Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 84: Chaos

"Madam, young master got into an accident!"

Ningyuan Marchioness was startled and asked sternly: "What happened? Why are you this panicked?"

The servant girl was about to speak, but upon seeing the Ningyuan Marchioness was surrounded by the surprised eyes of a group of madams, she was immediately blocked, unable to speak out. She merely stammered with a flushed face, seemingly finding it difficult to say.

When Ningyuan Marchioness saw the servant girl's attitude, her heart went 'thump', as if a heavy stone fell and sank down.

As it concerned her fiance, Jiang You Yao couldn't help stepping forward to ask: "What happened to heir Zhou?"

The servant girl seemed to have just noticed Jiang You Yao and became even more panicked. She dodged Jiang You Yao's question, but her sight faintly fell on Yang-shi.

Yang-shi was somewhat confused, but Ji Shuran abruptly glanced at Jiang Li. When she saw Jiang Li standing uprightly with a smile on the corner of her mouth, a terrible idea flooded her brain.

"No matter what," Ningyuan marchioness couldn't care less and just looked at the servant girl to say: "Where is the young master? Take me there!"

There's a sob in the servant girl's voice as she said: "Master and the others are all in Yu Xiu Pavilion....... There are still a lot of other respectable adults with them. Madam..... This time the young master is not good!"

She spoke vaguely, but everyone saw the look and movements on the servant girl's face and they understood a bit. If it was a simple 'not good', why was she so secretive? Saying that it wasn't good, it was clearly scandalous. Since there were many respectable adults following and watching, it's fine if it's not yet known for a while. When they returned to the residence and asked the master, they would naturally know what happened.

Hearing so, in an instant, Ningyuan marchioness's body shook and she almost fell. She was the main mistress of the Ningyuan residence and had been managing the household for many years. Based on the servant girl's manner, she could roughly guess what had taken place. But listening that there were many people, she at once knew it wasn't good. Since it was a scandal, naturally it was best for less people to know about it. The more people who saw it, wanting to cover it up in the future would be impossible.

Jiang Li stood beside Ji Heng, a mild smile hung on her face. To say so, Zhou Yan Bang was stupid, or perhaps he was bold and lusty. Hong Xiao Emperor and the court officials were chatting about the current politics at the side palace hall, not far from Yu Xiu Pavilion. The two rooms were so close, once Shen Ruyun made noise, these respected adults would of course arrive in the shortest time and would be able to clearly figure things out.

As such, Zhou Yan Bang's matter could be considered as known to each and every member of the court. Her painstaking effort was not in vain.

Ji Heng looked at the smile at the corner of Jiang Li's mouth and found it amusing. He also imitated her, remaining calm and collected as he stood, and he used the handle of his fan to press against his lips to cover the smile at the corner of his mouth.

On the other hand, Jiang You Yao didn't think to that extent. She wasn't concerned about chaos, but about Zhou Yan Bang. She didn't care about anything else and merely said: "Yu Xiu Pavilion? Madam, I'll go with you. Mother," she pulled Ji Shuran's sleeve," let's go and see together, okay?!"

Ji Shuran wished she could cover Jiang You Yao the most. With the words Jiang You Yao said, other people wouldn't think like that. In the Yan dynasty, it's understandable for a male and female who were betrothed to be a bit close. But those madams were guessing sentiments best kept secret. Their sights as they looked at Jiang You Yao contained a bit of sympathy.
