Rong Qi laughed at the turn of events.
Ling Mozi joined in, “Master Shen is also a person of profound blessings. How could he be a bane?”
Old Master Ye, wide-eyed, demanded, “What nonsense is this? Didn’t I ask you to investigate? What exactly is going on?”
Ye Nanshen tilted his head, too lazy to speak. He whistled softly, signaling with his fingers.
Xu Yi, sweating profusely, appeared out of nowhere.
Bounding up to Old Master Ye, he said with a toothy grin, “Master Ye, Master Shen had everything figured out the night you gave the order.
“The crows circled above Master Shen’s rooftop because someone threw rotten meat up there, attracting them. It’s been the same for several days. I just used the same trick to lure them away. So, it’s not an ominous sign, just greedy crows. Hehe.”
Xu Yi’s silly words hinted at a deeper implication. That all of this was deliberately orchestrated by someone.
Mrs. Ye Sr. instinctively stepped back, supported by Meng Fu, while Madam Liu’s face turned particularly ugly.
“Everything is clear now. I wonder if Madam Liu’s earlier words about letting me handle the situation still stand?”
Madam Liu suddenly became alert, watching Rong Qi.
Before Rong Qi could speak, Xu Yi pointed at Xiao Yue on the ground, “Madam, the first one to deal with should be this ungrateful wretch. The deceased madam was so kind to her, and yet she betrayed her. Disgusting!”
Xu Yi despised treachery above all.
“No, please. Master Shen, Madam Qi, I was wrong. I was forced, I… Ah!”
Before Xiao Yue could finish, Madam Liu slapped her, causing her to spit blood and buzz in her ears, deafening her in one ear.
“Nanshen, Rong Qi, we were deceived by this malicious maid. She was the one who reported everything, leading to this whole debacle. But I didn’t expect her to be so cruel. We misunderstood you, please forgive us.”
Xiao Yue, looking at Madam Liu’s sudden betrayal, even if she couldn’t hear clearly, knew she was being framed.
Xiao Yue knelt up, resisting, “Someone instructed me, it was Madam Liu! She ordered me to plant the box under Madam Qi’s bed! If you don’t believe me, you can find a bank card under the tile in my room, it was given to me by her!”
“You! Shut up!” Madam Liu, trembling with rage, attacked Xiao Yue, and they started fighting.
The dogfight scene infuriated Old Master Ye. He slammed his hand on the table, “Enough! Haven’t you embarrassed yourselves enough? Separate them!”
The servants hurriedly pulled the two women apart.
Old Master Ye then turned to Ye Nanshen, “You handle it, I don’t want to deal anymore.”
This indicated Old Master Ye wouldn’t protect Madam Liu and others this time.
Mrs. Ye Sr. and Madam Liu tensed, finally feeling fear.
Ling Mozi spoke up, “I would like to ask Master Shen and Madam Qi to allow me to take Crescent back for our own discipline.”
Ye Nanshen nodded in agreement.
The servants helped to bind Crescent.
Rong Qi stood up, took the root carving from Crescent’s hand, and examined it for damages.
Ye Nanshen, with a slight lift of his eyebrows, looked at Xiao Yue, “Break her hands and legs, throw her out to fend for herself. Wherever my mother picked her up from, threw her back there. As for you…”
His gaze landed on Madam Liu, his eyes narrowing as if contemplating her punishment.
However, just as Rong Qi was about to return to Ye Nanshen’s side, Mrs. Ye Sr. suddenly lurched toward her.
‘Again?’ Rong Qi thought..
