Madam Chu specifically came to see Chu Meng’s embarrassment.

Since Gong Yuanchun became the Young Marshal’s Wife, her close friend Chu Meng’s status in the Chu Family has risen significantly. Mr. Chu dotes on her, fulfilling her every request, and sometimes even allows this concubine-born daughter to have precedence over her, his legitimate wife. This is all because Gong Yuanchun helped connect the Chu Family with the Marshal Mansion, expanding their business in Haidu considerably.

So, in Mr. Chu’s eyes, Chu Meng is a great contributor to the Chu Family.

But in Madam Chu’s eyes, Chu Meng is just using the Young Marshal’s Wife’s influence to flaunt her power in the Chu Family, acting arrogantly and taking advantage of her success.

Madam Chu gave birth to two sons, no daughters. The two young women in the Chu Family were born to Mr. Chu’s concubines. A few years ago, Miss Chu was married off, leaving only the second young lady, Chu Meng, unmarried at home.

In Madam Chu’s mind, all the Chu Family’s property belongs to her two sons, and every dollar spent by this concubine-born daughter, Chu Meng, is her sons’ money.

Since Chu Meng’s status at home improved, her monthly allowance increased several times, which made Madam Chu dissatisfied. But with Mr. Chu’s protection, and the Young Marshal’s Wife as a backing, Madam Chu couldn’t do anything about it.

She could only sulk privately.

But Madam Chu has been resentful toward Chu Meng for a long time.

Just now, listening to the Young Marshal’s Wife’s soldier say that Chu Meng and Bai Yuechen had done something disgraceful in a private room at the Hundred Flavors House, Mr. Chu was so angry that he smashed a teapot, while she was excited enough to want to set off firecrackers.

This little wench finally got caught. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

She excitedly prepared a carriage and came rushing over.

"Mengmeng, where is Mengmeng?"

When Madam Chu reached the second floor, she called out loudly, as if afraid that people out on the street in front of Hundred Flavors House couldn’t hear.

Yuan Chun twitched her lips, looking troubled, "Madam Chu, over here, Chu Meng and Bai Yuechen are in the room, still... doing whatever. We couldn’t just go in and interrupt."

"Hello, Young Marshal’s Wife, it’s all because Mengmeng is shameless, staining the Young Marshal’s Wife’s eyes. I’ll take her back right now."

Madam Chu specifically brought two servants.

She motioned to the two servants with a look, and they rushed into the room, unceremoniously separating the two people, hastily throwing clothes over them, and tying them up tightly, then dragging them out.

Madam Chu stepped forward, gave Chu Meng several harsh slaps, and scolded, "Shameless little wench, just like your mother, only knows how to seduce men. You’ve disgraced the Chu Family."

After all, it was a family scandal. Madam Chu didn’t want to linger too long. After some scolding, she apologized to Xiang Yuanchun and then left the Hundred Flavors House with a grand entourage.

By afternoon, this incident was being talked about everywhere.

Almost half of Haidu’s people knew about it.

The next day, the scandal was published in the newspapers, and suddenly, Chu Meng became a celebrity. This once glamorous young lady became synonymous with disgrace and shamelessness.

Bai Yuechen, the once elegant returning student, also became a notorious playboy.

Overnight, both names were tainted.

Yuan Chun was delighted, reading the newspaper twice, with her lips curling into a smile that nearly reached the sky.

Madam Ling smiled and asked, "Chunchun, what news has made you so happy?"

Yuan Chun handed the newspaper to her mother-in-law and said, "It’s about Chu Meng and Bai Yuechen’s scandal making the news, Mother, look at this. I wonder who was so kind-hearted to help Chu Meng and Bai Yuechen by making their affair public. Now, the Chu Family can’t even refuse Bai Yuechen as their son-in-law."
