Chapter 57: Three People Caught in an Affair

In late autumn, the rain is cold.

In the gloomy weather, Linlang walked at a very fast pace and hurried back to the yard from the corridor.

"Madam, they sneaked out of the house again." Linlang whispered in Chen Qingyin's ear.

Chen Qingyin glanced at Hu Mianmian who was practicing calligraphy.

She pursed her red lips into an icy arc, retracted her gaze, and lowered her voice to instruct Linlang.

"Has the wife of Marquis Jinyang replied to the post?"

"Yes, he is on his way now. Madam, you can prepare first."

"Okay, change my clothes." After Chen Qingyin gave an order, Linlang went to get clothes.

Chen Qingyin walked up to Hu Mianmian and spoke gently as she bent down.

"Mianmian, do you still remember holding your wife, the Marquis of Jinyang? Mother wants to go out with her today. It's raining outside and I can't take you with me. You stay at home and be good. Mother will let Linlang accompany you, okay?"

The little guy raised his fair face and blinked his big, grape-like black eyes.

Humph, mother is smiling, and it's obvious that she is lying.

"No, no, mother, I want to go too." Hu Mianmian acted like a spoiled child, hugging Chen Qingyin's arm and acting coquettishly.

Of course she knew what Chen Qingyin was going to do. In the past two days, she had been eavesdropping on Chen Qingyin and Linlang's conversations.

Of course, I am going to take a group of people to catch the adulterer!

These days, I heard from Youyou that in order to get pregnant with her third child as soon as possible, Liang Yunyan often secretly went out and did some obscene things in the inn with Hu Yunshen.

Hu Yunshen probably also tasted the sweetness of excitement and often indulged himself with her.

Combined with the fact that her mother had recently asked Linlang to pay attention to Liang Yunyan's movements, Hu Mianmian guessed it right away.

Cast a long line to catch a big fish, this time it's definitely time to reel in the net!

How can we miss her in such a wonderful scene?

The reason why Chen Qingyin didn't want to bring her daughter with her was very simple. She was afraid that she would see Hu Yunshen and Liang Yunyan in dishevel today.

What if the child saw this and it left a shadow on her?

But when she saw Hu Mianmian pouting and begging pitifully, Chen Qingyin couldn't bear to refuse.

After thinking about it, she decided to just let Linlang hold Hu Mianmian and wait for her in the carriage.

Chen Qingyin smiled dotingly, her eyes and eyebrows blooming with beauty and tenderness.

"You clingy little thing, I really can't do anything with you. Forget it, since you are my favorite baby, I will take you with me when I go out, okay?"

Hu Mianmian happily put down her pen: "Okay!"

It was cold and raining.

Fearing that Hu Mianmian would get sick, Chen Qingyin asked Linlang to put on a pink double-breasted top and a scarf for her.

Wearing a large flowing gauze hood, half of the little guy's body was covered.

When all preparations were completed, the carriage of the wife of Marquis Jinyang happened to arrive at the door.

Chen Qingyin carried Hu Mianmian up, and the little guy saw that in addition to the wife of Marquis Jinyang, there was actually another noble lady in the carriage.

Hu Mianmian looked at it curiously.

This noble lady was dressed in gorgeous clothes, her hair was neatly combed, and when she pursed her lips, she looked dignified and serious.

However, after seeing Chen Qingyin, the other party smiled slightly and was quite kind.

"Hello, Mrs. Hu."

"Hello, Mrs. Du." Chen Qingyin greeted with a smile.

She lowered her head, took Hu Mianmian's little hand, and sat down.

"Mianmian, this is your godmother, the wife of Marquis Jinyang. This one is the wife of the Minister of Works. You can call her Aunt Du."

"Hello godmother, hello aunt." The little guy's voice was sweet. When he took off his hood, a delicate and pink little face was revealed.

Mrs. Du's eyes lit up, and she reached out and hugged Hu Mianmian in her arms.

"Oh, you must be Mianmian, you are a great beauty just like your mother!"

Hu Mianmian covered her face with her hands a little embarrassedly: "I'm still young, a little beauty."

The ladies smiled at each other.

Hu Mianmian was playing in Mrs. Du's arms, but her ears were not idle either, eavesdropping on Chen Qingyin's conversation with the two of them.

It turned out that this Mrs. Du was a good friend of the wife of Marquis Jinyang.

The wife of Marquis Jinyang organized a party and invited Madam Du and Chen Qingyin to come out together to look at the materials.

The reason she found was also very plausible. Not long ago, Hu Yunshen took on the good job of repairing the moat, and Chen Qingyin wanted to have a meal alone with Mrs. Du to express her gratitude.

So the three ladies gathered together, and the carriage was heading towards the "Yue Lai Restaurant" which was a little unpopular in the capital, but had a very quiet environment.

Chen Qingyin said with a smile: "The braised lion's head there is extremely delicious."

This is Mrs. Du's favorite dish.

Her eyes lit up when she heard that. She knew Chen Qingyin had prepared it on purpose, and immediately smiled and said, "Then I'm looking forward to tasting it."

The carriage stopped downstairs of Yuelai Restaurant.

The waiter came out holding an umbrella to greet them, and Linlang helped Hu Mianmian put on her hood.

Because it was a cold festival and it was raining today, there were few people.

There were almost no people in the restaurant lobby.

Lady Jinyang: "I have already sent someone to reserve a private room."

The waiter smiled and said, "Yes, it's on the second floor, Tian Jing Sha. Ladies, please follow me."

After sitting in the private room, Hu Mianmian leaned against the window to watch the rain.

Suddenly I heard some bad noise coming from upstairs.

The little guy turned around and said, "Mom, there's a fight upstairs."

Chen Qingyin was stunned when she heard this. Madam Du had already walked over and hugged Hu Mianmian and asked, "Who is fighting?"

Hu Mianmian pointed upstairs with her little finger: "There is a sound upstairs."

The window happened to be open, and the sound came from the window on the third floor. Although it was faint, Mrs. Du still heard it clearly.

It was the sound of "hmmmm" and "ahhh".

What you are doing is self-evident.

The lobby and the second floor of this Yue Lai Restaurant are for dining, while the third floor is for accommodation.

Mrs. Du's face turned pale and she quickly covered Hu Mianmian's ears.

"Someone, go upstairs and see who is making love here, and the window is not even closed. It's really insulting!"

"Yes." The maids and servants brought by Mrs. Du immediately went out.

Mrs. Du took Hu Mianmian down and said, "Be good, Mianmian. Fighting upstairs is not a good thing. We won't listen to it."

The little guy nodded, not quite understanding.

Chen Qingyin looked at Linlang in confusion.

Something was wrong. Her husband Hu Yunshen was having an affair with Liang Yunyan in the last room on the third floor.

Logically speaking, the sound coming from upstairs should not be from them.

If the wrong person was caught and there was a commotion, giving Liang Yunyan and the others a chance to escape, Chen Qingyin felt that it would not be worth it.

Just as she was about to speak, Mrs. Du's maid ran down with a pale face.

"Madam, Madam, something's wrong," the maid's voice was filled with tears, "It's... it's the master!"

Chen Qingyin and the wife of Marquis Jinyang were shocked, they looked at each other and then looked at Madam Du.

Mrs. Du's face froze, then she suddenly stood up and rushed to the third floor without saying anything.

Chen Qingyin and the wife of Marquis Jinyang both stood up and chased after him.

"Linlang, keep an eye on the young lady and don't let her run around." As she said that, Chen Qingyin hurriedly followed.

Hu Mianmian pulled Linlang's sleeve with her backhand: "Let's go too, what if mother needs help?"
