Chapter 36: Taking the Initiative to Write a Letter of Divorce
"S-save, save me!"
Yu Pinghua cried out as he gasped for breath. In the end, he could barely make a sound.
This time, Concubine Gao was truly anxious, and she started crying. She screamed, "Hurry up and stop her! Hurry up!"
However, the servants could not get close to Yu Yunxi thanks to Qian Jiao who was standing behind her.
Finally, when Yu Pinghua seemed to be on the brink of death, Yu Yunxi finally pulled him out and threw him to the ground mercilessly.
Old Madam Zhou and Concubine Gao ran over immediately, crying out in distress.
"Pinghua, Pinghua!"
"Pinghua!"
Madam Chen naturally did not care about the life or death of a b*stard. However, she knew this was a good opportunity to punish Yu Yunxi. Her expression was contemptuous as she berated loudly, "Yu Yunxi, you've really gone too far. If I don't teach you a lesson today, it won't be long before you act like the master of the residence."
Yu Yunxi did not seem to hear Madam Chen at all. She rubbed her hands and said to Aunt Qing, who was very submissive, "My hands are all dirty. Aunt Qing, get me something to wipe my hands with."
"Yes, County Princess."
Aunt Qing took a step forward and handed a handkerchief to Yu Yunxi before she slowly raised her head.
Madam Chen had felt uneasy as soon as she heard the words 'Aunt Qing'. However, when she saw Aunt Qing's face, she shrieked and stumbled back, almost falling.
Everyone was shocked by Madam Chen's reaction.
Yu Wanrong quickly ran over to Madam Chen to support her. "Mother, what's wrong?"
When Yu Wanrong looked over and saw Aunt Qing, her expression changed slightly. Then, she asked coldly, "Aunt Qing? Didn't you accompany Yu Yun… my sister to be buried in the Imperial Mausoleum?"
Based on Yu Wanrong's words, it was clear that she was unaware that Madam Chen had sent someone to kill Aunt Qing.
"Greetings, Madam and Second Miss," Aunt Qing said calmly with a smile as she bowed to Yu Wanrong and Madam Chen. However, she could not hide the resentment in her eyes when she looked at Madam Chen.
Madam Chen held her chest, unable to calm down for a long time. When she finally regained her senses, she pulled Yu Wanrong behind her and stared at Aunt Qing viciously as she questioned, "You're still alive? Why did you come back?"
Aunt Qing smiled and said meaningfully, "I've been away for so many years. I miss Madam very much so I returned to the residence."
At this moment, Yu Wanrong noticed that Madam Chen was holding her hand very tightly. She thought to herself, 'Mother's afraid? What is she afraid of? Did that b*tch, Yu Yunxi, deliberately bring Aunt Qing back? Did Aunt Qing betray Mother and defect to Yu Yunxi's side?'
Yu Wanrong's expression was slightly twisted as she asked, "Aunt Qing, my mother had always treated you well, right? Are you going to help my sister deal with us now?"
"Second Miss, I didn't have such intentions, but someone is unwilling to let me go," Aunt Qing said with a laugh. She was no longer respectful when she spoke to Yu Wanrong.
Yu Wanrong wanted to continue scolding Aunt Qing, but Madam Chen grabbed her hand and said in a low voice, "Wanrong, step aside for now."
Yu Yunxi wiped the water off her hands. Then, she raised an eyebrow and asked lightly, "Madam Chen, didn't you want to teach me a lesson earlier? Do you still want to teach me a lesson now?"
Madam Chen's expression was extremely unsightly at this moment. Her eyes were filled with hatred as though she wanted to devour someone. She said through gritted teeth, "Yu Yunxi, you're really great! You even brought Aunt Qing here."
At this moment, Old Madam Zhou turned around and reprimanded Madam Chen loudly, "Pinghua is still unconscious. Why are you spouting nonsense with that sl*ut? Hurry up and punish her!"
