Chapter 469 The heroic scholar and his neighbor, the pretty widow (bushi)
The heroic scholar and his neighbor, the pretty widow (bushi)
Si Shuyi was filled with joy, and couldn't wait to go to the side room with Si Kouhong and a group of guests.
As she walked, she did not forget to say that she had put a lot of effort into preparing this gift.
Si Kouhong was a little impatient. Although Si Shuyi was a legitimate daughter, she was just a girl. What kind of gift could she prepare?
Moreover, he originally just wanted to find an opportunity to take a breath of fresh air, but now he has to bring this group of people who give him weird looks from time to time to watch his birthday party. What's the difference between this and watching a monkey show?
Si Kouhong was upset but he didn't show it on his face, he looked like a friendly and respectful brother.
They made quite a bit of noise, attracting the attention of many servants.
"What are the prince and the young lady going to do? Why are they bringing all those guests with them?"
"I'm not sure, but it seems that the young lady gave something rare to the prince?"
"Then why did you go to the side room? Could it be that this gift was sent by the Marquis and the young lady together?"
"What does this have to do with the Marquis?"
"Just now I saw a sister in the mansion taking the Marquis to the side room. The prince and the young lady also went there. Isn't it that the Marquis and the young lady teamed up to give a gift to the prince?"
The group walked around the corridor and soon arrived at the door of a side room.
Before he could stop, he heard the obscene sounds of sex between a man and a woman coming from the side room.
Si Kouhong's face suddenly darkened, "Is this the gift you said you would give me?"
The other guests also looked at Si Shuyi in astonishment.
Si Shuyi just felt happy.
Now the eldest brother just doesn’t know who is inside. When he knows who is inside, he will definitely praise himself.
When she thought about Song Ning being discovered by everyone doing something disgusting in there, she felt extremely happy and her tone became excited.
"That's right!"
Si Kouhong didn't expect that she actually agreed. What was Si Shuyi thinking?
No matter who is inside, if the news gets out that Si Shuyi brought him here today to catch an adulterer as a gift, no matter who is inside, others will inevitably say that the family traditions of the Zhennan Marquis Mansion are so unrefined.
A biological sister takes her brother to catch him cheating as a gift, so what kind of affair can be a gift to him?
Si Kouhong was feeling a headache when suddenly a person's name popped up in his mind.
He looked at Si Shuyi suddenly and uttered a name in disbelief.
"Who is inside? Could it be..."
"That bastard from the country, he is not worthy of you, big brother."
As soon as Si Shuyi opened her mouth, Si Kouhong had no time to react and her heart skipped a beat.
Si Shuyi didn't notice the change in his expression and continued pretending.
"Brother, Song Ning is not worthy of you at all. He is a lowly bastard from the countryside. He has no shame in moving into the mansion before he even gets married. My maid Wanyun even found out that he has been having an affair with a lowly maid in the mansion for a long time. I was planning to tell father, but father has been protecting him, so I specially asked someone to keep an eye on this lowly bastard. Sure enough, I found out that he is having an affair with a lowly maid again. It turns out that lowly bastards are lowly bastards!"
Her eyes were wide open with excitement, as if she was about to rush over and open the door for Sikouhong in the next second.
But the next second, Si Kouhong slapped her hard in the face, and half of her face immediately swelled up.
"Brother?"
Si Shuyi couldn't believe it.
Si Kouhong took a deep breath and turned around.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all today. My sister has been close to several concubines since she was young. We used to think that it would be fine for the girls to be together, but we didn't expect that it would harm her instead."
In a few words, he threw the problem of Si Shuyi's upbringing onto his half-sister and the concubine of the Marquis of Zhennan.
After hearing his words, Si Shuyi realized one thing: she was too excited just now and shouldn't have brought people here in person.
Sikouhong quickly cleaned up her mess, but she also felt that this stupid sister did do one thing right.
He was indeed dissatisfied with a man taking the position of his principal wife, but if he succeeded in catching the adulterer today, it would mean that Song Ning had let him and their Zhennan Marquis Mansion down, and Mr. He Gui and his faction would naturally owe them a lot. If he could seize this opportunity and turn the situation around, he would not need to marry a man at all, and he would also be able to manipulate Mr. He Gui's connections at will.
Thinking of this, Si Kouhong sighed deliberately again.
"But no matter how eccentric she is, she is doing it for me, her big brother. I can only appreciate her kindness."
He showed a trace of hurt expression, "But I really didn't expect that Mr. Hegui's grandson would do such a thing even though he knew that we were engaged."
"Sir."
"Sir."
Si Kouhong staggered a little, and immediately a servant rushed up to support him.
Sikouhong waved his hands, pretending to be strong, turned around and clasped his fists towards the door.
"Mr. Song should have heard it. You are all witnesses to what happened today. I, Si Kou Hong, want an explanation from you. Since you knew that you had an engagement with me, Si Kou Hong, why did you do such a thing? Could this be Mr. He Gui's teaching? I'm sorry, I really don't agree with it."
There was silence outside the door.
Everyone stared at the door with burning eyes. What a big show!
There seemed to be some noise inside the door, and the place became quiet for a while. But soon, the unbearable sound of the affair between the man and woman could be heard as usual!
Sikou Hong was furious. What did Song Ning think of him?
"Did the people here not hear clearly what the prince said?"
"I'm not sure, but it's impossible that he didn't hear such a loud noise."
"I didn't expect that Mr. Hegui's grandson would be such a shameless person."
"The prince is really a pitiful man. I originally thought that Mr. Song had an extraordinary temperament and should be a strange man like Mr. Hegui."
"How can he not be considered a remarkable person? He knew that we were waiting outside the door but still had the audacity to indulge in romantic affairs. What kind of remarkable person is he?"
The guests' discussions fell into Sikou Hong's ears. Although he was furious, he was also very happy at the same time.
There was also a guest from the Hegui faction who hesitated for a while and couldn't help but speak.
"How can you so wantonly pin the crime on Master Song before you even see who is inside?"
"Yes, yes. What if it's just two daring servants?"
Si Kouhong turned his head at the right time.
"So that everyone knows, the rules of my Zhennan Marquis Mansion have always been the strictest. A servant would never do such a daring thing. It can only be someone from outside the mansion..."
"Eh? Prince, didn't your maid ask me to wait for you in the pavilion? I've been waiting for a long time and didn't see you coming over to relax, so why are you all here?"
A clear young voice suddenly sounded from behind the crowd, and Sikou Hong turned his head abruptly.
If it’s not Song Ning, then who else could it be?
