Chapter 336
~ MU YUNYAO CAN’T STAY ~
The Eldest Madam clenched her teeth and suddenly slammed her palm on the table. “Mu Yunyao seduced Qingwu?”
“Yes. Mother, you should think about it more carefully. Previously, Elder Brother had helped her speak up for her several times. At that time, I felt that something was wrong. However, I didn’t think about it too much. Now the truth has been revealed. If it wasn’t for that vixen Mu Yunyao seducing Elder Brother, why would Elder Brother support her many times? Especially this time, She…she broke my arm, but Elder Brother kept scolding me and had no intention of avenging me!”
“Mu Yunyao, you really have the guts!”
Su Yuyi’s tears fell even more, “Mother, could it be that my arm has some kind of disability? The Imperial Family wouldn’t want a disabled daughter-in-law, so you have to save me...”
The Eldest Madam suddenly came back to her senses and looked sharply at the maid at her side. “What are you all standing there for? Why aren’t you going to help the Eldest Miss find a doctor?”
“Yes, this servant will go now.”
The Eldest Madam helped Su Yuyi up and settled her down, “Don’t worry. Mother has already sent someone to get a doctor, so you will definitely be safe and sound. As for that Mu Yunyao, you can rest assured that the moment she returns to the residence, it will be the day of her death!”
Su Yuyi smiled, and the hatred in her heart had calmed down a little: “Mother, that Mu Yunyao is Grandmother’s granddaughter too, can she agree?”
“I have my own ways. First, you should lie down and rest. Mother will go see your Elder Brother.”
Su Yuyi snorted and added fuel to the fire: “Mother should go take a look. I’m afraid that even now, Elder Brother is still helping Mu Yunyao!”
As soon as Su Qingwu finished changing his clothes, he heard the attendant say that the Eldest Madam had arrived. He rose to his feet and walked out to greet his mother. “Greetings, Mother.”
The Eldest Madam walked into the room and sat down. Then, her gaze landed on Su Qingwu, and with a sense of scrutiny in her eyes, she said, “Qingwu, your younger sister is injured. Did you know that it was Mu Yunyao who did it?”
“I know.”
“Since you know, why didn’t you help your sister take revenge?”
“Mother, I don’t know what Yuyi said to you, but now is definitely not the time to touch Mu Yunyao.”
The Eldest Madam suddenly grabbed the teacup on the table, then slammed it down next to Su Qingwu’s feet. “Kneel down!”
Su Qingwu’s forehead creased. He didn’t even spare a glance at the porcelain shard as he directly knelt on the ground, and instantly, there was blood spread on the ground.
The Eldest Madam’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. She got up and walked in front of Su Qingwu, looking down at him condescendingly. “Tell Mother, do you like Mu Yunyao?”
“I don’t like her!”
“Qingwu, Mother has raised you for twenty years. Although Mother doesn’t say that you’re in control, you can roughly guess what your thoughts are. Tell me the truth, do you like Mu Yunyao or not?”
Faced with the Eldest Madam’s questioning, Su Qingwu’s face didn’t change in the slightest. “I don’t like her.”
The Eldest Madam sneered, “Alright, since you don’t like her, then Mother is planning to get rid of her. Do you have any ideas?”
Su Qingwu’s eyes suddenly trembled. “Mother, we can’t act rashly in this matter!”
“Heh, don’t tell me I can’t touch a country girl?”
“If Mu Yunyao is really an ordinary country bumpkin, not to mention one, even there are ten, and Mother wanted to kill her, Son wouldn’t say a single word. However, she wasn’t an ordinary person. Nowadays, the influence of Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo was growing stronger and stronger, especially in Jiangnan. Everyone was aware of Mu Yunyao’s reputation. When she left Jingling City to return to the Su family, the entire city sent her off. Even this Mid-Autumn Festival, the citizens did not forget to send her presents. Once she died in the Su family’s residence, it would cause a great disturbance. At that time...”
“Qingwu, you have such a big reaction, and you still say that you don’t like her?”
