Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 402

~ THE SU FAMILY IS IN BIG TROUBLE ~

Hearing Mu Yunyao’s words, the guests were all dumbfounded. Is another reversal had come?

The glee in the Eldest Madam’s eyes vanished, replaced by unease. “What did you say?” Mu Yunyao lightly patted the clothes on her left shoulder as if she was flicking away the dust that had fallen there. “Just now, I saw that Grandmother and Eldest Aunt were already so anxious that they were disappointed in me. Thus, it should be because they had confirmed the red flower birthmark on me, right? However, I find it strange. How do you know if I have a birthmark on my body? Have you deliberately asked someone to inquire?” After hearing Shen Ce’s words, Mu Yunyao carefully thought about it and recalled. When they were returning to the Capital from Jingling City, she had been bored and had spent some time developing rouge, hoping to make the rouge insoluble in water. Thus when she was bathing, she drew a flower on her shoulder. However, it disappeared as soon as it was soaked in the water. After dispersing, she could no longer be bothered and put aside this matter. Presumably, Mama Liu or the others had accidentally seen it at that time and used it as her trump card today!

“… Previously, when we investigated you and your mother’s ident.i.ties, we found some information about that....”

“Eldest Aunt’s words are surprisingly funny. You guys only need to investigate whether or not my mother is the daughter of the Su family. Why are you investigating me too? Also, who the h.e.l.l did you send to investigate me and find out whether I have a birthmark or not?”

The Eldest Madam was at a loss for words.

Mu Yunyao scoffed, “Do you want me to take off my clothes and let Grandmother and Eldest Aunt have a look at it in public?”

The Eldest Madam clenched her fists tightly and turned to ask the Old Madam for her opinion. “Mother....” She saw that Shen Ce was so sure, and the Old Madam was also extremely calm. She thought that things were going well, so she became a bit more impatient. But she didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, Mu Yunyao would grab hold of her weakness and turn the tables on her.

It was difficult for her to dismount from the tiger now. With so many guests watching, this matter had to be explained in detail. The Su family had truly gotten into big trouble.

The Old Madam stared fixedly at Mu Yunyao, and the emotions in her eyes were complicated. If people carefully judged the situation, they could see deep fear and dread within it. She wants to kill Mu Yunyao, and she thinks about it all the time. Mu Yunyao was really too similar to that person. Not only was it her looks and appearance, but also the brutal demeanor and unparalleled resourcefulness of that person. No matter how well she planned, even if it is a certain death situation, she would still be able to find a way to survive and would turn defeat into victory!

Mu Yunyao’s figure was straight, and her face was as cold as frost, “Grandmother, Eldest Aunt, do you want to have a look at it in public?”

The Eldest Madam’s teeth chattered. Everything that had happened previously echoed in her mind. Every time she thought that Mu Yunyao would be unable to turn around, the other party would be met with a head-on attack, viciously crus.h.i.+ng her to the ground. Could it be that this time was no exception?

The Old Madam tried her best to ease her expression, revealing a forced smile, “Yunyao, it’s not that your aunt and I don’t believe you, but it’s just that this matter is important. Your Elders Sister Su You lost her life because of this, so we have no choice but to investigate.” Mu Yunyao laughed, but her eyes were tinged with tears. “I should have known earlier on. No matter how respectful and cautious I was, in the hearts of Grandmother and Eldest Aunt, I would only be that crude girl from the countryside. Since that’s the case, then let’s have a look at it. However, if I didn’t have any so-called birthmarks, could it prove my innocence?”

Lady Jin came out and said, “Yunyao, Mother has always believed in you. If you don’t have a birthmark on you, it would naturally be that Shen Ce spoke nonsense. I will definitely tell your Father about this matter, and even if it would cause a ruckus in front of the Emperor, he will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and return your innocence.”

Mu Yunyao nodded with tears in her eyes, “Thank you, Mother. It just so happened that Old Madam Chu was here today. Her moral character was valuable, and she will never be biased to conceal it. Let the Old Madam Chu check it for me. Grandmother, Eldest Aunt, you two should have no objections, right?”

The two nodded, and their expressions dark.

Old Madam Chu stood up and gestured for the servants to prepare the rooms.

Arriving in the room, Mu Yunyao bowed to Old Madam Chu. “Greetings, Old Madam. I’ll have to trouble you with today’s matter.”

“No need to be so courteous. I have long heard of your reputation. Today, I wanted to meet you and say a few words to you, but it was disturbed for no reason. How about I invite you to my residence as a guest another day?” Old Madam Chu’s face was so amiable. There was a gentle and watery aura around her. She is not like Jin w.a.n.g, who on the surface was soft but indifferent from the inside.

Mu Yunyao was slightly flattered. “Alright, I’ll definitely come to the Old Madam’s residence and pay my respects to the Old Madam if I have the chance in the future.”

The Old Madam Chu nodded, “Although I believe in your innocence, I still have to take a look at it for the sake of fairness.”

Mu Yunyao nodded and opened up her s.h.i.+rt, revealing her round white shoulders. She didn’t even have a red mark, let alone the red flower birthmark.

Old Madam Chu then understood in her heart, “I’ve let you suffer.”

Mu Yunyao pulled up her clothes and lightly shook her head. “As long as I can prove my innocence, it doesn’t matter if I suffer some grievances.”

Very quickly, the two of them came out of the room. Old Madam Chu spoke directly with a gentle and clear voice, “Miss Mu is innocent.”

The Eldest Madam’s face was ashen, and she could not maintain her expression. She was no longer in the mood to show her heartache.

Mu Yunyao walked down the steps. “Grandmother, Eldest Aunt, it has now been proven that Shen Ce has maliciously framed me. Combined with what the maids and mamas said before, today’s matter was purely a setup to frame me. As for the master who is behind it, we should continue to investigate Liu Mama.”

The Eldest Madam’s face was drained of blood. She raised her head to look at the Old Madam, hoping that she would make up her mind soon. However, the Old Madam’s expression changed. She reached out her hand to brush away her finger. “Daughter-in-law, Liu Mama is your servant. What did she do? As her master, you shouldn’t be entirely in the dark, right?”

“Mother, what do you mean by that?” Last time, when Mu Yunyao wanted to leave the Su family’s residence, the Old Madam had pushed her out to be the scapegoat. This time, was she going to repeat the same old trick again?

The reason why she had accepted it so easily was that she knew that Mu Yunyao had no real evidence. However, this time it was different. Whether it was the servants serving Su You, Shen Ce, or Liu Mama, if they were tortured to extort confessions, these people would definitely not be able to take it. At that time, she would really be finished!

The Old Madam’s face was calm, and her eyes were full of warnings when she swept over the Eldest Madam, “This matter is too shocking. We need to investigate it more thoroughly. There are many guests today, and it is bustling with activity. We should send all of the guest out first, then interrogate them more thoroughly.”

There was silence reigned in the front courtyard as the guests stopped their discussions. By now, the situation is very clear from the att.i.tude of the Old Madam and the Eldest Madam. This matter is set up from beginning to end in order to kill Mu Yunyao. As for why they wanted to kill her, just think about how the Eldest Madam’s nickname, Viper Lady, had come about: Firstly, it was to seek wealth, and secondly, it was to seize credit. Fortunately, Mu Yunyao had thought it through carefully, so they did not directly condemn her to death. However, the guest had already guessed the truth. Whether or not they could investigate it thoroughly was still unknown, as the Su family’s power was not small. As soon as the guests leave, even if Mu Yunyao had the ability, could she win against the Su family?
