Chen Yan

Chapter 154 Adding Insult to Injury

Autumn Eleventh Mistress's expression was sharp. Compared to her previous disheveled and haggard appearance, she was not only less miserable but even more charming than she had been two or three months prior.

Although she had been punished by the Emperor for slandering Yu Qingwu, and could only marry Xie Qiyun as a concubine, incurring Xie Qiyun's displeasure,

she and Xie Qiyun had, after all, grown up together. Furthermore, she had always been good at flattering and coquetry, acting pitiful and presenting a worshipful attitude in front of him every day, and using various tricks in bed. Thus, it didn't take long for her to reconcile with Xie Qiyun.

Now, they were even closer than before, completely overshadowing You Wanwan.

In addition, her father had told her that everything at home had been arranged and that Yu Qingwu would be killed sooner or later, so she stayed in the First Prince's residence with peace of mind. Coupled with the favor she was receiving, she couldn't help but become spoiled and extremely complacent.

Seeing the maid's panicked appearance at this moment, she only felt unlucky, and her attitude was naturally even worse.

Seeing Autumn Eleventh Mistress's expression, the maid moved her lips slightly, hesitant to speak.

So, Autumn Eleventh Mistress became impatient and urged her with a gloomy face, "You lowly servant, why do you have such an unlucky look? Did someone in the family die?"

Since she had ruined her image before, Autumn Eleventh Mistress no longer bothered to pretend in front of these servants.

The maid didn't want to say it at first, but after being cursed by Autumn Eleventh Mistress, she stammered back, "Esteemed Concubine Qiu, indeed... indeed someone died. Your... your mother died..."

"What mother? You say..."

"What did you say? You said my mother died?" Autumn Eleventh Mistress originally wanted to ask the maid if her mother had died, but when she realized what she had said, she was immediately stunned.

In an instant, the triumphant look on her face was replaced by shock and anger.

With a bang, she grabbed the comb in her hand and threw it at the maid's face, roaring, "You damned lowly servant, what nonsense are you talking about! How dare you curse this palace's mother, be careful this palace will take your head!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand to slap the maid.

Just then, a flamboyant and smug female voice came from outside the door.

"Oh, Autumn Sister, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

As if on purpose, You Wanwan had specially put on a festive red dress today, her makeup was also rich and delicate, and she wore a lot of jewelry, looking like she was celebrating the New Year.

She hooked her lips and walked into the room from outside with a smile, gently waving her hand at the reprimanded maid.

Autumn Eleventh Mistress was still in a rage. Seeing You Wanwan ordering the people in her room, she was even more annoyed and questioned You Wanwan with dissatisfaction, "Elder Sister You, Qingzhu is a person from my room. What do you want to do by ordering her away like this?"

"What do I want to do? What can I do? Can I possibly hit you?" You Wanwan chuckled lightly. Before Autumn Eleventh Mistress could speak, she added extremely arrogantly, "Besides, if I want to hit you, do I need to dismiss the servants?"

"I came here today to tell you some news. But I was afraid that you would be stimulated and lose your composure again, disgracing the First Prince, so I dismissed all the servants."

"Autumn Sister, why are you still so ignorant?"

You Wanwan said in a sarcastic tone and sat down on the chair in the room.

Seeing her gloating look, Autumn Eleventh Mistress felt a chill in her heart and had a faint ominous premonition.

She bit her lip, pretended to be calm, and asked You Wanwan with a sneer, as if holding on to the last glimmer of hope, "Elder Sister You, what are you talking about? I am, after all, a daughter of the Autumn family, and a legitimate daughter from a scholarly family. I have learned everything since I was a child, including Qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Etiquette was also taught by experienced matrons in the palace. How can I lose my composure over a small matter? I am not raised by those military generals, barbaric and rude."

Autumn Eleventh Mistress spoke with veiled barbs, both praising herself and stepping on You Wanwan.

If it were in the past, You Wanwan would be furious.

She picked up the tea and took a light sip, looking at Autumn Eleventh Mistress as if she were a clown, and snorted with a smile, "Autumn Sister, what's the use of saying these things? Do you think I will be angry because you scolded me for being barbaric and rude?" But at this moment, she did not have any anger, and even had a hint of a smile in her eyes.

"Oh, speaking of which, I also feel sorry for you. Originally, you were born as an illegitimate daughter, and from birth, you were carrying a curse and being pointed at. Your mother spent so many years finally holding you up to become the number one talented woman in the capital, and also made people forget your original humble status."

"But you happened to get a bad reputation as a slut for the sake of the First Prince. Now it's even worse. When something happened to the Autumn family, they actually used your mother to take the blame. It's a pity, she didn't even eat a full meal when she died, and her head fell off alive."

"The ground was covered in blood, and no one even collected her body. It was directly thrown into the mass grave. It should have been dismembered by wild wolves by now..."

The more You Wanwan spoke, the more excited she became, her tone so enthusiastic, as if she were talking about some extremely funny joke.

Autumn Eleventh Mistress, on the other hand, was trembling all over. Her face, which was covered in heavy makeup, still couldn't hide her collapse and fear.

She glared at You Wanwan, her eyes bloodshot.

Suddenly, she pounced on You Wanwan, crying and shouting, "You... stop talking! Stop talking!"

You Wanwan was the daughter of a military general, so her skills were naturally also good. Autumn Eleventh Mistress pounced over, but she immediately dodged.

Then, she strode out of the room with a smile.

Leaving Autumn Eleventh Mistress squatting on the ground, hoarse with grief.

"Yu Qingwu, it's you! It's all your fault, I'm going to kill you! Kill you!"
