The Fierce Illegitimate Miss - Chapter 91

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Yu Qianyun’s affairs were not a secret in the Yu house, so in the evening, Ling’er heard the news and returned to report to Yu Linglong.

It turned out that Yu Qianyun was only a few months younger than Yu Linglong. Her biological mother was Lady Yu’s personal maid. Later, she was given to General Yu to give her a room. It stands to reason that this kind of maid would be helped when she was pregnant. Being a daughter of a commoner, Yu Qianyun’s biological mother also had the backing of Lady Yu. It was a certainty to help her aunt, but she was pushed back and forth by Mu Shi’s various reasons, and it had been delayed.

As soon as it was delayed, Yu Qianyun was born. Mu Shi went to see a fortune teller for Yu Qianyun, but the result was that Yu Qianyun would be able to overcome her father and mother. She had to be fostered outside to resolve the disaster. Mu Shi pretended to be embarrassed and refused to call the shots. She told General Yu about the matter. General Yu was worried about the promotion. Hearing this, he refused to be careless and insisted on sending Yu Qianyun out of the house.

Upon hearing this news, Yu Qianyun’s birth mother was anxious and dragged her unhealed body to beg at Lady Yu, who tried to protect Yu Qianyun’s daughter and scolded General Yu and Mu Shi. General Yu was very annoyed and vented all his grievances on Yu Qianyun’s birth mother. She was anxious and heartbroken. In addition, after receiving several punches from General Yu, she fell ill and died.

When Yu Qianyun’s biological mother died, it further verified the fortune teller’s words. A baby who had not yet reached the full moon killed her biological mother. General Yu had a good reason this time and was determined to send Yu Qianyun away. Lady Yu couldn’t hold him back, so she had to reluctantly agree.

Without the protection of her mother and the love of her father, Yu Qianyun was sent to a family in the country when she was a child. Although the Yu house sent a monthly donation, she lived in someone else’s home. Life in the capital was simply incomparable.

After listening to Ling’er’s words, Yu Linglong was not too surprised by General Yu’s ignorance. She thought that it must have been Mu Shi’s tricks behind him. The violent General Yu was just a weapon of Mu Shi’s.

The maid was given to General Yu by Lady Yu, who wanted status and power. How could the narrow-minded Mu Shi allow such a person to stay with General Yu? Naturally, she wanted to get rid of it quickly.

Poor Yu Qianyun, who didn’t understand anything, was a victim of the struggle between the wives and concubines in the inner courtyard of the Yu Mansion. She left this unwarm home at a young age. If it weren’t for Lady Yu calling the shots, she would probably not be able to return to the Yu Mansion.

“The Fifth Lady’s life is really pitiful. They don’t even know what her mother looks like. In the past few years, when only the old lady was there, she picked her up from time to time for a year, and she was sent away again before the first month passed. In the past few years, the old lady was absent, and no one mentioned it and no one thought about it. No one wants to take her back.” Ling’er had experienced family hardships and couldn’t help but sigh at what happened to the Fifth Lady.

Yu Linglong took a sip of her tea, and said lightly: “Everyone has their own life. This is nothing.”

Although Yu Qianyun did not have the care of her relatives, she didn’t have to worry about food and clothing. There were many more poor people in this world, and Yu Linglong didn’t care about showing her kindness.

Looking at the tea leaves slowly floating in the teacup, Yu Linglong remembered seeing Yu Qianyun in the daytime, and probably had a preliminary understanding of her. It was not easy to come to live in someone else’s house, and she admired her. With her silent and careful character, just seeing how she always looked at other people’s faces, she knew that the family didn’t have much respect and care for her.

Ling’er poured some tea for Yu Linglong and said: “This time it’s fine. The old lady has spoken, and the Fifth Lady shouldn’t be sent away again!”

Yu Qianyun was not young anymore, and she had reached the age of marriage, and the daughter of the Yu house can’t just be thrown in the country like this. Lady Yu probably felt guilty for Yu Qianyun’s biological mother, so she thought about it. She took Yu Qianyun back and wanted to find a good marriage for her.

Yu Linglong blew the tea leaves and said, “Girl, now you are more and more in charge. If you have the time to think about other people’s things, it is better to think about yourself.”

Xuan Cao put a plate of freshly peeled walnuts on the table and said with a smile: “Yes, the Fifth Lady is not in a hurry. There is still our lady on top of it!”

Yu Linglong sounded angry and laughed, and slapped a walnut kernel on Xuan Cao: “You two are getting bolder and stronger, you even dare to make arrangements!”

