The Fierce Illegitimate Miss Chapter 96

Chapter 96

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Early the next morning, Second Lady Mu personally brought a group of aggressive working women and young maids to the Yu Mansion .

Yu Linglong always got up late, and Pinlan Garden had not yet opened the door at this time . It was surrounded by shadows of bamboo and swaying flowers, appearing very calm and peaceful .

Second Lady Mu looked at the closed door and couldn’t help but sneer . This daughter of a commoner probably knew that she was going to bring someone to catch her, so she closed the door and didn’t dare come out!

She snarled at the women under her, and said arrogantly: “Knock on the door for me!”

The women got the mistress’ order and immediately walked forward with their arms and sleeves rolled up, knocking on the door .

In Pinlan Garden, the few little maids who were sweeping suddenly heard the heavy knock on the door, and couldn’t help being shocked . Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to open the door .

After pounding it for a long time, seeing that there was no movement in the courtyard, Second Lady Mu was even more sure that Yu Linglong was afraid of her . She couldn’t help being proud, and instructed the women to move the rocks and smash towards the gate!

Suddenly, where the wooden gate couldn’t withstand such a big impact, a big hole was smashed open .

The women reached out through the hole and opened the latch . A group of people followed Second Lady Mu and broke into Pinlan Garden fiercely .

Second Lady Mu was standing in the middle of the yard, raising her head to look at the surrounding environment, looking at the s.h.i.+vering little maid hiding beside her, she curled her mouth and looked away disdainfully .

Even a commoner’s daughter in the Yu Mansion can live in such a neat yard . It seemed that General Yu’s Mansion made a lot of money .

Second Lady Mu thought of the carefree look of General Yu yesterday, and she was delighted . As long as she helped the Yu house deal with this commoner’s daughter, would Yu Weiwu and Yu Qianjiao still regard their second aunt as a great benefactor? At that time, were these things in the Yu house not something she can take or sell if she wanted to!?

Thinking of this, Second Lady Mu’s thin eyes perked up, and she shouted at the main room .

“Yu Linglong, you mean girl, take your time coming out!”

After knocking on the door, smas.h.i.+ng the door, and yelling, a shout finally came from the room .

The door opened and a slender young girl walked out slowly .

Yu Linglong was wearing a lake-green hibiscus brocade and moonflower dress . She loosely put her hair in a bun with a silver hairpin with a magpie and a plum . Her face was as pink and daisy, looking lively like a fairy, and as beautiful as a spring flower . She was cold as a December snow, standing condescendingly on the steps .

“How come there are so many mad dogs barking and calling so noisily in the early morning! People are sleeping!”

Sweeping contemptuously over the scowling women in the yard, Yu Linglong snorted disdainfully .

Second Lady Mu did not expect Yu Linglong to open her mouth and scold her . She was at a loss for words . She looked at Yu Linglong fiercely and said loudly, “Who do you think is a mad dog!?”

Yu Linglong brushed the broken hair in front of her forehead, looked at Second Lady Mu with a funny face, and said, “Of course, whoever answers, I am talking about them . ”

Second Lady Mu became angry and scolded: “You shameless little b.i.t.c.h! Let’s see how we can deal with you!”

Having said that, she waved back and shouted: “Come on, grab this cheap girl!”

After receiving the mistress’s order, the women immediately rushed up and reached out to grab Yu Linglong’s arm .

Yu Linglong looked at these dirty and fat hands and frowned . She was too lazy to shoot at them, lifted her feet, and swept away quickly in the air .

Her green embroidered shoes kicked heavily on their hearts, one person and one foot kicked them away . In the blink of an eye, several stout figures rolled down from the steps, all lying on the ground shouting loudly in pain .

Second Lady Mu only felt that her eyes flashed, and a few powerful women had fallen to the ground . She was shocked . It seemed that this commoner’s daughter was really not easy!

Second Lady Mu looked at the dozen people behind her, gritted her teeth, and said, “Come on with me!”

She didn’t believe it . Could all these people clean up a mere commoner’s daughter!?

