Chapter 8: Not Good! An Accident Has Occurred!
Looking at the banknotes in her hand, Ting Yue stared for only a moment before pushing them back into Yao Mo Wan’s hand.
“If Miss does not go, Yue er will not go either! Second Madam has saved Yue er before, now the Second Madam has met a tragic death Yue er naturally has to get revenge for her! From now on Yue er will follow Miss. Living will be living together, dying will be dying together!” Ting Yue spoke with grief and solemnly vowed.
“I promise you, we will not die.” Yao Mo Wan took Ting Yue’s hand, her clear voice carried a firmness that made people unable to hold doubts.
“Miss, then what do we do now? Go back to lao ye to expose Big Madam and high mo mo‘s evil doings?” Ting Yue lifted up her small face and asked naively.
“Yue er, remember this carefully, in this world, we can not rely on anyone to help us seek justice. If we want revenge, we can only rely on ourselves.” Flat ice-like coldness showing on her enchanting unique mien, Yao Mo Wan’s beautiful pupils held a faint chill, then she continued to pull Ting Yue closer.
“Let me ask you, how has the relationship between Big Madam and Father been these past years?” The first step for revenge is to have a footing in Yao Xiang fu. If she didn’t have Yao Xiang fu to rely on, how was she to enter the palace again! And with her current identity, if she wished to return to Yao Xiang fu, she must first obtain Yao Zhen Ting’s protection.
“This Yue er isn’t very clear about it, but Yue er know one thing. That is, outside Big Madam is supporting an opera singer, it seems to be Virtue Cloud Performance Troupe’s current protege, named Lou Yu Xin. Big Madam often takes advantage of the periods when lao ye goes to court to go to Virtue Cloud House to meet privately with Lou Yu Xin. This matter many people in the residence knows, it’s completely true!” Ting Yue confidently declared.
“Lou Yu Xin……” Yao Mo Wan peach lips moved, in the depths of her eyes a radiant light flashed.
“Yue er, right now I still can’t reveal myself so help me carry out two tasks. First, secretly return to Xiang fu and bring Liu Xing here to see me.The second thing …… ” Yao Mo Wan leaned into Ting Yue’s side, whispering softly, then handed over the entire sum of banknotes that Yao Tu had given her to Ting Yue.
At seven the next day, according to his usual habit, Yao Tu walked out the fu doors and looked towards the large road to the east. Not seeing Yao Zhen Ting’s carriage yet, he turned around to exhort the two retainers.
“I heard recently some degenerate mobs of people have came from the Imperial City and would from time to time loot things. You should keep your eyes open and be attentive, don’t cause lao ye alarm!” Just as Yao Tu was in the midst of speaking, suddenly from around the corner came a man dressed in theatrical costume running.
“You are Steward Yao, right! It…… it’s bad! Madam Yao has had an accident!” The man’s forehead was covered with sweat, both hands were pressed on his knees as he heaved for breath.
“Who are you?” The color of Yao Tu’s eyes were slightly heavy as he guardedly looked at the man, asking with suspicion.
“Replying Steward Yao, this little one is a performer. Madam Yao exposed her great wealth and was surrounded by that mob. Right now the Virtue Cloud Performance Troupe place is a complete mess, even the troupe leader could not control it and sent me to tell the fu of the news and ask you to hurry and save people. That mob only recognize money, they don’t understand anything about any Xiang fu Madam!” The man’s panicked voice urged.
Yao Tu listened as was just planning to ask for clarification when he heard a sound come from behind him.
“What has happened?” Inside the sedan chair carried by four people, Yao Zhen Ting lifted the curtain and asked in a cold voice.
“Replying lao ye, this actor said Madam had met with trouble at the Virtue Cloud Performance Troupe’s performance. This old servant will immediately send people to rescue Madam!” Yao Tu reported honestly.
“Call a few extra people, lao fu wishes to personally see what eyeless mob actually dares to rob this lao fu!” Yao Zhen Ting spoke with a cold sneer then let the curtain drop. The palanquin bearers naturally understood its meaning and simultaneously started moving towards the Virtue Cloud Performance Troupe. Although Yao Tu had doubts, but there was no time to consider, he hastily called several dozen guards and followed.
In the palanquin, Yao Zhen Ting toyed with a deep green ornamental thumb ring, his gaze remote and cold. Today at court, he already verified that the news Su Luan had sent from within the palace was true. These days the four great imperial families of Wang, Xie, Yu, and Huan glared like tigers watching their prey. The harem positions of imperial consort were all occupied by these four clans. Originally his own daughters, one became empress while another was an imperial consort so he had been secure in the knowledge that he had backing. But it looks like whether the Yao fu will thrive or decline will solely depend on Yao Su Luan now. Were it not for that, he would not need to make this trip to deliberately curry favor by fawning on Dou Xiang Lan.
Within a deep alley.
Liu Xing led the man wearing the theatrical costume just now over.
“Have you carried everything out?” Ting Yue dubiously looked towards Liu Xing. Only after seeing Liu Xing nod did she hand over the remaining banknotes to the man.
“Rest assured, this little one has already emptied an entire bottle of aphrodisiac into the wine. Reckon right now Lou Yu Xin and Madam Yao has forgotten everything and are blowing hot and cold, passionately having intercourse! On usual days when Madam Yao meets with Lou Yu Xin, all the members of the Virtue Cloud Troupe will tactfully withdraw, finding some excuse to go out for a stroll, so right now at the Virtue Cloud House there’s only the two of them. Not to mention this little one has already unlocked the Virtue Cloud House’s doors, also……” The man still wanted to talk, but was cut off by Ting Yue.
