As soon as he came over, several people guarding Yuehu Garden immediately stood guard outside and drove away any passers-by.

Tu began to feel scared when she saw those people who appeared out of nowhere.

But she had been through a lot and knew that this was definitely not the time to talk about family disgrace.

She smiled and said, "Third brother, weren't you going to court? Why are you back at this time?"

Gu Shaoyu did not answer her nonsense. He strode to Xie Zhaozhao and asked gently in front of everyone without holding her hand, "Have you settled the matter?"

"Well, it's almost there."

"Tired?"

"a bit tired."

"Where's the car?"

"next door."

He asked Yuanyuanman to help Xie Zhaozhao over to rest. Xie Zhaozhao shook his head: "They are attacking me!"

Gu Shaoyu turned around, looked at the bloody Zhang Qing on the ground, and asked Tu: "What are you doing? How can you beat someone in this garden?"

Tu said to the few servants who were not injured, "Carry Zhang Qing back."

Several managers were beaten by Yin Jinan and Li Yunmu. When Gu Shaoyu came, they were crying bitterly.

"What happened to these people? Who beat them?"

Mrs. Tu didn’t know what to say for a moment – ​​“Your wife was caught fooling around with someone, and the adulterer beat her”?

Based on her half-life experience, she felt that this should never be said and the consequences would be absolutely unbearable.

Xie Xiangxiang couldn't help herself any longer and said to Gu Shaoyu seriously: "Third Uncle..."

"Call me Lord Gu!"

"..."

"What? Tell someone to come back and tell me if there's anything. Madam is tired and needs to go back to rest."

Xie Xiangxiang hardened her heart and said, "Today, my elder sister came to this garden with Second Young Master Yin and Second Young Master Li. I don't know what they did behind closed doors. Many servants in the mansion saw it."

"What did you see?"

"I saw her having a secret meeting with them here..."

"Madam, be careful with your words. If you dare to speak nonsense, I don't care who you are, I will send you to the authorities."

"I would never dare to say anything nonsense. You can ask these people, they all saw it." Xie Xiangxiang pointed at a group of servants in the Marquis' Mansion.

Those who were beaten cried out in pain: "Lord, I was beaten by Yin Er."

"The slave was beaten by Li Er"

"I was beaten by Yin Er's servant"

Xia Hua knelt down and said, "Master, I followed the carriage all the way and saw with my own eyes that the Third Madam's carriage entered the garden."

With so many people testifying, Xie Xiangxiang immediately gained confidence: "They found out that the Third Madam was having a secret meeting with Yin Er and Li Er here. For the sake of the elder's reputation, they rushed in to arrest them, and were beaten like this by Yin Er and Li Er."

She started crying as she spoke, not knowing whether she was afraid or excited. She pointed at Xie Zhaozhao and said, "She watched helplessly as the people in the mansion were beaten. She wanted to beat all of us to death to silence us..."

Seeing her crying bitterly, Xie Zhaozhao felt disgusted and asked, "Madam of the Crown Prince, Madam of the Marquis, how can you be sure that I am having a secret meeting with someone here?"

Tu, who was named, looked reluctant. Didn't we agree that you two sisters would fight? I'm just someone waiting to take advantage of the situation. It's none of my business!

Xie Xiangxiang: "If it's not a private meeting, why are you here? Few people come here. If you choose this place, you are sure no one will find out, right?"

Xie Zhaozhao looked at her coldly: "Xie Xiangxiang, I'll give you one last chance. Were you instigated by others to come here, or did you frame me yourself?"

"You don't have to instigate me. Who could have instigated me? I saw you in your carriage coming for a secret meeting, so I sent someone to arrest you."

"Okay, you said it, I saw it with my own eyes!" Xie Zhaozhao stopped talking nonsense and said to Yuanyuan, "Go, call my second aunt and my second brother."

Xie Xiangxiang was a little confused. What second aunt? Second brother?

Lu? Gu Chengsi?

Are they in collusion?

Nanxing brought two chairs, one for Gu Shaoyu and one for Xie Zhaozhao.

The two of them sat in the shade, and a screen wall next to the gate blocked the view of passers-by outside.

Soon Yuanyuan invited Mrs. Xie and Xie Jue who were waiting on the island in the middle of the lake.

The island in the middle of the lake was quite a distance from the main gate. On the way here, Madam Xie and Xie Jue came, Yuanyuan told Madam Xie what had happened.

Mrs. Xie's entire world view was turned upside down and she was stunned.

"Miss Er, Miss Er is bringing people to catch, to catch the adulterer?" Madam Xie said incredulously, "This is her own sister, the wife of the Grand Chamberlain, a lady of the first rank! How can she have the nerve to slander her own sister like this?"

"It's not just this time, Second Madam, you don't know how many immoral things she has done, but the eldest lady said that she can't write two thank yous with one stroke. It's the Xie family that loses face, and it's the master and the old lady who are heartbroken." Yuanyuan said angrily, "But she also invited Lord Gu here today, and he wanted to beat the eldest lady to death with a stick!"

When Mrs. Xie heard that Xie Xiangxiang had invited Gu Shaoyu, she was furious.

Even if sisters have some unspeakable secrets, they still cover up for each other. But she led so many servants to catch the adulterer! She also notified the elders and surrounded her own sister in broad daylight. Did she want to kill her own sister in one fell swoop?

Madam Xie and Xie Jue walked to the gate and bowed to Gu Shaoyu first: "How are you, Lord?"

Gu Shaoyu nodded and politely replied: "Second Aunt, how are you."

"Aren't you in the court? Why are you back at this time?"

"It was the Crown Prince's wife who sent someone to call me back." As soon as Gu Shaoyu said this, Tu wanted to kill Xie Xiangxiang.

It's really like you're not able to accomplish anything but are more likely to cause trouble. How can you call Gu Shaoyu before everything is finalized?

Even if it was for his own reputation, he would definitely turn from passive to active.

Xie Zhaozhao alone is difficult enough to deal with, and with the addition of Gu Shaoyu, she and Xie Xiangxiang are doomed.

Without waiting for Gu Shaoyu to ask, Second Madam Xie asked Xie Xiangxiang: "I heard that the wife of the prince brought so many people..."

She really couldn't say the words "caught an adulterer". She was so angry that her hands were shaking, but she still insisted on being polite and dignified.

Xie Xiangxiang was completely confused. How could it be her second aunt from her natal family?

"Second Aunt, why are you here?"

"I'm here because the eldest lady contacted the second young master Yin and the second young master Li to arrange an errand for Jue'er. The two young masters helped a lot and actually arranged for her to be assigned to the Palace Front Department."

Madam Xie said politely, "I was just about to go back and report to the old lady. I want to thank the old lady, Master Yin and Master Li very much. Everyone from our Xie family, whether they are legitimate or illegitimate, even if they are servants, are upright and have a clear conscience. We must not be ungrateful and do not distinguish between the superior and the inferior!"

Xie Xiangxiang was suddenly speechless. She had thought everything through, but she had never expected that Xie Zhaozhao had asked Yin Jinan and Li Yunmu to arrange a task for Xie Jue.

Madam Xie bowed to Gu Shaoyu and said, "Lord, I'm your second aunt. Please go back to the court first. The affairs of the court are more important. If you trust me, I will definitely send your wife back to the Marquis' Mansion in one piece. Can you rest assured?"

Xie Zhaozhao also said: "Don't worry, Lord. I am a woman of the first rank, and the power I should exercise cannot be used as a mere decoration."

This is a women's battlefield. Please stay away, my Lord.
