Zhao Shuning was woken up.
She opened her eyes and looked out of the window bleary - eyed.
The sky was still dim, not fully bright yet.
Lin Feng was really impatient. So soon, he was eager to catch someone in the act of adultery.
Zhao Shuning got out of bed, put away the bedding, then nudged Huan'er who was still in bed. As soon as Huan'er opened her eyes and saw the young lady in front of her, she quickly wiped the drool from her mouth. Then she heard the noise outside.
She asked in surprise, "Young lady, what's going on? Why are you here?"
Zhao Shuning said, "Someone's here?"
"What are they here for?"
"To catch someone in the act of adultery?"
"Ah, young lady, what are you talking about?"
Zhao Shuning continued, "Huan'er, get up. The good show is about to begin."
Huan'er said, "No way, young lady. Even if they're going to catch someone in the act, shouldn't they wait until dawn? It's not even light yet. Why are they in such a hurry?"
Zhao Shuning sneered.
"Of course they're in a hurry. They're afraid that if they come late, the person will be gone. Then the scene they want to see will be ruined."
Although Huan'er didn't understand what Zhao Shuning meant, she didn't dare to dawdle. She quickly got up and put on her clothes, shoes and socks.
"Young lady, where did you sleep last night?"
"I slept in your room. Later, you just say that I was scared to sleep alone last night, so I stayed with you all night. Do you understand, Huan'er?"
"Don't worry, young lady. I understand. Where did you sleep? I don't sleep in a very proper position at night. Did I crush you?"
Zhao Shuning pointed to the floor.
Huan'er was so touched that tears welled up in her eyes.
Her young lady was so kind. In order not to disturb her sleep, she actually slept on the floor. What good fortune did she, Huan'er, have to meet such a wonderful young lady?
"Are you done packing?"
"Yeah."
"Why do you look so teary - eyed? Didn't you sleep well?"
"No, young lady. I'm fine."
Zhao Shuning nodded and looked out of the door.
At this moment, the leader was Lin Feng. Beside him were Lady Haitang, Beauty Xiao, and even Lady Xiang had come to join the fun.
Zhao Shuning lay on the window and watched.
Behind those people, there were quite a few servants and guests. It seemed that they were all guests who had stayed overnight in the Lin Mansion.
Lin Feng was really ruthless. Not to mention that Zhao Shuning's body carried the blood of the Lin family. Even if Zhao Shuning wasn't his relative.
He brought people here to catch someone in the act without thinking that if things were really as he thought, Zhao Shuning's whole life would be completely ruined, and she would have to marry Wen Bo.
However, that old scoundrel Lin Feng wouldn't care about these things.
The group of people rushed straight towards Zhao Shuning's room with a very clear purpose.
When they reached the front of Zhao Shuning's room, everyone stopped.
At Lin Feng's signal, Lady Xiang stepped forward.
Zhao Shuning could understand that although Lady Xiang was Lin Min'er's mother, and Lin Min'er was somewhat gentle, there were still many differences between them. Lin Min'er was strong - willed and wouldn't rely entirely on men.
But Lady Xiang was different.
"Young lady, what are they going to do? There's no one in your room."
Zhao Shuning whispered back, "Who said there's no one in my room? There's not only someone in my room, but also more than one."
"Ah?"
"Just keep watching."
Lady Xiang coughed a few times and then knocked on the door.
There was no movement inside.
At Lin Feng's signal, Lady Xiang knocked on the door louder.
A hazy voice came from inside.
"Who is it?"
"Shuning, it's me. I'm Lady Xiang. I came to see you. By the way, I want to ask if you've seen Young Master Wen. He disappeared after the welcome banquet last night."
The woman inside suddenly sat up.
She even woke up the man.
"Who is it, beauty? Why are you awake so early in the morning?"
The man's voice came out. A smug smile appeared on Lin Feng's face, and Lady Xiang's face turned deathly pale at that moment.
When Lin Qingying realized what had happened, her head buzzed, and she couldn't think anymore.
She was really tired last night, so she accidentally overslept today.
Lin Feng outside coughed.
"Wen Bo, what are you doing in Shuning's room? A man and a woman alone. It's improper. If Shuning's innocence is ruined by you, you have to be responsible for her for the rest of your life. Otherwise, I, Lin Feng, won't agree."
Lady Haitang also said, "Don't worry, sir. Now that Zhao Shuning has done such a shameless thing, her reputation is already ruined in the Eastern Ze Wilderness. Alas, it's a pity that you, sir, had high hopes for your granddaughter. But after all, she came from a mountain village. She can't compare with the gentle ladies from the big families. It's understandable that she would do such a thing."
"Shuning, come out. I'll stand up for you. If that Wen Bo boy bullied you, I'll surely make him responsible for you."
"What a disgrace."
Lady Haitang added insult to injury and kept sighing.
"If my daughter did such a dirty thing, I'd definitely make her kneel in the ancestral shrine for three days and three nights without food. I'd like to see how she has the face to face our ancestors."
Lin Feng turned around and said, "My lady, just say less. Shuning is a member of the Lin family now. If something happens, we'll stand up for her. Don't make this matter too big."
Zhao Shuning laughed.
Lin Feng's words were really ridiculous.
Don't make the matter too big? Then what was he doing bringing a bunch of outside onlookers here?
Also, since he didn't want Lady Haitang to add insult to injury and lead everyone astray, he could just ask her to step back. Was it necessary to act like a noble and virtuous saint in front of others?
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a roar came from the man inside.
"How could it be you!"
The people outside got anxious. Lin Feng didn't care about his dignity anymore and kicked open Zhao Shuning's door.
At this moment, Wen Bo was naked. He covered his private parts with the clothes scattered on the floor.
On the bed, it could be seen that someone was hiding under the quilt. The body was still trembling.
"Wen Bo, put on your clothes quickly."
The man quickly picked up the clothes on the floor and put them on.
Lin Feng glanced at Lady Xiang, signaling her to step forward and check.
"Shuning, it's okay. The master will stand up for you. Don't be afraid. No one wants this kind of thing to happen."
As Lady Xiang spoke, her tone seemed like she was about to cry.
"Master, Lady Haitang, what are you doing in my room?"
At this moment, a sleepy - eyed and properly dressed young girl appeared outside the door.
She looked at the people in the room with a puzzled face.
"Zhao Shuning, why are you outside?"
"I saw that there was no one in my yard last night. The noises of those animals at night scared me, so I went to sleep with Huan'er for the night. What's wrong? What happened?"
Zhao Shuning looked innocent, perfectly interpreting what it meant to be an outsider.
