Chapter 942 - Madam Di's Final Resort



Chapter 942 Madam Di’s Final Resort

“You work here as a second-class servant girl?” Qin Yuru asked with a ridiculing smile, which made her feel pain on her face.

“Yes, I do… I am a second-class servant girl now…” Qing Xue lowered her head even more.

“Come with me. Mother will take you as her servant girl if she likes you!” said Qin Yuru.

“No, I can’t. Madam Shui and Old Madam won’t allow me!” Qing Xue panicked. She took a step back and shook her head.

Speaking of Shui Ruolan and Old Madam Qin, Qin Yuru became angry and hateful. But she couldn’t do anything to them. Now she wasn’t powerful enough.

Qin Yuru gritted her teeth to suppress the anger in her heart. As a married-out woman, she had no right to cut into the affairs of Qin’s Mansion. At this time, she shouldn’t be angry with Shui Ruolan for a servant girl. She even had to pretend to be intimate with Shui Ruolan to please her father. If she caused one more trouble again, she would not be allowed to come home, just as her father had warned her before.

He would pretend that he had never had such a daughter like her!

“I will mention you to Madam Shui at a proper time!” Qin Yuru waved her hand impatiently.

“Thank you! Thank you, First Miss!” Qing Xue answered with a grateful face. She hurriedly stepped aside and made way for Qin Yuru.

Qin Yuru and Mei Xue left for Yulan Pavilion, where Madam Di lived. After they left, Qing Xue raised her head and looked in the direction of Qin Yuru.

“First Miss made big trouble a few days ago! The day after the General brought her back from Duke Yong’s Mansion, Countess Yong and the heir of Duke Yong came and managed to persuade First Miss to go back to Duke Yong’s Mansion. But bad news came the next day. The heir of Duke Yong lost his title because of First Miss!

“What does she intend to do now?”

After thinking for a while, Qing Xue turned around and went to the inner court. She had to tell Madam Shui that First Miss came back through the back door. Madam Shui might not know about it.

Qin Yuru rushed to Yulan Pavilion. When she arrived there, she violently pushed the door, only to find that an old maid was cleaning the floor in the empty courtyard. The old maid was shocked by Qin Yuru’s messy appearance and didn’t recognize her at once. She just stared at Qin Yuru, who was with disheveled hair and a dirty face, and stammered, “Who… who are you…?”

“Get off! First Miss comes back!” Mei Xue stepped forward to push the old maid away and said sharply.

Qin Yuru ignored them and went into the main room, in which there was a sour smell that almost made her vomit.

There was an inferior servant girl in the main room. Hearing Qin Yuru’s voice, she turned around. She recognized Qin Yuru, but she was also stunned by Qin Yuru’s current image.

“Get out!” Qin Yuru scolded.

The servant girl dared not say anything but left the room. She met Mei Xue at the door and bowed to her. As an inferior servant girl, she by no means dared to offend a principal maid like Mei Xue.

“Stay far away. First Miss and Madam are about to discuss something!” Mei Xue waved her hand as if she were chasing away a fly and ordered the servant girl to leave.

The servant girl looked at Mei Xue and then at the old maid who had been driven out. She sensibly retreated to the door of the courtyard and stood outside with the old maid.

Qin Yuru walked into the inner room.

Madam Di was lying on the bed in the inner room. She was skinny and had few strands of withered hair on her head. There was no trace of beauty on her face. She looked scary, with blue veins bulging on her hands. People who didn’t know her would think that she was in her seventies or eighties!

“Yuru… Yuru…” Madam Di stammered on catching sight of Qin Yuru.

She got her throat hurt three years ago and didn’t receive good treatment. So she couldn’t speak fluently. Once she spoke hard, she would show the horizontal muscles and bones on her neck.

“Mother, I… I can’t live anymore! They want me divorced…” Qin Yuru rushed to the bed and cried aloud, with disgust in her covered eyes. If she had a choice, she wouldn’t have come back to beg Madam Di for help.

Madam Di’s haggard face made her very uncomfortable because it reminded her of what had happened before. Qin Yuru never thought that Madam Di ended up like this because of her. Instead, she believed she had helped Madam Di deal with Shao Wanru. But things didn’t go on as they thought. She didn’t mean to see such a result.

Madam Di looked like a ghost now. Qin Yuru didn’t want to see Madam Di again if she could.

“How, how dare they…” Madam Di said in a hoarse voice and reached out to hold Qin Yuru’s hand, though she was unable to move freely.

Qin Yuru tried hard to suppress her disgust and grabbed Madam Di’s hand. “Mother, what should I do? What should I do now? Father said he wouldn’t help me before!”

Qin Yuru burst into tears.

She hated everyone here. She used to live a good life in Jiangzhou, but now she fell into such a predicament here. It was all those people’s fault!

