The incident occurred the day after Zhao Hongyan left. Li Chengzhi, as usual, sneaked into Lin Siyu’s room to seek pleasure, and Lin Siyu was exceptionally passionate today, repeatedly demanding more without restraint.

Suddenly, she felt the man lying on top of her go still.

Growing impatient, Lin Siyu patted the person on her, "Hey, what’s wrong with you? Speak up!"

With a bit more force, Li Chengzhi toppled onto the bed, beside her hand, completely motionless, his body stiffening.

Only then did Lin Siyu realize something was amiss. She quickly got up and started patting his now pallid face, "Li Chengzhi, Li Chengzhi! Wake up, wake up!"

But the more she patted, the stiffer Li Chengzhi’s response became, his lips slowly turning white as well.

Alarmed, Lin Siyu tremblingly brought her fingers under his nose to check, thankfully there was still breath!

"Panpan! Quick, go call for the doctor..."

As soon as she spoke, Lin Siyu smacked herself hard. The son of Li Mansion, lying unconscious and naked on his father’s little concubine’s bed—if this got out, would she still have a way to live?

No, she had to move him out first!

"Panpan, quickly come in and help!"

After hurriedly calling out, Lin Siyu grabbed a piece of clothing to throw on herself and started dressing Li Chengzhi.

However, Li Chengzhi was a large man who had fainted, and she simply couldn’t move him by herself. Panpan, that wretched girl, was nowhere to be found after playing around somewhere, not coming to help despite her calling for so long.

Lin Siyu was both angry and anxious. She covered Li Chengzhi with his clothes and was about to go out to call Panpan when the door was violently kicked open.

A gorgeous young woman barged in, hands on hips and rolling her eyes in disapproval.

"Hmph, what can’t I come in for? In broad daylight, could your maternal aunt possibly be hiding a man in here? Ah! Men’s shoes? So there really is a man!"

The one who entered was none other than Hong Yan, Li Chang’s little concubine whom he doted on the most currently.

She had noticed Panpan acting somewhat flustered, and following her led to this unexpected discovery.

From the initial shock on her face, Hong Yan’s expression turned into one of schadenfreude as she ordered her servant girls and maids with a wave of her handkerchief, "Quick, block the door, don’t let this adulterer escape!

And restrain that Panpan too! You, go inform Madam!

Tell her Maternal Aunt Lin is cavorting with a man in her room! "

After issuing orders with decisive efficiency, Hong Yan approached with a sneering laugh, "I want to see what sort of ravishing man has caught Maternal Aunt Lin’s eye."

How could Lin Siyu let her see that the man on the bed was Li Chengzhi?

After a moment of rigid hesitation, Lin Siyu yanked at Hong Yan, who was about to lift the bed curtain, and bit her hand!

"You slut!" Hong Yan cried out in pain, then grabbed Lin Siyu’s hair with one hand and shoved her aside.

Lin Siyu had just been intimately involved with Li Chengzhi, her body already weakened, no match for Hong Yan. Pushed by her, Lin Siyu stumbled and hit the foot of the bed, instantly raising a red swelling on her forehead.

Hong Yan spit viciously, her handprint clearly marked by bite marks, her anger not abating, she slapped Lin Siyu twice sharply across the face.

"You wretch! You don’t want me to see, do you? I will see who it is no matter what!"

With that, she gathered her strength and tore away the bed curtains in disarray, revealing the man underneath the thrown-over garment on the bed.

"Hmph, I want to see what man could make you... Ah?! The... the eldest son?"

The news reached Lady Jin in her quarters just as she was supervising her son practicing his calligraphy. After glancing at her son, Lady Jin stood up and went to the outer room, "Is it certain?"

Zi Yu nodded, "It’s certain, it was the eldest son. If not for Little Concubine Hong Yan noticing something odd about Panpan’s behavior, she wouldn’t have barged in and caught them in the act."

Lady Jin sneered, "All my time spent watching them hasn’t been in vain, they finally slipped up."

Zi Yu thought for a moment, then added, "Little Concubine Hong Yan has already sent someone to invite you. But, our people say, there seems to be something off with the eldest son. With all the commotion Hong Yan caused, he didn’t move at all, still lying on the bed. Could it be that..."

"What does it matter to me what happens to him?" Lady Jin pursed her lips, a pleased smile spreading, "I know Lingling has been drugging him every day. With all this ongoing strain, how could there not be consequences?"
