Yun Bixue sniffled and tried her best to control her emotions.
Ever since she got pregnant, she would always put on a happy look in front of Xie Limo. She hoped to use her joy and smiles to make him more relaxed.
Sometimes when she did not control it properly, she felt that she was almost becoming as childish as a child.
…
In the Yuan family
Yuan Shuangrui did not sleep for the whole night. She was waiting to meet the Old Lady the very next day.
She felt a little groggy, and she did not know what she should do next.
Qin Huailing was not dead, and Han Mubai treated her like this. She felt that she could only cling on tightly to her power now. Hence, she must meet the Old Lady and find out her sentiments.
However, in the morning, someone quickly showed the Old Lady the news.
The moment the Old Lady saw that, she was so shocked that her eyeb.a.l.l.s almost popped out of their sockets. She staggered and nearly fainted from the blow.
Luckily, someone behind quickly supported the Old Lady and said, “Madam, you have to stay strong.”
The Old Lady looked at the news carefully and slammed her walking stick hard on the ground. “This is slander! What kind of person dared to do this to our Yuan family?”
The Old Lady knew the photos were fake the moment she saw them. The Yuan family did have a part to play in the smuggling of firearms, but she knew exactly what they did. They would not resort to hiding firearms in that place shown in the photo.
“Madam, this is the secret chamber of the Yuan family. The photo doesn’t look like it’s been edited.”
“You don’t have to say it, of course I know that!”
A moment later, the Old Lady widened her eyes and said anxiously, “Quick, quick. Bring me to the secret chamber.”
Even though the Old Lady’s legs were not very strong or nimble, she still walked very fast. She hated that she could not run to the secret chamber at once.
When they arrived at the secret chamber, the Old Lady was a little breathless. She instructed the guard and said, “Quick, open it.”
When the secret chamber was opened, the Old Lady saw all the firearms and armor in the storage. She could not take the shock and spat out a mouthful of blood before she pa.s.sed out.
“Madam! Madam…”
This time, the Yuan family was thrown into chaos. The people who came to save the Old Lady naturally saw the firearms in the secret chamber.
“Quick, quick. Close it. Don’t let anyone know about this.”
This Old Lady had been married to Old Master Yuan for decades. She had been through all kinds of situations in her lifetime and had never been so agitated before.
When did the secret chamber of the Yuan family store firearms? How come she never knew?
The Old Lady suffered a stroke and fainted. Everyone was at a loss without their Madam around, so they could only report to Yuan Shuangrui.
When Yuan Shuangrui heard that the Old Lady suffered a stroke, her first reaction was actually excitement. Her eyes lit up with a gleam. If the Old Lady was gone just like that, her position would not be shaken.
She even thought of using this chance to let the Old Lady pa.s.s on without anyone suspecting anything. In this way, the Yuan family would be hers.
“Miss, you should go and take a look quickly. The Old Lady fainted when she saw the whole secret chamber filled with firearms. We don’t know what’s going on right now. The news are all about the Yuan family. They’re saying that the Yuan family smuggled firearms. If we don’t take any action now, everyone will know about this within an hour.”
The person reporting to her was a second-cla.s.s servant of the Old Lady. This was her first time running into such a situation, and she was already panicking.
After all, she had seen what had happened to the Lu family.
Yuan Shuangrui stood up all of a sudden. “What did you say? What smuggling of firearms?” Hadn’t this issue been suppressed? Didn’t Majesty Kang suppress this issue to protect the Yuan family? How did this issue resurface? Wait… What chamber are you talking about?”
