The Fierce Illegitimate Miss Chapter 104

Chapter 104

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Since that day, Lord Xu had not come to find Yu Linglong again, nor had anyone sent her gifts or letters, but the news about Lord Xu’s troubles has gradually disappeared. As if he hadn’t been a maverick in the capital for more than ten years, the prodigal son left just like that.

Even Yu Linglong felt a little weird. Could it be that this guy had really changed his temper? Was it that he had really moved his mind away from her?

After more than ten days of such calm, an unexpected guest suddenly came to Pinlan Garden.

She was an uninvited guest, but in fact, this person was also a member of the Yu house, but she hadn’t had any dealings with Yu Linglong for a long time, so she was considered a rare guest.

On this day, Yu Linglong had just woken up after a nap in the afternoon, Ling’er came in and said, “Miss, the Third Lady is here. She has been waiting outside for a long time.”

Yu Linglong was a little surprised. Yu Qianliu? What was she doing?

Since the last time Yu Qianliu tricked her into a remote courtyard by helping Yu Qianjiao to lure her into being surrounded by fierce dogs, she was turned against the general. Yu Qianliu, a tricky girl, had never dared to provoke her. Even if you accidentally met her in the garden, she would obediently escape with her tail between her legs. Why did she suddenly come to visit her today?

Yu Linglong slowly got up from the couch. Xuan Cao put on a coat for her, and said, “Miss, do you want to go out and see her?”

Yu Linglong sneered, “Naturally I want to go.”

Everyone had come to the door, did she want to call someone out without saying anything? Yu Linglong wanted to see what this little girl was going to do.

Outside, Yu Qianliu wore a homely silver-red hibiscus narrow-sleeved short coat, tied with a rose and purple fine pleated skirt, with a fallen horse bun on her head, and a gilt hairpin with a gra.s.shopper. She looked very neat and tidy sitting upright on the stool, sipping a cup of tea.

Seeing Yu Linglong coming out, Yu Qianliu hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: “How are you?”

Yu Linglong looked at her a few times and only felt that Yu Qianliu was a little bit more provocative than before, with the popular drunken makeup on her face, which made her look a few years older. She did not look like a young fifteen-year-old girl; on the contrary, she was more charming than a young girl.

It seemed that after Mu s.h.i.+’s death, Yu Qianliu’s life was very good. She had a lot of energy, and she was even more articulate. At least seeing Yu Linglong, Yu Qianliu didn’t keep her head down like before.

It’s just that Yu Linglong didn’t care about Yu Qianliu’s living conditions. She just glanced at Yu Qianliu, then went straight to the seat of honor and sat down. She took the small white cup from the hands of Xuan Cao, and asked faintly: “Why did you come?”

Yu Qianliu walked towards her a few steps, walked a proper distance, stopped wittily, and said with a smile: “The day before yesterday, I got top-quality makeup and satin, the colors and patterns of which are all excellent. I can’t use these materials alone, because it’s almost the end of the year. It’s better to distribute them to the sisters so we will all be on good terms.”

Yu Linglong heard these words numbly, and she couldn’t help feeling a chill in her heart. Be on good terms? Who would want to be on good terms with her? When Yu Qianliu opened her mouth and scolded, she didn’t mention any sisters. When she tricked her to go to Yu Qianjiao and be besieged by a bulldog, she didn’t think of being on good terms with her sisters!

Yu Linglong sneered secretly in her heart, but she still remained calm, wanting to see what Yu Qianliu wanted to do.

She must have an ulterior motive. This Yu Qianliu used to bully her and tease her, or hide far away, so how could she come to her to show her favor?

Seeing Yu Linglong’s skeptical look, Yu Qianliu added a few more words: “I have just been to the Second Sister. She already has them. I left this one specially for my sister.”

As she spoke, she pointed to the gorgeous cloth on the table, with a flattering smile on her face.

Yu Linglong was silent and looked at her deeply. Yu Qianliu only felt that her eyes were like two cold knives, and her eyes were kept cold from the back of her spine.

After a while, Yu Linglong said faintly: “Xuan Cao, put the fabric away. Don’t lose the goodwill of others.”

This was accepted, and Yu Qianliu was greatly relieved. She deliberately pretended not to hear the meaning of Yu Linglong’s words, and said, “What is my sister doing at home these days?”

