Chapter 986 Cause and Effect

The couple from the third branch of the Fan family were quite interested in this matter, but since it was their first time making this kind of thing, they were very inexperienced and it wasn't easy for them to fire it.

The third young master couldn't stay at the kiln forever; he had many other things to do. So he gave the blueprints to the foreman and asked him to finish them as soon as possible.

However, his act of kindness attracted the attention of others.

This morning, Ms. Mei brought a few people and said she was going to check on the progress of the latest batch of new porcelain. Their arrival was so sudden that the foreman, who was focused on re-making the blanks according to the dimensions on the blueprints, didn't notice.

When he heard a commotion nearby, Madam Mei had already led her people to him and picked up the blueprints on the table to look at them.

The foreman was one of the third young master's men and knew a bit about the discord within the Fan family. When he saw Madam Mei approaching, he became nervous.

Sure enough, after looking at the blueprints, Madam Mei said, "What kind of nonsense is this? The Fan family supports you so that you can work hard, not take the opportunity to slack off and abuse public resources."

The foreman hurriedly tried to explain that it was ordered by the third young master.

Unfortunately, before he could explain, Madam Mei swiftly tossed the two drawings onto the brazier beside her.

The foreman was shocked and immediately tried to salvage the situation, but after he went around the table, he could only manage to grab one sheet.

Fortunately, only one corner of this one was burned; the image in the middle is still intact.

The next moment, Mei poured a basin of water over her, saying as she did so, "Hey, you're all on fire, don't burn yourself."

The foreman was instantly drenched; the blueprints he was holding were soaked, torn in two, and the patterns on them were blurred.

Both pieces of paper were ruined. The foreman was devastated, but Mei left the kiln with an indifferent expression.

The foreman didn't dare do anything to Madam Mei, so he could only run to the Fan family to find the third young master.

But Madam Mei returned first, probably guessing that he would come, so she had the gatekeeper stop him outside.

Luckily, Xiaoyun happened to be going out when they ran into each other, otherwise they would have been kept in the dark about this.

After hearing this, Xiaoyun naturally didn't care about returning to the Ding family. She hurriedly returned to the Fan family and ran towards Xilan Garden, wanting to tell Ding Yuehua about it.

However, the gatekeeper had already secretly sent someone to tell Madam Mei that the foreman had seen Xiaoyun and that it was unlikely they could stop him.

Therefore, as soon as Xiaoyun passed the hanging flower gate, two maids from Madam Mei's side came to cause her trouble.

Since Madam Mei is acting so blatantly, isn't she afraid that the third branch of the family will find out?

But she had just returned and hadn't had a chance to sow discord between her and her mother-in-law yet. She had to complain first, shifting all the blame onto the third daughter-in-law, and pull her mother-in-law to her side. That way, when the third daughter-in-law came knocking, she might be able to use the excuse to make her stumble.

Therefore, we must first stop Xiaoyun.

This obstruction led to a conflict between the two sides. Xiaoyun had been with Ding Yuehua for many years and was often on the go, so she was in good physical condition.

Not only could the two maids not hold her back, but Xiaoyun also pushed her to the ground.

When Ms. Mei finished applying the eye drops and came over, Xiaoyun had already broken free.

She immediately stepped forward, fell to the ground as Xiaoyun waved her hand, and then, on the grounds that Xiaoyun dared to hit her master, ordered several burly old women to grab her and beat her to death.

Fortunately, there were other people in the courtyard at the time, including the old woman who had come to inform Ding Yuehua.

After hearing the whole story, Shu Yu nodded to indicate that she understood.
