Seeing the two people in each other's arms, Zheng Qingluo was not sure if she should go forward or retreat. She hesitantly turned her head and searched around the crowd for Zheng Qingjiao's figure, her eyes filled with helplessness.

At this time, Zheng Qingjiao almost vomited blood. Even with all precautions, she was unable to stop his sister from stirring up trouble, as she lost all her face, "Hurry up and help your young miss up."

With the soft and fragrant soft jade in his arms, Lin Hongyi was a little reluctant to let go.

"You stepped on his skirt and even slapped him. You are truly arrogant."

"That's right, I've long heard that the third young miss of the Zheng Mansion was bullied by the daughter of the successor. This time, I saw it with my own eyes."

"What successor? She's nothing more than a righteous concubine. No wonder she looks like that."

"Think about it, in the imperial court, who would die from having a proper wife? Instead of marrying a concubine properly, they would instead marry a concubine. How could such a family have any well-bred young miss?"

"Yes, the Zheng Mansion only has the Third Young Miss, it's a good thing they don't like the Third Young Miss, otherwise the Third Young Miss would have been brought to the side."

"The Third Miss is still rushing over to help her. It's fine if she doesn't appreciate your kindness, but she still beat people up. No wonder there are so many people here, but it's just her that's in trouble."

Hearing the various discussions in the crowd, Zheng Qingyan really started panicking. She did not want to be married off to a useless person who loved to cause trouble, then her generation would be finished. No matter how foolish Zheng Qingyan was, she understood this logic.

Originally, she wanted to have the ladies to bear witness to her fall due to being persecuted by others. She didn't know that things would turn for the better, but she didn't expect her plan to be ruined with just a slap. She raised her arm to look at her palm, rolled her eyes, and fainted.

"Second Sister, Second Sister."

Zheng Qingluo didn't care what the situation was like, she had to be determined to be a good sister to her sister. She had to take good care of her sister who wanted to push her into the man's arms.

"Wake up, Second Sister, he didn't do anything to you, you'll be fine."

Hearing these words, Zheng Qingjiao wanted to gag her. At this time, she was not in a hurry to bring her back, and was even reminding others what had happened to her.

But Zheng Qingjiao only thought about it that way. She really didn't have the courage to stand out right now, and under everyone's gazes, she felt ashamed and afraid.

"Oh right, let's go look for Mother. Mother will definitely have a way. Mo Li, quickly go look for Mother and tell her that Second Sister has fainted."

This scene caused all the young misses to be deeply moved. They all said that Second Miss looked down on the Third Miss the most, but when something happened to her, the one who was most worried was the Third Miss.

Even though she was slapped, she still cared about the relationship between sisters. As for the young lady who was said to have a good relationship with her, she simply hid in the crowd and didn't dare to show her face.

Even if Wang Zirou was wise and smart, she was still young in the end, and such a thing suddenly happened, causing her to have no idea. Fortunately, she already had a wife running back to report.

The few ladies in the room immediately gathered together and arrived at the back garden. Fortunately, the courtyard wasn't too big. In just a short moment, they had arrived at the pavilion.

"What exactly is going on? What happened to Second Miss? " Seeing Zheng Qingyan who had fainted in the hands of a servant girl, the Madame Zheng Qiu's asked anxiously.

"Second Sister, Second Sister stepped on my skirt and then fell off the pavilion. Unfortunately, this Young Master caught him and Second Sister fainted right after."

Zheng Qingluo sobbed back at Madame Zheng's words. She briefly narrated what had happened, but not only did she get slapped, all of the young ladies present had a better impression of her character.

At the same time, she felt that she was not worth it, and thought of Second Miss wholeheartedly. However, it seemed that Second Miss did not have any feelings for this Third Miss, and that slap did not have the slightest hesitation.

Hearing Zheng Qingluo's words, the Madame Zheng was immediately stunned.

"How could this be?"

She pointed at Lin Hongyi again, and asked with a gloomy expression.

"What's going on? Who is he?" Why would it appear here? "

This was already the inner chamber, and it was a specially prepared Spring Festival feast. The guests were all young ladies and must have come to clear the area. Why would there be an outsider appearing in the back garden?

"Madame Zheng, let's go to the main hall to talk. There's a lot of inconvenience here."

Madam Wang also suppressed the anger in her heart and glared fiercely at her disappointing nephew. However, she still calmly considered the occasion and reminded Madame Zheng of the seriousness of the situation and of the need to consider thoroughly.

How was this something a mother should do? Her daughter's reputation was up, not to mention there were so many ladies, just to avoid suspicion, she should first find a quiet place. Everything could be discussed, but it could be big or small.

"Qingyan …"

Looking at her unconscious daughter, Madame Zheng was also very worried. She called her daughter and then quickly stopped. There were men here, so she couldn't call out her daughter's name in front of an outsider.

He turned around and called for his wife. "Quickly bring a small palanquin over here and bring Second Miss Zheng back to her main house. Then call for a doctor to come over. Hurry."

Then, he turned back to discuss with the various ladies, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am truly sorry, but this matter is a little urgent, so I will first bring Madame Zheng and Second Miss to the main hall. I will trouble the ladies to accompany the ladies to sit for a while, is that alright?"

"Go busy yourself, Madam Wang. We'll find some fun for ourselves."

"Then I'll have to thank all of you ladies. Take responsibility if things suddenly happen."

"You're welcome, then we'll go over first."

"Zi Rou, bring the madams and ladies to the Flower Hall first. After I'm done with this, I'll have someone inform the rest of you."

Only after seeing all the madams and mistresses leave the backyard did Lady Wang heave a sigh of relief.

The more he thought about it, the more troubled he felt. His heart was already in a mess, he had no idea what to do, he could only listen to what Lady Wang had to say.

Help the Second Miss into the sedan, let's return to the main hall.

When they arrived at the main hall, the doctor still hadn't come. Second Miss was carried to the inner room by the maidservants.

Lin Hongyi stood straight in the hall, without any fear at all. Just this point caused the Madame Zheng to have a whole new level of respect for him.

Moreover, Lin Hongyi still had a pair of good skin and skin. Looking at him from the bottom of his eyes, they were all handsome men, and the Madame Zheng still held onto a strand of hope that this man would have a better family background.

Then, he would just go with the flow and marry Qingyan off. There was nothing left for him to worry about, the current Madame Zheng had completely forgotten everything in a wishful thinking. Back in the garden, Madam Wang had called Wang Zirou by her maiden name.

If she wasn't a relative of her own, she wouldn't call him that. In Mrs. Wang's family, the only adult male was her notorious nephew.

"Madame Zheng, I am so sorry. It is all my family's fault that something like this happened. This is my little sister's son, nephew Lin Hongyi."

This Lin Hongyi, in Weir Prefecture, there was nothing that he did not know. He did not have any proper work to do the entire time, and would only come and go in hooks, theatres, brothels and gambling halls. That was a very famous name, but it was not a very good one.

"Lin Hongyi, he is Lin Hongyi?" The Madame Zheng still could not believe that such an unsightly person would actually have such a handsome face.

"Why would he come to the backyard? Today is your family's banquet, and if this matter is exposed, it would be because your family doesn't care." Madame Zheng was completely flustered and didn't know how to give her daughter a good ending.
