Chapter 171 Is Mother Getting Senile and Confused?
Jiang Xiyu was thinking when she suddenly heard some noise outside the house and she immediately became alert.
At this time, at the gate of Jingyuyuan, several maids carried Zheng over, and Lin Rouyu and her maid were standing beside her.
Just as they were about to enter Jingyu Garden, they were stopped by the guards at the door. "Madam, Miss Lin, it's so late, what are you doing..."
"Get out of here." Zheng didn't want to waste time talking to these guards, so she asked the maids to come out and push the people.
Seeing Zheng's aggressive approach, the guards were even more hesitant to let her in. "Old Madam, this is Madam's yard and you cannot trespass. If you want to see Madam, I will go and report to you."
"How dare you." Hearing this, Zheng became even angrier and looked at them with a ferocious expression. "Who the hell is she? I need to report to you if I want to see her. Get out of here."
If Zheng had not been sitting on a bamboo chair and being carried by someone, she would have rushed over and beaten the guards herself.
The maids brought by Zheng were all big and strong, and the guards were afraid of getting into conflict with them. After all, they were Zheng's people, so they held back, which also caused them to be at a disadvantage.
Seeing that these people were about to break into Jingyu Garden, the leader of the Golden Guards in the dark quietly blew the summoning flute.
When Deji heard the summoning flute, he immediately rushed over with his guards.
Originally, Deji thought that the masked man had come again, but when he hurried over, he found that it was Zheng and Lin Rouyu.
"What's going on?" Deji immediately asked the guards guarding the yard.
The guard heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Deji approaching. He bowed and said, "The old lady and Miss Lin came unexpectedly and insisted on intruding into Jingyu Garden without allowing us to report."
When Deji heard this, he knew they were up to no good. "If the old lady wants to see the mistress, there's no need to mobilize so many people."
Zheng glared at him and asked, "Since when has it become your turn as a guard to take care of my affairs?"
Despite Zheng's impoliteness, Deji remained unmoved. He simply bowed to her and said, "Before the Marquis left the capital, he instructed me to protect the Madam and guard Jingyu Garden. As your guard, I naturally must obey your orders."
Deji's mention of Xu Rui at this time really had a deterrent effect on Zheng. Zheng's face changed slightly, and she glared at Deji and scolded him, "Rui'er asked you to watch Jiang, but what were you watching? Did you know that she was cheating on you in the house?"
"What did you say?" Deji looked at Zheng in astonishment, wondering how she could say such vulgar words?
Zheng didn't take his surprise seriously at all and snorted coldly, "Don't think I don't know. Last night, a bastard sneaked into her house. Today I'm here to catch him in an adultery."
"How come I didn't know someone entered my house?" Before Deji could respond, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw that Jiang Xiyu had been standing in the yard at some point.
"Madam." Seeing that Jiang Xiyu was alarmed, Deji and the guards immediately saluted her.
When Zheng saw Jiang Xiyu come out, she became even more excited and shouted angrily, "Jiang Xiyu, you still have the nerve to come out? Who were you having an affair with in the room last night?"
Jiang Xiyu rolled her eyes in anger at Zheng's words. "Having an affair? Mother must be getting senile, right? Otherwise, how could she say such vulgar and crude words?"
The word "old fool" directly angered Zheng Shi to death. Pointing at Jiang Xiyu, she cursed, "Don't think that you can do whatever you want in the Marquis' Mansion just because Rui'er is not here. You even dared to meet with a man in the middle of the night. You are simply rebellious."
Jiang Xiyu snorted and said speechlessly, "I don't even know who I was meeting with in the middle of the night. How did my mother know? Maybe someone instigated me."
As Jiang Xiyu spoke, he looked at Lin Rouyu with a cold gaze.
In the middle of the night, no one was sleeping and they all ran to her Jingyuyuan.
It goes without saying who instigated Zheng.
Lin Rouyu originally wanted to be an invisible person and just follow Zheng. After all, Zheng’s combat power alone was more than enough. Unexpectedly, she was suddenly called out by Jiang Xiyu.
"Sister, Rou'er is just worried about your safety and has no other intentions." Lin Rouyu's eyes flashed slightly and she admitted directly.
Although these words seemed to be an explanation to Jiang Xiyu, they were actually spoken to the people present.
Jiang Xiyu looked at her with a mocking smile on his face, "You are truly a peerless white lotus. Should I thank you for your concern?"
Lin Rouyu's expression changed slightly.
Zheng was immediately furious and pointed at Jiang Xiyu, saying, "Jiang Xiyu, you are really shameless. It was clearly you who cheated on her, and now you are blaming others. Our mansion was blind to marry someone as fickle as you."
Jiang Xiyu's face turned cold as she walked towards Zheng step by step. "Mother keeps saying that I'm cheating on her. If there's evidence, you can report me to the police and have me thrown into a pig cage. If there's no evidence, please apologize to me. Otherwise, we'll go to the Dali Temple and ask the adults to help us get justice."
Zheng was frightened by the captivating aura emanating from her and wanted to retreat, but sitting on the bamboo chair, she had no way to retreat. She could only bite the bullet and hold her head high, unyielding, and said, "You made such a big fuss last night, what evidence do you need? Aren't these guards all over the yard your witnesses of your abduction?"
Jiang Xiyu suddenly looked at Deji.
Deji was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and immediately knelt down in front of Jiang Xiyu. "I don't know why the old lady had such a misunderstanding. Madam, please forgive me. I will explain it to you right away."
Deji turned to Zheng and explained, "I don't know where the old lady heard about this. No thieves broke into the mansion yesterday. I was just patrolling with the guards. Before the Marquis left the capital, he specifically instructed me to protect the lady, so I paid special attention to her courtyard. I'm remiss in causing such a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Zheng didn't believe Deji's words at all. "Do you really think I'm old and confused? If no one had a secret meeting with her yesterday, why did you stay up late at night and bring so many people to Jingyu Garden? Did you also bring people to catch someone in adultery? Did you see that man? Who was the one who had a secret meeting with Jiang Xiyu?"
Deji was frightened by Zheng's series of questions and shook his head hurriedly, "What do you mean by catching an adulterer? Old Madam, you really misunderstood. I have never brought anyone to catch an adulterer. Please don't wrongly accuse me."
After Deji finished explaining, he hurriedly looked at Jiang Xiyu and said, "I didn't bring anyone to catch the adulterer. Madam, please don't listen to these nonsense."
He really had no intention of catching the adulterer. It was Xu Rui who asked him to protect Jiang Xiyu, and he was just worried about Jiang Xiyu's safety.
Jiang Xiyu naturally wouldn't blame Deji, "Get up, there's no need to explain to her. She's lost in her thoughts, and she won't believe you no matter how you explain."