More than a dozen women immediately rushed up and saw that the first few pioneers were beaten to the ground . Some clever people quickly picked up rocks, brooms, and other things from the ground, waving them and rus.h.i.+ng towards Yu Linglong!

Yu Linglong gave a cold snort, raised her bare hand quickly, and accurately grasped the wrist of the woman in front of her . With a stroke of force, the brick in her hand hit the other person’s forehead, and only a miserable cry was heard . The face of the woman who was beaten was covered with blood, and blood was pouring out of her wounds!

Before everyone came back to their senses, Yu Linglong had already grabbed the broom in one person’s hand quickly and slapped them on the head .

The sharp broom tail slapped on the heads and faces of these women . Everywhere they went, everyone was painted with blood, and the blood mixed with the dust on the broomsticks, hitting everyone screaming and unable to escape .

Second Lady Mu was stunned . This commoner’s daughter was much more fierce than she thought!

No wonder General Yu and Yu Weiwu didn’t order the servants of the Yu house to arrest her . With this skill and fierceness, who can beat it!?

Second Lady Mu looked at the group of defeated soldiers, knowing that something was wrong . Seeing that Yu Linglong was playing hard, she immediately wanted to retreat .

However, before she slipped through the gate, half a brick flew behind her, and came straight to her with a gust of wind!

Yu Linglong saw that Second Lady Mu wanted to escape, grabbed a brick in the hands of a woman who was clutching her, and threw it at Second Lady Mu’s back!

It’s not that easy to escape!

The brick directly hit Second Lady Mu’s waist, and when it hit the ground, she suddenly let out a scream and threw herself heavily on the ground .

At this time, Yu Linglong had cleaned up the group of ruthless women, and easily threw away the broom in her hand, and walked towards Second Lady Mu .

Second Lady Mu held her back, trying hard to sit up . Her thin eyes quickly aimed at the group of people she had brought, and she wanted to call a few women over to help .

Unexpectedly, with this look, she was immediately chilled .

The women who had smashed the door just now were covered in bloodstains from the broom, and they were staggering in the middle of the yard, groaning loudly .

Second Lady Mu did not expect that after such a short period of time, she would be fighting alone .

There was a sense of fear in her heart that she had never felt before . She raised her head and looked at Yu Linglong, who was approaching step by step . She screamed, “Don’t come over! Don’t come over!”

She struggled desperately, trying to get up and run away, but the brick on her waist was too heavy . She couldn’t use her strength at all, and all the struggles seemed to be her dying moments to Yu Linglong .

Yu Linglong drew the chilling dagger from her leg and sneered at Second Lady Mu .

“You smashed my door and you planned to leave like this?”

Second Lady Mu was so frightened that she was incoherent, and she tremblingly said: “I know I was wrong, how much money do you want? I will pay, I will pay!

Yu Linglong glanced at her contemptuously: “Silver? I don’t want silver . ”

Second Lady Mu endured the sharp pain on her waist and looked at Yu Linglong with a look of fear: “Then…what do you want? I will give it to you, as long as you don’t touch me!”

In the last sentence, her voice almost changed in shock .

It’s not that she wasn’t brave, it was that she had never seen such a woman that was so cruel!

Yu Linglong walked in front of her, slowly leaned down, and looked straight at the face that was deformed in horror .

“You smashed a hole in my door, so I will smash a hole in your face . ”

This light and fluttering sentence completely broke Second Lady Mu’s will . She wailed and hid behind her, desperately trying to climb out of the gate of Pinlan Garden, and screamed out for help: “Help me, help—”

The sharp shout stopped abruptly when Yu Linglong’s dagger suddenly approached her face .

The cool blade was close to Second Lady Mu’s face, and bursts of coolness seemed to penetrate directly into her internal organs, freezing her heart . The muscles on Second Lady Mu’s face kept twitching, but she couldn’t say anything .

Yu Linglong smiled coldly, with a slight force in her hand, and slammed it to Second Lady Mu’s lips!

“Wu—” With a terrible howl, Second Lady Mu covered her mouth and rolled on the ground in pain .

