Good Ending: She Swears She Will Not Let Him Die!

Chapter 331: Chapter 330: Disgusting

The heavy rain didn’t stop until daybreak.

Mu Lianhui stayed awake all night, unable to sleep due to the rain’s noise.

She heard some noises from the main courtyard but had no intention to inquire or interfere.

The household had been peaceful for the past two years; what major troubles could arise?

After the rain stopped, Mu Lianhui finally fell into a light sleep.

Outside, it was bright, and the maid Lin Ke had tip-toed in a few times, not daring to wake Mu Lianhui, only to withdraw quietly each time.

When Mu Lianhui awoke, Lin Ke reported, "Lady, Madam is ill."

Mu Lianhui yawned, covering her mouth: "Wasn’t she fine just yesterday?"

Lin Ke replied, "During the night, the Master and Madam went out, returning with Mr. Si in the fourth hour of the night. The lights in Madam’s room stayed on until dawn, suggesting she didn’t sleep at all.

This morning, a medical woman was called. It seems she caught a chill from the rain last night."

Mu Lianhui’s brows slowly furrowed: "Returned at the fourth hour and brought Ay? Wasn’t Ay supposed to be in the front courtyard?"

Lin Ke shook her head: "I don’t know about that, my Lady."

With Lian Family in illness, Mu Lianhui went to the main house to visit after washing.

The inner room was filled with the smell of medicine.

Lian Family lay on the bed, her face pale, while Mu Lianyu sat at the table with her head lowered.

Mu Lianhui sat down hard on the edge of the bed, saying, "I heard you got caught in the rain at midnight?"

Lian Family coughed lightly twice.

Mu Lianhui turned her eyes to Mu Lianyu: "What’s wrong with you? You weren’t in the front courtyard at the fourth hour; did you climb over the wall?"

This was a random remark, but it hit the nail on the head.

Mu Lianyu felt extremely awkward.

"Did you really climb over the wall?" Mu Lianhui’s eyes widened, "I can’t believe it, our second house is really full of talents. Such heavy rain, you don’t sleep but cause more trouble?"

Lian Family patted Mu Lianhui’s hand: "Say no more."

Mu Lianhui rolled her eyes: "Fine, I won’t say anything, not that it’s any of my business."

Lian Family had a lump stuck in her chest. After some thought, since the matter had already been exposed, it couldn’t be hidden from Mu Lianhui.

Although it’s a disgraceful matter, the second house must work together now.

Thinking of this, Lian Family gestured for Mu Lianhui to come closer, lowered her voice, and explained the situation between Mu Lianyu and the two servants of Manhe Garden.

Mu Lianhui’s eyes suddenly widened.

What did she just hear? Her brother and her aunt, along with the widow by her aunt’s side...

Mu Lianhui’s body couldn’t help but tremble. She looked at Mu Lianyu with complete rejection in her eyes: "Disgusting! How could you be so disgusting!"

Mu Lianyu didn’t argue or explain. Being a sinner now, saying anything would be useless.

"I don’t want to see you." Mu Lianhui stood up, ignoring the reactions of Lian Family and Mu Lianyu, and quickly returned to the East Cross Courtyard.

Meanwhile, Du Yunluo, unhurriedly, headed towards the Flower Hall.

The old women and young wives in the Flower Hall gathered to whisper.

The events of last night were spoken of briefly by the patrolling women, yet the stewards, being shrewd, understood there was certainly something fishy. Since the masters prohibited mentioning it, they only dared to guess secretly. Even guessing, no one dared to imply anything sordid.

Even if they had some thoughts, they dared not express them.

As Du Yunluo stepped into the Flower Hall, the inside immediately fell silent.

"Since everyone’s here, let’s begin." Du Yunluo said calmly.

Granny Jia was taken aback and spoke up: "Madam, Second Madam today..."

"Second Aunt is ill and will need some time for recuperation," Du Yunluo took a sip of tea, her gaze slowly scanning the faces below, "In these days, Second Aunt taught me a lot, so I am familiar with Mama’s, and the matronly duties in the household, Mama’s are experienced, I’m sure even without Second Aunt around, Mama’s won’t make any mistakes, right?"

The old wives exchanged glances, interpreting Du Yunluo’s meaning.

With Lian Family taking a break, perhaps for a month or two, household management would all return to the main branch.

Madam Wu had long thought of handing over power, and Lian Family couldn’t defy Madam Wu, so for those who worked for them, it was best to see the direction of the wind.

According to Du Yunluo, there was no intention of replacing anyone for the time being, and as long as they did their jobs diligently, they could keep their steward positions.

If they loyally sided only with Lian Family and offended Du Yunluo, they might lose their seats.

Granny Jia was wise; her position as a purchasing steward was lucrative, many in the household watched, ready to catch her mistakes, hoping to topple her.

She stayed steady with her keen perception and cautious work; even when taking advantages, she dared not overreach.

Her policy was to maintain a steady flow.

Granny Jia beamed a smile, respectfully saying, "Yes, Madam, we have all been at our positions for several years. During these years, Second Madam guided us a lot. Thanks to Second Madam’s trust, we have become skilled and will definitely be useful. Madam, rest assured, we will do our best to assist you."

This statement praised Lian Family while also currying favor with Du Yunluo, cleverly pleasing both sides.

This prompted a chorus of agreements.

Du Yunluo smiled faintly, "If that’s the case, then I’ll ask all of you Mama’s to put in the effort."

Once everything was arranged, Du Yunluo got up and made her way to Baijie Hall.

Madam Wu was awake, and with such an incident, even tired, she couldn’t sleep.

She called for Du Yunluo to sit down, her voice hoarse as she asked, "Have the herbs been sent?"

Du Yunluo nodded, "Just now we prepared the medicine according to the prescription, and I had Hong Jinbao’s family send it over. Rest assured, Mrs. Shan will take good care of it."

Madam Wu gave a bitter smile: "What is there for me to worry about? Whether she’s well taken care of or not, it only matters for a year or two.

If she’s really not well cared for, let her suffer a bit. In her life, neither the Old Marquis nor I have made her suffer, which is why she’s so unaware of her limits."

Du Yunluo didn’t respond. As the younger, there were things she couldn’t say.

"The Old Marquis was a military man, strict with his sons, never allowing laziness in any weather when practicing martial arts.

The first four boys all shaven heads, at long last had a daughter, not to mention me, the Old Marquis, and Yuan Jing’s four brothers, each treated her like a jewel.

Which of her four brothers wasn’t punished or beaten by the Old Marquis? Even Yuan Mou with his frail health wasn’t exempt, yet the Old Marquis never spoke a harsh word to Yuan Jing.

If I knew she’d be so outrageous today, I should have disciplined her harshly back then."

As Madam Wu talked, her eyes became moist, and she wiped them, sighing, "Enough about her, that Hong Jinbao’s family, I remember she originally was beside your grandmother, right? I heard she’s capable, used to help manage your grandmother’s household, quite experienced."

"She was beside my grandmother," responded Du Yunluo, "Grandmother, the steward Mama’s in the household are all capable. It’s going smoothly, and that’s quite good."
