Seeing her posture, the second wife quickly took two steps back and hugged Yun Jin tightly in her arms.
She glared at Yang Mu'an and shouted, "Yang Mu'an, what are you doing! I'm your mother!"
Upon hearing the words "your mother," Yang Mu'an stopped, and tears streamed down her face.
"My mother?"
The second wife nodded, but before she could even feel smug, Yang Mu'an laughed: "You think you're worthy?"
She didn't know when she was young, but her wet nurse told her everything long ago. Her mother had miscarried during childbirth and her health deteriorated day by day. During that time, the second wife would try to please her mother and her brother by constantly trying to win her over.
Her mother saw this and kept it in mind. Before she passed away, she entrusted Yang Muchen and Yang Mu'an to the Second Madam for upbringing. At that time, the Second Madam was just a maid. It was because she raised the two siblings that she was able to become the Second Madam.
In front of her father, she would treat them very well, spoiling them. But after her father left, she would abandon them and let the maids play with them. Over time, their father came to believe the Second Madam's words without question. Whenever Yang Mu'an said anything bad about the Second Madam, he would be scolded by his father.
She gritted her teeth and looked at the second wife, saying each word slowly and deliberately, "Ding Huizhen, I, Yang Mu'an, will never let you bully me again!"
The second wife rolled her eyes at her: "Yang Mu'an, you better behave yourself or I'll tell your father!"
Yang Mu'an sniffed and said aggrievedly, "Then go tell him!"
As he spoke, he stepped forward once again to snatch the brocade from the Second Madam's hands.
It wasn't that the brocade was that important; it was just that all the grievances she had accumulated had finally caused her to explode.
Seeing that she was determined to seize the cloth and was about to get it, the second wife suddenly threw the cloth into the river next to her.
Yang Mu'an's hand froze, her crimson almond eyes fixed on the Second Madam: "You threw it away?"
The second wife was nothing but a paper tiger, and after being provoked like this, she felt a little guilty. However, she wouldn't back down because of her pride. Despite her lack of confidence, she raised her head and put her hands on her hips like a teapot, saying, "So what if I threw it away?!"
"Then you'd better fish her out!" Yang Mu'an roared and kicked the Second Madam into the river with force.
She knew some martial arts, and the Second Madam, who was completely powerless, had no chance of resisting her.
"Thump!"
The maids around were stunned until they heard the Second Madam's cries for help before they came to their senses.
"Ah! Help! Murder! Cough cough... Please save me!"
She was shouting and thrashing about.
Except for Xiaoqi, all the maids were her people. As soon as they realized what was happening, they rushed outside to call for help.
"Help! The young lady is going to kill the second mistress! Help!"
"Help! Help me! Cough cough cough..."
Hearing the cries for help, Lord Yang quickened his pace and walked inside. When he reached the garden, he saw Yang Mu'an staring at the Second Madam, who was struggling in the river, with bloodshot eyes.
He didn't care about Yang Mu'an anymore and jumped into the river with a "plop" and pulled the second wife out.
The second wife looked at Lord Yang and cried out, "My lord! Waaah! You must do justice for me! Waaah! Mu An is going to kill me!"