Seeing the hideous scar on Second Lady Mu’s lips, the turned muscles could no longer block the front teeth in her mouth . Yu Linglong nodded in satisfaction and stood up .

“This time, you can go away . ”

…

In the front hall, General Yu heard the news of Second Lady Mu’s injury and slammed the teacup in his hand at Yu Weiwu .

“This is all because of you!” General Yu was so angry that he couldn’t even beat his son . “Is that woman accommodating? You wanted to pick a fight, and see, was it good? Even your second aunt got in! We’ll see how you will explain this to the Mu family!”

When he thought that he was going to take out a lot of money to treat Second Lady Mu’s injuries, General Yu was in pain . If Second Lady Mu was dead, he would die . What else was there to look for and avenge? Did he suffer a double loss this time??

Yu Weiwu allowed the hot tea to flow down his body, but he did not move . He was also taken aback by the news . He really didn’t expect Yu Linglong to be so st.u.r.dy enough that more than a dozen st.u.r.dy women could not subdue her!

There was a fierce look in his eyes . He suddenly jumped up and grabbed General Yu, and shouted: “Father, I have a way to kill that woman . This time you must help me!”

General Yu pushed him away and said angrily: “Help you!? How can I help you! You have to think about how to deal with the aftermath first!”

Second Lady Mu was easy to deal with; it was just paying compensation . But what about Yu Linglong? The father and son were going to hand over Yu Linglong to the Mu family . Would Yu Linglong let them?

Of course, Yu Weiwu knew what General Yu was thinking . He let go of his hand and said coldly: “Father, now she hates you . If you don’t want to think of a solution, you will suffer in the future!”

Yu Weiwu had thought of this a long time ago . He moved Second Lady Mu from the Mu house . His purpose was to put pressure on General Yu . As long as General Yu agreed to deal with Yu Linglong, he would be on the same rope with him . General Yu didn’t want to provoke Yu Linglong, and Yu Linglong won’t let him go this time!

General Yu was so angry that he slapped the table, stood up, pointed his big hand at Yu Weiwu, but couldn’t speak for a long time .

It was not until this time that he knew that he had been schemed by his son!

After a long while, he sat back on the chair heavily and said seriously, “Tell me, what’s your idea!?”

A cold smile appeared on the corners of Yu Weiwu’s mouth . He walked forward and whispered a few words to General Yu .

General Yu’s expression became more and more ugly as he listened to Yu Weiwu’s words . Before Yu Weiwu could finish speaking, he jumped up abruptly: “What a fool! How can this work!?”

Yu Weiwu snorted and said, “Father, don’t worry, I will do this without fail . Besides, there is no need for you to come forward . You only need to open and close your eyes . ”

The muscles on General Yu’s brows jumped, and after all, he shook his head and refused: “Impossible, you should kill her as soon as possible! If it is discovered, the punishment would be to have our entire bloodline exterminated!”

Yu Weiwu gritted his teeth, and his face was full of hatred: “I don’t want as much, as long as a few hundred is enough . You can help me choose the closest and most reliable people . No one will know! If you want to get rid of that woman, there is only this way now!”

General Yu sat in a chair and didn’t speak for a while .

There was only the heavy breathing of father and son in the room, one after another . Yu Weiwu looked at General Yu without blinking, waiting for his decision .

After a long time, General Yu stood up suddenly and left without saying a word .

Looking at his back, Yu Weiwu smiled coldly .

He knew that General Yu’s att.i.tude was considered tacit approval for this matter .

Yu Weiwu’s eyes were full of fierce brutality as his eyes fell on the white cloth waving in the wind outside the door .

Yu Linglong, you are waiting for death!

…

In Pinlan Garden, Ling’er was talking vividly about the wonderful fight in the morning . When it came to those fangs and claws who were beaten by Yu Linglong until they begged for mercy, Xuan Cao and others couldn’t help but laugh .

Ling’er smiled and said, “Let them suffer a loss this time . Let’s see if they dare to provoke our young lady in the future!”

Yu Linglong leisurely leaned on the beauty couch . She only smiled when she heard that, and said nothing .

