Chapter 156 I’ll Use Horse Tail to Make Hair for You, Mother
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
A cup of hot tea splashed towards Yenhong. “Everyone only wants to climb onto men’s beds. Other than that, what use are you? You can’t even do anything right, but now you come to bother me. What is the use of keeping you cheap wenches?”
Yenhong was inexplicably scolded and suddenly her anger was to the extreme. Cheap wench. Cheap wench. If it isn’t for us cheap wenches, who will do your dirty work for you? You wanted me to poison Liu Yanhong to death last night and frame Xiaojie. Now, you change your tune.
Also, what “climbing onto men’s beds?” Didn’t you do the same? To be your maidservant is eight generations of bad luck. If it’s not being beaten, then it’s being scolded. We don’t have a future with you, so what’s the point?
Look at Xiaojie’s four first-rank maidservants. They live so comfortably. If my parents, younger siblings, and my own slavery deeds aren’t in your hands, I would have switched to Xiaojie’s side already.
Yenhong was splashed by the hot tea and an idea sprouted. She then thought of Wei mama and Liulu who were bedridden and couldn’t move. She felt that her future following Wang Yiping was very bleak.
The two of them were Wang Yiping’s confidants, especially Wei mama. She was Wang Yiping’s nanny and treated Wang Yiping like her own daughter. But what was the result? She suffered forty boards in punishment. Wang Yiping just took one look at them and gave them some ointment.
She wasn’t even willing to invite a doctor for them. Her reason was very sufficient. “You are servants and aren’t qualified to invite an imperial doctor over. Most doctors aren’t working because of the holidays. So, I can only make you two suffer.”
Bullsh*t. Who said that doctors weren’t working? She was just afraid that it coincided with the New Year, so the doctors’ fees would be too high. She was just reluctant to spend more money.
Yenhong was angry, so she turned around and told her mother, Nee Yu, one of the two stewards of the first household’s embroidery rooms, about Wang Yiping’s hair being cut off by a ghost.
Nee Yu looked at her daughter’s blistered face and went to spread the news everywhere, like a broadcaster. Soon, everyone knew about the deceased furen being unhappy with how the current First Furen was treating her daughter. Her ghost came and cut off all of First Furen’s hair in revenge.
Everyone already disdained Wang Yiping. Now, witnessing this current scene, they disdained her even more.
Instead, they really thought that Zi You was really filial and kind. She was bullied by her stepmother like this and still spoke up for her.
Zi You originally wanted to destroy Wang Yiping’s reputation. Now that she had seen the servants’ gazes, she immediately went over to persuade Old General Mu. “Grandfather, on account of You’er, let’s forget about this. Please let father and mother come with us to worship the ancestors.”
Old General Mu did not know Zi You’s real intentions. He saw her being so tolerant and his heart ached even more. He disliked his first son and first daughter-in-law even more.
He reluctantly allowed the two to go inside the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors.
But things were beyond everyone’s expectations. When it was Mu YingRui’s turn to light incense, Dier’s memorial tablet fell over with a “bang” and smashed onto his body.
When it was Wang Yiping’s turn to light incense, the situation was even stranger. Not only could she not light the incense, but the ancestors’ memorial tablets all few down.
Old General Mu originally thought that it was Zi You using her spiritual power, but he looked at her black eyes. They did not turn purple.
Then he suspected that Dier was actually hiding in the ancestral hall. But he and Mu YingYi looked around excitedly and could not find traces of anyone there.
Only Zi You knew that all this was done by Shangguan LingRan. That was because she had seen the little spirit mouse Xiaohui that she had given him nimbly dart by.
Since things were like this, Old General Mu could only coldly say to Wang Yiping and Mu YingRui, “Did you see that? It’s not that I’m heartless, but the ancestors cannot tolerate you. After the Spring Festival, you two move out of the General’s Manor.”
Moving out of the General’s Manor is letting you off too easily. With grandfather’s kindness, he won’t really kick you, slag father, out without anything. If he really gives you money and property, won’t that be letting you gain a cheap advantage? I’m now addicted to playing with you. I can’t easily let you get away.
Zi You immediately knelt in front of the ancestors’ memorial tablets and pled for her parents. “I beg the ancestors to forgive my parents mistakes. Unworthy descendant Mu Zi You is willing to bear all the fault and punishment. I beg you! I beg you……”
She looked very sincere, making Old General Mu very gratified. Even Mu YingRui bowed his head in shame.
Zi You’s forehead was swollen from the kowtowing. Old General Mu couldn’t bear this and pulled her up. He reprimanded Wang Yiping and Mu YingRui, “You have the nerve to have your child take the blame for you? Hurry and apologize to the ancestors.”
So, the two unlucky people knelt for four hours in front of the memorial tablets. When the skin on their foreheads were broken, the ancestors finally forgave them and allowed them to light the incense.
