At these words, everyone present was shocked!
Everyone knew the family rules of Duke Li Guo's residence were strict, with the younger generation in the mansion strictly forbidden to take concubines, have informal liaisons, or secondary wives. Today, by publicly admitting this, Wang Cai essentially pushed Young Master Li to the forefront of scandal, and even if he saved the girl, Young Master Li would definitely be punished for the leak!
Wang Cai had no choice but to speak out, seeing that Aunt Bi's foot was about to come down—if the delicate Miss Du were injured under Aunt Bi's foot, the master would definitely charge him with failing to protect her, making his crime even greater!
Choosing the lesser of two evils, no matter what, as long as Miss Du was saved, the master would not be too harsh on him.