Ignoring Yu Qianliu’s empty words, Yu Linglong took a sip of tea and said, “What else do you have?”

Yu Qianliu shut her mouth, and her face couldn’t help but feel sour. She originally thought that with a good piece of cloth, she could ease the relations.h.i.+p with Yu Linglong a little bit. She talked to her, but it was a pity that people just take things and don’t give a good face.

Smiling embarra.s.singly, Yu Qianliu said: “The weather has been cold recently. I’m afraid my Fourth Sister will get bored at home. I want to ask my sister to go to the temple fair together.”

Yu Linglong raised her eyebrows. Yu Qianliu’s courage really grew, and she dared to ask her out?

Seeing Yu Linglong’s scrutinizing gaze, Yu Qianliu looked away with a guilty conscience and cleared her throat: “If it’s too troublesome, then you don’t need to go to the temple fair. I know that a tailor shop just opened at the front door. I heard that the embroidery work there is very good. We could go cut a few sets of clothes together instead? It just so happens that the fabric is ready.”

An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Yu Linglong’s mouth. Yu Qianliu changed her way and wanted her to go out!

It seemed that she must have made a lot of preparations before she came. She found another reason for her failure. She gave fabrics to show her diligence, and she could also create opportunities for going to the tailor shop. It’s really difficult for Yu Qianliu, she thought about it a lot.

Yu Linglong snorted coldly. The last time she lied for Yu Qianjiao and she hadn’t had time to settle the account. This time, would she take her somewhere else?

Now that you have visited, don’t blame the sister for being polite!

A faint smile appeared on her bright face, and the whole room suddenly became warmer. Yu Linglong’s cherry lips lightly opened and she said, “Okay, let’s go together tomorrow.”

Hearing Yu Linglong’s affirmative reply, Yu Qianliu seemed to be greatly relieved. She stood up with a smile on her face and said goodbye: “Then I will come over to pick up my sister tomorrow morning.”

After Yu Qianliu left, Yu Linglong said, “Take out the fabric and have a look. Is there any problem with it?”

Xuan Cao and Ling’er quickly took out the piece of fabric that had just been put into the cabinet, took a look at it, and cut a small piece, and burned it to smell it. She said “Miss, I didn’t find anything. It’s strange.”

Yu Linglong nodded. Since the materials were okay, it meant that things going on were tedious.

Yu Linglong said in a low voice, “Go and ask people to watch her.”

Knowing that the young lady was suspicious, the two maids rushed down, and Ling’er left the door immediately.

In the evening, Ling’er came back, taking advantage of the maids’ efforts to prepare meals, and reported the news to Yu Linglong.

Listening to Ling’er’s words, Yu Linglong twitched the corners of her mouth, revealing a cold smile.

This Yu Qianliu was really dishonest. On such a cold day, she will go to the tailor’s shop again tomorrow morning, but this night, she actually called the carriage to go out again.

It seemed that last time she didn’t clean up Yu Qianliu. This little girl thought she was a good bully, and actually wanted to set her up again?

Did she think she was a little rabbit, jumping obediently into the trap over and over again?

Yu Linglong put away the smile on her face, gracefully picked up the chopsticks with her slender hand, took a mouthful of the mushrooms and duck feet, and ate slowly.

This time, she won’t be merciful anymore.

…

Early the next morning, Yu Qianliu came to Pinlan Garden.

Before entering, she smiled and called to the room: “Is the Fourth Sister getting up?”

Xuan Cao raised the curtain. Yu Qianliu entered the room and saw Yu Linglong sitting at the table, Ling’er helping her rinse her mouth.

Yu Qianliu stepped forward and said with a smile: “The Four Sister has been waiting for a long time, let’s go now.”

Yu Linglong looked up at her and smiled slightly: “Well, let’s go.”

Some people are really impatient, even so impatient to find death.

The cold winter sun shone on the two of them. Yu Linglong was wearing a Xiangfei golden brocade moiré short coat, and a turquoise green double-ring belt was tied around her waist, which hung over the lake-blue moonflower skirt. The upper part is covered with a sable wind collar, trimmed with silver-gray fox hair, which looked like hibiscus on the cheeks, dotted with stars, and pink lips as soft as stamens, looking extraordinary.

