The Fierce Illegitimate Miss - Chapter 122

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

A slender and graceful figure walked out, and her long silky and satin-like hair had no decorations, it was just casually draped behind her head. She was wearing a cotton cloak, her face was not powdered, and her face was clear and beautiful. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her beautiful eyes were like clear waves, and her peach cheeks were pinkish red, showing that she had just woken up.

The people present couldn’t help but hold their breath subconsciously. Such a charming girl, even in the dark, was still difficult to look away from.

Yu Linglong’s cherry lips slightly opened, and her voice was like a birdsong: “It’s so late, what’s the matter?”

Seeing that several yamen were so shocked by Yu Linglong’s beauty that they couldn’t speak for a while, Yu Qianyun suddenly burst into flames of jealousy.

Why was this woman so lucky? What good things can she easily obtain?

Thinking that her strategy was about to succeed, Yu Qianyun couldn’t help but step forward and say, “Fourth Sister, don’t worry. I heard that there is a thief in the mansion, so I brought someone to take a look.”

As long as they broke into Yu Linglong’s boudoir and let everyone see that there was a man hidden in her room in the middle of the night, she wouldn’t be able to do it!

Her chilly eyes swept over the group of people behind Yu Qianyun. Yu Linglong’s eyes were like ice ridges, stabbing people with cold and pain.

“You brought so many people here just to take a look?”

The face that was agitated by Yu Linglong’s words turned red, and Yu Qianyun seemed to lower her eyes in fear: “Fourth Sister, I am young and naive. I panicked when I heard that there was a thief, so I went to report to the officials…Fourth Sister, you don’t blame me for being troublesome, do you?”

The dimples appeared at the corner of Yu Linglong’s mouth, but there was no smile in her eyes.

Troublesome? Of course, I won’t blame you for being troublesome, and I would like to thank you for being able to fight such a big battle!

Yu Qianyun was really not a simple woman. She knew that if she only brought the servants in the Yu house to search Pinlan Garden, even if a man was found, Yu Linglong would have a way to suppress the matter, so she just went straight to the officials to make a report and had the government intervene, so that even if Yu Linglong wanted to conceal it, she couldn’t hide her scandal.

Yu Qianyun was really scheming!

Yu Linglong smiled coldly and said, “There is a thief? I’m afraid there is an inside thief!”

Her tone fell heavily on the words “inside thief” and she looked at Yu Qianyun without blinking. The intention in the words was very obvious.

Yu Qianyun’s body shook slightly, but there was no flustered expression on her face. She still looked scared and whispered: “Fourth Sister, let them go in and take a look, so everyone can rest assured.”

Yu Qianyun’s trick was to retreat for advancement, which was quite clever. On the surface, she looked scared, but in fact, she forced Yu Linglong to let the yamen search.

When things reached this point, if Yu Linglong stopped the investigation, it would cause people to be suspicious.

Yu Linglong glanced at Yu Qianyun deeply and said, “There is no one else in my room.”

She would not let them check.

Imperceptible joy flashed across Yu Qianyun’s face. It seemed that the person she arranged had already succeeded. Otherwise, why wouldn’t Yu Linglong let herself be investigated?

Although happy in her heart, her face was full of worries and horror. Her slender figure was trembling slightly, and her voice was trembling: “Fourth Sister was asleep just now, maybe she didn’t hear the movement. In case there is a culprit hiding in my sister’s room, what should I do? Fourth Sister, these people are at the door, so you can let them in and take a look!”

Yu Linglong looked at her pretentious air, secretly laughing. Yu Qianyun, don’t you know that you are already dying!?

Okay, I’ll let you put on a performance, but only one!

Under the bright light of the day, Yu Linglong’s beautiful eyes were sparkling, ​​her pretty face was cold, and she said in a low voice, “What if I don’t let you search?”

Yu Qianyun suddenly raised her head, her big eyes filled with grievances: “Fourth Sister—”

With tears in her eyes, she looked at several bailiffs for help: “Officer, what should I do now? I can’t convince her. Please ask the senior officer to help me persuade Fourth Sister.”

Yu Linglong looked at the scene coldly, with a sardonic smile at the corner of her mouth.

She was making the servants “persuade” her? Would these big men persuade, or just break in without saying a word? Yu Qianyun’s move used her strength to make the officers step forward, and she was really merciless towards Yu Linglong.

