Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Chapter 421 Confrontation, Threat

To be on the safe side, Xu Huaiyi waited for a while. After making sure that there was no one outside, he put on his clothes and went out. He was afraid that someone might be waiting outside. That would be bad, after all, he could only appear where he was.

There was no one in the room, but the closet and under the bed had obviously been turned over. He didn't bother to check carefully and jumped out of the window directly. After wiping out all the traces, he quickly left the scene.

Thanks to the fact that he had observed the retreat route when he came, and the RV where he could hide at any time, and the fact that this place was remote, he dodged all the way without being discovered by anyone. He reached the toilet smoothly, stayed there for a few minutes, washed his hands and face, then came out leisurely and returned to the banquet.

The banquet was coming to an end. There was lively singing on the stage, and from time to time someone would shout a few words to cheer. It seemed that the guests were in high spirits and did not seem to know what had happened in Li Yunting's yard.

Xu Huaiyi looked around calmly, found Su Zhe, and calmly found a seat next to him and sat down.

When Su Zhe saw him, he immediately moved closer and asked with concern, "Why did you take so long? Where's Yun Ting?"

Xu Huaiyi whispered, "Something happened with his mother, and she was called away..."

Su Zhe was acutely aware of something and looked at him nervously, "You went to his yard by yourself? Did you encounter any problems?"

Xu Huaiyi said depressedly, "I did meet him, but luckily it was safe. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to see me now."

Su Zhe immediately asked anxiously, "What happened? Was there a problem with changing clothes, or..."

"Don't touch it!" Xu Huaiyi saw him reaching out his hand and quickly leaned back, "There's something wrong with this dress."

"What?" Su Zhe stared at him in astonishment. "Then why are you still wearing it? Do you want to die?"

Xu Huaiyi explained in a low voice, "I took the detoxification pill and I'm fine now. This piece of clothing is evidence that someone was plotting against me. I might need it later, so I can't throw it away."

Su Zhe was speechless for a moment.

Xu Huaiyi asked, "Is there nothing going on here?"

Su Zhe shook his head, "Everything is normal."

Xu Huaiyi raised his eyebrows, "No guests left?"

Su Zhe thought for a moment and said, "No, it's Yun Ting's half-brothers who left for a while. What happened?"

Xu Huaiyi couldn't say that Miss Zuo went to Yunting's yard and someone broke in to catch them cheating. He had to pretend not to be there when these things happened, so he could only say vaguely, "After I changed my clothes in the house, I realized something was wrong, so I quickly took the detoxification pill, jumped out the window and ran away, avoiding people all the way, and recovered from the shock in the toilet before coming to find you. I figured that since the other party drugged me, there must be follow-up arrangements. They wouldn't just watch me make a fool of myself, right? They would probably put someone in there and wait for me to do something shameful out of control, and then they would break in and catch me, so as to ruin my reputation..."

This is a very common routine, and Su Zhe is not unfamiliar with it. However, after hearing it, he still felt fear and anger. "Who wants to harm you? Their intentions are extremely sinister. If you really did such a thing in Yunting's courtyard, it would not be called romantic. Moreover, Yunting may not be able to clear himself. What if the person who was stuffed was a maid in Yunting's courtyard? I don't know how disgusting it would be spread. The other party is trying to kill two birds with one stone."

Xu Huaiyi thought, this is more serious than just a maid, as the person being stuffed is Yun Ting’s fiancée. If this succeeds, this scandal will probably explode.

Su Zhe was puzzled. "You realized you were poisoned, why didn't you call for help? Even if Yun Ting was in a hurry to see his mother, he wouldn't let you enter his yard alone. Where is the servant beside him?"

Xu Huaiyi smiled bitterly and said, "It was the servant he arranged to bring me the clothes. Tell me, do I dare to call for help?"

Su Zhe was surprised, "Did that servant do this?"

Xu Huaiyi sighed, "I don't know either, but at that time I really didn't dare to trust anyone, let alone stay. If a woman really went in, I really couldn't explain my situation, so it was better to leave."

Su Zhe said with lingering fear, "You did the right thing. Catch the thief and the adulterer. As long as you are not here, no one can throw dirty water on you. Fortunately, you brought the antidote pills with you, otherwise today would be in danger. Yunting, his mother's side should not be an accident, right? Is it also part of the calculation?"

"That's probably it..."

"So, it's probably his half brothers."

The two were talking in low voices when the housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion came. There was no expression on his face and his attitude was polite. "Mr. Xu, my Marquis wants to see you. Please come with me."

Xu Huaiyi blinked, pretending to be confused, "Your Lord wants to see me? What's the matter?"

The housekeeper looked at him with a probing and meaningful look in his eyes, but he said, "I don't know either. Master Xu will understand when he goes there."

