The Fierce Illegitimate Miss - Chapter 53
Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
When Mu Shi heard the report from Mama Cui, her brow furrowed: “What are you talking about? She wants the contracts?”
This girl was really poking a snake with a stick. She “kindly” ordered her girl, and she still wants the contracts? She was really unforgiving!
After gritting her teeth, Mu Shi coldly snorted: “Give them to her!”
So what if she gave her the contracts? Those maids were born in the house, and she can only give her their contracts, but the contracts of the mothers are still in their hands!
Wasn’t it just a few contracts? As long as she could watch Yu Linglong, what was this thing?
As soon as Mama Cui took out the contracts, Mama Qian walked in.
“Madam, the one in the backyard hasn’t rested for several days!”
The one in the backyard was concubine Mei, who was brought back by General Yu from northern Xinjiang. Since that day when she served Mu Shi tea and was snubbed by her, concubine Mei seemed to know that she was not welcome in Yu’s house, so she discreetly and seldomly appeared in front of Mu Shi. Recently, Mu Shi was struggling with the matter of Lord Xu and Yu Linglong, and she couldn’t care for this concubine Mei for a while.
Mu Shi had just pulled out the contracts for nothing. She was in a bad mood. After hearing those words, she asked angrily: “Her? How much trouble can a low-status woman make?”
Mama Qian said: “Madam, the master has been staying with concubine Mei these few days. It is inconvenient to go from the inner yard to the backyard every day. I heard that…”
Mama Qian looked around, and deliberately lowered her voice: “…The women didn’t know what kind of charm she used. It was at night, so that the slaves next door heard it clearly, the activity, tsk—“
Mu Shi was experienced, so how could she not understand what Mama Qian was talking about. She was furious after hearing this: “That shameless little slut!”
Mama Qian also looked contemptuously: “Exactly! She’s a girl from an honorable household, how can she make such a mess!”
Mu Shi thought for a while and couldn’t help but sneer: “She called me to listen to it! Who asked me to arrange the backyard for her? There are people around, so it’s hard not to be heard!”
Everyone was a woman, and concubine Mei was so careful, but how could she hide from Mu Shi. Concubine Mei was just thinking that her yard was not good, and she wanted to live in the inner courtyard of the Yu Mansion and become the decent leader of the Yu Mansion.
She originally thought that if the woman was not admitted into the mansion, the master would not go too close to her. Who knew that General Yu would rather make trouble and even go to concubine Mei’s yard every night.
Mama Qian said: “The master has been visiting the backyard every day for the past few days. It is too troublesome. The servants and maidservants say that since there is no free yard, we need to build another one for concubine Mei.”
Mu Shi gritted her teeth with anger: “Build a new yard? He is really obsessed with that fox!”
How much money does it cost to build a new yard? General Yu carelessly never knew how to manage the household; he only knew that he wanted to use money and he reached out to Mu Shi to build a yard for concubine Mei. Did he really want to bleed Mu Shi dry again!?
Mu Shi thought for a moment and said, “Where’s concubine Dong, the master hasn’t been to her in the past few days after coming back?”
It stands to reason that concubine Dong was young, and he hadn’t seen her for three years. Why did General Yu only spoil the concubine Mei when he came back, leaving concubine Dong completely behind?
Mama Qian shook her head: “Master came back and only saw Brother Yuan twice, and hasn’t even seen concubine Dong once.”
Mu Shi was impatient: “This woman is really useless. I have promoted her in every way. If it weren’t for me, I’m afraid she wouldn’t even have an heir!”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
This concubine Dong was originally Mu Shi’s distant cousin, who was jealous but wanted to earn herself a virtuous status, so she accepted her for General Yu. In terms of her status, concubine Dong was considered a good concubine, but she was cowardly by nature, and usually silent. General Yu, however, had been there a few times after taking the house, and then she was not favored very much.
