However, Yueluo really hated Nee Liu. So, when Wang Yiping had proposed killing two birds with one stone and killing Hui and Qingyuan Shaoyes, she had started to bribe the servants serving Hui Shaoye.
It wasn’t easy to wait for an opportunity. Mu Qingyuan was very clever and rarely went out alone. There were always servants around him. But Yueluo finally found an opportunity. Mu Qingyuan only took two servants out. Yueluo and her maidservant Lin’er had distracted those two servants, so Wang Yiping could make her move.
In reality, Hui Shaoye had slipped and fallen into the lotus pond by himself. Wang Yiping had sent someone to pour soybean oil around the lotus pond and put water plants in the pond. Let’s not mention Hui Shaoye, but even if Mu Qingyuan fell in, he wouldn’t be able to get out either.
Afterwards, Mu YingRui had found the soybean oil near the lotus pond and guessed the truth. He went to confront Wang Yiping, but she had told him, “Yes, Laoye. I told someone to pour soybean oil on the edge of the lotus pond, but I did it for us. You saw how hateful that Nee Liu is. She refuses to hand over your father’s property. So, I want to teach her a lesson and kill her two b*stards.
“But who knew that little b*stard would turn crazy and push Hui Shaoye down? It was an accident. I also feel bad about it. That child called me mother, after all. Laoye, since things are like this, we should blame it on the second household and that cheap wench Nee Liu.”
Mu YingRui had coldly snorted. “Huh! Do I need you to tell me this? I already had people clean up the soybean oil around the lotus pond. Hui is dead now, so you have to give birth to a son for me.”
“Don’t worry Laoye. I’ll give birth to a few more sons for you,” Wang Yiping had said coquettishly and smiled with Mu YingRui.
They all thought that no one would know the truth about this matter. But there was a second-rank maidservant named Chunhe in Yiping Ju. Wang Yiping had sliced her face with a hairpin because Mu YingRui had taken an extra look at her, so she had secretly told this matter to Shui YouLian.
Shui YouLian had trembled in anger. She long knew how cold and cold-blooded Mu YingRui was. But she really didn’t expect that he would be so indifferent even about his own son’s death.
She originally wanted to tell Nee Liu, but she thought about how Nee Liu was pretty much stripped of her authority by Mu YingRui and Wang Yiping and had no power to fight back. Shui YouLian had immediately decided to pretend to be crazy.
Otherwise, she might soon be targeted by Wang Yiping until not even her bones remained. Shui YouLian wanted to wait. She was waiting for Zi You to come back. She didn’t believe that such a good person like Xiaojie would never come back and let Mu YingRui and Wang Yiping run rampant.
This was the whole of the matter. Even if the real Old General Mu was here right now, he certainly wouldn’t forgive Mu YingRui and Wang Yiping.
Therefore, Mu YingRui was soon locked in the ancestral hall. Wang Yiping was locked by Zi You in Hundred Herb Garden.
But before Zi You could deal with her, Muling told her that someone from the Palace came to say that the Emperor had summoned Zi You into the Palace.
Why did Xuanwu Emperor summon Zi You into the Palace? That was because he was extremely refreshed, happy, and excited right now.
Why? He returned to Chengguang Palace Hall last night and eagerly recited the chant that Zi You had told him to summon Shuiling out.
With just one glance, his mouth had dropped open and he became a fool.