Ling’er covered her mouth with joy: “I didn’t say anything, Miss, don’t blame me.”

Xuan Cao brushed the walnuts from her clothes and smiled: “You wench, always calling ‘sister, sister,’ as sweet as honey. Now you see me suffering and you think of yourself first. Don’t beg me for anything else!”

The two maids fought each other, but Yu Linglong seemed unheard of.

Looking at the bamboo shadow swaying outside the window, Yu Linglong couldn’t help but think of Yu Qianyun, who lowered her head and spoke carefully. Since she was a child, she has not been protected by relatives, and this girl’s life experience was indeed somewhat unfortunate.

This was the fate of ancient women. Everything can only be decided by the parents. To stay or not to stay is just a matter of family members’ opinions.

If she hadn’t possessed this body, perhaps this body was also the same.

She didn’t know if it was the luck or tragedy of this body.

…

Since the last time she met Palace Maid Liu in the garden, Yu Linglong had not taken this rigorous and rigid middle-aged woman to heart. As for the news that Mama Cui said, “The Palace Maid Liu was invited by the lady to teach her the rules,” she was completely deceived by her.

Therefore, when Mama Qian was ordered by the Mu Shi to invite Yu Linglong to learn the rules at Pinlan Garden, Yu Linglong felt that this was a big joke.

Make her learn the rules? Was Mu Shi’s brain kicked by a donkey?

Mama Qian stood in front of Yu Linglong, hung her head deeply, tried to control her body not to tremble slightly, and said Mu Shi’s words carefully.

“…Madam said that the ladies are old, and it is good to learn some rules. The second lady, the third lady, the fifth lady, and the sixth lady are all going to learn…This, this is what the old lady meant.”

Thinking of the entire Yu Mansion, Yu Linglong also had some respect for Lady Yu. Mama Qian quickly pushed Lady Yu in front of her as a shield.

Yu Linglong unhurriedly slammed the teacup, and the soft noise of each porcelain collision sounded thrilling in Mama Qian’s ears.

After a while, Yu Linglong spoke leisurely: “I don’t know the rules. I’ll do whatever your mistress likes, but don’t bother me.”

Seeing that Yu Linglong was not angry, Mama Qian was greatly relieved. Although she had known this result for a long time, it was a major event in the Yu house after all. Every lady who had not left the house must learn them. No matter what, she had to teach the Yu ladies how to behave.

When Yu Linglong said that, Mama Qian didn’t dare to stay any longer, so she agreed and left.

Yu Linglong originally thought that if she said so, the matter would end here, but she didn’t expect that Palace Maid Liu would find Pinlan Garden in person.

As soon as Lu Yun opened the door the next morning, she saw a middle-aged woman in a green satin coat standing at the door with a stern face, who had obviously been waiting for a long time.

Lu Yun was taken aback, and didn’t recognize who this person was, so she asked, “Are you looking for our fourth lady?”

Palace Maid Liu’s face was frosty, and she asked in a deep voice, “Has the Fourth Lady gotten up yet?”

Lu Yun didn’t serve in the house. After hearing this, she didn’t know how to answer, and she didn’t know where Palace Maid Liu came from, so she said: “Please wait a moment, I will ask.”

The Palace Maid Liu nodded: “Just say my last name is Liu.”

Lu Yun turned back to the room and asked in a low voice outside the curtain, “Has the young lady got up yet?”

Xuan Cao in the room said: “Not yet, what’s the matter?”

Lu Yun hesitated for a moment, and said, “There is a maid named Liu who has come to see the Fourth Lady.”

“A maid surnamed Liu?” Xuan Cao raised the curtain and walked out, afraid that Yu Linglong would be noisy. “Which maid is named Liu?”

Lu Yun said: “I don’t recognize her either. The way she looked, I was too scared to ask.”

Lu Yun was born into the family, and she didn’t recognize her, and Xuan Cao didn’t even know where Palace Maid Liu was from, so she said: “Let her wait outside until the lady gets up.”

Besides Mama Liu, even Mama Cui and Mama Qian next to Mu Shi in the mansion still had to stand and talk in Pinlan Garden. Yu Linglong was such a powerful mistress, and Xuan Cao would not serve this maid Liu, who she didn’t know where she came from.

Lu Yun also knew Yu Linglong’s temper, and when she got the answer, she walked out the door and said to Palace Maid Liu: “Our young lady hasn’t gotten up yet. Please wait here, and wait for the young lady to get up before going in to reply.”

