Chapter 289 Yu Yin'er's Hatred
Marquis Yongning frowned and strode over to Madam Yu, wanting to examine her neck.
Madam Yu, however, gripped the collar of her dress tightly and glared fiercely at Marquis Yongning. "What are you doing? I am your mother! How can you not believe me but believe a little beast?"
"Mother! Watch your words! She really is my daughter with the Yun family, and also your granddaughter. How can you scold her like that?"
The Marquis of Yongning spoke in a very unpleasant tone.
At this moment, he began to regret why he hadn't listened to Madam Yun's advice and insisted on bringing the old lady back to the capital from her hometown.
Seeing that Madam Yu was about to say something, Marquis Yongning took two steps closer and warned in a low voice, "If Mother doesn't calm down, I'll have someone send her back to her hometown again."
"What, what did you say?" Madam Yu looked at Marquis Yongning in disbelief.
Marquis Yongning, however, nodded solemnly to confirm, "You heard me right. I mean what I say!"
"You..." Madam Yu laughed in anger, "Good, good, very good! This is a better son than mine! This is the filial son that outsiders talk about!"
Madam Yu looked past the Marquis of Yongning and onto the Marquis's wife, Zhen Huan, and Madam Min Qiao behind him.
If it weren't for these people, would her son have treated her like this?
Especially Min Qiao Shi; if she hadn't inexplicably rescued Zhen Huan, Yun Shi wouldn't have opposed her at every turn for Zhen Huan's sake. Even Yu Bin, that useless fellow, started to disagree with her.
Ultimately, it was all Min Qiao's fault!
Sensing the malice in Madam Yu's eyes, Madam Min Qiao glanced at her coldly and said impatiently, "Marquis Yongning, did you invite him here just to watch a show?"
"Why don't you invite this old man to sit down before you watch the show?"
"Don't you know I'm an old man with bad legs?"
"Sigh, it's been so long since I've stood for this long. My legs are sore."
Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Yongning's face flushed red and then turned pale, looking extremely unpleasant.
Poor hospitality leads to unrest in the household; discord arises among mothers and sons, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, and grandparents and grandchildren; elders lack dignity and grandchildren lack respect... If word gets out, the Yongning Marquis's mansion might become the second Xuanping Marquis's mansion!
Lady Yongning quickly replied, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Madam. Since there are no chairs in Shou'an Hall, I think you should come with me and Huanzhen to my place for a while."
“No problem.” Madam Min nodded with a smile. “Let’s go then.”
As they spoke, the group prepared to leave Shou'an Hall.
Madam Yu was furious, but she also knew that the purpose of inviting Madam Min Qiao over today had not yet been achieved. So she glared angrily at Marquis Yongning, signaling him to speak.
Marquis Yongning was extremely embarrassed by Min Qiao's words. Thinking of his mother's unreliability, which had ruined the originally agreed-upon matters and made him lose face, he immediately became angry and remained silent.
Yu Yin'er looked at Madam Yu and then at Marquis Yongning. Seeing that neither of them reacted, she became extremely anxious.
Seeing that Madam Min and her entourage had already stepped out of the main room, Yu Yin'er could no longer care about anything else and didn't even say a word to stop them: "Stop! You can't leave yet!"
Good grief, is this the attitude and tone used to retain someone?
Lady Yongning snorted coldly, and without turning her head, she and Huanzhen helped Madam Min Qiao walk out, one on each side.
Madam Min Qiao naturally wouldn't linger. She truly didn't take Yu Yin'er seriously at all, dismissing her words as utter nonsense.
Seeing that the group was about to leave, Yu Yin'er finally couldn't hold back any longer and rushed out to block their way, saying in a harsh tone, "You're not allowed to leave!"
He really did have a cold look in his eyes, and was about to make a move.
Madam Min Qiao, however, grabbed Zhen Huan's hand and patted it reassuringly before looking at Yu Yin'er, "Miss Yu, you've been in the capital for a while now, haven't you? Why are you still as arrogant as ever?"