Everything was too easy for Zi You. The caretaker of the ancestral hall was Dier’s loyal supporter.
Zi You made a mark on each stick of incense to signify which would not burn. Others could not see, but Zi You and Ma Daye who proffered the incense could see them clearly.
After Zi You and Shangguan LingRan’s actions, Mu YingRui and Wang Yiping could only pretend to be ill, stay in the fu, and not go outside.
Even when the Emperor invited all his officials, ministers, and their families for a banquet, Mu YingRui and Wang Yiping could only sigh regretfully at the Palace that they couldn’t go to.
The Palace’s banquet on New Year’s was like a modern-day New Year’s visit. Everyone had worked hard for a year. The employer and employees gathered to drink and chat and make merry.
In the ancient times, the Emperor invited his officials to bring their families into the Palace to express his grace. Everyone gathered together as proof of the imperial family’s favor and grace and embodiment of the Emperor’s love for his officials. It also came with the opportunity for all the gongzis and xiaojies to meet.
In her previous life, Zi You was afraid of being ridiculed, so she had listened to Wang Yiping Old’s advice and did not participate a few times.
As a result, Wang Yiping took advantage of the banquets to discredit her. She told everyone that she was too aloof and disdainful.
Instead, Wang Yiping gave people a very good impression of herself. She was generous, virtuous, and kind. When Zi You had no friends and was humiliated in Duke Yongnan fu, no one blamed Wang Yiping.
Now, it was time for Wang Yiping to experience that feeling.
Arguably, Mu YingRui, as a fourth-rank magistrate with a post elsewhere, was not eligible to attend the Emperor’s banquet on New Year’s. But on account of Old General Mu, the Emperor still allowed Old General Mu to bring his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law into the Palace.
Wang Yiping was vain and loved attention. She relied on Old General Mu’s limelight in the previous life to attend prestigious gatherings. Now, Zi You would not let that poisonous woman get even a little bit of benefit from her grandfather.
Thus, when Zi You went to pay respects to Wang Yiping on New Year’s, she looked at Wang Yiping’s tightly wrapped head. She pretended to lament and sighed. “It’s really a pity! It will be great if mother can go to the Palace with You’er today. Unfortunately, You’er cannot stay with you today. The Emperor’s imperial edict commanded You’er to bring the female medical team into the Palace.”
Wang Yiping was immediately so angry that her liver hurt. The regret on Zi You’s face didn’t seem to be fake, but Wang Yiping was certain. She was certain that Zi You came to deliberately annoy her.
Zi You could clearly see the insidiousness and ruthlessness in Wang Yiping’s eyes. As she was feeling refreshed, she didn’t forget to ruthlessly stab a knife into Wang Yiping’s bleeding heart.
“Mother, why don’t You’er use hair from a horse’s tail to make you a wig? Hair from a horse’s tail is a bit coarse, but it’s long enough. If you wear it at night with some hairpins, maybe no one will notice. How about You’er go cut some horse hair now to try?”
Wang Yiping was so angry that she almost spat out blood. She strongly suppressed the fishy sweetness in her mouth. She lifelessly said, “There’s no need. Go and get ready. I’m not feeling well. I want to be alone.”
“Oh. Then you have a good rest. Daughter will take her leave.” Zi You hid her smile and left.
Back at Hundred Herb Garden, Zi You laughed heartily. Her laughter startled even the sparrows and other birds that she was raising.
There were parrots, songbirds, swallows, magpies, and eagles.
Unfortunately, among these animals that could psychically communicate with her, she lacked a gyrfaclcon that she really wanted.
Shangguan LingRan had said that he would send her a special gift. She didn’t know whether it would be a gyrfalcon.
The trip to the Palace today shouldn’t be lonely. After Wang Yiping released some news, she immediately sent Wei mama out to contact Bai Yiniang and Nee Chen. Bai Yiniang immediately contacted Shangguan Lingluo.
Haha…… It would be fun today. Let’s prepare. She couldn’t let these people who schemed against her be disappointed.
Zi You made preparations and gave orders to Weishali and the other spirit pets that could psychically communicate her. Then she returned to Youran Ju and began to get dressed.
When everything was ready to go, Old General Mu sent Wanshu over to see if she was ready.
Zi You draped on a white fox cloak and smiled. “I’m ready. Let’s go.”
Wanshu looked at Zi You and was shocked. She looked foolishly and exclaimed, “Xiaojie, you’re really becoming more and more beautiful!”
This was sincere praise from her heart. She felt that Xiaojie had been secretly going through changes.
Especially those eyes. They were like a pool of deep well water. They could absorb people’s souls.
Her elegant and refined temperament was also unforgettable. She was like a detached and quietly blooming lotus.
Wanshu was amazed, not to mention the forty-six members of the female medical team.
When Zi You was with them usually, she wore the same altered male military uniform.
They didn’t wear a dress with the long robe, but army pants underneath. It was paired with standard black moccasin boots.
