Chapter 465: Being Caught in Bed

The door was opened. People looked inside together and saw a maid falling to the ground. On the wide bed, a woman with her clothes in a disheveled state was in a man’s arms. The man was running his hands all over her, while half of the woman’s fair arm was exposed. They stood at the door and were stunned.

“Who is she? She is so shameless.” One madam could not help saying in disgust. She understood instantly when she took in the scene. It was certain that this woman had a private date with this man in the temple, but her maid discovered it somehow, gave a scream and then startled them.

This man looked lascivious. Even though he saw so many people coming in, he still touched the woman several times. So, he was definitely not a decent guy. However, for such a good woman to actually have a private meeting with him, she had to be really cheap.

“This… isn’t that the Eldest Young Lady of the Lord Protector’s Manor and now the Young Madam of the Xia Manor?” Someone recognized Ning Ziyan. Before she married into the Xia Manor, she was a famous talented woman in the capital. When the Lord Protector’s Manor received invitation letters, she was the usually the one who attended on behalf of her family, so many people knew who she was.

It was only when she married Xia Yuhang that she lost her reputation. Slowly no one invited her to any banquets and then she stayed out of the public eye.

Ning Ziyan felt that she was going crazy. She had rushed over without a maid and wanted to catch Ning Xueyan in bed. However, before she arrived at the place, she felt a pain at the back of her head and then blacked out. When she woke up again, she found a pair of hands groping her body before she could respond.

Then, the maid let out an earth-shattering scream and the back door was suddenly kicked open. A large crowd of people stood at the door and looked at her, stunned. Just as she tried to struggle to get up, someone dragged her down so that she was unable to get up. She looked back and saw the man’s extremely obscene face close to her own. He was smiling cheekily and shamelessly hugged her in front of so many people outside.

Feeling ashamed and annoyed, Ning Ziyan fiercely pushed the man away and rushed out without pulling on her clothes. How could this happen? How could this happen? Shouldn’t it be Ning Xueyan? And who was this ruffian? This wasn’t the man she had arranged in advance. Although the man she arranged was a playboy, at least Prince Yi could not deal with him at will.

Ning Ziyan struggled hard and said, “Who are you? Let me go, I don’t know you.”

“Who am I? Didn’t you invite me here for a private meeting? After taking advantage of me, don’t you want to admit that now? You specifically asked your maid to bring me in and wanted to meet me to relieve your lovesickness! Why don’t you admit it now?” The man was indeed a ruffian. He was also not very sure why he showed up here inexplicably and there was another woman in the bed.

He was originally a ruffian from the back mountain and often flirted with women in daily life. Now such a beautiful woman popped up in his bed, so he could not bear it anymore and got close to touch her, regardless of anything. Unexpectedly, the door was kicked open before he could do anything to her. Now he knew things were in a bad way, so he attached himself closer to Ning Ziyan.

If he was said to have a private meeting with her, he would lose his reputation at most. Anyway, he had little to lose. As a ruffian, it was a romantic and glorious thing for him to have an affair with such a beautiful woman. But if he was accused of trying to rape her, he would be sent to jail, so this ruffian was very clear about this.

At this time, he certainly caught Ning Ziyan off guard and insistently said that she specially asked him to see her in private.

“You are talking nonsense! I am not such a person, I am not!” Ning Ziyan was very anxious. When she saw the ruffian extending his hand to touch her so publicly, she became furious at once. She kicked and pushed him hard and at the same time, yelled at the maid sitting on the ground, “Hey, come and help me!”

The maid was in a daze. When she woke up and saw a man and a woman entangled together before her, she shouted subconsciously. After that, she became frightened again. Why was the woman in bed her Young Madam? Why was it not the Fifth Young Lady, but her Young Madam?

She couldn’t come to herself for a moment and looked blankly at Ning Ziyan and the ruffian tussling back and forth. Hearing Ning Ziyan’s angry curse, she jumped up to help Ning Ziyan and pulled her out of the ruffian’s arms.

Because of the panic, the maid protected Ning Ziyan and pushed her behind her back, then turned to the ruffian and angrily rebuked him, “Let go of our Young Madam. Do you know who she is? Our Young Madam is the daughter-in-law of Minister Xia, so she will never have been with you. It must be that you deliberately framed our Young Madam and I will send you to court later.”

When he heard this, the ruffian became anxious and had a guilty expression. A ruffian like him was most afraid of going to the court. He glanced around and wanted to escape, but there were so many people blocking the doorway. It was impossible for him to escape.

The ruffian looked around and suddenly saw a paper roll at hand. He picked it up casually, took a look and immediately became excited. He pointed to the portrait on the paper roll and said with a smug smile, “It sounds impossible, but take a look at what this is. It is clear that she asked me to come here. How is it possible for me to frame her? And this is a gift from her. Although I am of low status, my skills in bed are much better than her man in her home, so she said she likes me.”

