Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 399

DO YOU THINK I’M BLIND? ~
Mu Yunyao suddenly sneered, “You admit that you are guilty of murder. Why are you asking me all these questions? Could it be that you want to drag the crime of killing Elder Sister Su You onto me?”
“You... How can you be so heartless? Alright, alright. Since you’re heartless, then don’t blame me for being unjust. I really didn’t want to tell the truth. As long as you say a single soft word to me, I will take the crime of killing the Fifth Miss and let you continue to be a cousin of the Su Family without any worries! But you really disappoint me. You’ve changed, become completely unrecognizable....”
Everyone’s gaze shifted between Shen Ce and Mu Yunyao. Many of them revealed expressions of watching a good show. Listening to Shen Ce, there must be a big reason between the two of them. A young miss and the son of a steward, this was much more interesting than the storybook.
The Second Madam pointed at the guards, who held the long whips, and asked them to put down Shen Ce, “Tell me the truth, what exactly going on?”
Shen Ce lowered his head and said with a heartbroken tone, “I fell in love with Miss Biao at first sight, and gradually we have developed feelings for each other over this period of time. Miss Biao said that as long as I listen to her, she will definitely ask the Old Madam to marry me in the future.”
The first sentence that came out caused everyone to be so shocked that their mouths were wide open. Mu Yunyao, the Su family’s Biao, unexpectedly had an affection with the son of the Su family’s steward. Moreover, looking at Shen Ce’s appearance, he definitely has deep feelings for her.
“Thus, I tried my best to please Miss Biao. Even when Miss Biao wanted me to frame the Eldest Madam, I would still do so. Actually, the banknotes found in the Eldest Madam’s warehouse were secretly placed in those boxes by Young Miss. Furthermore, I only put in one hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver. It wasn’t the two hundred thousand taels she said said just for the sake of blackmailing the Eldest Madam.”
Steward Shen was so angry that he couldn’t speak, “You … How can you be like this? The Su family has treated us, father and son, with great kindness, and the Eldest Madam is our master. How can you do something to betray the master?”
Shen Ce slapped himself in the face. “I… I was fascinated at the time. Although I felt that something was amiss, I really couldn’t bear to see Miss Biao crying so bitterly … Eldest Madam, it is this servant that has let you down, caused your reputation to be tarnished, aand lost eighty thousand taels of silver.”
Mu Yunyao’s heart was filled with cold intent. The Eldest Madam actually wanted to use such a method to restore her reputation. It was really a good show.
The Eldest Madam sighed and shook her head. Forget it. You have only done such a wrong because you were bewitched by others. I never thought that Yunyao would actually harm me like this....”
Shen Ce raised his head to look at Mu Yunyao before lowering his head again. “Originally, no one knew about the matter between Miss Biao and me, but unexpectedly, Fifth Miss came over one day and coincidentally found out that I was very close to Miss Biao. Miss Biao was worried that the matter would be exposed, so while coaxing Fifth Miss to keep it a secret, she secretly plotted with me so that Fifth Miss would never be able to speak. But there was always someone at Fifth Miss’s side, and we never found a chance. Finally, there are only two people in the east wing today, Miss Biao and Fifth Miss. We originally wanted to kill Fifth Miss to make it seem like she died of an illness, but unexpectedly Fifth Miss powerful and struggled hard. She also shout for people at the entrance. It was only because of desperation that I was forced to kill Fifth Miss and drag herinto the pond.”
The Second Madam took a deep breath and looked at Mu Yunyao with a face full of hatred, “You … You... You are shameless! Why do you want to implicate my daughter! Su You just had a simple personality, but her words were quite strict. As long as she promised to keep it a secret, she would never tell anyone about it.
She treats you as if you’re a good little sister. She’s been flaunting to me all day that she’s already has a little sister, so she’s no longer the youngest in residence. How could you bear to kill her?”
The Eldest Madam went forward to support the Second Madam, “Sister-in-law, don’t be so agitated. It’s more important to take care of yourself. Su You has already gone, can’t anything happen to you?”
The Second Madam flopped and knelt to the Old Madam, “Mother, you must avenge Su You!”
The Old Madam’s heart ached. Her entire person looked as if she would faint at any moment, “Yunyao, how can you be so confused? You are the young miss of the Su family residence, my granddaughter. In the future, you can even be the wife of an official family, but why did you choose a servant? You are really muddleheaded!”
The Eldest Madam smiled bitterly and shook her head: “Mother, how could Yunyao have a crush on him? She just wanted to use him to frame me and ruin the Su family’s reputation. The rumors are still spreading that we brought Su Qing and Yunyao back for the money and murder! Who would have known that the reason why there are such rumors is because of the scheme of the innocent Miss Biao in their mouth!”
The Old Madam sighed and shook her head at Mu Yunyao, “You … You really disappoint Grandmother. Yunyao, even if you were born in the countryside and had not received any form of education, but you should still understand the importance of kinship. What benefits do you get by harming your Eldest Aunt and the Su family? You even killed Su You because of this. She was only a few months older than you and was the only child of your Second Uncle and Second Aunt. How could you bear to kill her?”
The guests discussed in hushed voices. Many of them looked at Mu Yunyao with disdain, while some remained silent.
The Eldest Madam looked over, “Yunyao, are you still not admitting your wrongs yet?”
Mu Yunyao raised her head, her gaze sweeping across the Su family members before suddenly bursting out in laughter, “Grandmother, Eldest Aunt, do you think I’m blind?”
“You … What do you mean?” The Eldest Madam looked angry.
“No meaning. I’m just asking you, do you think I’m blind?”
The Eldest Madam’s eyebrows creased, “Yunyao, at this time, don’t play the fool. As long as you admit your wrongs and consider the fact that we are related by blood, we might be able to leniently punish you.”
Mu Yunyao continued to laugh, “Eldest Aunt, you still haven’t answered my question. Do you think I’m blind?”
The Eldest Madam’s heart chilled from Mu Yunyao’s laughter. Gritting her teeth, she snorted, “Your eyes are still fine. Naturally, you aren’t blind!”
Mu Yunyao walked over to Shen Cen’s side as if she was looking at a dirty thing. “That’s right. Since I’m not blind, how could I have taken a fancy to such a thing?”
Shen Ce raised his head with an extremely furious expression, “Miss Biao, you said that you like me, that you wouldn’t care about your status and that you would marry me, and you… you really have changed. You are no longer the kind and gentle Young Miss Biao in my heart.”
Mu Yunyao frowned and reached out to touch her chest, “Don’t say anything. If you keep talking, I’ll vomit.”
The Eldest Madam’s voice was cold and fierce. “Mu Yunyao, don’t be stubborn!”
“Why is Eldest Aunt in such a hurry? After your performance has been finished, I naturally have to refute your words. Could it be that you want to press me directly to confess my guilt?” Mu Yunyao turned around, and the smile on her face vanished. What replaced it was a boundless chill. A wind blew past, causing her hair to flutter behind her, and drew a cold arc in the air.
