Chapter 152 Lin Zhiyue's Wrath
Chapter 152 Lin Zhiyue's Wrath
When Lin Zhiyue arrived, he heard Xu Shiyi's mocking voice, and his lingering hope instantly sank.
It's all true!
Shuangshuang didn't come home all night; she was caught in bed with another man!
Gu Yunwei's vision went black. Shuangshuang had actually done something so shameful that their family had completely lost face!
Looking at the thousand taels of silver in front of her, Qin Shuangshuang felt extremely humiliated. Her innocence and reputation were only worth a thousand taels of silver.
That damned Yao Jinsheng! That damned Song Ruozhen!
If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation!
Just as she was about to speak, Lin Zhiyue stormed in, his face full of anger. "Qin Shuangshuang, how could you do this to me!"
Lin Zhiyue was furious, his eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his temples were bulging. He looked as if he wanted to kill someone on the spot!
Qin Shuangshuang panicked completely.
"Husband, please let me explain. It's not what you think. I was framed by them!"
Last night I was walking down the street perfectly fine when Yao Jinsheng's men drugged me. When I opened my eyes again, it was this morning. It really wasn't my choice!
Qin Shuangshuang cried with great grievance. From the moment she woke up in the morning and discovered that the person next to her was Yao Jinsheng, it was as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water. Then she was caught in adultery, beaten by her mother-in-law, and beaten by Madam Yao.
No one believed her. Yao Jinsheng and his wife relentlessly smeared her, leaving her speechless.
At this moment, Lin Zhiyue couldn't care less about what Qin Shuangshuang said. He looked at the unconscious Madam Lin on the ground, her hair disheveled, her cheeks swollen, and blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. His eyes were burning with rage.
"Madam Yao, your Yao family has committed such a despicable and shameless act, even knocking my mother unconscious. Shouldn't you give us an explanation for this!"
Xu Shiyi was momentarily shocked when she saw Lin Zhiyue appear, but she quickly recovered and sneered:
"Lord Lin, no, I forgot that you are now just a commoner."
It's your wife's own fault for being so indecent and trying to get into my son's bed. Now she's caused this mess. My son originally wanted to marry the Luo family's daughter, but now, your wife has ruined everything.
In terms of losses, our Yao family's losses are far greater than yours. You have an explanation for that? And where can we go to seek justice?
Yao Jinsheng, dressed neatly, walked out of the back room, his eyes full of disdain. "If I hadn't been drunk last night, I wouldn't have wanted this kind of trash!"
Qin Shuangshuang felt utterly humiliated upon hearing this. "You bastard! You're the one who ruined me, and now you're denying it!"
When Gu Yunwei heard that there was more to the story, a glimmer of hope rekindled in her heart.
"Shuangshuang, tell your mother what really happened. I will definitely get justice for you!"
"Mother!" Qin Shuangshuang threw herself into Gu Yunwei's arms and cried bitterly, "It's them, they've ruined me!"
Xu Shiyi watched this scene with a cold expression. She had seen similar things many times and was very good at handling them. She just didn't expect to be caught in bed with someone else this time, and for it to become public knowledge.
"Madam Yao, you are deliberately trying to ruin someone's reputation, I will never let you get away with this!" Gu Yunwei said angrily.
Regardless, the responsibility for this matter must be shifted onto the Yao family. Otherwise, it's one thing for Shuangshuang to be ashamed to face people, but for the Qin family to lose face as well, who knows how furious the general will be.
Upon hearing this, Xu Shiyi understood Gu Yunwei's meaning and sneered, "Madam Qin, you can't just throw out accusations like that."
You claim it was a deliberate act by my Yao family, but do you have any evidence? Without evidence, your actions are slander!
"Mother, report it to the authorities! We're sure we can find evidence if we report it to the authorities!" Qin Shuangshuang said anxiously.
Yao Jinsheng's eyes were full of disdain. "I am not married yet, and there are plenty of girls who want to enter our Yao family. Why would I need someone as unclean as you?"
"If you want to report it to the authorities, then go ahead and do so. I want to see whether people believe you or me!"
Xu Shiyi and Yao Jinsheng exchanged a glance, knowing that the other party had already cleaned up the mess and that no one would be able to find any evidence against them, and they were completely relieved.
"Let me give you a piece of advice: things have already gotten quite ugly. If you continue to make trouble, you'll be the ones who lose face!"
Xu Shiyi didn't seem to care. If this kind of thing gets out of hand, it's the woman who will suffer the most in terms of reputation.
As for the man, he would at most be ridiculed for a while. Besides, Yao Jinsheng's wife had died, and he had caused such a scene. At most, people would just say that he was inconsiderate for messing around with someone else's wife.
But as long as everyone believes that Qin Shuangshuang took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, then the impact on Sheng'er is not a concern at all.
Qin Shuangshuang's face turned pale. Xu Shiyi's composure was too much, making her worry that the other party might have destroyed the body and covered up the evidence. If that were the case, wouldn't there be no way to prove anything?
Lin Zhiyue had initially believed that Qin Shuangshuang might have really been bullied, but after seeing her speechless and the obvious panic flashing across her face, his heart sank completely.
He picked up Madam Lin and left without hesitation.
"Husband!" Qin Shuangshuang cried out anxiously.
However, Lin Zhiyue didn't even turn his head and strode away.
In that instant, Qin Shuangshuang suddenly felt that the unbreakable bond between them had shattered (⊙o⊙)………
……
When Song Ruozhen and her entourage returned to the manor, they found the people inside discussing the matter with great interest, their faces showing extreme excitement.
"Didn't He Xiangning like Young Master Xu? Why did she marry him and go so far as to slander our young lady? I never expected her to be so dissolute in private, actually mingling with so many men."
"The scene in Yong'an Lane this morning was truly extraordinary. When Madam He and two other ladies went to distribute porridge this morning, they witnessed a scene of debauchery and chaos. She even kept saying that the woman was shameless."
Who would have thought...who would have thought that the woman was her daughter? Her expression at that moment was absolutely priceless.
Song Zhiyu originally thought that they had just returned from watching the commotion at the Yao family's house, and even if the news traveled fast, it shouldn't have reached the mansion so quickly. But when he heard that it was about He Xiangning's romantic affairs, he was surprised.
"What are you talking about?" Liu Ruyan asked.
"Meet Madam."
When everyone saw that the lady had returned, they immediately composed themselves and bowed respectfully.
Liu Ruyan waved her hand, her eyes sparkling with curiosity, her face remaining dignified. "Tell me, what happened to He Xiangning?"
The servants then recounted in detail what had happened in Yong'an Lane that day.
Yong'an Lane was a gathering place for ordinary people, with a large flow of people. Although it was not as bustling as other streets, it had the most people. In addition, there were quite a few beggars there, and some wealthy families also set up soup kitchens on weekdays.
It just so happens that a soup kitchen has been set up these past few days, so there are a lot of beggars in that courtyard...
