Chapter 156: Shooting oneself in the foot
Jin Baobao blinked, his eyes moving back and forth between Yu and Wu Da Lian.
"Sister Ruan? Isn't she from the Yu clan?"
Wu Da Lian grinned awkwardly: "Yes, the last name is Yu, Yu Xiaoruan."
Jin Baobao suddenly understood.
Qi Mubai's face turned pale and blue: "Shut up, what are you yelling about?"
Wu DaLian smiled awkwardly: "Okay, okay, I won't call you that. I'll call you Yu, okay?"
Yu Shengsheng raised her eyelids and glanced at Qi Mubai. This embarrassment is your own fault.
After Qi Mubai became more and more unbearable in her eyes, she realized that the so-called arrogance of Qi Mubai was not arrogance at all, but inferiority.
After achieving fame, he was eager to erase everything about his past, including her and his mother.
Unfortunately, Yu was his biological mother, so he couldn’t erase the shame even if he wanted to, and she couldn’t become a noble lady even if she changed into fancy clothes.
Su Huaiyuan said angrily: “Go on!”
Wu Da Lian cleared his throat and said, "It was Ruan... Yu. She asked me to come. She begged me with tears. I saw that she was crying so pitifully, so I came."
Wu Da Lian sighed and looked at Yu, clearly with ill intentions.
"Ever since she was young, she looked pitiful. She cried when she was bullied by Madam Qi, cried when she was hungry, and cried when there was no charcoal in winter. I often helped her because of our good relationship."
"She's quite greedy. When we give her food, she doesn't really care about her son. Shengsheng and my sister-in-law take care of her son the most."
"Tsk," he said with a tsk sound, pouting and looking at Qi Mubai, "But she is lucky, she actually got a top scholar."
Yu came back to her senses from her shock, covered her chest and took a step back: "You! Big Face Wu, you are talking nonsense, who is in love with you?"
Wu Da Lian glared at him, "What? I came here for you and lied to Sheng Sheng against my conscience, and you still want to deny that you are in love with me? You are too heartless, aren't you?"
Yu was so angry that her face turned red, and her fans were a little stupefied: "Bah! Don't you look at what kind of person you are? You are an old scoundrel. Everyone knows you. You eat, drink, gamble, and have sex. And you still want to get close to me? You wish!"
Wu Da Lian also got anxious: "I eat, drink, gamble and whore? That's my own money, I can spend it however I want! Unlike you, who thinks about spending other people's money every day."
"If you hadn't been with me, would I have given you money for nothing? Didn't I buy you rouge and handkerchiefs? Oh, it was you who begged me to have sex with you! If I hadn't touched you, would I have known that you had a red birthmark on your butt?"
"Just tell me, is there one?"
Yu was stunned and speechless: "How do you know..."
Before he could finish his words, Qi Mubai gritted his teeth and shouted, "Shut up!"
Yu came back to her senses and grabbed his arm: "No, son, don't listen to his nonsense. I didn't. How could this be possible? He is not a handsome young man. He is old, ugly and poor..."
Qi Mubai shook his hands vigorously: "Stop talking!"
"Isn't that embarrassing enough?"
Yu shut her mouth awkwardly and dared not say another word.
Yu Shengsheng seemed to be smiling, which made Yu want to say something but dare not. She could only stare at her angrily.
Qi Mubai took a deep breath: "Shengsheng..."
"Princess Ruiyang," Yu Shengsheng interrupted him, "Call me Princess Ruiyang. We are not that familiar with each other."
Qi Mubai gritted his teeth and said, "Princess Ruiyang, Wu Da Lian is a scoundrel. It is true that his words have flaws, but they are not all lies."
"So, what the top scholar meant is that the part about my background is true, but the part about my affair with your mother is false and unbelievable, right?"
The sarcasm in Yu Shengsheng's tone was not concealed at all, and it was clearly heard by everyone.
Ruan Jing chuckled: "As expected of the number one scholar, he really knows how to choose. The bad things are for others, and the good things are all for himself."
Su Huaiyuan stretched out his hand and the guard handed the whip back to him.
Su Huaiyuan said nothing, but swung his hand and whipped Wu Da Lian mercilessly.
The light swept across his cheek and landed on his shoulder, leaving a red mark on his face with tiny blood beads oozing out. The skin on his shoulder was torn, his clothes were torn, and blood was gushing out.
His whip is not an ordinary horse whip. It can be used on the battlefield to take people's lives.
Just this one hit, Wu Da Lian screamed and almost died from the pain.
"Ah!" He fell to the ground, his whole body drenched in cold sweat.
Yu's face turned pale instantly and she shuddered with fear.
Su Huaiyuan retracted the whip and prepared for the second whip.
"I will only ask once. Tell me, who sent you here?"
Wu Da Lian has now lost six of his seven souls and has only a trace of consciousness left.
"I am……"
Yu Shengsheng's heart slowly began to lift - she knew it as soon as Wu Da Lian arrived in Beijing.
Ever since Jin Baobao came back from outside and told her that he heard Qi Mubai sent someone back to Beijing to pick up Yu, she knew that things were not that simple.
She asked Jin Baobao to take a letter to Shopkeeper Song, asking for his help in exchange for repairing a painting and to find out about the Yu group.
Shopkeeper Song was thoughtful and careful in his work. As soon as Yu and his companions arrived in Beijing, he wrote a letter to inform her and also made a detailed list.
Wu Da Lian was among them.
Yu Shengsheng realized in an instant that the biggest threat was not the Yu family in the open, but Wu Da Lian, who was hiding in the team and came to Beijing in the name of a servant of the Qi family.
However, Yu Shengsheng knew Wu Da Lian very well and knew of his numerous shortcomings.
So, she gave Jin Baobao ten taels of silver and a pill, and used both kindness and force to make Wu Da Lian "expose" her first, and then he changed his confession on the spot, saying that he was coerced.
Once it is proven and then refuted, his words can no longer be trusted.
As for Yu, Yu Shengsheng never took her seriously.
But unexpectedly, when it came time to refute the evidence, Wu Da Lian's story changed, and it became that he had an affair with Yu. Although it was more unexpected and had a better effect, it was made up after all. What if he couldn't stand it...
Yu Shengsheng was also very nervous. If Wu Da Lian couldn't bear it and gave her away, the situation would completely turn against her.
"Snap!" Another whip.
Wu Da Lian howled and rolled on the ground.
"Speak!" Su Huaiyuan shouted angrily.
Wu Da's face was in so much pain that tears and snot flowed down his cheeks. He pointed at Yu with trembling fingers, "It's...it's her, it's her."
"Yu Xiaoruan, you've f*cking killed me, say something!"
"She was having an affair with me, and I still have things she gave me."
Su Huaiyuan gave a look and his personal guards came forward to search him.
Soon, a pink silk handkerchief was found with a small red fish embroidered on the corner.
When Yu saw the handkerchief, she was so frightened that she kept swallowing.
Su Huaiyuan pointed his whip at her and asked, "Is it you?"
Yu shuddered: "Ah? I... am... but..."
She spoke incoherently and pulled Qi Mubai to block her: "Son, go ahead."
Su Huaiyuan looked directly at Qi Mubai: "Qi Zhuangyuan, it can't be you, right?"
Yu Shengsheng looked at Qi Mubai's face which was gradually turning pale and let out a breath.
It must be a very uncomfortable feeling to shoot yourself in the foot.
