They didn't expect that Ning Xueyan would plead for Mother Yun. All the madams were stunned! Although she was still young and her face was pale and unhealthy, her expression was elegant and her appearance was exquisite to the point of perfection. Her every movement exuded the aura of a great family, making people feel close to her.
They didn't expect that there was such an outstanding girl in the backyard of the Lord Protector's Manor. They had only heard that the First Young Lady was gentle and elegant and beautiful. This one looked even more outstanding.
"Xueyan, why do you still plead for her? She doesn't respect you and even hurt you. She's an evil servant." Madam Dowager Liu liked Ning Xueyan's gentle and generous look at first sight. She said softly with a smile on her face.
"Grand-aunt, grandmother, she hurt me and should be punished. Xueyan thought that today is such an important day and it's not suitable to kill people. For the sake of her many years of loyalty to the Lord Protector's Manor, it's better to let her go to the backyard … as a punishment for her dereliction of duty as a servant …" Although Ning Xueyan's snow-white face was smiling and her words were sincere, everyone could see that she was suppressing her sadness. She didn't finish her words. More than one madam didn't understand her words at the moment.
"Why should I go to the backyard?" Madam Dowager Liu didn't understand Ning Xueyan's meaning and asked in confusion.
On the other side, Mother Yun, who understood that Ning Xueyan wanted her to go to the mourning hall, was so scared that she screamed. She pushed away the two old maids who were holding her and shouted anxiously, "No, no, I don't want to go to the mourning hall for Second Madam! First Madam, I don't want to go. Help me, I don't want to go! I don't want to go! The mourning hall … Second Madam … mourning hall … "
This sudden turn of events gave everyone a fright!
When they heard what Mother Yun said, the madams' faces all changed. Only Ning Xueyan had been waiting for this scene. She slightly lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in them!
Madam Ming's death was strange. When she was in the mourning hall, she smelled a faint sweet fragrance. After carefully identifying it, she found that the fragrance appeared in the coffin! The source of this fragrance was the smell of some kind of poisonous substance. Eating it for a long time would not only make people dizzy and sick, but it would also cause the sweet smell to accumulate in the body.
The faint sweet fragrance floating in front of the coffin must have something to do with Madam Ling. Her biological mother had left her a set of methods of making incense, so she knew that the incense was harmful. Mother Yun was Madam Ling's henchman, so she must know the truth of Second Madam Ming's death, so she must be afraid!
"You slave, what nonsense are you spouting here!" Madam Ling didn't wait for Mother Yun to finish. She rushed over and slapped her, interrupting what Mother Yun was about to say.
Mother Yun's words had caused quite a stir among the madams who were watching!
The inner courtyard was in a mess because of Mother Yun's words.
The Second Madam of the backyard was dead, but the Lord Protector's Manor dared to hold a wedding banquet. How could the Lord Protector's Manor do such an unethical thing?
"Dog slave, what nonsense are you talking about? Come on, gag her mouth, drag her away and beat her to death. Quick, beat her to death." Madam Ling didn't expect Mother Yun to say such words. She shouted at the two old maids in a panic, completely forgetting that she had pleaded for Mother Yun just now.
"Beat her to death? Madam, I did it for you … "Mother Yun shouted when she saw Madam Ling's fierce eyes. But before she finished her words, she was gagged and held down.
At this point, Madam Dowager knew that she couldn't hide it anymore. Looking at Madam Ling's attempt to cover it up, she trembled with anger. Now not only the reputation of the Lord Protector's Manor was ruined, but also her son's reputation as an official would be hindered. Facing the glare from left and right, Madam Dowager's face alternated between blue and white. For a moment, she couldn't even speak. She felt dizzy, her blood rushed to her head, and she fell straight back.
Now the scene was even more chaotic. The doctor who was called over to treat Ning Xueyan happened to come over and was asked to feel Madam Dowager's pulse first.
How could the madams not see that the Lord Protector's Manor had done something unethical? Now, how would this marriage end? Originally, some madams wanted to take the opportunity to see the daughter of the Lord Protector's Manor when they heard that there was a daughter in Ning's Manor, but now they gave up the idea. The First Miss of the Lord Protector's Manor, who was said to be elegant and gentle, hid the death letter of her elder in a hurry to get married. It was really rebellious.
She didn't look educated and reasonable at all!
What's more, Madam Ling looked guilty. It was obvious that she had already known that Ning Xueyan treated the daughter of her co-wife harshly, drove the slave to commit murder, and concealed the death letter. How could a daughter with such a mother be good?
"Don't beat her to death. Take this dog slave away and deal with her later." Madam Dowager Liu retreated with a smile and stared coldly at Madam Ling. She didn't look good and directly ordered. Since the situation was so chaotic, someone had to come out and say something.
Lord Protector Ning Zu 'an respected his aunt very much. So, although he usually didn't manage things, no one dared to disobey her. Two old maids dragged Mother Yun, who was gagged, away. At this time, they couldn't let her say anything.
"Miss, Miss, are you okay?" In the chaos, Qingyu, the servant girl, ran over and supported Ning Xueyan's weak body with distress. She had been taken away by someone sent by Madam Ling to help, and now she took advantage of the chaos to run out.
