Chapter 4 You Are Not My Real Mother
My head hurts so much that it feels like it’s going to explode.
It felt like countless blades were twisting my heart, and the feeling of suffocation was very clear.
Mu Qingyan opened her eyes with difficulty.
It was the same dream again! She had had the same dream before she woke up this morning!
In the dream, after the general's mansion was massacred, it was Yulan, the maid whom the original owner once regarded as a confidant, who gouged out her eyes and cut off her tongue with her own hands... just because the scumbag said that he disliked her eyes and her eloquent tongue the most...
Later, Yulan became the noble lady beside the scumbag.
The General's Mansion was the original owner's maternal grandfather's home...
"Miss, are you having a nightmare? I have been calling you for a long time, but you didn't wake up..."
Yuzhan's face went from blurry to clear, and Mu Qingyan recalled the scene in her dream——
Because of Yulan's misleading and instigation, the original owner punished Yuzhan several times and even drove her out of the house... But when Yulan dug out her eyes, Yuzhan rushed over desperately, but it was useless. She died. Yulan stabbed her chest with the dagger that gouged out her eyes and cut her tongue.
Before Yuzhan died, she used up her last bit of strength to tell her, "Miss, I have never betrayed you... I did not drug you..."
Mu Qingyan sighed a little, and her voice seemed to tremble a little, "Is Yulan still kneeling outside?"
Yu Zan carefully glanced outside and whispered, "She knew the girl was asleep, so she got up and warned us not to complain to you..."
The two maids were chosen by Lan. The indenture was naturally in Lan's hands. Yulan couldn't stay. She had to get Yuzhan's indenture. Yuzhan was probably the only one in the whole Fuguo Mansion who was sincere to her.
"Let's go to Jingyuan."
Yuzhan knew that her daughter was no longer the foolish person who allowed others to bully her, and she was so happy. When she walked into the yard, Yulan had already knelt down.
Mu Qingyan did not pursue her hypocrisy, but simply said calmly, "Get up and follow me."
Doubts flashed through Yulan's mind. She even glanced at Yuzhan, who seemed a little guilty. She knew that she must have complained, but the eldest girl was not angry. It was unusual, very unusual.
The moment she stepped into Jing Garden, Yulan's heart was in her throat.
"What are you doing here!" Before Lan could say anything, Lan Hui stood up with resentment on her face.
Mu Qingyan didn't even look at her, and said directly to Lan, "Taoyuan Temple is small, there is no need for a girl who is more arrogant than you. I don't want Yulan anymore. Give me the indenture of the jade hairpin, and I will pretend I don't know about that matter."
Lan was displeased, "Do you have any manners? I am your stepmother! Are you giving me orders?"
Mu Qingyan sneered, "Forget about it, Lan. With our status relationship, you want to bite me to death and I want to scratch you to death. Why are you pretending to be a loving mother and a filial son?"
"You - I am the mistress of the Duke's Mansion, in charge of the household affairs. The servants' indentures should be kept by me. When you get married in the future, it won't be too late to ask me for her indentures! However, with your reputation and the broken engagement, it's still unclear whether you can get married!"
The Lan family is weird.
Mu Qingyan was no less anxious. She glanced at Lan Hui, who was standing beside her and wanted to bite her to death, and said with a smile, "If your daughter can get married, then I can get married too. Besides, you don't need to worry about whether she can get married or not. You are just a step-wife, not my biological mother."
The threatening look she gave Lan Hui was very obvious.
No matter how angry Lan was, she had to give the jade hairpin's indenture to her obediently.
After Mu Qingyan left, the Lan family really wanted to beat Lan Hui to death. If it weren't for her shamelessness, would she have been controlled by that bitch Mu Qingyan!
Lan Hui knew she was in the wrong, so she could only keep her head down. She couldn't go back to the Marquis's mansion right now, so she could only swallow her anger and wait until she got married before going back. As long as she entered the gate of the Marquis of Xiangning's mansion, the matter would be covered up.
In her heart, she secretly cursed Mu Qingyan, who had humiliated her like this, a hundred times!
Yulan was rejected by Mu Qingyan. Seeing that she was useless, Lan was also angry. After pointing her to Lan Hui, she drove them away.
The courtyard where Lan Hui lived as a guest was called Huiyuan. It was ironic that a cousin who was a guest lady lived better than the legitimate daughter of the emperor.
"How did you irritate her? Didn't she trust you a lot in the past? Why doesn't she want you now?" Lan Hui glared at Yulan who was kneeling on the ground.
Yulan was also confused, and no one could give her an answer. "I don't know what happened. After she fell into the water at the poetry party that day, she fell ill and slept for several days. When she woke up this morning, she slapped me in the face, and wouldn't let me serve her close to her. She also punished me to kneel. I got up after she went to the main hall. After she came back, she asked me to kneel again. When she woke up from her nap and went to the lady's yard, she directly said that she didn't want me anymore..."
Lan Hui thought about it, and although she felt something was wrong, she couldn't tell what was wrong.
Maybe she knew that it was Yulan who pushed her into the water on purpose at the poetry meeting that day, so she hated Yulan. This makes sense. But how could she be so eloquent today when she couldn't even speak a complete sentence before? Can a person really change so much overnight? That can only mean that her previous stupidity was all pretended to confuse people!
No matter what, she must not take the initiative to provoke her during this period of time, otherwise she would talk about her affairs without restraint, and she would really be hanged to death as her aunt said.
Mu Qingyan didn't take Lan Hui seriously at all, because her ending was foreseeable. Lady Liang, the wife of Marquis of Xiangning, had sharp features, and at first glance, she was the kind of strong person who had her way. Yang Jing was glared at by his mother, and he didn't even dare to fart. He was just a mama's boy. Lan Hui still expected him to protect her, which was simply a foolish dream!
The news that she was broken off from engagement by the Marquis of Xiangning was widely spread. But after the more shocking news came out, the person being criticized changed from her to Lan Hui.
Those who liked her and those who didn't were all speculating whether she had had a hand in the cancellation of the engagement by the Marquis's Mansion. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see what her purpose was in dragging the gaudy-dressed Mu Qingyan out to parade in the streets.
They all came from wealthy families, so who couldn't see through the twists and turns in her mind?
Anyway, Lan Hui finally married into the Xiangning Marquis's mansion in a grand ceremony. Perhaps because they were afraid that her belly could not be concealed, the wedding was hastily arranged. From Mu Qingyan's rejection of the engagement to Lan Hui's wedding, there was only a short interval of five days.
