Chapter 563 - Who Is It, Consort Chus Personal Maid (1/2)

The woman had been hiding in the crowd and watching Qin Yuxuan from the side. When she saw him running away happily, the obsession in her eyes faded away, replaced by hatred. “Mo Xuetong, it’s all that b.i.t.c.h’s fault. Cousin Xuan and I are supposed to be a couple. If it weren’t for you, I would have been in love with Cousin Xuan.”

The book in her hand had been twisted into pieces and fell from her hand. She gritted her teeth and looked in the direction of the bookstore viciously. After a while, she turned around and walked into an alley. There was a small door leading to King Chu’s Manor’s back yard. It was a shortcut to enter King Chu’s Manor.

“Miss Sirong, you’re finally here. Her Lady sent someone to see you just now and asked you to come over as soon as possible. Her Lady is angry now!” Seeing the woman coming in, the old maid who guarded the door hurriedly came up with a warm smile.

“Her Lady is angry again?” After standing still, Sirong took out a piece of silver from her sleeve and handed it to the old maid. Then she asked knowingly with a smile on her face.

The old maid took it swiftly and placed it in her sleeve quickly. She smiled even more warmly and narrowed her eyes. “Yeah. I heard that a maid in the manor had offended Her Lady and had just been beaten to death. Her Lady is still angry, so she came to urge a few times.”

Even though it was Second Consort Mo who was in power, everyone knew Consort Chu was a daughter of Ding General Manor, so she would not fall down. The woman in front of the old maid was the personal maidservant Consort Chu had brought over from Ding General Manor, who had a voice in front of Consort Xuan, so the old maid did not dare to offend her. Furthermore, Miss Sirong was generous, and thus the old maid would naturally try to b.u.t.ter up to her.

“Miss Sirong, should I send someone to ask about it first before you go there?”

“No, I’ll go first.” Sirong turned around and went inside. The old maid took out the silver behind her and weighed it. Then her expression brightened. After thinking for a while, she shouted to Sirong, who had just arrived at the corner, “Miss Sirong, someone from Ding General Manor came just now. I don’t know if Her Lady was angry because of this.”

Someone from Ding General Manor came? A hint of darkness flashed in Si Rong’s eyes. She turned around and nodded to the old maid to show that she had accepted her kindness and continued to walk to the main yard.

She was not present when something happened in the palace. However, she did not expect Mo Xuetong to escape from the trap again. How could she not be annoyed and angry? She did not believe that the s.l.u.t, Mo Xuetong, was a strange cat who had nine lives and would not die. There was a hint of hatred on her pale face.

In the main yard, several old maids were nervously tidying up the yard. The smell of blood in the yard rushed to her nose as soon as Sirong came in. She covered her nose with a handkerchief and felt like vomiting. She frowned and looked at the old maids and ordered, “Clean it up. Rinse it with water a few times, and then use the incense in the warehouse to smoke it later. Don’t startle His Highness.”

Although Ling Rui’er had been locked up in the main yard for the past few days, Feng Yuxuan still slept here almost every day.

This was also the reason that no one in the manor dared to look down on her even though Ling Rui’er was punished.

Those old maids nodded in agreement and began to tidy more carefully.

When Sirong stepped into the room, a cup of boiling tea flew over from the opposite side before she could see it clearly. Then, Ling Rui’er screamed out of control and scolded, “You b.i.t.c.h, where have you gone?”

Sirong subconsciously turned her head and blocked it with her hand. Immediately, she felt a piercing pain rising from the last finger. Immediately a cold sweat broke out in her forehead.

The teacup slid past her hand and landed heavily on the ground beside her, making a crisp cracking sound. The tea splashed and a few drops landed on her. Fortunately, she reacted quickly. Otherwise, the cup of tea would have scalded her face, and she would be disfigured. As she looked at the broken teacup on the ground, Si Rong’s eyes flashed with hatred.

But then, she raised her head with a gentle smile on her face. “My Lady, what’s wrong? Is someone making you angry again? I told you yesterday that I would go to the market today to see if there were any good flowers and bought some pots of them for you. What a coincidence. I really saw a few pots of peony. I heard that they are all high-quality. But they haven’t bloomed yet. When the flowers bloom, My Lady can admire them and will be in a good mood.”

She smiled and didn’t seem to mind and what she said was true as well. Ling Rui’er then recalled that she had allowed Sirong to go out today last night. She had forgotten that while she was angry just now. Her anger immediately faded. She leaned back and sighed despondently, without saying anything.

Sirong heaved a secret sigh of relief when she saw Ling Rui’er stop being hard on her. Ling Rui’er was not someone who was easy to serve. She would be obedient when she was in a good mood, but when she was in a bad mood, she would kill others immediately. She was violent, selfish, and completely self-centered.

She waved her hand and gestured for the maidservant standing beside Ling Rui’er to change the tea for her. Then, she got someone to clean the floor. Ignoring the pain in her little finger, she walked up behind Ling Rui’er. She tapped gently on her back and asked with a smile, “My Lady, did Ding General Manor send someone here today?”

A few days had pa.s.sed since what happened in the palace, but Ding General Manor had not sent anyone over. It would not be good even if they came here. After all, the fact that another man had seen Ling Rui’er’s body meant that she was no longer chaste. If the man had not died and she had fooled others, King Chu and Ding General Manor would not have been able to save Ling Rui’er even if they wanted to.

However, no matter what, as Ling Rui’er’s maternal family, Ding General Manor had to rebuke her to show their att.i.tude for King Chu, indicating that Ding General Manor had accepted King Chu’s kindness.

After all, as Ling Rui’er’s husband, if King Chu were to pursue this matter, Ling Rui’er would be thrown into the sacrificial temple and would not be able to leave the temple for the rest of her life.

“Yes, how dare they say that I didn’t know how to behave properly? Who knew that s.l.u.t would plot against me as well…” Ling Rui’er gritted her teeth at the mention of the matter. She had always treated the Empress as her aunt, but she did not expect her aunt to plot against her like that.
