Chapter 224 Eloped with Others?

“Mother, what does Madam Shi mean? What a vicious little bitch does she take a fancy to? How dare she treat me and Yuru like that! Mother, you should redress the scales. The general severely reprimanded me before I came here and said that if Madam Shi does that again, I shall never have a connection with Duke Yong’s Mansion. Mother, what… what should I do now?”

Madam Di cried and fell in front of the old lady.

Madam Di went to meet the old lady and told her the whole story as soon as she arrived at Duke Yong’s mansion. The old lady was extremely angry about the fact that Countess Yong did such a vicious thing together with Ning Caixian, and then she also blamed Qin’s Mansion for damaging the royal gifts. The old lady severely smashed her crutch on the ground and she said with a fierce voice, “Go… call Madam Shi here!”

The old lady had only one daughter. And Madam Di, her only daughter, was the apple of her eye. Had it not been for the special things happened before, she wouldn’t let her daughter leave home to go to a strange place. Now Madam Di finally returned to the capital city and it was time for the families to enjoy time together. How could the old lady not be angry with her daughter-in-law for sabotaging her daughter and granddaughter?

Countess Yong quickly arrived, and when she entered the room, she was harshly reprimanded by the old lady. “Kneel down!”

Countess Yong grinned, came over to pat the old lady on the back a few times and asked, “Mother, what happened? Sister, what’s the matter? If Mother thinks I have done something wrong, tell me, I will definitely make amends. It’s not good to be so angry!”

Madam Di sat up wiping her tears, and she gave vent to a torrent of abuse. “Madam Shi, you are so dissatisfied with Yuru that you want that little bitch to be your daughter-in-law? Duke Yong’s Mansion always had a good reputation, how could you accept such a cheap whore!”

She had felt so wronged before, now she hated Countess Yong even more, so she vented all her anger on Countess Yong.

Looking at Countess Yong calmly, the old lady said nothing.

Countess Yong asked gloomily, “My sister, with whom do I feel satisfied? What has ruined the good reputation of our house? You’d better make it clear. What have I done to you and why do you think I don’t like Yuru? If I don’t like her, would I accept her to be my daughter-in-law?”

She was scolded by the old lady without rhyme or reason, and now even Madam Di came to put her down. Did they really think she was so good-tempered that she could be easily bullied!

“Madam Shi, do you need me to tell you who you take a fancy to? How dare you plot to ruin Yuru’s reputation along with your vicious niece and let a man come to our house! The man is still in our place and will be sent to the judge soon. I’ll have the officials arrest the vicious woman and gave her a severe punishment.”

Madam Di gritted her teeth and spoke in hatred.

Countess Yong was greatly shocked and her expression had changed because of the bad foreboding deep in her heart. “Who is the woman you are talking about?”

Madam Di said angrily, “Who else can she be? You always want her to be your daughter-in-law, the woman who lives in your mansion and has an affair with your son. Don’t tell me you don’t know about the whole thing. I also want to mention the advice you gave me, if the plate was really broken, then Qin’s Mansion would suffer a disaster. Of course, Qin Wanru would be punished, but Yuru and I would also get burnt!”

The more Madam Di thought of it, the angrier she became. She thought a lot on the way over here and came to feel that Countess Yong had bad intentions. And her one plan gave birth to two.

Countess Yong was shocked by her words and asked quickly, “What happened to Caixian?”

“She is about to be severely punished. Thanks to you!” Madam Di sneered. She now hated Countess Yong very much. Of course, her words were not pleasant to be heard. “Madam Shi, I’ve treated you well since you married into Duke Yong’s Mansion. Why do you want to hurt me and my Yuru so much? What’s in your mind and how can you be so vicious!”

“My sister, what do you mean by these words? What do you mean by saying that I want to hurt you and Yuru? I still don’t know what happened. It was fine before. How did it get like this?” The color went from Countess Yong’s face.

“You don’t know? That’s right. You definitely will not tell others you know about the whole thing since it has got into this position! Di Yan isn’t back now. He left Qin’s Mansion before me, but he hasn’t arrived yet. Nobody knows where he has gone. Did he go to look for that bitch again?”

When Madam Di entered the mansion, she asked the servants at the gate and they said that they did not see Di Yan return.

“Madam Shi, can you tell me what happened?” The old lady slapped her hand heavily on the table with her face full of anger. “And also the plate, I don’t remember that we had a set of royal plates. Where did you get the plates? Why did you take it to frame your sister? Tell me the whole thing!”

Countess Yong said, surprised, “What’s wrong with the plates? Are they broken? Isn’t that better? You don’t like the girl in your mansion. She broke it, and she should bear the responsibility! Isn’t it the advice I offered you when you asked me about it? And you said it was a great idea at that time.”

