Chapter 572 The Truth Is Always Only One

“What?” Madam Qu was shocked as if she had been struck by lightning. She almost couldn’t stand still.

“Madam, you didn’t hear wrong. Your niece is no longer a virgin girl. She has more than one intimate encounter. It seems that it happened half a year ago.” The nanny, who came out to report, glanced sideways at Madam Qu with sarcasm and said coldly.

The two of them came from the palace, so they naturally did not have to care about Madam Qu’s sensibility. What was more, their current master was Consort Xuan. Judging from Madam Qu’s appearance, they knew that she hated Consort Xuan. Then, why did they have to save Madam Qu’s face?

“No, that can’t be true. It’s impossible. It must be impossible.” Madam Qu staggered a few steps, and her face was as pale as snow. How could her delicate niece be a slutty woman? How could she not be a virgin girl? Did the nannies make a mistake? Her eyes suddenly met Mo Xuetong’s deep watery eyes. The shock and confusion in her eyes immediately became sharpness. Suddenly, she pointed at Mo Xuetong and screamed wildly.

“Is it you? You asked them to say that on purpose. It must be you.”

She turned to look at Old Madam and immediately cried, “Old Madam, you have to stand up for Ya’er. Even if Wenyou doesn’t want to take her, you can’t ruin her reputation. You can’t force her to death or listen to Consort Xuan’s false accusation.”

Luo Mingzhu was really disappointed with her mother as Madam Qu was still arguing. She took two steps back and stood in front of Mo Xuetong. She looked at Madam Qu coldly and said, “Mother, how can you believe this?”

“Mingzhu, all of you have been deceived by Consort Xuan. She brought the nannies here, and she must have done something. That must be it. Look at her current state, she was even worse than Ya’er at that time. If I had known that she was so vicious, I… I, at that time, why…” Madam Qu pointed at Mo Xuetong and scolded, gritting her teeth.

Old Madam trembled in anger at her stupid words. It seemed that her second daughter-in-law could not stay in the manor any longer. She had to get her eldest daughter-in-law to quickly return to the manor to take charge of the matters lest the idiot would betray Fu General Manor before she even knew.

When Luo Wenyou saw that Madam Qu was still behaving impolitely and was comparing Yun Ya and Mo Xuetong, he felt annoyed and could not control the anger in his heart. “Second Aunt, what was wrong with Cousin Tong? Because she said that you and Miss Yun had plotted against me? Or I didn’t go against Grandmother? Second Aunt, do you think that I am really stupid?” he suddenly snapped coldly.

Madam Qu trembled in fear when she heard that. Her face was so pale that it was almost transparent. How did Luo Wenyou know that she had plotted against him? Didn’t he plead with Old Madam to allow him to take Yun Ya?

“Second Aunt, do you think that I did not say anything earlier and only said it now?” A hint of anger flashed in Luo Wenyou’s eyes, and a trace of disappointment painted on his usually calm face. He continued, “Second Aunt, my mother is not in the capital. I have been raised by you all these years. If you really want me to take Yun Ya, I will do as you want. As long as Yun Ya stays in the manor and does not make any trouble, I will treat her well and respect her as your wish. Then Grandmother will not punish you because of this.”

“I trust you so much, but what you’ve done? Not only did you not see Miss Yun’s true colors clearly, but you even scolded Cousin Tong. I really don’t know in what capacity you scolded her. As Second Madam of Fu General Manor, Second Aunt, you have obviously offended a superior; as Cousin Tong’s Second Aunt, Second Aunt, did you take her as your niece?”

Luo Wenyou’s words were filled with pain but honesty. It shocked Madam Qu and her face was so pale that it was almost transparent. She shook in fear and her expression slowly turned livid. Sweat appeared on her forehead. She thought that after he had been living in the capital with her for many years, Luo Wenyou would save her face and would not make her too embarrassed or make Old Madam really punish her.

She put drug in Luo Wenyou’s wine and Luo Wenyou was drunk after just one cup. How could Luo Wenyou not be aware of it after he woke up? However, since he didn’t say it out loud, it meant that he did not blame her for taking a concubine for him. Madam Qu thought that it was just a concubine, and that the manor just needed to get an extra pair of chopsticks for the backyard. Even if it was not Yun Ya, it would be someone else. Why did she bring Yun Ya to the manor and make her rest her heart?

Luo Wenyou knelt before Old Madam and pleaded with her. It was obvious that he had accepted her method. As such, Madam Qu felt that this arrangement was appropriate. However, she did not expect Luo Wenyou to speak everything out loud. How would Old Madam look at her and what would her husband do? Madam Qu truly thought of herself and was afraid.

Old Madam and Luo Bin would not let her off after she caused a disturbance in the manor.

Furthermore, Mo Xuetong, whom they doted on the most, was involved in this matter. Madam Qu was filled with hatred and anger when she thought that they didn’t dote on Luo Mingzhu, her biological daughter, as they did on Mo Xuetong!

Madam Qu was so shocked that she almost couldn’t speak for a moment. She turned her head forcefully and looked at Yun Ya, who was dragged out by the other nanny. For the first time, A look of horror and disbelief came over Madam Qu’s face. Suddenly, she turned her head hurriedly and explained to Luo Wenyou in a panic, “Wenyou, it’s not true… It’s not like that… Yun Ya was framed… That must be true.”