When Palace Maid Liu heard this, her face suddenly changed to anger. Since she was a teaching female maid who came from the palace, nobody would dare disrespect her, even if it was Mu Shi, she had to give her a bit of face, but this shameless lady would not only make her wait but also didn’t even invite her in.

Palace Maid Liu completely relied on her years of self-cultivation and she did not break out on the spot. She stood outside Pinlan Garden, and as time passed by bit by bit, her face became more and more ugly.

The sun gradually heated up, and Yu Linglong finally woke up.

There were no entertainment activities in ancient times, and she didn’t have to go to the houses and courtyards to ask for help. She woke up naturally almost every day. Of course, no one in the Yu house dared to disturb her sleep.

When Yu Linglong was washing her face, Xuan Cao told Lu Yun’s words to Yu Linglong: “There is a maid Liu, who came early in the morning and wants to see you.”

Yu Linglong took the handkerchief and wiped her face. After all, she didn’t remember who Palace Maid Liu was, and she didn’t take it to heart, and said casually, “Then let her in.”

At this time, Palace Maid Liu had been standing outside for more than half an hour. Even though it was not yet noon, the sun was still quite poisonous. She had waited outside for so long, her face was dripping with sweat, her lipstick and the rouge on her cheeks had melted away, and the buns that were combed so perfectly were not messy, but they were wet, they seemed to be just washed, and you couldn’t tell whether it was from oil or sweat.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

This Palace Maid Liu, no matter how educated she was, couldn’t help feeling extremely bad.

When she heard that Yu Linglong invited her in, she didn’t speak, and just raised her foot and entered Pinlan Garden.

Yu Linglong was sitting in front of the dressing table while Xuan Cao combed her long hair, and heard a voice that was obviously suppressing anger and said in a deep voice: “Good morning, Fourth Lady. I am the Palace Maid Liu.”

Yu Linglong looked behind her from the bronze mirror and saw that she was from the Palace. Only then did she know who the Liu was that Xuan Cao said. It turned out that she was this rigid middle-aged woman.

Upon hearing Palace Maid Liu’s words, Yu Linglong raised her mouth slightly and smiled disdainfully.

Why was she trying to sound so imposing? Was she afraid of Yu Linglong?

Without moving her body, Yu Linglong retracted her gaze in the mirror and said coldly: “What’s the matter, please say it!”

Palace Maid Liu saw Yu Linglong was not only incapable of welcoming her, but also too lazy to even look back at her, and finally, she couldn’t restrain her anger.

Which of the other ladies in the house was not respectful to her? Even the Sixth Lady who came out with her parents greeted her with smiles.

What qualifications does this illegitimate daughter Fourth Lady have to play with her!?

Thinking of her responsibilities, Palace Maid Liu snorted, straightened her body, and said loudly, “Fourth Lady, I’m here to teach you how to behave!”

Yu Linglong looked at the stunned woman who was willing to face death, and she couldn’t help but frown, “I’ll learn the stupid rules and leave!”

Palace Maid Liu’s voice couldn’t help getting louder: “Fourth Lady, I told you last time, daughters of great families can’t talk like that! Besides, since Lady Yu has asked me to come here from the palace, I must be loyal to my duty to serve the young ladies in the house—”

Yu Linglong was impatient, and grabbed the rouge box on the dressing table, and threw it out without looking back: “What nonsense is this? Get lost!”

Palace Maid Liu didn’t expect Yu Linglong to hit her as soon as she spoke. She was caught off guard. The small rouge box hit her forehead, and the fine rouge powder was spilled on her sweaty face. Her face was like a floor covered with blood.

Seeing her embarrassed appearance, Ling’er, who was holding the water basin on the side, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Palace Maid Liu wiped her face indiscriminately. The rouge on her face was mixed with sweat, making her look like an actor on the stage. Even her mother probably could not tell she was standing in front of her.

Looking down at the rogue in the palm of her hand, Palace Maid Liu said angrily: “Fourth Lady, is this how the lady from a great family acts? I came to see you, and you made me wait for more than half an hour outside without even letting me in! Do you dare to beat me now? You are so stubborn that you will suffer sooner or later!”

Yu Linglong’s patience was exhausted by the entanglement with Palace Maid Liu. She pulled out her hair from the hands of Xuan Cao, stood up suddenly, and looked at Palace Maid Liu with straight eyebrows.

“So what if I ask you to wait? So what if I beat you? You’re making me learn the rules, I’ll learn your mother’s rules!”

