    Chapter 79

    As Ruan Xi’s words fell, the entire room fell silent. Everyone’s expressions subtly changed, and they remained silent, not expecting Ruan Xi to be so foolish.

    It would have been one thing if Ruan Tang’s status was low before, and another if Ruan Xi had repeatedly provoked him. But now, Ruan Tang was the head of the Ruan Family, and his status was worlds apart from Ruan Xi’s. Provoking Ruan Tang in such a setting, even if Ruan Tang really had an affair, what good would it do him?

    Did he consider the consequences of offending Ruan Tang? What price he would pay, and what the outcome would be?

    Everyone felt that Ruan Xi must be out of his mind.

    Auston didn’t expect this thing to say such things in public to slander Ruan Tang’s reputation. He was instantly furious, his face turning ashen, and he scolded, “What nonsense are you spouting?”

    He picked up a wine glass and threw it towards Ruan Xi.

    With a “bang,” the sound startled everyone present.

    “Guards, who let this lunatic in? Quickly drag him out! Lest he offend the Duke and his wife.” His anger immediately frightened those who were holding their breath and watching. They dared not remain silent any longer, and someone immediately stepped forward to mediate.

    As soon as someone spoke up, other nobles echoed, “Exactly, exactly. This Ruan Xi has long been crazy, spouting nonsense that can’t be taken seriously. Who doesn’t know he’s always been jealous of the Duke’s wife and slandered her reputation everywhere? Hurry and get him out, don’t spoil everyone’s fun.”

    Ruan Tang’s status was different now. He was a favorite of the Empress and the head of the Ruan Family. Even if he really had an affair, no one in Imperial Star would dare to watch the show.

    Everyone who heard Ruan Xi’s words wished they could pretend they hadn’t heard anything and quickly smooth things over.

    Only the organizer of the banquet, Countess Wengers, in this chaotic and awkward situation, still had the leisure to watch the anxious expressions of the crowd, wanting to see what tricks Ruan Xi could play.

    She had allowed Ruan Xi in with Ruan Tang’s arrangement and tacit approval. She wanted to see what the final outcome of this farce would be.

    Upon hearing this, the guards immediately stepped forward again.

    Ruan Xi looked at the flattering and protective ugliness of everyone present towards Ruan Tang, this white lotus. Thinking of Auston’s anger after Ruan Tang’s affair was confirmed, he immediately revealed a self-righteous, condescending attitude.

    Just as the guards grabbed his arm, Ruan Xi immediately used his halo to create a grand display, dodging the guards’ control with a speed that ordinary people couldn’t catch. He directly threw out his optical brain.

    In full view of everyone, he used the optical brain to project a video of Ruan Tang’s affair, which he had obtained through abnormal means.

    Although the video was short, it clearly showed how a drunken Ruan Tang threw himself into the arms of a handsome Alpha wearing a male servant’s uniform with a blemish on his face, passionately kissing him. The Alpha looked shocked but still yielded half-heartedly.

    Ruan Xi didn’t know how he had obtained the surveillance footage from Ruan Tang’s bedroom, and it was very clear.

    Everyone could clearly see through the projection how Ruan Tang’s cheeks were flushed with alcohol, and how he was seducing the male servant with amorous eyes.

    Everyone who saw this scene unconsciously held their breath, completely silent, wishing they could disappear from here immediately.

    They didn’t know why they had been involved in this matter…

    Witnessing the scene of Ruan Tang’s affair being exposed, these two were both high-ranking figures in Imperial Star. Some nobles of lower status even wondered if they would survive tomorrow after seeing this.

    And all this misfortune was caused by Ruan Xi, this unlucky bastard…

    Ruan Xi was completely unaware of what everyone was thinking. The moment the video was released, seeing everyone’s silent expressions, he immediately thought of the time when Ruan Tang had released the surveillance footage of him seducing Auston. He immediately felt a sense of elation.

    An eye for an eye, Ruan Tang had humiliated him like that in the beginning. He certainly didn’t expect that he would have such a day too.

    Through Ruan Xi’s live broadcast, everything that happened at the banquet was seen by those watching the hot search on the Interstellar Network.

