Instigated by Guyu, the man felt as uneasy as a cat scratching his heart. He sneaked into the bedroom and held his breath, only to see a person lying quietly on the bed.

With the faint light, he mistakenly thought it was Tan Zhixu, but in fact it was Tan Xiaoyao who had just woken up from a dream and was still half asleep.

His heartbeat was beating like a drum, and he pounced on the person on the bed without hesitation.

Tan Xiaoyao, who had his back to the door, felt a strong movement in the mist. He was about to struggle to resist, but the man covered his mouth with lightning speed.

Her eyes showed endless fear and helplessness, tears welled up in her eyes, but she could not make any sound.

While tearing Tan Xiaoyao's clothes roughly, the man gasped and expressed the evil thoughts in his heart: "I have been coveting Tan Zhixu's seductive figure for a long time, and today I finally get what I want."

The words were also mixed with a few morbid laughter and the so-called "gratitude" to Tan Xiaoyao.

At this moment, Tan Xiaoyao's tears could no longer be suppressed and fell silently down her cheeks. Her heart was filled with despair and grief.

The man slowly laid down on the bed in tired satisfaction. However, when he lowered his head to look at the bed, he was caught by an extremely cold gaze.

What came into view was Tan Xiaoyao's face that was full of cold light. Her skin glowed with a cold luster under the weak candlelight, which was completely different from the gentle and charming posture just now.

He instantly realized that the person he had been romantically involved with just now was not his beloved Tan Zhixu, but his cousin Tan Xiaoyao.

The man's heart felt as if he had been hit by a huge boulder. He was so surprised that he could not speak. His body also lost support and stumbled backwards, finally sitting on the ground helplessly.

"Tan Xiaoyao?"

"Why, why is it you? Didn't you say Tan Zhixu is here?"

"why are you?"

His eyes were full of confusion, panic and endless self-blame, and the complex emotions were intertwined to form an indescribable pain.

But at this time, Tan Zhixu was no better.

She also wanted to know. It was clear that the person she arranged would take her cousin to find Tan Zhixu, but why did he appear in her room.

why?
At this moment, Aunt Shen's familiar voice came from outside the door. The voice contained a deliberately low level of nervousness and urgency. It was obvious that she had come to catch an adulterer in accordance with the plan she had agreed with Tan Xiaoyao in advance.

The man's heart tightened. He knew that at this moment, this chaotic situation woven by misunderstandings and mistakes was about to completely erupt.

Aunt Shen's figure loomed in the crack of the door. She saw the faint firelight in the room dancing on her face, reflecting an expression of both anticipation and nervousness.

Tan Xiaoyao, on the other hand, still maintained her cold and arrogant attitude, with determination and perseverance shining in her eyes, as if everything was under her control.

The whole room is immersed in a depressing and subtle atmosphere. The air is filled with the musky smell after a man and a woman's love affair and the calm before the coming huge storm. It makes people shudder and makes people full of expectations for the next development of the story.

"Zhixu, how could you act like this? Have you ever thought that now you are the second wife of the Hou Mansion, and your every word and deed represents the face of the Hou Mansion!"

Aunt Shen's anger was palpable, and she pushed open the door. She originally expected to see Tan Zhixu, but she never expected that it was Tan Xiaoyao and her nephew who came into view.

Aunt Shen instantly understood the situation between the two of them, especially when she saw Tan Xiaoyao's slightly flustered and shy expression, and then compared with the embarrassment and nervousness on the man's face, everything was obvious. The atmosphere in the room was subtle and awkward. The candlelight flickered, reflecting on Tan Xiaoyao's pale face. There was unconcealable worry hidden in her lowered eyes.

The man seemed a little at a loss. His eyes drifted away from time to time, as if he didn't dare to look directly at Aunt Shen's reproachful gaze.

"Cousin, I, I..."

Aunt Shen had mixed feelings in her heart, and was about to ask the maid to block the door to prevent the matter from spreading. However, at this moment, she only heard a steady sound of footsteps outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, Tan Zhixu, Zhou and others arrived at the door.

Aunt Shen paused, a trace of panic flashed across her face, then she regained her composure and pretended to be questioning, "Why are you here?"

"Aunt Shen, what's going on?"

There was a tense atmosphere in the air, as if even the air had solidified. Everyone focused their attention on the upcoming conflict, waiting for Aunt Shen's answer. A contest involving the dignity and secrets of the Hou Mansion began. prelude.

Everyone present looked at each other, confusion and shock mixed in their eyes.

Aunt Shen's face instantly turned as pale as a cold plum in the snow, with a hint of embarrassment in her paleness. Her shrewd eyes could not conceal her inner panic and anger at this moment.

Tan Zhixu, on the other hand, stood aside calmly, but he was laughing wildly in his heart, just like there was a hidden turmoil under the calm surface of the lake.

She had already understood the deliberate plans of Tan Xiaoyao, Zhou and Aunt Shen, so she decided to use their plan. However, she did not expect that Aunt Shen's nephew would be so impulsive and directly raped Tan Xiaoyao. This undoubtedly made the development of the matter even more dramatic. change.

Now, everyone in the Hou family is here, witnessing with their own eyes the affair between Tan Xiaoyao, the daughter of a concubine of the Tan family, and her cousin in broad daylight. This has undoubtedly brought great humiliation and embarrassment to the Tan family.

The air seemed to be frozen, and everyone's gazes were like needles piercing Aunt Shen, leaving her nowhere to hide.

Although her heart was filled with anger, she knew that the matter was over, so she could only force a smile, forced out an awkward smile, and explained: "This is just a misunderstanding, please don't think too much about it."

However, although her voice pretended to be calm, it could not hide the trembling in it. People could hear the suppressed pain and helplessness in her words.

There was a suffocating tension in the entire bedroom. This sudden change undoubtedly added a bit of haze and twists and turns to this aristocratic family.

But the people in the Hou Mansion, especially the Zhou family, turned a deaf ear to this so-called misunderstanding.

Seeing that Tan Xiaoyao failed to overthrow Tan Zhixu, instead of showing any sympathy or understanding, she took the opportunity to criticize him harshly like a hawk watching a wolf.

"Sure enough, he was born in a small family, but to do such a despicable thing is really shameful."

Mrs. Zhou clicked her tongue and scolded Tan Xiaoyao between her brows and eyes.

Tan Xiaoyao, who was already in a trance, heard resentment in his eyes when he heard Zhou's words.

It was clear that she and the Zhou family conspired to do this, but why did it become like this now?
