Chapter 64
Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
Mu Shi glanced at General Yu, cleared her throat, and wanted to change the subject: “Um…Qianjiao, we’ll deal with this later. Your father is sad about Aunt Lan’s affairs, so don’t bother him.”
After hearing this, Yu Qianjiao turned her head disdainfully: “She’s just a concubine, what’s so sad about it? Mother, didn’t you also say that she should have died a long time ago—”
Mu Shi’s love was not strong enough, and she wished she could not immediately reach out and cover Yu Qianjiao’s mouth. Who knew that General Yu had already heard.
Yu Qianjiao did not finish speaking, but was interrupted by General Yu’s thunderous anger: “What did you say!?”
Mu Shi was so frightened that she hurried down on her knees: “Master, don’t be angry. Qianjiao is still young, what does she know? How can you take a kid’s nonsense seriously?”
Seeing General Yu’s reaction, Yu Qianjiao knew that she had said the wrong thing, but for a while, she didn’t know how to explain it, so she lowered her head and let Mu Shi cover up for her.
Looking at the reaction of the mother and daughter in front of him, General Yu felt foolish and knew there was a problem. Thinking that he was almost fooled by Mu Shi just now, General Yu suddenly became so angry that a few waves of anger gathered together, and he couldn’t help but jump up!
General Yu grabbed Mu Shi’s hair, pushed her to the ground fiercely, and roared: “Speak! How did Lan’er die!?”
Seeing that her mother was beaten, Yu Qianjiao immediately became calm. She stepped forward and threw herself on Mu Shi’s body, and said angrily, “Father, how can you treat Mother like this? That Aunt Lan is just a lowly woman. She’s dead. Why should my mother be beaten for her!?”
Mu Shi hurriedly reached out to push Yu Qianjiao: “Qianjiao, leave! Don’t worry about your mother!”
Yu Qianjiao refused to leave. She was still protecting Mu Shi and blurted out her resentment towards her father: “You have been away for several years. My mother worked so hard, and you beat her as soon as you come back!? What’s wrong with you? If you didn’t have such messy women, would things be where they are today? How can I, the daughter of the first wife, be bullied by the daughter of a commoner!?”
Yu Qianjiao remembered that she had been slapped in the face by Yu Linglong and had blamed the incident on General Yu. If General Yu hadn’t gone outside, would such a lowly daughter of a commoner exist?
General Yu didn’t expect Yu Qianjiao to say these things, and he said angrily: “Are you in charge of me!?”
As he was speaking, he took his anger out on Mu Shi: “That’s how you act like a mother? What do you think you are teaching your children? Everyone is stupid, and you’re even disobedient to me, your father!”
What a young girl like Yu Qianjiao knows must have been taught to her by Mu Shi!
Yu Linglong even dared to beat her father. It must be a harmful effect of Mu Shi’s teaching!
His children were not being disciplined, and one even went as far as to poison his beloved concubine. This behavior was intolerable to General Yu. How could he marry such a wicked woman!?[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
Yu Qianjiao had been spoiled by Mu Shi for many years, and she had developed a spoiled att.i.tude a long time ago. General Yu had been away for a long time, and she can’t say how deep her feelings for her father were. Seeing her mother suffer, she naturally refused to give up. She cried and said, “Father, you have not been home for so many years, and you never care about family affairs. When you come back, you just beat and scold my mother! What does Aunt Lan matter? Why does it matter that mother killed her? Who called her—”
Mu Shi was so frightened that she immediately interrupted Yu Qianjiao: “Qianjiao, shut up!”
General Yu became angrier when he heard this, and took the riding-whip that was hanging in the room, and thrashed it fiercely!
“I’ll kill the both of you!”
Mu Shi and Yu Qianjiao were very soft-skinned, and when the whip came down, the two suddenly screamed in unison!
Yu Qianjiao was protecting Mu Shi, and this time they were both drawn into the whip. General Yu was furious, and naturally, he had no mercy. He cracked the whip left and right, as the mother and daughter screamed, unable to hide.
Mu Shi eagerly protected her daughter, stretched out her hand, and hugged Yu Qianjiao tightly into her arms. She blocked Yu Qianjiao’s head and face with both hands, but she was subjected to several whips on her body. She hid and cried: “Master, just hit me! Qianjiao’s injury is freshly healed. She is so young that she can’t stand your whip!”
General Yu was on the rise. No matter what Mu Shi was talking about, he just wanted to vent his own grievances, to vent all the depression of Concubine Lan’s death!
The heavy whip was thrown in the air, and it rained down on them. It was not like he was beating his wife and daughter; he beat them like he was beating his mortal enemies!
The old wounds of Mu Shi’s body were healed, and now fresh wounds were being added. She had to take care of her daughter beside her. The mother and daughter screamed, again and again, crying loudly.
When General Yu got tired, Mu Shi and Yu Qianjiao’s bodies had long been injured. Yu Qianjiao was better since her head and face were protected by Mu Shi. She only had injuries on her body. Mu Shi looked miserable with disheveled hair and fresh scars. She was paralyzed and dying on the ground.
“Mother! Mother—” Yu Qianjiao wiped her tears and shook Mu Shi, but she tugged at the wounds on her body again and grimaced with pain.
Ignoring the miserable situation of the mother and daughter, General Yu threw the whip and said angrily: “If you let me know you have bad intentions, I will kill you!”
After speaking, he didn’t look at them again and strode out of the room.
Mama Cui, Mama Qian, and others, who had been frightened for a long time, dared to enter the room. When they saw Mu Shi lying on the ground, they suddenly screamed: “Madam—”
…
Listening to Ling’er’s vivid description, Yu Linglong couldn’t help but smile: “Yu Peng really her a serious beating?”
Ling’er smiled and said, “Exactly! Even the Sixth Lady was beaten! Now the lady’s room is just a mess, and the doctor who treats the bruises and the doctor who diagnoses will see her, and the Sixth Lady will see the doctor behind a curtain. They are certainly busy!”
Xuan Cao covered her mouth and smiled. She stretched out her hand and flicked Ling’er’s forehead: “You little wench, you speak of it so vividly as if you saw it with your own eyes.”
Ling’er tilted her head and laughed: “If only I saw it with my own eyes! If I had known that the master was going to beat his wife, I would climb up the tree outside their yard, and maybe I would have seen some of the action!”
Xuan Cao gave some freshly peeled melon seeds to Yu Linglong and said: “Just keep your voice down, miss, and forget about laughing. You are a girl who likes to laugh, so be careful if someone hears you, or they will scold you.”
Xuan Cao put down the plate and pointed outside: “Our yard is no better than before. Now I can’t tell how many eyes are staring from outside!”
Yu Linglong looked out, thinking of the shifty-eyed maids that Mu Shi had given her, and her heart was cold.
