Chapter 328 - 328 Blocking the Door
328 Blocking the Door
“Nonsense! General Wei Bei’s wife has been talking to me here. How can there be such nonsense?” Zhou Ningqian’s expression changed when she heard the little girl’s words.
Thinking of the little girl’s expression just now and the series of events that had happened in the residence today, she could understand what was going on.
Most likely, someone was setting up a trap for General Wei Bei’s wife, who was sitting beside her.
She was worried and hoped that no one in Marquis Beining’s ministry was involved! Otherwise, if they really angered General Wei Bei, the consequences…
“It’s fine. There must be a misunderstanding. Let’s go over and take a look. If there’s a misunderstanding, it’s fine.”
Lin Suisui’s thoughts were completely different from Zhou Ningqian’s.
It seemed that this was the drama that Lu Ze had told her about. However, Lin Suisui knew Lu Ze’s way of doing things, so this probably wasn’t set up by Lu Ze. At most, he knew about this plan and decided to go with the flow.
In that case, she was curious about who this person was.
Zhou Ningqian didn’t refuse Lin Suisui’s suggestion. After all, it was better to explain this matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, if they delayed any longer, it would probably be difficult to explain certain things.
Therefore, she didn’t even have time to change her clothes. After she put on a cloak, she rushed towards the scene with Lin Suisui.
Contrary to Lin Suisui and Zhou Ningqian’s expectations, the scene wasn’t very chaotic. Surrounded by a group of black-clothed guards, everyone who came to watch was like a goose being strangled. Although their necks were stretched out, no one dared to make any unnecessary sounds.
Lu Ze only arranged for someone to surround the courtyard. He didn’t let anyone in to disturb the people making love in the room.
The women who had been arranged to break in were also blocked in the middle of the courtyard by Lu Ze and they listened to the commotion inside awkwardly.
“General, we were just passing by.”
The purple-robed woman in the lead couldn’t help but beg Lu Ze, who was sitting at the entrance of the courtyard with a dark expression, “It’s not good for us to stay here, right?”
“Passing by? Who was the one who said that the voice inside sounded like my wife’s?” Lu Ze looked up slightly and scoffed at the woman’s explanation.
“You guys have only met my wife once, but just from the voice, you guys were able to tell that she’s inside. Isn’t it too much of a coincidence?”
Lu Ze sneered as he exposed the woman’s excuse. He didn’t give her any leeway at all.
Seeing this, the woman knew that this matter had probably offended General Wei Bei. However, how could they be blamed?
They just wanted to go to the back garden to admire the plums. They happened to hear someone gossiping about General Wei Bei’s wife, so they came over to watch the commotion.
However, who would have thought that General Wei Bei would rush over as soon as they shouted…
“We don’t know either. We heard a girl mention it along the way. We were just curious and wanted to come over to take a look. We didn’t expect there to really be someone in this room, so…”
The woman couldn’t say the rest, but another woman beside her explained to Lu Ze, “We were just making guesses based on what that girl said previously.”
At this point, some smart people could already tell that this was a trap.
This trap targeted General Wei Bei’s wife, but for some reason, this news had been leaked. That was why General Wei Bei had appeared here to capture them…
Since General Wei Bei was here, the person inside was most likely not General Wei Bei’s wife.
After all, who would really make things public after catching their wife cheating?
Therefore, they didn’t hide anything else. They told Lu Ze everything they had heard on the way to the plum garden. Then, they said, “We were also curious at that time, so we wanted to grab those girls and ask them about it, but by the time the few of us went around the rockery, those girls who were chatting were long gone.”
“General, what are you doing?” Just as the woman finished explaining, she saw Marquis Beining rushing over with his men with an extremely ugly expression. When he saw Lu Ze, he asked bluntly, “Today is the old madam’s birthday. If there’s anything wrong with the reception, please forgive us. No matter how dissatisfied you are with the Song family, can you wait until the birthday banquet is over before acting up?”
Marquis Beining had yet to realize the seriousness of the matter.
He still wanted to maintain peace on the surface. He didn’t like Song Minghui, but his son was very capable.
Although he was unwilling, Marquis Beining had to admit that his least favorite son was the most like him.
He knew very well that Song Minghui had been very close to General Wei Bei recently.
Therefore, after he found out that something had happened here, he rushed over without asking about the details. He assumed that General Wei Bei was avenging his son.
Therefore, he had only one goal for coming here—to downplay things.
But it was obvious that he had miscalculated this time.
Lu Ze wasn’t someone who compromised. He glanced at Marquis Beining, who had already walked over and stood in front of him, with a smile. After a while, he asked indifferently, “Marquis Beining, do you think I sent people to surround this courtyard to cause trouble?”
“No matter what, this is a little too much.” Although Marquis Beining didn’t understand what Lu Ze meant, he still wanted to dissuade him.
“Peacefulness is conducive to earning money. We’re all in the north, so we’ll see each other from time to time. Why make our relationship so tense?”
“When you came here, didn’t anyone tell you what happened here?” Lu Ze was so angry that he laughed. Then, he looked up at Marquis Beining and asked word by word.
