Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 339



~ THE SU FAMILY IN BAD TIMES ~

Su Wenyuan’s eyes became serious. “This looks like a match cards for the Su family’s servants. They usually take the plate and go out to do some chores. But after returning to the residence, they will have to hand it back the match cards. I haven’t heard about any loss of match cards in residence recently.”

“Lord Su, are you sure you haven’t lost your match cards?”

Su Wenyuan frowned, “Normally, I would be very busy with business, so I’m not too sure about whether or not we’ve lost match card. I’ll get the housekeeper to come over later to ask if we’ve lost it, then I’ll report it to Lord Shen.”

“Alright, since that’s the case, then I won’t continue disturbing you. If Lord Su remembers anything, then please let me know in time.”

“Certainly.”

Shen Binghuai didn’t really doubt the Su family. Firstly, that Wang Zhu was a hoodlum himself, so his words were not believable and questionable. Secondly, even if there were really such a matter, it would be a simple thing for the Su family to make Wang Zhu’s mouth shut, not to say that he made trouble in Shun Tian Manor.

However, his routine inquiry had caused rumors to circulate in the Capital.

For the past few days, the Capital had been bustling with noise and excitement. Most of it was related to the Su family. This time, it was even rarer that they are involved in human life lawsuits.

Many people stood out, discussing the farce in front of the Su family’s residence.

That day, Old Wang Mama and Old Liu Mama’s sons each took a hundred taels of silver and left. It was enough to let the commoners discuss this for a while. After all, that was a hundred taels of silver, so it was so generous that it was enough to cause anyone to be speechless.

Many people vividly described the scene that day. “The person who took out the banknotes and passed them over was a maid called Mo Yu. You all probably didn’t know that, but Mo Yu was not an ordinary maid. She served the Old Madam in the Su family. Otherwise, how could she have casually taken out two hundred taels of silver?”

“Was the silver given by Mo Yu? Didn’t they say that it was given to her by the Su family’s Young Miss Biao, who was also that Miss Mu?”

“At that time, I heard what Miss Mu said and said that Wang Zhu from the Wang family was blackmailing her and asked people to go to the doctor to investigate the cause of Old Wang Mama’s death. However, the Eldest Madam of the Su family stopped it....”

“Why stop it? No matter how generous the Su family is, they shouldn’t be able to say that a servant gave away so much silver after her death. There must be a reason behind it.....”

“Who knows, but Lord Shen went to the Su family make inquiries, maybe....”

A sentence will be changed completely after a hundred people. In addition, Mu Yunyao had people secretly guide them, causing rumors to be spread throughout the Capital: Wang Mama and Liu Mama were killed by the Su family. The reason why they gave a hundred silver taels was that they wanted to keep their mouths shut. Wang Mama’s son, Wang Zhu, was greedy. He wanted to blackmail even more after he got a hundred taels. The Su family ignored him and even sent people to harm him secretly. Wang Zhu had no other choice, and in order to survive, he had to bring up the matter to Shun Tian Manor.

When Su Wenyuan heard this news, his face turned ashen. He immediately went to see his wife, the Eldest Madam, and asked, “Why are you giving them money that day when the family of Wang Mama and Liu Mama’s family came to the residence?”

The Eldest Madam Mng was in the middle of considering how to punish Mu Yunyao when she heard these words, so she didn’t react for a moment. “Old Master, why are you so angry?”

“Do you know what the news is spreading in Capital now? I wonder how many people said that our Su family killed many people and then gave them a hundred silver taels as a fee to seal their mouths. If this continued, then the matter might unravel in front of the Emperor. Do the Su family still have the face?”

The Eldest Madam was shocked. “That day happened too suddenly, and coupled with the fact that someone was slandering Yuyi’s reputation outside, I was busy helping Yuyi correct her name and left it to Mu Yunyao to handle it....”

“Give it to her? You think this matter is not messy enough, and you still want to drag Mu Yunyao into this?”

“Old Master, what exactly is going on? I was confused even after hearing it. Even now, I still don’t understand.”

“Forget it, this matter is completely illusory. I’m not afraid of Shen Bingshu investigating it. Now I’ll checked the match cards in residence, is there anything that has been lost?”

The Eldest Madam quickly sent people to check, and then she replied that all the match cards intact and there was no loss.

The Eldest Madam heaved a sigh of relief, “Old Master, the match cards in residence is not very meticulously done. In order to discredit our Su family, someone intentionally faked it.”

Su Wenyuan nodded his head: “You go and thoroughly investigate the residence first, don’t spread any nonsense, I am going to the Shun Tian Manor right now.” If there was no problem with the match cards, the Su family’s suspicions could be cleared.

The Eldest Madam nodded, but her frown did not relax. She kept feeling that things weren’t so simple. While she was thinking, she heard Qi Mama report, “Madam, a woman come to report that she’s here to delivered something to Miss Mu.”

The Eldest Madam was extremely disgusted with Mu Yunyao, and upon hearing that, she sneered: “Sending all sorts of things to the residence, what realm do you take our Su Family to be? Did you ask clearly, what was the gift?”

“She said she was giving away the silver earned from Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo.”

The Eldest Madam’s eyes lit up. “Giving out silver? Do you know how much she’ll give her?”

“This … This servant didn’t ask.” Qi Mama’s face was pale. Even now, her throat still ached faintly, but she had failed to do anything in Baohua Temple and had been ordered to punish her several times by Su Yuyi. Afraid that her position was not preserved, she decided to make amends, so she didn’t dare to rest. She still served the Eldest Madam carefully.

The Eldest Madam’s eyes darted up and down as she smiled coldly, “Call her in. I’ll see her in person.”

“Yes.”

The person who came to send off the silver was Yun Chun. Ever since Mu Yunyao had left Jingling City, Steward Qin had wholeheartedly plotted to set up a Bu Xian Luo in the Capital. The place already had some prospects, so Yun Chun brought people here to settle down first.

Mu Yunyao had only received the news before going to Baohua Temple. Due to the lack of time, she didn’t even have the time to see Yun Chun. After the accident at Baohua Temple, she had asked Si Shu to contact her and ask her to help with something.

Yun Chun’s appearance could not be considered outstanding, but the aura around her body made people feel particularly comfortable. However, she had deliberately restrained her aura, making it seem much more ordinary.

“Greetings, Madam.” Yun Chun came in and knelt down, looking a little stiff.

Seeing her expression, the Eldest Madam calmed down. It seemed that she was just a servant, “Are you here to give the silver to Yunyao?”

“Yes, Madam.”

“Yunyao went to Baohua Temple to pray. She hasn’t come back yet, so give it to me.”

Yun Chun looked hesitant, “Is this inappropriate?”

“Hmm? Could it be that the Su family be ignorant of this little bit of silver?” The Eldest Madam’s expression did not change, and her voice turned colder.

Yun Chun quickly bowed, his expression becoming more reserved, “I would never dare to think like that. Since Young Miss is not here, then I shall hand over the silver to Madam first. I’ll have to trouble Madam to pass it to Young Miss.”

The Eldest Madam slightly nodded her head, “En, Yunyao should be back tomorrow. It’s not easy for you to come all the way from Jingling City, so you should stay in residence for two days first.”

Yun Chun was pleasantly surprised. “Yes, thank you Madam.”

“Qi Mama, take her away and settle her down.”

“Yes.”
