Mdm Yu did not stay in Old Madam Qin’s room for long and went to the kitchen to see how the soup was. She did not dare to make any more trouble after Old Madam Qin reminded her. After leaving the kitchen, she stood at the intersection and thought for a while. She did not go to see Qin Yufeng and went straight back to her courtyard.
An older female servant was standing in circles in the yard anxiously. When she saw Mdm Yu coming over, she smiled and came up to her. “Madam…”
Before she finished speaking, Mdm Yu glared at her coldly and walked inside. The maidservant beside her smartly motioned the older maidservant to follow.
In the room, Mdm Yu sat down, and the maidservant made tea. She took a sip and touched her head. She really had a headache. It was true that she didn’t sleep well last night. But it didn’t because of her son, but because of the letter she suddenly got yesterday. Her niece, Yu Sirong, died in King Chu’s Manor and was thrown into a mass grave.
When they were in Cloud City, Yu Sirong spent most of her year in the Qin Manor because she had a crush on Qin Yuxuan. Mdm Yu did not have a daughter, so she really treated Yu Sirong as her own daughter. How could she not have feelings for her after so many years? In the past, she had joined forces with Mdm Chen and Yu Sirong to plot against Mo Xuetong because she wanted Yu Sirong to become the daughter-in-law of the Qin family.
Unexpectedly, Mo Xuetong wasn’t hurt, and instead, Yu Sirong’s face was disfigured and her reputation was ruined. Then, Yu Sirong was forced to go to the temple. From then on, they were enemies of Mo Xuetong. At the thought of this, Mdm Yu wanted to ruin Mo Xuetong to avenge Yu Sirong. However, after that matter, Mo Xuetong rarely came to the Qin Manor. Even though she came, Old Madam Qin would ask her to stay in her courtyard. She would not have a chance to hurt her even if she wanted to.
However, what happened after that also frightened Mdm Yu, and she did not dare to do anything to Mo Xuetong.
Her niece Mo Xuemin had always been a smart girl. In the end, she had not only lost her reputation, but also been chased out of the Mo Manor. The intelligent Auntie Fang had even implicated the Yu Manor and caused people to think that girls of the Yu family were all vicious. However, the most unexpected was that, without the help of her own mother, Mo Xuetong still married into the royal family, and became the popular King Xuan’s wife.
That day at Old Madam Qin’s birthday banquet, Mdm Yu had no choice but to pay her respects to Mo Xuetong. Only then did she realize the difference in her and Mo Xuetong’s status. The woman in front of her was no longer the girl who had been controlled and bullied by her servants in Cloud City. She was now the high and mighty Consort Xuan, the daughter-in-law of the royal family. It would be a daydream if she wanted to avenge her niece and her younger sister.
This was not a competition of strength, and Mdm Yu was sensible of it.
However, to her surprise, two months ago, Yu Sirong secretly sent the older maidservant who was standing before her to see her. At that time, she could not believe it and hurried to the back door. When she saw Yu Sirong’s recovered face, she was so excited that she burst into tears. Different from Mo Xuemin, Yu Sirong had been around her since she was a child. How could she not be happy when seeing that she was fine?
However, unexpectedly, Yu Sirong clenched her teeth and said that she wanted to seek revenge on Mo Xuetong. Mdm Yu was shocked and hurriedly tried to persuade her. She told Yu Sirong Mo Xuetong’s current status and said that she would only be dead if she were to fight with Mo Xuetong. How could she be able to hit a rock with an egg? However, Yu Sirong did not listen to her advice at all and still insisted. She only said that Mdm Yu should collect more information about Mo Xuetong, and she would come to get it in a few days. She also asked Mdm Yu to keep it a secret for her, and even not to tell Yu Feng and his wife that she had returned.
Then, Yu Sirong visited Mdm Yu every few days. Mdm Yu asked where she lived, but she did not tell her. There was a time when she tricked the older maidservant into staying, and learned that her niece had sold herself to Ding General Manor and entered King Chu’s Manor with Ling Rui’er. She was a noble young lady, but she sold herself and became a servant. Mdm Yu was so angry she almost rushed to King Chu’s Manor when she heard that.
Then, she said angrily that she would not care about Yu Sirong anymore. However, Yu Sirong still came to her every few days. Sometimes, she would ask Mdm Yu for information about Mo Xuetong, and sometimes, she would ask Mdm Yu for some money. Mdm Yu saw that she was so stubborn and had no choice but to give her some money secretly. At least, she would not be bullied in King Chu’s Manor.
However, the older maidservant ran over hurriedly last night and said that something had happened to Yu Sirong. She had been killed by King Chu because of Consort Xuan and thrown into a mass grave after her death. There was not even a person to collect her body. Mdm Yu was stunned when she heard that Yu Sirong was dead and almost fainted. So she could not sleep at night.
She was now thinking about how good and adorable Yu Sirong was. Mdm Yu remembered every detail of her growth in her heart from a child to a beautiful young lady. Mdm Yu felt heartbroken. Yu Sirong had lost her reputation and her face was disfigured because of Mo Xuetong and now had lost her life because of Mo Xuetong. Mdm Yu hated Mo Xuetong so much that she almost wanted to eat her alive.
An idea had been running through her mind, “No, I can’t let Si Rong die in vain. I must avenge her!”
That night, she sent the older maidservant out and gave her some money, asking her to collect Yu Sirong’s body and buy a good coffin to bury her.