After being pleaded with such soft words by the delicate girl, several bailiffs couldn’t help but walk over.

“Fourth Lady, it’s better for you to make it easy. Otherwise, I’m afraid you will be charged with harboring a thief!”

Harboring a thief? It seemed that Yu Qianyun must have greeted these officials before, or why would she just stare at her and refuse to let her go?

A cold smile appeared on her beautiful face. Yu Linglong tightened the neckline of her cloak before opening the door, and said lightly, “Then search.”

Seeing Yu Linglong’s indifferent appearance, Yu Qianyun was panicked for no reason.

What’s the matter, why did Yu Linglong agree to let people in search so easily? Could it be that she was prepared?

No, even if that little boy didn’t succeed, he should come back and report to her. Why was there no movement at all?

Yu Linglong’s boudoir was not big, and there are only a handful of places where people could hide. Before Yu Qianyun could figure out what was going on, a few government officials had already walked out.

“There’s no one inside.”

The four simple words sounded in Yu Qianyun’s ears, but her heart was shocked, and she couldn’t help but step back.

No one? How could it be!? She obviously arranged it…

Ignoring Yu Qianyun’s dumb look, Yu Linglong smiled at several bailiffs, and said, “How troublesome.”

Seeing such a gorgeous smile, the servants only felt shocked all over and lowered their heads subconsciously: “It’s nothing. If we offended the Fourth Lady, please forgive us.”

Yu Qianyun’s smile only lightened their bones, while Yu Linglong’s smile was full of majesty, which made people afraid to offend.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

Before Yu Qianyun recovered from the blow, she heard the voice of Yu Linglong turning around and said lightly: “Since you’re here, please check carefully. Don’t let the thief get away easily.”

Yu Qianyun raised her head and saw that Yu Linglong had changed her clothes for some time. She combed her hair high up and was holding a hand warmer as if she was going out.

She asked, “Fourth Sister, where are you going?”

Yu Linglong looked back at her, with a faint smile on her face: “Didn’t you say that the mansion was harboring a thief? I’m your elder sister, how can I let my younger sister go forward alone?”

Upon hearing Yu Linglong’s words, Yu Qianyun paled suddenly.

What did Yu Linglong mean? Was she going to check the garden with her?

Things were completely out of her control, and Yu Qianyun was completely blinded by the series of accidents, and she didn’t know what to say for a while.

However, Yu Linglong gave the order and ordered the servants of the Yu house to leave Pinlan Garden together and prepare to investigate the Yu house thoroughly, as if it were normal.

Yu Qianyun could only walk and follow Yu Linglong.

Yu Linglong walked ahead and walked straight to Yu Qianyun’s yard. Seeing that the momentum was not good, Yu Qianyun had to bite the bullet and step forward and smiled and asked, “Fourth Sister, what are your plans now?”

Yu Linglong didn’t squint and kept walking. She said as she walked, “You’ve checked my yard. Of course, I’m going to check my sister’s yard. Otherwise, if the thief is hiding in your yard, isn’t my sister in danger?”

The words were high-sounding, but in Yu Linglong’s tone, she couldn’t hear her care for Yu Qianyun at all, but it was full of cold chills.

Hearing Yu Linglong’s words, Yu Qianyun only felt that her scalp was tingling faintly, and an ominous premonition rose from her heart. She couldn’t explain the feeling but subconsciously felt that something unknown was about to happen.

But when things got to this point, she wanted to stop Yu Linglong from going to search her yard, but she couldn’t find any excuses.

Forget it, she would let her check it out. Anyway, her room was clean and there was nothing shameful.

Yu Qianyun thought things were too simple. She thought that because she took people to search Pinlan Garden in the middle of the night, she also took people to search her yard in revenge. Yu Qianyun was naive. She thought that as long as Yu Linglong searched her yard and relieved her anger, this matter would be considered to be over.

After all, she still didn’t understand Yu Linglong. Yu Linglong’s principle was, if you dare to cheat me, I’ll cheat you to death!

In a blink of an eye, the group of people arrived at Yu Qianyun’s yard. Because Yu Qianyun wanted to find Yu Linglong at fault, she was afraid that the servants in the house were afraid of Yu Linglong so they would not dare to do it, so she took all the servants to her yard but only a woman with bad legs stayed and looked after the yard.

When she arrived at the gate of the yard, she saw that the gate was vacant, and there was no movement in it.

