Because Ye Shenghe had been staying in Lady Wen's room for the past two days, the old lady came to find him to say a few words, and Ye Shenghe blocked her off using the excuse that Lady Wen's body was unwell and needed to be taken care of, and did not give him any chance to take advantage of her.
When Concubine Su found out about this, she was so angry that she smashed a few Ru Kowloon Plum Bottles. Liusu and Xiang Pendant looked at the shattered pieces of porcelain on the ground and silently sighed.
"Aunt, why do you have to go through all this trouble? It's not worth it to be angry to the point of losing your body. " Liusu went forward and helped Concubine Su to sit down, and advised him.
Concubine Su slammed her hands on the table fiercely, her eyes flashed with a cold light: "Wen Yi Jun …. People are already old, and you still want to fight me! "
Calming the anger in his heart, Concubine Su took off the silver bracelet on his wrist and handed it over to Liusu, "Find an opportunity to invite Concubine Qiao over, and tell her that you have something important to discuss with her."
"Concubine Qiao has been suppressed by the Second Madam recently, what's the use of calling her over?"
Concubine Su glared at her, and said angrily: "If I tell you to go, then go! Where did all this nonsense come from! "
Seeing her angry, Liusu quickly took the bracelet and left. The Fragrant Pendant did not dare get closer to Concubine Su, so it lowered its head and picked up the pieces of porcelain that were on the ground.
The bright full moon hung high in the night sky as Concubine Qiao quietly appeared outside Concubine Su's courtyard. The two of them spoke for a while, and only left at midnight.
… ….
The next day, Ye Yuning woke up at the end of the morning.
Sitting in front of the makeup table, Ye Yuning couldn't help but rub her forehead. Fei Xiu brought a cup of strong tea into the house. "Young miss, drink some tea to quench your alcohol."
Ye Yuning sipped and muttered: "If I had known, I wouldn't have drank this much."
She had forgotten that she was only thirteen years old, and that the first taste of wine was unaccustomed to it. After drinking the entire cup of tea, Ye Yuning heaved a sigh of relief. He finally felt better.
"As you wish. You just need to comb your hair into a simple bun. I'm not going out today." Ye Yuning instructed.
"En!" Her hands swiftly moved back and forth above her head. In the blink of an eye, she was done with a broken bun.
Picking up a pearl flower hairpin from her dowry, she also picked up a pair of pearl earrings and placed it on Ye Yuning. She casually lifted the bronze mirror and asked, "Miss, is this alright?"
Ye Yuning was very satisfied, she nodded her head slightly, changed into a set of light clothes, called Fei Xiu and Yi Xin, and headed back to the main house. Just as she entered the courtyard, Ye Yuning saw that a few maids were standing at the corridor, she could not help but feel strange.
"Wan Xiao, where are my father and mother?"
"Third Miss, Master and Madam are inside." Wan Xiao knelt down on the ground and bowed, then said, "Also, from the second house is here as well."
Hearing that, Ye Yuning frowned, then said: "Why is she here?"
"Third Miss, you will know once you enter." Wan Xiao's face did not look good. She pursed her lips and lifted the curtain for her.
Ye Yuning stepped into the room and heard Concubine Qiao's unique high-pitched voice.
"Master, you are the master of a family, you can't possibly allow your children to behave like this, can you? The third young miss has caused our eighth young miss to suffer so much! "
Ye Yuning raised her head, she did not see Concubine Qiao's figure.
Wan Xiao followed along, and looked towards the Warm Pavilion to the west and pouted: "Madam is still resting, Master is afraid of disturbing her, let Concubine Qiao speak at the Warm Pavilion."
Sure enough, the voice could be heard from the pavilion once again.
"Third Miss is vicious and merciless, she did not hesitate to frame her sisters for her own sake. How old is Eighth Miss? How would he live in the future if he were to marry an old man who was in his forties? Woo woo … * I may not be her mother, but the eighth miss is still a piece of flesh that fell from my body. The lord doesn't care about my wife, but only I, his concubine, give it my all … Great Master, you are one of the parents, could it be that you want to protect Third Young Miss? "
"Concubine Qiao, you shouted for so long, why are you shouting for? Speak clearly! " Ye Shenghe's low voice came out.
Ye Yuning couldn't hear the emotions behind his father's words and couldn't help but to clench her handkerchief tightly. His father still did not know about this matter. If Concubine Qiao really caused a ruckus, who knows what might happen?
"A few days ago, the fifth master of Li's Mansion came to Third Miss to propose … "Since the third young miss is unwilling, she dragged us to the Flower Lover Banquet, causing our eighth young miss to lose her innocence and have no choice but to marry into the Li Clan …"
Concubine Qiao's words were filled with righteous indignation, but the words that came out made Ye Yuning sound like someone who would use any means, vicious and cold-blooded. Ye Yuning could not help but sneer, before Ye Shenghe could say anything, she opened the curtain and walked in.
"Concubine Qiao's ability to invert black and white has really broadened my horizons."
Inside the Warm Pavilion, Concubine Qiao saw Ye Yuning suddenly appear, her mouth slightly opened, obviously extremely surprised. When Ye Yuning saw the situation inside the pavilion, she was immediately enraged.
Concubine Qiao stood only two or three steps away from Ye Shenghe, wearing a pink gauze dress, her skin faintly revealing, her makeup exquisite, and her oval face full of tears, looking really pitiful.
Looking at his expression, how was he here to find someone to complain to? He was obviously here to seduce people! In Ye Yuning's mind, the scene of Hui Lan climbing onto Fu Ranzhi's bed in his previous life and being caught red-handed by him suddenly surfaced in her mind.
She wasn't a child, she knew very well what kind of tricks Concubine Qiao was playing. This Concubine Qiao was really out, he actually dared to plot against her father, if she did not do anything today, no one knew what she would do in the future.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Yuning slowly suppressed the anger in her chest.
"Father, why are you here to see Concubine Qiao?" Ye Yuning tilted his head and looked at Ye Shenghe with a face full of blame.
Ye Shenghe was feeling rather awkward. When he came to this place, Concubine Qiao had only said that he had to tell him something regarding Ye Yuning. Ye Shenghe thought that Ye Yuning had gotten into trouble again, and didn't want Lady Wen to worry about him, so he agreed to it.
Who would have thought that Concubine Qiao would come out like this? According to the situation now, it was indeed rather inappropriate for him to take care of things. Concubine Qiao was Ye Shenghe's sister-in-law. If this matter were to be spread out, who knew what sort of rumors would spread.
The moment any gossip spread into his ears, he would definitely believe it to be true. From the moment Concubine Qiao explained everything to him, Ye Shenghe had already guessed Concubine Qiao's intentions.
Coughing, Ye Shenghe said with a straight face: "Concubine Qiao, you just said that Yu Ning plotted against Yujiao? Is that true? "
Concubine Qiao could not help but nod her head as she wiped her tears away with the pink blue handkerchief.
"If there really is such a thing, why didn't you tell the madame?" The madame has always been in charge of the affairs of the inner chamber. What is the use of telling me? " As Ye Shenghe said that, his brows knitted, and his expression instantly turned cold, "Furthermore, I don't believe that Yu Ning would do such a thing."
Concubine Qiao's face changed slightly, "Great Master, what do you mean? Was she not planning to seek justice for Yujiao? Are we really going to cover for Third Miss? "
