In the room, two people were wrestling.
It was obvious at a glance that "Ning Anmiao" had the upper hand.
The long dress "Ning Anmiao" wore when she came had been violently torn into a short one, and the skirt had been tossed aside. But the rest of the dress was still intact. Now she was straddling a man boldly.
A huge vase had fallen to the floor and was now shattered into pieces, with fragments scattered everywhere.
The loud noise just now must have come from this vase.
The man pinned down was Zheng Xing, the idle and promiscuous playboy of the Zheng family.
"Now, Ning Anmiao's" eyes were blood - red and terrifying, without a trace of warmth. Her fists pounded crazily at Zheng Xing's face. The movements were mechanical but fast, and each blow seemed to use all her strength.
"Stop hitting, ouch..."
"I'm wrong, my lady, I'm wrong..."
The man on the ground groaned in pain continuously. His face was badly swollen, and blood oozed from his nose and the corners of his eyes. He looked extremely disheveled.
Seeing this situation, Ning Anmiao finally let out the breath she had been holding.
Thank goodness nothing serious had happened.
Noticing the strange look on Lu Yan's face, her heart skipped a beat. She stepped forward to stop him. "Okay, okay, stop hitting."
Judging from Lu Yan's furious look, if he continued, it might cost someone's life.
Now Lu Yan was blinded by rage and didn't notice who was coming to stop him. He waved his fist and was about to charge at Ning Anmiao -
The fist wind suddenly stopped the moment it was about to hit Ning Anmiao's face, hovering just in front of her nose.
"Are you... Miaomiao?" His voice was very weak, as if he wasn't sure. His vision was also blurred by the bloodlust, and he couldn't see the person in front of him clearly.
His physical strength had long reached its limit.
Lu Yan's voice was so soft that only the two of them could hear it.
Ning Anmiao looked back at the people who had followed and were now watching. She also lowered her voice and comforted him. "Yes, it's me. You're safe now."
"That's... good."
His tense body immediately relaxed. After weakly uttering these three words, he slumped down heavily. Ning Anmiao caught him in time.
Just then, the people outside gathered closer. Looking at the mess in the room, they began to whisper to each other.
"Why did something like this happen on such a happy occasion as Mrs. Lu's birthday banquet?"
"Why is Ning Anmiao staying with the eldest young master of the Zheng family for no reason?"
"Her dress is torn. It seems she's just been in a fierce fight..."
"She dares to cuckold the Lu family. It seems she's really tired of being Mrs. Lu..."
The malicious remarks around fell into Ning Anmiao's ears word for word.
She knew clearly that if she hadn't swapped bodies with Lu Yan, the person being condemned now would be herself.
Ning Anmiao suddenly smiled.
Just then, Mrs. Lu walked into the room surrounded by a crowd. Seeing Ning Anmiao fainting pale - faced and Zheng Xing beaten beyond recognition, she seemed to understand something immediately.
Mrs. Lu's face instantly changed. Her chest heaved violently. Pointing at Ning Anmiao, who was disheveled and fainted on one side, she stammered. "What... what are you two doing!"
When Mrs. Lu caught sight of Lu Yan, in less than a second, she immediately grabbed his arm and started crying and wailing. "Lu Yan, look at the good wife you've found!"
"Our Lu family has never treated her badly in these years. We've provided her with good food and clothing, but she actually has an affair with an outsider behind your back. She's disgracing the Lu family!"
As she spoke, tears welled up in her old eyes. She looked disappointed. "There are so many people here today. This woman has shamed our Lu family!"
At this time, Jiang Qiwei quickly pushed through the crowd and rushed to Mrs. Lu's side. She held Mrs. Lu, who was sobbing uncontrollably, and said gently to comfort her. "Aunt Lu, don't be in a hurry. Maybe there's some misunderstanding."
"What misunderstanding can there be!" Mrs. Lu was so anxious that her voice cracked. "These two sneaked into this high attic. What else could they do except something shameful!"
"Please calm down first. Let's talk it out properly..."
These two were really playing good - cop, bad - cop.
With such a good division of labor, they worked quite efficiently.
Ning Anmiao lowered her eyes and hooked her lips in a mysterious way. A thought flashed through her mind, and a cold glint appeared in her eyes.
Jiang Qiwei dared to plot against "Ning Anmiao" so boldly in the Lu Mansion. There must be someone backing her up.
Obviously, this person was Mrs. Lu.
No wonder Mrs. Lu was able to force "Ning Anmiao" into such a situation.
As Mrs. Lu made such a scene, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Everyone held their breath, waiting for "Lu Yan"'s reaction.
Facing everyone's speculation, "Lu Yan" remained calm, with no fluctuation in his tone. "Mother, Miaomiao is not feeling well. I'll take her home first. We'll talk about the rest later."
She knew very well that it was useless to reason with these people.
If you want to frame someone, you can always find an excuse!
Seeing that "Lu Yan" was about to leave, Mrs. Lu was stunned. She even forgot to fake - cry. She quickly blocked his way, looking nervous. "Are you out of your mind with anger?"
"Aren't you going to pursue this big matter?"
Mrs. Lu almost couldn't react. She suspected that her son had lost his mind.
They had clearly caught evidence of a man and a woman alone in a room. He was wearing the cuckold's hat, yet he still looked so indifferent.
"Lu Yan" didn't intend to pay any attention to Mrs. Lu. He walked over and picked up the unconscious "Ning Anmiao". "Mom, compared to pursuing the so - called truth, Miaomiao's health is more important."
He noticed that "Ning Anmiao" had kept his eyes tightly closed and his hands tightly clenched. He seemed to be in a very bad condition.
The most urgent thing was to take him away from here immediately.
Mrs. Lu panicked instantly and wanted to call out to "Lu Yan", but the latter had already averted his eyes and carried "Ning Anmiao" quickly out of the room.
Seeing this, the people outside immediately made way.
Before, people in the circle knew that Lu Yan had a secret marriage. They thought he didn't care about this marriage. But just now, seeing the way he protected "Ning Anmiao", it was obvious that he cared about his wife.
Everyone got the hint and stopped gossiping.
What if the truth was not what the rumors said, and in fact, Lu Yan doted on his wife? They would all be in for a shock then.
...
After taking Lu Yan away, Ning Anmiao threw the unconscious him into the car. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and then got into the car too.
"Drive."
