In a courtyard on the outskirts of the Chu capital, under the faint sunlight, a beautiful but slightly thin and pale woman sat under a tree with a baby in her arms. The baby in her arms was more than three months old. Compared to the wrinkled appearance when he was just born, his little face was now white and tender. A pair of big watery eyes looked at the woman holding him and giggled.
The woman lowered her head and looked at the baby in her arms. A faint smile appeared on her originally hesitant face.
"Miss Yaoji, Madam and Young Madam are here." At the door, a woman who looked like a maid reported in a deep voice. Although she was a maid, she looked at the woman under the tree without the slightest respect. Instead, she was full of contempt and disgust. Yaoji had long been used to such gazes and didn't care. In the eyes of these people, she was just a shameless woman who seduced the Heir of Marquis Muyang's Mansion.
Yaoji lowered her head as if she didn't hear her. Since she was caught in June when she was pregnant, the Madam of Marquis Muyang's family took away all her belongings and she lost her freedom. When she was about to give birth, she almost died in an avalanche. Even Yaoji didn't expect that the seemingly gentle and well-educated Young Madam of Marquis Muyang's Mansion would be so vicious. After going through so much, Yaoji became more and more bitterly disappointed. She completely despaired of these so-called rich and powerful people.
The maid said she was here to report, but she didn't say she was here to inform. Seeing that Yaoji didn't speak, she didn't care and left directly. Sure enough, a group of people came in after a while. Madam of Marquis Muyang frowned and looked at the charming Yaoji in white, her eyes full of disgust. Born in a noble family, she naturally hated these enchanting women the most, not to mention that this woman had hooked her son's heart.
The Young Madam of Marquis Muyang's Mansion, who had just entered the family for a few months, was even more jealous. Yaoji's appearance could be ranked in the top five even in the entire capital city. In the past, when she wore a red dance dress in Qingcheng Lane, she had attracted praise from all sides at the banquet in the palace. Even though she had lost a lot of weight and was dressed in white without any makeup, she was more elegant and proud like a lotus flower. How could Young Madam Mu, the young lady of the Sun family, compare to her? Originally, this Young Madam Mu had a scholarly and elegant temperament, which made Ye Li secretly praise her in her heart. However, after getting married, her life was filled with jealousy and viciousness. She had long abandoned her last advantage. Now, it seemed that she was just a mean and vicious young woman.
"How dare you! Don't you even know how to salute? "The Madam of the Marquis Muyang's Mansion reprimanded in a deep voice.
Yaoji raised her head and said indifferently, "You two didn't come in person but still asked the master to bow?"
Young Madam Mu shrieked, "What kind of master are you? This is Marquis Muyang's residence! "
Yaoji said, "It's true that I'm not the master, but neither is Young Mistress Mu. This was Mu Yang's private courtyard. Obviously, Mu Yang did not recognize the Young Madam's right to own her own private property. Young Madam Mu, do you still remember? When you almost starved me and Jing 'an to death, Mu Yang had ordered that you and Jing' an were not allowed to take a step into this place. As for me … if Madam Mu is willing to let me go, Yaoji will be very grateful. I think the money you took from me should be enough to pay for these days, right? "
Marquis Muyang's and Young Madam Mu's faces were both green and white. Young Madam Mu was purely angry, while Marquis Muyang was more embarrassed and angry. Zhang family took away all of Yaoji's property, and a large part of it fell into her hands. Yaoji naturally made a lot of money these years. When she sold Qingcheng Lane to Prince Ding Mansion, Ye Li did not take advantage of Yaoji. The price she gave was absolutely fair. In addition, Yaoji was given all kinds of treasures by many celebrities, refined scholars, princes, and dignitaries. If it was really valued, it was worth at least three to four hundred thousand taels of silver. Such a large sum of money, even for a noble family like Marquis Muyang's residence, it was absolutely a huge sum of money.
After a long while, Marquis Muyang stood up and gritted her teeth, "If you want to leave, then leave! But you must keep the child! "Although the child's mother came from a dishonorable background, he was the first grandchild of Marquis Muyang's residence. Since Sun did not make any move after Muyang got married for so long, Marquis Muyang naturally valued this child more. Moreover, the bloodline of Marquis Muyang's residence could not be left outside.
"Don't even think about it!" Yaoji stood up with the child in her arms and stared at Marquis Muyang warily. She suddenly sneered, "If you don't want to leave, then leave! I'm not afraid of you. Even if I don't have a status here, Muyang will still provide for me with good food and luxurious clothes. If I think it through one day, it's fine for me to enter the residence as a concubine. With my beauty, do you think I'm afraid of an average-looking woman? I just don't know … if Prince Muyang married a dancer, will he be a laughingstock? "
"You … you're shameless!" Young Madam Mu's face suddenly changed. Yaoji was living in another courtyard now, and Muyang often refused to go home. If this mother and son were brought back to the residence, would there be a place for her in Marquis Muyang's residence?
Yaoji faintly lifted her lips and smiled beautifully, "You flatter me. I'm not as good as someone."
The mocking tone was so obvious that Marquis Muyang couldn't pretend not to understand it. How could Marquis Muyang, who had always been high and mighty in front of Yaoji, tolerate the mockery of a dancer? She said angrily, "You bitch! I'd like to see if I can control you or not! So what if Muyang dotes on you? I'm Muyang's mother after all! "
Yaoji sneered, "So what if you're Muyang's mother? Is it that rare? "If it was before when she had a strong relationship with Muyang, she might have some scruples about Muyang. But now … as early as when she was almost killed by Young Madam Mu during childbirth, and when she and the child almost starved to death some time ago, she had already given up on Muyang. It was not because Muyang refused to avenge her and the child. She understood that Muyang cared about Marquis Muyang's residence and Sun family. What she hated the most was that Muyang still refused to let her go even though he knew that it was dangerous for her and the child to stay in the Chu capital. She didn't know and didn't want to know whether it was because Muyang was confident that he could protect her and the child, or because in Muyang's eyes, her and the child's lives were not that important. But now … her heart was completely cold towards Muyang. Compared to her son, their love in the past had long become a thing of the past.
"Guards! Drag this woman out and beat her hard! "Marquis Muyang shouted.
"Who dares?!" The servants around were about to take action when Muyang quickly walked in from outside and shouted sternly. Muyang walked into the courtyard and glanced at Young Madam Mu who was standing beside Marquis Muyang. He said angrily, "It's you again!"
Young Madam Mu lowered her head bitterly. Although it was indeed she who instigated her mother-in-law to come here, her husband's attitude of reprimanding her without even asking hurt her. It wasn't that she didn't want to be a virtuous wife, but when Yaoji went missing, Muyang went to the battlefield without saying a word. After that, Marquis Muyang's residence found Yaoji, and Muyang came back and married her. However, no matter what she did, he was always indifferent to her. She was just a newly married woman in her teens. How could she bear it?
