Chapter 219 - Something Went Wrong Again?



Chapter 219 Something Went Wrong Again?

“This is the betrothal gift from Duke Yong’s Mansion to Yuru? Why didn’t I know about such an important matter?” Qin Huaiyong asked sharply.

He put the plate on Madam Di’s table and looked at her gloomily.

“Ge-general!” Madam Di panicked and stood up. “My sister-in-law sent it over. I wanted to tell you but I didn’t have the time to do so!”

The words had been rehearsed. Despite her panicking, Madam Di knew what to say.

“What about the betrothal gift list?” Qin Huaiyong was not easily fooled. His expression was gloomier than ever.

“It’s not done yet, and sister-in-law said that she would send it over in two days!” Madam Di twitched and said hurriedly.

“Duke Yong’s Mansion was so generous to offer a royal gift as a betrothal gift. They don’t even have a list to send it out. In that case, Duke Yong’s Mansion was considered to have lost the royal gift, and that’s unfaithful to the royals!” Qin Huaiyong looked at Madam Di coldly and said word by word.

Madam Di became as white as a sheet. She twitched again and felt as if she was immersed in icy water as she uttered, “Isn’t it in our mansion?”

“There is no list that says so!” Qin Huaiyong was ice-cold. His gaze fell on Madam Di and cut open her disguise relentlessly like a sharp sword. “Di, if this plate encounters a problem, Qin’s Mansion will be in trouble, but so will Duke Yong’s Mansion. The so-called aristocratic family is fragile, especially now that Duke Yong’s Mansion is not in the favor of the emperor!”

“General, I…” Madam Di’s eyes stared blankly. She had never seen Qin Huaiyong be so rude toward Duke Yong’s Mansion. She recalled her brush with death and trembled uncontrollably. She held the chair on one side and hid behind it.

“Since Duke Yong’s Mansion wants to deal with me, then don’t blame me for doing the same thing!” Qin Huaiyong seemed to not see the panic in Madam Di’s eyes as he sneered and left.

“General, general!” Seeing Qin Huaiyong’s determination, Madam Di rushed over and hugged Qin Huaiyong’s leg and screamed.

Qin Huaiyong stood still, staring at her coldly, his gaze sharp and cruel.

“Di, you set everything up. You passed the plate to Wanru, you raised that cat, and you prepared the pastry similar to Ruolan’s. It seems you have been plotting for a long time and waiting for the perfect opportunity. If your plan worked this time, Wanru and I would be in trouble, as would Duke Yong’s Mansion. Di, I am wondering if are you stupid or just pretending to be. If we get divorced, there is no way Duke Yong’s Mansion will take you in!”

“No…” Madam Di pleaded, her voice trembling unconsciously. “General, I did not know, I had no idea how things would turn out. My sister-in-law passed me this.”

“This plate has been broken. There is a crack left from the past. By sending this plate over, they are trying to push the blame onto us. Not only onto Wanru but our entire Qin’s Mansion. If Wanru were in trouble and Yuru said she lend it to her, Yuru would be in trouble too. What a good mother you are, pushing your daughters into hell, you have done great!”

Qin Huaiyong looked at Madam Di disgustedly and smirked.

How could he not hate her? This incident seemed to be simple, but it was not. Madam Di was so stupid to do such a thing. The moment he saw that crack hidden in the plate, he knew the whole plan.

Madam Di’s heart felt cold. She could not utter a word. She trembled and pulled on Qin Huaiyong’s robe. If what he said was true, she would regret it her whole life. She only wanted to sabotage Qin Wanru to death. She had no intention of harming Qin Yuru and Qin Huaiyong.

“Sister… sister-in-law said it did not matter!” Tears streamed down Madam Di’s face while she stuttered. She looked at Qin Huaiyong pitifully.

“You just believe what she said? You are now a member of Ningyuan Army General’s Mansion. I am pretty sure Countess Yong looked down on Qin Yuru, right? I don’t have to guess what she wanted. If Qin’s Mansion were in trouble, then Yuru’s marriage would no longer exist. You, as a mother, pushed your daughter into hell, and Countess Yong will thank you for that!”

Qin Huaiyong struck Madam Di mercilessly, he kicked her away and left.

He said no more words.

However, the silent deterrence made Madam Di even more panicked, she roared, “Nanny Zhou, Nanny Zhou!”

When Qin Huaiyong had come in, Nanny Zhou was chased out. Now, when she heard the voice of Madam Di, she hurried in and saw her on the ground. She quickly helped her up.

