Back at Marquis Jingyang's Mansion, Hongyu watched Lu Chenshuang leave the door and then hurried to Ci'an Hall to find her aunt, Madam Qi.

However, Nanny Qi was not in Ci'an Hall because she had something to do. Hongyu was so anxious that she stamped her feet. How could she miss such a good opportunity to bring down Lu Chenshuang?

It just so happened that Haiyue, another maid serving the lady, saw Hongyu.

She and Haiyun were both first-class maids serving the old lady, but she always felt that she did not have as much face as Haiyun in front of the old lady.

She also knew that Guyu and Xiaoman, who were by Lu Chenshuang's side, would send things to Haiyun from time to time.

So she was thinking of ways to curry favor with Aunt Qi recently. When she saw Hongyu, she quietly walked over and asked, "Hey, isn't this Sister Hongyu? Why are you here? Are you here to see Aunt Qi?"

Upon hearing this, Hongyu quickly replied: "My dear sister is right. I am here to look for my aunt. Where is she now? I have something urgent to ask her."

Haiyue smiled and said, "It's really unfortunate that my sister came. The lady just sent her out to do some work. She probably won't be back for a while."

Hongyu became anxious upon hearing this. She had clearly already told her aunt about it in the morning, but she didn't know whether her aunt had told the lady.

If you miss this opportunity, it will not be so easy to catch Lu Chenshuang in the future.

Seeing Hongyu like this, Haiyue said again: "If you trust me, it's the same if you tell me anything. If I can help you, I will definitely not refuse."

Even if Hongyu was stupid, she would not tell Haiyue directly about such a big thing, but she did not want to miss this opportunity.

So he rolled his eyes and said, "I want to see the lady."

Haiyue was a little surprised when she heard this. Ever since Chen Youfu stole last time, the lady had someone beat Hongyu with a stick and sent her to the kitchen to do odd jobs.

Hongyu always stayed away from the lady when she saw her, so why did she suddenly come to ask for a meeting today?

Thinking of this, Haiyue's smile remained unchanged, and she asked, "Sister, are you sure you want to see the Madam?"

Hongyu hesitated for a moment, but then nodded firmly, and then begged: "Good sister, please help me pass on the message and tell her that I have something very important to see the Madam, and it concerns the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion, and ask the Madam to see me.

Don't worry, I will speak well of you in front of my aunt and let you secure your position as the head maid in Ci'an Hall."

Haiyue was naturally happy to hear that, so she smiled and said: "Then I'll have to trouble you, sister.

I will go and report to the Madam."

After saying that, he turned around and went into the lady's room.

The lady had just woken up from a nap and Haiyun was helping her comb her hair.

Haiyue walked in and whispered, "Madam, Madam Qi's niece Hongyu wants to see you."

The Madam knew Hongyu, so she snorted coldly and said, "She dared to hang around me by relying on the face I gave her aunt. She is really not a quiet person. I won't see you!"

Haiyue quickly agreed upon hearing this, but she said casually: "In fact, I also advised her to leave quickly, but she looked quite anxious.

He said that it concerned the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion and he insisted that I make this trip.

I only agreed to this request for the sake of Madam Qi.

I will send her away right away."

When she heard Haiyue mention the word reputation, the lady's heart trembled, and then she said, "Wait a minute! Let her in. I want to see what important things she has to say."

Soon Hongyu was brought in by Haiyue.

The lady stared at Hongyu with a pair of cold eyes like a cold snake, and scared Hongyu so much that she fell to her knees with a plop.

Hongyu felt a little regretful at this moment. She shouldn't have come to see the lady so rashly. She should have waited for her aunt to come back.

But she had already arrived in front of the lady and could not keep silent.

The lady asked coldly: "You said you have something important to report, and it concerns the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion, so tell me now.

If this is true, this lady will naturally reward you handsomely.

If you dare to make up stories, be careful with your tongue! "

Hongyu was even more frightened when she heard what the Madam said. She kowtowed several times on the ground and said, "Madam, I dare not lie.

I heard this with my own ears, and I saw Madam leave with my own eyes.”

When the Madam heard that Hongyu was talking about Lu Chenshuang, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then tell me how Lu Chenshuang has ruined the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion.

I warn you, if you dare to make up stories, you will be killed immediately."

Hongyu quickly repeated what she had said to Nanny Qi.

The lady was shocked when she heard this. She looked at Hongyu and asked sternly, "Are you telling the truth?"

Hongyu quickly assured: "I dare not lie. I am willing to guarantee with my life that everything I said is true."

Originally, the lady also suspected that Hongyu was deliberately framing Lu Chenshuang, but seeing that she was so sure, she couldn't help but believe it a little.

When she thought of this possibility, the lady was so angry that her chest was heaving up and down with anger. She slammed the table and roared: "Lu Chenshuang actually dared to cheat on my son. She is really good.

The daughter of a minor official actually doesn't take my Jingyang Marquis Mansion seriously.

Come on, send someone to Baicaotang to bring Lu Chenshuang back to me! And bring the adulterer back to me as well.

He dares to cuckold my Jingyang Marquis Mansion, I want to see how brave Liang Youzhi is!

In addition, send someone to the Jingzhao Prefecture government office to ask Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Gao Liansheng to come.

I want to see how he protects his men."

Upon hearing this, Haiyue quickly agreed.

Hongyu fanned the flames again and said, "Madam, the secret affair between Madam and Liang Youzhi was spread through his personal maid Guyu.

I think you need to arrest her and torture her severely.

If we fail to catch Madam and Liang Youzhi in the act, Madam will not be able to deny it if we get Guyu's testimony."

After hearing what Hongyu said, the lady thought it made sense, so she ordered two maids in her yard to capture Guyu and bring him to Ci'an Hall.

Seeing this, Haiyun, who was standing by, also quietly left Ci'an Hall. Lu Chenshuang often sent Guyu to bring her things, so she and Guyu were best friends.

Now the lady has heard Hongyu's words and wants to torture Guyu, obviously wanting to force Guyu to confess.

It would definitely be too late for her to inform Guyu now, and if the lady knew that she had informed Guyu, she would definitely beat her to death.

When Haiyun was getting extremely anxious, he suddenly saw Laibao. Then he suddenly had an idea and walked up to Laibao and whispered something to him.

Laibao's face changed drastically after hearing this, and he immediately said: "Sister Haiyun, don't worry, I'll go right away."

After saying that, he ran towards the outside of Marquis Jingyang's mansion.
