Chapter 224 Eloped with Others? (1/2)

“Mother, what does Madam Shi mean? What a vicious little bitch does she take a fancy to? How dare she treat me and Yuru like that! Mother, you should redress the scales. The general severely reprimanded me before I came here and said that if Madam Shi does that again, I shall never have a connection with Duke Yong’s Mansion. Mother, what… what should I do now?”

Madam Di cried and fell in front of the old lady.

Madam Di went to meet the old lady and told her the whole story as soon as she arrived at Duke Yong’s mansion. The old lady was extremely angry about the fact that Countess Yong did such a vicious thing together with Ning Caixian, and then she also blamed Qin’s Mansion for damaging the royal gifts. The old lady severely smashed her crutch on the ground and she said with a fierce voice, “Go… call Madam Shi here!”

The old lady had only one daughter. And Madam Di, her only daughter, was the apple of her eye. Had it not been for the special things happened before, she wouldn’t let her daughter leave home to go to a strange place. Now Madam Di finally returned to the capital city and it was time for the families to enjoy time together. How could the old lady not be angry with her daughter-in-law for sabotaging her daughter and granddaughter?

Countess Yong quickly arrived, and when she entered the room, she was harshly reprimanded by the old lady. “Kneel down!”

Countess Yong grinned, came over to pat the old lady on the back a few times and asked, “Mother, what happened? Sister, what’s the matter? If Mother thinks I have done something wrong, tell me, I will definitely make amends. It’s not good to be so angry!”

Madam Di sat up wiping her tears, and she gave vent to a torrent of abuse. “Madam Shi, you are so dissatisfied with Yuru that you want that little bitch to be your daughter-in-law? Duke Yong’s Mansion always had a good reputation, how could you accept such a cheap whore!”

She had felt so wronged before, now she hated Countess Yong even more, so she vented all her anger on Countess Yong.

Looking at Countess Yong calmly, the old lady said nothing.

Countess Yong asked gloomily, “My sister, with whom do I feel satisfied? What has ruined the good reputation of our house? You’d better make it clear. What have I done to you and why do you think I don’t like Yuru? If I don’t like her, would I accept her to be my daughter-in-law?”

She was scolded by the old lady without rhyme or reason, and now even Madam Di came to put her down. Did they really think she was so good-tempered that she could be easily bullied!

“Madam Shi, do you need me to tell you who you take a fancy to? How dare you plot to ruin Yuru’s reputation along with your vicious niece and let a man come to our house! The man is still in our place and will be sent to the judge soon. I’ll have the officials arrest the vicious woman and gave her a severe punishment.”

Madam Di gritted her teeth and spoke in hatred.

Countess Yong was greatly shocked and her expression had changed because of the bad foreboding deep in her heart. “Who is the woman you are talking about?”

Madam Di said angrily, “Who else can she be? You always want her to be your daughter-in-law, the woman who lives in your mansion and has an affair with your son. Don’t tell me you don’t know about the whole thing. I also want to mention the advice you gave me, if the plate was really broken, then Qin’s Mansion would suffer a disaster. Of course, Qin Wanru would be punished, but Yuru and I would also get burnt!”

The more Madam Di thought of it, the angrier she became. She thought a lot on the way over here and came to feel that Countess Yong had bad intentions. And her one plan gave birth to two.

Countess Yong was shocked by her words and asked quickly, “What happened to Caixian?”

“She is about to be severely punished. Thanks to you!” Madam Di sneered. She now hated Countess Yong very much. Of course, her words were not pleasant to be heard. “Madam Shi, I’ve treated you well since you married into Duke Yong’s Mansion. Why do you want to hurt me and my Yuru so much? What’s in your mind and how can you be so vicious!”

“My sister, what do you mean by these words? What do you mean by saying that I want to hurt you and Yuru? I still don’t know what happened. It was fine before. How did it get like this?” The color went from Countess Yong’s face.

“You don’t know? That’s right. You definitely will not tell others you know about the whole thing since it has got into this position! Di Yan isn’t back now. He left Qin’s Mansion before me, but he hasn’t arrived yet. Nobody knows where he has gone. Did he go to look for that bitch again?”

When Madam Di entered the mansion, she asked the servants at the gate and they said that they did not see Di Yan return.

“Madam Shi, can you tell me what happened?” The old lady slapped her hand heavily on the table with her face full of anger. “And also the plate, I don’t remember that we had a set of royal plates. Where did you get the plates? Why did you take it to frame your sister? Tell me the whole thing!”

Countess Yong said, surprised, “What’s wrong with the plates? Are they broken? Isn’t that better? You don’t like the girl in your mansion. She broke it, and she should bear the responsibility! Isn’t it the advice I offered you when you asked me about it? And you said it was a great idea at that time.”

Madam Di trembled with anger and she almost rushed forward to give Countess Yong a slap. She pointed her and said, “Madam Shi, how dare you say so! You almost hurt my whole family!”

“What do you mean?” Countess Yong was really puzzled and asked with a frown.

“If that plate really broke into pieces, Qin Wanru, as a child, couldn’t take full responsibility. The general and I should also be in charge of it. What you have taught Yuru to say also cannot hold up to closer inspection. You said it’s the betrothal present, but how could it be described in such a simple sentence since it’s a priceless gift. That’s really easy for you to say!”

Madam Di only regretted not reading the sentence clearly before, so she pointed to Madam Shi and shouted abuse.

“Madam Shi, you haven’t said where the plate came from,” the old lady felt that she had more secrets kept hidden from others and said sullenly.
