Aunt Liu thought about it carefully and realized that when she told the master about seeing the good-for-nothing when she went to the old lady's place last time, the master did not curse her with disgust as he used to.
I heard that the master visited that good-for-nothing at Xueyuan Garden a couple of days ago. Mu Xue's guess was probably right; the good-for-nothing is no longer good-for-nothing. Gritting her teeth, she cursed viciously, "Damn it, it seems we've all been fooled by that good-for-nothing. She's not stupid at all."
"I never imagined she could endure for so many years. I really underestimated her." Qian Muxue tugged at the silk handkerchief in her hand with dissatisfaction, wondering if she had been tricked in the palace that time.
A glint of malice flashed in Aunt Liu's eyes, but it was quickly masked by her confidence: "So what if she has spiritual roots? She's an ugly hag who was jilted by the Crown Prince because of a scandal. The higher the Qian family praises her, the harder she'll fall later."
“My lord, that is true, but we still have to be careful,” Granny Zhang kindly advised.
"That's for sure. By the way, has Xiaoqun been dealt with properly?" Aunt Liu suddenly remembered the girl named Xiaoqun.
Granny Zhang made a clicking sound with her mouth, a vicious smile curling at the corner of her lips.
Qian Muxue didn't react much to the news. In her view, servants were still servants; they lived when their masters wanted them to live and died when their masters wanted them to die. Besides, that girl had caused Yingxue no shortage of trouble over the years. If it had been a smarter girl, that good-for-nothing might have been tormented to death by Yingxue long ago.
Aunt Liu tugged at her clothes, then remembered something else: "Recently, Master has been spending the night at Aunt Lan's place, and that good-for-nothing Liu is completely useless. Go and tell Liu that if Master isn't kept there tonight, she'll be in for a beating tomorrow. If Master continues to go to that vixen's place, she might rebel."
"I'll go right away!" Granny Zhang replied and withdrew.
The mother and daughter didn't linger and hurriedly returned to their own yard.
Meanwhile, Qian Youxue took her mentally unstable mother to Yiyuan Garden but didn't leave immediately. In Yiyuan Garden, Liuqiu and Chunhua were both by Qian Bowen's bedside, keeping him barely clinging to life.
When Qian Youxue saw Qian Bowen again, her hands trembled slightly. In just a few days, Qian Bowen's face had become so thin he was practically skin and bones, his lips were white, and he looked as if he had been completely drained.
After helping her dazed mother to sit down, she looked at Ryukyu and Haruka and said, "You two should both leave!"
Ryukyu and Chunhua both looked at Su Shi, who was sitting in a chair. Su Shi was exhausted, her eyes were dull, and her heart was aching because of Qian Bowen's matter. She didn't pay any attention to the two of them.
"Get down!" Qian Youxue shouted rudely.
Ryukyu was timid and retreated in a huff after being frightened. Chunhua, on the other hand, stammered awkwardly, "Miss, this servant... this servant will stay and serve you."
"Get lost!" Qian Youxue said curtly.
Chunhua was stunned for a moment. When she met the young lady's gaze, her body trembled. She had never seen such a domineering young lady before. She rubbed her eyes as if she were dreaming. The next moment, she was dragged by Qian Youxue and thrown outside the door.
Bang!
The door slammed shut. Chunhua swallowed hard, pinched her cheek, and murmured in disbelief, "Was that really the eldest daughter of the Qian family?"
"Is...is that right..." Ryukyu also found it very unbelievable. Although he hadn't stayed at the Qian family mansion for very long, the young lady he learned from Granny Yang was ugly and cowardly, which was completely different from what he had just seen.
