Chapter 68: The Concubine is Tired
Fu Mo said, "So it's not the princess who forced Diao Yu to reveal her identity, but the disciples of Feixue Tower."
"No wonder Diao Yu was willing to give up her identity as Nanny Jiang in order to escape. I guess the threat from Feixue Tower frightened her."
"In this way, all the blocked places are now connected."
Fu Mo said to Yu Lingye, "Your Highness, it seems Miss Fang really didn't know that Nanny Jiang knew Kung Fu."
"It must be a coincidence."
Fang Yilin changed his opinion of Fu Mo.
In the past, she hated Fu Mo for his bluntness, cold temper, and indifference to her.
Now she felt that the outspoken Fu Mo was so cute.
If you look closely, Fu Mo is not bad looking.
With delicate features, cool temperament and upright posture, he stands out among the crowd.
If I have the chance in the future, it would be nice to have him as my lover.
Fu Mo inexplicably felt that he was being targeted by something dirty.
This dirty gaze came from Fang Yilin.
Fu Mo shuddered when he saw Fang Yilin looking at him as if he was looking at a bone.
He silently hid behind Yu Lingye and thought to himself: Is this woman hungry? Why does she look at him as if she wants to eat him? She looks like she has some serious illness. I have to stay away from her.
Fang Yilin's gaze left Fu Mo reluctantly.
"Guard Fu Mo is right, it's just a coincidence."
"Cousin, I swear to God."
"Our Fang family has nothing to do with Jueming Palace. If I tell you anything false, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
After the results came out, the toffee also breathed a sigh of relief.
She said to Yu Lingye, "Ye'er, Mother also thinks it's a coincidence."
"The Six Criminal Division is not a place for people to go. For the sake of my mother, if you want to investigate, do it quietly and don't involve your aunt and Yilin."
Yu Lingye paused for a moment before reluctantly nodding, "I'll listen to Mother."
"My son is not feeling well, so I'm going back first."
Yu Lingye took the "fainted" Xie Yingmian away from the lakeside cottage.
Mrs. Fang seemed to have had all her energy drained away. She leaned limply against Fang Yilin, not even having the strength to move.
The matter was resolved though.
But she was going to give away 70,000 taels of silver for nothing!
She absolutely dared not use all the money in the Fang family's account.
At most, I can spare ten thousand taels.
The remaining 60,000 taels will come from her private money.
Most of the private money she had saved with great difficulty was gone in an instant.
This is digging into her flesh!
Mrs. Fang's heart was pounding with pain.
She covered her chest with her hands, her face pale, as if she would faint at any moment.
The concubine felt a little reluctant.
She sighed: "Sister-in-law, it is better to lose money than to suffer disaster."
"Let this incident be a lesson."
Mrs. Fang's heart was already in great pain.
Hearing this, his anger grew even greater.
"Little sister, you're talking without any hesitation. What do you mean by losing money to avoid disaster? What disaster do I have?"
"Ye'er has such a good relationship with that cripple from the Six Punishments Department. If Ye'er had said a word, that cripple wouldn't have pursued the matter. It's obvious that the matter could have been resolved with just a word, but he insisted on blackmailing me for 70,000 taels."
"I think you and your son are colluding to defraud me of my money."
The concubine looked extremely unhappy.
She found that she couldn't reason with her sister-in-law at all.
My sister-in-law only cares about money and is unreasonable.
The concubine was tired physically and mentally. She had no mood to continue arguing with Mrs. Fang, so she ordered people to send them back to the Fang family.
Mrs. Fang became even angrier.
She was so angry that she jumped up and down: "What does Fang Yingwan mean?"
"Why did she drive us away?"
"We suffered such a huge loss, but instead of offering compensation, she drove us away. She's trying to turn against Tian Gang."
Fang Yilin was annoyed by Mrs. Fang's noise.
She yelled impatiently: "Mom, can you stop talking?"
"Auntie Dowager is the Dowager Dowager. She has a very high status. You repeatedly don't give her face and scold her. What's the point other than angering her?"
Mrs. Fang: "Am I just going to swallow my anger like this?"
Fang Yilin sneered, "Then what do you want to do?"
"Go and make trouble, and continue to annoy Aunt Dowager?"
"Don't you realize that Aunt Toffee has reached her limit?"
"If you continue to do this, what if Aunt Dowager really decides to sever ties with the Fang family?"
Mrs. Fang was unconvinced: "She dares!"
Fang Yilin felt tired of this stupid mother.
"Mom, could you please not offend people the moment you open your mouth?"
"You messed up something you could have easily done."
"Take the seventy thousand taels of silver, for example."
"Let's give the silver to our cousin first. After this is over, we'll humble ourselves to Aunt Dowager, cry our poverty and act pitiful. Aunt Dowager will definitely find a way to compensate us."
"As for you, you just happened to anger Aunt Dowager and made her feel chilled and disgusted."
"People's hearts are cold. Haven't you noticed that Aunt Dowager has become numb to your crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to commit suicide?"
Mrs. Fang wanted to refute.
But she had to admit that her daughter was right.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you and stop making trouble."
"Once the storm has passed, I'll have to make her pay double the 70,000 taels."
…
Tanyue Courtyard.
Yu Lingye put Xie Yingmian back on the bed: "There's no one here, stop pretending."
Xie Yingmian opened her eyes: "If I say that I really slept, would you believe me?"
Yu Lingye: "I believe it."
Xie Yingmian: ...
Yu Lingye successfully killed the conversation.
The painkillers have worn off.
Xie Yingmian felt pain all over her body and was too lazy to move.
She half closed her eyes: "What do you want to ask me?"
"Ask as soon as possible. If it's any later, I'll go to bed."
Yu Lingye: "Where is Diao Yu's body?"
Xie Yingmian: "You don't know?"
"Speaking of which, why did you go to the Lakeside Cottage?"
"How did you find out that Nanny Jiang is the Palace Master of Jueming Palace?"
Yu Lingye: "Answer my question first."
Xie Yingmian was hungry.
She looked at the few pieces of chiffon cake on the low table beside the bed, sat up and took a piece to eat.
"Remember the black medicine bottle I gave Zhou Ying?"
"The poison inside is fatal if it comes into contact with blood, and will turn a corpse into water if it comes into contact with it."
"Diao Yu was poisoned by me, and his body turned into a pool of black blood, which seeped into the soil of the lakeside cottage."
"It's right behind the lakeside cottage. If you want to find it, just dig up the top layer of soil."
"Be careful and try not to touch the scorched earth."
Yu Lingye asked, "Is scorched earth poisonous?"
Xie Yingmian said, "Yes, the toxicity is very weak and can be ignored, but it will still be unpleasant if you get infected."
"If you really want to dig it up, just wait three to five days. The soil will completely purify that little bit of poison."
Yu Lingye: "That poison is so powerful."
Xie Yingmian's voice was vague: "Otherwise, I don't ask for a high price in vain."
"It's your turn now. How did you find Diao Yu?"
Yu Lingye picked up what he could say and said, "After Fu Mo reported your whereabouts to me, I asked Tianjia to catch up and see."
"Tianjia discovered Diao Yu by accident."
Xie Yingmian: "So, the big brother with the golden mask has been nearby?"
Xie Yingmian felt numb.
Since the man with the golden mask is nearby, why doesn’t he take action?
If big brother was willing to help, she wouldn't have to suffer so much in vain.