Yu Qianyun ordered her personal maid to open the gate, but she stepped aside, apparently letting everyone go in.

This was also to signal to everyone that she was innocent, had nothing, and was not afraid of people coming to investigate.

Yu Linglong smiled coldly and led the crowd into the yard.

A woman had brought chairs for the two young ladies. Ling’er laid a thick pad on top and let Yu Linglong sit down.

Yu Linglong sat upright on the chair, holding the hand warmer, and smilingly said to the bailiffs: “How did you search my yard? Search here now, but don’t forget anything because of the Fifth Sister’s kindness.”

This was very meaningful. Yu Qianyun’s face turned red involuntarily, and she whispered: “Fourth Sister is teasing me.”

She also knew that Yu Linglong was easy to provoke, and she led someone to search her yard. How could she give up? It would be better to let her search, let her joke, and swallow her own words.

Anyway, she had endured it for so many years, how could she make a mistake?

After listening to Yu Linglong’s words, the several bailiffs were no longer polite and immediately went into each room to search.

They didn’t find anything in Pinlan Garden just now, so naturally, they wanted to take the opportunity to find something. They searched them very carefully. They wanted to find some clues, so they didn’t come here in the middle of the night for nothing.

Seeing Yu Linglong’s indifferent and calm face, Yu Qianyun’s heart jumped wildly for no reason. A strong anxiety enveloped her heart, making her panic.

Why was Yu Linglong so calm? Could it be that something had been arranged long ago…

As if responding to her doubts, a voice rang abruptly, cutting through the quiet night sky of the Yu house.

“What’s this!?”

Everyone followed the voice, only to see a few bailiffs pull out from the woodshed and a few well-wrapped people and threw them in the middle of the yard.

Yu Qianyun was shocked suddenly. What was going on, and where did these people come from?

The servants were very proud of their efforts, and their shouts were full of majesty. They shouted to the shivering few people on the ground: “Who are you? Tell us the truth!”

Under the bright light of the fire, the eyes of everyone gathered on these few people. They were all dressed in the costumes of the Yu house servants. They were all seventeen or eighteen years old. Their faces were fair and handsome. They all had a look of panic, as if terrified.

One of them raised his eyes to look at Yu Qianyun and struggled to crawl towards her. His pleading voice already had a few tears: “Fifth Lady, please spare the little one, I wouldn’t dare! Fifth Lady—”

Yu Qianyun was shocked by the sudden change, and she subconsciously got up and avoided the man’s hand. She trembled and said, “Who…who are you? I don’t recognize you…”

The young man seemed to be taken aback, but the reaction was extremely quick: “Fifth Lady doesn’t recognize me? Then…then you will show compassion and let the little one go!”

Yu Qianyun said blankly: “Let you go?”

As soon as the words were spoken, the servants on the side immediately shouted: “You can’t let them go!”

A servant came over, staring at Yu Qianyun with suspicion, and said loudly, “Why are these people here? Please give me an explanation, Fifth Lady!”

Yes, for an unmarried lady, how could there be men in her yard and these people were still tightly tied up, making it even weirder.

Facing the questions of the bailiffs, Yu Qianyun trembled slightly in fright. Her eyes looked at the people around for help, as if she wanted to find the answer from their faces.

But no one can answer her, and all the faces were surprised or scared.

Yu Qianyun finally came back to her senses when she met Yu Linglong’s sharp eyes.

Her heart immediately seemed to fall into the abyss, full of great despair.

It was Yu Linglong, it must be that Yu Linglong framed her!

How could she be so stupid that Yu Linglong led someone to search her yard? She should have thought that she wanted to plant and frame her. How could Yu Linglong easily let her go?

Everything that happened in front of her made Yu Qianyun’s feet numb, but the matter was not over yet. Several women walked out of Yu Qianyun’s boudoir, holding plates in their hands, and presented them to Yu Linglong.

“For the Fourth Lady, the servants found these things in the Fifth Lady’s room, please look at them.”

Yu Linglong only lowered her eyes and glanced, and immediately, as if being burned by the fire, she pushed the plate away, and said sharply on the side, “What kind of filthy thing is this? Why do you bring it to me!? “

With this push, she overturned everything on the plate to the ground, and in the bright fire, the things lay bare on the ground in front of everyone.

With this look, there was a contemptuous gasp in the crowd.
