You expect me to serve your mistress? The mistress is driving this scumbag and his entire family cra

Chapter 10 Lord Fang's hat is really green!

Fang Chengxu, displeased, ordered: "Go and see immediately, the distinguished guest is here, who is causing trouble?"

The servant rushed off to investigate and returned shortly after: "No one caused any trouble. It was Li Sheng from the manor who stole a bag of gold and silver jewelry and was caught red-handed by the gatekeeper. He was very indignant and kept insisting that it was a gift from the young mistress, making quite a scene."

"Nonsense!" Fang Chengxu's face immediately darkened. "The young mistress and he are not related at all. Why would she give him her personal jewelry and hairpins? Take her directly to the yamen and don't embarrass yourself here!"

The servant stood still and said, "That Li Sheng spoke recklessly. The old lady said that family scandals should not be aired in public, so you should handle it properly yourself."

Lu Xingzhan glanced at the master and servant duo, who were singing in unison, with great interest: "I, Lu, am most skilled at solving cases. Why don't we just invite your young mistress to come and confront her face to face? Wouldn't that solve the whole story?"

Fang Chengxu had the same idea, and immediately waved his hand, "Go and invite the young mistress here."

Before long, Li Sheng and Liang Jiang arrived at the banquet hall one after the other.

Li Sheng knelt on the ground, a bundle of yellow and white things scattered in front of Fang Chengxu, trembling with fear.

As Liang Jiang stepped across the threshold, the first thing she saw was Lu Xingzhan, who was sitting in the main seat. She glared at him fiercely.

With this troublemaker around, the Fang family is probably in for a lot of trouble today.

Just as he was secretly grumbling to himself, he heard a "smash" as Vice-Director He slipped his wine glass onto the plate, where it spun around a few times, splashing wine all over himself.

Deputy General He stared intently at Liang Jiang with great excitement, his lips trembling, but he couldn't utter a single word.

How could this be? How could this be!

She's still alive! She's really still alive!

Heaven has eyes!

Liang Jiang recognized Vice General He among the guests. Upon seeing an old friend, her eyes warmed and her eyes instantly reddened.

Thinking of his heroic figure fighting bravely on the battlefield alongside his father, and his broad, protective back as he shielded him when he was being naughty and punished, two years have passed since they parted.

Gu Xizhi, who was standing to the side, took in the expressions of the two men. She was surprised and coughed lightly to remind the discomposure of the deputy general, He.

Liang Jiang also suddenly woke up, instantly gathering her thoughts. She did not step forward to acknowledge him, but pretended not to recognize him. Her gaze skipped over Vice General He, but unexpectedly fell on Gu Xizhi's meaningful eyes.

Their eyes met, and her heart skipped a beat. She keenly sensed a deliberately restrained murderous aura emanating from the man, and there seemed to be a hint of cold mockery in the corners of his eyes and brows.

Liang Jiang never expected to encounter her father's former subordinate at the Fang residence today, and to be stared at so intently by those burning eyes. She was momentarily flustered.

Lu Xingzhan also noticed this and said sarcastically, "Oh, Lord Fang, is this your young mistress? Dressed so shabbily, she looks like a stingy person. How could she be so generous to her servants?"

Liang Jiang tied her hair with a jade hairpin, and only two white jade-carved twin gardenias were pinned at an angle. Her black hair bun was decorated with white and green interspersed, crystal clear.

She wore a light bean-green floor-length ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) and a white gauze skirt. Although she was not adorned with gold or silver, she was as elegant as a pear blossom in the rain, or a flawless piece of jade, making her approachable yet unapproachable.

Liang Jiang's turbulent emotions gradually calmed down. She cursed Lu Xingzhan inwardly for being heartless, earning her money while complaining about her stinginess.

But he pretended to be unfamiliar with her.

“This young master knows me better than my husband. I’m always one to take advantage of every opportunity, how could I possibly reward him with so much wealth in private? Just report it to the authorities, why waste time talking!”

Upon hearing this, Li Sheng immediately raised his face and protested his innocence: "Young Madam, if that's how you put it, then I won't be polite. These gold and silver jewelry were just given to me by you, how can you turn your back on me?" "Just given to you by me?" Liang Jiang raised an eyebrow: "Did I see you just now?"

"Didn't you ask me to meet you in your room today? You said that since the young master has returned to the manor, our affair might not be able to be kept secret any longer, and we need to make plans as soon as possible. You told me to pawn my jewelry and exchange it for cash so that we could elope another day."

These words caused an uproar among the audience.

Several local gentry immediately became gloating, discussing the matter with great enthusiasm.

"Lord Fang has been gone for a year and has not returned. Now that he has been dismissed from his post, his future is uncertain. Madam Fang is left alone in her empty room, and these days are indeed agonizing."

"These past two days, the whole of Fucheng has been filled with gossip about Madam Fang. I thought it was just some people spreading rumors, but I didn't expect it to be true! She really is having an affair, and she's even using the Fang family's money to subsidize the servants."

"I had heard that Madam Fang was virtuous and capable, managing the Fang family in an orderly manner all by herself. I never expected that she would make such a mistake. She should never have taken this step. The future glory of the Fang family will probably have nothing to do with her."

"Madam Fang is beautiful and charming, and gentlemen are attracted to her. She inevitably attracts attention and is coveted by many. This servant has a flirtatious look and is good at seducing respectable women and swindling them out of their money."

……

Li Sheng added insult to injury by crawling forward on his knees and grabbing Fang Chengxu's leg: "Young master, I'm sorry! I'm guilty, and I don't want to let you down."

She seduced me by all means, and then even offered to pay off my gambling debts. I'm penniless, which is why I did this thing that I feel so sorry for you.

Fang Chengxu's face turned green with rage. He kicked away the weeping Li Sheng and shouted angrily, "Liang Jiang, what else do you have to say? You have utterly disappointed your husband!"

Liang Jiang remained calm and composed, but before she could speak, Lu Xingzhan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"So lifelike! The acting is so realistic!"

Fang Chengxu frowned slightly: "It's an unfortunate situation for our family. I'm sorry to have made you laugh, City Lord."

Lu Xingzhan raised an eyebrow: "This wicked servant is spouting nonsense, and Lord Fang actually believes him?"

"How does the city lord know this?"

Lu Xingzhan remained calm and composed, then uttered a startling remark: "Just now, I was with your lady the whole time. How could she have been able to meet with this wicked servant in secret?"

These words caused a great stir, and the local gentry immediately straightened their backs, their eyes shining with excitement.

Oh my god! That's amazing!
The mysterious city lord of Fucheng is having an affair with the Fang family's new bride!
Everyone was waiting at the gate, eagerly anticipating his arrival. But the old man arrived late, and instead of waiting, he climbed over the wall and ridge and secretly went to cuckold someone.

Lord Fang's hat is so warm, layer upon layer, and a deep, glossy green.

Today's trip was truly worthwhile.

Fang Chengxu's expression changed several times, and he asked with a hint of disbelief, "Is the city lord joking?"

Lu Xingzhan shook his head, saying seriously, "I never lie. Madam Fang was wearing a purple soft silk dress just now. Even if she changed her clothes, I could still recognize her."

Liang Jiang: Lu Xingzhan, thank you so much!
