The First Mistress and Her Three Husbands and Four Servants Chapter 33: Caught in the Act!

  Alright, I'm shameless. I went back again.

  In order not to be discovered by Chun Yu, I made an effort to keep a distance. Once, I discussed martial arts with Nan Gong and said that some top martial artists can hear if someone is eavesdropping from over 100 meters away. When Nan Gong heard this, he burst out laughing and said "You're telling stories, aren't you?"

  I was surprised that there were still some here, but Nan Gong asked instead: Don't you have any over there? Then he looked at me with a gaze as if looking at a wild man from the deep mountains and old forests for a long time.

  That's why I thought this distance was safe. But this distance... is also a bit too far, isn't it? I can barely see Jun Yu's figure anymore.

  I laboriously climbed up a large willow tree, as for the posture of climbing trees, I think everyone won't want to know. In the distance, there is an orchard, at this moment it's late spring, the orchard is in full bloom like brocade, if not from high above, you can't see the shadow of people inside.

  Xun Yu's slender figure was adorned with small flowers, standing deep within the orchard. It could be said that among people, there were flowers, and among flowers, there were people. Across from him stood a figure clad in emerald green, Cold Moon Jade. The two seemed to not be speaking to each other, I saw them both standing silently. At this moment, I regretted not having studied the art of sensing aura, to apply my inner energy, so far away, I could only see, but not hear, my heart itched, and I scratched the tree.

  "What's wrong with you?" I scolded, what did he say anyway. The two of them stood facing each other, but gradually, it seemed that Leng Yueyao's emotions were stirred up again, Chun Yu also became anxious, and the two of them couldn't help but pull and tug at each other.

  My... My lovely little fox is no longer innocent. But as long as his dishes are delicious, I don't care if he's pure or not.

  Suddenly, "plop plop plop" a bird flew over my head towards that fruit forest, the black shadow of the bird and its familiar eyes, it's that magpie!

  "With a thud, my heart skipped a beat. I suddenly had an ominous premonition that this world's eight million magpies wouldn't coincidentally have me encounter the one from Jia Mingkai's residence again. And yet it was just one magpie, what was I worried about?"

  Although I told myself not to be suspicious, my heart became more and more uneasy.

  Just then, a group of people came from the other side of the orchard. I was shocked because they were too far away to see clearly, but judging by their clothes, they should be officials. How could there be officials here? Is it an ambush?!

  For some reason, the words "circle trap" floated into my mind. My heart panicked and I unconsciously loosened my grip on Liu Shu's hand, resulting in me falling straight down from the willow tree.

  "Whoosh!" Golden stars flashed before my eyes, and treasures flew about. I vaguely saw someone hovering above me, he leaned down, and then I heard his voice: "Elder sister is so enthusiastic, standing so high to see further?"

  Jia Shaohua! He sprang awake, his face filling my vision. He seemed delighted, and the corners of his mouth rose even higher: "Cousin, are you angry?" Jia Shaohua leaned over me, a triumphant smirk on his face. "Of course, seeing your favorite Shilang with an old flame in secret, how could you not be angry?" A magpie landed on his shoulder, gazing down at me with him.

  "Here, here." The magpie flapped its wings and to my surprise, this magpie could talk! I suddenly recalled the conversation between Chun Yu and Leng Yue Yao that day... Suddenly, Jia Shao Hua leaned in close to me, I immediately turned my face away, Jia Shao Hua stopped at my neck, sniffing lightly: "Cousin, what perfume are you using? It smells so good, I want to buy some for my concubines too..."

  Jia Shaohua teased me in my ear, I suddenly pushed him away, stood up, Jia Shaohua supported his waist with one hand and held Ba Ge with the other, Ba Ge's green bean-like eyes narrowed, and I somehow felt a hint of mockery.

  "Hahaha......" The eighth brother burst out laughing, "Hahaha......" That laughter was eerie and abnormal.

  He didn't have time to think much and ran towards the orchard.

  "Sister, slow down, don't fall again."

  I refuse to accept it, how can I lose to a sparrow? If this is what Jia Mingkai said to make me look good, then I'd rather die than admit it! It's okay, as long as I go and say that I invited Leng Yueyao, and then left for a while due to an emergency... But this doesn't make sense either, who gets an emergency on a tree?

  My mind was in a mess, but when I ran into the orchard, my mind wasn't messy anymore, it just suddenly went blank.

  In the fruit forest, there were guards everywhere.

  This is the largest adultery scene I have ever seen in history.

  "You unfilial daughter!" The angry shout startled the birds hiding in the orchard, my heart sank to the bottom, and Cold Duke also arrived, this time it's really getting out of hand.

  If I had stopped Jun Yu Xian Xian this morning, if I hadn't been softhearted for a moment, if I... But everything is already too late.

  In the fruit forest, it should be the Cold County King's guard, only heard them whispering: ?

  "It's Madame Defender of the Nation, Madame Defender of the Nation has arrived."

  "Everyone get out of the way, hurry up!"

  "Madam, welcome."

  I mechanically forced out a smile, what's next?

  "Empress Dowager!" The Cold Prince saw me, and I searched for Leng Yue Yao and Chun Yu's figures. They were surrounded by guards in the distance. Leng Yue Yao silently lowered her face, while Chun Yu had a questioning look in his eyes when he saw me, as if asking if I was the one who betrayed them.

  I'm so hurt, it turns out that Jun Yu never trusted me. It's also true, why should he trust me? I am the Protector of the Country. I withdraw my gaze, searching my mind, but can't think of a way to save them.

  "The lady who protects the country is an old man's untaught daughter."

  "Uh..." I was about to speak, but my hand had only risen halfway when it was grasped by someone. It was Jia Mingkai. He gripped my hand painfully, his expression as if he had just caught his concubine cheating on him: "Qingya, your uncle knows you're heartbroken, don't say anything else, I'll take care of this for you!"

  "What? No..."

  "Don't worry, Qingya! Although the uncle is only a minister, this matter involves the imperial family's face! Prince Leng, what do you think should be done about this?"

  I see it now, Jia Mingkai doesn't plan on letting me speak.

  The Duke of Leng seemed to be at a loss for words, his own daughter caught red-handed with the Shangshu of the Empress Dowager's palace, and he didn't even mention the severity of the incident. Just this old face of his had already lost all dignity. Suddenly, he let out a sorrowful sigh: "Alas! Let the Emperor decide!" He raised his sleeves high and turned around, no longer looking at anyone.

  "Prince Leng!" I exclaimed, "This matter cannot be left to the Emperor, let us handle it privately..."?

  "Enough!" Jia Mingkai interrupted me again, "Your uncle knows that you must be thinking of killing that cheap person now, but! He was given to you by the emperor in the first place, so naturally it should be up to the emperor to decide. Come on, send Duke Leng back to his mansion first."

  At that moment, everyone supported the Duke of Leng away. I was furious. Jia Mingkai did it on purpose. He clearly knew that my private word was settled. But he didn't let me talk to the Duke of Leng, obviously afraid that I would affect the Duke's decision!

  Glancing around, there were other officials present. Jia Mingkai was clearly determined to make this matter a reality and not let me change it. What a Jia Mingkai! He really wants me to be in a good position!
