Chapter 494 - A Greedy Old Servant of the King Jins Manor (1/2)
As long as someone shouted first, others would follow. And he spoke everyone’s mind. They reached the acme of dissatisfaction with You Yue’e, only thinking that it was all because of this vicious b.i.t.c.h that murder happened at the King Yan’s Manor from time to time. And those who died were all second consorts and pregnant women. Such a hateful, jealous woman deserved to be punished.
Others complained about King Yan’s cowardice. Seeing that he was still protecting Consort Yan, people thought he must be afraid of Consort Yan. Consort Yan was the legitimate daughter of the Mingguo Manor. She had a n.o.ble status. No wonder King Yan was afraid of her. But he couldn’t even protect his own women and children. He was so incompetent.
How could such a useless prince bear such a great responsibility? Several of Feng Yulei’s former supporters also changed their positions at this time. If King Yan got the throne, the Mingguo Manor had the most say. This… this was really a small deficit with collusion. Such a thing must never happen.
“Your Highness!” You Yue’e was so scared that she almost cried. She’d lost her pride long ago and was just pulling Feng Yulei tightly, afraid the crowd would actually rush in and rip her apart. Those people were crazy, really crazy. How dared they do this to her?
She was Consort Yan.
But she was clear that she couldn’t put on airs. Listening to the voice of the people gradually increased and looking at the angry expression on their faces, You Yue’e now just wanted to hurry into the house. She did not want to see the crowd who had gone crazy. She was really scared.
She was so nervous that she didn’t notice Feng Yulei barely standing when she pulled him. He did not shake off her with a few flings of his sleeve, but was dragged back by her, and immediately set off a wave of rage.
There was a big s.p.a.ce behind the King Yan’s Manor, where the small carriage of Mo Manor was parked alone.
Auntie Qing looked at the scene in horror and rubbed her swollen eyes in disbelief. This was King Yan’s Manor. These people were so bold to force King Yan through the gate and throw some rotten vegetables on Consort Yan’s head.
The female servant, crying hoa.r.s.ely beside her, nudged Auntie Qing to remind her, “Auntie Qing, that’s enough. Let’s go back.”
“Okay.” Auntie Qing immediately understood and cried out, “My girl, you did die for a wrong cause!”
Then she closed her eyes, fell back, and directly fainted.
The young and old maidservants who had come with her cried out, and some of the people who were standing at the back of the crowd came to their aid and advised them to go home first.
Since Auntie Qing fainted, several old and young maidservants all lost their backbone, and immediately listened to the advice. Together they lifted Auntie Qing into the carriage. The female servant, who was also weeping, was persuaded into the carriage. Then the Mo Manor’s carriage left the King Yan’s Manor slowly.
Like the way they came, they slowly went to the Mo Manor, with women’s crying voices coming out of the car from time to time.
The carriage entered through the side door of the Mo Manor. After getting out of the carriage, the maidservants and the old maids helped Auntie Qing to rest in her yard. The last to alight was the maid who had cried most. Seeing that there was no one around, she turned and went to another direction, where Mo Xuetong lived before she got married.
Although she was not Mo Yan’s blood mother, at least she was her aunt. It was her duty to speak up for her niece. At this time, Third Miss’s people were still waiting for her to respond.
In the Mingguo Manor, You Yuecheng’s face was almost dripping with gloom.
He stormed into his study and sat motionless in front of the large desk, his eyes almost full of melancholy. Suddenly, he raised his hand and flung all the stationery on the table to the ground. His brows were almost screwed together, and he was more frightening than he had ever been.
“Your Excellency…” The manservant at the door timidly put out his head and looked at You Yuecheng. He had never seen You Yuecheng so angry as he had always been calm. The manservant was frightened.
You Yuecheng’s handsome face had a sullen smile and seemed to be able to sc.r.a.pe a layer of ice off it. He clenched his teeth as if about to lose his temper, but then he took a breath and calmed down. “Go and fetch that person.”
“Who… who do you mean, Your Excellency…” asked the manservant who was frightened out of his wits, looking at him anxiously.
You Yuecheng did not answer, but looked at him coldly. The manservant shuddered, then came to himself, and said, “I will bring her now, Your Excellency.” Then he ran out at once. You Yuecheng’s expression was too scary now, so he’d better stay away from him.
In the study, You Yuecheng composed himself. He looked up at the empty s.p.a.ce in front of him, his face darkening.
If he was not mistaken, yesterday that woman returned to the Mo Manor from King Xuan’s Manor, and today the Mo Manor took action, which attacked in his unprepared point. The sudden attack left King Yan powerless to respond. Ostensibly for Mo Xueqiong, they actually set a trap and took advantage of the matter about Mo Yan, the maidservant.
She seized on another small mistake. How could You Yuecheng not be angry?
What a cunning woman she was!
She not only restored Mo Xueqiong’s reputation, but also framed his sister. You Yuecheng had a feeling that if he didn’t act, his sister You Yue’e would be in big trouble tomorrow. With such a bad reputation, how could she keep her place as Consort Yan.
“Mo Xuetong, since you make me unhappy, don’t expect to be satisfied.”