“Ya’er, Ya’er, tell me if it’s true. Is it true?” Madam Qu asked Yun Ya in a series of questions, as if to calm herself down.

“Aunt, I didn’t do it. I didn’t… Aunt, it’s her. She deliberately made me unable to enter Fu General Manor.” Yun Ya felt her body grow cold and she had already fallen to the ground. Now, Madam Qu’s question seemed to be the last straw to her, and she refuted subconsciously. Dread, fear, panic… all kinds of emotions surged up in her heart and made her grab Madam Qu’s sleeve and refuse to release her grasp.

She turned to look at Mo Xuetong, her eyes filled with hatred. “Mo Xuetong, why, why are you trying to destroy me? It’s all you… It’s all your trap!”

Mo Xuetong’s eyes darted from Yun Ya’s face to Madam Qu’s faces. She did not say anything, but a cold smile crept on the corners of her lips. Yun Ya still did not admit it, and wanted to push Madam Qu against her to make her aunt fight with her. She would cry only when death was staring her in the face. It was a pity that her plans were destined to fail today.

Mo Xuetong felt relieved. She had thought that Luo Wenyou really liked Yun Ya, so he didn’t deny it and turned a blind eye to all the doubts even if he had to stand a loss.

Only now did she discover that Luo Wenyou did it for the sake of Madam Qu. Mo Xuetong’s eldest aunt had been accompanying her eldest uncle at the border, and since her eldest cousin was the heir of Fu General Manor, he had grown up by his grandmother’s side in the capital. Madam Qu was in charge of Fu General Manor in the capital and it could be said that Madam Qu had raised Luo Wenyou.

Her cousin had an unusual feeling for Madam Qu. Fortunately, Luo Wenyou had pointed the frame out in front of them now. It meant that her cousin was disappointed with Madam Qu. Since then, Madam Qu could no longer be capricious to control her cousin. This was good. It was not in vain for her to be a villain this time.

“Who is trying to harm Fu General Manor?” Luo Bin’s voice which was as cold as a knife sounded from outside the door.

“Old Sir!” Madam Qu fell to the floor on the spot, and wore a look of fear on her face, but she calmed down soon.

“Father!” Luo Mingzhu called out delightedly.

Luo Wenyou was not as excited as the two of them. He cupped his hands before his chest and stood to the side, feeling ashamed and guilty. He had not thought things through today and had only wanted to be considerate of his second aunt before he knew more about Yun Ya. If such a slutty girl were allowed to enter the manor, Fu General Manor’s reputation would be affected and the clean fame of the century-old noble family would be ruined.

Old Madam’s expression softened slightly when she sensed the change of Luo Wenyou’s state. She sat up straight with the help of Nanny Shen. She looked at her granddaughters sitting by her side and her eyes flashed with a hint of seriousness.

Mo Xuetong heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the meaning of Luo Bin’s words. She had already sent someone to the front courtyard to inform Luo Bin. He must have captured those people before he came here. He was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice and should have no problem interrogating the two ordinary servants.

The curtains at the entrance were lifted. Before Luo Bin had entered, an old maidservant and a young maid fell into the room. Everyone looked at them. Some of them immediately knew that they were Yun Ya’s wet nurse, Nanny Qian, and her personal maid, Ning Cui. The two of them had already been interrogated through intimidation and questioning by Luo Bin. They fell onto the ground, trembled and did not dare to stand up.

“You…” Yun Ya looked at them in shock. Her face turned pale, and her whole body was almost stiff like a wooden carving.

Hearing Yun Ya’s voice, Nanny Qian turned her head and saw her on the side. “Miss… I, I… Alas, Miss, you shouldn’t have done it in the beginning.”

Nanny Qian’s tears fell down. No matter how wrong the person in front of her was, she was still the young lady she brought up. That was why she listened to her. However, who would have thought that the young lady would be full of guts to plot against the heir of Fu General Manor? She really did not understand how Marquess Mingguo was better than His Excellency of Fu General Manor. Why did the young lady take a fancy to him? She even did not hesitate to use herself as bait to enter Fu General Manor to find out information for him.

“Speak.” Before Yun Ya could recover from the shock, Luo Bin harrumphed coldly and walked in with a dark expression. He curtsied to Old Madam and sat down on a chair by the side. He did not even cast a glance at Madam Qu. Madam Qu was so frightened that she did not dare to say anything else.

The truth was that Yun Ya encountered a robber on the way to the capital. When she was in danger, You Yuecheng, Marquess Mingguo, showed up and saved her. Then Yun Ya had a crush on You Yuecheng. She had always been a bold woman and immediately expressed her love to him. Learning that she was the niece of Madam Qu of Fu General Manor, You Yuecheng was very gentle to her and gave her a jade pendant. So the two had an affair.

After entering the gate of Fu General Manor, Yun Ya herself could not go out again, but Nanny Qian and Ning Cui could go out for various reasons. Therefore, they kept in touch through private messages. This time, Yun Ya did not hesitate to become a concubine in Fu General Manor because she wanted to inquire about the desert courtyard in the back yard.

It was because her aunt did not know clearly about the secret place. In order to please You Yuecheng, Yun Ya instigated Madam Qu to do this…
