Chapter 2003: Chapter 2003: Guarding the Grave

Where exactly was she lacking, this old bastard, why did he scorn her in every way? Compared to Luo Qiuyi, she admitted she was far superior.

Why did this old bastard like Luo Qiuyi’s lifeless demeanor so much, and not her?

When she first married Yue Chong, she didn’t skimp on flattering this old bastard either!

But no matter how much she tried to curry favor, this old thing just never looked favorably upon her.

"Mother, must you really pin things I’ve never done on me today?" she retorted, confronting Old Madam Yue.

Old Madam Yue, hearing her words, lifted her gaze to the nanny and gave an order.

"Have those people in the courtyard disperse."

Then, she looked toward Lin Caisang and her entourage, with a message in her eyes that couldn’t be clearer — the Yue Family had family affairs to handle. Even if Lin Caisang was Yue Chushui’s sister, she wasn’t a blood relative, so it would be better for her to step aside.

Of course, Lin Caisang and the others took the hint, made an excuse, and left first, leaving all the assassins in the hands of the people brought by Old Madam Yue.

...

In the end, they didn’t know how Old Madam Yue interrogated Luo Mianyi, nor what Yue Chushui said, but the news they received was that Old Madam Yue outright dismissed Luo Mianyi from the Yue Clan without leaving her any dignity.

As for where she was sent, it was definitely not a good place for Luo Mianyi. It was the grave of Luo Qiuyi, Chushui’s deceased mother, where she was ordered to stand vigil.

Luo Mianyi refused vehemently, using the excuse that her two sons were still minors, hoping to stay within the Yue Clan, repeatedly assuring that she would treat Yue Chushui well in the future.

But how could Old Madam Yue show mercy again? She realized that if she didn’t get rid of Luo Mianyi soon, the two children would soon be corrupted by her.

Yue Tianze was still somewhat manageable, after all, he was almost grown and knew right from wrong, but Yue Tianhao was still young and couldn’t distinguish who was right and who was wrong. If he continued to be influenced by Luo Mianyi’s harmful ideologies, what future would he have?

Yue Chong was the last to receive this news, and when he learned of it, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Didn’t I ask you to handle it? Is Nanny Liu still alive?" he glared at the person beside him and questioned.

"Master, Nanny Liu has long been dead."

The guard responded immediately to his questioning.

"Then what the hell happened?" Yue Chong pressed on.

If Nanny Liu was already gone, it was a case without witness. How had Luo Mianyi managed to botch a winning hand so completely?

"There’s a person skilled in disguise around Old Madam, who frightened the lady with a few words, and she ended up spilling everything she should and shouldn’t have," the guard explained.

"Idiot!"

Yue Chong, with a dark expression, cursed involuntarily.

He had dealt with Nanny Liu, and yet that woman had still failed so miserably.

His own trusted aide, how could it be so easy for someone else to impersonate them? It was clear that woman had never paid any attention to the people around her.

Idiot, not even knowing the true nature of the people beside her, wouldn’t it be just as easy to betray her in the future?

"What did she confess to?" he took a deep breath and asked in a heavy tone.

"This..."

The guard looked up at his question, hesitated, unsure whether to speak.
