Chapter 779 - 738: Unwarranted Favor_3
Is there an issue with the clothes? Or is there another problem?
She quickly glanced around the room; apart from a flower pot on the window sill, there was nothing else unusual. The incense in the burner had already burned out, leaving a faint scent in the room.

Now is not the time to find the reason, the priority is to get Wenjin out.
But the windows in this house are so high.
Mrs. Xia was in a state of chaos.
The master has only this one niece, and they had just recently acknowledged her. She had brought her out, and if something happens, how could she explain it to the master? And how to explain it to the third younger brother?
Not to mention the explanation, she regarded Wenjin as her daughter. If it were her own daughter in such a situation, as an aunt, her eyes would have been filled with rage long ago.
Time was running out; people outside would soon come in.
Mrs. Xia looked at those wardrobes.
Since climbing out the window wasnât an option, she had to hide in the wardrobe.
The two people on the bed seemed to be in a daze.
She quickly walked to the bedside; she didnât care about the man, she just wanted to hide Wenjin first. Hiding her for a moment is a moment gained, and by then, sheâd have her two sons guard this place.
If she refused to let others search the house, not even Princess Ning could argue with her as the Prime Ministerâs Wife.
Mrs. Xia extended her hand, ready to separate the two people.
At that moment, she saw the manâs face clearly.
Her heart shook violently; this matter was not going to be easy.
Why is it him?
Could it be that Princess Ning is daring enough to plot against him?
The Imperial Grandson!
A youth of noble birth, a distinguished young talent, one of the three gentlemen of the Capital City.
Mrs. Xia bit her lip; who cared who he was?
She just wanted Wenjin to be safe.
She didnât have much time.
Mrs. Xia reached out decisively this time, wanting to pull up the woman buried in the manâs neck, but as soon as she touched her, Mrs. Xiaâs hand was pushed away.
Mrs. Xia was extremely anxious; whatâs wrong with Wenjin? At this point, even being incoherent would be understandable, but she was still able to free herself from her grasp.
Wenjinâs lack of cooperation made things much more difficult. By then, someone outside was already speaking loudly: "Whatâs going on inside? Xia Xiaozhe, what do you brothers mean by blocking the door? Itâs not like your sister is in there!"
The Xia Brothersâ faces were sullen, but they kept their silence, wasnât she indeed their sister?
Son of the Imperial Tutor, Zhao Hua, swaggered over, famous in the Capital City as a playboy, he didnât care who the Xia Brothersâ father was; his father was the Imperial Tutor, and his status in court was no lower than anyone elseâs.
He placed a hand on Xia Xiaozheâs shoulder, winked at him, and smiled: "Xia Shuishui, if thereâs fun to be had, we should all join in. Itâs not fair of you to keep it to yourself. Step aside and let us in."
Xia Xiaozhe shrugged his shoulder, shaking off his hand, which didnât bother him at all, as he beckoned to the side and said, "Look, Xia Shuishui wants to enjoy himself alone, should everyone agree?"
Equally known as a playboy, Wei Jian, grandson of the Dingyuan Marquis and son of the Assistant Minister of War, laughed frivolously, "We absolutely canât allow that!"
With a few playboys acting up, Princess Ning retreated a few steps, completely clearing the doorway, though she was the hostess, she assumed the role of a spectator!
Zhao Huaâs idle friends crowded in at this moment.
Right now, no one cared about gender propriety, but with so many grown men squeezing in, many noblewomen stepped back to make room.
Zhao Hua smiled smugly, tilted his head, and upon receiving his hint, they surged forward, crashing into the Xia Brothers and opening the door with a bang.
Zhao Huaâs group rushed in.
The noble ladies and gentlemen who had stepped back a moment ago also flooded in.
The room was quite large, but the sudden influx of people made it feel cramped.
Though the Xia Xiaozhe Brothers couldnât win against so many people, they immediately rushed back, but they couldnât block the gap anymore.
From the moment Mrs. Xia entered, to when the Xia Xiaozhe Brothers were pushed away, only a short time had passed.
Zhao Hua was in such a rush, worried that Mrs. Xia would do something inside, preventing them from enjoying the spectacle.
They werenât close with the Xia Family, why cover up for them?
So naturally, everyone should witness it, let everyone enjoy the show together!
These playboys didnât just kick open the door; they even moved the screen aside, exposing the two people on the bed to everyone.
Mrs. Xia stretched out her arms to block the crowd, her voice sharp with urgency, "Donât come over!" She had just been pushed away when she was about to pull them apart again, there was a loud noise outside, and then people rushed in, leaving her no time to react!
