Chapter 214 Punishing Wicked Slaves, Shocking the Malicious Woman, The Slag Male is Supicious

"Nonsense!" Zi You pretended to be angry as she slammed her hand down on a table. "Don't pour dirty water on my mother. Who doesn't know that my mother is the most benevolent? Would you dare to say that in front of my mother? If you dare to say it, then I'll let you keep your noses. If not, I will immediately cut them off!"

"We dare...... We dare......" The two maidservants kowtowed.

Zi You stood up and walked over to them. She smiled enchantingly and said softly, "I hate people who betray me the most. Do you know what I do to people who betray me? I throw them into snake pits!"

"We won't. We won't. Nubi will never betray Xiaojie!" The two maidservants cried until tears and snot flowed. They shivered in fear.

They thought that the Xiaojie who was more beautiful than a fairy was actually more terrifying than a ghost.

Zi You winked at Haiyun. Haiyun nodded and quietly went to find Mu YingRui.

Zi You left Shiyun behind to take care of Shui Yiniang. Then she calmly took Shuiyun, Moyun, and the two maidservants to Yiping Ju.

Haiyun arrived at Mu YingRui's study. Yang Qingjun actually stopped her from seeing Mu YingRui.

Haiyun was bold and loud. She shouted, "Xiaojie ordered Nubi to report something to Laoye. Why are you stopping me? First Laoye, your servant is bullying people......"

Mu YingRui was just thinking about what Zi You had said and recalling the things that Wang Yiping had done before. The more he thought, the more suspicious he became.

Just as he was being sullen, he heard Haiyun's shout. He angrily kicked the door open and shouted, "Why are you shouting? What's going on?"

Haiyun immediately and pitifully curtsied. "Laoye...... Xiaojie invites you over to First Furen's. Xiaojie told Nubi to tell you, but Steward Yang stopped Nubi and wouldn't let Nubi report it."

Mu YingRui then remembered what Zi You had said: "Don't worry, father. I will let you see mother's true nature as long as you cooperate with me. When I call for you, I hope that you will come right away."

Mu YingRui instantly glared at Yang Qingjun. He then asked Haiyun, "Do you know why your Xiaojie is calling me over?"

Haiyun shook her head. "Xiaojie said that you will know when you get there."

"Then let's go." Mu YingRui looked lecherously at Haiyun.

He thought that his daughter's maidservants were all outstanding, especially this one and that Shiyun.

They were all older than Zi You. If his father hadn't stopped him, Mu YingRui would have taken Shiyun as his tongfang already. Even a noble lady couldn't compare to that girl Shiyun.

Haiyun was disgusted with Mu YingRui's glance. It was as if a toad had jumped onto her foot. It was repulsive.

But Mu YingRui still pretended to confidently ask, "Did your Xiaojie tell you that it's time for you maidservants to get married?"

Haiyun decisively and firmly said, "Nubi said that Nubi will serve Xiaojie for a lifetime and never marry."

Mu YingRui was choked speechless and couldn't say anything.

Haiyun thought of Zi You's plan, so she looked at Yang Qingjun. She pretended to whisper mischievously to Mu YingRui, "Laoye, can you tell your servant not to follow us? Nubi wants to talk to you secretly."

Mu YingRui's peach blossom eyes instantly shone. He had been managed by Wang Yiping and hadn't named a new concubine for a very long time.

As soon as he had some idea, Wang Yiping would scare him and say, "You should be more honest. If your father finds out, he will hit you with military rods again."

Mu YingRui was scared of being hit by military rods. Once of thought of the pain, he immediately withered.

Now, he looked at Haiyun, who was wearing a lotus-colored top. Her skirt was embroidered with lotuses and the same color. She had a multicolored filigree sash around her waist and an auspicious Buddha hand hairpin on her head. She was originally very pretty, but her appearance right now made her look fresh and elegant.

His lecherous heart surged. Mu YingRui immediately waved at Yang Qingjun. "Don't follow along."

Yang Qingjun didn't know whether he should be happy or angry. He and Wang Yiping had long started their affair. He didn't want Mu YingRui to sleep with Wang Yiping, but he also wanted Mu YingRui to be loyal to Wang Yiping. With such a contradictory heart, he was angry and happy when he saw Mu YingRui tempted by other women. Even he didn't understand how he felt.

Haiyun waited until Yang Qingjun disappeared before she looked sympathetically at Mu YingRui. She shook her head and said, "Laoye, you are a handsome and important official. How can you let servants deceive you?"

