C16 (1/2)

As the saying goes, good things never go out, while bad things spread like wildfire.

Before the sky brightened, the news of the Qin family being splashed with feces had already spread through the streets and alleys of Beijing.

The people of the capital loved to listen to gossip. Such a shocking thing had appeared, causing everyone to guess who had done it. There were even many versions of the story.

Originally, that concubine had a lover, but when General Qin saw her beauty, he forcibly snatched her away. That lover's status was low, but he was unable to do anything about it, so he was both depressed and indignant, thus he came up with this scheme.

Some people said that it was the young son of the Military Department's Minister. Because three days ago, he had a dispute with General Qin over drinks at Chunmanou, he had resorted to revenge last night.

Some said that it was General Qin's political enemy in the court who did it in order to suppress and disgust him.

In short, there were many explanations, but the most convincing one was the adulterer, Lin Zhaojun. As for the reason, someone familiar with the matter revealed that the adulterer, Lin Zhaojun, had gone out a few days ago. She must have done something to piss off the princess!

Listening to Zi Yu talk about the rumors outside, Lin Zhaojun was deeply impressed by the gossiping abilities of the people in the capital. [The people are wise indeed!]

The people who had nothing to do with him had already thought up the truth. It was likely that even the ”victim” would come knocking soon!

Thus, Lin Zhaojun deliberately waited at the Prince's Mansion, unsure whether it was Qin Xu or Madam Qin who had come. However, regardless, the outcome would still be the same.

Indeed, just as Lin Zhijun had expected, Madam Qin and a few robust maidservants angrily rushed to the palace, clearly indicating that they wanted to meet Lin Zhaojun.

The housekeeper, Uncle Zhong, stopped Madam Qin's maidservant and sent her alone to meet Lin Zhaojun. Before meeting Lin Zhaojun, Uncle Zhong's anger had made his heart ache.

”Lin Zhaojun, you slut!”

From a distance, Madam Qin saw Lin Zhaojun sitting in the hall drinking tea and could not wait to scold him.

Lin Zhaojun frowned and said, ”Men, slap my face!”

Thus, before Madam Qin could even reach Lin Zhaojun, someone shot forward like an arrow. The two of them grabbed her and mercilessly slapped her several times in the face.

It only made Madam Qin dizzy. After the person released her, he lost his balance and almost fell to the ground.

Zi Yan thought to herself, ”This idiot dares to be so arrogant in other people's territory. His brain has been eaten by dogs!”

Madam Qin glared at Lin Zhijun and scolded him unsteadily, ”You dare hit me, you wicked woman! You will die a horrible death!”

”Madam Qin, you cursed at me the moment you entered the manor. It's not wrong for me to give you a few slaps!” If your mouth is still so dirty, I have even more powerful methods. Do you want me to help you broaden your horizons? ” Lin Zhaojun calmly said.

Madam Qin suddenly realized that the enemy was stronger than she was and no longer cursed.

”You must have had it done last night, didn't you?” Although Madam Qin spoke with a question, her tone was very certain.

Lin Zhaojun was somewhat amused, intentionally acting dumb as he asked, ”Last night? What happened last night? ”

”I know. Last night, it was one of your men who poured out the night fragrance of my manor!” Madam Qin said.

”Oh, so sure?” Lin Zhaojun asked again, ”What makes you think I'm the one who did it?”

Madam Qin was suddenly speechless.

However, the stench from her body reminded Madam Qin that the Qin Residence was filled with a terrible stench. Just staying here and doing nothing was enough to suffocate one to death.

I can't take this lying down, thought Madam Qin.
