Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
Xuan Cao laid out everything like she was coming clean: “Pinlan Park used to be where Aunt Lan and Second Sister lived . After Aunt Lan pa.s.sed away, Second Sister did not want anyone to live here again, so she made some tricks in the courtyard to let everyone know that Pinlan Park was haunted—“
Yu Linglong narrowed her eyes a bit when she heard Xuan Cao’s words .
Was it that simple?
It was not difficult to infer from Xuan Cao’s words that Aunt Lan was Yu Qianfang’s mother-in-law, and she died early . Yu Qianfang didn’t want others to live in the yard where her mother used to live, so she designed this haunted conspiracy .
Was it just because of Yu Qianfang’s selfishness? Did she just happen to become an innocent scapegoat?
Yu Linglong’s intuition told her that it was not that simple .
But seeing that Ling Jiao was scared to death, Yu Linglong knew that her maid only knew so much .
As expected, since Yu Qianfang could use Yu Qianliu’s maid to do things, how could she let Ling Jiao know her true purpose?
It seemed that the fight in the inner house was not something she could avoid if she wanted to . Just because she fixed Yu Qianliu once, Yu Qianfang remembered her, and even wanted to use her to fight Yu Qianliu .
The thoughts of these little girls were really overwhelming .
Seeing Yu Linglong appear contemplative, Xuan Cao was frightened . She didn’t know what the poisonous Fourth Sister would do with her . She walked forward on her knees, fell under Yu Linglong’s feet, and said bitterly, “Please, Fourth Sister, the maid knew she was wrong! The maid would never dare anymore!”
Maybe Yu Qianfang can buy her with silver, but no matter how much silver, her life was not as important! Fourth Sister even dared to fight with Miss Mu s.h.i.+, so what is a little maid to her? Xuan Cao completely believed that Fourth Sister would never judge her too harshly .
Yu Linglong looked at the scared Xuan Cao, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth .
She wants to use her? Ok! She would see how capable this Yu Qianfang was!
…
Mu s.h.i.+ was in her bed, and the pain in her body made her toss and turn and she couldn’t sleep . Mother Qian, who was by her side, brought her a bowl and said dully, “Miss, it’s time to take your medicine . ”
Mu s.h.i.+’s gaze fell on Mother Qian, who covered her face with a white cloth, and felt sad for a while, and almost cried . “What kind of evil did I do that provoked such a fiend to come back!”
Mother Qian lied to comfort Mu s.h.i.+: “Miss, don’t worry, there will always be a solution to everything . You should take your medicine first . ”
How could these weak words persuade Mu s.h.i.+? Mu s.h.i.+ felt she could not drink the medicine at all . She pushed aside the medicine bowl, and tears fell endlessly: “You said that in just a few days, the house has changed . What’s going on!? Even Brother Wu was injured and hasn’t woken up yet . Xu w.a.n.g still doesn’t know what’s going on . If I am to blame, how can I tell the master!”
Mother Qian and the others couldn’t help feeling sad when they heard this . Yeah, let’s not say that everyone who followed Mu s.h.i.+ was injured, and Mu s.h.i.+ couldn’t afford the injury . Now, even the biggest male protagonist in the Yu family was beaten by Yu Linglong and was still unconscious . The backbone of the Yu mansion has fallen . Who else can preside over everything?
The more Mu s.h.i.+ thought about it, the more her head hurt: “It was Yu Linglong who caused trouble! If I knew earlier she was such a shrew, I wouldn’t have taken her into the house with a kind heart!”
Mother Qian said, “These four young ladies were honest when they first entered the household . Who would have thought she had such a temperament!”