“Nanny Zhou, my sister-in-law wanted to harm me and doesn’t want Yuru to be her daughter-in-law!” Madam Di grabbed Nanny Zhou, who seemed to be her only hope.

“Madam, why are you saying this?” Nanny Zhou was shocked.

“Is my sister-in-law trying to frame me and does she not want Yuru as her daughter-in-law?” Madam Di held onto Nanny Zhou. It seemed that she would not let her go without an answer.

“Madam, why would Countess Yong want to harm you? How could she not want First Miss as her daughter-in-law? Isn’t the heir living in our mansion now? How could you say this!”

Nanny Zhou was far away and did not hear what Qin Huaiyong had said to Madam Di. She still spoke for Countess Yong.

“The plate has a crack, an old crack!” Madam Di suddenly turned and rushed to the table. She picked up the plate and hastily examined it.

She was panic-stricken. She did not know who was right, Nanny Zhou or Qin Huaiyong. She wanted to find some evidence.

She was confused and anxious and listened to no one. She needed to find evidence. The consequences described by Qin Huaiyong were so horrifying that she lost trust in her family. Her daughter was the best, how could Countess Yong not like her! Moreover, she had done other things because of her dislike!

She held the plate in the sunlight. An old trace appeared on the edge of the delicate pattern. It was cleverly hidden beside a flowery pattern.

As Madam Di’s face turned as white as a sheet, she trembled and nearly fell.

Nanny Zhou quickly held her up.

“My sister-in-law is so vicious!” Madam Di said through gritted teeth.

There was a crack. Madam Di believed that her sister-in-law had to know about the crack, as she was a meticulous person. However, she had still sent her the plate and set up the plan to frame Qin Wanru. She only mentioned dealing with Qin Wanru and making her dead.

She mentioned nothing about the crack on the plate, which would break sooner or later!

She had tried to frame her! According to the general’s meaning, if everything did happen, both Qin Wanru and Qin Yuru would be in trouble. The general’s career would be implicated. After all these years with Qin Huaiyong, Madam Di knew what mattered the most to him.

In the past, though she tried to frame Qin Wanru countless times, she tried to avoid the general. However, she now stepped into the trap set by her sister-in-law and nearly ruined the general’s career.

“Madam, how could you say this? The Countess has been so good to you and gave you whatever you wanted. She gave you the royal gift without hesitation!” Nanny Zhou didn’t understand the raging emotions in Madam Di’s heart. She thought she was lost and tried to console her.

With a thud, Madam Di slapped Nanny Zhou in the face. Nanny Zhou staggered back and nearly fell. She stared at Madam Di in astonishment.

As a confidant of Madam Di, she had never been slapped by her before.

Even now, she was confused about what happened. She cupped her wrinkled face and looked at Madam Di in a daze, uttering, “Madam, what’s happened to you? You are from Duke Yong’s Mansion, and you cannot be separated from them!”

“I am going to Duke Yong’s Mansion!” Madam Di calmed herself. Her lips trembled as her words came out through gritted teeth.

She could not endure the trap.

“Madam, think about it again. Do not hurry. Tell me what the general had said, and I will help you analyze it. After all, we could always discuss it. Do not be impulsive. Duke Yong’s Mansion is where you are from!” Ignoring the pain, Nanny Zhou stopped her and tried to persuade her hurriedly.

“The plate had a crack before this. Damaging a royal gift is a huge crime, yet sister-in-law passed it over to me without even mentioning the crack. I treated her with trust, but in her heart, Yuru and I are worse than a bitchy niece. All she wanted was to let Di Yan marry her niece!”

Madam Di gritted her teeth in hatred, but she was no longer impulsive.

“How, how could that be? That is not like the Countess!” It was the first time that Nanny Zhou knew about the matter, and the blood drained from her face. She was so scared that she couldn’t utter a word.

Nanny Zhou did not believe what Madam Di had said. However, she knew it was the truth, judging from Madam Di’s actions. She was at a loss of words.

They relied on Duke Yong’s Mansion and did not expect Countess Yong to frame Madam Di.

“Come on, let’s go to Duke Yong’s Mansion now. I am going to find my mother to ask her what’s happening. Are they trying to get Yuru and me killed?” Madam Di clenched her teeth. Her hatred grew along with the pressure that Qin Huaiyong gave her.

But before she left, someone stopped her!

“Madam, Madam, bad news. Someone is at the door asking to marry the First Miss!” A servant girl scrambled in, shouting before entering the yard.