Mu Shi originally wanted to use concubine Dong to pull General Yu’s heart, but it went against her wish. Now General Yu was fascinated by concubine Mei, so how could he care for the taciturn concubine Dong.
Mama Qian did not dare to say anything when she heard Mu Shi’s words. In the beginning, Mu Shi selected concubine Dong because of her beautiful appearance and soft temper. If she was also a demon with an improper mind, how could Mu Shi tolerate it?
Mu Shi thought for a while. After all, she still had to solve the problem in front of her of concubine Mei, so she said: “If the master sends someone over these few days, just say that I am sick, and I will not see him.”
After pushing for a few days first and then waiting for a while, she naturally had a way to deal with General Yu.
…
Lord Xu did what he said, and the next day, he returned to the Yu house.
However, this time he did not enter the front yard of the drawing-room and went straight into the inner courtyard.
Even more, overstated was that he came on horseback.
If he rode straight in yesterday and it was still bearable, then he was riding a horse in the inner courtyard of the Yu house today, and he was about to make General Yu and Mu Shi collapse.
However, Lord Xu obviously would not consider the feelings of others.
The inner courtyard of the Yu mansion, which had always been quiet, had become a racetrack amidst the sound of the hoofs of Lord Xu.
“Linglong, come out and have a look, what did I bring you?”
Lord Xu wore a moon-white gown, embroidered with flying bamboo leaves with inky thread, and covered with a light blue gauze, with a faint, shiny bamboo leaves, and a crown of jade. He was elegant and handsome and with quite the style of a gentleman.
Under his seat was a silver-white snow horse without a single hair on its body, a gilt bridle, a jade-white saddle, and its silver mane flying in the wind, shining brilliantly under the sun. Like a celestial horse descending to the earth, it was too noble to look at directly.
The person and his horse were extraordinarily handsome, and everyone almost forgot to avoid them and just stood on the road and watched.
Only Yu Linglong’s angry shout made everyone wake up.
“What nerve you have!”
Early in the morning, before she woke up, she was roused by the sound of horse hooves. Who wouldn’t be in a bad mood?
At the door of Pinlan Garden, the humongous hibiscus flowers were in full bloom. Yu Linglong was only wearing a moon-white coat. Her hair was not combed, her face was not washed, her stray hairs were fluffy. She stood at the door like a white lotus that just bloomed, looking delicate and elegant.
Lord Xu stared blankly at her and tightened the rein in his hand unconsciously. He rolled over, got off his horse, and walked towards Yu Linglong.
“Linglong, look, what do you think about this horse?”
With a smile in his eyes, he looked at Yu Linglong steadily. At this moment, Lord Xu looked like a child, waiting eagerly for the adult’s praise.
However, such eyes could not attract Yu Linglong’s sympathy and appreciation.
“About what? Do you know what time it is?”
Yu Linglong gritted her teeth and looked at Lord Xu with a look of hatred.
Didn’t he know that she was always grumpy in the morning? If he woke her up any earlier, she would have ordered people to take him out and kill him!
The complacency on Lord Xu’s face was swept away, and he touched his horse’s mane with a gloomy expression and said, “Remember the first time I saw you? You took my Zhui Yue. I thought you liked horses, so I deliberately picked this Tianshan white horse to give it to you.”
Zhui Yue? Yu Linglong thought for a moment before remembering that horse. It was called Zhui Yue?
That poor generation of famous horses. After being snatched by Yu Linglong, she threw them to the grooms in the Yu house. Now they were still lying in the manger only eating and sleeping and putting on weight.
Glancing at the dazzling white Tianshan horse, Yu Linglong said angrily: “I don’t like horses!”
This time, she didn’t even bother to talk about it and closed the door directly.
Lord Xu stood there for a moment, and said loudly: “Linglong, you are waiting for me, I will definitely find something you like!”
Behind the closed door, quietly, no one paid any attention to him. Only the hibiscus flower by the door, swaying in the wind, seemed to laugh at his selfless love.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