Palace Maid Liu was shocked by Yu Linglong’s rudeness and took two steps backward. On her red face, her eyes widened as if struck by lightning: “How can you talk like this!? You, you, you—”

Palace Maid Liu took a few deep breaths before she evened out her breath, and pointed at Yu Linglong’s hand trembling: “You can copy the Advice for Women! Copy it a hundred times!”

Yu Linglong smiled sarcastically: “What? You have to punish me? Who do you think you are!?”

This girl really regarded her as a palace maid? She would teach whoever she wanted to, but not if they provoked her!

At the next moment, Yu Linglong watched Palace Maid Liu’s movements and finally couldn’t help laughing.

She saw Palace Maid Liu take a ruler out of nowhere, and held it high in her hand. On her bright red face, only the two rows of teeth were very obvious. At this moment, she was clawing one by one, saying that she wanted to punish Yu Linglong.

Her expression at this moment was really funny, so funny.

Seeing Palace maid Liu approaching aggressively, the ruler in her hand was about to fall on Yu Linglong’s body, Yu Linglong snorted disdainfully, lifted it easily, and easily grabbed the ruler from Palace Maid Liu’s hand.

“You, you are so brave—” Palace Maid Liu panted out of air, waving around her hands covered with rouge, trying to regain her weapon from Yu Linglong, “Hurry up and give it to me!”

The answer to her was a crisp sound on her cheek!

The ruler in Yu Linglong’s hand fell unceremoniously and hit Palace Maid Liu’s face hard.

“Do you want to punish me? Go out and take a piss and look at yourself, see if you’re worthy or not!”

The ruler snapped down and hit Palace Maid Liu’s face. Palace Maid Liu scolded her a few times at first. Later, she couldn’t help but feel pain. She covered her face and wanted to avoid it. Who knows that the ruler in Yu Linglong’s hand seemed to be long. With her eyes closed, she was extremely flexible, no matter where she hid, the ruler could accurately pat her face.

Yu Linglong didn’t stop hitting until her cheeks were swollen.

Throwing the ruler to the ground casually, Yu Linglong looked at the Palace Maid Liu with her colorful face, and smiled disdainfully: “Are you comfortable now? Get out!”

Palace Maid Liu was holding her face. She couldn’t even speak clearly through her swollen lips, and only her wide eyes glared at Yu Linglong, conveying her anger at the moment.

Too lazy to listen to her slurred voice, Yu Linglong sat back in front of the dressing table and said, “Ling’er, go and give this to—”

Yu Linglong turned her head and thought for a while before remembering this person’s surname: “…Palace Maid Liu.”

Ling’er held back a smile, picked up the ruler from the ground, and walked to Palace Maid Liu.

Pushing her unceremoniously, Ling’er smiled and said, “You’re not leaving yet. Are you waiting for the spanking?”

Palace Maid Liu covered her mouth and made an angry grunt. Ling’er didn’t have the patience and kicked her ass: “Hurry up and get out of here! Don’t annoy our lady again!”

The so-called master must have his servant. Ling’er had been with Yu Linglong for a long time, and she has a fiery temper. They always fought together. Seeing this Palace Maid Liu gets beaten, she was still here somehow wanting to seek justice for herself, and Ling’er naturally couldn’t give her a good face.

Seeing that Palace Maid Liu couldn’t leave, she had to go out unwillingly.

This Fourth Lady Yu was so bold that she even dared to fight the female maids in the palace!

Walking to the door, Ling’er smiled and handed her the ruler: “Hey, your ruler.”

Palace Maid Liu took the ruler angrily. She felt very depressed.

With this ruler in her hand, she didn’t know how many unconscientious young ladies and stubborn little masters had been beaten with it. But when she met Yu Linglong, she finally had a solid taste of being beaten by the ruler.

Seeing Palace Maid Liu, who lowered her head and covered her face, gradually walking away, the smile on Ling’er’s face got bigger and bigger.

Even the young ladies dared to provoke her. This woman really doesn’t know whether she wants to live or die!

…

It was the Ghost Festival in a blink of an eye. Yu Linglong didn’t know it before. For the ancients, the Ghost Festival was a very important festival. Therefore, it was a little strange watching the Yu Mansion preparing to worship the ancestors and preparing for the festival.

Ling’er had been holding back all sorts of troubles without going out these days and went out to watch the river lanterns on the day of the festival. Under Ling’er’s various portrayals, even Yu Linglong couldn’t help but feel a little moved, wanting to see the ancient times. She agreed that the Ghost Festival was so lively.

