Chapter 520: Chapter 521 No Wind No Waves_1 Chapter 520: Chapter 521 No Wind No Waves_1 “So, we actually did him a favor by going along with the current!” Qingya was furious.

Muniang snorted coldly, “This favor by going along with the current is not so easily done; sooner or later, I will demand repayment with interest from him!”

The matter caused such a commotion in the city that it could not be kept secret, so Muniang decided to be honest with Yu Ze about it. That foolish woman caused trouble and also made Muniang suffer a headache, which made her very angry inside.

“I will quiet this rumor as soon as possible, as for the Yao family, letting them off lightly is already merciful,” Yu Ze said coldly.

“For now, let’s not stir up more troubles, Yu Jin hasn’t been found yet, and you also need to deal with the matters of the Guards. I don’t want you to get distracted because of such things.”

Yu Ze tightened his grip on Muniang’s hand, “Your matters are not a distraction.”

“Then just send a few Hidden Guards to give them a lesson, even if it causes a commotion. Our family has just arrived in Qinghua City; we’re drawing attention to ourselves a bit too often.”

“Mm.”

Muniang then pulled Yu Ze to sit down, “How about Yu Jin’s situation? Some days have passed already, and there is still no sign of him. There’s also no news from the Capital about them entering the city.”

“Today the Hidden Guard sent back a message; it seems they have tracked them heading to Qianyuan Valley. They are in disguise, and that Nangong Anan is cunning, changing her appearance every day, seemingly afraid of being recognized.”

“Qianyuan Valley? What kind of place is that?”

“It is said to be a temporary residence of a wandering Divine Doctor. I think I understand why Nangong Anan brought Yu Jin to the Daqian Dynasty,” Yu Ze said, his tone finally softening a bit.

Muniang nodded, “So that’s how it is, she wants to have his leg treated?”

“Yu Jin is also proud, naturally not wanting me to see him in a sorry state, so he wants to get his leg injury treated first. It’s hard to find that Divine Doctor, and now that we have tracked him to that place, we won’t miss the chance. I don’t want to disturb them rashly and make Yu Jin feel uncomfortable inside.”

“That’s true. Hiding and not meeting, it is probably Yu Jin’s intention. It’s better for us to wait patiently.”

——

“Have you heard? The Yao family left Qinghua City in disgrace. It must be because of the humiliation from the matter with Lady Yu and the annulment of the engagement, so they moved away.”

“That can’t be. It’s just a matter of losing some face; why make a big deal and move? Look, Lady Yu is still living in Qinghua City without a problem.”

“That, I don’t know. There might be other hidden reasons, but it’s pitiable. One’s own fiance got involved with another courtesan, one throws a tantrum, and in the end, the one who suffers the most is oneself. What a world!”

“Don’t talk nonsense. Everyone says that Mr. Rong Liming has nothing to do with Lady Yu, why do you still gossip so much?”

“Hmph, I don’t believe it. I’ll tell you, that’s just how the noble families cover up their shame!”

An elegant and luxurious carriage slowly entered the city, the passenger inside slightly lifting the carriage curtain upon hearing this discussion, her beautiful brows furrowing slightly, “Go find out whom they are talking about.”

Qiao Xin turned and went to inquire, then came back to report, “Marquise, it seems they are talking about the Princess.”

The curtain was slammed down forcefully, and a voice filled with anger came from inside the carriage, “Don’t just stand there, hurry up and drive!”

Muniang happened to rise early today, and after nursing her child, she played with the two children. Soon after, a servant came to report, “It seems a distinguished guest has arrived.”

Muniang was startled, “What distinguished guest?”

“This servant does not know, it seems to be someone from the Capital.”

Muniang felt a thump in her heart and quickly went out to welcome the guest, only to see Jian Yue stepping slowly out of the carriage, leaving her stunned and speechless.

“What? Can’t stand the sight of me?” Jian Yue’s tone was nothing short of unpleasant.

Muniang quickly bowed and greeted, “How could that be? As a daughter-in-law, I was simply too happy to see mother coming that I couldn’t react in time.”

But her heart was racing. Jian Yue was truly ruthless, having actually come all the way from the Capital. Now, hearing her tone, it must be that she was here to find fault with Muniang, proving that Steward Chen really knew how to stir up trouble!

Jian Yue didn’t respond at all and just walked straight into the mansion.

Muniang hurriedly followed alongside to lead the way.

Once they were inside, Qingya served tea, and then Jian Yue coldly commanded, “The rest of you may leave.”

Qingya, looking worriedly at Muniang, obediently left.

Qiao Xin, who had been brought by Jian Yue, naturally didn’t have to leave, and she stood behind Jian Yue.

When everyone else had left the room, Jian Yue’s expression turned completely cold, “Kneel down!”

Muniang bit her lip and knelt obediently.

“Qiao Muniang, you really have some nerve, not only do you disregard me, but you also disregard Ze’er. I never cared that you came from a humble family, but you fail to appreciate that and repeatedly cross my bottom line. Don’t think that just because Ze’er protects you, you can do whatever you please!”

“This daughter-in-law has never held mother in contempt, nor have I disregarded my husband. Mother’s words confuse me,” Muniang said calmly.

“Confused? What about Steward Chen’s incident? How about the rumors spreading all over Qinghua City?”

Muniang’s heart skipped a beat, and she could only respond, “Those are all rumors. Mother mustn’t get angry over such things. I know my place; the matter reached the officials and they have passed judgment, the Yao family made unfounded accusations.”

Jian Yue suddenly smashed the teacup on the floor, “There’s no smoke without fire! As a married woman, you wouldn’t have these problems if you didn’t wander about recklessly. Women from humble families lack discipline; when Ze’er was insistent on marrying you, I let it go, but now I’m regretting not stopping it. I’ve heard you’re also conducting business? It’s indecent for a married woman to show her face in public like that and deal with men. Ze’er may tolerate you, but Marquis Chen Mansion will not allow you this freedom!”

Muniang bit her lip and said nothing. She had thought that living in a remote place would mean fewer issues, but now she realized that as long as there was a mother-in-law, no distance was too far to cause trouble. If there were to be a head-on confrontation, it couldn’t be from her; Yu Ze was currently establishing the Underground Guard and had gone out early in the morning. Qingya was clever, surely she had gone to inform others. If there was to be a protest against Jian Yue, it would have to be Yu Ze’s role.

“Mother hasn’t seen her grandson yet, has she? The child is currently in the West Garden,” Muniang attempted to change the subject.

Jian Yue cursed, “Don’t think that I’ll let you off just because you’ve given birth to a son now. A woman of your character is not fit to be a daughter-in-law of our Marquis Chen Mansion!”

But despite her words, she stood up and walked outside. Regardless of everything, it was still her own grandson, and one of the main reasons for her visit was to see him; naturally, she had to go and look.