"Just me?"

"Several young masters from the mansion are also here."

"You four young masters are here too?"

"Yes……"

Xu Huaiyi had an idea in his mind, so he stood up happily and left with him.

Su Zhe called out, "Huaiyi, do you want me to tell your family for you?"

If the Marquis' Mansion uses its power to oppress others, the Su family will not be able to withstand it. He can only help to call for help. No matter whether it is the Sun family or Mr. Jiang, they will not sit idly by.

Xu Huaiyi waved his hand carelessly, "No, I'll be back soon."

Seeing him walking away in such a casual and relaxed manner, as if he didn't care about anything, Su Zhe couldn't help but smile with envy, and then he also felt relaxed.

On the way, Xu Huaiyi did not ask any more questions. He just casually scanned the scenery in the mansion with a leisurely and relaxed attitude. When he walked to the flower hall in the front yard where guests were received, he put away his casual expression and looked serious.

The butler was stunned for a moment when he saw this. After he entered the room to report, he respectfully invited the person in.

In the reception room, Marquis Dingyuan sat in the main seat with a serious expression, imposing without being angry.

Several young masters of the Marquis' Mansion stood in a row with pale faces, looking terrified. Li Yunting stood alone on one side, with a stern face and cold and sinister eyes.

When he saw Xu Huaiyi coming in, he looked at him nervously. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, his heart finally relaxed a little.

However, he still took two steps forward and asked with concern, "Huaiyi, are you okay?"

After this question was asked, everyone looked up at Xu Huaiyi.

Xu Huaiyi said casually, "It's nothing serious right now, but there was something going on before..."

His straightforward and frank way of speaking instantly confused everyone else.

Even if you want to file a complaint, you have to lay the groundwork first, right?

How can one speak one's mind straight away?

Does this person really not understand or is he just being fearless?

Marquis Dingyuan stared at Xu Huaiyi with scrutiny. He was thinking more and more complicated things. He was weighing the pros and cons quickly in his mind, considering how to deal with it.

After Xu Huaiyi responded to Li Yunting, he stepped forward to greet him. Both in public and in private, he had to be respectful and polite.

Marquis Dingyuan did not put on airs. He exchanged a few pleasantries and then got down to business. "Mr. Xu just said that something happened before. I wonder what it was?"

Xu Huaiyi immediately recounted what had happened before without hesitation, and finally said with a look of relief, "Fortunately, I brought the antidote pills with me, otherwise I don't know what kind of tricks I would have been drawn into. I didn't expect that having a banquet would be so dangerous. I was very careful, but I still fell into the trap. The person behind this is also very powerful, and his hands have even reached into the Yunting courtyard..."

After hearing this, Marquis Dingyuan's face turned a little ugly. This was simply Yin and Yang. There were no rules in their mansion and the inner house was in chaos, otherwise how could such a mistake happen?

Others were shocked. They didn't expect Xu Huaiyi to be so bold. He dared to say anything and didn't even give their mansion any face. Where did he get the courage?

Li Yunting was also a bold man, and he was even more ruthless in his words. "It's my fault that I have implicated you this time. I thought it would be safe if I took you to my yard, but who would have thought that I was the one who dragged you down and was too self-righteous. I almost hurt you. If anything happens to you, I will be blamed even if I die..."

Xu Huaiyi waved his hands, "How can I blame you? You didn't do it on purpose. You are also a victim. Don't say that I escaped unharmed. I was just unlucky. If I have to hate someone, I should hate the person behind the scenes. His intentions are so vicious. Why did he have to use that disgusting thing that can't be put on the table when he could have given me any other medicine? Who are they trying to annoy?"

Li Yunting sneered, "Of course it's to annoy me. Do you know who entered the room after you left?"

Xu Huaiyi cooperated and pretended to be curious and asked, "Who is it? It can't be the little maid serving in your yard, right?"

Li Yunting stared at the bastards in the mansion with a sinister look, gritting his teeth and saying, "The person behind this is even more ruthless than you think. How can a maid be enough to annoy me? It's the second young lady of the Zuo family, my fiancée!"

"What?" Xu Huaiyi was shocked, with an expression of complete disbelief, and even a hint of fear, "Oh my God, this, this is not just to annoy you, this is going to completely destroy me, and also destroy our friendship, and force us to become enemies..."

Li Yunting was a little scared at this moment, and even began to regret that he should not have dragged it out before. He thought that the arrangements were thorough, so he dared to drag his friend into a trap. As a result, he almost hurt his friend. This lesson was bloody enough for him to remember for the rest of his life. "I'm sorry, Huaiyi, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter!"