While talking and laughing, the little maid outside came to report: “Lady s.h.i.+ is here . ”

Yu Linglong nodded and said, “Please come in . ”

s.h.i.+ Huiru walked in, looking a little uncomfortable, and said, “I wanted to invite you to a banquet, but only when I came did I know that your mother had just pa.s.sed away—”

As soon as she said this, s.h.i.+ Huiru’s eyes stopped on Yu Linglong’s clothes, and she couldn’t say anything in shock .

At this time, Yu Linglong was wearing a water-red slanted buckle s.h.i.+rt with a homely aviary skirt tied underneath . She looked like a hibiscus and pretty as a spring breeze, with a smile on her face . She was obviously in a very good mood .

s.h.i.+ Huiru’s eyes widened, and she stammered: “Why aren’t you wearing mourning clothes?”

Yu Linglong couldn’t help but smile: “Mourning clothes? Why should I wear mourning clothes?”

s.h.i.+ Huiru looked at Yu Linglong in amazement, not knowing what to say for a while .

According to the rules, as Yu Linglong’s aunt, after her death, Yu Linglong must obediently observe a period of mourning for three years . During these three years, she could not discuss marriage or even go out at will, and she also had to copy the Cla.s.sics of Filial Piety from time to time .

But it hadn’t even been a week after Mu s.h.i.+’s death . As a commoner’s daughter, Yu Linglong was wearing scarlet clothes and chatting and laughing in her room . If this were to be spread out, wouldn’t it be controversial?

s.h.i.+ Huiru hesitated for a moment, and said, “Then…there is a chrysanthemum appreciation poem meeting in Prince Wu’s Mansion today, do you want to go?”

She thought that Yu Linglong couldn’t go out if she wanted to keep mourning at home, but looking at the current situation, Yu Linglong obviously didn’t take Mu s.h.i.+’s death seriously at all and did what she wanted to do .

Yu Linglong smiled and sat up lazily: “Why not? I want to celebrate!”

s.h.i.+ Huiru was completely stunned when she looked at Yu Linglong’s ruddy face and good mood .

It wasn’t until Yu Linglong was dressed and the two of them walked out that s.h.i.+ Huiru found her thoughts and said, “Yunzheng is sorry that she didn’t see you last time . She reminded me to invite you this time . She will be very happy to see you later . “

Yu Linglong’s heart moved slightly . Yang Yunzheng, that Yang Yunzheng again .

When she met Feng Sihuai at Pudu Temple last time, Yang Yunzheng also said that she would go there and eat vegetarian food with them, but she didn’t know why she didn’t show up . This time, it was Yang Yunzheng who asked her to partic.i.p.ate in Prince Wu’s poem meeting .

It was just fate . Does Yang Yunzhen really have such a great interest in her?

Glancing at s.h.i.+ Huiru, who knew nothing, Yu Linglong was secretly wary . [Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse . com]

…

In Princess Wu’s house .

At this time, the Mid-Autumn Festival was just over, and it was the time when the autumn was full . Princess Liyun from the Wu Palace specially ordered people to collect many famous chrysanthemums from various places and sent out invitations to invite various daughters in the capital to enjoy the chrysanthemums . She also wanted them to paint and write poetry about the chrysanthemums, so it was also known as the chrysanthemum appreciation poem meeting .

Yu Linglong and s.h.i.+ Huiru arrived in the garden of the Wu prince’s house and saw that the poem meeting was next to a spring . Skilled craftsmen built a three-meter-high rockery with strange stones beside the spring, and guided the spring water to the rockery . A small waterfall formed, and the spring water was rumbling, the waterfall was splas.h.i.+ng with a jade color, and the slanted water flowed along the bluestone waterway in the garden, forming a long and clear stream .

The famous chrysanthemums of various colors were placed in the hollow position on the rockery . They were colorful and beautiful and looked beautiful everywhere, and they blended the beauty of all kinds of chrysanthemums harmoniously together, feeling lofty . The splas.h.i.+ng water drops dripped on the chrysanthemum, making it more and more charming .

As for the second-grade chrysanthemums, they were placed around the rockery, stacked in layers, in various shapes such as peac.o.c.ks, unicorns, auspicious beasts, and so on . When you look around, you can see the splendid flowers, which made them unable to open their eyes .

