Chapter 611: Retribution

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence’s mind was buzzing. She couldn’t care less about her mother-in-law and stared at the maidservant. “What, what did you say just now? Say it again.”

Third Prince fell into the water?!

This was impossible!

She must have heard wrongly just now.

The maidservant was also listless. Just now, when she was walking on the road, an unfamiliar maidservant appeared out of nowhere. She did not take a closer look, but the maidservant said to her in panic, “The Third Prince fell into the water. Hurry up and report to the Princess Consort. I still have to look

for Eldest Young Master…”

As soon as she finished speaking, she had already run away.

She stood rooted to the ground in shock.

She was Master’s maidservant. Although no one in the residence knew that the Third Prince was coming to the residence to admire the flowers, the capable people around Master knew a little.

The Third Prince had a n.o.ble status, so no one dared to joke about him.

These words did not seem to be fake. How could she dare to delay? “Third Prince fell into the water…

Something had really happened to the Third Prince?!

When the Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence heard this, she couldn’t lie to herself anymore and almost fainted on the spot. “How’s the Third Prince? Is he alright…”

The maidservant was stunned by the question and subconsciously shook her head. “I don’t know. I was carrying snacks and was about to send them to the Fangfei Courtyard when I met a maidservant. She asked me to come here and make a report…”

“You don’t know?!” The Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence was furious. She raised her arm and waved it forward. She slapped the young maidservant’s face.

In her anger, she did not control the severity of her actions. The young maidservant’s body tilted and she fell to the ground with a bang.

The Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence was still angry. She ranted, “You didn’t even investigate such a big matter clearly and came over to make a report…”

All the Madams and Madams present were also very shocked.

Indeed, after displaying a lack of virtue, wasn’t this retribution?!

The Third Prince had a n.o.ble status. Now that he had fallen into the water in the Duke Rong’s Residence, regardless of whether he was fine or not, the Duke Rong’s Residence would definitely be implicated. It was impossible for Consort Xu to let him off easily.

Yu Youyao’s lips curved up.

As the daughter of an external minister, she did not suffer a loss today. Even if there was conclusive evidence, because of the royal familys reputation and the dignity of the royal family, she could only pinch her nose and admit that she was unlucky.

If they did not blow things up and Duke Rongs Residence could not cover it up, they would most likely just apologize and compensate her. The big matter would be reduced to a small matter, and the small matter would be brushed off.

Logically speaking, the proper way would be for Imperial Consort Xu to send a messenger to her maiden family to investigate the Yu Residence first before matchmaking. When it was agreed, she would report it to the emperor and ask him to issue a decree.

However, Consort Xu had even skipped this step and directly used such a despicable move. It was obvious that she was determined to get her.

Such a thing could be avoided for the first time, but not forever.

As the eldest daughter of the first wife of the Yu Residence, there were some occasions that she couldn’t avoid even if she wanted to.

In that case, it was better to cut off Consort Xu’s thoughts quickly.

Yu Youyao directly took action against the Third Prince and asked Chun Xiao to change into the maid servant’s clothes of Duke Rong’s Residence. She returned to the Purple Myrtle Garden and pushed the Third Prince into the lake.

Meanwhile, she returned to the reception pavilion, pretending to want to say something but hesitating. It was enough to arouse her grandmother’s suspicion.

They put on a good act. Xia Tao was loyal to her master, so she revealed how the Duke Rong’s Residence wanted to scheme against her.

Indeed!

The Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence had pushed all the blame to Fifth Miss Yin. Without concrete evidence, Yu Youyao wouldn’t be implicated so the Duke Rong’s Residence was fearless.

In the crepe myrtle garden, after the Third Prince fell into the water, he would definitely call for help and alarm the guards guarding the door.

Chun Xiao had disguised herself as a maidservant of Duke Rong’s Residence and deliberately found someone on the way to report that the Third Prince had fallen into the water at the crepe myrtle garden.

She wanted everyone to know about this.

It was impossible for the Duke Rong’s Residence not to know that the Third

Prince was in the crepe myrtle garden. However, they had spent a lot of effort lure Yu Youyao into the crepe myrtle garden. No matter how stupid they were, they should understand what they were up to.

There was no need for any evidence Yu Youyao had directly brought this matter to light and publicly executed it. The Duke Rong’s Residence could not deny it even if they wanted to.

As for the prince…

Wasn’t it a serious crime for someone from the Duke Rongs Residence to be suspected of murdering a prince?

Murdering someone from the royal family was a serious crime. The emperor would definitely send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly, so the matter of the Third Prince’s “disgraced personal virtue” could not be hidden.

Concubine Lu had been sent to the cold palace. Although Consort Xu had gained power in the palace, she did not control everything. The battle for the position of heir had just begun. This matter was enough to give Consort Xu and the Third Prince a head-on blow.

She had also thought of knocking the Third Prince out and placing Yin Jinwei, who wanted to harm her, beside the Third Prince, ruining their reputation.

owever, Yu Youyao did not want to use such a move to ruin a woman’s reputation. At this point, Yin Jinwei would not be able to escape responsibility and her outcome would not be good.

Moreover, so what if the Third Prince and Yin Jinwei caused a scandal?

Yin Jinwei was just the daughter of a concubine. It was not enough for the Third Prince to travel all the way to the Duke Rong’s Residence to do such a despicable thing.

The Third Prince could just say that Yin Jinwei had deliberately seduced him, set him up, and framed him.

With the help of the Duke Rong’s Residence, Yin Jinwei was just a piece of white silk with a cheap life. However, to men, she was just a topic of conversation after dinner and was not worth mentioning.

After that, because of the reputation and the dignity of the royal family, no one dared to mention this matter again.

The Third Prince would not suffer any losses.

Everyone in the room was discussing softly about the Third Prince falling into the water.

The Princess Consort of Duke  Rong’s Residence Prefecture panicked

completely and wanted to go to the crepe myrtle garden to take a look.

At this moment, Old Madam Yu grabbed the teacup on the table and suddenly stood up from her chair, throwing it at the Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s

Residence.

With a crash, the teacup fell to the ground and shattered.

“Ah” The Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence screamed. She felt a sharp pain in her forehead, as if something wet and slippery had flowed into her eyes. She reached out to touch it, but saw that her hand was covered in blood.

The Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence had never seen such a scene before. She immediately screamed in fear, “Ah! Blood, blood, so much blood…”

“You dirty thing…” Old Madam Yu used all her strength to curse. Immediately, her eyes darkened and she fell to the ground with a bang.

“Grandmother, Grandmother…” Yu Youyao exclaimed and quickly squatted on the ground to check on Old Madam Yu.

“Matriarch.” Madam Yao was also shocked. She saw that Old Madam Yu’s face was ashen and she was lying on the ground without moving. She said,

“Someone, quickly get a doctor…”

Only then did everyone, who had already been stunned by the consecutive movements, react—

“Ah, Old Madam Yu fainted… “Oh my G.o.d, quickly get a doctor…”

“Someone, someone…”
