The Ninth Imperial Concubine of the Remnant King

  When she received the news, the old lady had just woken up from her afternoon nap.

  Jin Mama brought in a visiting card, "Old Madam, it's a visiting card from the Prefect's wife."

  "Oh?" The old lady was surprised, it wasn't a holiday or festival, why would she send over a visiting card.

  "Madam, there is also a letter enclosed with the invitation card, presumably for you."

  "That's strange, bring it over first." The old lady waved her hand.

  Jin Mama quickly handed over the things in her hand to Old Lady, who took them and opened them. First, she looked at the visiting card and saw that there was nothing special about it, so she opened the letter again.

  The letter is quite thick and solid, obviously with a lot of content inside.

  After opening it, the old lady's face suddenly changed.

  "Nonsense... utter nonsense!" The old lady slapped the tea table beside her with great force.

  Jin Mama also shivered at the side, thinking that the wife of Zhi Fu had said something, how could she make the old lady so angry.

  "Go, go and fetch Madame quickly."

  "Yes." Mother Jin didn't dare ask further and quickly got up to call someone.

  Before long, the madam arrived at the old lady's courtyard. Because of Murong Xue's matter, she was already in a bad mood. When Jin mom sent someone to call her earlier, she was discussing with her confidant how to rescue Murong Xue.

  All the way, Mrs. Lian asked several times, but unfortunately, everyone in Old Lady's courtyard was tight-lipped and answered "I don't know" to whatever she asked.

  The lady was furious, but her face didn't show it at all. She just thought to herself that she should find a way to get someone into the old lady's courtyard.

  In fact, she wrongly blamed that little girl. This matter, even Jin's mother didn't know about it, let alone her, a mere errand girl.

  Arriving at the old lady's courtyard, Mrs. arrived to pay her respects and had not yet stood up when a dark object flew over in front of her.

  "Ah......" The madam let out a subconscious shriek and curled up to one side, covering her head.

  At this scene, the old lady became even more enraged. "You scoundrel, look at your behavior! As a general's wife, you are so unstable in the face of events, how can the general's mansion be entrusted to you in the future?"

  Bang! A dull thud, and the thing flying over fell down.

  The old lady felt slightly relieved and didn't bother to respond to the old woman's words, but instead hurriedly turned her head to take a look, seeing that it was a stack of letters, she finally felt at ease.

  "Old lady, it's the daughter-in-law's fault, she was also scared just now."

  "Evasive." The old lady was increasingly dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law. Although she came from a good family, there was something petty and narrow-minded about her that couldn't compare to her kind-hearted, calm, dignified, and proper niece.

  "Take a closer look at what's written on it."

  "Yes." The old lady suppressed her puzzlement, stretched out her arm to take the stack of paper. However, after glancing at it for a few moments, she was shocked and threw it away as if scalded. "Old lady, this is a trap. How can you believe outsiders but not your own legitimate granddaughter?"

  "Frame-up? I also don't believe that the young lady of the General's Manor could do such a shameful thing. Since you also think Xue Er is innocent, then I'll send her to the government office to confront those scoundrels. Who is right or wrong, it should be clear after investigation."

  "What?" Madam suddenly shrieked. "Old madam, how can that be? Xue'er is a delicate and refined young lady, how can she go to the government office and meet with such evil people? Old madam, it's absolutely impossible!"

  "How can it be hidden? Such a big thing, can't it still be covered up? Now that someone has reported it to the authorities, can it still be kept under wraps?"

  The lady's words were stuck in her throat, and she also understood in her heart that this matter could not be concealed no matter what. With many people and loose tongues, even if the thing was not done by Murong Xue, it would still spread to the government office, how could the news be hidden?

  "Madam, please save Xue'er." The madam knelt down in front of the old madam, hugging her legs and crying, "Madam, Xue'er is still young. If this matter gets out, she'll be ruined for life."

  "If only I had known today, why bother with the past?" The old lady snorted. This mother and daughter were a pair that never stopped, thinking she was old and didn't know anything? In fact, she saw all the tricks they played behind her back.

  Why can't Murong Qing recognize a few big characters? It's all because of their meddling. What kind of woman has no talent and is virtuous, how could the young lady from a wealthy family really not know big characters?

  If it weren't for wanting Murong Qing to grow up safely and stably, how would the old lady agree to this matter.

  Who would have thought that after retreating this far, Madam still wouldn't let Mu Rong Qing off.

  "Eldest sister-in-law, over the years I have naturally not been unkind to you all. That girl Qinger has also never caused any trouble for you. Why are you so heartless and unwilling to let go of a young servant girl?"

  "Madam, we were wrong. Please, for the sake of Snow's being a member of the Liu family, forgive her this once." The madam wailed and begged. She knew that now only Madam could save Murong Snow.

  Even if she shows up, the Magistrate may not necessarily give her face. At present, she has to admit that only such an old lady would take action.

  The old lady said so, it was admitting that the matter was done by Murong Xue. The old lady would not have misunderstood her meaning and immediately became even more angry with Murong Xue.

  "Look at your well-taught good daughter, at such a young age she can already do such ugly things."

  "Old lady, this must be someone behind the scenes manipulating things. Xue Er and Qing Er have always had a very good relationship, how could she go and harm her."

  "That's enough. I know who is right and who is wrong in my heart. From now on, you can go to the Buddhist hall with Xue Er to reflect on your mistakes. Don't come out without my permission."

  "Thank you, Old Madam." The Eldest Mistress kowtowed and then turned around to leave the door. She knew that since Old Madam said so, it meant she would spare Murong Xue.

  It's not that the old lady isn't angry, it's just that she doesn't want to implicate the General's Manor in this matter. Murong Xue is the General's Manor's legitimate young miss, and at such a young age, she has done something like this, wouldn't people suspect the General's Manor's family education?

  No matter whether this thing was actually done by Murong Xue or not, it absolutely cannot be attributed to her externally.

  After the old lady left, the old lady signaled to Jin Mama to properly keep that letter. She sat down and muttered: "Should I call back my second daughter-in-law?"

  Jin Mama overheard from the side and couldn't help but change her expression. The second lady is coming back, and the General's Mansion will be lively again.

  At this time, Murong Qing also received the news. When he first heard it, he was shocked, but after regaining his composure, he understood whose handwriting it was.

  Who else could it be besides Xiahou Yi who likes to stir up trouble?

  "Miss, I don't understand what's going on." Lü Qingluo asked while gently massaging her shoulders.

  "Go on."

  "This matter is clearly related to Madam as well, Miss. Why are you only targeting Third Miss? It's possible that this was actually Madam's idea."

  "You guessed it right." Murong Qing lazily turned over, "It's precisely because of this that I want to let go of the Grand Madame, leaving her behind will allow the forces backing her to reveal themselves."