Even though Yu Qianliu, who was wearing a lush green brocade leather jacket, had also deliberately dressed up, she was suddenly overshadowed by the unparalleled Yu Linglong.

The two walked in tandem in the garden. Yu Qianliu was always a step away from Yu Linglong. From time to time, she asked for gossip, and Yu Linglong nodded occasionally as a response.

Today was destined to be an uneasy day. After the two walked a short while, they met another lady from the Yu family.

Yu Qianyun was wearing a small homely green satin coat and a plain white silk skirt, with only a little maid beside her, and she walked over from the corridor.

Seeing the two of them, Yu Qianyun stepped forward slowly, lowered her eyes, and smiled and said, “Good day Third Sister, good day Fourth Sister.”

Since the death of Lady Yu, Yu Qianyun was living in the Yu house. Originally, Lady Yu wanted to speak to Yu Qianyun about arranging a marriage, since her aunt handed her over, but she had not had time to find a suitable family. After that, many things happened in the Yu Mansion one after another, and everyone was overwhelmed. No one remembered Yu Qianyun, the Fifth Lady who had just returned to the mansion.

Yu Linglong heard Ling’er mention it several times, but Yu Qianyun remained at the front door and stayed in the yard working or reading and writing. She was very obedient. The people next to her were all the old people of Lady Yu. This Fifth Lady had a fairly comfortable life.

When Yu Qianliu saw Yu Qianyun, her slumped shoulders straightened up unconsciously, revealing a meanness that Yu Linglong hadn’t seen in a long time: “Fifth Sister is really leisurely, not staying inside in the cold weather. What are you doing outside?”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

It seemed that Yu Qianliu was still the same; she wanted to step on her feet subconsciously when she saw her sister.

As if she hadn’t heard the contempt in Yu Qianliu’s words, Yu Qianyun smiled softly and said: “I just came back from the backyard to see if the plum blossoms there.”

Yu Qianliu glanced at the two dead branches in the hands of the little maid behind her. There were a few small buds dotted on them. She couldn’t help but sarcastically said: “You are really leisurely to be in the mood to do this!”

Yu Qianyun’s mouth had her usual smile, and her voice is still gentle, but the words seemed to have no deep meaning: “I picked flowers to wors.h.i.+p the old lady.”

Yu Qianliu was choked. A pair of eyes with slightly raised corners looked straight at Yu Qianyun, but they didn’t know what to say to each other.

Yu Linglong looked at the two sisters coldly, and she suddenly felt a little funny.

Yu Qianyun looked soft and weak, but she was not a fool who allowed people to bully her.

Yu Qianyun obviously did not want to be entangled with Yu Qianliu more, and gently changed the subject: “Where are the two sisters going?”

Suddenly Yu Linglong felt interested, and replied leisurely: “We are going to the front door to stroll around.”

It was rare to see Yu Linglong speaking so peacefully. Both Yu Qianyun and Yu Qianliu were slightly startled.

Yu Qianyun immediately recovered, and looked at Yu Linglong’s face with a soft smile: “There are many fun places in the front door, and the two sisters will definitely have a good time shopping.”

Yu Qianliu looked at Yu Qianyun’s half-new clothes and snorted contemptuously. Yu Qianyun’s shoulders suddenly trembled imperceptibly.

Yu Linglong glanced at this scene, and the corner of her mouth couldn’t help but smile deeply: “Your Third Sister just got some good satin and gave me two pieces. We are going to the tailor to measure clothes.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Qianliu turned her face away, showing a little embarra.s.sment.

Without guessing, Yu Linglong knew that Yu Qianliu would definitely not give Yu Qianyun any fabric. By saying this, she meant to add fire to the sisters who originally disliked each other.

Sure enough, Yu Qianyun’s gentle smile became a little reluctant, and she lowered her head and said faintly: “Well, enjoy yourselves.”

Yu Linglong withdrew her bare hand from the silver fox leather m.u.f.f, straightened the red-golden phoenix hairpin on her head, smiled gently, and left with Yu Qianliu.

Even if she didn’t look back, she could feel the complicated gaze behind her, staying behind them for a long time.

At the gate, a black wagon had been waiting for a long time, and Yu Linglong deliberately fell behind a few steps and winked at Ling’er.

