Chapter 250 Chaos (Part 1)

When Amber followed in, Binju and Mother Tao had already entered the inner room together.

"Madam, Sister Dongqing..." She said hurriedly, and when she looked up, she saw Shiyi Niang, her eyes were already filled with tears.

Eleventh Lady stood by the window, her back straight, her eyelids slightly drooping with a faint smile on her face. When she heard the noise, she raised her eyelids and looked over. It turned out that her bright and gentle eyes were filled with sorrow and sadness.

Bin Ju was heartbroken.

When she was a child, she would pinch her nose and drink medicine, then blink her eyes and comfort her, "Don't worry, don't you have candy every time?"; when she moved to Luyun Building, Shi Niang was making a lot of noise upstairs, she would pull her dress with her little hands and say, "Don't worry, I have everything she has, and she doesn't have everything I have, don't you allow me to lose my temper?"; later, Yao's mother wanted to force Dong Qing to marry her nephew, and the lady pushed the marriage with the help of the first wife, which offended Yao's mother. They were worried that Yao's mother would retaliate, but she looked at them and smiled, "Don't worry, she has a plan, and I have a way to get over the wall"... It was so difficult and so painful, but her eyes were bright and happy. But now... She couldn't help but look at Dong Qing, and saw her kneeling at Shi Niang's feet, twisting her body and looking at her in surprise.

My appearance only surprised Dongqing...

She looked at Dong Qing in shock. Her heart was like a raging sea, filled with sadness and anger, with nowhere to vent her anger. She pulled Mother Tao's clothes tighter and her eyes fell on Mother Tao angrily: "Madam, it's her. She is the one who is talking nonsense, so Sister Dong Qing..."

Mother Tao smiled coldly in her heart, but her face showed an angry expression. She pushed Binju away fiercely, took a few steps forward and knelt in front of Shiyi Niang: "Madam, you have to make the decision for me?" As she said, she took out a handkerchief and began to wipe the corners of her eyes, "I respect Miss Binju as your personal servant." She only mentioned Binju and not Amber. First, she knew that there was always a little awkwardness between Binju and Amber, and second, she didn't want to expand the attack surface. Cause everyone to attack. "Who knew that she would spit blood. Say that I instigated Miss Dongqing to fight for the title of the Marquis's concubine. Madam, no matter how foolish I am, I have been working for the eldest aunt for more than 20 years. I would not be so foolish as to not distinguish between superiors and inferiors and interfere in Madam's affairs..."

Binju was pushed by her and staggered. If Amber hadn't come in from behind and quickly helped her, she would have fallen to the ground.

She was so angry that her face turned red when she saw that Mother Tao not only refused to admit her mistake but also pushed her into the position without hesitation.

Seeing how Tao's mother talked, she felt that Dong Qing was deceived by her. Before Tao's mother could finish her words, she jumped up and interrupted her: "You said you didn't instigate Sister Dong Qing, then let me ask you, what did you say to her after I left the house?"

Mother Tao was waiting for these words.

He looked up at Shiyi Niang and said, "Madam, you won't believe anything I say. Fortunately, Miss Dongqing is here. Why don't you ask Miss Dongqing what I said to her?"

A trace of panic flashed across Dongqing's face, and the corners of his mouth twitched, but he remained silent.

Bin Ju was extremely anxious and a little uneasy. She knelt down beside Dong Qing and said, "Sister, you have nothing to be afraid of with Madam here. Just tell us the truth. Madam treats us differently. Look, she spent 100 taels of silver on the box she bought for your marriage..." She just hoped that Dong Qing would say something.

Amber's heart was moved when she heard this.

If Dong Qing put all the blame on Mother Tao at this time, then, then... wouldn't it not only resolve the current embarrassing situation but also drag Mother Tao into the water.

A thought flashed through her mind, and she knelt down beside Dongqing and advised her: "Sister Dongqing, there are no outsiders here. What is there to be ashamed of? " While she spoke, she winked at Dongqing.

Mother Tao, who was kneeling in front of Amber, saw everything clearly. She gritted her teeth and cursed Amber in her heart, "little whore", but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She interrupted Amber and asked Shiyi Niang directly, "Madam, you asked me to ask Miss Dongqing if there is anything else she wants, and you can add it when the time comes. Have I ever lied?"

When Amber and Binju saw Mother Tao talking to Shiyi Niang, they quickly changed the subject.

Ever since she saw Mother Tao, Shiyi Niang's mind has been buzzing with confusion.

Dong Qing was changing day by day, she could feel it. But when she thought of the love between them, she would hesitate for a moment. She hoped to find a good husband for her and marry her off in a grand manner. When she lived a comfortable life, some obsessions would gradually fade away. She pretended not to know and made the two of them happy.

But changes always happen faster than planned. It is better to fail at the last hurdle.

When Dongqing knelt in front of her, she imagined many scenarios and even asked herself what she had done wrong. But she never thought that Mother Tao would be involved. You know, she had mentioned to Amber and Dongqing many times that Mother Tao was Yuanniang's person and that there was an irreconcilable conflict between them, so they should stay away from Mother Tao. How could Dongqing... and how could she...

Looking at the messy scene in front of her, she felt her blood boiling and her ribs aching slightly.

"Mom is right. It was indeed me who asked you to show Dongqing her dowry list." Eleventh Lady raised her head and said.

She wanted to know what tricks Mother Tao had used to make Dong Qing come to her without caring about anything and recommend herself to her. You could hear a pin drop in the room. Amber and Binju looked at Mother Tao with wide eyes. Mother Tao wiped her eyes, but she didn't think so in her heart. You want to catch me, but there is no way.

