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

Chapter 193 Catching the Adulterer

Once in the water, Gu Ce saw Rong Yingluo struggling with a man in black. Enraged, he kicked the man away and then grabbed Rong Yingluo, leaping out of the water.

An Yi, who was hiding in the shadows, also saw the blood on the water's surface. He then appeared in the water and brought the man in black ashore.

But his actions were too late. Knowing he couldn't escape, the man in black committed suicide by taking poison.

All of this happened too fast.

Gu Qingya only had to shout once before she saw her elder brother pull her sister-in-law out of the water. Then she saw her brother's men pull a man in black out of the water; the man quickly bled from all seven orifices.

How could this happen?

She had never seen anything like this before.

"Big brother." Gu Qingya was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, so she could only ask Gu Ce for instructions.

"Go back to the banquet. You know nothing," Gu Ce coldly ordered, carrying Rong Yingluo to change her clothes.

An Yi, carrying the man in black, also disappeared.

Gu Ce didn't want to cause any unpleasantness at Madam Zhao's birthday banquet. The Madam had said she was simply using a scheme to teach Princess Xiangyi an unforgettable lesson.

The two found a side room, changed their clothes, and came out to smile at each other.

"Let's go catch them in the act!" Rong Yingluo said excitedly.

The medicine she gave Ling Feng was no ordinary medicine; it was absolutely potent and potent.

Ling Feng and his companion were already waiting outside.

"They're in the side room where the women in the Zhao family are preparing to change clothes," Ling Feng said.

The two headed directly in the direction Ling Feng had indicated.

Before they even arrived, they saw a maid running towards them in a panic.

He wasn't looking where he was going and bumped right into Rong Yingluo.

"What happened?" Rong Yingluo asked.

"I'm sorry, Madam Gu, this servant, this servant..." The little maid's face turned red, and she stammered, not knowing how to say it.

"Speak quickly," Gu Ce said coldly. "Lord Gu, there are strange noises coming from that room over there. I was just about to report to the Madam," the maidservant confessed honestly, startled by Gu Ce's words.

"You only need to invite Madam Zhao; do not disturb anyone else," Gu Ce ordered.

"Yes, I understand." The maidservant hurriedly left.

Rong Yingluo's eyes were practically overflowing with laughter.

The two continued walking until they reached the place where the maid had mentioned the strange noise.

It was truly a strange sound.

"Yin Hong, it's only been ten days since your brother last came to see you, and you're already so impatient and enthusiastic. Why haven't you been this proactive before?" The man's voice came.

"It's so hot, so hot! Give it to me, I want it, hurry up!" came Princess Xiangyi's voice.

"You slut, your brother has done his best."

"Ouch! No, it hurts!"

Rong Yingluo blushed deeply upon hearing this.

Gu Ce remained expressionless, but a closer look revealed that his ears had turned red. He raised his hand and covered Rong Yingluo's ears.

Such filthy sounds must not offend the lady's ears.

Before long, Madam Zhu, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, arrived in a hurry with two old women.

"Lord Gu, what are you doing here?" Madam Zhao had only heard from her maid that something might have happened here, but she didn't know what had happened.

No sooner had she finished speaking than a woman's extremely joyful voice reached her ears.

"My God, who is so bold as to do such a despicable thing in my Zhao family?" Madam Zhu was furious. "Granny Bai, go in and see who it is."

An old woman pushed the door open.

This kind of thing will never be tolerated.

Zhu went in with two old women.

When Madam Zhu saw the two people entangled together on the bed, she was utterly horrified.

Why is it Princess Xiangyi?

What should we do? That's the beloved daughter of the prestigious Prince Xuan's mansion.

"Quickly separate them." Zhu didn't know what to do, so she could only separate the two of them first.

The two old women were both elderly and didn't care that the two people doing good deeds were completely naked.

They forcibly separated the two and then wrapped them both in a blanket.

After venting their frustrations, the two have calmed down and are slowly coming to their senses.

At this moment, Gu Ce and Rong Yingluo walked in.

"Oh, so it's Princess Xiangyi. You've really gone too far. Are all noble ladies this promiscuous?" Rong Yingluo mocked fearlessly.