Shao Wanru, Shui Ruolan, Old Madam Qin, Qi Rongzhi and Shao Yanru…

Of course, Duke Yong’s Mansion should take most of the blame. It was they who took everything she had and made her feel guilty about her biological mother.

“Qin… Qin Huaiyong… You bastard!” Madam Di cursed angrily and kicked the quilt hard. It seemed that she wasn’t beyond remedy though she was in poor health.

“Mother, I… I would rather die than get divorced! Anyway, I have no children. I have nothing!” Qin Yuru cried even more sadly, “Mother, I have been feeling guilty for hurting you that day. Now… now I will pay you back. I will hang myself here later to show my last love for you!”

Qin Yuru choked with sobs, looking even more desperate now with her messy appearance. No matter how much resentment Madam Di had, she couldn’t bear to see her own daughter die in front of her.

She tightened her grip on Qin Yuru’s hand for fear that Qin Yuru would really commit suicide. Madam Di tried her best to persuade her daughter. “Yuru… they… they won’t dare to get you divorced!”

“Mother! How come they won’t dare to? Aunt announced their decision in front of me, Grandmother showed no intention to support me, and Di Yan even beat me and made me like this! Mother, how can I continue to live such a life?” Qin Yuru cried.

“How, how dare they…” Madam Di was so angry that she became out of breath and glassy-eyed. Qin Yuru hurriedly reached out to pat her mother on the back a few times to help the latter relax.

“Di Yan… hit you…?” Madam Di asked in a hoarse voice and gritted her teeth with strange coldness in her eyes.

“Yes, Mother. He hit me! But Grandma and other people just watched. None of them spoke a word for me. Aunt said it was a losing proposition to marry me. Mother, if it weren’t for them, how would I have broken off the engagement with Qi Tianyu?”

Qin Yuru had been regretting her decision all the time in the past three years. How she wished that it could be retracted! Di Yan could not be compared with Qi Tianyu at all.

During the past three years, Qin Yuru used to drop a hint to Qi Tianyu that she wanted to meet him in secret several times. However, as a well-educated man, Qi Tianyu didn’t accept her invitation and repeatedly suggested Qin Yuru be a good wife of the Di family and not have any unethical ideas.

But the more he said so, the more tenacious Qin Yuru became. “I should have married Qi Tianyu! Why did Di Yan cut in us and force me to break off the engagement with Qi Tianyu with the help of his family background? And after I married into Duke Xing’s Mansion, they don’t treat me well!”

In Qin Yuru’s heart, there was a reason for everything she did. It was others who made her fall into such a dilemma.

“Your, your grandma…” Madam Di tried hard to express herself.

“Grandma stands on Di Yan’s side. Mother, I’d better die. No one cares about me! They don’t care about whether I live a good life or not!” Qin Yuru cried so hard that her whole body trembled.

“She… she promised me that she would take… take care of you!” Madam Di was so anxious that her face and neck turned red. She held Qin Yuru tightly.

“Mother, everything is different now. Since you have been ill like this, I am afraid that I have no people to rely on anymore. Grandma dotes on Di Yan more. Mother, do you know that Aunt made a false account early to embezzle our dowries? When you just came back to the capital, she told you that your shop had been at a loss for more than ten years and asked us for money to make up for the loss! Do you still remember that?”

Qin Yuru became angrier and angrier. “Duke Yong’s Mansion should take all the blame for the dowry event. Why should I have to take it for them? I shouldn’t have publicized it! Otherwise, Duke Yong’s Mansion couldn’t have put all the blame on me! As for Di Yan, he lost his title as the heir of Duke Yong because of his own incompetence, which had nothing to do with me!

“Why was I punished for it?”

The last time Qin Yuru came back home, she didn’t visit Madam Di, so Madam Di knew nothing about it. After hearing Qin Yuru’s detailed statement, Madam Di turned livid with rage. “I knew it earlier that Madam Shi, that evil woman, would make use of my shop!” Actually, Madam Di suspected when she was told that her shop was at a huge loss because her mother told her that the shop had always made fortunes when she married Qin Huanyong.

“It turned out that Madam Shi played a trick!”

“What a wicked woman! What a wicked woman!” Madam Di gnashed her teeth in anger. She would have killed Madam Shi if the latter were in front of her. “I would not have fallen into such a predicament if I hadn’t lacked money at that time! Madam Shi had done a lot of harm to me!”

“Mother, they not only refuse to admit their mistakes but also pin all the blame on us. Mother, Mother! They also said that we brought trouble to ourselves. I don’t have a way out of it, Mother! Father doesn’t help me… Duke Yong’s Mansion doesn’t accept me! I… I…”

Qin Yuru became sadder and sadder. She looked at Madam Di with despair in her eyes, as if she were going to kill herself to find a way out the next moment.

“Well! How wicked they are! I will not be benevolent to them anymore!” Madam Di cursed. She let go of Qin Yuru’s hand, took out something from under her pillow, handed it to Qin Yuru, and said, “Go to find him. He… he will help you!”
