Chapter 572 - The Truth Is Always Only One (1/2)
“What?” Madam Qu was shocked as if she had been struck by lightning. She almost couldn’t stand still.
“Madam, you didn’t hear wrong. Your niece is no longer a virgin girl. She has more than one intimate encounter. It seems that it happened half a year ago.” The nanny, who came out to report, glanced sideways at Madam Qu with sarcasm and said coldly.
The two of them came from the palace, so they naturally did not have to care about Madam Qu’s sensibility. What was more, their current master was Consort Xuan. Judging from Madam Qu’s appearance, they knew that she hated Consort Xuan. Then, why did they have to save Madam Qu’s face?
“No, that can’t be true. It’s impossible. It must be impossible.” Madam Qu staggered a few steps, and her face was as pale as snow. How could her delicate niece be a s.l.u.tty woman? How could she not be a virgin girl? Did the nannies make a mistake? Her eyes suddenly met Mo Xuetong’s deep watery eyes. The shock and confusion in her eyes immediately became sharpness. Suddenly, she pointed at Mo Xuetong and screamed wildly.
“Is it you? You asked them to say that on purpose. It must be you.”
She turned to look at Old Madam and immediately cried, “Old Madam, you have to stand up for Ya’er. Even if Wenyou doesn’t want to take her, you can’t ruin her reputation. You can’t force her to death or listen to Consort Xuan’s false accusation.”
Luo Mingzhu was really disappointed with her mother as Madam Qu was still arguing. She took two steps back and stood in front of Mo Xuetong. She looked at Madam Qu coldly and said, “Mother, how can you believe this?”
“Mingzhu, all of you have been deceived by Consort Xuan. She brought the nannies here, and she must have done something. That must be it. Look at her current state, she was even worse than Ya’er at that time. If I had known that she was so vicious, I… I, at that time, why…” Madam Qu pointed at Mo Xuetong and scolded, gritting her teeth.
Old Madam trembled in anger at her stupid words. It seemed that her second daughter-in-law could not stay in the manor any longer. She had to get her eldest daughter-in-law to quickly return to the manor to take charge of the matters lest the idiot would betray Fu General Manor before she even knew.
When Luo Wenyou saw that Madam Qu was still behaving impolitely and was comparing Yun Ya and Mo Xuetong, he felt annoyed and could not control the anger in his heart. “Second Aunt, what was wrong with Cousin Tong? Because she said that you and Miss Yun had plotted against me? Or I didn’t go against Grandmother? Second Aunt, do you think that I am really stupid?” he suddenly snapped coldly.
Madam Qu trembled in fear when she heard that. Her face was so pale that it was almost transparent. How did Luo Wenyou know that she had plotted against him? Didn’t he plead with Old Madam to allow him to take Yun Ya?
“Second Aunt, do you think that I did not say anything earlier and only said it now?” A hint of anger flashed in Luo Wenyou’s eyes, and a trace of disappointment painted on his usually calm face. He continued, “Second Aunt, my mother is not in the capital. I have been raised by you all these years. If you really want me to take Yun Ya, I will do as you want. As long as Yun Ya stays in the manor and does not make any trouble, I will treat her well and respect her as your wish. Then Grandmother will not punish you because of this.”
“I trust you so much, but what you’ve done? Not only did you not see Miss Yun’s true colors clearly, but you even scolded Cousin Tong. I really don’t know in what capacity you scolded her. As Second Madam of Fu General Manor, Second Aunt, you have obviously offended a superior; as Cousin Tong’s Second Aunt, Second Aunt, did you take her as your niece?”
Luo Wenyou’s words were filled with pain but honesty. It shocked Madam Qu and her face was so pale that it was almost transparent. She shook in fear and her expression slowly turned livid. Sweat appeared on her forehead. She thought that after he had been living in the capital with her for many years, Luo Wenyou would save her face and would not make her too embarra.s.sed or make Old Madam really punish her.
She put drug in Luo Wenyou’s wine and Luo Wenyou was drunk after just one cup. How could Luo Wenyou not be aware of it after he woke up? However, since he didn’t say it out loud, it meant that he did not blame her for taking a concubine for him. Madam Qu thought that it was just a concubine, and that the manor just needed to get an extra pair of chopsticks for the backyard. Even if it was not Yun Ya, it would be someone else. Why did she bring Yun Ya to the manor and make her rest her heart?
Luo Wenyou knelt before Old Madam and pleaded with her. It was obvious that he had accepted her method. As such, Madam Qu felt that this arrangement was appropriate. However, she did not expect Luo Wenyou to speak everything out loud. How would Old Madam look at her and what would her husband do? Madam Qu truly thought of herself and was afraid.
Old Madam and Luo Bin would not let her off after she caused a disturbance in the manor.
Furthermore, Mo Xuetong, whom they doted on the most, was involved in this matter. Madam Qu was filled with hatred and anger when she thought that they didn’t dote on Luo Mingzhu, her biological daughter, as they did on Mo Xuetong!
Madam Qu was so shocked that she almost couldn’t speak for a moment. She turned her head forcefully and looked at Yun Ya, who was dragged out by the other nanny. For the first time, A look of horror and disbelief came over Madam Qu’s face. Suddenly, she turned her head hurriedly and explained to Luo Wenyou in a panic, “Wenyou, it’s not true… It’s not like that… Yun Ya was framed… That must be true.”
“Ya’er, Ya’er, tell me if it’s true. Is it true?” Madam Qu asked Yun Ya in a series of questions, as if to calm herself down.
“Aunt, I didn’t do it. I didn’t… Aunt, it’s her. She deliberately made me unable to enter Fu General Manor.” Yun Ya felt her body grow cold and she had already fallen to the ground. Now, Madam Qu’s question seemed to be the last straw to her, and she refuted subconsciously. Dread, fear, panic… all kinds of emotions surged up in her heart and made her grab Madam Qu’s sleeve and refuse to release her grasp.
