concubines are respected

Chapter 57
After drinking for three rounds, everyone drank a little bit of honey wine to varying degrees, and even the eldest lady reluctantly drank two cups because of the warm atmosphere. Even though it was covered with thick fat and thick powder, her face was still slightly flushed.

Mr. Wu had the most fun. After drinking several cups, he was obviously drunk. He hiccupped slightly, stood up and shook his head repeatedly, and smiled apologetically to the eldest lady, "I am too drunk to drink, let Mrs. Lin Just kidding. Hiccup."

"Master Wu thinks he's drunk, so come here and help Master Wu go out to get some air." Third Aunt raised her voice and commanded with concern.

Lily immediately stepped forward to hold Master Wu's arm, and walked out of the main hall.

"Master Wu has always been a good drinker. Mrs. Lin treated her with kindness today, and Mr. Wu used it a little too much just now. Hehe!" Although Mr. Zhou is a little drunk, he is much better than Mr. Wu, but his words are a bit vague, " I will accompany Mr. Wu for a walk, and it would be good to go to Jiujin."

The eldest lady said with a smile, "Master Zhou is just resting, and the servants will be able to serve Mr. Wu properly. I will make a pot of hangover tea for you, and Mr. Wu will return later and drink the tea." It will be fine."

As he said, his gaze stayed in the center of the main hall, the budding epiphyllum on the carved pavilion, and he continued, "There is still a little time before Xushi, let Mr. Wu go out to sober up, and later you can have a full feast of epiphyllum." scene."

"Haha, Mrs. Lin is really thoughtful." Mr. Zhou smiled loudly, then sat down with peace of mind, and chatted with Mrs. Lin one after another.

The main hall finally fell silent, Lin Ruxue was slightly sleepy, raised her hand to rub her eyes, and leaned on the back of the chair to doze off boredly.

Lin Zhilan also sat lazily by the side and whispered to the maid beside her, hoping that after the epiphyllum blooms, she can go back to her room to rest as soon as possible.

Only Lin Yinglu showed great energy, her pair of big watery eyes carefully observed the expression changes of the people in the hall.Seeing that everyone didn't pay attention to him, he winked at San Yiniang and quietly retreated out.

Third Aunt took a sip of the teacup, and at the same time nodded invisibly in Lin Yinglu's direction, then put down the teacup calmly, with a suitable smile on her face, and talked with the eldest lady.

After a while, the tea in Mr. Zhou's teacup had been refilled twice, and when the epiphyllum with full flower bone in the center of the main hall was unaware, one of the petals had opened slightly, revealing the pale yellow stamen.The sharp-eyed servant let out a low sigh, "It's open, look quickly, the epiphyllum is blooming."

The most wonderful thing about appreciating epiphyllum is that you can watch its petals unfold one by one, and witness that a flower bone transforms into a blooming flower in a very short period of time.At this time, the petals are slightly opened, which is the precursor of the blooming epiphyllum.

Upon hearing the sound, the eldest lady also stopped the conversation with Mr. Zhou, and looked at Epiphyllum excitedly.I saw another petal seemed to be spiritual, broke free from the shackles of other petals, and bloomed in the blink of an eye.

"Okay, another petal has bloomed, wonderful, wonderful!" Master Zhou was also half awake from the wine at this time, and he praised repeatedly. He turned to the right side and was about to speak, only to find that the seat next to Master Wu was empty and unoccupied. There was no one, "Hey, Mr. Wu has not come back yet, if he misses the blooming season, it will be regrettable."

"Yes, Mr. Wu has been away for a long time, and he should be back." The lady said in surprise. At this moment, she couldn't care less about admiring the flowers, so she hurriedly said to the mother Hu who was waiting by her side, "Get out quickly!" Take a look and tell Master Wu that the hour is up."

Mother Hu blessed her body and walked out of the hall.

At the same time, Bai He hurriedly brushed shoulders with Madam Hu, and replied to the eldest lady, "Back to the eldest lady, I don't know where Mr. Wu has gone, and the servants can't find him?"

"Oh? What's going on, let's talk about it!" The eldest lady asked seriously with a serious expression.

"My servant just helped Master Wu to the side hall. When Master Wu said he wanted to rest, the servant went to make a cup of tea for Master Wu to sober up. However, when the servant returned with the tea, there was no Master Wu in the side hall. The figure. The slaves have been searching for a long time, but there is no one." Lily blushed anxiously, and the hair on her forehead was stuck to one place by beads of sweat.

"How is it possible? How could such a big living person disappear for no reason. I'll go out and have a look." While San Yiniang was speaking, she got up and walked out of the hall.

After hearing the words, Da Furen and Mr. Zhou couldn't sit still, they hurriedly followed and stepped out of the hall.

At this time, outside the hall, there were already several slaves and maidservants searching among the trees behind the rockery.

San Yiniang stepped into the yard first, and looked around with the light from the lantern hanging on the corridor, but Lin Yinglu was nowhere to be seen.Immediately stepped forward and whispered to Lily, "Where is Miss San, why is there no one around?"

Lily looked behind Third Aunt vigilantly, saw that the eldest lady was far away from Mrs. Zhou, and immediately responded in a low voice, "The third lady has gone to Fushouju to return to the old lady. It is not a trivial matter for Mrs. Wu to disappear in the mansion. You have to go back to the old lady to succeed."

"Yes, well done." San Yiniang nodded in satisfaction, then raised her voice and shouted to the maids who were looking for someone around, "Look carefully, if Master Wu makes any mistakes, everyone can't get rid of it!"

"Yes!" The servants replied timidly, their faces becoming more serious.

