The beloved is reborn as a substitute, and the tyrant begs for forgiveness every night.

After learning that Jiang Xiuxiu was not there, all the guests became curious.

There were always those of higher status than Jiang's father and mother who raised questions.

In this way, the fact that Jiang's mother was not present could no longer be hidden.

"Lord Jiang, we should be looking for your wife and daughter now. We don't want to be enjoying ourselves here while they are nowhere to be found."

Some officials who had political differences with Jiang's father openly mocked him.

Father Jiang snorted coldly, "Then there's no need for you all to trouble yourselves."

Even so, he still felt somewhat uneasy.

Jiang's father was summoned, and Xu Leyao asked her to go and look for him.

However, he was unaware that his act of calling himself Xu Leyao had been witnessed by someone with ulterior motives.

As a result, as soon as Xu Leyao left, a lot of tails followed.

Xu Leyao wasn't unaware of the little tails following her, she just didn't care.

The bigger the commotion is, the better.

Only when the matter escalated significantly did the Third Prince have no choice but to respectfully welcome Jiang Xiuxiu into his residence.

In this way, Jiang Xiuxiu gained a certain position in the Third Prince's residence, which would naturally be useful in the future.

Xu Leyao's lips curled slightly, and then she led the cemetery into the backyard.

Of course, she didn't go straight to the room where Jiang Xiuxiu was.

If that's the case, then the purpose is far too obvious.

That would inevitably make us a laughing stock.

People are more likely to trust things when they happen unexpectedly.

Xu Leyao and Zhu'er searched several courtyards, but found nothing.

Just then, she seemed to hear a sound.

Xu Leyao stopped and closed her eyes to carefully search for the source of the sound.

Seeing Xu Leyao like this, the little followers behind her also imitated her.

Sure enough, they also heard some indescribable sounds.

Besides the young ladies from prominent families, several young gentlemen were also involved.

The young ladies from noble families blushed with embarrassment, but the young masters understood exactly what this decadent music was.

They pointed at each other and laughed.

It's not surprising that these people are here, after all, they are well-known playboys in the capital.

Xu Leyao naturally heard the sound as well, and then headed towards its source.

Seeing that Xu Leyao had already started walking, the people behind her naturally followed.

Sure enough, Xu Leyao stopped in front of a courtyard.

Standing at the entrance of the courtyard, the decadent music became even more noticeable.

Xu Leyao's face turned ugly.

She pointed to the door, then had the guards who followed her kick it open.

Xu Leyao deliberately raised her voice, intending it for the people behind her to hear.

However, her face showed an expression of righteous indignation.

"Today is my coming-of-age ceremony. I want to see which young master or lady has done such a filthy thing on my coming-of-age occasion!"

She had laid the groundwork beforehand, which further piqued the curiosity of those who followed her.

The guards kicked the door open and saw two snow-white bodies entangled inside.

It is clear that the two were having an affair.

Xu Leyao turned her eyes away with a grim expression, then ordered the guards to separate them.

Such a commotion naturally woke up the people inside the house.

The people inside gradually came to their senses under everyone's watchful eyes, and then, filled with shame and indignation, they dressed themselves.

When the two people stood in front of the crowd, fully dressed.

They then realized that these were actually Xu Leyao's adopted sister, Jiang Xiuxiu, and the Third Prince.

Those who had followed exchanged glances, their eyes filled with increasing interest.

They never imagined that the Third Prince and Xu Leyao's sister were committing adultery here.

I had heard that Jiang Xiuxiu didn't respect Xu Leyao much, and that the two of them had a rather unpleasant falling out.

Now it seems that's really the case.

The Jiang family's self-righteous attempt to cover things up was of no use in the eyes of these aristocratic families.

They have all the information they need to know.

Later, news spread that Xu Leyao and Jiang Xiuxiu had reconciled; these people had even made a bet.

In retrospect, it was nothing more than a superficial harmony.

The people who came with her all had their own thoughts, but now they all wanted to see how Xu Leyao would handle this matter.

Xu Leyao looked at them with an equally unpleasant expression.

"Third Prince, today is my coming-of-age ceremony. It is a once-in-a-lifetime ceremony for a woman, and you have given me such a big surprise. I really cannot accept it."

Xu Leyao's sarcastic remarks made the Third Prince blush with embarrassment.

He opened his mouth to explain, but he himself didn't know why he was there.

But he didn't know how to say it.

The Third Prince only remembered feeling a sudden heat in his body, and then he went out to move around. He didn't know much about what happened after that.

Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid he was tricked and accidentally ate those dirty things.

Thinking of this, a shadow flashed across the Third Prince's eyes.

However, he lacked confidence when facing Xu Leyao.

If we were to trace the origin of what the Third Prince ate at the Jiang family's banquet today, we might still be able to find out.

However, the heat in his body occurred before he came to the banquet at the Jiang family's house.

Thinking about all this, the Third Prince sighed helplessly.

"Today I have ruined Miss Jiang's coming-of-age ceremony, and it is indeed my fault. Miss Jiang, please accept the punishment."

Upon hearing the Third Prince's words, Xu Leyao's lips curled into a cold smile.

At first glance, it seems that he is taking responsibility for his actions, but that is not the case.

Xu Leyao knew about the little tail following behind her, and the Third Prince naturally knew as well.

Besides, he's not blind.

Those who were sneaking around behind Xu Leyao just now are now openly standing out to watch the show.

If the Third Prince were to turn a blind eye, it would be a gross underestimation of their humanity.

At this moment, for the sake of his reputation, the Third Prince had no other choice.

Moreover, he always felt that even if Xu Leyao wanted to punish him, she should at least save him some face.

After all, he was a prince of the royal family.

If Xu Leyao does anything excessive to him, Zheng Zhihe will definitely not let her off the hook.

The third prince was the most promising of the three princes, and that was the source of his confidence.

However, Xu Leyao wasn't buying it.

Although the Third Prince is Zheng Zhihe's bloodline, Zheng Zhihe is not going to punish Xu Leyao for the sake of the Third Prince when he is infatuated with her.

Besides, Xu Leyao was the one who "suffered injustice" in today's incident.

Even if this matter gets out, others will only say that the Third Prince is inconsiderate of the occasion and has no sense of ethics or respect.

It's truly shameful for someone attending a banquet to do something like this.

Clearly, the Third Prince was aware of all this, which is why he spoke to Xu Leyao, hoping she would give him a way out.