“How is it going?” At this time, she sat down and asked with a dark face.
“Madam, I went there too late. Miss’s body has been, has been bitten by wild dogs and… It has been scattered.” The older maidservant knelt down with a plop and cried.
Madam Yu’s body shook and she almost fell to the ground. She gritted her teeth and said hatefully, “Shut up. Do you want everyone to know about this?”
“Yes, Madam, I…” The older maidservant knelt on the ground and wiped her tears. “I gathered those remains and asked someone to find a place to bury them.”
Mdm Yu nodded and clenched her fists. “Has anyone seen you?”
“No. When I heard the news, it was already late. Then I came here to report the news. When I went out to look for the body, it was almost midnight. There was no one there.” As she thought of how horrible the mass grave was last night, the older maidservant’s face became pale and her teeth chattered.
“Since you’ve buried your mistress, that’s all!” Mdm Yu held her head tiredly. Old Madam Qin’s warning was still ringing in her ears. First, she had to be the daughter-in-law of the Qin Manor, and then she was the daughter of the Yu Manor. She had not only a niece, but also her own sons. She could not bring trouble to the Qin Manor for her niece.
“Madam, what?” The older maidservant suddenly raised her tearful face and asked, “Madam, didn’t you say that you would avenge Miss? How could you go back on your words!”
That was what Mdm Yu said last night when she was angry.
“Go back on my words? What should I do? Can our Qin Manor deal with King Xuan’s Manor? Or our Qin Manor is more favored by the Emperor than King Xuan. No matter how powerful the Qin Manor is, we are still the royal family’s official. How dare an official deal with a prince and his legal wife? Are you wanting our Qin Manor to be punished?”
Mdm Yu pounded the table angrily. She pointed at the older maidservant and rebuked her angrily, venting all her anger on the older maidservant. She felt that if she had not told her, she would not have been in such a panic. If this matter came to light, it would be a big deal. Qin Zheng had always been an upright official. If he knew that it had something to do with her, he would divorce her.
Mdm Yu was really afraid that someone would make a big deal out of this, but the older maidservant seemed to want to make it as big as possible.
“Madam, Miss has always been raised by you and treated you as her own mother. After she returned this time, she had never gone back to the Yu Manor, but had come to visit you more than once. Madam, don’t you have any compassion for her? Are you just going to watch our mistress die in vain? They claimed that she had slept with a manservant, but Madam, is our mistress a shameless person?”
Finding that what she said didn’t work, the older maidservant immediately covered her face and burst into tears, and kept kowtowing to apologize!
Mdm Yu thought of the adorable girl and could not help but wear a sad look as the older maidservant said pathetically. Tears welled up in her eyes and she wiped them from the corners of her eyes dazedly. Then she gritted her teeth and asked, “Do you have any evidence?”
“No, but I heard that King Chu had a different feeling for Mo Xuetong. If we are going to do something from this, it will ruin her reputation as well.” The older maidservant raised her red and swollen eyes and said resentfully.
Did Mo Xuetong have an affair with King Chu, Feng Yuxuan?
Mdm Yu was shocked and widened her eyes in disbelief. She felt a chill in her heart. This was a private matter of the royal family. No one could bring it up as if nothing had happened. But who dared to mention it? No one could bear the responsibility.
“Do, do you have any evidence?” This kind of thing could not be said casually. Mdm Yu trembled and her face paled. She stared at the older maidservant, lowered her voice, and asked word by word. Her trusted maidservant had already gone out to guard the door to stop others coming in.
“Yes, Miss told me that there was evidence of King Chu and Consort Xuan having an affair under the floor in the place where she slept. I can go there secretly. I will go back to the manor later and send it to Madam when I get it. Madam, please hand the things over to avenge Miss.”
The older maidservant wiped her tears and said in a hurry.
There was indeed evidence. Mdm Yu could not help shuddering upon hearing that. A hint of fear appeared in her eyes. She heard herself gritting her teeth with difficulty and saying, “Alright, go back to King Chu’s Manor and find a suitable time to give it to me when you get it. Don’t act rashly lest others should be suspicious and you might die.”
It was not only for the older maidservant but also for herself. Their enemy was King Chu’s Manor and King Xuan’s Manor, the two princes’ house. At this time, Mdm Yu’s heart was in a mess, and she couldn’t help but break out cold sweat on her forehead. If she could not do it well, the whole Qin Manor would be buried with her. How could she dare to fight against them so easily?
Now, she had to stabilize the old maidservant first, and she would act according to the situation. Although Mdm Yu was a married woman who had always lived in the manor, she also knew that King Chu and King Xuan were both influential princes at this time. How could she, a woman like a weak egg, dare to really hit them? When she got the evidence left by Yu Sirong, she had to read it clearly, think it clearly, and confirm that the matter was absolutely true and that it would not harm the Qin Manor before she spread it.
No matter what, she could not panic. She must make a decision and then move. Mdm Yu told herself over and over again that she still had her own sons, and that she was the daughter-in-law of the Qin family. After sending the old maidservant away, she sat alone in the room for a long time before she calmed down again. She would never do anything unless there was no irrefutable evidence!
She indeed hated Mo Xuetong. She was angry that Yu Sirong had been killed by her. However, she would not bet the entire Qin family. No matter what happened next, the Qin Manor had to stay out of it.