Yu Qianliu didn’t notice this scene. She got into the car first with some eagerness, and she stretched out her hand to pull Yu Linglong herself: “Fourth Lady, take it easy.”

Yu Linglong took a deep look at her, stretched out her small hand, and placed it on Yu Qianliu’s.

A sudden icy temperature came from her palm as if a cold knife had pierced her bone marrow. Yu Qianliu’s hand couldn’t help but shake.

Why was there such a small hand that was so soft and boneless, yet so powerful that it made her tremble?

Yu Qianliu suppressed the fear on her face and entered the carriage with Yu Linglong. Immediately, Yu Qianliu’s personal servant also got in.

Ling’er lowered the curtain outside and sat outside with the coachman.

Yu Qianliu calmed her mind and asked casually, “Why doesn’t the Fourth Sister’s maid come in?”

Yu Linglong was sitting in the carriage with a ring of s.h.i.+ny silver fur on her hood, which made her chin look sharp and her eyes gleam.

At this moment, she looked at Yu Qianliu, smiled slightly, and said, “My maid is awkward, so I have her sit outside.”

Yu Qianliu didn’t take it to heart. She was a maid, how could she mind whether she was sitting inside or outside.

She only needed to trick Yu Linglong out. As long as Yu Linglong left the Yu house, her task will be completed.

However, looking at Yu Linglong with a calm face in front of her, Yu Qianliu still couldn’t help the fear in her heart. If this time was the same as last time, then Yu Linglong would definitely not let her go…

Thinking of Yu Linglong’s methods, she couldn’t help s.h.i.+vering in a shrewd manner.

But immediately, another fanatical thought overwhelmed the fear deep in her heart. As long as this thing was done, not only can we get rid of Yu Linglong, the commoner’s daughter who had been oppressing her forever, but also get the promise of a glorious marriage, and then she wouldn’t have to worry for the rest of her life.

Moreover, that person was not an idiot like Yu Qianjiao, setting a trap full of loopholes…

This time, they will be successful!

The carriage moved slowly, and there was silence inside and outside the carriage.

The carriage walked for a while, and Yu Qianliu guessed it was about time. She deliberately lifted the curtain on the car window, coughed loudly, and said, “It’s almost here—”

When she saw the situation outside the window, she couldn’t help but immediately change her face.

Where was the way to the front door? It turned out to be a very secluded alley!

Yu Qianliu was taken aback, and immediately shouted, “Stop!”

Yu Linglong looked at her coldly, with an imperceptible smile on her lips.

Before Yu Qianliu realized that something was wrong, she lifted the curtain and yelled at the coachman: “What did you do? You don’t know the way to the front door? What is this place? How could you take us here!?”

She asked hurriedly, scolding the honest driver so hard that he dared not lift his head. He just whispered and said, “This is what the Fourth Lady ordered…”

Yu Linglong!?

Yu Qianliu’s complexion changed drastically, and she turned her head quickly to meet Yu Linglong’s cold eyes.

“If you have anything to say, get out of the carriage and we’ll talk.”

Yu Qianliu immediately came back to her senses. Yu Linglong knew that this was a scam, but followed her out with a trick. What was she going to do!?

Just now Yu Qianliu, who poked her head out of the car and shouted at the coachman, suddenly retracted into the corner of the carriage, grabbing the little maid and blocking her in front of her, as if she could escape from Yu Linglong’s disposal.

“No! I won’t get out of the carriage, I won’t get out of—”

Yu Linglong looked at Yu Qianliu, shaking her whole body contemptuously. She was so courageous, she wanted to learn other people’s design to frame her? What a waste!

Yu Linglong glanced at Ling’er. Ling’er knowingly took out a silver coin from her sleeve and stuffed it with the coachman, and said, “Go to the alley and watch what is happening outside.”

After the coachman left, Yu Linglong got out of the carriage and said coldly, “Let her pull me out!”

Ling’er immediately got into the carriage, pushed away the little maid standing in front of Yu Qianliu, and unceremoniously pulled the trembling Yu Qianliu out of the carriage!

