Chapter 14 Reap the consequences

Not long after, Lin Rong led a group of ladies and young ladies to the west wing.

"Mother, my sister and Young Master Li should be inside right now."

Lin Rong slapped her across the face. "Shut up! You dare to slander your elder sister without any evidence? You're tired of living."

"Please forgive me, Mother. I was just worried about my sister," Su Wanshan said, covering her face and looking at her with a wronged expression.

"I think you have ulterior motives."

"I don't have a daughter."

Lin Rong glanced at her disdainfully, then turned to look at the door of the west wing. She was terrified and couldn't imagine what would happen if Su Qianrou really appeared inside after she pushed open the door.

She didn't speak, and no one else dared to speak either. Su Wanshan wanted to urge her, but when she thought of the slap she had just received, she immediately chickened out.

Just then, Su Qianrou appeared behind them and asked in confusion, "What happened here? Why are you all gathered here?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at her, and someone couldn't help but exclaim, "Miss Su, what are you doing here?"

Su Qianrou said innocently, "Yuehong said that my sister was drunk and felt very unwell, so she asked me to come and see her, but I was delayed by something, so I am late." Then, she asked nervously, "You are here, but has something happened to my sister?"

Lin Rong quickly walked up to her, looked her over, and was relieved to see that she was alright.

"Mother, shouldn't you be having a banquet right now? Why are you here?" Su Qianrou asked knowingly.

"Su Wanshan, didn't you say that a maid saw the eldest young lady and young master Li enter the west wing and that something unspeakable happened? Now, Rou'er is standing here unharmed. How do you explain that?" Lin Rong immediately turned her attention to Su Wanshan.

"I..." Su Wanshan was completely stunned when she saw Su Qianrou appear here, not knowing what was going on. Then, she thought of something and asked, "Sister, did you just arrive?"

Su Qianrou did not answer her question, but instead asked, "Didn't Yuehong say that my sister was drunk and felt very unwell? But looking at my sister, she doesn't seem to be drunk."

Su Wanshan said awkwardly, "How could I be drunk? Sister, please don't joke like that."

"Whether it's a joke or not, my sister can ask Yuehong to find out."

Su Wanshan felt a bad premonition when she realized that the person who had informed her that the matter was settled was not Yuehong, but someone she had never met before.

Just then, a sound came from the room, as if something had been broken, followed by a woman's charming voice reaching everyone's ears.

The young ladies blushed instantly, extremely shy.

Lin Rong's face darkened as she stared intently at the room.

Madam Wang, wife of Provincial Governor Wang, said, "It seems there really is someone in this room. I wonder who is so bold as to dare to meet here in secret."

“What Madam Wang says is true. I am also very curious about who is so audacious and reckless as to do such a disgraceful thing in our Su family.” Then, Lin Rong ordered, “Someone, open the door for me. I want to see who is inside.”

"Yes," Li Mama replied, then went to open the door.

Lin Rong and several other ladies followed her inside, while the young ladies waited outside.

The room was a mess, with traces of lovemaking everywhere. The smell filled the entire room, and the ladies instinctively covered their noses with handkerchiefs, their faces full of disgust.

Then, upon seeing the two people on the bed, they turned around simultaneously, but neither of them could see them clearly.

Although Yuehong was naked, she was pinned down by Li Quanwei, so only her thighs were visible.

As for Li Quanwei, although he had taken off his pants, he was still wearing a long gown, which covered him completely, so the ladies didn't see anything and didn't even know who he was.

Lin Rong said coldly, "I'll give you fifteen minutes to get dressed and come out." Then, she looked at Madam Wang and said, "Madam Wang, please excuse our rudeness. We'll wait outside."

Madam Wang did not speak and walked out, followed closely by Lin Rong and the other ladies.

Before Li Quanwei and Yuehong could react, they had already left. Afterwards, the two of them came to their senses and regained their senses.

Li Quanwei then recognized the person in front of him. "How come it's you? Where's Su Qianrou?"

Yuehong didn't answer, but instead started crying in distress.

Li Quanwei got off her with disdain. "Useless thing, all you do is cry. Hurry up and get up to serve me. Do you expect me to serve you?"

Yuehong knew that things had come to this point, and she would most likely be sent to the Li residence. For the sake of her future life, she had to please Li Quanwei. So, disregarding her shyness, she got up slowly and helped him get dressed.

Meanwhile, apart from Su Qianrou, all the other ladies present were very curious about who was having a secret rendezvous inside, so they all stared intently at the doorway, including Su Wanshan.

However, she was more worried and afraid that the person who came out was Yuehong. If that were the case, then she, as the master, would definitely be implicated. So, she couldn't help but start thinking of a way to deal with it.

Before long, a group of ladies came out, and the young ladies couldn't wait to go up to them.

Xu Linlin couldn't help but ask, "Mother, who is inside?"

Madam Xu glared at her, and Xu Linlin stopped asking questions, but couldn't help looking inside.

A little over fifteen minutes later, Yuehong and Li Quanwei finally came out. They had only tidied themselves up briefly, and there were still some stains left on their clothes.

Upon seeing that it was Li Quanwei, the ladies did not react much, as if it was both unexpected and reasonable.

The young ladies couldn't help but start gossiping.

When Su Wanshan saw Yuehong come out, her last glimmer of hope was completely shattered. Looking at her, she gritted her teeth and said, "Yuehong, why are you with Young Master Li? What exactly is going on?"

Yuehong didn't answer, but instead secretly glanced at Su Qianrou.

Su Wanshan noticed her movements and followed her gaze, finding that she was looking at Su Qianrou. She instantly understood, but what she couldn't understand was how Su Qianrou had found out. However, she didn't have time to think about that now.

"Yuehong, you have quite the nerve," Lin Rong scolded.

Yuehong hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Please have mercy, Madam! Please have mercy, Madam! I know I was wrong, please have mercy, Madam!"

Madam Li stepped forward and slapped Li Quanwei, saying, "You scoundrel, how dare you act recklessly in the Su residence!"

Li Quanwei also knelt down, saying, "Your son knows he was wrong, please punish him, Mother."

Madam Li snorted coldly, then looked at Lin Rong, "Madam Su, my Li family has failed in educating our son, allowing him to do such a shameless thing. We are truly sorry. We will definitely come to apologize on another day."

"Madam Li, you are too kind. Our Su family also bears responsibility for this matter... Tomorrow, I will have someone send this maid along with her indenture to the Li residence. As for how Madam Li and Lord Li will deal with her, our Su family will not say a word."

"Thank you, Madam Su."

Then, Lin Rong looked at Madam Wang and the others, "I'm sorry to have kept you all from having your meal. It's getting late, so let's go back and have our meal. This way, please... Madam Wang, please."

Madam Wang was the first to leave.

Before leaving, Lin Rong gave Li Mama a look.

Granny Li understood and nodded.

Then, Lin Rong walked quietly to Madam Wang's side and left with her.

Others followed suit.

Granny Li stayed behind.
