage with a wealthy family, the virtuous wife caused a huge uproar.

Several other young masters were even more unscrupulous, taking advantage of girls indiscriminately. These were supposed to be noble young masters of the capital, but none of them were any good.

The funniest thing was that several of the maids accompanying the ladies of the house also crowded around their young masters.

"Second Young Master, I miss you so much. When will you ask Madam for me to come to your room?"

"Young Master, I am pregnant with your child. If you don't tell Madam soon, my belly will be too big to hide."

Several of the ladies also had even more fascinating appearances.

"Buddha, tell me, why is this? My husband promised me he would be with me for life before we married, so why has he taken two concubines in just a few years? Are men's words all lies?"

"Zhu Yuxuan, you're blind! Can't you see at all that I was tricked by your mother and your favored concubine? Now look what's happened, our child is gone too, are you satisfied now?"

The most unexpected thing was that Gao Zhixian, the eldest son of the second branch of the Gao family, was hugged tightly by Cui Liyuan from the Dingxi Marquis's mansion and refused to let go: "Young Master Gao, I like you the most. Don't marry the Gu family's daughter, marry me instead, okay?"

Rong Yingluo and Gu Ce observed the myriad aspects of life unfolding in the room.

The bitterness of countless women is amplified under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs, causing their long-suppressed sorrow to erupt without restraint at this moment.

The man's fickleness and his manipulative behavior towards emotions are also on full display.

Rong Yingluo felt like she had done something wrong.

Although most of the people who came today were family members of the Crown Prince's faction, they had not done anything to wrong her. However, in order to break the deadlock, she and Gu Ce had dragged so many people into today's situation, and her conscience was shaken.

Gu Ce watched and listened coldly, his expression growing increasingly grim.

So many shady things happened in the inner quarters. He was too naive before; he deserved to be harmed by Madam Su.

After scanning the area, Rong Yingluo looked towards the Crown Prince.

He actually enjoyed being surrounded by young ladies; he really is a lecher.

"Haha...Good, good, good. I'll bring you all into the East Palace later and have you bear me sons."

Even the young masters of the Gu family were surrounded by several young ladies.

Gu Xi went even further, kissing both of them on the left and right, truly embracing them both.

Just as everyone was lost in their own illusions, the door was suddenly opened.

Supported by Granny Ye and Gu Qingyin, the old lady walked in step by step with a cane. The frost on her face could freeze a person to death, and her tightly furrowed brows could trap a fly.

Her arrival was part of Rong Yingluo's plan, but the old lady had clearly been listening outside for quite some time before breaking down the door.

Behind her followed Madam Rong, Rong Zhixiu and Madam Qi, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, as well as a group of maids and servants.

The loud noise of the door opening startled everyone awake, bringing them back to reality from their hallucination.

Actually, the effects of the medicine have almost worn off.

Some men were holding a maid, and some young ladies were still crying.

Some of the ladies were kneeling on the ground, devoutly praying to Buddha for protection.

The prince was embracing three women.

Gu Qingya was pestering Yuwen Tai.

What was most unexpected was that Su Jingyi actually got into a physical fight with Guo and they started hurling insults at each other.

The most embarrassing moments of each person were vividly portrayed.

Everyone woke up at the same time, and they all looked at each other in disbelief.

Only a few people are expressionless; these people do not have deep desires and lead smooth lives.

"Absurd, utterly absurd." The old lady's cane thumped loudly on the ground.

Su Jingyi's face flushed red.

At that moment, she wished she could just faint, or disappear into a crack in the ground and hide.

That's it, things aren't going to end well today.

So many people have all become possessed by demons.

What should I do?

What should I do?

Her heart was pounding in her throat.

She remembered exactly what she had just done.

Since she remembers it clearly, others must remember it clearly as well.

She glanced around furtively and, sure enough, everyone had a different expression. They were all clearly like her, having just woken up from a hallucination.

What went wrong?

who is it?

Aside from Gu Ce and the Rong family, I have no other thoughts.

But how did they manage to do it?

Su Jingyi took a few deep breaths and walked over to the old lady: "Mother, why did you leave Shousong Courtyard? You're not feeling well, you should go back and rest early. Granny Ye, quickly help the old lady back."

Wasn't the old lady too ill to get out of bed? How did she manage to walk out of the courtyard?

The old lady must not be allowed to interfere in today's matter.

Otherwise, her good days will be over.

"Hmph, I entrusted this family to you, and this is how you manage it?" The old lady said angrily.

"Mother, the manor is haunted today. We were all possessed by ghosts just now." Su Jingyi couldn't find a suitable reason, so she could only use the excuse given by the maid to gloss over what happened today.

"Yes, yes, Mother, we've all been possessed by ghosts." Gu Jingcheng immediately chimed in, making the excuse seem plausible.

If word gets out that so many people are hallucinating and doing indecent things, it will be a huge problem.

This involves so many people and more than a dozen families, not just one or two.

If the Gu family doesn't give a reasonable explanation, no one will dare to enter the Gu residence again. Furthermore, members of the Gu family will no longer be well-regarded when they leave.

"Yes, we were both possessed by ghosts today." Lady Dingxi finally came to her senses. She had just mistaken her own daughter for her stepdaughter and had been cursing her endlessly. She had lost all face. Her daughter still had two handprints on her face, which were from when she had slapped her.

"Old Lady Duchess, the Gu family has lost four granddaughters-in-law. It must be that they were unwilling to die and their spirits lingered in the Gu family for a long time, which led to this misunderstanding today." Yuwen Yi had no choice but to speak up for Madam Su.

The old lady glanced at everyone.

Some of them still had expressions of panic and fear on their faces.

If Liuli hadn't told her beforehand, she would have been terrified.

She had never seen anything so strange in her entire life.

She had been listening outside the door for a long time. Although she hadn't seen what was happening inside, she had gotten pretty much a sense of what was going on from everyone's conversations.

These people's shameful deeds and desires were magnified infinitely in her hallucination, allowing her, an old woman, to hear the whole story.

But she was the matriarch of the Gu family, and she had to suppress the matter when something like this happened to the Gu family.

The old lady's expression softened somewhat. She walked up to Yuwen Yi and bowed respectfully, saying, "This old man greets Your Highness the Crown Prince. It was my Gu family's poor hospitality today; please forgive us."

"Ahem, you're too kind, Madam." Yuwen Yi coughed lightly. He had felt quite awkward just now, having been surrounded by several young ladies.

If the Emperor finds out about this, he will also be scolded.

Fortunately, he didn't say anything treasonous. If he had said he wanted to kill his father and the emperor in the illusion, his position as crown prince would have been over.

"Everyone, what happened today may be as you all say, the work of ghosts and monsters. Please step out of this door and pretend that nothing happened."

Don't mention what happened today. After all, we are all prominent families in the capital, and face is more important to us.

To calm everyone's nerves, the Gu family will send gifts to each household as an apology. The Gu family will also invite a Taoist priest to the residence to ward off evil spirits.

"Next time you all visit our home, the same thing will never happen again." The old lady apologized to the guests very solemnly.

"Madam, I have matters to attend to at home, so I must take my leave." A woman stepped forward hastily, bowed, and hurriedly left with her daughter.

After such an incident, she was too ashamed to continue attending the banquet.

After that, all the guests took their leave.

In the end, even the Rong family mother and son took their leave, leaving only the Gu family in the room.

The old lady walked to a chair and sat down, then shouted angrily, "Kneel down, all of you!"