Ling’er got Yu Linglong’s blessing. She jumped up and down with joy and begged Lu Yun hard to give her several river lanterns of different shapes, including lotus lanterns, boat lanterns, and eight treasure lanterns, all in various styles and bright colors. Even Yu Linglong said that Lu Yun was really beautiful, and Ling’er and Lu Yun were in full bloom. The past few days passed without knowing it under Ling’er’s tossing.

The day of the Ghost Festival finally arrived under Ling’er’s expectation. Xuan Cao said that she would stay at home, so Yu Linglong only took Ling’er and went down the street.

On both sides of the street, there were small business shops with small lanterns for sale. They are all handmade. There were lanterns, marquees, and even in the shapes of bunnies, puppies, and pigs. Yu Linglong thought it was interesting.

Ling’er was anxious and urged again and again: “Miss, Chang’an Avenue is in front. The lanterns over there are beautiful. Let’s go over there and see!”

Yu Linglong couldn’t help laughing. No matter how she was with Ling’er, she became anxious like a girl. She hadn’t even cared about these little things before.

Walking forward with Ling’er, she soon arrived at Chang’an Avenue. Ling’er was right. There were more river lantern stalls here, of every different kind, which dazzled them for a while.

Ling’er had several river lanterns in her hand, but she couldn’t help but go to each stall to have a look. She loved the river lanterns and wanted to buy all of them.

“Miss, look at that!” Ling’er suddenly pointed to a stall in the distance, and before Yu Linglong could speak, she ran over, as if the river lantern she was fancying would be bought by others in the next moment.

Yu Linglong was a little helpless. This Ling’er was not too small, but she was still like a monkey, and it was too tiring to worry all day long. She brought Ling’er out, but she still followed her everywhere, not knowing who was the mistress and who was the servant.

Just as she was about to walk over, a surprised voice suddenly sounded behind her: “Are you here too!?”

Before Yu Linglong turned her head, her hand was already grabbed: “Why did you come out by yourself?”

Yu Linglong subconsciously slapped that hand away. Looking back, she saw that under the bustling lights, a teenager about the same height as her was looking at her with joy.

Gan Lin no longer looked like when he was tied up that day. At this moment, he was wearing a pine-green wide silk gown, with an ochre double dragon on his forehead that grabbed some beads. The pearl in the center was the size of a chicken egg and exuded radiance. The brilliance showed that it was obviously valuable. A pair of big black and white eyes looked at Yu Linglong without blinking, with an uncontrollable smile at the corner of her mouth, as if he had won a treasure.

Yu Linglong frowned slightly: “Is it you?”

When Gan Lin saw Yu Linglong, he was obviously so happy that he almost forgot his shape, and reached out to hold Yu Linglong’s hand: “I thought you were older than me. I didn’t expect you to be the same age as me. I will never call your sister again!”

The young man behind Gan Lin was taken aback, and quickly reminded him in a low voice: “Master, this is the street, don’t let people see…”

Gan Lin said nonchalantly: “What are you afraid of, Qianjiao is not such a twitchy girl.”

Yu Linglong coldly withdrew her hand. She was indeed not a twitchy girl, but being held by a strange boy in the street like this was not what she was willing to do.

At first, Gan Lin had just freed himself from the danger and was pestering Yu Linglong to ask this question. Now when he met Yu Linglong on the street, he kept talking to himself.

“Your name is Yu Qianjiao, right? Who did you learn martial arts from? It’s so amazing. I’ll go back and tell my father and mother! Even they find it incredible!”

Yu Linglong paid attention to the little boy impatiently, and threw a word hard: “Go away!” Then she turned and left.

Gan Lin immediately stepped forward and followed her. Seeing she was indifferent, he started talking faster: “Are you to blame me for letting my parents go to propose marriage to you?”

Yu Linglong ignored it. Anyway, the object of his proposal was Yu Qianjiao, what did it have to do with her?

Gan Lin thought that Yu Linglong had acquiesced, and immediately explained: “Qianjiao, don’t be angry. My father and mother asked me how I came back. I said you saved me. We two came back on a horse. I said that although you are not very old, you are a courageous and knowledgeable girl. They said that when I rode with you, it was not proper for unmarried men and women to touch, so I had to confess…”

Gan Lin’s white face flushed slightly, and his voice was low as if he was a little embarrassed: “I told them…I want to marry you as a wife!”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