Madam Chen's expression worsened.
'This old b*tch actually dares to order me around!'
Madam Chen clenched her hands tightly. She did not dare to act rashly because she was not sure how many secrets Yu Yunxi had learned from Aunt Qing. She took a deep breath to suppress the anger and hatred in her heart before she quickly walked over to Old Madam Zhou and said, "Old Madam, let the doctor tend to him first. We'll deal with the rest later."
Madam Zhou frowned. Although she really wanted to kill Yu Yunxi now, after thinking about it, she thought that Yu Yunxi's lowly life was not as important as that of Yu Pinghua. As such, she compromised.
Everyone left in a hurry.
Concubine Su looked at Yu Yunxi worriedly, but she did not say anything in the end and returned to her courtyard.
Yu Wanrong did not leave. She stared at Yu Yunxi with a piercing gaze. She knew her mother very well. Her mother would not have let go of such a good opportunity to punish Yu Yunxi under normal circumstances.
'Mother's behavior was really too strange earlier. Does this b*tch have something on her?'
Finally, Yu Wanrong suppressed the hatred in her heart and asked probingly, "Sister, what did you do to my mother?"
Yu Yunxi looked at Yu Wanrong coldly and asked in return, "If you want to know, wouldn't it be better for you to ask your mother directly?"
Yu Wanrong clenched her hands, looking a little angry. However, very quickly, a smug smile appeared on her face. She said, "Sister, you've only been back for a few days, but you've already caused so much trouble in the residence. Is it because you hate me? Do you hate me because the Crown Prince favors me? Or do you hate me for stealing the Prince Regent's attention?"
Yu Yunxi felt speechless.
'Is there something wrong with her brain?'
Yu Wanrong continued saying, her voice growing even more smug, "It's not surprising. After all, you still carry the title Princess Consort. Alas, no one from the Prince Regent's Residence has invited you back. The Prince Regent doesn't even want to look at you. How pitiful."
Yu Yunxi pursed her red lips and did not reply, but her gaze was extremely cold.
Yu Wanrong touched the golden hairpin on her head meaningfully and continued to say with a smile, "Oh, that's right. Sister, you try to make things difficult for us, but you forget that the Prince Regent will definitely help us. As long as I speak up, he definitely won't stand idly by."
Yu Yunxi sneered. "He'll help you? So many days have passed, has he done anything?"
These words successfully caused Yu Wanrong's expression to turn unsightly under the veil. She had sent people to the Prince Regent's Residence over the past two days, but there had been no news. She had even deliberately visited the Prince Regent's Residence this morning, but the guard at the entrance had said that Feng Yili had not been in the residence over the past few days.
Yu Wanrong pretended to be calm and said arrogantly, "I haven't gone to look for him yet. After all, I'm worried about your feelings, Sister. No matter what, you're his Princess Consort and carry the title of Princess Regent. If he were to help me, wouldn't it be humiliating for you? Sister, if you're more sensible, this matter…"
Yu Yunxi did not wait for Yu Wanrong to finish speaking. She said frostily, "That's enough. I'm not a weak person. You can use whatever tricks you have."
Then, Yu Yunxi turned around and left, leaving a fuming Yu Wanrong, who almost tore her handkerchief in anger, behind.
However, Yu Yunxi's mood was not any better. She walked quickly, and her expression grew colder and colder. A hint of anger could even be seen in the depths of her eyes.
After returning to her courtyard, Yu Yunxi stormed into her room.
Qian Jiao could not help but gulp when she saw how angry Yu Yunxi was. After all, Yu Yunxi rarely lost her temper like this.
At this time, Yu Yunxi suddenly turned around and said coldly, "Qian Jiao, get me a brush and ink."
"County Princess, what do you need them for?"
"I want to write a divorce letter. I don't want the titles of Princess Consort or Princess Regent anymore!" Yu Yunxi said angrily.
