Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 293: I Have a Secret to Tell You!

"Yushu, Yushu!"

An urgent figure rushed in, leading the way, followed by Lady of the Southern Country and several female companions, either family members of important ministers or some young ladies.

After the man rushed in, he searched around and finally his gaze fell on a bed in the side chamber.

The bed was bulging from inside and out, as if two people were hugging each other to sleep, which made the man’s face change drastically, pointing at the bed with a pained expression. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Yushu... No, Yushu, you can’t do this!"

The man cried out heartbrokenly and dashed in like a madman.

"Yushu, you actually collude with another man, you... how can you do this?"

The man’s expression was exaggerated, appearing extremely angry and distressed. It was truly ridiculous, the bedcover hadn’t been lifted yet, but he assumed she was having an affair with another man?

"Yushu, we’re about to get married, and you did such a thing, and it’s during the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet. You... you really disappoint me!"

The man continued his exaggerated performance over there, and the female companions behind were curious. Such a catching-in-the-act drama was too interesting, although they had seen similar scenes more than once, seeing it again still made them excited.

"Mr. Zhao, you should first lift the bedding and take a look. What if it’s not as you imagined?"

Someone in the crowd said.

"That’s right, better take a look, don’t misunderstand the situation."

In fact, those who spoke were all people who enjoyed watching the commotion and never found it bothersome. In such situations, if genuinely considerate of the other party, they should silently retreat and say nothing.

But if the bedding was lifted and they saw such an unbearable scene, Pei Yushu’s reputation would be utterly ruined.

"Then let’s lift it!"

Lady of the Southern Country, Xue Mingzhu, glanced at the lumps on the bed with indifference and let out a cold laugh.

In this world, as long as a man had been involved with her, no other woman should wish to touch him, whether intentional or accidental. If anyone dared to mess with her man, they would have to pay a painfully heavy price!

And Zhao Zhao, the man who first kicked the door open, had designed all this, leaving Xue Mingzhu quite satisfied. This man was still salvageable.

Following Xue Mingzhu’s command, a nanny immediately went up to lift the bedding. At this moment, Pei Yushu’s personal maid, Yuping, turned pale and rushed to stop them.

"No, don’t, my miss is okay. She’s just too tired and wants to rest for a while. I was just hallucinating earlier. Please don’t disturb my miss resting!"

Seeing Yuping’s panicked expression and nervous glance, indeed, this maid seemed like a loyal defender, quickly driving people away when the situation seemed bad.

But the people were here; how could they leave so easily?

An older nanny stepped forward to push her aside and quickly approached the bed, grabbing the bedding and forcefully lifting it.

"Hmm..."

A soft moan came with the annoyance of being disturbed from a nap, and the woman on the bed slowly opened her eyes, looking in surprise at the varied expressions of the crowd, then showing confusion.

But the confusion lasted only for a moment, followed by a piercing scream: "Ah—ah—ah!"

Pei Yushu screamed, pulling the bedding to cover herself, and pointed at them in a delicate voice, saying: "What are you... what do you want to do? Get out, get out!"

"Miss Pei, you’re having an affair here in the Empress Dowager Palace. Have you considered the Empress Dowager’s feelings? Have you considered your fiancé Mr. Zhao’s feelings?"

Lady of the Southern Country, Xue Mingzhu, stepped forward, her gaze coldly sweeping over another figure on the bed, as it was a back-facing view, with long hair covering half of them, making it hard to discern gender.

But the person who reported had said they saw him enter Pei Yushu’s room and pounce on her, so there shouldn’t be any mistake.

Thus, Xue Mingzhu dared to reprimand like this.

Yet facing such questioning, the girl on the bed showed no shame or fear, still looking bewildered.

"What are you... what nonsense are you talking? I don’t understand a word of it?"

"Humph, no need to understand. We caught you in adultery publicly and it’s during the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet, utterly outrageous! Come, drag this disgraceful woman out, and this foolhardy man, take them away together and let Prime Minister Pei see clearly what kind of daughter he raised!"

With her command, two guards suddenly rushed in to seize Pei Yushu.

Pei Yushu retreated in panic, shrinking into a corner.

Just as the guards closed in, "Ah—", someone yawned.

The person assumed to be "male" on the bed moved, first stretching lazily, then turned over.

"He" opened his eyes and looked at the crowd opposite.

"Hey? What are you... what are you doing?"

"You..."

Lady of the Southern Country, Xue Mingzhu, looked in shock at the person sitting up from the bed, disbelief widening her eyes.

Equally horrified was Zhao Zhao.

Earlier, he wanted to perform a bit more, but since Xue Mingzhu intervened, there was nothing for him to do. If he added to it now, it would seem deliberate.

But who could tell him what’s going on?

What about the man who was brought in? Where did he go? How come the person on the bed turned out to be a woman?

"Hey, what’s... what’s going on, Yuping? Didn’t you say your miss was bullied by a man? You said it was a man, how come it’s a woman?"

"Um, isn’t this Pang Longyue? That Evil Woman Li, how could it be her?"

Many of the wealthy ladies present knew Long Yue and immediately started shouting.

Xue Mingzhu looked at Long Yue with resentment.

This vile woman spoiled her plans!

And not just once! She was truly infuriating!

"Yes, it’s me. What, if it’s not me, would it be someone else? Isn’t your question a bit bizarre?"

Long Yue pulled the bedding over herself too, as she was only wearing an undergarment, with Zhao Zhao and the guards present, it was rather inconvenient.

"Why are you here?"

With the plan failed, Yuping angrily questioned in a sharp voice.

Long Yue blinked, looking at this servant who betrayed her master for gain with a half-smile, coldly said: "Ridiculous, Sister Yushu and I are good friends. Since I returned to Capital City, I haven’t gotten close to her. This time I seized the chance to see her, talk heart-to-heart. Why not?

But as for you, bringing so many people to disturb your miss’s peace, what are your intentions?"

"I, I..."

Yuping stumbled back a step, rendered speechless by Long Yue’s questioning.

She looked at Pei Yushu in terror, seeing only a cold face, knowing she was finished, the miss had probably figured out her betrayal!

As Yuping didn’t know what to do, Xue Mingzhu suddenly spoke: "Yuping, did you just confirm a man entered here?"

Upon hearing this, Yuping felt Lady of the Southern Country was still protecting her, quickly nodded vigorously, oblivious that this nod meant she shouldered the entire blame.

"Come, search, comb through this place inside and out, let’s see if something unsavory is hidden!"

Following Xue Mingzhu’s command, five or six guards flooded in, conducting a thorough search, leaving no corner untouched.

An incense stick later, the guard leader stepped forward: "Reporting to Madam, nothing, found nothing!"

"This, how..."

Xue Mingzhu was dumbstruck, she had thought at most Long Yue discovered the man and promptly hid him. Whether or not on the bed, as long as they found him in this side chamber, it would ruin Pei Yushu. The marriage between Zhao Zhao and her would naturally be annulled, but...

Why was it like this?

Utterly baffled, Xue Mingzhu looked at Long Yue and sneered coldly: "Fine, very fine! We’re leaving!"

Having not caught anyone and disrupted others’ private talk, the awkwardness was palpable. Even knowing something was amiss, without evidence, Xue Mingzhu couldn’t twist the truth openly before so many people — she had no choice but to leave.

The large group arrived grandly and left grandly, returning with a sense of disappointment.

Once Xue Mingzhu departed, Pei Yushu cautiously peeked out, then grabbed Long Yue tightly and said: "Sister Yue, I need to tell you a confidential matter regarding Lady of the Southern Country!"
