329 Reversal

“What happened?” Marquis Beining had drunk a little too much at noon, so he didn’t know how to answer Lu Ze’s question. He turned to look at his eldest son with a confused expression.

Song Minghe felt frustrated.

Of course, he knew what had happened here. After all, some arrangements had even been made by him.

But he couldn’t say that!

Not only couldn’t he say it, but he also had to think of a way to hide this matter. Otherwise, judging from General Wei Bei’s attitude, he would probably skin him alive.

“Young Master, why don’t you bring Marquis Beining to the side to sober up first?” Lu Ze didn’t say anything, but Su Qi, who was standing beside him, looked at Song Minghe very politely and suggested with a smile.

Song Minghe was slightly stunned. Although he felt that it was a little embarrassing to listen to the instructions of a follower, from the looks of it, it was indeed safer for him to retreat in advance.

Therefore, he ignored Marquis Beining’s resistance and dragged him out first. He handed everything over to Song Minghui, who had rushed over later.

“Madam, don’t go over. There’s trouble over there.”

As soon as they sent Marquis Beining off, Old Madam Beining, who had received a sumptuous meal, was already walking towards the courtyard with her walking stick and she was surrounded by a group of women.

Madam Beining was extremely anxious. Her intuition told her that something bad was going on, but when the old lady in front of her found out that the person who might be doing something despicable might be General Wei Bei’s wife, she couldn’t help but come over personally. All her dissuasions along the way were useless.

Even someone like her, who had always been dim-witted, felt that there was something fishy going on, but the old lady refused to listen.

“What do you mean? She’s committing adultery here. She’s already so shameless, so why should we care about her pride?” Although the old lady wasn’t young anymore, she still had a sonorous voice and almost everyone in the courtyard heard her clearly.

At this moment, she was in a good mood. How could she care about the occasion? She only wanted to vent her anger and get revenge.

To her, today could be considered one of the happiest days of her life.

First, the fourth prince came to personally congratulate her. Then, there was this lively and novel birthday banquet. In addition, the little b*tch, who had made her unhappy just now, had suffered such retribution!

God was helping her. What else did she have to be afraid of?

“Hmph, I knew it. So what if a little girl becomes General Wei Bei’s wife? She still can’t change her despicable nature. In public…”

Just as the old lady was speaking, the anxious Madam Beining suddenly raised her hand to cover the old lady’s mouth. The old lady was enraged and just as she was struggling to scold her, she saw that the usually timid Madam Beining seemed to have become a different person at this moment. She gritted her teeth and reminded her, “Mother, if you don’t want our entire family to suffer, don’t say anything!”

“Why are you so afraid? I’m not a ferocious beast. If she wants to say anything, just say it. Why do you have to cover the birthday girl’s mouth?”

When Lu Ze turned around and met the old lady’s angry gaze with a smile, the coldness in his eyes made the old lady instantly fall silent.

She shivered and subconsciously took two steps back. She looked for Marquis Beining, but realized that only the cold-faced Song Minghui was standing beside Lu Ze.

When the old lady saw Song Minghui’s attitude towards Lu Ze, she couldn’t help but flare up. “Minghui, as the heir of the Marquis’s Estate, are you just going to watch outsiders behave atrociously in our residence?”

“Old Madam, you should save your strength first. It won’t be too late to flare up later.” Lu Ze put down the teacup in his hand and slowly stood up from his seat. Then, he turned to look at Old Madam and said with a smile, “After all, like you said, there has to be an explanation for cheating in public.”

“It’s so lively here.” Just as Lu Ze finished speaking, Lin Suisui and Zhou Ningqian came from the path at the side and walked to Lu Ze’s side under everyone’s shocked gazes. She stopped in her tracks before turning to look at the old lady, whose expression had changed drastically. “Old Madam, why did I hear you badmouthing me just now? Did I mishear?”

“Why are you here?” The old lady was completely dumbfounded. She didn’t expect Lin Suisui, who had just been scolded by her, to appear in front of her unscathed.

If she was fine, who was in that room?!

A chill ran down her spine and her smugness instantly disappeared.

“Why can’t I be here?” Lin Suisui tilted her head and looked at the old lady in confusion. “After lunch, I went to Mrs. Song’s courtyard to talk to her about the past. I only heard that something had happened here just now.

I rushed over because I heard that it was related to me.

Are you so unhappy to see me safe and sound?”

“Madam, you’ve misunderstood. She is also worried about you. Since you’re safe now, that’s naturally the best.” Madam Beining tried her best to ease the atmosphere.

However, Marquis Beining’s wife couldn’t restrain the old lady, who raised her eyebrows and glared at Lin Suisui. “Who can prove that you were with Minghui’s wife?

Besides, this is karma. If you really hadn’t done anything wrong, who would spread rumors about you at this time?”

“Madam, that’s quite harsh.” As Lin Suisui looked at the furious Madam, she finally understood why Zhou Ningqian was so troubled when she mentioned her just now.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She was indeed an ignorant and selfish old lady.
