Chapter 493 - The Plot Failed, and Bring Trouble to Themselves (1/2)

Even after the investigation, he was unlikely to get a heavy punishment.

Feng Yulei knew that You Yuecheng would do something, bringing the matter to the Mo Manor. If the people from the Mo Manor came to make trouble, he could get away.

Today, as soon as he heard some people from the Mo Manor were at his gate, he took You Yue’e out. He wanted to act well, but something unexpected happened again.

Feng Yulei had no idea that someone would stand up for a maidservant instead of for Mo Xueqiong.

It was not in the same direction that he designed it to be. For a moment he was a.s.sailed by her questions. His face darkened, almost dripping with water, and he stared at the woman in front of him with hatred.

“Who are you?” asked Feng Yulei through gritted teeth.

“I’m the mother of Mo Yan, the maid who was tricked into getting pregnant and then died a horrible death. Your Highness, you are high above, and the owner of King Yan’s Manor. You should be very clear about all the affairs in your manor. Tell me, who was the father of the baby in my poor daughter’s belly? Was it you? If it was you, why did you let my daughter and her baby die?”

Mo Yan’s mother addressed Feng Yulei as “Your Highness”, knelt down and kowtowed to him. She spoke plainly, but each word sounded sadly like a drop of blood. The poor woman’s eyes were red and swollen from crying, her hair loose and her face pale; she almost collapsed to the ground, but she still cried and begged King Yan to tell her the answer. For a moment all the people were touched.

Next to her, Auntie Qing started whining. “My poor daughter, the maidservant around you was getting pregnant, but you didn’t even know that. What, what a wimp you were! You couldn’t even protect your maidservant. How… how could you survive? If I had known that you would die in King Yan’s Manor, I would have tried my best to stop you. My poor child, how glad you were that day when you married into King Yan’s Manor!”

According to Auntie Qing, Mo Xueqiong was very happy to marry King Yan. Why did the second consort urgently elope with another man after only a few months?

The crowd stared at Feng Yulei and started talking.

“Your Highness, tell us, what happened?”

“Even if she is a maidservant, she was pregnant with your child. It belonged to the royal family. How could you be so cruel to hurt them?”

“What is this? Why did such things happen repeatedly? And none of them survived. I heard that another second consort also died before. The back yard of King Yan’s Manor is really…”

When Feng Yulei was speechless, You Yue’e couldn’t stand it anymore. She snapped, “Nonsense! Who knows whose b.a.s.t.a.r.d was in that maidservant’s belly. Is our manor a place for people to breed b.a.s.t.a.r.ds?” She was already p.i.s.sed off, but Feng Yulei kept hinting at her not to b.u.t.t in.

As soon as she finished, Feng Yulei’s face darkened, and he knew something was wrong. Before he could think of a solution, the female servant who was kneeling on the ground and crying and kowtowing to him suddenly stood up, rushed over, spat at You Yue’e, and scolded angrily, “If Mo Yan had a b.a.s.t.a.r.d in her belly, is there a pureblood in this manor? Even if you are Consort Yan, you can’t call His Highness’ son a b.a.s.t.a.r.d. No wonder second consorts died one after another, and so did the babies. It was all because you thought the babies were b.a.s.t.a.r.ds and couldn’t keep them.”

She was scolding You Yue’e, making the latter unable to refute. Then the crowd erupted.

Everyone immediately began to discuss the past. There was a second consort who was pregnant before, and also suffered ma.s.sive bleeding. Now a second consort died, and then a maidservant who was probably pregnant with King Yan’s baby also had an accident. Why did something always happen to King Yan’s second consorts and babies?

All eyes fell on You Yue’e this time. The last people in the manor who didn’t want to see those second consorts and babies was Consort Yan. She managed all back yard affairs. She could do it quietly to frame the second consort, making the scene of elopement, and making the maidservant abortion. Compared with King Yan, Consort Yan was more suspected.

They had only suspected King Yan, and now they found that Consort Yan might be behind everything. The crowd broke into a buzz at once.

It was like a sword, pointed straight at You Yue’e.

Feng Yulei knew something was wrong! Angry and anxious, he held You Yue’e back, afraid that she would act rashly again.

But at this time, You Yue’e feel wronged. w.a.n.g Xiuxiu herself was a s.l.u.tty woman, who had an affair with King Ning before she married into the King Yan’s Manor. Besides, when she came to King Yan’s Manor, she had been pregnant. Later, she made a scene when King Ning got married, and then died in a blood avalanche after returning to the King Yan’s Manor. What did this have to do with her?

How did it get to the point where she couldn’t stand her?

As for Mo Xueqiong, King Yan never took her seriously. How could she be jealous of her and set up this trap? The maidservant had nothing to do with King Yan. It was caused by her brother’s servant who pretended to be him in order to monitor whether anything was wrong with Mo Xueqiong. She had nothing to do with her.

How could she murder them?

Her face was red with anger and she was tongue-tied. When Feng Yulei came to pull her, she snapped Feng Yulei’s hand away in exasperation and tried to make it clear. As Consort Yan, how could she do such a stupid thing? What did they mean by that?

The crowd noticed that her face was grim with anger, and that the woman who was being held by her maidservant looked miserable. What she said was reasonable, and in line with the cause and effect. At this time, several eagle-eyed people also saw that You Yue’e angrily threw King Yan’s hand away, and that King Yan was so nervous and helpless. They couldn’t help but get suspicious.

Consort Yan’s fierce manner seemed to indicate that she was a jealous person. She even dared to shook off King Yan’s hand. This was not consistent with a wife’s att.i.tude towards her husband, but a shrew’s behavior.

Was the fact that she was tongue-tied due to her guilty conscience?