    Those who had previously been marveling at the splendor of the noble banquet never expected this to happen. After being confused for a while, they were all shocked.

    What was going on?

    Were they witnessing the live exposure of Ruan Tang’s affair?

    “What’s happening? What is this plot development? Can someone tell me?”

    “Did Ruan Tang’s affair get caught and exposed on the spot by Ruan Xi? What shocking news is this?”

    “Can someone tell me, is this real? Is it real? Although I really like Ruan Tang’s face… but I really hate affairs.”

    “Although Duke Auston’s reputation is widely known, he is really good to his Omega and very responsible in marriage. Ruan Tang can be said to have risen to his position because of him. If he really has an affair with a male servant under his nose, it’s really too much.”

    “If Ruan Tang really has an affair, I’m sorry, I’m going to stand with Bluebeard this time.”

    Because of this explosive news, the entire Interstellar Network exploded. Everyone was extremely excited, calling their friends to watch this soap opera-like live scene.

    The Interstellar Network was in an uproar, but the banquet hall was so quiet that a pin dropping could be heard clearly.

    “Duke Auston, I think you must be very surprised and angry. You didn’t expect the Omega you cherish to be such a frivolous thing, daring to have an affair under your nose, right? With a male servant, tsk tsk tsk, and one with scars on his face. Ruan Tang, how did you manage to stomach that? Don’t tell me you have some special fetish for the disabled?” Ruan Xi’s face revealed a victor’s smile.

    He looked at Auston sarcastically, “Duke Auston, do you still dare to say that you know what kind of person your wife, whom you personally raised to the top, is?”

    Everyone who heard and saw all this, but whose status was not high, felt a burst of wailing deep in their hearts, their faces full of sorrow, feeling that their lives were over.

    They wanted to help Ruan Tang say something, but looking at the video that was obviously real, they had no way to defend him. Auston was a madman, but not a fool. It would be easy to find out whether the surveillance footage was real or fake. They were just afraid that this madman Auston would lose his temper; if they didn’t help Ruan Tang, they were afraid of offending Ruan Tang and being resented and blamed by him. They were simply caught in a dilemma, not pleasing anyone.

    Ruan Xi stared straight at Auston, just waiting to see him go crazy on the spot. It would be even better if he accidentally killed Ruan Tang.

    Then, he could seize all the halo that belonged to Ruan Tang.

    Who knew that Auston’s expression was calm, and he didn’t seem angry at all, answering firmly, “Of course I know.”

    Ruan Xi was just waiting for Auston to get angry, and was about to add fuel to the fire by saying something, but he didn’t expect Auston to react like this. He immediately widened his eyes in disbelief, speechless, “He…he betrayed you, and you still?”

    “What you know, I know. What you don’t know, I also know.” Auston looked at him coldly through his mask, “What else do you want to say?”

    Ruan Xi was speechless: “…”

    He didn’t expect this madman’s way of thinking to be so different from normal people.

    “Are you…are you crazy? He had an affair, and you don’t care at all? No, you’re a madman to begin with. You don’t even like him. Do you have some fetish for being cuckolded?” Ruan Xi took a long time to find his voice again, “Even if you don’t care, his affair during marriage violates the moral baseline and destroys the sanctity of marriage. His behavior should be condemned by everyone!”

    Upon hearing this, Auston suddenly smiled, and said with a smile, “He had an affair? I’m curious, what kind of affair did he have?”

    “He…he and that male servant were like that, isn’t that an affair?” Ruan Xi stammered.

    When formulating this plan, he had never thought that this kind of situation would occur.

    Auston looked coldly at everyone present, and directly took off his mask, “You should first see clearly who I am before accusing him of having an affair.”

    Auston took off his cold mask, revealing a handsome face with a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, and blue eyes, but with one-third of his skin covered in scars.

    Except for the gold of his hair being slightly different from the one in the surveillance video, he looked exactly like the bashful and honest male servant in the video…

    Ruan Xi immediately felt a burst of dizziness, completely dumbfounded. He looked at Auston’s face in disbelief, and screamed out, “This is impossible, how is it possible? How could this be? How could his affair partner be you?”