Yu Linglong looked up and saw that the only chrysanthemum varieties she could name were Ancient River Rose, Dewy Spring Peach, Gilded Leopard, Flying Pearls, ​​Late Autumn Red, Peach Blossom Beauty, Pearl Lotus, Jingshan Purple Rose, Gold Friends.h.i.+p Rose, Jingshan Flowers and Birds, Red and Purple Dusk and so on .

The rest were more unrecognizable varieties . It seemed that this famous family in the capital spent money like dirt, on any precious things that would fill the river and the sea, and there was no such thing as humility to them .

There are few women who don’t like flowers . When s.h.i.+ Huiru saw this sea of ​​flowers, her mood suddenly improved . She took Yu Linglong from pot to pot to appreciate them, and she seemed very happy .

The two of them were admiring them, and suddenly there was a harsh voice behind them: “Hey, why is she here too? What kind of name does she have?”

Yu Linglong looked back and saw a girl in a goose-yellow breasted Ruijin skirt looking at her angrily . Her eyes were full of jealousy and anger . It turned out to be Princess Xinlin .

Yang Yunzheng smiled and stood not far behind her, lowered her head as if looking at a pot of Beilu Ruby ​​with interest .

Knowing that Yu Linglong and Princess Xinlin were not dealing with her, s.h.i.+ Huiru hurriedly pulled the corners of Yu Linglong’s clothes and motioned not to confront her .

Yu Linglong stopped slightly, looked at Princess Xinlin, and suddenly smiled faintly .

“A mouth like yours should really be washed with water, lest the flowers smell bad . ”

Princess Xinlin’s eyebrows were raised . She pointed at Yu Linglong and said angrily: “You—”

Yang Yunzheng’s voice suddenly rang and told her to go over: “Princess, come and take a look at this potted flower . It’s a rare twin!”

s.h.i.+ Huiru was busy taking advantage of the opportunity to pull Yu Linglong away . When she was far away from Princess Xinlin, s.h.i.+ Huiru patted her chest with confidence: “It’s all thanks to Yunzheng, or else you two would quarrel again . ”

Yu Linglong smiled coldly: “Why, are you afraid of her?”

s.h.i.+ Huiru opened her eyes wide and said, “What? You don’t appreciate her for helping you . The relations.h.i.+p between Princess Xinlin and Princess Liyun is very good . If you two quarrel, you will suffer!”

Yu Linglong looked at s.h.i.+ Huiru with a caring look and swallowed what she wanted to say .

She was not the kind of person who didn’t know anything at all . s.h.i.+ Huiru really cared about her, but this kind of care made her feel very uncomfortable .

Seeing Yu Linglong looking back outside, s.h.i.+ Huiru said: “The table is open, let’s go over . ”

Dozens of young ladies have been seated during the banquet . It seemed that the chrysanthemum-appreciating poetry meeting held by Princess Liyun had all the ladies from the capital .

It’s no wonder, all of these ladies knew poetry, and since they had this opportunity, they naturally wanted to try their skills .

If you win first place, then you can get the reputation of a talented woman in the capital .

After having the banquet, the maids came to change the food and put out various teas and fruits, and the poem meeting officially began .

Some of the ladies rested on their hands and pondered during the banquet, some left the feast and wandered among the flowers, and some stopped in front of a pot of flowers, racking their brains and contemplating . They were all very dedicated and wanted to take this opportunity to become famous for their poetry .

Yu Linglong leisurely drank tea and ate fruit, watching s.h.i.+ Huiru’s round face flush red, wanting to have the appearance of creating a masterpiece, and couldn’t help but laugh .

The life of these ladies in ancient times was really boring, but a small poetry club could be so popular .

After more than half an hour, the Princess Liyun stood up and said with a smile: “It looks like the ladies are all set, so write out a good copy and let everyone judge it . ”

After hearing this, the ladies walked out of the flower room one after another . The maids offered pens, ink, paper, and inkstones for all the ladies to use .

