Chapter 63

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Mu s.h.i.+ was frightened when she was called out, but she still insisted: “Master, I was wronged. I treated Lan’er like my sister, so how could I harm her?”

Nonsense. She isn’t stupid, how could she admit that she did it herself? Looking at General Yu’s appearance, if she admitted it, it would be strange if she didn’t get killed by him.

Besides, it had been more than two years since this incident, and General Yu had no foundation for his claims and no evidence. What can prove that she killed Concubine Lan? At this time, as long as she does not admit it, she will be fine when General Yu is angry, and she can still be his beautiful lady.

Mu s.h.i.+ lowered her head, concealed the panicked look on her face, took out her kerchief, and wiped the corners of her tearless eyes. She said sadly, “Master, I don’t know what’s going on today. Someone must have wanted to slander me! Master, you have not been at home for the past three years, and I have taken care of it alone. I am afraid that you have offended a lot of people. You just came back, and you have used this to smear me, sir. You can’t wrongly believe in these words, you have wronged me! Oh…”

Although Mu s.h.i.+’s remarks were to defend herself, she secretly reminded General Yu that he had not been at home for the past three years, and she was working alone in the house. If General Yu thought about her hard work, then he might believe her.

General Yu remembered the scene in the ancestral hall and then remembered another thing: “What’s the matter with Qianfang? She’s a good girl, why doesn’t she have any hair? How did you take care of her!?”

Mu s.h.i.+’s mind had incessant grievances. Yu Qianfang’s hair didn’t seem strange, and she never found out what was going on. Anyway, she wasn’t her own daughter, she was just a daughter of a concubine, and she didn’t care what she became.

But could she tell General Yu this? At first, General Yu had doubts about Concubine Lan’s relentless suspicion. If he saw her as indifferent to his concubine, she would definitely think that her mistress was not qualified.

Mu s.h.i.+ had no choice but to answer what he had inquired about: “…I heard that it was a ghost that shaved her head, but I didn’t expect it to be so serious. Master, Qianfang is a girl, and her hair has become like this, so she naturally refuses to come out to see people. Today is the first time I saw her.”

Speaking of ghosts shaving their heads, Mu s.h.i.+ immediately had a flash of inspiration. She took a few steps and continued: “Master, today’s events were a bit strange. If the troublemaker in Pinlan Garden really is Concubine Lan, why couldn’t she find someone else? What about Qianfang? Qianfang is her biological daughter. How could she allow so many irrelevant people to harm Qianfang? The ghost we saw today is definitely not Concubine Lan!”

General Yu didn’t understand these twists and turns. After listening to Mu s.h.i.+’s rhetoric, he felt that there was some truth to it. He frowned and thought for a while. He said, “You have seen the shadow too. It’s clearly Lan’er. It looks like her, and even the tone of speech was the same. If it’s not her, then who is it?”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

Mu s.h.i.+ also couldn’t figure out who the ghost was, but she vaguely felt that Sorceress Bai had some problems, but now it was definitely unrealistic to ask her about it, and she had already said that she would leave the Yu house after finis.h.i.+ng the ritual today. After leaving the house, where would she go to find someone?

What’s more, Sorceress Bai was invited by her, and if something went wrong, it would still be counted against her in the end.
