Chapter 289: Learning that Li Zheng went to a brothel
While Jiang Suining and the others were discussing this matter, the news that Li Zheng had gone to the brothel again was about to reach the Duke's Mansion.
Because of the previous incident of kneeling in the street, Yang Manman felt that she had lost face. She wanted to take revenge on Jiang Suining, but Duke Yang severely warned her not to cause trouble again. Only then did she finally calm down a little during this period of time.
Today, Yang Huihui, who is already married, returned home with her husband.
Her husband is a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites, a man of good character and appearance, with a bright future.
Sitting together in the lobby and chatting, Duke Yang and Wang were very friendly and full of praise.
Yang Manman didn't want to come here at first, but she was unwilling to give up. She wanted to see with her own eyes how Yang Huihui's husband treated her, so she also went to the lobby. At this moment, sitting here listening to them talking and laughing, she felt very unhappy in her heart.
Noticing her sister's expression, Yang Huihui said with concern: "Manman, you don't look well. If you feel uncomfortable, you can go and have a rest. We are all family, there is no need to be too polite."
After listening to Yang Huihui's words, Duke Yang and Wang turned their attention to Yang Manman.
Seeing that her face was indeed ugly, Duke Yang and Wang guessed the reason in their hearts, but because of the presence of their son-in-law, they naturally could not say much, so they asked Yang Manman to go back and rest.
"Manman, your sister is right. Since you are not feeling well, go back and rest." Wang's tone was still calm, but because she was deeply hurt by Yang Manman before, there was less concern in her expression. She was more worried that Yang Manman would say nonsense and affect the reputation of the Duke's Mansion.
"That's right, you can leave." Duke Yang also spoke.
Yang Manman was already furious, and when she heard these words that seemed to be trying to drive her away, she gritted her teeth.
"I'm fine, why should I retreat? Now that Yang Huihui is back, do I have to hide in the yard?"
Yang Huihui's expression froze, and she quickly explained, "Manman, that's not what I meant. I'm just worried that you're not feeling well."
"Thank you for your concern, I feel very comfortable!" Yang Manman said coldly.
"Asshole, how can you talk to your sister like that!" Duke Yang frowned, his face already filled with anger.
"Dad, don't be angry. Manman is still young, and it's normal for her to say something inappropriate occasionally. I believe she has no ill intentions." Yang Huihui hurried to smooth things over.
But her words only sounded more harsh to Yang Manman.
"I don't need you to pretend to be kind here." Yang Manman looked at Yang Huihui coldly, "You just want to pretend to be kind and generous."
"Manman, how can you say that?" Yang Huihui frowned and looked at her sister.
Wang's face darkened, "Manman, don't talk nonsense here. Your sister has always been kind and protected you. On the contrary, you are not only playful and willful, but also cause trouble everywhere, causing shame for our Duke's Mansion."
Huihui's husband is still here, and even if there are conflicts between the sisters, they can solve them privately. Why do they have to make a fuss in front of outsiders? What's more, Huihui's words were clearly to help Manman, but she not only didn't appreciate it, but was even so sarcastic.
Could it be that she deliberately wanted to create misunderstandings and estrangement between Huihui and her husband?
Wang's suspicious look hurt Yang Manman badly. Although she did have such thoughts in her heart, she still attributed Wang's suspicion to favoritism.
She stood up quickly and looked at them coldly.
"I know you all protect Yang Huihui. In your eyes, she is the best. I won't ruin your family reunion. I'm leaving now!"
After saying this, leaving Duke Yang and Wang, who had an unhappy look on their faces, Yang Manman turned around and left the hall without even looking back.
"Don't worry about her. She has been spoiled by us since she was a child." Yang Guogong said publicly.
Wang also said quickly: "That's right, just wait for her to calm down. I have asked someone to prepare food, we will eat together later. You have finally come back, don't ruin your mood."
"Okay, thank you, Father and Mother." Yang Huihui and her husband both responded.
Soon, the conversation continued as if nothing had happened and everything was normal.
Although Yang Manman strode out of the lobby, she did not leave. After turning a corner, she stopped outside the lobby, wanting to listen to what they were saying.
Seeing the people inside chatting enthusiastically again, she felt like her heart was on fire.
So, she is the extra one, right?
Obviously, she is much better than Yang Huihui, who never leaves the house and only knows how to play the piano and embroider, but all the good things happen to Yang Huihui!
Yang Manman was extremely unwilling and returned to her own courtyard with gritted teeth. As soon as she reached the door, she saw her maids Lian Qing and Lian Wei standing there with complicated expressions.
"What are you doing here!" Yang Manman said unhappily.
Lian Wei hesitated for a moment when she saw Yang Manman, but immediately stepped forward quickly.
"Miss, I just heard some news about Master Li."
"Are you bored and have nothing to do? What does his business have to do with me?" Yang Manman glared at the maid.
What news could there be about Li Zheng now? Could it be that his lame leg suddenly got better? Or that he suddenly won the emperor's favor and rose to become an official?
Apart from these, there was nothing else worth her attention.
"Miss, please forgive me!" Lian Wei lowered her head quickly after being scolded.
For a moment, he began to hesitate, wondering whether he should tell Yang Manman about Li Zheng's visit to the brothel.
Yang Manman didn't care about Lian Wei's expression at all. Feeling unhappy, she scolded her a few more words and walked into the yard.
Lian Qing had been standing aside since Yang Manman came over. When she saw her young lady passing by, she spoke.
"Miss, I just got the news that Master Li went to a brothel recently."
Yang Manman suddenly paused, turned her head in disbelief and looked at Lian Qing.
"What did you say?"
After coming to her senses, she started cursing again without waiting for Lian Qing to speak.
"You slut, you're talking nonsense! Li Zheng clearly promised me that he would never go to a brothel again!"
Could it be that Li Zheng had the guts to lie to her!
Lian Qing lowered her head, "We servants have only heard about it, we cannot confirm it. The news that has been passed into the mansion is that Master Li went to a brothel a few days ago and paid money to keep a girl named Yuechan."
Lian Qing was thinking very clearly in his mind.
Although the young lady seemed not to want to know the news about Mr. Li just now, she was going to a brothel after all, so she still had to be informed of this matter.
Otherwise, if the young lady knew about it later and got angry about it, she might blame them again.
But when she heard the name Yuechan, Yang Manman's face suddenly turned dark!