Lady w.a.n.g from the house of the Director of the Board of Rites drew a picture of an inky chrysanthemum, with the chrysanthemum hanging down and fluttering in the wind, which looked smart and charming, very pleasing to the eye .

Lady Zhou from the house of a cabinet official wrote a poem: “When the wind in the West Garden warms the flowers, the green warblers sing chaotically . Leaning on the fence silently cheris.h.i.+ng the fragrance, the b.u.t.terflies fly by . It’s the end of the year, have I lost weight? I furrow my eyebrows . The waves of Spring hang over the dusk . The swallows have not returned . ”

Lady Wan, from the family of a political messenger, wrote a poem: “The magnolia blossoms hide the frost, the beach chrysanthemums reflect the morning light . The dew smiles with hopes of dawn, and the strong wind blows a light fragrance . Thin budding leaves are light green, a round bouquet is soft yellow . Still preserving this year’s color, preparing fragrance for the years to come . ”

Yu Linglong felt it was a little ridiculous when she heard this literary sentimental nonsense . Perhaps this was the daily life of ancient women, taking pleasure in the minute details of writing .

Seeing that most of the young ladies had finished writing and drawing, a contemptuous voice suddenly rang, pointing in Yu Linglong’s direction .

“Everyone is reciting poems and paintings . Why doesn’t Fourth Lady Yu write? Is it because the poem meeting of Princess Liyun is too small and it is not worth letting Lady Yu write calligraphy?”

Yu Linglong didn’t need to look up . She knew that this was what Princess Xinlin said .

Who in the capital didn’t know the fourth lady of the Yu Family? The words of Princess Xinlin immediately attracted countless eyes of curiosity or jealousy .

Yu Linglong slowly put down the teacup in her hand and raised her head to meet Princess Xinlin’s sarcasm .

“Do you want to hear me compose poems?”

Princess Xinlin sneered: “Of course . Fourth Lady Yu, who is famous in the capital, must be very talented . Why don’t you let us know?”

There was a strong irony in these words, and some of the girls had already chuckled .

Who didn’t know that the Fourth Lady Yu was famous? How can such a fierce woman have any outstanding talents? Princess Xinlin clearly embarra.s.sed Yu Linglong .

s.h.i.+ Huiru on the side was really anxious for Yu Linglong . She kept glancing at Yang Yunzheng who was sitting next to Princess Xinlin, hoping that she could intercede for Yu Linglong so as not to be embarra.s.sed .

But Yang Yunzheng didn’t see her, and just smiled and said, “The princess said so, so don’t refuse, Fourth Lady Yu . ”

Yu Linglong sensitively noticed that s.h.i.+ Huiru beside her suddenly stiffened, as if she was shocked by Yang Yunzheng’s words .

No wonder, perhaps until now, s.h.i.+ Huiru still thought that Yang Yunzhen really appreciated Yu Linglong and wanted to get to know Yu Linglong, but Yu Linglong had already determined that this Yang Yunzheng was in the same group as Princess Xinlin .

Seeing Yu Linglong not speaking, Princess Xinlin became even more proud . She stood up and said pretentiously: “Since Fourth Lady Yu is not standing up, then I will . Do you dare fight with me?”

Looking at the puffy face of Princess Xinlin, Yu Linglong finally couldn’t help laughing .

Fight with poems?

Did this little girl think of herself as a terrific character? What poems was she going to fight with? This was a thing for a three-year-old kid! It was ridiculously naive!

Seeing Yu Linglong’s contemptuous smile, Princess Xinlin couldn’t restrain her temper . She fiercely grabbed a piece of paper from the hand of a lady next to her who was writing and started to write .

In less than half the time it takes to steep a cup of tea, she had finished writing . She dropped the brush in her hand, and patted Yu Linglong’s table, her voice full of provocation .

“What did you dare write?”

