”Eh? Is Dad talking to me? I thought that since Father only listens to Big Sis, I won't waste my breath … ”
”You …” Seeing that Kieran's face had turned the color of a pig's liver, Second Aunt You Yin immediately comforted him, ”Master, don't be so angry … I say, Mi Er, why do you speak so shamelessly! ”
The teacup suddenly slammed onto the table, causing Yu Mi to stare blankly as she shouted: ”Impudent, who is your Mi Er? Do you take my words from a few days ago as nothing? It's because I have a mother like you who doesn't understand the bigger picture that I can bring up such a shameless daughter! ”
”Unbridled, Qin Yumi, I think the most impudent person here is you!” Kieran slammed the table hard, causing tea to splash all over. A few drops of the scalding tea splattered onto the back of Yu Mi's hand, but Kieran did not notice.
First Lady, however, pulled him over with a pained heart. She lifted her eyes to look at the man she had entrusted her entire life to, and the last bit of luck she had in his heart vanished completely.
With a cold and detached expression, First Lady asked: ”Old master, you want to ask what Qin Yuxuan did? ”Fine, I'll tell you. She is deceiving the ninth prince in the palace's inner palace behind everyone's backs …”
”Nonsense, old master, First Lady is purposely framing Xuan Er, I, Xuan Er am a rich man, how can she do such a thing?” Second Aunt had already blurted out, causing Yu Mi to be startled. She waved her finger and said: ”Senior Servant Zhuo, give her a long rule!”
”Yes sir!” The old lady walked down and gave the Second Aunt a hard slap right in front of Kieran.
He placed the teacup on the table and softly said: ”Father, you should teach Second Aunt a lesson now. Look, she has your love, and she has no rules or regulations in Shang Shu Fu. But you insisted on keeping elder sister by her side, which was why such a ridiculous thing happened today!”
”What is going on?” Kieran could not help but roar.
Yu Mi sighed and said, ”Father, normally, it's fine if eldest sister and the Ninth Prince have private relations, but today, they're actually hiding behind the imperial garden and secretly working with the Ninth Prince. Unfortunately, they were seen by the Empress, and even the faces of mother, father and Shang Shu Fu were all ruined by her!”
Kieran's face twitched a few times, and his gaze towards Qin Yuxuan turned dark. He was so scared that Qin Yuxuan took a few steps back and shouted, ”Dad, it's not like that!”
”It's not like that? What does Big Sis want me to say? Could it be that I am going to say that you shamelessly threw yourself into the Ninth Prince's arms? ”
”No, it's not like that. I really didn't …”
”Big Sister, don't deny it. Father, let me tell you the truth; it was originally me and the Ninth Prince that were chatting in the imperial garden; originally, Mi Er had already noticed that Big Sis was interested in the Ninth Prince, so I wanted to play with them. Who knew that being rejected by the Ninth Prince in one go, it would just be the daughter of a concubine … ”I really am …”
”You're lying, Big Brother Mo said he likes me!” Qin Yuxuan was obviously provoked by Yu Mi's words, as she blurted out these words without hesitation.
Yu Mi snorted a few times before looking into Kieran's cold eyes and continuing fearlessly, ”Father, if you don't believe me, bring the Ninth Prince here to face him and you'll know for sure … Elder sister, since she doesn't like you, then don't lose face for Shang Shu Fu! ”
”Enough, enough! ”Shut up!” Kieran shouted coldly.
Yu Mi looked at Kieran's pained expression and continued, ”Dad, it's not that I don't want to shut up, but we've sent word that if Master Shang Shu does not know how to raise his daughter, she would be willing to discipline him.”
Kieran's shoulders shook a little, and he looked at Qin Yuxuan a few more times. He waved his sleeves and said, ”You're a waste of time. Go and kneel in front of the ancestral hall!”
”Father, in my opinion, rather than letting Big Sis kneel on her knees, it's better to invite her as a ceremonial mama from the palace; Say, the Second Aunt has already offended the superiors by addressing me as Mi Er, and until now, I still do not know that in our Shang Shu Fu, only my mother is her mother. The rest are only half of our servants, if we were to make a big joke out of it in the future, the one who would lose face would be Father!”
”You … You, Qin Yumi, you actually dare to say that my mother is a servant … ” Qin Yuxuan suddenly opened her eyes wide and roared fiercely.
Yu Mi's expression darkened as she stood up, and with the speed of lightning, she reached out and slapped him. Qin Yuxuan flew out and heavily landed on the ground, with blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, she looked at Yu Mi with some fear.
Yu Mi flung her numb arms, looked at Qin Yuxuan disdainfully, and snorted coldly: ”Qin Yuxuan, I called you big sister for father's sake, but don't forget, in this mansion, I am the direct descendant; you're just a concubine, and I raised your status, yet you don't care about it, do you really want to be a lowly slave?”
”Mi Er, how dare you! This family is mine!” Kieran was so angry that his whole body was trembling, and even First Lady was shocked by the domineering aura of Yu Mi and looked at her daughter in a daze.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Kieran sarcastically, saying, ”Father, your daughter knew that you were the one in charge, or else do you think a lowly concubine like her would dare to criticize me, a young lady from the Jinguo Mansion? Do you think she would still be alive?”
