Chapter 569 - 569 570 Provocative Intent_1

Chapter 569: Chapter 570 Provocative Intent_1 Chapter 569: Chapter 570 Provocative Intent_1 Kelan eventually went to Muniang’s courtyard.

“I have urgent matters to report to the Lady, please, for the love of heaven, let me in,” Kelan pleaded desperately with the old woman guarding the gate.

As soon as the old woman saw it was Kelan, her face immediately soured, “Where does this lowly maid come from! Instead of staying at the Laundry Workshop, you run wild here! Do you really think the Lady is so easy-going that she would let you roam as you please? You want to see the Lady? Get lost!”

Kelan’s face changed, but she still forced down the anger in her heart, gritting her teeth, “I’m begging you, please let me in, I really do have something important.”

The old woman scoffed coldly, “What is it this time? Seen someone seducing the Prince Heir again? You think the Lady is blind? Do you need to be a sycophant all day and night?! Are you leaving, or not? Beware that I might drive you out with a stick, and don’t blame me for not being merciful!”

Inside the room, Muniang had long since heard the voices of Kelan and the old woman; after all, the noise was too loud to misunderstand, Qingya said indignantly, “Lady, your servant will go out and drive her away. This girl simply doesn’t know what’s good for her, really thinks the Lady considers her important!”

Muniang suddenly said, “Not so fast, she probably heard about how Bingyu is favored by me now, and she’s not feeling good about it, probably wants to beg me to take her in as well.”

“Does the Lady have a plan?”

“If she hadn’t come looking for me, I would have let it be, but now that she’s thinking about Bingyu, I’m planning to take this chance to get rid of her too, so I don’t have to worry about her being around the mansion,” Muniang replied.

Muniang was no fool; Kelan might appear simple and honest, but she was full of schemes inside. Wasn’t Bingyu tricked by her once? This was why Muniang hadn’t chosen Kelan but Bingyu as a candidate for Rong Liming instead.

Such a scheming woman, even if she remained in the mansion as a menial maid, Muniang had specifically assigned someone to watch over her, but a moment of negligence might give her an opportunity one day!

Qingya’s eyes lit up, “Does the Lady have any ideas?”

Muniang huffed lightly, “You go out now and take a look, there’s no need to let her in. Just provoke her a bit, mention Bingyu’s situation, say how much I value her now, and even consider making her a concubine for the Prince Heir. When she becomes envious of Bingyu, naturally she’ll pay more attention to Bingyu’s weaknesses. It would be best if she eventually exposes the matter between Bingyu and Rong Liming. Then I won’t have to act; the Marquise would likely be the first to not let her off the hook.”

Immediately understanding, Qingya said repeatedly, “The Lady is truly wise, your servant will take care of it right away!”

The moment Qingya stepped out, Kelan immediately called out eagerly, “Qingya, Qingya, is it because the Lady wants to see me? Could you please take me to her quickly?”

Qingya gave her a disdainful look and sneered, “What are you, that you think you are fit to meet the Lady? The Lady told me to send you away quickly, and if you dare to make trouble again, next time you’ll be directly rewarded with a beating!”

Startled, Kelan shivered and quickly pulled Qingya aside to talk, “Miss Qingya, where have I offended the Lady? Why would she rather accept Bingyu, that little wench, than me?”

Qingya sneered coldly, “How would I know something like that? The Lady’s temperament has always been strange, perhaps it’s because Bingyu has to her taste. You know it as well, the Lady is shrewd herself and naturally doesn’t like others to be clever. With you so obviously scheming against Bingyu, why would she keep you by her side?”

Kelan’s face turned pale, “What does Bingyu have?!”

“What concern is it of yours what she has? She is now the Lady’s favorite, and don’t you doubt it, the Lady is even planning to make her the Prince Heir’s concubine. Otherwise, why do you think the Lady suddenly became so good to her? She’s treating her like one of her own now.”

Kelan’s heart was about to leap out, she clutched Qingya’s hand tightly, “What did you say!? The Lady intends to send her to be the Prince Heir’s concubine?”

“Isn’t it true? Even if the Lady is strong-willed and can’t stand a grain of sand in her eyes, she must listen to the words of the Marquise. Sending you three girls over, releasing one or two is fine, but surely not all three. Wouldn’t that be disrespectful to the Marquise? The Lady kept Bingyu locked up for a month before just to temper her nature. Now after some training, she’s sending her directly to the Prince Heir’s room, so don’t provoke her anymore. In the future, she will be the mistress of Marquis Chen Mansion, and even I have to look at her face, you’d better be wise.”

Having said her meaningful piece, Qingya specifically took a glance at Kelan’s complexion, which sure enough was dark as the bottom of a pot, and chuckled to herself before turning and walking away.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed, and Muniang had barely left the house these days, just staying home and looking after the children. Now that Mei Garden and Yuyang Embroidery House had stabilized, there was nothing for her to worry about. Even the planned tour performance would have to wait until this matter was over.

Seeing that the time was about right, Muniang instructed Bingyu that she could go and find Rong Liming. Bingyu was both shocked and joyous, quickly accepting the task and immediately went to the Rong Family to seek out Rong Liming’s trusted servant Wanshan, expressing her wish to see Rong Liming. Wanshan, being quick-witted, knew the young master hadn’t stopped talking about this beauty for some time. Now that she had come to them, it was natural he should hurry to inform his master.

It just so happened that Rong Liming was dealing with business affairs with his father at the time. Hearing Wanshan’s words, his heart bloomed with joy, but he couldn’t show it, instead, he secretly had Wanshan tell Bingyu to meet him at a villa next to Biyu Bay tonight.

Bingyu sneaked out that very night.

This big event was naturally something Qingya had to let Kelan know about. Before Bingyu left, Qingya deliberately arranged for Kelan to go to the old woman at the back door to fetch some stuff. Everyone had gone to bed at this late hour, so naturally, Kelan wasn’t comfortable being sent out on an errand. However, Qingya was a head servant whom she dared not offend, so she begrudgingly went.

To her surprise, she saw Bingyu sneaking out, and Kelan’s interest was immediately piqued. Who knows what dishonorable things she was up to going out at such a late hour. Now, Kelan was seething with jealousy over Bingyu; the benefits that she couldn’t have, she didn’t want Bingyu to enjoy either.

Following all the way, Kelan saw Bingyu slip into a quaint little courtyard. Not daring to go in, she peered through the crack in the gates and saw a handsome man embrace Bingyu like a ravenous wolf, “Do you know how much I have missed you?”
