It all happened in a split second . Before the crowd could come out of their stupor, they were plunged into another bout of chaos .
"Someone has died!" an unknown person yelled and the gathering crowd took a step back, forming a large circle .
"What are you yelling about? Can't you see no one died!" Jiang Pengji yelled and the crowd parted to let her through .
The maid came to her senses . She felt a strong push and landed in a thin, yet strong, embrace . Her heart nearly stopped beating from fright .
She shyly lifted her head and had a good look at Jiang Pengji's face . From her angle, Jiang Pengji had refined features that were almost like a lady's… The maid came out of her stupor and quickly flew away from Jiang Pengji .
"Thank you for saving me," she said quietly .
"It's good that you're all right . Go take a rest with the others . It's best that you forget what had happened tonight . "
Jiang Pengji coldly looked at the "servant" clutching their bleeding neck on the floor .
The maid was not bothered by all that and snuck a glance at Wei Yuan . Once she had received the approval from her master, she then left . The maid could not leave just because Jiang Pengji had said so, as she did not belong to the Liu's . If she had done so, Wei Yuan would most likely be upset .
"This is… a woman…"
Wei Yuan kept the housekeeper closest to him and let the rest of the servants leave .
Jiang Pengji noticed the fan she had thrown out and slit the "servant's" throat . She bent down and picked it up, then used a handkerchief to wipe the blood from it .
"How could this be a woman? If you don't believe me, you can remove his clothes and check . "
Once Wei Yuan heard that, he nodded his head at his housekeeper to do so .
Jiang Pengji lowered her gaze and watched from the sidelines, as though she was just another member of the audience .
Her channel's audience, on the other hand, was not that calm .
They watched the housekeeper step forward and lift his sleeves, then he positioned his hand at the lower half of the "servant's" body . He seemed to be making a squeezing motion through the "servant's" clothes before he frowned and some semblance of fear could be seen from his expression .
The stream's resolution was so clear and the action so sudden that Jiang Pengji's audience forgot to comment in their stupor .
Hongjun Laozude Juhua: "(*/w*) My eyes… First the host stepped on a man's crotch, and now an older person is fondling another man's crotch . Today's stream is too much . "
Zhubo Zhengmian Shangwo: "I don't care about that . All I wanna know is… How does it feel?"
Although the stream could get pretty raunchy, her viewers were worse . They had stopped censoring their words a long time ago .
The silent System decided to inject its opinion .
System: "My dear host, if it was not for your channel being special, you would have been blocked a long time ago . "
The interdimensional internet was currently in the middle of ensuring quality and safe content . What Jiang Pengji streamed would have had her banned a long time ago .
"Do you think I can control what the audience says or types? As a System, you should have added mosaic or censored certain words . You did not do your job and what has that got to do with me?" Jiang Pengji shirked responsibility .
System: "…"
Her response was so reasonable that the System could not find a way to rebutt her .
While Jiang Pengji was rebutting the system, the housekeeper had made his way back to Wei Yuan with a grim expression . He solemnly nodded his head .
It was a man .
Wei Yuan nearly fainted from anger when he received that response . He may not remember all his servants in the rear wing, but he knew that he would not let just anyone in as a servant .
In other words, the one who bullied his mistress, made him a cuckold, and ruined his daughter's reputation was the bastard lying on the floor before him . When he thought about how he found a man's clothes in his mistress' room while he was resting, he was furious .
What made him feel thoroughly discredited was that the scandal had reached the ears of someone who should not know .
Qiguan Rang was a man Wei Yuan had chosen as his future son-in-law . The other man was poor and had led a rough life . His wife had passed away and Wei Yuan felt that letting his daughter marry that man was putting her at a disadvantage, but at least it was not disgraceful . He had observed the man for awhile and felt that he could be trusted .
Since he was the future son-in-law, no matter how disgraceful the situation was, at least he was not an outsider .
For the sake of his daughters, Wei Yuan could tolerate losing face for them .
And it seemed like his student, Liu Xi, was in the know, too . Why else would she behave like that? Unless he had to get Liu Xi in as his son-in-law, too…
The most frustrating thing was that if Liu Xi had not scaled the wall, the "woman" would have escaped and they would not have found the culprit . Wei Yuan could not blame anyone, but to not blame anyone left a bitter aftertaste .
One's lifetime reputation was lost within a single night .
When he thought of that, Wei Yuan slumped a little as though he had aged within those few moments .
Even though Feng Jin did not know what was happening, based on Jiang Pengji's reaction and revelation, he could hazard a guess . When the the housekeeper confirmed that the servant was a man, he wished he was blind .
He was really implicated into the scandal by his unreliable friend, Liu Xi .
Even if he were to not breathe a word about this, Wei Yuan would probably bear a grudge against him .
Once Feng Jin started moving, Wei Yuan noticed him .
Wei Yuan was speechless .
Oh, forgot about this one .
Zhubo Cemian Shangwo: "Even though I should not laugh at this critical moment, I still did . It feels like this Wei Yuan dude's mistress was raped and he was cuckolded?"
Zhubo Beimian Shangwo: "I feel like laughing, too . But what I want to know most is what about his mistresses?"
Wei Yuan was an old-fashioned man . Even if his wives and concubines were innocent, he would still not be at peace in his heart . So… what would happen to those women?
Based on Qiguan Rang and Jiang Pengji's conversation, Wei Yuan treated his daughters well and was willing to plan their futures for them . Concubines, however, were not daughters, and it involved him being cuckolded . Would he even be that charitable?
