Chapter 2004: Chapter 2004: Sharing a Bed with a Snake!

"Speak!"

Yue Chong’s eyes narrowed, and he said in a fierce tone.

"Yes, Patriarch."

The guard hurriedly responded and recounted to Yue Chong meticulously, all the evil deeds that Luo Mianyi had committed, one by one.

"According to the messenger sent by the Old Madam, it was also the madam’s doing that the Eldest Young Master was switched at birth in the wastelands; she had bribed the mother of Young Master Lin Tianyu to carry out the switch.

And the death of the former madam also had to do with our madam. Even after the Eldest Young Master was found and brought back, she repeatedly made more than a dozen attempts in secret to put the Eldest Young Master to death."

To think, this woman Luo Mianyi would go to such extreme lengths to become the matriarch of the Yue Clan!

First, she caused her own sister’s son to be lost and wandering outside, then personally brought about her sister’s death, and afterward took her place, marrying her sister’s husband, for many years.

Unsatisfied with that, after the Patriarch found the Eldest Young Master, she even had plans to eliminate the powerless Eldest Young Master!

It was also fortunate that the Eldest Young Master was not as useless as others had claimed.

That’s how he managed to survive the madam’s schemes!

"Patriarch, there’s one more thing..."

"What more is there, speak."

Yue Chong took a deep breath and asked.

He really hadn’t expected that Luo Mianyi would do so much behind his back. He thought, at most, Luo Mianyi was simply feeling jealous of Luo Qiuyi, not actually plotting to kill her.

Who would have known that it was indeed Luo Mianyi who had killed her?

At this moment, he remembered why he had taken his pregnant wife, Luo Qiuyi, to the wastelands; it seemed to have been on the suggestion of Luo Mianyi whispering in his ear.

So, at that time, was Luo Mianyi already plotting against his son and planning to kill his wife to secure her position as the matriarch of the Yue Family?

It was good that such a scheming woman was discovered early.

If a few more years had passed without the Yue Clan developing as she had anticipated, and he actually passed on the title of the heir to Chushui, would Luo Mianyi even consider eliminating him, her own husband?

He never would’ve imagined that he had been sharing his bed with a snake all these years!

"The nanny sent by the Old Madam relayed a message, stating it was the Old Madam’s intention, that the madam’s actions would soon be revealed to the Luo Clan, and she hopes that the Patriarch will take care of this matter personally."

The guard bowed his head, not even daring to look at his own master.

The Old Madam’s intention couldn’t be clearer; she was telling the Patriarch to personally apologize to Old Madam Luo, washing her hands of the whole affair.

The Patriarch was accustomed to pride and felt above apologizing to anyone, let alone a woman.

Even if that person was the Patriarch’s mother-in-law, it was not someone whom the Patriarch would stoop to apologize to. Certainly, the Patriarch would be unwilling.

As expected, after Yue Chong heard what the guard had said, his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

What did his mother’s words mean? Was she just washing her hands of the matter?

Was he supposed to go to Old Madam Luo and tell her that it was due to his own negligence that Luo Mianyi was able to kill her own daughter?

But after all, who was it that raised Luo Mianyi? Wasn’t it Old Madam Luo herself?

If Old Madam Luo had not been kind-hearted and nurtured Luo Mianyi, that poisonous snake, how could she have had the opportunity to bring Luo Qiuyi to her end?

It would have been impossible!
