Chapter 447 - 447: Fight
King of Zhenbei’s Residence is also your home. You can come here at any time.”
As soon as Yu Yunxi was about to enter the King of Zhenbei’s Residence, a shrill voice rang from inside.
“Yu Yunxi, you’re really vicious!”
Immediately after that, Old Madam Zhou, Madam Shang, and the others rushed out. A large group of people came out, and half of them were from the second branch of the Yu family. Even the pregnant Concubine Wu was among them. However, Yu Feng, who was probably on duty, was not around.
Yu Yunxi looked over and saw Yu Xiaoxiao leaning against Madam Shang with red eyes. Her face was pale, and she looked extremely sad.
Yu Yunxi gently pressed the little bun’s head down, not wanting him to worry about these things. At the same time, she said, “It’s rare for so many people to come out and welcome me.”
However, the little bun shook his head and quickly jumped down from Yu Yunxi’s arms. It was obvious that these people were here to look for trouble for his mother. Since his father was not around, it was his duty to protect his mother.
Old Madam Zhou said angrily, “You still have the cheek to say that? Your cousin and the Crown Prince had a good relationship, but because of a vicious woman like you, the imperial edict to break off the engagement has been sent to the residence!”
“Oh, the Crown Prince really works fast. I’m really surprised,” Yu Yunxi said as she raised an eyebrow. She was truly surprised. Only about two hours had passed since the incident at the restaurant, but Chu Yuefu had already requested for an imperial edict to break off the engagement.
‘How ruthless. It seems like Chu Yuefu is really tired of Yu Xiaoxiao…’
“You! Don’t you feel guilty at all?” Madam Shang questioned as she looked at Yu Yunxi venomously.
Madam Shang had spent most of her life planning for her children.
Unexpectedly, just as her daughter was about to marry into the Eastern Palace, Yu Yunxi intervened and ruined such a good thing.
Yu Yunxi yawned before she said with a sneer, “Your words made it seem like I did something heinous. However, the Crown Prince is the one who broke off the engagement, and Yu Xiaoxiao is clearly the one who sought death. How can you put the blame on me?”
Looking like a shrew, Old Madam Zhou shouted, “You dare to say that? Your cousin was kind enough to help you clean up your mess at Full Moon Pavilion today, but you turned the tables on her and caused the Crown Prince to be at odds with her!”
“There are a few things you need to understand. First, my maidservant didn’t do anything wrong. It was Yu Xiaoxiao who framed her. I haven’t settled scores with her yet, but she dares to complain?” Yu Yunxi said, “Second, the Crown Prince is angry with her not just because of this matter. Yu Xiaoxiao, why didn’t you tell your family that you told everyone that Full Moon Pavilion belongs to the Shang family?”
Nearing the end of her words, Yu Yunxi looked at Yu Xiaoxiao and smiled slightly.
“What?”
Old Madam Zhou’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this. When she regained her senses, she grabbed Madam Shang and Yu Xiaoxiao’s arms tightly as she questioned, “Is what she said true? Does Full Moon Pavilion really belong to the Shang family?”
Old Madam Zhou was so angry that her body trembled as she continued to say, “Madam Shang, you’re in charge of the household, and you often told us that we didn’t have enough money. However, your Shang family owns the Full Moon Pavilion that’s doing very well! To think you’re unwilling to take out a little money to help us!”
There was no need for Yu Yunxi to do anything. As soon as Old Madam Zhou finished speaking, the concubines spoke up one after another to mock Madam Shang.
“That’s right. During winter, the Old Madam asked for more charcoal to keep warm, but Madam said that we didn’t have enough money for extra charcoal.”
“During the Old Madam’s birthday, we didn’t even have a proper banquet because Madam said that we didn’t have enough money.”
“Is that so? Second Master and Old Madam live a tight life in the King of Zhenbei’s Residence, but I heard that Madam has delicacies every day. As it turns out, she has the help of the Shang family.”
“It’s really great to have a good family. Poor people like us don’t have such a
fate…
“You can’t say that. Although my family is poor, my brother and the others often passed me things to give to the Old Madam. Filial piety is very important after all.
