Long Live the Empress

Chapter 220 True Face

Jinyuyuan

Yue Jinghao was counting the treasures with Manou when they saw Nanny Qin coming in hurriedly.

"Miss, the old lady and the others know about the eldest young master..." Nanny Qin whispered in Yue Jinghao's ear.

"Oh? How did they know?" Yue Jinghao paused for a moment and continued to record.

"The Third Miss was pushed into a corner... They didn't believe it at first!"

Yue Jinghao smiled slightly, "No one would believe this! Since my grandmother is sick, I have to go and show my filial piety!"

"Miss, you have just been conferred the title of county lady and now you are going to visit the old lady, isn't that unlucky?" Agate couldn't stand the old lady's opportunism and blurted out disrespectful words.

"What's unlucky? No matter how bad the old lady is, she is still my grandmother. I must do what I should do!" Yue Jinghao put down the brush in her hand, washed her hands casually, and went to the old lady's yard with a century-old ginseng.

The doctor's medical skills were very good. After just a few injections, the old lady woke up.

After the old lady woke up, she drove everyone out of the room, leaving only Nanny Zhang by her side.

When Yue Jinghao arrived at the door, she heard the old lady sobbing, which made Yue Jinghao feel sad.

Although her grandmother had not cared about her in the past and let her fend for herself, if she thought about it carefully, the old lady was also making plans for the Yue Mansion and her son's future, so she was not a bad person. Yue Jinghao shook the old ginseng in her hand and was about to lift the curtain to go in when she heard the old lady say: "Tell me, is this retribution! Retribution for me, an old woman, being selfish and cruel!"

"Old Madam, please don't say that. Madam's matter...you are also doing this for the good of the Yue Mansion..."

Madam? Hearing that it was related to her mother, Yue Jinghao gently withdrew her hand.

"Back then, I looked down on her because she was the daughter of a merchant, but Wen'er needed a large sum of money to establish connections in order to serve as an official in the court, so I asked someone to propose marriage. Later, Wen'er finally became the prime minister, and even the Su family was from an official family, but the prime minister's wife was the daughter of a merchant... That's why I took action against her..."

Yue Jinghao was shocked by the old lady's words. Her mother didn't die of illness, but was killed by the old lady? Was it because she was attracted by the wealth of her maternal grandparents that she proposed to her mother? In the end, Yue Hanwen finally became the prime minister with the dowry brought by her mother. But the old lady didn't like her mother, so she killed her mother?

Yue Jinghao didn't know this in her previous life, so she still had a little affection for the old lady in this life, but she never expected that the old lady was the one with the sinister mind...

Agate supported Yue Jinghao who was about to faint and almost cried out.

Yue Jinghao shook her head, signaling Manjue to keep quiet, as she wanted to continue listening to what the old lady would say.

"Madam...it's all over. The eldest daughter is now the princess of the county...our Yue Mansion will be fine!" Madam Zhang didn't know how to comfort the old lady. She could only say things that would make her happy.

"Tell me, if she knew that I was the one who killed her mother, would she hate me and Wen'er?"

"Madam, you think too much. I am the only one who knows about this. How could the young lady know about it? You should take care of yourself first and think about how to arrange for the young lady in the future..."

"..."

Yue Jinghao couldn't listen any longer. If she hadn't experienced those things in her previous life, she wouldn't have believed that there would be such a shameless person like the old lady in the world! Not only did she kill her mother, but she also wanted to squeeze out her value... It's simply... It's too shameless!

Yue Jinghao didn't know how she got back to Jinyuyuan. She just felt like she fell into an ice cave and her whole body was cold.

Manou covered Yue Jinghao with several quilts and put several hand warmers in the quilts, but Yue Jinghao was still shivering.

"Miss! Don't get yourself hurt by being angry! If anything happens to you again, who will avenge Madam..." Manju said while wiping her tears. She hated the people in Yue Mansion to death. They were all jackals, tigers and leopards. No, even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. To call them beasts is an insult to beasts!