Yu Qianliu was pushed by Ling’er into the snowdrift by the side of the road. Her shoulders shrunk in fright, and she looked at Yu Linglong pleadingly: “Fourth Sister, if you have something to say—”

Yu Linglong frowned slightly, looking at her with a pitiful look, and asked coldly: “Tell me, who made you do this?”

Yu Qianliu was so scared that she was shocked. Did she know?

No, it’s impossible! She quickly thought about her plan from start to finish. She didn’t show any flaws, and no one in the Yu house knew about this. How could Yu Linglong know?

It must be Yu Linglong who wanted to deceive her!

Thinking of this, Yu Qianliu hugged her shoulders and cried with a face like pear blossoms in the rain, as if she had been wronged: “Fourth Sister, what are you talking about? I really don’t understand!”

Yu Linglong snorted coldly. She still dared to be tough!

“You don’t understand? I don’t think you can remember it, Ling’er, help her think about it!”

Ling’er had been with Yu Linglong for so long, so she naturally knew what Yu Linglong meant. She stepped forward without hesitation, picked up the snow on the ground, and stuffed it into Yu Qianliu’s mouth!

Yu Qianliu was caught off guard. Her mouth was full of ice-cold snow, with lots of sand on it. She shook her head desperately, trying to get rid of Ling’er’s hand.

Although Ling’er was young, she was also a martial artist. How could the strength of a weak daughter like Yu Qianliu be able to get rid of her? She firmly pinched Yu Qianliu’s chin with one hand and kept pus.h.i.+ng large and small pieces of snow into her mouth with the other hand.

The icy snow gradually turned into muddy water, flowing down the corners of Yu Qianliu’s mouth. Yu Qianliu was choked and coughed and couldn’t even breathe.

Yu Linglong saw it was good enough, so she ordered: “Okay, stop.”

As soon as Ling’er stopped moving, Yu Qianliu fell on the snowdrift and vomited violently. She vomited so hard that she even vomited up her breakfast before sitting up weakly.

Yu Linglong said coldly: “Do you remember now?”

Yu Qianliu panted heavily, weakly unable to even hear the voice: “I, I really didn’t—”

She couldn’t tell her! If she told the truth, Yu Linglong would definitely kill her immediately! If you don’t admit it, you can’t get away with it.

Yu Linglong watched her leaning on the snowdrift, but she still looked like she didn’t say anything, she couldn’t help but sneer slightly.

She gave her a chance. If she didn’t say it, don’t blame the sister for being rude!

The little hand that had been sleeved all the time slowly came out, then pushed Ling’er aside. Yu Linglong slowly walked to Yu Qianliu.

Yu Qianliu was so scared that she shrank back subconsciously. Yu Linglong suddenly shot her hand out, grabbed her collar, and gently and skillfully lifted her up!

“You’re not telling me, right?” Her pointed chin raised, Yu Linglong’s eyes were sharp as a sc.r.a.ping steel knife, “I will ask you one last time, are you telling me or not!”

Yu Qianliu’s face was full of tears, and thin ice marks formed in the cold wind, and big tears were still pouring out of her eyes. Her lips were trembling, with a pitiful look of pleading: “Fourth Sister, you misunderstand me, I really just came to you to go to the tailor shop…”

Her moist eyes were drenched, and they suddenly turned into ice. Yu Linglong smiled coldly, and slowly strengthened the hands holding Yu Qianliu’s collar.

We’ll see if you still won’t dare to admit your mistakes when you’re near death!

With a bang, the brand-new leather jacket on Yu Qianliu’s body suddenly opened a long gap, and a large cold wind broke into Yu Qianliu’s s.h.i.+rt without mercy.

“Ah—” Yu Qianliu screamed out!

Before she could finish her scream, Yu Linglong had already stripped off her clothes, and even her inner clothes were torn apart, leaving only the undergarments.

Yu Qianliu immediately shrank into a ball with the cold, and her delicate skin turned bluish-purple in a flash on the gray snowdrift, looking shocking.

“Still nothing?” Yu Linglong spits out two words coldly, her voice as sharp as a cold blade.

Yu Qianliu was so cold that she couldn’t say a word. She just shook her head sadly and refused to admit it.

It’s not that she didn’t want to say it, but she knew that once she said it, her fate would be worse than right now!

Seeing that she still refused to confess, Yu Linglong even smiled without anger and shook her head with a little regret.