Mu YingRui was very happy and not angry to hear that Haiyun praised his handsomeness and say that he was an important official. Instead, he smiled flirtatiously and said, "Which servant dares to deceive me? Little girl, you better explain it to me. Or be careful that I will punish you."

The word "punish" was said very meaningfully and made goosebumps appear all over Haiyun. Haiyun fought back her nausea and said, "The servants are talking about it. But Laoye is still in the dark."

"Talk about what?" Mu YingRui was puzzled as he looked at her. He pretended to be dignified as he coughed. "How dare they talk about their masters? If I catch them, they will all be punished with boards."

"They're just feeling indignant on your behalf, Laoye." Haiyun refuted, "They say that you're wise and brilliant, Laoye, but why are you being deceived by a servant? That Steward Yang doesn't listen to you, but instead listens to Furen. That's why you ended up being punished by Lao TaiYe. What an injustice."

Mu YingRui frowned. He couldn't help but think about how every time he wanted to play with women, Yang Qingjun would dissuade him. "Laoye, Furen told this subordinate to advise you to take care of your body."

"Laoye, Furen is virtuous and dedicated to you. You shouldn't make her unhappy."

Mu YingRui suddenly reacted. That was true. When was that b*stard Yang Qingjun on Wang Yiping's side? He spoke up for her every time and spoke for her sake. His every other word was praise for Wang Yiping. Could it be that there was something fishy going on?

After Zi You was reborn, she had become very good at observation. Her maidservants more or less had learned from her, especially Shiyun and Haiyun. They were very shrewd. Zi You had often taught them and it wasn't in vain.

Haiyun looked at Mu YingRui's uncertain and dark expression and knew that he was getting suspicious. So, she added fuel to the fire. "Laoye, Nubi didn't teven tell Xiaojie this. Nubi is telling you now because Laoye is such an outstanding person and...... and you're being deceived......"

Haiyun looked left and right and leaned close to Mu YingRui. She whispered, "There was one night when Nubi couldn't sleep because Nubi was missing Xiaojie. Nubi wandered into the yard and saw...... saw Steward Yang and Furen coming out together from the side building next to your study.

"The next day, Nubi heard Sixth Yiniang say that you stayed in her courtyard that night. If you don't believe it, Laoye, you can pay attention and investigate to see if Nubi lied to you. Laoye, Xiaojie doesn't even know that Nubi is telling you this. Please don't tell Xiaojie what Nubi said."

"I know." At this point, Mu YingRui already believed 70% of Haiyun's words. If Zi You knew about this, would she let Wang Yiping off? Wouldn't she try to catch them in the act?

Even if Yang Qingjun and Wang Yiping were not having an affair, a master and a male guard alone in a small room together in the middle of the night would still make people suspect something.

Besides, if Wang Yiping was really a shameless wench who dared to even tangle with her brother, then it wouldn't be anything good if she was together with Yang Qingjun.

The person whom he thought was virtuous and understanding had actually made him a cuckold so many times.

Mu YingRui was originally suspicious after Zi You talked to him. Now that Haiyun fanned the flames, the suspicion was like vines with fertilizer added. It continued to magnify and spread.

Mu YingRui and Haiyun didn't sit in a palanquin and walked all the way to Yiping Ju.

They walked through the door and heard Zi You's voice that was like water in a spring. "Mother, I brought these two maidservants here for your own good. Not only did they not take good care of the ill Shui Yiniang, but they also deducted Shui Yiniang's meals.

"You don't know this but I just went to see Shui Yiniang. Let's not talk about how dirty her courtyard, room, and body are. But she was almost starved to death. I asked these two maidservants and they said that they have been serving Shui Yiniang for only twenty days, but they're already so presumptuous. What will happen if they become old servants in the house? This is what servants bullying their masters mean!

"No matter what Shui Yiniang is like, she is still father's concubine. How can she be humiliated by the maidservants? After I chastised these maidservants, they said that you ordered it, mother. Of course I didn't believe it. How can I not know what kind of person you are, mother? You're the kindest and most virtuous.

"They spoke such nonsense because someone must want to pour dirty water on you, mother."

Zi You kicked the two maidservants and snapped, "You cheap slaves! Why aren't you explaining? Say it. Who told you to frame my mother?"

"Xiaojie...... Nubi didn't lie. It really is Furen who told Nubi to do it." A maidservant wailed.

The other maidservant also kowtowed and cried, "Xiaojie, if not for Furen's orders, no matter how much courage Nubi has, Nubi would never dare to bully the master!"

Zi You looked at Wang Yiping and shook her head. She sighed. "Ai...... Mother, I can't believe that you told the maidservants to do it. Shui Yiniang already lost her child and she's ill now. Why do you have to target her?"