What kind of thing is this? Drinking wine and admiring the flowers, but in a blink of an eye, there are no guests. If Master Wu accidentally falls and knocks, causing a major injury or a minor illness, what should I do!

Mr. Zhou left Epiphyllum behind even more anxiously, stood in the courtyard, stomped his feet and said anxiously, "How can this be good? Mr. Wu is a distinguished guest of Kangzhou City. If there is a mistake, how can I report to the country?" Uncle confesses."

Not long after, the sound of footsteps came from the arched corner door on the west side of the main hall. It must be that the old lady got the news and led someone to come.

The corners of San Yiniang's lips pursed slightly, and she winked at Lily: It's time!

Lily bowed her head, stepped back to one side, pretended to search, her gaze stayed in front of the door of the second wing beside the side hall, and shouted loudly, "Hey, the door of this wing was closed well before, why is it concealed at this time? Someone went in?"

"Really? Could it be that Mr. Wu was sleepy after drinking and went in for a short rest?" Mr. Zhou greeted him with big strides, pushed open the door in a hurry and stepped in without any hesitation, and continued, " I gonna go see."

Lily stood aside and did not stop her, but turned around and cast a meaningful glance at San Yiniang.

The eldest madam also hurriedly followed, and just as she reached the door, she heard Zhou's startled voice in a distorted voice, "This, this."

"What's going on!" The eldest lady hurriedly asked when she heard something strange in her voice, and her steps became faster.

"Ah! My God! What's going on here!" Da Furen shouted, and the servants who followed behind her trembled suddenly in shock. Could it be that something serious happened?

At this time, San Yiniang also entered the room with the crowd, and when she saw the scene in the room, she immediately cried out in a strange way, "Oh, it's indecent, it's indecent!"

In the wing room, Mr. Wu's coat and boots were scattered on the floor, and beside the step beside the bed, a butterfly coat with colorful beads was stretched on it, and the colorful beads on the butterfly coat gleamed in the candlelight.

On the bed, a woman in a light pink obscene dress was lying on her side facing the inner wall, and a man was also lying on her side, holding her in his arms from behind with both hands, sleeping very sweetly.

In such an evocative scene, the maids, who were so startled, blushed their cheeks and lowered their heads not daring to look directly at the bed. Lin Zhilan and Lin Ruxue even stepped into the room, exclaimed, and hurriedly retreated to the room. Beside the door, I dare not take a step forward.

The man on the bed was clearly the missing Mr. Wu, and the woman, although she looked disfigured for a moment, but judging from the Dieyi thrown on the bedside step, she must be the young lady of the mansion.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, the adulterous behavior of the two of them was clearly seen at a glance. The lady's face could not be restrained. If it got out, the young ladies of Lin's family would have no face to see.

Thinking of this, the lady staggered, took a step back unsteadily, and murmured, "It's amazing, it's amazing."

Mother Hu hurriedly supported Da Madam's arm, and comforted her anxiously, "Madam Hu, you have to pay attention to your body."

At this time, the old lady had already entered the hall courtyard under the service of her servants. Seeing the crowd crowding in front of the door of the second wing, she raised her voice and asked, "What's the matter? Didn't you say that you are in the main hall to enjoy the show?" Is it a flash in the pan, how come they all ran to the second compartment!"

As soon as the third aunt saw the old lady coming, she immediately stepped forward and carefully helped the old lady into the wing room, and at the same time shouted loudly, "Old lady, you are finally here, something serious happened in the house, look. Look quickly What's the matter?"

Then he raised his finger to point to a man and a woman who were sleeping soundly on the bed.

"Ah!" The old lady was startled, and slammed the crutch in her hand, "Who is this woman? Who did such an indecent thing, wake me up, quick!"

In desperation, the crutches in the old lady's hands hit the bluestone ground, making a thumping sound, which was extremely ear-piercing.

The third aunt feared that the world would not be chaotic and shouted, "It's Lin Suxian, this bitch is just like her mother, she can't do anything else, she only knows how to hook up with men. Unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, she actually crawled onto Mrs. Wu's bed went!"

The old lady's face turned pale when she heard the words, and her lips trembled a little because of her extreme disappointment. She raised her hand and pointed at the bed with her crutches, and scolded, "What, it's Qian'er! What are you doing in a daze! You're not happy!" Wake me up!"

Seeing that the old lady was frightened and angry, Third Yiniang walked proudly to the bed.

At this time, a lazy voice came from outside the room, "Grandma, do you have something to call Xian'er?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and Third Aunt's back turned cold in disbelief, and she saw Suxian standing in front of the door sleepily, rubbing her eyes and yawning innocently. everyone.

Swallow, who was following the old lady, stepped forward to hold Suxian's arm in surprise and said, "Second Miss, I finally found you. I couldn't find you just now, so I was in a hurry, so I went back to the old lady."

"Oh, I was very sleepy, so I took a nap in the next room. I just fell asleep when I was woken up by your yelling." Suxian yawned again and said lazily.

"You. Are you next door?" Third Aunt was stunned, she turned around and glanced at the woman on the bed, then at Suxian standing outside the door in neat clothes, she glanced at Lily from the corner of her eye, her eyes full of surprise.

If she has been sleeping next door, who is on the bed?
Lily shook her head at a loss, her expression visibly flustered.

A sense of ominousness surged in San Yiniang's heart, she didn't care too much, she strode forward and pulled the sleeping woman over the bed.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, San Yiniang can barely catch her breath, she leans back, falls heavily to the ground, and exclaims in panic, "Impossible, impossible, how is this possible."

The woman on the bed was Lin Yinglu. In her deep sleep, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, as if she had dreamed of something good.