Dingyuan Hou suddenly said, "Yun Ting, the matter has not been thoroughly investigated yet, so you can't make promises casually."

Then someone else added disdainfully, "Do you have the right to speak here? Your father is here, what can you explain?"

Li Yunting's eyes were like sharp swords, shooting towards him, "Li Yunfan, why are you feeling guilty?"

Li Yunfan's eyes flashed, and then he became angry and pointed at him and said sternly, "Why should I feel guilty? This matter has nothing to do with me. I just brought my brothers into your yard and ran into your fiancée. If there is any fault, it is your fault. If you didn't take Xu Huaiyi to your room to change clothes and didn't ask your fiancée to meet, why would there be so many problems?"

"Oh, you still have the nerve to turn the tables?" Li Yunting said sarcastically, "Do you think everyone else is a fool? Why did you bring people to my yard for no reason? Aren't you just trying to catch someone cheating?"

"I didn't!" Li Yunfan refused to admit it at this time, and shouted, "Stop slandering me! I just heard from the servants that Aunt Zhao vomited blood, so I went to ask about it. Who knew you were not in the room, and I happened to run into your fiancée!"

Li Yunting mocked, "Who in the whole mansion doesn't know what our relationship is? Do you care about my mother? Don't use this excuse to coax a child to fool you. You are deceiving yourself and others!"

Li Yunfan said angrily, "That's just your one-sided feeling that we brothers are not on good terms, but in my eyes, you are my fourth brother. We may have some quarrels, but if something really happens, how could I, as your elder brother, not care about you?"

Li Yunting looked disdainful, "You dare not take responsibility for what you did? You are a hypocrite, a coward, and a loser!"

"You..." Li Yunfan wanted to jump up and hit him in hatred, but he didn't dare to. His hands and feet were shaking with anger.

Dingyuan Hou said in a deep voice, "Yun Ting, you are going too far. That is your second brother."

Li Yunting said coldly, "If we find out that he was the one who did it, I can go even further!"

Li Yunfan took the opportunity to instigate, "Father, listen to me, my fourth brother is too presumptuous. He doesn't even take you seriously..."

Dingyuan Hou glanced at him coldly and warned, "Shut up! If this matter really has something to do with you, I will not let you go!"

Li Yunfan swore, "It really wasn't me, father. How could a son do such a thing?"

At this time, Xu Huaiyi took over the conversation and said in an exaggerated tone, "Yes, Marquis, I also think it should not be the Second Young Master's doing. After all, the Second Young Master is a smart man and should never do such a stupid thing that would destroy himself. Unless he has a deep hatred for the mansion, how could he set up such a vicious trap? Just thinking about it makes me shudder. If he succeeds, it will be a small matter for me to break off relations with Yun Ting. Yun Ting will become a joke, and the reputation of the Marquisate will be ruined. Of course, I will be the worst off. I will have no future at all. Ruining someone's future is like killing their parents. How can I not hate such a great hatred?"

He paused, and looked at Marquis Dingyuan frankly, "I definitely hate the person who set up this scheme, and I will naturally vent my anger on the Marquis' Mansion. When people are controlled by hatred, they are likely to do anything. Even if I don't have much ability and can't stir up any trouble, I still have my master and elders above me. They have spent countless efforts on me and have high hopes for me. Once I am destroyed, their efforts will be in vain. Even if they don't stand up for me, they will definitely find the person behind this and vent their anger on me."

Hearing this, Marquis Dingyuan narrowed his eyes in displeasure. Hearing the threat, his aura suddenly poured out.

The few people standing there couldn't help but tremble from being suppressed.

Xu Huaiyi remained calm and even more composed. He continued, "Besides, it's not just me. There's also the Zuo family. Lord Zuo is even harder to fool. Their beloved daughter was schemed against and used as a pawn to murder me and Yun Ting. How can the Zuo family not be angry? They will definitely seek justice for their daughter. By then, the Marquis' Mansion will face siege and revenge from several groups of people. Add to that public opinion and the instigation of those with ulterior motives. Can the Marquis' Mansion still get away with it?"

Hearing this, Marquis Dingyuan's expression finally changed and his look became serious.

Xu Huaiyi added in a resounding voice, "No matter who set up the trap, that person disregarded the reputation and interests of the Marquis' Mansion for his own selfish desires. He did not consider the safety and future of the Marquis' Mansion at all, and only wanted to make himself happy. If such a person were an outsider, it would be fine. But if he were someone from the Marquis' Mansion, he would be a disaster. It's too deceptive. If he is not dealt with quickly, who knows how big a mess he will cause in the future. Just thinking about it makes me unable to sleep!"

Li Yunfan turned pale and was on the verge of collapse after hearing this. This was not giving him a chance to survive!
