Chapter 146 You are not qualified to threaten me
Raising his hand to signal Leng Yu to get up, Beitang Yi asked the previous questions again carefully in combination with Ying Liu's report.
"Mulberry bundle?"
"Yes, he is the son-in-law of the Marquis's mansion and also a guest. He came here today to give New Year gifts. I wanted to knock him out, but I was afraid that it would cause a noise or some mistakes that would bring unnecessary trouble to the young lady. I hesitated and then I didn't move. Then he ran away by himself."
After glancing at Yingliu at the side, she continued:
"When I saw the Sixth Young Lady was there, I was afraid that he would go out to recruit people, so I followed him and prepared to deal with the situation. I didn't expect that Miss Gu was also outside. She might have followed him. The two of them returned to the house one after the other. I waited for a while and came back when I saw nothing happened."
"After learning that the master had taken the young lady away, I did not move again, thinking that I would report to the young lady during the day."
Picking up the belt on the table and playing with it, Beitang Yi's eyes suddenly turned cold:
"It's really lively."
Sang Shu was really bold. He hadn't even had time to settle the score with them for the last incident yet, but he actually climbed over the wall and came into her yard?
He couldn't plot against her, but he still wanted to get a piece of the pie?
Every toad wants to eat swan flesh!
If it's him, it should be fine for now.
He felt guilty and probably didn't dare to talk nonsense outside. Moreover, he didn't know who was in the room or what the situation was, so the possibility of him taking action was even lower.
The one who is close to the water gets the moon first. This person obviously had thoughts that he shouldn't have.
"I can't stay~"
A thought flashed through his mind, and Beitang Yi murmured:
"Come here you two."
He lowered his voice and gave a few instructions:
"When she wakes up, tell her the truth about what happened last night and what I mean. She doesn't want to ruin her reputation, so I have to protect her. As for the maid in the courtyard, keep an eye on her."
"Yes."
"Guard her well, no one can hurt her, no matter who it is, if necessary... kill them all."
After leaving these three words, Beitang Yi stood up and disappeared in the room in a blink of an eye. Under the strong cold air pressure that enveloped them from all directions, the two men clasped their fists, but were silent as a mouse, and forgot to even react for a long time.
……
Mu Lianzhi slept very deeply this time, and when she woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
While washing up, Leng Yu took the opportunity to tell her everything that happened last night.
When Mu Lianzhi heard that someone had broken into her yard and might have discovered the incident, her heart was in turmoil and she couldn't help blushing. In her heart, she cursed that person a thousand times:
"Well, okay, I see."
On this day, Mu Lianzhi stayed in the yard and did not go out. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, Ling Yuyao, who had not come to say hello, came to say goodbye.
In the side hall, the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Ling Yuyao mentioned last night, and then said:
"There are some things that Second Sister-in-law probably doesn't want others to know."
"It's almost the end of the year, and An An is still young. I can't handle everything at home and outside by myself. Your brother-in-law also needs someone to take care of him at night. Second sister-in-law is alone. If you have nothing to do, why don't you stay at my place for a few days?"
"Second sister-in-law, just help me share my worries. Just two days will be enough."
Ling Yuyao swung her handkerchief and glanced at her sideways, with a condescending attitude that made Mu Lianzhi want to laugh:
"Heh, little sister, are you threatening me?"
"If you think so, then take it as it is."
Standing up straight, Mu Lianzhi pulled down his collar, not afraid of revealing the clear purple marks on his body:
"Catching thieves and stealing stolen goods, catching adulterers in pairs, who in the Marquis' Mansion doesn't know about my affairs? Didn't my younger sister ask mother for permission before coming to my place?"
"I just don't know who will be more embarrassed in the end if my reputation is ruined~"
"Little sister, have you forgotten what you did? It's like the pot calling the kettle black! You are a married woman who climbed into a beggar's bed and you are not afraid of people's criticism. There are always gossips around widows, so why would I be afraid of rumors?"
"Some things are better left to everyone to understand. If the truth is revealed, we may not know who is responsible."
"My dear little sister, let me remind you again that your loser man is not Lord Beitang. If you want to sleep with me, you should first ask your good mother, good brother and sister-in-law if they agree!"
"Fortunately your second brother died early. Aren't you afraid that he will come looking for you in the middle of the night if you accuse him of being a cuckold?"
Mu Lianzhi said the last sentence in a low voice, and then she added:
"I'm not a cheap bitch who wouldn't even pick beggars. Threatening me? You're not qualified."
"You, you dare to scold me?"
His face was distorted, he hissed angrily, raised his hand, and Ling Yuyao slapped him:
"Who do you think you are?"
Catching it with one hand, Mu Lianzhi pushed her out with force. She stumbled back several times, rubbing her wrist that seemed to be broken. Ling Yuyao groaned, her eyes full of disbelief:
"Hmm~"
it hurts!
How come she is so strong?
Is it her illusion or does she know martial arts?
Before she had time to think carefully, Mu Lianzhi's voice came over again:
"My dear little sister, considering that we are sisters-in-law and share the same suffering, I will kindly remind you again to put away those dirty thoughts that you shouldn't have!"
"It's useless. Even if you give him all the women in the world, it won't change the fact that you are already dirty."
Without asking, Mu Lianzhi could probably guess that her taking the lead today might not be her true intention. There must be elements of guilt, compensation and compromise in it. It was probably because she reached some conditions with Sang Shu.
What they want has nothing to do with her, so if they want to target her, don't blame her for being ruthless.
"..."
His face turned pale, and he pursed his lips. Ling Yuyao didn't respond. His shoulders unconsciously slumped a little, and he took a few steps forward. Mu Lianzhi's lips curled up slightly:
"Confusing the public and deceiving oneself can only fool those outsiders who don't know the truth. You can't steal the bell by covering your ears. Just because things are calm for a while doesn't mean they will be calm forever."
"If you want to keep your status as Mrs. Sang and survive in that family, you have to be like me. You either have enough irreplaceable value to be used, or you have to strangle him by the throat so that he dares not and cannot disobey you."
After speaking in her ear, Mu Lianzhi slowly straightened his clothes, turned around and sat back on the couch, instantly returning to his previous lazy and weak appearance:
"If compromising and begging for mercy were useful, there would be no more crimes in this world, and there would be no need for government troops and yamen, don't you think? If someone is paying attention to a case, even the most vicious criminals will not be tortured. But once no one is paying attention..."
Maybe even death will become a luxury.
Mu Lianzhi stopped at that point, and Ling Yuyao understood her hint immediately.
Yes, her scandal is not over yet. Now everyone is willing to maintain the status quo just waiting for the storm to pass. But what will happen once it is completely over or finally gets out of control?
By then, she won't be needed to cooperate in the show. Can the Sang family and Sang Shu still tolerate her stain?