    And the other bystanders present, after seeing Auston’s face, although they didn’t know what tricks their husband and wife were playing, or why Auston would wear a male servant’s uniform and act in a completely different way from usual to be intimate with Ruan Tang, they all breathed a sigh of relief in unison. They immediately felt that Ruan Xi was even more stupid.

    They put their hearts back in their stomachs, and everyone watched Ruan Xi’s good show with a look of contempt.

    Ruan Tang looked at Auston, his eyes immediately warming up, and he softly called out, “My lord…”

    He knew that no matter what, Auston would always be that Bluebeard Duke who would stand up without hesitation to protect him, defend him, and put him first in everything when he encountered trouble.

    He didn’t believe that Auston didn’t like him.

    Auston didn’t look at him, but looked at Ruan Xi.

    “Why is it impossible? Do we need your permission for our husband and wife to play privately?” Auston smiled, but his lips were cold, “However, I’m curious how you got the surveillance footage from my wife’s room. Your behavior should be considered a violation of our husband and wife’s personal privacy, right?”

    Being questioned by Auston like this, Ruan Xi suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and a burst of dizziness.

    And the others on the Interstellar Network who saw this ups and downs of the plot became even happier eating melons. They only felt like they had been stuffed with a mouthful of dog food, “I thought it was a live scene of an affair being caught, but I didn’t expect it to develop into this kind of love-showing plot in the end. Husband and wife playing with Interesting, I simply feel like I’ve been stuffed with a mouthful of dog food!”

    “The Duke’s wife is having an affair with a male servant. Is this a moral decline, or the extinction of humanity! Role-playing, I simply can’t take it anymore.”

    “The couple is in love, what does role-playing have to do with you, you Elf?”

    “This Ruan Xi is stupid, it’s simply creating trouble for nothing, and not just once or twice. I simply suspect that his mental state is not very normal.”

    “Forget it, I don’t want to dwell on this idiot anymore. I just want to say that Duke Auston’s appearance after taking off his mask is very different from what I imagined. Although there are scars on his face, the overall features are actually very handsome.”

    “For some reason, I feel that this couple has a bit of true love. For some reason, they match each other. Do they play so well in private? Hahaha~”

    “Am I the only one who thinks that Bluebeard’s appearance in defending his wife is Explosive? That Ruan Xi is simply a clown.”

    Ruan Xi looked at everything that was happening in front of him, and felt a splitting headache. His face turned pale, and he fell to the ground in panic, actually vomiting a mouthful of blood.

    “Guards, please send this person to the Interstellar Public Security Bureau. I want to accuse him of illegally obtaining other people’s privacy. Let the people from the Public Security Bureau investigate him thoroughly.” Auston didn’t even look at him, and directly instructed the guards beside him.

    The conscientious guards immediately stepped forward and dragged away Ruan Xi, who was lying on the ground, inexplicably fainted.

    Everyone looked at Ruan Xi’s miserable state, but no one sympathized with him. They all felt that he was faking it. No one had touched him this time, and he had already started pretending to be dead.

    Seeing that he was so loved by Ruan Ming, and attracted so many Alpha admirations, they thought he was a smart person, but they didn’t expect him to be a pure idiot.

    “This psychopath is really disturbing. I really don’t know how he got the surveillance footage from the Duke’s mansion. Duke, Chairman Ruan, you have to investigate carefully.” As soon as Ruan Xi was dragged away, the banquet immediately continued as usual. Someone immediately stepped forward to inquire about Ruan Tang.

    Although having the Husband and husband’s interestexposed was also embarrassing, it was better than having an affair…

    Some people even stepped forward to tease Ruan Tang, “Duke and Chairman Ruan are really loving. But the supervision in the mansion should still be stricter. This time, Ruan Xi and his ilk only got the two’s Interesting surveillance footage and made such a fuss. What if they get something else next time? You have to be careful when you go back and supervise strictly.”

    Ruan Tang was calm and composed, as if nothing had happened. He smiled and exchanged pleasantries with them, “Definitely, definitely. I will definitely thoroughly investigate the mansion when I go back to find out where the surveillance footage was leaked from.”
