Chapter 569 - In a Rage, Confrontation between Grandmother and Grandson (2/2)

Furthermore, there were many suspicious points about this matter. Why would Yun Ya appear there at that time? She claimed that she was going to help Madam Qu to see if Second Master had returned to the manor, but as a niece who temporarily lived in the manor, she did not sleep in the middle of the night, but went to visit her uncle-in-law. No matter what, it did not make sense. However, Luo Wenyou was even stranger. He was rus.h.i.+ng to take responsibility. How could Old Madam not be angry?

Luo Wenyou kowtowed heavily again, raised his head, and said firmly, “It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, Miss Yun wouldn’t… I should take the responsibility!”

“You, you…” Old Madam covered her chest and could not say anything else. Mo Xuetong hurriedly reached out to hold her back and said gently, “Grandmother, don’t be mad. Let me ask Eldest Cousin, okay?”

Old Madam’s current condition was not very good; her eyes were bloodshot and looked slightly dark red. Mo Xuetong put her hand on Old Madam’s wrist and discovered that her pulse was beating wildly. If her symptoms continued, she would have a stroke. How could Mo Xuetong not be worried? So she comforted Old Madam first.

“Grandmother, take a rest and let Cousin Tong speak. She has something to say,” Luo Mingzhu said urgently. She could not be bothered with anything else when she saw Old Madam’s expression. She came to her, sat down and patted Old Madam’s shoulder lightly.

Madam Qu, who was standing by the side, saw how angry Old Madam was. She moved her feet uneasily, bit her lips, and lowered her head again. She could not turn back now. If Luo Wenyou really did not allow Yun Ya to marry into the manor, Yun Ya, who had lost her reputation, would die. Then she would be sorry for her own sister.

Old Madam finally calmed down. She looked at Mo Xuetong and patted her hand. Then, she leaned against the couch and closed her eyes, not saying anything else. Nanny Shen hurriedly picked up a cus.h.i.+on and placed it behind her back. She looked at Luo Wenyou who was kneeling on the ground with displeasure. Even though she did not speak, she was blaming him.

She had watched Luo Wenyou grow up. He had always been obedient and sensible in front of Old Madam, but why was he so obstinate today? The big family would not allow a concubine to marry into the family before the official wife. It broke the family rules about wife and concubine. If one did not care about that, it would be a disaster in the back yard of the family.

How could His Excellency not understand?

Mo Xuetong sat down again when she saw that Old Madam looked as if it was at her disposal. She looked coldly at Madam Qu and Luo Wenyou, who was still kneeling in front of Old Madam’s couch. A hint of sharpness flashed in her eyes and she raised her brows slightly. “Eldest Cousin, what are you doing? Are you going to kneeling here until you die if Grandmother doesn’t agree? Do you want Grandmother to be accused of being unkind? Are you forcing Grandmother?”

Her words were so sharp that Luo Wenyou could not keep kneeling. Madam Qu who was standing by the side also paled. In her heart, Mo Xuetong had always been smiling. She was a gentle niece. Even though she was Consort Xuan now, she had never put on any airs.

She had never thought that Mo Xuetong would have such a sharp side. She heaved a sigh of relief when Old Madam did not want to meddle in the matter anymore and threw it to Mo Xuetong. However, at this point, she felt as if her heart was in her mouth.

“Eldest Brother, are you kneeling for Cousin Tong and me?” Luo Mingzhu questioned coldly by the side, her heart full of displeasure.

Luo Wenyou could not kneel any longer when he heard that. He had to stand up by holding on to the corner of the table.

“Second Aunt, Eldest Cousin, please sit down first,” Mo Xuetong said lightly. From the way Luo Wenyou and Madam Qu behaved, it was obvious that they would not give up easily. Yun Ya was really good at plotting. However, Luo Wenyou was too straightforward while her Second Aunt had her own plan.

Luo Wenyou and Madam Qu did not dare to say anything when they saw her expression. They both sat down by the side.

“Second Aunt, why was Miss Yun still not asleep at that time? I heard that it was a little late at that time!” Mo Xuetong turned around to Madam Qu, ready to dig out something from her.

Madam Qu was stunned. She did not expect Mo Xuetong to ask her first. The corners of her eyes twitched and she sighed softly. “It would not have been so late. I chatted with her but we talked too many things. As a result, it was too late. I did not expect this to happen. If I had known that something like this would happen, I would have told Ya’er to return earlier. It’s such a pity that she was a pure and innocent girl…”

Luo Wenyou felt even guiltier when he heard that. His face flushed and he lowered his head.

“Mother, even if you said a few more words with Cousin Yun, how could you ask her to see if Father had come back or not. She is a young lady living in the boudoir, but why does she have to involve Father in it? Hasn’t she learned etiquette? Or does she have ulterior motives? Why does she go to Father in the middle of the night?”

Luo Mingzhu snapped hatefully by the side. She hated Yun Ya so much. She had known that Yun Ya was a restless person. Now the girl even colluded with her mother and made her mother suffer. She did not know how her father and grandmother would deal with her mother. As there were no outsiders in the room, she would not say anything nice.

For no reason, a young lady went to the study room at the second door to find her uncle-in-law, and it was in the middle of the night. It did not make sense in any case.
