Chapter 119 Meeting Aunt Yao
"Just look at Yunzha, Wuyue and Ah Man and you will know that the Third Miss treats them kindly and warmly. She is not a cold person. Today, the Third Miss asked us to see Yuxiang's true face. Besides warning us, she may also want to keep us here. You should also control your temper in the future. The master is the master. We cannot influence his decision. You should do your job well and be loyal to the master. Whether your life is easy or not is not the point, but at least you should not follow in Yuxiang's footsteps."
Hongyin nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice: "Got it. I'll listen to you from now on."
The sky was grey, with a hint of light barely visible.
Ah Man took Yu Xiang's body away. A faint smell of blood floated in the flower hall. Lu Xiang sat in a chair in a daze, holding a cup of hot tea.
Yunzha and Wuyue stood behind her, exchanging eye contact, wondering if the young lady was in such a daze because she felt uncomfortable about the execution of Yuxiang?
"Miss, Yuxiang brought this upon herself. Her death is not a pity. You don't have to feel pressured." Wu Yue thought for a moment and spoke to comfort her.
Lu Xiang gave the two of them a warm smile: "Yeah, I'm fine." Her first belief after her rebirth was revenge, so she didn't care about the blood on her hands.
"I'm wondering, are Yuxiang and Aunt Yao stupid, or is there someone behind Aunt Yao who is directing her that I don't know about?"
Yun Zhai tilted his head and looked at Lu Xiang in confusion: "What does this mean?"
Lu Xiang put down the teacup, frowned and expressed his doubts: "Yuxiang said that Aunt Yao promised her that she would become my father's concubine after the matter was completed, but Aunt Yao didn't think that if I died, the queen would no longer care about the life and death of the Lu family, and the Liu family would fight against my father. Maybe my father would be dismissed from office in the end. How could the Lu family be rich at that time? Being my father's concubine would not be a blessing but a hardship."
Wu Yue seemed to have figured something out, and clapped her hands and said, "So Aunt Yao dared to promise Yuxiang, she must be sure that even if the young lady didn't get the Queen's protection, the master would be fine. If this is true, the people behind Aunt Yao must be very powerful."
"That's what I mean, but I'm sure Aunt Yao didn't have such ability in the past. The person behind her must have contacted her after she came to the capital."
The more Lu Xiang thought about it, the more confused she became, because such a thing had never happened in her previous life, so she had no idea where to start.
Who would keep an eye on the Lu family?
Was the man who instigated Aunt Yao just competing against her, or against the entire Lu family?
Lu Xiang seemed to be trapped in a mystery, and was becoming more and more confused.
Yunzha looked at Wuyue, then at Lu Xiang, and finally asked, "Does that have anything to do with Aunt Liu?"
"No." Lu Xiang said, "Now Liu hates me to the core. She is definitely involved in this matter. Let's not think about it for now. Let's go back to sleep and get enough rest. We will go meet Aunt Yao tomorrow."
"Well, Miss, go to bed quickly. I will wait for A'man to come back." Wu Yue said.
Aunt Yao woke up in the morning and was about to get up from bed when she felt someone lying next to her. She turned around in confusion and heard a scream that resounded throughout the Pear Courtyard. Aunt Yao fell off the bed, staring at the bed in fear...
Mother Zhou pushed the door open and walked in: "Auntie, what happened?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the person on the bed. He was so scared that his pupils constricted and his neck seemed to be strangled by someone and he couldn't breathe.
There was a corpse lying on Aunt Yao's bed, with its eyes wide open as if it had died with its eyes open. Its face looked like it had been bitten by something and was completely unrecognizable. It was almost impossible to see its appearance, but Aunt Yao vaguely guessed the man's identity by his figure and the clothes he was wearing.
"Is it...Yuxiang?"
Aunt Yao said with a trembling voice, her heart beating violently due to excessive fear, and every beat was like a thunder drum hitting down heavily.
"How could it be?" Mother Zhou murmured in disbelief: "Yuxiang is dead?"
And her body was still on Aunt Yao's bed. Who was it? Who put it in there?
“Ugh… ugh ugh ugh…”
Aunt Yao dry-retched and bent her body like a shrimp. The moment she thought of having slept in the same bed with Yuxiang's corpse, she felt nauseous.
He killed Yuxiang and placed her body on her bed. Aunt Yao couldn't think of anyone else who could have done this except Lu Xiang.
It actually failed?
Lu Xiang was really lucky. This couldn't kill her. Not only that, but she was able to find Yu Xiang. She even used some unknown means to expose her from Yu Xiang's mouth.
If Lu Xiang doesn't die this time, it will be more difficult for her to take action again after she has been alert.
Aunt Yao was suddenly filled with hatred and fear.
Aunt Yao's screams soon attracted other maids in the Pear Courtyard. When they saw Yuxiang's horrible body lying on Aunt Yao's bed, their faces turned pale with fright.
In less than an hour, this incident spread throughout the Lu Mansion like a gust of wind, and the servants were talking about it.
"Have you heard that a body was found on Aunt Yao's bed?"
"Yes, I heard that it was Yuxiang from the Third Miss's courtyard. She died suddenly in Aunt Yao's bed for some unknown reason."
"The maids in the Pear Courtyard said that Yuxiang died in a very tragic way. Was it Aunt Yao who killed her?"
"That's impossible. Aunt Yao killed someone and put the body on the bed to sleep with her. How perverted is that?"
"I heard that Yuxiang's face looked like it was bitten by something and was unrecognizable. Who would have such a big hatred for a maid?"
"Strange, does this person have a grudge against Yuxiang or Aunt Yao?"
When Lu Xiang arrived at the Pear Courtyard, the whole courtyard was shrouded in a gloomy haze, and the maids all looked terrified and absent-minded.
Yuxiang's body was disposed of. When she passed by Aunt Yao, her pair of wide-open eyes stared at her, frightening her so much that she lost her soul and her face turned pale.
At this moment, Aunt Yao was asking people to dismantle her bed. Otherwise, how strong would she have to be to be able to sleep on it without paying any attention?
In the warm room, Aunt Yao was sitting cross-legged on the couch wrapped in a blanket, looking dazed.
"Aunt, the third young lady is here." Mother Zhou walked in and said.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Yao suddenly looked up like a frightened bird and shouted, "Who did you say is here?"
Mother Zhou also looked unhappy: "Aunt, it's the Third Miss."
"No, I won't see her. Tell her to go away." Aunt Yao said sternly.
What was Lu Xiang doing here at this time? Anyway, it was definitely not a good thing. Aunt Yao didn't want to see her at all, let alone admit that when she heard Lu Xiang's name at this moment, she couldn't help but feel scared.
But before Mother Zhou could go out and ask Lu Xiang to leave, she saw Lu Xiang walking into the room and saying with a smile, "I came to talk to Aunt Yao with good intentions, why didn't Aunt Yao see me?"
Aunt Yao gasped in fear: "What are you doing here?"
