The Fierce Illegitimate Miss

Chapter 102

After Yu Weiwu's death, the Yu Mansion was shrouded in an inexplicably depressive atmosphere. General Yu lost his mother, wife, and eldest son in a short period of time. His temperament became uncertain. He was sometimes silent, sometimes irritable, and he was confrontational. He hit or scolded, and even the other children received a lot of inexplicable reprimands.

Yu Ling Long watched all this with cold eyes, and gradually realized that the hearts of the Yu Mansion had begun to dissipate, and it was Yu Qian Liu that had changed the most.

Without the control of Mu Shi, Yu Qian Liu's character had been fully brought into play. Now, without the supervision of her grandmother and mother, and the care of General Yu, she often found various reasons to go out. Sometimes it was said that she was going to a poetry meeting, sometimes it was said that she was going to a banquet. Later, she saw that General Yu had been ignoring her, and she simply didn't even make up the reasons. She went out when she wanted to go out, and even stayed up all night a few times. This was a big deal for the young lady who has not left the family, but the current Yu Mansion was in a mess, and Concubine Mei, who was the only one in charge, was not qualified to teach Yu Qian Liu, so she had to let her go.

As for the remaining two young ladies, Yu Qian Fang's hair had grown a lot, and it is said to be able to hang over her shoulders, but she still refused to go out. The maid serving close to her said that Yu Qian Fang only reads. For her pastime, the books she reads are all Buddhist scriptures. Recently, she has asked for a Guanyin statue from the Pudu Temple to burn incense and chant the scriptures daily, which had a clear meaning.

Yu Qian Jiao had a hot temper and occasionally went out to walk around the Mu family house. In Ling'er's words, she probably went to guard her dowry.

Nowadays in the Yu house, the most beautiful place is probably Concubine Mei's. Seeing that the new year was approaching, the village taxes and land taxes are about to be paid everywhere. Concubine Mei took a group of stewardess wives all day long, huddling and walking around with everyone. If someone is beautiful, they will be unlucky. Judging from the news received in recent days, Yu Ling Long guessed that someone would be unable to sit still, but she didn't expect that person would come directly to herself.

That night, when it was time to light the lamps, the little maid came to report that Concubine Dong arrived. Yu Ling Long thought for a moment and ordered someone to bring her in. It was early winter, but Concubine Dong only wore a blue cloth and thin cotton cloak, and she had a silver mouse-skin muff in her hand. She wore two old silver hairpins on her bun. She looked pale and very haggard.

Yu Ling Long leisurely leaned against the couch, wearing a band of water-red double phoenixes with beads on her forehead. She wore a silver and red embroidered peony pattern brocade jade dress. Her skin was as white as jade, and her eyebrows were charming with the expression of an effortless beauty.

She glanced at Concubine Dong faintly, and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Knowing that Yu Ling Long did not like nonsense, Concubine Dong stopped avoiding the subject, and even ignoring that Xuan Cao and Ling'er were still in the room, she knelt in front of Yu Ling Long with a plop, "Fourth Lady, please save me!"

Xuan Cao on the side was taken aback, and hurriedly went out to close the door tightly, and lowered the curtain again, and then she and Ling'er exited the room. Yu Ling Long did not ask Concubine Dong to get up, but slowly said, "Save you? How should I save you?"

Concubine Dong's body swayed slightly. Her eyes were full of tears, and she said in a sad voice: "Fourth Lady, I know about you and the old lady. She has always blamed me for being careless, and I hate myself. Why couldn't I be more careful in the first place? That's why the old lady was gone early, and I wished to follow her, but I couldn't let go of Brother Yuan..."