People present looked at the picture on the ground and found that it was really a woman’s portrait. Although it was only a head portrait, they could clearly see that it was Young Madam Xia in distress, before them.

“You are really shameless!” Someone spat at Ning Ziyan.

“No wonder she walked in such a hurry without a maid before. It turns out that she was in a hurry for her rendezvous. What a bitch!”

“It is really a pity for her to be the Young Madam of the Xia Manor. Now it seems that she is not as good as those women in the brothel.” Several madams originally had some doubts, but were totally convinced when they saw the portrait.

“Like mother, like daughter. Her biological mother is not a good person. Have you heard about what happened in the Lord Protector’s Manor recently? Before her biological mother came to the Lord Protector’s Manor, she had a clandestine affair with the Lord Protector. Speaking of it, she was really ill-behaved and vicious. She came up with an evil plot to make the principal wife into a concubine.”

A madam mentioned what had happened in the Lord Protector’s Manor. Before this, someone had already gossiped and spread it out on purpose. Of course, Madam Ling was the main character of this scandal, while her two daughters added more color to the scandal.

“I’ve heard before that Young Madam Xia and Eldest Young Master Xia also had a love affair like this, so it’s not strange that she had an affair with another man. However, Eldest Young Master Xia is so pitiful. Such a gifted youth was ruined by such a bitch…”

The more they talked, the harsher it sounded. Those madams who blocked the doorway seemed not to see Ning Ziyan in a dilemma, and turned around with sneers, one after another. They actually ignored Ning Ziyan and laughed away, but no one reached out to help her.

Ning Ziyan huddled up and started shaking violently. She looked at the place where the madams left, in despair. She wanted to rush to stop them and tell them that she had been framed. However, she did not know how she showed up here with this man and she also did not know who he was.

But now, she could not utter a single word. She pulled on her clothes and her eyes were red with tears. As long as these madams went out of the yard, she would lose her reputation. After that, she would not be able to explain clearly anymore in the future. No, no, this was not what she wanted. She was innocent! She was really innocent!

However, she had no evidence. She was not able to explain it clearly and also did not know why she was here, so no one would believe her.

At this time, the ruffian dressed himself, came over and squatted down frivolously. He pinched Ning Ziyan’s face and said proudly, “Hey, Young Madam Xia, how about having a private date with me again? Next time we will find an empty place to have fun, so that others will not disturb us.”

Although he failed to sleep with her today, he met such a beautiful woman at least. This could be regarded as his proud romantic affair. In any case, others would envy him after he told them about it. She was also Young Madam Xia. He must make it clear to his brothers, lest they thought he was telling a lie.

“There is evidence for this matter, so it is not me making up a story casually.” The ruffian thought.

He stood up and laughed proudly a few times. After that, he ignored Ning Ziyan squatting on the ground, laughed heartily and left. No matter how this happened, he did not lose out, did he?

“Young Madam, put on your clothes first. We will go back and tell madam that someone tried to frame you. It was not your real intention.” At this moment, the maid was extremely frightened and came over, shivering. Young Madam had gotten into trouble when she was at her side, so after going back, the madam in the manor would not let her go.

Ning Ziyan’s brain was in a mess and she felt dizzy. The maid helped her to stand up and get dressed. Her eyes were glazed. How did this happen? Shouldn’t Ning Xueyan be the one who was supposed to be here? Shouldn’t Ning Xueyan be the one to have been discovered having an affair with a man? Once this happened, Prince Yi would never care about her anymore.

After that, it was much easier to vindicate her mother’s reputation. Ning Xueyan would be a woman abandoned by Prince Yi, and would also lose her reputation, then who would be willing to stand up for her?

Ning Ziyan chose a man in advance, because she was afraid that Prince Yi would have some doubts. Once he discovered the truth, it would be a big disaster. With such a man standing in front, Prince Yi would not do him any harm and she would be safe, so she chose this man. In order to find him, her elder brother also did a lot of work.

But how did things turn out like this now? Who was this ruffian? Why was he here?

Ning Ziyan turned her blank eyes and met a pair of black jade-like eyes. There was a young lady standing under the peach tree. She was beautiful and cold. When she looked at Ning Ziyan, it was as if Ning Ziyan was just a pile of rubbish and there was a hint of ridicule and sarcasm in her cold eyes.

She was mocking her over-confidence, the failure of her plan and the mess she was in. Ning Ziyan could not bear it anymore and fell down feebly. The maid beside her screamed in fear and hurried to hold her.

“My lady, do you want to go in and have a look?” Xinmei and Ning Xueyan had watched the show for a long time. At this time, when she saw Ning Xueyan stopping there, she thought she wanted to go inside, so she asked softly.

“No, now I’m going to see what my good Second Sister has prepared for me!” Ning Xueyan revealed a cold smile and thought, “Ning Ziyan has set a trap for me and it is not over. The following show should be more amazing and lively!”
