HCB Chapter 324 Disgraced
Chapter 324 Disgraced
"There is nothing I dare not do. By then, your family will be notorious throughout the capital. Let's see how you can still be so arrogant." Qiao Yueru said proudly.
At this time, Cheng Kun also came over, his face as black as charcoal, and glanced at Qiao Yueru coldly, followed by Si Chengxu and Gu Feiyan.
Qiao Yueru was frightened by his unfriendly look and took a step back, not daring to say another word. Even so, she did not regret what she had just done, and the madness in her eyes was ignited again.
At this time, the woman on the bed heard the sound and woke up slowly.
"Ah, what's going on." The woman's voice was a little hoarse, and she gently stroked her head with her hand. She seemed to realize that someone was looking at her, and turned her head subconsciously.
She saw several people standing not far from her, both men and women, all of whom she knew, including Li Xiaoxiao. She wondered what they were doing.
When she saw them, she seemed to realize that she was actually lying on the bed. She could also clearly feel that she was not wearing any clothes under the quilt. What made her most unbelievable was that there seemed to be someone lying next to her.
She turned her head tremblingly and looked into the bed, only to see a strange man sharing a pillow with her. In an instant, she let out a terrified scream, rushed out of the room and reached the sky.
The ladies standing outside the door were all frightened. They wanted to see what was happening inside, but they didn't dare to go in.
After a scream, the woman fainted again.
When the woman's face turned to the outside just now, Qiao Yueru saw the woman's face clearly and her jaw almost dropped in shock. The woman on the bed was not Li Ruolan, but Wang Qiuhuo.
How could it be her? Shouldn't it be Li Ruolan? Why is Wang Qiuhuo here? None of these matters. The key is that she was the one who brought these people here.
With Wang Qiuhuo's petty personality, she would definitely blame the whole thing on her later. She didn't even dare to think about the consequences.
"It's you. You deliberately framed me." Suddenly Qiao Yueru went crazy and yelled at Li Xiaoxiao.
"You just said that I framed you in the garden, and now you're saying that I framed you again. Can't you come up with a new trick? I told you not to come in, and even though I was blocking the door, you still insisted on breaking in. Everyone is watching us." Li Xiaoxiao curled her lips, looking at someone as if he was a fool.
"You deliberately provoked me with words, so I came in. If I had known it was you... I wouldn't have been fooled by you." Qiao Yueru continued to pester.
"Okay, stop arguing." Cheng Kun suddenly shouted. He obviously didn't expect that the person on the bed would be Wang Qiuhe.
This matter is all Qiao Ruyue's fault. At that time, Li Xiaoxiao told people not to come in, but Qiao Ruyue insisted on coming in. Now that she has caused trouble, she actually blames others.
"What's wrong? What happened?" At this time, a soft female voice was heard outside the yard.
The ladies who were originally looking towards the house looked back when they heard the sound, and immediately had an expression as if they had seen a ghost. Why was Li Ruolan here, and who was the woman in the room?
As if she saw their confusion, Li Ruolan smiled and took the initiative to speak: "I ate too much just now, so I went out for a walk to digest the food. I didn't expect the Prime Minister's Mansion to be so big, and I got lost without paying attention. It took me a long time to find my way back."
What Li Ruolan said was reasonable. The Prime Minister's Mansion was indeed big, and it was normal for a stranger to get lost here. The woman's scream in the room just now was abnormal, very abnormal.
Ignoring them, Li Ruolan walked through the crowd and quickly came into the house. Hearing footsteps, several people in the house looked towards the door and were immediately shocked.
Especially Qiao Yueru, the moment she saw her, she was shocked and regretful, blaming herself for being too impulsive.
Chen Kun showed a relieved expression, as long as the person was found, but then he thought of the two people on the bed, and his brows instantly frowned so much that they could pinch a fly to death.
Wang Qiuhuo is Si Wei Zhong's legal wife, but such a thing happened in his house. How should she explain to him? Given Wang Qiuhuo's identity, Cheng Kun didn't think she would do such a thing.
But now the facts are before us, and there is something fishy about this matter. He can't help but look at Li Xiaoxiao and Li Ruolan. Could it be related to them?
"Go wake up the man on the bed." Cheng Kun turned his gaze to the man on the bed and ordered in a cold voice.
Two servants immediately came forward, pulled the man off the bed, put clothes on him in a hurry, and then fetched a basin of water from outside and poured it on his face.
The cold water stimulated the man to wake up all of a sudden. He opened his eyes and saw a group of people in the room and a woman under the quilt on the bed in a daze. He was so scared that his face turned pale.
"Master, please spare my life. I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again." The man on the ground was a gardener in the Prime Minister's Mansion. He was usually in charge of the management of the East Garden.
"Tell me clearly what's going on?" Chen Kun shouted harshly.
"Yes, I was bewildered by the devil and did such a foolish thing. Today I went out to buy something and someone found me and asked me to do something for him. He promised to give me one hundred taels of silver after the task was completed." At this point, the gardener dared not not tell the truth.
"Keep talking." Cheng Kun tried his best to suppress the anger that was about to burst out, and his voice was squeezed out from between his teeth.
"That person said that they had taken possession of a senior maid, and because she displeased her master, they wanted to punish her and bring her into disgrace. They also told me what clothes the young lady was wearing today, and asked me to find an opportunity to kidnap her and bring her here." The gardener trembled as he told the whole story in detail.
"So it was you who kidnapped this lady." Cheng Kun now wished he could kill the gardener with a knife to relieve his hatred.
"I know I was wrong. I thought she was just a maid and no one would care about her. But I didn't expect it." The gardener really didn't expect it.
She originally thought that even if the maid's reputation was ruined, she would not dare to tell the matter to anyone, and she could still get a hundred taels of silver for nothing.
But imagination is full and reality is skinny. The young master actually came to his room in person. It seemed that this maid was not an ordinary person. Because he was too nervous, he ignored the word "Madam" from Cheng Kun's mouth.
"What a stupid thing! Come here, give him fifty lashes of the board and then lock him up in the woodshed to await his fate." Cheng Kun let out a long breath in anger. He wanted to kill him at this moment, but there were still many doubts and he couldn't let him die.
“Master, please spare my life. I was just confused for a moment. Please forgive me this time.” The gardener was so scared that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Cheng Kun.
Only later did he realize that he seemed to have gotten into a big disaster.
"Take him away." Cheng Kun really didn't want to look at him again, for fear that he would lose control and kill him.
