Chapter 63

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Mu Shi was frightened when she was called out, but she still insisted: “Master, I was wronged. I treated Lan’er like my sister, so how could I harm her?”

Nonsense. She isn’t stupid, how could she admit that she did it herself? Looking at General Yu’s appearance, if she admitted it, it would be strange if she didn’t get killed by him.

Besides, it had been more than two years since this incident, and General Yu had no foundation for his claims and no evidence. What can prove that she killed Concubine Lan? At this time, as long as she does not admit it, she will be fine when General Yu is angry, and she can still be his beautiful lady.

Mu Shi lowered her head, concealed the panicked look on her face, took out her kerchief, and wiped the corners of her tearless eyes. She said sadly, “Master, I don’t know what’s going on today. Someone must have wanted to slander me! Master, you have not been at home for the past three years, and I have taken care of it alone. I am afraid that you have offended a lot of people. You just came back, and you have used this to smear me, sir. You can’t wrongly believe in these words, you have wronged me! Oh...”

Although Mu Shi’s remarks were to defend herself, she secretly reminded General Yu that he had not been at home for the past three years, and she was working alone in the house. If General Yu thought about her hard work, then he might believe her.

General Yu remembered the scene in the ancestral hall and then remembered another thing: “What’s the matter with Qianfang? She’s a good girl, why doesn’t she have any hair? How did you take care of her!?”

Mu Shi’s mind had incessant grievances. Yu Qianfang’s hair didn’t seem strange, and she never found out what was going on. Anyway, she wasn’t her own daughter, she was just a daughter of a concubine, and she didn’t care what she became.

But could she tell General Yu this? At first, General Yu had doubts about Concubine Lan’s relentless suspicion. If he saw her as indifferent to his concubine, she would definitely think that her mistress was not qualified.

Mu Shi had no choice but to answer what he had inquired about: “...I heard that it was a ghost that shaved her head, but I didn’t expect it to be so serious. Master, Qianfang is a girl, and her hair has become like this, so she naturally refuses to come out to see people. Today is the first time I saw her.”

Speaking of ghosts shaving their heads, Mu Shi immediately had a flash of inspiration. She took a few steps and continued: “Master, today’s events were a bit strange. If the troublemaker in Pinlan Garden really is Concubine Lan, why couldn’t she find someone else? What about Qianfang? Qianfang is her biological daughter. How could she allow so many irrelevant people to harm Qianfang? The ghost we saw today is definitely not Concubine Lan!”

General Yu didn’t understand these twists and turns. After listening to Mu Shi’s rhetoric, he felt that there was some truth to it. He frowned and thought for a while. He said, “You have seen the shadow too. It’s clearly Lan’er. It looks like her, and even the tone of speech was the same. If it’s not her, then who is it?”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

Mu Shi also couldn’t figure out who the ghost was, but she vaguely felt that Sorceress Bai had some problems, but now it was definitely unrealistic to ask her about it, and she had already said that she would leave the Yu house after finishing the ritual today. After leaving the house, where would she go to find someone?

What’s more, Sorceress Bai was invited by her, and if something went wrong, it would still be counted against her in the end.

Mu Shi glanced at General Yu who was still irritated and knew that the most important thing was to comfort General Yu first. She covered her eyes with one hand and pretended to cry, and stretched out her hand to hold the corner of General Yu’s robe: “Master, after living in the Yu house for so many years, I dare not take a wrong step, dare not to say anything wrong, and I think everything is for the sake of the master. You know what kind of person I am. Master loved Concubine Lan, and only I loved her more than the master, so how could I harm her? I know that if Concubine Lan had some shortcomings, you would be sad. Even if I didn’t care about Concubine Lan, I have to take care of the master’s health. Master, do you know that after Concubine Lan passed away, I cried several times for her, and I was afraid that you would be sad when you came back. I ordered someone to bury her quickly. Master, if you take out your anger on me, I will be fine. It’s easy to say, after all, people die in our house, and I also have the responsibility of looking after them...”

The more she cried, the sadder she became. When she remembered how her husband treated her for a little concubine, her tears really poured out: “...Master, if you must punish me, then punish me. My whole heart is for the master, as long as the master is fine, I am willing to do anything!”

Mu Shi knelt on the ground, crying in disarray, and even a stone-hearted person like General Yu would inevitably feel compassion. After all, Mu Shi and her husband have been married for many years, and General Yu was really unwilling to believe that this was Mu Shi. As a result, after hearing Mu Shi’s words, General Yu sighed and reached out his hand to lift Mu Shi up: “Get up—”

Before he could finish speaking, there was a rush of footsteps outside, followed by the maid’s flustered return: “The Sixth Lady...take your time...Madam, sir! The Sixth Lady is ​​here!”

Yu Qianjiao raised the curtain and walked in angrily: “Father, mother, you have to help me!”

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Mu Shi kneeling in front of General Yu, and she was startled: “Mother, what happened?”

Mu Shi loved her daughter and eagerly got up and said, “What’s wrong, why are you walking in such a hurry? Why aren’t you more careful when you’re not in good health?”

When Yu Qianjiao remembered what had happened just now. She was so angry that she pulled at Mu Shi’s sleeves with tears in her eyes and said with betrayal: “Mother, have no idea. Someone abused me just now and beat me. She slapped me across the face!”

Yu Qianjiao pointed her beaten face to Mu Shi: “Mother, look! It hurts terribly!”

Mu Shi was distressed and angry again: “Who did this!? Who would dare to do this!?”

Yu Qianjiao bitterly said: “It’s the commoner’s daughter who just entered the house, the one named Yu Linglong! Mother, you have to beat her well and avenge me!”

During Yu Qianjiao’s recovery, she was groggy and drowsy. She didn’t know that so many things had happened in the mansion, and had no idea that in one month’s work, Yu Linglong had already defeated Mu Shi and General Yu and had forged an unshakable position of authority in the Yu Mansion.

After recovering from a serious illness, she naively thought that the Yu Mansion was her mother’s. As long as Mu Shi gave an order, she could give Yu Linglong a lesson!

At this moment, as soon as Mu Shi heard that Yu Linglong had beaten Yu Qianjiao, she fell silent. If it was someone else it would have been fine, but unfortunately, it was Yu Linglong!
