Chapter 75: A Militarized Training Ground (1/2)
Translator: Soldier
When Grandma Medicine was telling what had happened to her back then, the atmosphere in the living room was changing drastically.
It actually sounded a very tired story to Yun Wu.
The general plot was that the younger sister's family was in straitened circumstances, so she came to her elder sister to live with her, but in the end, the younger sister became jealous and greedy and set a fire to kill her elder sister. She tried to make that fire look like an accident, but unexpectedly, her elder sister survived. But in the end, the elder sister still ended up being pushed off a cliff by her own younger sister.
Seriously injured, the elder sister was in a coma for several years. After she woke up, she found that her looks had been ruined. When she came back home, people tried to chase her away as if she was a crazy woman, but she also discovered that her own younger sister had replaced her and taken everything that used to belong to her.
It was a tacky story, but this kind of thing was very common in some large families.
After Grandma Medicine told her story, there was a dramatic expression on everybody's face except for Yun Wu's.
Concubine Qu's face was alternating between pale and red, but she was unable to speak. She just glared at Yun Wu, eyes blazing with fury.
”You crazy woman cut the nonsense!” with an extremely livid and cold face, Earth Murong thundered and wanted to attack Grandma Medicine.
However, before Yun Wu could make her move, the Third Uncle snapped coldly, ”Enough! Your elders are here. It's not your place to talk!”
”Third Uncle, this crazy woman is not trustworthy. How can we trust her one-sided statement?” Earth Murong was very angry.
”That's true. Since there's no evidence, her story could be a complete fabrication,” Sky Murong's face was also livid.
”I believe her. And that will be enough,” right at this moment, Cloud Murong said in a deep voice.
His remark quieted the whole living room.
He believed her?
Sky Murong and Earth Murong looked at him in disbelief. In their eyes, Cloud Murong had always been an elder brother and a respectable Lord of the City.
But today, why did he disappoint them again and again?
And now he even said that he believed this unidentified old woman?
”She bears the exclusive symbol of our family on her shoulder – the unique mark given only to our father's legal wife.”
”Impossible!”
Neither Sky Murong nor his brother believed it. But at this moment, a sly and cold look flashed across the bottom of Yun Wu's eyes and with that she waved her hand and withdrew that silver needle sticking in Concubine Qu's neck.
Almost as soon as she regained her ability to speak, Concubine Qu, whose eyes had been red with anger for a long time, pounced squarely on Grandma Medicine, yelling in a shrill voice, ”You bitch! I'll kill you... ”
Senses? Dignity? Nobility?
None of them could be seen on Concubine Qu at this moment. Compared with Grandma Medicine, she seemed more like the one who was crazy.
Cloud Murong's face darkened. With a swish of his figure, he instantly moved to the front of Grandma Medicine, stretched out his hand and gripped Concubine Qu's wrist, ”Second Mother, please conduct yourself with dignity.”
”Cloud Murong, I've been taken care of you for so many years, but you started calling me Second Mother after meeting this bitch for the first time. You ungrateful bastard, back then I should have–” Concubine Qu was in an extremely excited mood and started saying words she wasn't supposed to say.
Sky Murong immediately clamped his hand on Concubine Qu's mouth and stopped her.
He had realized something.
”Wuh... ” eyes reddening with anger, Concubine Qu struggled madly, trying to vent her anger.
Seeing this, all elders frowned.
As the Mistress, this kind of behavior was so undignified.
But if someone observed carefully enough, they would have noticed that something was wrong with Concubine Qu.
”Your Lordship, I'll take my mother away and let her have a rest.”
After saying this, Sky Murong took Concubine Qu and quickly left, but before leaving, he clearly took a cold sideways glance at Yun Wu.
”Your Lordship, I'd like to take my leave, too,” Earth Murong said and then hurriedly followed his brother out of the living room.
The living room finally became quiet.
Yun Wu sat down on the chair beside her. Her eyes were half closed and she seemed languid, sleepy and totally unconcerned, but in fact, she was secretly performing Qi circulation.
She had depleted her energy and it was very likely that the beast blood that she drunk yesterday had also been consumed. She had been having dull pains in those wounds all along.
It seemed that she had to find a way to get some beast blood.
But when she was thinking about this, Cloud Murong was declaring something in front of his elders.
”Uncles, since today you're all here, let me get this straight. My mother is still alive, so she'll be living here in this mansion. And this little girl beside my mother is her adopted granddaughter, who's also my goddaughter... ”
...
Seeing that Cloud Murong was so thick-skinned, Yun Wu ignored him.
But after Cloud Murong made that declaration, their dwelling directly switched from the guest room in the East Garden Pavilion to the west wing, which meant that he had directly acknowledged Grandma Medicine was his natural mother.
Having had her son back, Grandma Medicine was very happy, and people could see the happiness in her eyes.
Since Grandma Medicine was happy about it, Yun Wu didn't take any further action.
