Chapter 95 The younger brother-in-law hires someone to catch his sister-in-law cheating?
The closed door was suddenly kicked open with a bang after a series of noisy footsteps.
In an instant, a group of men and women surged in like a tide.
Inside the room, Lin Xingyao and Wei Qiming, their clothes disheveled, were embracing tightly, just one step away from their intimate encounter.
"My God, it seems the rumors were true!"
A high-pitched female voice broke the brief silence in the crowd, filled with surprise and excitement, as if she had discovered a huge secret.
"Pah, what a pair of adulterers!" A disdainful male voice rang out immediately afterward.
The murmurs of the crowd surged like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing Lin Xingyao and Wei Qiming.
Lin Xingyao's face turned deathly pale instantly. Her eyes widened in terror as she frantically pulled at her disheveled clothes, trying to wrap herself up tightly.
She was filled with remorse, regretting that she hadn't brought her maid with her. If she had had a trusted confidante by her side, she wouldn't have been so isolated and helpless, exposed to everyone.
In contrast, Wei Qiming, though somewhat flustered, quickly calmed down after all, being a seasoned veteran of the pleasure quarters.
He calmly picked up his clothes from the ground, put them on slowly and deliberately, and even had a nonchalant smile on his face.
It was as if all of this was nothing more than an insignificant farce.
However, things are far from that simple.
Hearing the commotion upstairs, the people dining on the first floor also rushed upstairs out of curiosity, wanting to find out what was going on. Among them were quite a few people who knew Lin Xingyao and Wei Qiming.
"Oh, isn't this Prince Wei? He's quite the ladies' man!"
A spoiled young man chuckled, his eyes gleaming with ill intent.
To have such an interesting and erotic scene while having a meal.
Lin Xingyao was filled with the thought of escaping this terrible place. She held back her tears and tried to squeeze out of the crowd.
But as soon as she moved, she was blocked.
The people were like an impenetrable wall, trapping her and Wei Qiming inside, leaving her nowhere to escape. Helpless tears finally welled up and streamed down her cheeks.
"The third young master of the Gu family is right, they really are having an affair here." Someone in the crowd shouted again.
At that moment, Gu Chengyan was sitting downstairs.
He was dressed in white, but a hint of sinister malice lurked in his eyes.
He was the one who orchestrated this whole thing, so how could he not come and see it?
However, he never expected that things would suddenly change, and the fire would spread to him.
"The younger brother-in-law has sent someone to catch his sister-in-law in adultery; the Marquis of Anyang's mansion is truly in chaos!"
The murmurs among the crowd rose and fell, creating a great stir.
Lin Xingyao's eyes instantly turned extremely hateful. So it was him?
She had no grudge against him...
Wei Qiming finally realized what was happening, and his face instantly turned ashen.
His eyes widened in fury, as if spitting fire. "So it was this bastard who plotted against me!"
He gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath, then suddenly pushed his way out of the crowd, charging towards Gu Chengyan like a raging bull.
Seeing that things were going badly, Gu Chengyan tried to escape, but it was too late.
Wei Qiming rushed forward, grabbed his collar, and swung his fist at his face.
With a loud "bang," Gu Chengyan was punched hard in the face. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he staggered a few steps.
"You little punk, how dare you scheme against me..." Wei Qiming cursed as he swung his fists repeatedly, each punch landing squarely.
Gu Chengyan covered his head with his hands, trying to avoid Wei Qiming's attack, while repeatedly begging for mercy: "It has nothing to do with me, I don't know anything!"
But his explanations seemed so pale and powerless in the face of Wei Qiming's anger.
The half-open door to the upstairs guest room slowly closed, and Chu Ruohan sat upright in a chair, elegantly picking up her teacup and taking a small sip.
Gu Cheng'an's idea of shifting the blame onto her is simply a pipe dream; there's no way he'll succeed!
She knew perfectly well that Gu Cheng'an was behind all of this.
It turns out that Gu Chengyan had someone send a letter to Lin Xingyao, imitating Chu Ruohan's handwriting.
He intended to use this to stir up trouble, so that Chu Ruohan would be resented by Lin Xingyao and get into trouble.
But to his utter surprise, Chu Ruohan had secretly switched the letter.
Now that Chu Ruohan has guessed that Gu Chengyan is the one behind it all, how could she just sit idly by and wait for her doom?
They were mortal enemies.
She couldn't get anyone involved with Gu Chengyan, but the maidservant beside Chu Nanxin was one of her people.
The maid who serves Chu Nanxin has been urging her to deliver soup to Gu Chengyan recently, so it wouldn't be difficult to find out his whereabouts.
She meticulously planned and waited for Gu Chengyan to walk right into her trap.
By this time, a large crowd had already gathered outside Qingfeng Tower.
This incident is no longer just a scandal involving Lin Xingyao and Wei Qiming; it also involves the conflict between the Marquis of Anyang's family, the Duke of Wei's family, and the Prince of Yong's family.
Trapped inside the house, Lin Xingyao watched the chaotic scene outside, her despair growing stronger.
She knew that her reputation was completely ruined, and no matter what the truth was, she would become a laughing stock.
Her eyes were empty and lost, tears streamed down her face, and she seemed to have lost her soul.
Just then, government officials arrived after receiving a report. They parted the crowd and entered Qingfeng Tower.
"Stop! Stop right now!" The lead constable was agile and rushed forward, forcefully separating Wei Qiming and Gu Chengyan with both hands.
When his gaze fell on Wei Qiming, his expression changed slightly, and a hint of surprise and hesitation flashed in his eyes. He had clearly recognized that this was the heir of the Duke of Wei.
"You bastard, how dare you interfere in my business!" Wei Qiming was in a fit of rage and didn't take the constable in front of him seriously at all.
Without saying a word, he slapped the constable across the face.
The slap was extremely powerful, and the crisp "smack" was particularly jarring in the noisy environment.
The entire Qingfeng Tower fell silent.
The constable was so badly slapped that he staggered, and a bright red handprint instantly appeared on his face.
He was taken aback at first, a flash of anger crossing his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
He instinctively covered his face, lowered his head, but forced a fawning smile, as if he hadn't been the one who had just been hit.
"Young Master, I truly did not know it was you."
"Get lost," Wei Qiming snorted coldly.
Gu Chengyan lay on the ground, blood on the corner of his mouth, his hair disheveled, looking extremely pathetic.
He struggled to his feet, pleading, "Gentlemen, you must do justice for me! He beat me without cause; this is utterly lawless."
Upon hearing this, Wei Qiming glared fiercely at Gu Chengyan, "Damn it, you still have the nerve to complain?"
Two constables immediately stepped forward and separated Gu Chengyan and Wei Qiming to prevent them from attacking again.
"Come back to the yamen with us!" said an unfamiliar constable with a stern face and an unquestionable air of authority in his eyes.
He turned and looked coldly at Wei Qiming, "And you too."
