After walking through the complicated corridor, Lord Bai rubbed his hands and glanced at the plaque of the main courtyard - Tingxin Courtyard.

The maid at the door saw Lord Bai coming.

He quickly knelt down and asked, "Master, why...why are you here?"

"Why? I can't come?"

"No, it's late at night, I'm afraid the lady has already gone to bed."

Lord Bai suddenly realized and said with a smile: "It's okay. The imperial city will be closed for the next few days. You will be busy later. Go and rest. You won't be on guard tonight."

Then, he glanced at the maid's face and reminded her:

"The plague is serious these days, remember to wear a face mask."

"...Yes, Master." The maid was terrified, then raised her head and glanced inside the house, "Master, I will take you in."

Lord Bai thought about it and said, "Okay."

The maid stood up hurriedly, walked towards the courtyard, and then shouted at the top of her voice:

"Madam, are you asleep?"

"The master is here."

"lady……"

After hearing what the maid said, Mr. Bai was displeased and asked, "Why are you yelling in the middle of the night?"

"If you disturb my wife, I will not forgive you!"

The maid's panicked look was seen by the housekeeper, who hurriedly said, "Master, how about we come back another day?"

"Another day? We don't even know when this plague will end. What are you two doing?"

Lord Bai looked inside the house, frowning in displeasure.

The housekeeper knew that although he didn't know what happened inside, when he thought of the maid's nervous look, he could only pray that it was just a trivial matter for the lady.

"Master, that's what you said. I'll follow you in."

"If the lady knew you were coming, she would be very happy."

After hearing what he said, Lord Bai looked more cheerful and said, "Open the door."

"Yes, yes, sir."

The maid was very nervous and pushed open the door with trembling hands.

The room was pitch black. The maid breathed a sigh of relief and followed Lord Bai inside.

"Ma'am, are you asleep?"

Lord Bai walked towards the inner room, shouting as he walked.

When Mrs. Bai Jiang, who was in the room, heard this, she was immediately frightened.

When Lord Bai saw that no one responded, he waved his hand and asked the maid and the housekeeper to leave.

Then one of them tiptoed into the house, afraid of disturbing Mrs. Bai who was sleeping.

When Jiang heard the footsteps, she was frightened silly.

She squatted on the ground picking up clothes, panicking and not knowing what to do.

Then he urged, "No, hide quickly, quickly!"

"Okay, okay, I'll hide now. Madam, don't worry."

The other party looked around anxiously, and finally his eyes fixed on the bottom of the bed.

Just as he was about to lie down and crawl in.

Lord Bai just walked in.

When he saw Jiang and the man naked in the house, he collapsed to the extreme.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

"What are you doing?"

Jiang's heart seemed to be hit hard, as if it had stopped.

next second.

Jiang fell to his knees with a thud:

"Master, please listen to my explanation."

"It was him! He seduced me!"

Jiang stretched out her hand nervously, pointing at the man with her bellyband still hanging around his neck, "I was sleeping in the room, and I never thought he would take the opportunity to humiliate me."

Lord Bai is a man, how could he not know such things?

I thought of the maid's nervous expression and the loud reminder she shouted when I just entered the room.

Look again at the man who was just about to hide under the bed.

He was so angry that he threw the things on the table to the ground!

With a clang, the porcelain made a harsh sound.

"Whore! How dare you cheat on me? Someone, take these two to the front hall!"

"Ahhh-"

Lord Bai roared angrily.

There was an intimidating chill in his eyes, and his temples were throbbing with anger, as if a fire was burning in his chest, threatening to take half his life.

He threw his sleeves and left angrily.

In the dead of night at the Bai residence, the front hall was brightly lit, and a figure in the dark saw the roar and flew away silently.

Lord Bai sat in the main seat, his face dark, looking at the man and woman kneeling on the ground with grief and anger.

The only aunt and several children in the mansion were all gathered together.

"Dad, is there any misunderstanding? How could my mother do such a stupid thing?"

A woman about fifteen or sixteen years old, with red eyes, sat in her seat. She looked sadly at the woman kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down her face.

"Mom, please say something."

Lord Bai slammed the table angrily, "Misunderstanding?"

"What misunderstanding?"

"Did I misunderstand that your mother was secretly having an affair with someone, or did I disturb their fun?"

Jiang was filled with regret. She crawled to Bai Da Ren's side, pulled his trouser legs, and cried for mercy: "Master, please forgive me. I will never dare to do it again."

"He seduced me. I didn't do anything from beginning to end."

It would be strange if Lord Bai believed this conversation.

He had been an official for many years and was also the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, handling no less than a hundred cases.

Which of those men who were cuckolded was not almost insane?

He was also thankful that he had found a good match, his first wife was gentle and considerate, and his concubines were dutiful.

"Don't call me!"

"You bitch, I treated you wholeheartedly, but you cheated on me!"

His eyes were bloodshot and his face was almost distorted. If it weren't for his good self-control, he would have chopped the two men to death with a single blow.

He looked at the man beside Jiang, who was the cook in his house.

A few years ago, Jiang said he wanted to taste the flavors of his hometown, so he specially asked someone to bring a clever chef from his hometown.

I didn't expect these two people to get together.

The man had a handkerchief stuffed in his mouth. He was kneeling down, shaking his head, and looking for an opportunity to explain himself.

"If I hadn't caught you today, I'm afraid you would have given birth to a child for me, and then let me raise it for you, right?"

Jiang was frightened and explained hurriedly.

"No, no, absolutely not, we...we..."

Having said this, Jiang Shi wanted to know that she had already admitted it. She sat limply on the ground, looking like she was about to face a disaster.

Bai Zixuan was sitting aside, having already guessed that this was true, and she cried and wiped away her tears.

"Mom, why are you doing this? Daddy is so good to you, have you ever thought there would be a day like this?"

Bai Zixuan cried and threw herself into Jiang's arms, not caring about what was happening to her mother at the moment.

"Mother, what should my daughter do? What should my daughter do?"

"Wow... Daddy is so nice, why do you..."

Jiang looked at her daughter in front of her and felt extremely regretful. It was all her fault that she had been bewitched for a moment.

This person was her neighbor when she was young. She looked down on her then, and she still looks down on her now.

But she was also lonely, and the master was busy and couldn't take care of her at all.

"Zixuan, it's my fault. I'm sorry."

After saying that, she knelt down and begged for mercy, crying.

"Master, I know that I have committed a grave sin, but I beg you to treat our daughter kindly, considering that I have been with you for many years."

"Auntie Sun, I know you have a gentle personality and have never dreamed of becoming a lady. Compared to you, I am indeed not as good as you."

"I beg you, be kind to Zixuan."

As she spoke, Jiang also kowtowed heavily to Aunt Sun.