When everyone looked at it, they saw a poem written on the paper with clouds and flowing water . A young lady who was close couldn’t help but read aloud: “Everyone has yellow chrysanthemums, and Liangyuan alone has frost . A bright and still fine jade tree leans towards the Yu hall . The fairies wear coats of snow, not red clothing . It’s hard to see the white b.u.t.terflies, their hemp garments release a fragrance . The wind shakes the feathers, sucking on jade-like dew . The colors cover the silver well, covered with branches like a bed . The ca.s.sia bunches bloom, the plum blossoms are jealous and fragrant . Yao Hua sings, scattering a song . ”

As soon as her voice fell, a clear male voice rang: “Good poem, good poem . ”

Everyone was startled and followed the voice, only to see a long figure walking next to the rockery . He was dressed in white, with a white fan in his hand, a jade crown on his head, a green dragon pendant with a pierced flower around his waist, and a cyan silk ribbon hanging underneath . He was extraordinarily handsome, just like an immortal . At this moment, he was standing in the field of famous chrysanthemums, and behind him was a waterfall splas.h.i.+ng with jade, reflecting his silver light and a faint light . The surrounding scenery was dreamlike, but there was no way to conceal his handsomeness .

With a smile on his face, Lord Xu walked slowly towards the table . The young ladies stared at the scene in a daze, as if they had forgotten to look away . One of them was so dumbfounded she dropped her brush .

Among the people looking up, his gaze stayed only on Yu Linglong, until he walked to Princess Xinlin’s side, he withdrew his gaze, smiled and said, “Your literary talent is getting better—”

When he just said “good poem,” Princess Xinlin was still excited for a while, but seeing that his line of sight was always on Yu Linglong, the fool realized Lord Xu praised her .

Princess Xinlin stomped her foot fiercely and said angrily: “Brother Nine, you are not allowed to help her this time!”

Lord Xu praised her, but didn’t he want to relieve Yu Linglong? Princess Xinlin looked at Yu Linglong, who had a frosty face, and suddenly stopped getting angry, and ignored Lord Xu . She turned around, pointed her finger at Yu Linglong, and shouted: “If you refuse to write poetry this time, even if you admit that your talent is inadequate, it is embarra.s.sing!”

Yu Linglong slowly raised her eyes and looked at Princess Xinlin . Her eyes were cold, and she s.h.i.+vered involuntarily when she saw her .

She stood up and walked straight to Princess Xinlin, until she reached her side, and stopped .

Princess Xinlin couldn’t help thinking of the last time she was splashed with wine on her face by Yu Linglong, and subconsciously hid: “What are you doing?”

Yu Linglong looked at Princess Xinlin with a contemptuous smile on her face .

Leaning her head slightly, she said word by word to Princess Xinlin’s ear: “You know what, I hate it when people force me the most . ”

She spoke beautifully, but her words seemed to carry bursts of biting cold wind . Princess Xinlin couldn’t help s.h.i.+vering, and said stiffly: “You—”

Yu Linglong no longer looked at her anymore . When she raised her head, her icy gaze swept across all the ladies who looked at her during the banquet, and she said coldly: “If you want to listen, then listen to me!”

Her pink lips were like petals, and her words were like ice . Although they were reciting charming poems about flowers, it was chilling .

“When autumn comes on September 8th, I will kill a hundred flowers after they bloom . The fragrance will soar through Chang’an, and the city will be full of golden armor!”

In the early days of her journey, she had studied the history of the dynasty . This was a dynasty that had not been recorded in history books . The Tang Dynasty hadn’t ended yet, let alone the poet Huang Chao, so she unceremoniously read the poem, and took it as her own .

As she spits out the poem word by word, the bright suns.h.i.+ne in the sky gradually disappeared, and the wind was blowing on the ground . Numerous delicate petals and stamens were swept into the wind, blown weakly to the sky, and fell to the ground .

In the warm afternoon, the autumn breeze at this moment made everyone shrink their shoulders .

Princess Xinlin was stunned by the scene . Her eyes looked at Yu Linglong in disbelief . Her lips moved, but she couldn’t say a word .

On the contrary, Lord Xu came back to his senses after a brief astonishment .

The faint smile on his face gradually spread to the entire face, and Lord Xu softly praised, “Good poetry, good momentum!”

