Dream of the Red Chamber: I can see the hidden labels of the beauties.

When Lady You saw Jia Rong's condition, she was shocked and forgot all about not looking at what was improper. She hurriedly went to the bed, bent down, and reached out her fingers to check Jia Rong's breathing and then felt his pulse on the side of his neck.

A moment later, her fingers froze, the color drained from her face, and her eyes were filled with horror.

Jia Rong had stopped breathing and had no pulse; his body was also starting to feel cold.

Moreover, judging from the manner of his death, it was clear that he died suddenly from excessive excitement during intercourse with a woman, causing his blood to rush to his head and his yang energy to deplete.

Commonly known as "horse-riding stroke," this condition has been the death of many纨绔公子弟 (spoiled young masters) throughout history.

For a moment, Madam You was also stunned. She subconsciously clutched her chest, stared wide-eyed at the already dead Jia Rong, her mind blank, and stood frozen in place.

She never expected that Jia Zhen had just died last night, his body barely cold, and today Jia Rong had also died. Father and son, one after the other, died suddenly in one day and one night.

One was killed by a loyal servant, and the other died from impotence during intercourse—such bizarre, absurd, and horrifying events.

Especially Jia Rong, who committed adultery with his father's concubine during his father's mourning period and died suddenly as a result. If this were to get out, probably no one would believe it.

But that was the reality. Even though Madam You was usually calm and had seen many storms, she was shocked and at a loss, not knowing what to do.

It was only the gasps of the maids around her that snapped her out of her reverie.

Madam You regained her senses, took a few breaths, patted her chest gently, took a few deep breaths to steady herself, turned around, and instructed the stunned maids and servants:

"Someone! Quickly, fetch a doctor!"

Although she had confirmed that Jia Rong had stopped breathing and had no pulse, he had only just died, so she still had to go through the motions. At the very least, she should call a doctor to take a look, in order to determine the cause of death and to have an explanation for the outside world later.

After instructing the maids to quickly fetch a doctor, Madam You turned around, her gaze like a knife sweeping over Pei Feng and Xie Yuan. Her face was grim, and her eyes flashed with barely suppressed anger. Finally, she couldn't help but rebuke them sharply:

"You two harlots, look what you've done! Get dressed right now and tell me everything that happened!"

Pei Feng and Xie Yuan were startled by the angry shout and finally came to their senses from their dazed state, realizing that they had really caused a huge disaster.

The two were panicked and scared, but they also felt ashamed. They hurriedly put on their clothes, tied their belts with trembling hands, and tidied their messy hair.

He knelt on the ground, head bowed, his lips trembling for a long time, but he didn't know how to begin.

Madam You stared at them coldly:

"Do you think I can't find out just because you don't speak up?"

Without looking at the two of them again, he called in the maid from Jia Rong's courtyard to inquire.

The maids were already terrified and their faces turned ashen. They dared not hide anything and could only tremble as they recounted what had happened that morning.

Madam You then summoned all the maids and servants around Pei Feng and Xie Yuan and questioned them as well.

As everyone chimed in, the matter gradually became clear.

The facts are not complicated. Pei Feng and Xie Yuan were trying to curry favor with Jia Rong in order to secure their future. They disregarded the fact that Jia Zhen had just died and they were still in mourning, and began to have an affair with Jia Rong.

They went to Jia Rong's room together, closed the door, and didn't seem to care about privacy.

What's even more hateful is that the two of them knew that Jia Rong hadn't slept since yesterday morning and had worked hard all night, yet they completely disregarded his health and only flattered and fawned over him, until this disaster was brought about.

After learning the whole story, Madam You was both angry and ashamed, and her expression changed repeatedly.

What's infuriating are these two shameless harlots. As Jia Zhen's concubines, they couldn't wait to seduce Jia Rong the day after their master's death. They are utterly shameless.

What's shameful is that these two were so eager and so disregarded their dignity. Even if they had waited until Jia Zhen's funeral was over, or ten days or half a month later, before getting involved with Jia Rong again, perhaps it wouldn't have been so disgraceful and embarrassing.

The more Madam You thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more she felt ashamed.

If this gets out, how will outsiders view the Ningguo Mansion?

The death of Jia Zhen was already mixed with a huge family scandal, and there was already speculation and discussion outside.

Now Jia Rong has died from adultery, and it happened the day after his father died. If this gets out, the Ningguo Mansion will be completely disgraced, and some things will be impossible to cover up.

Just then, Pei Feng knelt on the ground and finally couldn't hold back her tears and began to cry:

"Madam, it's not what you think. We...we just...we just wanted to make Rong-ge'er happy and relaxed, who would have thought..."

Before she could finish speaking, Madam You interrupted her sharply, raising her hand and pointing at her nose as she cursed:

"You vile harlot! How dare you speak like that? You two have utterly disgraced the Ningguo Mansion! You'll be severely punished! This matter will definitely be reported to the Grand Master and the Old Madam of the West Mansion!"

After saying that, he angrily flicked his sleeve, turned around, and refused to look at the two of them again.

Upon hearing this, Pei Feng and Xie Yuan felt their hearts sink to the bottom. Their faces turned deathly pale, and they collapsed to the ground as if all their strength had been drained away. They wanted to say something more, but found that they had nothing to say at all.

At the same time, the two vaguely felt that they had heard these words somewhere before. After thinking about it carefully, they realized that Jia Can had said the same thing to them this morning.

At that time, they were still unconvinced, thinking that Jia Can was nothing and had no right to say that they had disgraced the Jia family.

Now that Madam You has said the same thing again, and the facts are right in front of them, they have no choice but to admit it.

Jia Can was right, and he had warned them long ago, but they not only ignored it but also scoffed at it, which ultimately led to this big mistake.

The two people at the center of the storm were in a state of utter confusion and had no time to think about the whole incident.

If they could calm down and carefully recall every step of today's events from beginning to end, they would not have difficulty discovering that there seemed to be an invisible hand pushing them from the shadows, until they were pushed into this irreversible situation.

But at this moment, their minds were already filled with fear, regret, and many other emotions, so they had no mind to think about these things.

Before long, the doctor arrived in a hurry, accompanied by Jia Can, Jia She, Jia Zheng, and others who had rushed over upon hearing the news.

The group walked quickly, their expressions varied. Jia She led the way, his face serious, and immediately asked upon entering:

"Zhen'er's wife, what's wrong with Rong'er?"

When Madam You saw them arrive, she dared not hide anything. She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and told them the whole story in detail.

She made it very clear, without any attempt to hide anything. After all, she witnessed it firsthand, and Pei Feng and Yuan Yuan confessed without reservation. The evidence was conclusive, so there was nothing to conceal.

As for whether it's dignified or not, at this point, we can't care about that anymore.
