~ ELDEST MADAM LOST A LOT OF WORDS ~

Shen Binghuai turned to look at Su Wenyuan, “Lord Su, even if she is maidservant, you shouldn’t be so harsh on them, right?”

Su Wenyuan was furious. He had always promoted his generosity and kindness, and the Su family also had a reputation for being good at it. If today’s matter was spread out, the Su family’s hard work would be destroyed entirely.

“This …” The Eldest Madam locked her eyebrows, and her sharp gaze shot towards Mu Yunyao like a knife or arrow. She was the one who did it! All of this was definitely her fault!

Shen Binghuai looked at Yun Chun: “Yun Chun, answer honestly. What happened to the injuries on your body?”

“Reporting to the Lord, this servant came from Jingling City to see Young Miss in the Su family’s residence with the purpose to send Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo profit. After arriving at the Su family’s residence, I found out that Young Miss hadn’t returned from Baohua Temple. The Eldest Madam saw me and told me to pass the banknotes to her for safekeeping. After that, the Eldest Madam said she wanted this servant to stay in residence for a few days. So when Young Miss came back from Baohua Temple, she could meet her. This servant then follows Qi Mama to settle down, but I never thought that Qi Mama would order someone tie this servant up and beat her?”

“Why she beat you?”

“This servant doesn’t know. However, Qi Mama said that Young Miss was obstructing the Eldest Madam’s eyes. Fortunately, Jin Lan and Jin Qiao found out that I had come to the Su family and stealthily followed Qi Mama. Unexpectedly, they were found out by Qi Mama and the rest, and even they had to tie them up as well. Fortunately, I know some martial art and fight to the death to help the two of them escaped and reported the case to Shuntian Manor....”

Su Wenyuan said coldly, “Bullsh*t! If you did not make a mistake, why would Madam punish you? There are also the two girls, Jin Lan and Jin Qiao. If the Su family really intended to stop them, how could these two weak girls escape out of the residence?”

Mu Yunyao raised her head to look at Su Wenyuan with a sorrowful expression on her face, “Eldest Uncle, under normal circumstances, Jin Lan and Jin Qiao won’t have the chance to escape. But at this moment, the guards were all sent to the East Courtyard by Eldest Aunt. So under the guard’s negligence, it wouldn’t be that hard for them to escape. What I am concerned about now is why Eldest Aunt had my servants punished. Furthermore, judging from the viciousness of this attack, it seems like she wanted to take their lives....”

“Yunyao, your aunt only wants to discipline you a little and let you understand the rules of the Capital. You can no longer act as you would before, and you shouldn’t waste your Eldest Aunt’s hard work.”

Mu Yunyao gave a cold laugh, “Hard work? Did Eldest Aunt also usually teach Elder Sister Yuyi how to behave like this? Although I am not of high background, I am not stupid. Now that things were linked together, even a fool could understand what was going on. I didn’t hurt Elder Sister Yuyi at all, but Elder Sister Yuyi and Qi Mama testified that I had broken her arm and set the charges straight away. After that, when I returned home, I didn’t even have the time to change my clothes before, but Eldest Auntsent someone to take me here directly and ordered me to be tied up without any reason or right or wrong. If it wasn’t for Lord Shen didn’t come in time, I’m afraid that Mother and I will end up in a worse state than Yun Chun. If this is a hard work, please forgive me for not being able to bear it!”

“Mu Yunyao, you’re still so stubborn even at a time like this. It’s clear that you were the one who broke Yuyi’s arm.”

“Eldest Aunt said it was me. Do you have any evidence?”

“Qi Mama is a witness!”

Mu Yunyao’s smile became more and more mocking as she slightly raised her voice. “According to Eldest Aunt’s words, I also could said that you wanted to kill me and swallow the silver earned by Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo alone!”

“Don’t speak nonsense!” The Eldest Madam suddenly answered with quivering eyes.”

“Why do I feel that Eldest Aunt is feeling very guilty right now? The reason why you imprisoned Yun Chun, gave me such a bad reputation, and wanted to kill Mother and me was to seize the property in my hands? Or could it be that calling us back here from the very beginning was a complete and thorough conspiracy?”

“You … You are just bull**. I am a dignified bookkeeper. How could I fancy the small amount of money in your hands?”

Yun Chun angrily interrupted, “I’ve sent a total of two hundred thousand taels of silver to Young Miss. It’s not a small sum....”

Two hundred thousand taels?

Su Wenyuan turned around and looked at the Eldest Madam, and his heart tightened. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Eldest Madam had complained to him that the income in the house had decreased, and he was already having trouble making ends meet. Could it be that the Eldest Madam really wants that two hundred thousand taels of silver? That was why she acted so viciously. Shee would rather cause such a commotion, so she could kill Mu Yunyao in one move?

However, at this time, there was no time to ponder carefully over the problem. The first thing had to do was to clear the suspicion of the Su family.

He looked at Mu Yunyao with a heartbroken expression, “Yunyao, you and your mother have been living in the outside world for many years. Whether it’s your grandmother or me or your Eldest Aunt, the Su family has always treated you like family. I don’t know why you have such extreme thoughts. It really breaks Eldest Uncle’s heart.”

At this moment, an official from Shuntian Manor rushed over and hurriedly reported when he saw Shen Binghuai, “Lord Shen, that Wang Zhu in the cell is making a ruckus again. He said that his mother and that Liu Mama must have been killed.”

“What evidence does he have?”

“Wang Zhu said that his mother had once boasted that she had a good grasp of power with the stick and that she could use it to beat people to cripple people in three or two strokes. He also said that she had dealt with several maids in this way. Two of them were from the Su family’s East Courtyard, and she said that those two maids had impure minds and wanted to seduce the Su family’s Eldest Young Master with their looks. After being ordered to punish them with the stick, they were driven out of the house. Wang Zhu’s mother and Liu Mama beat them up in turns with each other. After they were beaten down, it seemed that they were all right. However, they were actually destroyed inside their body. They might get pregnant again and have children in their whole life….”

The Eldest Madam’s face turned pale. At this moment, she suddenly had a feeling that she was at a loss for words.

Su Wenyuan’s expression was also not good. He did not think that Mu Yunyao would actually stir up the Su family upside down, “Lord Shen, that Wang Zhu is such a rascal. He usually eating, drinking, whoring and gambling like a hoodlum. He also does not work properly, and does all sorts of things. What such a person says is unbelievable.”

Mu Yunyao’s face suddenly turned pale, and her body swayed uncontrollably. Si Qin and Si Qi, who were by her side, hurriedly went forward to support her, “Miss, are you alright?”

Jin Lan suddenly cried out, “That Wang Mama and Liu Mama have also hit our Young Miss with the stick, Young Miss’s body....” She didn’t finish speak, but her meaning was too obvious.

Su Qing stepped forward and hugged Mu Yunyao. Her throat was broken, so she couldn’t make a sound. She could only silently cry, looking extremely miserable.

Shen Binghuai’s expression was grave. “Miss Mu was also beaten by Wang Mama and Liu Mama?”

Mu Yunyao seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, but she put on a strong appearance. She nodded and replied, “Reporting to Lord Shen, on the second day I came to the Su family, I was beaten up by the two of them. However, they only hit me twice with the stick, so it shouldn’t be a problem.”

Jin Lan was extremely aggrieved: “If Miss Meng’s leg hadn’t suddenly hurt and leaked the truth about how she framed Miss, Miss would have been beaten up by them with twenty times. If Miss completely punished by them, then she would have been completely ruined!”