"Tsk tsk, with a piece missing from its mouth, how come it still hasn't learned its lesson?"
Just then, Madam Yu also came out. Hearing Min Qiao's words, Madam Yu replied sarcastically, "Speaking of arrogance, who in the whole capital is as arrogant as you, Madam Qiao?"
"Tsk tsk, sons and grandsons are all worthless, even the Crown Prince can be offended, and the old lady of the Minister's mansion can be killed at will!"
Madam Min Qiao turned and looked coldly at Madam Yu, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Madam Yu, do you have any evidence that I killed Old Madam Sun?"
Madam Yu retorted without backing down, "Do we even need evidence? Everyone knows that Old Madam Sun was driven to her death by you!"
"I never imagined I had such power that I could anger a perfectly healthy person to death." Madam Min sneered, her eyes sweeping over Madam Yu with a meaningful look. "Should I perhaps look forward to seeing if I can also anger certain people to death?"
"What do you mean by that?" Madam Yu felt uneasy under Min Qiao's gaze.
“It doesn’t mean anything.” Madam Min Qiao withdrew her gaze, turned around, and ignored Madam Yu.
“Let’s go.” Madam Min Qiao looked at the Lady of Yongning Marquis.
Lady Yongning nodded and looked coldly at Yu Yin'er, "Get out of the way."
Yu Yin'er looked anxiously at Madam Yu at the back of the crowd, her eyes full of pleading.
Madam Yu strode forward and coldly ordered, "Have the doctor who treated Zhen Huan's face come to treat Yin'er tomorrow, and I'll let you leave."
Lady Yongning was about to burst with anger. "What if I say no?"
Madam Yu glanced at Lady Yongning and looked at Madam Min Qiao. "I know that doctor is on good terms with you. She will definitely listen to you. Go and tell her to come and treat Yin'er's mouth wound tomorrow."
Lady Min Qiao echoed Lady Yongning's words, asking in return, "What if I say no?"
Madam Yu threatened fiercely, "This is not up to you! Yin'er's lip is really injured. If you don't take responsibility for healing her, I'll send her to jail!"
Madam Min scoffed, glanced disdainfully at Madam Yu, and turned to look at Marquis Yongning, who was lagging behind in the crowd.
"Leaving aside whether Yu Yin'er's lip injury is real or not, Marquis Yongning, your mother wants to send your daughter to jail, aren't you going to say anything?"
Marquis Yongning gritted his teeth and bowed to Madam Min Qiao, saying, "My mother is confused. Please don't take her words to heart, Madam Qiao."
"However, could you please, Madam Qiao, for my sake, ask that Doctor Mu to treat my daughter?"
Marquis Yongning finally spoke up and revealed his purpose for today.
Yu Yin'er was quite pretty; it's a real shame that her looks have been ruined like this.
"The ladies in the palace have to wait in line to see Doctor Mu. Why should your family cut in line?"
Madam Min Qiao sneered, "Even if I could make an exception for her, why should I help Yu Yin'er and Madam Yu?"
"Just because they're being unreasonable? Or because they genuinely hate me?"
"Everyone knows that you should repay kindness with kindness and evil with evil. Why should I repay evil with kindness?"
Instead of ordering me to help you here, you might as well go to Dr. Mu's clinic and get in line.
Having said that, without further ado, he gave the order: "Let's go."
Just as Madam Yu and Yu Yin'er were about to stop them again, Wen Xiu and Zhen Huan quickly pushed them aside, clearing a clear path for Madam Min Qiao.
Marquis Yongning's face was extremely grim as he watched the departing group.
Before Madam Yu could finish speaking to him, he merely glared at her impatiently and then turned and left.
Meanwhile, Yu Yin'er stared at the direction where Min Qiaoshi and the others had left for a long time, her eyes filled with endless hatred.
If even that ugly woman with the scar could have her face healed, why should she be disfigured?
It was clearly just a matter of saying a few words, so why didn't Old Lady Qiao help her? Why?