“That’s right. Although our families are poor, we have to be filial to the Old Madam. I wonder if Madam and the Shang family have shown filial piety to the Old Madam?”
“Madam Shang, you’re really capable!” Old Madam Zhou said darkly.
“It’s not like that!”
Madam Shang panicked. After all, Full Moon Pavilion did not belong to the Shang family. All its profits went to the Crown Prince and Empress Qin. Not only did she not get a single cent from the Shang family, but she often had to give money to the family.
“Old Madam, when the Second Master comes back, he’ll explain this matter to you,” Madam Shang said. She was no longer in the mood to deal with Old Madam Zhou. She was only focused on the fact that Yu Xiaoxiao told everyone that the Full Moon Pavilion belonged to the Shang family.
Madam Shang asked tremblingly, “Xiaoxiao, did you really say that… in front of everyone?”
Seeing the blame in Madam Shang’s gaze, Yu Xiaoxiao felt even more aggrieved. She stomped her feet and complained, “It belongs to the Shang family! Why can’t I say it?”
“You… You’re really muddle-headed!”
‘The Shang family is going to fall. The Crown Prince and the Empress painstakingly covered up this matter because they did not want people in the capital to know about Full Moon Pavilion. Xiaoxiao actually exposed this matter! It’s likely that some people have already begun to investigate this matter. No wonder the Crown Prince is so angry!’
Madam Shang grabbed Yu Xiaoxiao’s arm and said anxiously, “Xiaoxiao, go and change. I’ll bring you into the palace to apologize to the Empress. No, there’s no need to change. We’ll go now!”
‘The Empress and the Crown Prince must be furious with Xiaoxiao now. If this matter blows up, the Empress will destroy the Shang family!’
“Mother, I didn’t do anything wrong! My marriage is ruined! Why must I be the one to apologize?” Yu Xiaoxiao said resentfully as she stomped her feet. She was unwilling to enter the palace.
When Yu Xiaoxiao raised her head and saw Yu Yunxi watching the show, she grew even angrier. She shouted shrilly, “Mother, it’s all Yu Yunxi’s fault!
Instead of helping me, you’re blaming me!”
Madam Shang slapped Yu Xiaoxiao and said, “Follow me into the palace first!”
Madam Shang was already feeling frustrated. Seeing that Yu Xiaoxiao was unwilling to cooperate, she directly taught Yu Xiaoxiao a lesson. However, she regretted it as soon as she slapped Yu Xiaoxiao. She looked at Yu Xiaoxiao’s swollen cheek, and she felt distressed. She quickly said, “Xiaoxiao, I didn’t mean it. I…”
“Mother, I’m already in such a miserable state, but you still hit me! You don’t care about me at all!” Yu Xiaoxiao cried loudly.
Yu Xiaoxiao turned to run away, but Madam Shang hurriedly reached out to stop her.
Meanwhile, Old Madam was not in the mood to listen to the pair of mother and daughter bickering. She was only thinking about why no one told her the Shang family was so rich. She said, “Madam Shang, all these years, you must have used a lot of money from the King of Zhenbei’s Residence to help your family. Moreover, Yu Feng also helped your younger brothers with their jobs. You have to be grateful. Hurry up and return to the Shang family. Get a hundred taels of silver.’
“Old Madam, I’ve already said that the Second Master will explain this matter to you. Don’t cause any more trouble,” Madam Shang scolded angrily.
“How dare you speak to me like this just because you have the support of the Shang family! When Yu Feng comes back, I’ll get him to divorce you!”
Needless to say, Old Madam Zhou lost her temper as well.
“Divorce me? Old Madam, have you grown muddle-headed because you’re old? I didn’t do anything wrong. Why would he divorce me?” Madam Shang said as she shook off Old Madam Zhou’s hand.
In the end, Old Madam Zhou lost her balance and stumbled back, almost falling.
“You vicious woman! You almost hurt me! See if I don’t beat you to death!” Old Madam Zhou shrieked.
Following that, Old Madam Zhou grabbed and pulled Madam Shang’s hair.
With that, both of them began to fight. Not long after that, more people began to join in, and the scene turned chaotic very quickly..