She turned to Amber and asked, "You were talking to the lady just now. Am I right?" The hint to Dongqing was so obvious, but Dongqing remained silent, clearly not giving up. Amber felt a little cold and nodded silently.

Mother Tao asked Binju again, "I went to look for Miss Dongqing and knocked on the door a few times, but no one answered. I heard laughter coming from your place, so I was going to ask you to help pass on a message. It turned out that Shuangyu had called Miss Dongqing. I said that Amber was talking to the lady." She looked at Amber, "Is this true?"

Without waiting for Amber to answer, she turned to Binju and said, "I said that the eldest lady wanted to pick a few more from Shanhu for the Marquis to choose from." She looked at Shiyi Niang, "I didn't lie. If you don't believe me, you can ask Fifth Aunt."

Then she looked at Binju, "The dowry list is lost, come with me to look for it. I said one thing when I left the house." She looked at Shiyi Niang, "I said 'what a pity' to Miss Dongqing. Apart from these three words, I didn't say any more." Then she swore, "If I say one more word, I will not die a good death. I will be struck by lightning while sitting in the house, or I will be hit by a car while walking on the road..."

Eleventh Lady couldn't help but look at Dongqing.

She lowered her head and her tears fell on the blue stone bricks, leaving water stains on them.

"What a pity!" Eleventh Lady murmured these three words with a smile on her lips. She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, feeling cold from her fingers to her heart.

One word "what a pity" wiped out their five-year friendship. One word "what a pity" aroused the desire dormant in her heart. One word "what a pity" made her cut off all her escape routes and disregard everything else...

"What a pity!" Eleventh Lady smiled, and for the first time, a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes. "What a pity!"

Amber lowered her head in thought.

Binju screamed in shock: "Impossible, impossible. You are lying! You are lying!" She went to pull Dongqing: "Sister Dongqing, say something! Say something!" She was so anxious that tears were about to come out.

Holly knelt there stupidly, not moving at all.

Mother Tao saw a hint of smile in her eyes. Then her expression became serious and she said to Shiyi Niang in a serious tone: "Madam, I am speaking from the heart. I really think it is a pity for Miss Dongqing to marry Wan Daxian." She glanced at Amber and Binju and said, "I am not afraid of offending the girls - Miss Amber is both talented and beautiful, but unfortunately she is too opinionated; Miss Binju is gentle and generous, but unfortunately she is too honest. Only Miss Dongqing. Not only is she outstanding in appearance, but she is also gentle in nature, and she is in the prime of her life..."

"Mother Tao!" Eleventh Lady interrupted her and said quickly, "Bin Ju was wrong in this matter. Now that everyone has talked it out, it's all right. You can go down and rest first!"

Mother Tao was unhappy when she saw that her tone was full of protectiveness. But she was secretly delighted when she thought that her goal had been achieved. She showed some apology on her face: "Madam, you really embarrass me by saying this..."

Eleventh Lady didn't want to hear any more from her, so she waved her hands and said, "Mom, go down and have a rest!"

Mother Tao bowed and left.

Binju rushed towards Dongqing and said, "Sister Dongqing, how could you do this? How could you do this? Don't you know who Mother Tao is? She is in the same group as Grandma. How could you listen to her! How could you listen to her!"

Each question was like thunder hitting Eleventh Lady's head. Her legs went weak and she felt dizzy. She staggered back two steps, grabbing the table behind her with her hands before she could stand still.

"Binju, bring a small stool over here for Dongqing to sit down!" She held onto the kang table and slowly sat down beside the kang.

Binju widened her eyes filled with tears, not understanding why Shiyi Niang asked her to bring a stool for Dongqing to sit on, and hesitated for a moment.

When Amber saw it, she immediately stood up and brought a brocade stool to place beside the kang.

Shiyi Niang said softly, "Dongqing, please sit down. I have something to tell you!"

Dongqing hesitated for a while, then lowered his head and sat on the Jinzui stool.

Amber pulled Binju up and stood beside Shiyi Niang quietly.

Shiyi Niang took a deep breath and said, "Dongqing, do you really want to be the Marquis's concubine?"

Holly said nothing, but clasped her hands together on her knees.

Eleventh Lady's heart was moved as she looked at him, and she said, "You know, once you become the Marquis's concubine, we will never be as close as before. Are you still willing to be the Marquis's concubine?"

"No, no." Dong Qing raised his head suddenly after hearing this, "I won't argue with Madam, I will help Madam keep the Marquis in the main house..."

Eleventh Lady shook her head invisibly, her voice as light as the wind: "What if one day the Marquis wants to take you as his concubine and I don't agree?"

Holly was startled.

Eleventh Lady asked again: "What if one day you get pregnant and I don't want you to give birth to the child?"

Holly opened her mouth wide.

Eleventh Lady looked at her with eyes as cold as moonlight: "If that's the case, do you still want to be the Marquis's concubine?"

Dong Qing avoided her gaze, lowered her head and whispered: "But Madam is not that kind of person!"

Eleventh Lady was disheartened, and the tears she had been holding back burst out silently.

"Madam, Madam..." Amber felt sad and started crying with her hands covering her mouth.

Binju was so angry that she couldn't speak, and she walked up and slapped Dongqing in the face.

Dongqing covered her face and looked at Binju in shock.

Binju thought about how she had just asked Mother Tao to confront her in order to defend her...but in the end, it made Shiyi Niang lose all her face.

She hated Dongqing for not living up to her expectations, and she hated herself even more for not having any brains.

He raised his hand and slapped himself.

Amber was shocked when she saw this, and hurried forward to pull Binju: "Don't do this, don't do this..."

The two were just messing around when Xu Lingyi's voice suddenly rang out from inside the room: "What's going on?"