"Gu Ce, Rong Shi, you, you..." Princess Xiangyi saw Rong Yingluo standing unharmed in front of her, what else did she not know?

The Rong family escaped her scheme!

Seeing that both she and Gu Ce's hair were wet, they knew that Gu Ce had saved Rong Shi in time.

That damned Rong family, why don't they just die?

"Ah!" Princess Xiangyi screamed, "Rong Shi, how dare you scheme against me! You're courting death!" She now knew why she was having sex with a man here.

Only then did she realize who the man she had been having an affair with was—a纨绔 (a spoiled, dissolute young man) from Consort De's family.

Liu Changhua also regained consciousness.

He actually slept with the princess of the Xuanwang Mansion, which terrified him so much that he fell backward and fainted.

Whether it was a genuine or feigned dizziness remains unknown.

"Princess Xiangyi, what are you saying?" Rong Yingluo asked innocently.

"You...you're something else." Princess Xiangyi gritted her teeth, looking like she wanted to devour Rong Yingluo.

"Madam Zhao, let them get dressed first. I'll go find Prince Xuan and Lord Liu." Gu Ce only needed to see their embarrassed state with his own eyes to serve as witnesses.

He led Rong Yingluo out of the room.

Zhu's heart pounded; this was a huge matter.

There's no way the princess of Xuanwang Mansion could possibly be interested in Liu Changhua of the Liu family.

How could this matter be resolved peacefully? She had no idea. "Granny Bai, go and invite the old master over." Madam Zhu felt she couldn't handle this matter herself and could only ask her father-in-law for help.

Moreover, this matter cannot be publicized widely.

The royal family's reputation is more important than anything else.

Granny Bai knew what her mistress meant; she was to tell the old master about the matter first, so that he could be prepared.

Princess Xiangyi finished dressing, picked up a pillow and slapped it hard on Liu Changhua: "You shameless scoundrel, get up for me!"

At this moment, she vented all her anger on Liu Changhua.

Liu Changhua couldn't keep up the act any longer. He rolled over and got up, but still remembered to wrap the blanket tightly around himself.

"Princess, this has nothing to do with me. I know nothing. I thought I was sleeping with Yin Hong from the Yiqing Courtyard. Who knew it would be you?" Liu Changhua felt utterly wronged.

He just went to change his clothes, how did he suddenly faint?

His words only fueled Princess Xiangyi's anger.

"Damn it!" Princess Xiangyi cursed as she chased after him, comparing him to a courtesan.

"Princess, calm down. Things have come to this. Let Young Master Liu get dressed first," Zhu said helplessly. "Yes, yes, Princess, let me get dressed first, then we can talk properly," Liu Changhua dodged and weaved on the bed like a clown jumping around.

"Princess, I remember now, I was tricked. I went to change my clothes, but I don't know what happened, my neck hurt, and I fainted. Then I started having a dream, dreaming that I was playing with girls in the Yiqing Pavilion, and then..." Liu Changhua finally remembered what had happened in order to clear his name.

"You ignorant fool, how dare you treat me like a prostitute in a brothel! I'll beat you to death!" Princess Xiangyi was even angrier. This scoundrel compared her to a prostitute who had slept with a thousand men.

She wanted to kill him.

"Hurry up and stop the princess!" Madam Zhu couldn't stand it any longer.

If this continues, even when the old master arrives, Young Master Liu won't have a chance to get dressed.

The old woman stepped forward and grabbed Princess Xiangyi, making her unable to move, so that Liu Changhua had a chance to hide behind the bed and put on his clothes.

Just then, Prince Xuan, Liu Changhua's father Liu Chongqing, and Zhao Xianshan came in together. Seeing the mess on the bed, they knew what had just happened.

"Father, sob sob..."

Upon seeing Prince Xuan, Princess Xiangyi felt extremely aggrieved and threw herself into her father's arms, bursting into tears.

"What exactly happened?" Prince Xuan was furious. He had already seen the mark on his daughter's neck.

He was an experienced man and could tell at a glance that his daughter was being bullied by a man.
