Chapter 651: Distorting the Truth
Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Concubine Xu had failed to scheme against Yao Yao. Instead, she had implicated herself and the Third Prince.
Not only did the Xu Residence not think that they were in the wrong, but they also blamed the Yu Residence for making a fuss and causing Consort Xu and the Third Prince to be imprisoned.
The Duke Rongs Residence had been stripped of its title and Yao Yao had been conferred the title of County Lord of Shaoyi. The Xu family naturally thought that the person who had benefited was the Yu Residence.
The Yu Residence shouldn’t have been putting on airs. They should have happily accepted the “compensation” from the Xu Residence and resolved their past grudges with them.
Even the Yu Residence did not hold it against them. If the Xu Residence put in more effort, Imperial Concubine Xu and the Third Prince would regain their freedom as soon as possible.
What a good plan.
However, the Yu Residence did not fall for this.
Madam Xu’s expression darkened, but she endured it and did not flare up. Even her voice became a little hoarse. “I know that Matriarch’s heart aches for her granddaughter and she’s unhappy, but…” At this point, even her eyes turned red. “Noble Consort and Third Prince also suffered an undeserved calamity.”
Old Madam Yu did not reply with a cold expression.
Madam Xu forced out two drops of tears. “You don’t know this, but the Duke Rongs Residence invited him multiple times. It wasn’t appropriate for Third
Prince to refuse, so he went to the Flower Festival.’
The imperial family and the royal family shared the same bloodline. The relatives who had been given titles were naturally different from ordinary idle relatives. They had to give them face. In terms of seniority, Duke Rong was still the third prince’s uncle.
Yu Youyao lowered her eyes. If Madam Xu had taken this approach from the beginning, even if her grandmother was unhappy, she wouldn’t have embarrassed her on the spot.
Therefore, the Xu Residence treated the Yu Residence as a pawn.
She tried to grasp it a few times, but she couldn’t.
She knew that the Yu Residence was a tough nut to crack. She could only lower her status.
However, whether the Yu Residence was soft or hard, not everyone could control it. The actions of the Xu Residence had completely angered her grandmother.
After being a relative of the emperor for a few days, did she really think that everyone in this world had to follow her?
Had she forgotten how the illustrious Ning Public House had disappeared back then?
Did she remember what happened to Grand Tutor Yangs family, who was respected by the emperor?
Concubine Lan’s maiden family, who doted on the harem, was still in jail!
The emperor was suspicious by nature. How could Imperial Concubine Xu not tell that she was vying for the throne?
The imprisonment was only the beginning. Once the emperor found a suitable name, the Xu Residence would be the next to suffer.
Madam Xu of the Xu Residence pinched her handkerchief and wiped her tears. “That day, the Third Prince accidentally fell into the lake and was quite shocked. After that, he rushed back to the palace and didn’t know anything about what had happened in the Duke Rongs Residence.” She glanced at Yu Youyao vaguely and continued to cry. “Fortunately, after the Third Prince was treated by the imperial physician, he was fine after recuperating for a while.
County Lord Shaoyi’s reputation was also not damaged and she was shocked. Matriarch’s health improved a little. Otherwise, our Third Prince would have sinned greatly…”
If something really happened, regardless of whether this matter had anything to do with the Third Prince, it would naturally be a huge sin for the Third Prince to be involved.
However, Yu Youyao had only had a false alarm, and Matriarch Yu’s health was fine. The Yu Residence had even benefited, so it was not a crime.
Moreover, the Third Prince had also been implicated innocently. He had fallen into the water and was frightened. He had even been imprisoned by the emperor.
Wouldn’t it become an undeserved calamity?
The Xu family’s ability to invert right and wrong was really impressive.
Old Madam Yu was sick of hearing this and interrupted her impatiently. “Just say it. Why did you come to our house today? My head hurts from you crying like this.” At this point, she frowned. “You also know that I suddenly had a Yang problem previously. From time to time, I feel dizzy and frustrated.”
Madam Xu felt as if her throat had been pinched by someone. Her cries suddenly stopped, and even her pale face turned red with embarrassment.
The atmosphere was in a stalemate for a while.
After the initial awkwardness, Madam Xu’s face turned green. She opened her mouth and was about to flare up!
However, Old Madam Yu was an elder and Yu Youyao had just been conferred the title of county lord and was in the limelight now. Then, she thought of how Consort Xu and the Third Prince were still imprisoned in the palace…
No matter what, she had to put on a good show of “compensation” so that this matter could be completely over.
This was to prevent some people in the palace who thought that they had something on the Noble Consort and refused to let go of this matter. The
Second Prince’s party would also use this matter to cause trouble and ruin the Third Prince’s reputation.
The maidservant quietly poured a new cup of tea.
Madam Xu quickly picked up her tea. After drinking a cup of tea, the anger in her heart calmed down a little. She calmed down and said awkwardly, “I took the liberty to come today and was worried about your health. As a junior, I’m insensible. Please don’t take it to heart.’
At this point, she had already lowered her status.
Yu Youyao’s lips curled up. Since she was here to apologize, she should apologize. Even if she was just here to pretend, she couldn’t be perfunctory.
Old Madam Yu nodded indifferently and did not show any expression.
Madam Xu heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. “It’s also because of the Imperial
Concubine that she sent a letter to our family when she found out that the
County Lord of Shaoyi had suffered some grievances because of the Third Prince. She asked our family to apologize to County Lord of Shaoyi on behalf of her and the Third Prince.” At this point, she looked worried and smiled bitterly. “This matter shouldn’t have been handled by our family. You know that the Imperial Concubine is grounded in the palace and the palace gate has been sealed. She can’t personally apologize to the County Lord of Shaoyi. Please don’t blame her for her negligence.”
Old Madam Yu knew what the Xu Residence was up to, and she also knew the reason behind the “compensation.”
Seeing that she did not look too good, Madam Xu’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly said, “Today, the concubines of the various palaces have all given a congratulatory gift to the County Lord of Shaoyi. Since the Noble Consort can’t appear, our family will express her gratitude.”
The Yu Residence was not famous, but they were not arrogant. However, at this point, she only hoped that the Yu Residence would accept the “compensation” and the matter with the Duke Rongs Residence would be completely over.
Just as Old Madam Yu was about to refuse, Yu Youyao took a step forward and bowed to Madam Xu. “According to Madam, the person the Duke Rongs

Residence wants to scheme against is me. It’s also because of me that Third Prince was frightened when he fell into the water and suffered an undeserved calamity. He was implicated innocently. This is my fault.”
Old Madam Yu sat up straight and leaned against the couch again. She narrowed her eyes and finally felt satisfied.
Madam Xu’s eyes widened in shock.
She had originally come to “compensate”, but as soon as County Lord of Shaoyi spoke, it was as if she had come to “inquire” for no reason. If word got out, wouldn’t it be the Xu family bullying others?
County Head Shaoyi was currently in the limelight. There was no need to wait until tomorrow. The Imperial Court’s memorials to impeach the Xu family would be filled with imperial cases in the imperial study..