Needless to say, everyone knew that at the chrysanthemum appreciation poem meeting, there was no poem that could match Yu Linglong’s . Compared with Yu Linglong, other people’s poems and paintings were ridiculously naive, with neither profound meaning nor momentum .

The deep gaze of Lord Xu stared at Yu Linglong, full of surprise and admiration . After a while, he looked away reluctantly and looked at Princess Xinlin .

His eyes gradually became colder, and his voice became low, full of temptation but also full of alienated coldness: “This kind of thing will never happen again . ”

Princess Xinlin was only carefree and indifferent to Lord Xu . She was taken aback by the threat in his voice . She stared at Lord Xu with wide eyes, with a wounded look across her eyes: “Brother Nine, is she so worthy of your protection?”

Lord Xu stretched out his big hand, grabbing Yu Linglong’s slender waist, and said in frustration, “Yes, she is worth it, and it is worth my life to protect her!”

In the radiant garden, everyone’s eyes fell on Lord Xu and Yu Linglong . There were looks of surprise and jealousy .

At the place where everyone’s eyes gathered, Yu Linglong was not touched at all . Thinking of Lord Xu’s strange deeds and the high-profile pursuits of her, her patience for many days finally reached its limit .

Pus.h.i.+ng Lord Xu away fiercely, Yu Linglong said angrily: “Who the f.u.c.k wants your life? Get out!”

The illusion of the gifted and beautiful woman was instantly shattered, and Yu Linglong turned sharply in the horrified and surprised eyes and left without looking back .

Lord Xu didn’t look at the colorful expressions of other people at all, and immediately followed her: “Linglong, wait for me—”

Before the words fell, everyone felt a white light flas.h.i.+ng in front of them, and the next moment, the garden was full of screaming again .

Yu Linglong did not know when she had pulled out the dagger from her calf . She pointed it straight at Lord Xu’s throat, gritted her teeth, and said bitterly, “Follow me again and I will kill you!”

Lord Xu looked at Yu Linglong with angry eyes, and his upright figure froze .

After a long while, he nodded gently: “I won’t follow, but you should be careful and don’t hurt yourself . ”

Yu Linglong took a few steps back guardingly . Seeing that Lord Xu did not follow her anymore, she retracted the dagger and walked out .

In the same place, there was only a depressed figure looking at the direction Yu Linglong was leaving, without moving for a long time .

…

The days slowly pa.s.sed . Second Lady Mu’s injury was finally healed after Yu Linglong’s stab, but there was an eternal gap in her body . She leaked food when she ate, leaked water when she drank and leaked air when she talked . Even if she pursed her mouth, you could clearly see her two s.h.i.+ning front teeth .

A pitiful n.o.ble lady had a mouth like a rabbit’s, and could no longer come out to see people .

Naturally, the Mu Mansion was unwilling to forgive . In order to calm down the situation, General Yu had to agree to count out Mu s.h.i.+’s dowry and give it to the Mu Mansion . Of course, it was said that the Mu Mansion should keep it and collect the dowry for Yu Qianjiao .

After Mu s.h.i.+’s death, although Yu Qianjiao had decided to marry, she still had to wait three years before being married . In the three years, the money in Mu s.h.i.+’s dowry naturally belonged to the Mu house . The Mu house had the final say in how much Yu Qianjiao’s dowry was .

Second Lady Mu’s rabbit mouth was worth the generous profit .

The initiator of all this, Yu Linglong, did not take this matter to heart at all . She talked to Ling’er and others at home every day, eating snacks and drinking tea, living a leisurely life .

In the blink of an eye, Mu s.h.i.+ had been dead for more than half a month . In the Yu house, the mood of two consecutive funerals had gradually faded, and the days had returned to peace again .

It’s just that in this peace, there was always an undercurrent, and it seemed that a bigger storm was brewing .

Ever since Yu Linglong promised Concubine Mei to help her gain the power of the house, Concubine Mei often came to Pinlan Garden, and she seemed very impatient .

This afternoon, Concubine Mei came again, watching Yu Linglong unhurriedly tasting the new tea she had just delivered . Concubine Mei could not help asking: “Fourth Lady, do you have any plans for that matter?”
