Chapter 801: Bad Luck

Henyee Translations   Editor: Henyee Translations

Fueled by anger and a sense of injustice, the Second Old Master couldn’t simply let the matter go. The amount in question was 50,000 liang, not a trivial sum of 5,000.

After contemplating the situation, he decided to approach his own mother, Madame Yuezheng, seeking her support and assistance. Surely, Madame

Yuezheng, being the matriarch of the family, would be able to help them.

To gain Madame Yuezhengs sympathy, the Second Old Master embellished the story, presenting it in a way that painted their family as victims of undue oppression. His intention was to provoke a strong reaction from Madame Yuezheng, hoping that she would stand up for them.

Madame Yuezheng, who held a deep admiration for her second son’s family, was well aware of their intelligence and capabilities. However, she couldn’t deny that her elder son’s family was competent. Furthermore, she couldn’t muster much interest or concern when it came to her second son’s lack of a male heir. As a result, she wasn’t always inclined to defend them in every situation.

However, Madame Yuezheng found her elder son’s wife’s demands excessive. Wanting to extract 50,000 liang from the second section of the family seemed unjustifiably high.

With a sense of urgency, Madame Yuezheng summoned both the First Madame and Ms. Mi Junior to her presence. Ms. Mi Junior was filled with bitter frustration, never expecting that her husband would take such actions behind her back.

The First Madame proceeded to share the entire story, recounting how Yuezheng Ting had made an attempt on the life of the Provincial Champion’s wife. Given the close relationship between the Xie Family and the Provincial Champion Shao, with the Xie Family considering him an honored guest and having a strong bond with their Young Master, it was highly unlikely that Provincial Champion Shao would forgive them without a substantial compensation of 50,000 liang.

Understanding the Xie Family’s influence and the importance of maintaining their connection, Madame Yuezheng contemplated whether Yuezheng Ting deserved severe punishment for her actions.

Ms. Mi Junior found herself in a difficult position, unable to defend her actions but weakly attempting to explain that it was the fault of a maid.

Madame Yuezheng and the Second Old Master were both taken aback by the revelations.

The Second Old Master’s anger intensified as he glared at Ms. Mi Junior. “Why didn’t you inform me of this earlier? This is not what you told me! Look at the mess you’ve created!”

Madame Yuezhengs brow furrowed. “That is your own fault! You should be capable enough to relay a story accurately, shouldn’t you?”

As a united family, there was no need for them to hide the truth. It was common knowledge that the maid acted under the instructions of Yuezheng Ting. Everyone was aware of this fact.

Ms. Mi Junior had no ground to argue. However, she found the demanded compensation excessive. She bitterly complained, “Ting made a mistake! It was all because of Elder Miss Qiao’s influence. Elder Miss Qiao wanted to punish her sister out of jealousy for her better life! But Ting got dragged into it! I will tell Ting to cut ties with her. But Mother, I don’t have 50,000 liang!’

The Second Old Master sneered, “You can gather the cash yourself. I won’t be able to help you!’

With those words, the Second Old Master stormed off in anger, leaving Ms. Mi Junior shocked and at a loss.

He just left like that? What was she supposed to do now?

“Mother!”

Ms. Mi Junior turned to Madame Yuezheng, tears welling up in her eyes. Madame Yuezheng frowned. She couldn’t simply let it go. Nor could she expect her elder son’s wife to provide the funds. That was out of the question.

Moreover, she believed that Ms. Mi Junior deserved to be punished.

While it was possible that Elder Miss Qiao held a grudge against her sister, it didn’t necessarily mean that Yuezheng Ting had no involvement. Perhaps Ms. Mi Junior was also implicated in some way.

Madame Yuezheng had no interest in delving into the matter with Ms. Mi Junior. She understood everything implicitly..