Su Qingwu raised her eyes. “Mother, I was just discussing the matter. Yuyi was wronged, but she was the one who caused the fire at Baohua Temple. Aunt Su Qing almost burned to death in the room at that time...”
“Shut up! Your sister has a kind and pure personality, so she would not do such a thing?!” The more Su Qingwu spoke, the angrier the Eldest Madam became.
Su Qingwu frowned, not knowing what to say to make the Eldest Madam understand, “Mother, there are many people who are watching Mu Yunyao, not just our Su family, but the First Prince and Third Prince are also paying attention to her. If we really attack Mu Yunyao, there might be people who will step in to save her. With get Mu Yunyao’s loyalty, it would be equivalent to obtaining Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo. With get Mu Yunyao’s loyalty, it would be equivalent to obtaining Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo. Currently, the few princes are trying to interfere in Jiangnan. However, they not being able to do anything about it, so they will definitely not let go of this opportunity to rope her in.”
“Isn’t it just a few work shop and teahouses? How could they enter the princes’s eyes?”
“Up until now, there are already more than ten shops in Ni Yun Fang. But Bu Xian Luo, it’s not much worse than Ni Yun Fang. The tea leaves that are collected and distributed in different places are still notably popular. More importantly, Mu Yunyao has an extremely high reputation amongst the citizens of Jiangnan. The embroidery needlework that she spread has made countless people benefit from it...”
“Alright!” The Eldest Madam didn’t have the patience to listen to what Su Qingwu had to say. She didn’t want to believe that a dignified lady like her would be unable to handle a girl from the countryside, “Even if she’s valued, she’ll still be punished if she does something wrong. She broke Yu Yi’s arm. This account can’t be easily wiped off!”
If she couldn’t make a move on Mu Yunyao openly, couldn’t she still move in secret? In the many courtyards of the Capital’s various residences, how many people will not die? What she did not lack were methods that could make one wish they were dead!
“Mother....”
“Senior apprentice-sister, senior apprentice-sister …” Su Qingwu wanted to persuade again, but the Eldest Madam didn’t have the slightest bit of patience at all.
“QingWu, you are the eldest son of the Su family and have a bright future. In the future, the entire Su family will be in your hands, do not do anything that would ruin your own future. Otherwise, you don’t need Mother’s hand, but your father will get rid of Mu Yunyao first!” The Eldest Madam’s tone was cold, and her eyes were full of warnings.
Su Qingwu slowly lowered his gaze, only feeling a cold chill in his heart.
“Get up. When the doctor is done with your sister’s injuries, he will come and help you with your diagnosis and treatment. The Autumn Hunt is coming soon, and Among the young talents of previous years, you have always come out on top. Don’t let any accidents happen this year!”
Su Qingwu knelt on the ground, not responding.
The Eldest Madam, however, did not mind at all and left towards the door. After exiting the courtyard, her expression became even gloomier. Mu Yunyao could not stay, definitely can’t stay!
As soon as Su Yuyi entered the residence, she made such a ruckus. Naturally, the news soon spread to the Old Madam. Wen Mama stood at the side with her head lowered, not daring to make a sound. The only sound left in the room was the sound of the Old Madam twisting her Buddhist beads.
After a long time, the Old Madam Sun finally spoke: “Mu Yunyao …. I had really underestimated her. A little girl, she actually dared to challenge the Su family! Wen Mama, you have served by my side for dozens of years. What do you think I should do now?”
“Although I have served Madam for many years, my mind has never improved. I do not dare to speak nonsense.”
The Old Madam’s cheeks twitched, and her hand that twirling the Buddhist beads stopped. “Send someone to get a doctor, tell him that I have a headache and am unable to get up from my bed for the next two days. Don’t spread what has happened in residence to me. The noise is plain and annoying.”
“Yes, Madam.” When the Eldest Madam in the East Courtyard heard this news, her lips lifted into a smile. She pulled Su Yuyi’s hand and said: “Yuyi, from your grandmother’s point of view, she leave the affairs of the house to me. This time, no one can save Mu Yunyao!”
