Chapter 573 - Old Madams Worry (1/2)

This was no longer a simple case of taking a concubine. However, it could not be used to testify against You Yuecheng. Yun Ya had loose morals and had already had an affair with someone else, and no one would believe her. You Yuecheng had always enjoyed a good reputation. A mere Yun Ya could not shake his reputation. Even though the jade pendant was owned by those who could enter the palace, You Yuecheng was not the only person who had it. It was possible that he would bite Luo Wenyou back

However, Mo Xuetong thought they should not waste such a person. She might as well get someone to watch over Yun Ya. Yun Ya was still in her courtyard which would be tightly guarded but nothing could be seen on the surface. When there was a need, she could be taken out to testify against You Yuecheng. It would be the most appropriate use at the crucial juncture. However, it was still not a good time to alert the enemy.

Then the servants took Yun Ya and her two servants around her out of the room.

Luo Bin brought Madam Qu and Luo Mingzhu to the study, and Luo Wenyou and Mo Xuetong were left in Old Madam’s house.

“Grandmother, I was wrong. I almost harm the entire Fu General Manor!” Luo Wenyou took two steps forward, knelt down in front of Old Madam with guilt and kowtowed heavily a few times. His eyes grew red when he saw that Old Madam still looked pale. He felt really guilty. He was the one who had caused his grandmother to be angry.

Old Madam took over the cup of tea Nanny Shen had remade and handed it to her. She took a sip to calm herself down and sat up straight, asking, “Do you know where your mistake is?” There was a flash of red in her eyes. Her grandson was not so confused, and it was enough to comfort Old Madam.

“I shouldn’t ignore the family’s interest and admitted this matter to protect Aunt from censure…” Luo Wenyou was extremely regretful at this time. He did not know that Yun Ya was not only restless by nature, but also harbored an evil intention against Fu General Manor. Almost, Fu General Manor was almost ruined by him. At the thought of this, how could Luo Wenyou not regret it?

He had always been kind and had grown up with You Yuecheng since he was a child. They usually attended the same banquets and were in the same circle. He did not expect You Yuecheng to plot against him. Even though he did not know what happened in the desolate yard in the back yard, he knew that matter must not be leaked out to others. His grandmother had told him very clearly when he was very young. When Mo Xuetong returned to the capital, his grandmother repeatedly told him not to say it to her.

Luo Wenyou knew that it was an unusual thing when he thought of how strict his grandmother was with the matter. However, he did not expect You Yuecheng to be interested in this place. How could Luo Wenyou not be angry and feel afraid? If Yun Ya became a member of Fu General Manor, she might really be able to find out about it. Then, his grandmother’s secret would be revealed to the world. His grandmother said that the secret would shake the foundation of Fu General Manor and cause the Emperor to grow suspicious of them.

That might lead to a disaster that involved the extermination of the whole family!

“You’er, did you think that Yun Ya was a gentle girl before and that it doesn’t matter to put her in the back yard? Did you think that was what your Second Aunt wanted, so you help her?” Old Madam sighed and looked at her grandson who she had been cultivating wholeheartedly into the successor of Fu General Manor. The child was too soft-hearted, and it would not be a big deal if he was in an ordinary family. However, he could not act like this in a grand manor like their family because it would kill many people.

Luo Wenyou’s face changed a few times. He looked at Old Madam’s face and said firmly, “Grandmother, I won’t do it again!” His heart was much stronger than before after what happened today. He looked at Mo Xuetong, who was quietly standing by the side. When he thought that she could see the crux of the matter just now and he could not find out anything about it, he felt guilty again.

“Get up!” Then Old Madam did not say anything else. Luo Wenyou could only depend on himself to understand this matter. Her grandson was smart and nice, but he was too soft-hearted. He had been caught by his aunt today and might be taken advantage of by his concubines tomorrow. It was really worrying.

In the future, he would be Fu General, the one who would truly be in charge of Fu General Manor. How could Old Madam not be worried? Fu General Manor was famous for its martial arts skills, and Luo Wenyou was a scholar and no longer had any advantage. If he remained too soft-hearted, Fu General Manor would truly end up in defeat.

“Grandmother, don’t worry. I will not make the same mistake again.” Luo Wenyou promised, gritting his teeth. A hint of darkness flashed in his eyes. He had not expected someone to want to know about the desolate courtyard. It had been so long. It seemed that someone was going to use this matter against Fu General Manor.

As the heir of Fu General Manor, Luo Wenyou was not as gentle as he looked.

“Grandmother, Eldest Cousin has already admitted his mistake. Forgive him! Besides, I wonder if someone discovered this on the way here…” Mo Xuetong said with a smile. She picked up the tea that Old Madam had placed by the side and held it in front of her. Then, she stood behind her and started to knock on her back obediently.

Old Madam understood immediately before she finished her words. She sighed to herself that she was indeed old and useless. She had forgotten something so important. She told Luo Wenyou, “Don’t stay here anymore. Your cousin is here with me. Go and see how many people have gotten the matter about Yun Ya on the way and give a gag order. If anyone dares to talk about this matter, their entire family will be sold together.”

“Yes, Grandmother. I will do it right away.” Luo Wenyou cast a glance at Mo Xuetong who was standing by the side. Even though he had something to say to her, he knew that he should not delay. He curtsied to Old Madam readily and left. His second aunt could put drug into his and his second uncle’s wine, and then, she had worked with Yun Ya to plot what would happen next. They must have sent a large number of people to do this perfectly. However, he did not know if these people belonged to his second aunt or Yun Ya who developed them after she came here.

Anyway, he had to investigate it and re-organized the backyard. It seemed that his marriage could not be delayed. His mother was in the frontier, and his grandmother was old, and Mingzhu was married. After such a thing happened, his second aunt would be punished. There was no one in charge in the inner yard, which was really troublesome.