Madam Di trembled with anger and she almost rushed forward to give Countess Yong a slap. She pointed her and said, “Madam Shi, how dare you say so! You almost hurt my whole family!”

“What do you mean?” Countess Yong was really puzzled and asked with a frown.

“If that plate really broke into pieces, Qin Wanru, as a child, couldn’t take full responsibility. The general and I should also be in charge of it. What you have taught Yuru to say also cannot hold up to closer inspection. You said it’s the betrothal present, but how could it be described in such a simple sentence since it’s a priceless gift. That’s really easy for you to say!”

Madam Di only regretted not reading the sentence clearly before, so she pointed to Madam Shi and shouted abuse.

“Madam Shi, you haven’t said where the plate came from,” the old lady felt that she had more secrets kept hidden from others and said sullenly.

“Mother…” The glib Countess Yong thumped.

Madam Shi immediately pointed at her and shouted, “Mother, look, she deliberately tried to scheme against me. I don’t know where she found a set of broken plates. She just wants to frame my family. The general just came to the capital city and he is greatly appreciated by the emperor. What would the emperor think if such a thing happens? Do you want to destroy my family?”

Madam Di passed the buck to Countess Yong. “Madam Shi, what’s in your mind?”

“Madam Shi, where did you get this plate?” The old lady had a bad expression, and she was full of doubts about Countess Yong. “I don’t remember that we had such a set of plates from the emperor!”

The plate was placed on the table in front of the old lady. And she had also seen the old crack.

“Mother… Mother, please have the servants leave!” Countess Yong glanced around and said perplexedly.

“You’ll not be afraid to tell others a good thing about you. Madam Shi, did you do something terrible without my eldest brother’s knowledge? And now you want me to be your scapegoat!” Madam Di asked in a bad mood.

“Withdraw from here!” The old lady waved calmly. The old women and maids on both sides retreated. The last old woman also closed the door for them.

“Say it, what happened?” the old lady frowned and said coldly.

“Mother…” Madam Di also wanted to say something, but the old lady waved to stop her. Her eyes rested on Countess Yong with a cold expression.

Being stared at by the old lady, Countess Yong trembled a little and knew that she could not hide it anymore. She gritted her teeth and said, “Mother, the… the plate is not from our family, but from Madam of Duke Xing.”

Although they were both descendants of lords, Duke Yong’s Mansion was not a patch on Duke Xing’s Mansion.

The color went from Madam Di’s face and she asked, “Why did she trouble me? I didn’t know her very well before and didn’t offend her!”

“Tell me, why did she bring the plates to you, and why did you give the plates to your sister? If you can’t make it clear…” The old lady also noticed that it was not a small thing, and her expression became more and more cold.

“Mother, it was not a big deal originally because… it was just a show of kindness of Madam of Duke Xing. She heard what happened to my sister and was angry that a widow had taken the lead. So she gave the plates to me.” Countess Yong had to be honest.

“That plate is cracked, you can’t miss it!” Madam Di said angrily.

“I didn’t pay attention to it, and I didn’t care so much about it because it’s about Qin Wanru.” Countess Yong also felt that it was not good advice then, and her face was pale.

“You took the royal gift without checking, and then you still dared to send it to your sister. If I had known you were this stupid, I would not have chosen you as the daughter-in-law of Duke Yong’s Mansion!” the old lady said angrily.

.

Countess Yong lowered her head in shame and said uneasily, “Mother… is there any misunderstanding… Madam of Duke Xing is such a kind person, and her relationship with our government has always been good. It should be impossible for her to have any bad thoughts. Maybe she doesn’t know about the crack in the plate!” She didn’t think that Madam of Duke Xing had schemed against her.

“You are really muddled!” The old lady stood up, walked around, and then returned to Countess Yong. “Invite Madam of Duke Xing here, tell her that something is wrong with the plates!”

“Emm… Madam of Duke Xing may not be free…” Countess Yong hesitated.

“If you tell her what I have told you, she will certainly come. She will also be punished if something happens to the royal gift!” the old lady sneered.

“But…”

“There is no ‘but’. Although Duke Yong’s Mansion is not as strong as it used to be, we are not easily framed!” the old lady said unhesitatingly.

“Ok, I will invite Madam of Duke Xing right away!” Countess Yong said helplessly.

Madam Di also knew that she couldn’t solve it now. So she stared at Madam Shi and asked, “What about Ning Caixian, a bitch who schemed against Yuru?”

“Old lady, bad news, the heir of the duke has left with Miss Ning!” Suddenly, there was a voice of panic from outside the door, and all the people in the room were frozen by what she said. Madam Di was the fastest to realize what happened. She rushed to the door and opened it…
