Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 347



~ THE OLD MADAM GIVING UP HER CAR TO PROTECT THE COMMANDER ~

The Eldest Madam almost vomited a mouthful of blood. “I don’t know what kind of banknotes they were, let alone used it. Mu Yunyao, you are framing me for everything!”

Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her head and kept silent, causing Shen Binghuai to frown unconsciously.

“Lord Su, eighty thousand taels of silver isn’t a small sum. If this news spreads to the Emperor’s ears, I’m afraid Lord Su won’t have any benefits. It’s better for you to return the banknotes to Miss Mu.”

Su Wenyuan’s face turned ashen. Heard these words, his expression turned even uglier. “This …”

Mu Yunyao raised her head, slightly curtsied, and said with an indescribable sadness in her voice, “Eldest Uncle, Eldest Aunt, Mother and I will go pack our things now, then we’ll directly move out later. It’s only eighty thousand taels of silver, so I’ll take it as me being the filial nephew and niece for both of you.”

“Yao’er!” Suddenly the Old Madam’s voice came from the gate of the Courtyard. There was a sickly expression on her face as she leaned on against Wen Mama on the side. Her figure hunched slightly, and her face was filled with grief, “Yao’er, you and your mother can’t go anywhere. Stay with me at the Su family’s residence.

I’ve been sick these days, and I don’t bother what happened in residence. I didn’t expect to cause such big trouble. Daughter-in-law Meng, you’re so confused!”

Shen Binghuai cupped his hands and bowed to the Madam, “Greeting, Old Madam.”

“It’s said that family’'s ugliness should not be publicized. I’ve let Lord Shen laugh today. It’s this old woman who failed to discipline my daughter-in-law and made her do such a foolish thing!”

The Eldest Madam widened her eyes in disbelief. “Mother …”

The Old Madam raised her voice and cut her off, “All these years, you have been managing the affairs of the Su family, your words and actions are extremely comprehensive, and I especially trusted you. I didn’t expect that you to be so narrow-minded, to the point that you can’t even tolerate my daughter and granddaughter! You’re also a mother. Could it be that when you attacked Yao’er, you didn’t even think about Qingwu and Yuyi? Aren’t you afraid that what you’ve done will implicate the two children?”

The Eldest Madam’s lips quivered. The Old Madam’s words were filled with a warning, and she naturally understood. This time’s incident had caused too much trouble, and someone had to take responsibility for it. If she did not shoulder this crime, then the notoriety would fall upon the Su family.

If she took on the responsibility to protect the Su family, Su Yuyi and Su Qingwu would still have a good future. However, if the Su family’s reputation was completely destroyed, their future also finished. How could they still have a perfect future if they laid down their nests?

Seeing that the Eldest Madam had understood her meaning, the Old Madam stopped looking at her and grabbed onto Su Qing and Mu Yunyao. “I will definitely help you two with this matter. The two of you can live in Jiyue Pavillion at ease, and rest assured that no one will be able to bully you in the future.”

Mu Yunyao lowered her head and looked worried: “Grandma, Mother and I should move out...”

“What are you talking about? Although you are a maternal Granddaughter, you are the same as Yuyi and others in my heart. The Su family’s residence is my home, and naturally your home too. As a child of the family, there is no reason to move out. For so many years, I have been thinking about Su Qing all the time. I finally managed to find her back, but I feel that we are not close enough. If you move out like this, wouldn’t it be you be taking my life?”

The moment the Old Madam arrived at the East Courtyard, Mu Yunyao knew that she wouldn’t be able to leave the Su family smoothly. After all, the Old Madam was her maternal grandmother, and there were layers of filial piety pressing down on her head. She wants to leave, but she can’t bear the reputation of being unfilial.

However, it would not be so easy for the Old Madam to push the Eldest Madam out. The Su family would be taking responsibility for this dirty water!

Mu Yunyao threw herself into Su Qing’s embrace, her shoulders heaving as if she was crying. She looked extremely aggrieved.

The Old Madam quickly patted her on the shoulder. “Yao’er need not be so wronged. Grandmother will definitely help you. Wenyuan, this matter was done by your wife. See what you can do about it.”

Su Wenyuan finally put aside the hesitation in his heart and looked at Eldest Madam with some reluctance. Too many things had happened today, and all sorts of accusations were pointed towards the Su family. The Old Madam giving up her car to protect the Commander was the best way, “Mother, my wife is truly going too far, causing Sister Su Qing and Yao’er to suffer grievances. We’ll make up for the loss silver. As for my wife …. You can take care of it.”

The Eldest Madam’s face fell. She did not expect Su Wenyuan would not even care about the relationship between them as husband and wife for decades. “Master....”

Su Qingwu quickly walked over. His steps were unsteady, and when he walked in front of Mu Yunyao, his breathing was a little messy. “Lord Shen, I just returned from the Jin Palace and heard some news, so I specifically came to inform you. The arsonists in the Baohua temple have been found out. They are some well-known gangsters in the Capital. These people were extremely daring and would commit all sorts of crimes. Previously, they had owed a large number of gambling debts and had developed malicious intent. They wanted to intercept those people in Baohua Temple in order to threaten to seek fortune. However, because the Grand Princess Yi De in the Baohua temple, the defenses were extremely tight, and it was impossible to take the people away, so evil thoughts ignited the room.”

Mu Yunyao, who was leaning on Su Qing’s side, suddenly trembled. She turned her head around and carefully looked at Su Qingwu.

Shen Binghuai frowned. “Is there any evidence?”

“When those hooligans went down the mountain, it was dark, and the roads were slippery, so they accidentally fell off a cliff and died. However, there were some weapons and things to ignite the fire on their bodies. There were also records of the dates of Yuyi and Yunyao going up the mountain. Now all the pieces of evidence are in the Jin Palace.

The Eldest Madam heaved a sigh of relief. Although this matter was bound to affect her reputation, it was still a small matter. The fire in Baohua Temple had been explained clearly, which would reduce people’s suspicion towards the Su family.

Mu Yunyao’s heart sunk, and her thoughts grew deeper. Indeed, Jin Wang couldn’t stop his hand from helping the Su family. Indeed, Su Wenyuan was his right-hand man, and he would not let his arm break so easily.

In that case, did the two inner sect experts who attacked Liu Liang also related to Jin Wang? If not for the fact that Liu Liang had already dealt with the bodies, how could Jin Wang still have found them?

The Eldest Madam was speechless and no way to argue. She knew that the more she said, the more wrong she was, so she merely stopped saying anything, “Mother, Old Master, I have spent so much effort to manage the affair of the Su family for so many years and have treated all the servants extremely well. How could I treat Sister Su Qing and Yao’er terribly? All the things that happened today have been pointed at me. I believe that Lord Shen will investigate everything thoroughly and return me my innocence.” After she finished, she no longer spoke.

The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became stagnant, and Shen Binghuai said: “Lord Su, things have gotten to this point, so we have to investigate properly. Before we clearly investigate the problem, it is not easy to come to a conclusion.” Although the answer is clear, the evidence is the key to the case.

Su Wenyuan nodded as he quickly thought of a way to remedy the situation. It was impossible to harm Shen Binghuai because he was born in a humble family and did not have many complicated interests behind him. Furthermore, he was known to be upright and did not fear influential people. It is expressly difficult for such people to trust connections, so they have to find another way.

“Thank you for your troubles, Lord Shen. Today’s matters are extremely complicated, and I still need Lord Shen’s help to investigate....”
