Chapter 156 Ill Use Horse Tail to Make Hair for You, Mother

A cup of hot tea splashed towards Yenhong. Everyone only wants to climb onto mens beds. Other than that, what use are you? You cant even do anything right, but now you come to bother me. What is the use of keeping you cheap wenches?

Yenhong was inexplicably scolded and suddenly her anger was to the extreme. Cheap wench. Cheap wench. If it isnt for us cheap wenches, who will do your dirty work for you? You wanted me to poison Liu Yanhong to death last night and frame Xiaojie. Now, you change your tune.

Also, what climbing onto mens beds? Didnt you do the same? To be your maidservant is eight generations of bad luck. If its not being beaten, then its being scolded. We dont have a future with you, so whats the point?

Look at Xiaojies four first-rank maidservants. They live so comfortably. If my parents, younger siblings, and my own slavery deeds arent in your hands, I would have switched to Xiaojies side already.

Yenhong was splashed by the hot tea and an idea sprouted. She then thought of Wei mama and Liulu who were bedridden and couldnt move. She felt that her future following Wang Yiping was very bleak.

The two of them were Wang Yipings confidants, especially Wei mama. She was Wang Yipings nanny and treated Wang Yiping like her own daughter. But what was the result? She suffered forty boards in punishment. Wang Yiping just took one look at them and gave them some ointment.

She wasnt even willing to invite a doctor for them. Her reason was very sufficient. You are servants and arent qualified to invite an imperial doctor over. Most doctors arent working because of the holidays. So, I can only make you two suffer.

Bullsh*t. Who said that doctors werent working? She was just afraid that it coincided with the New Year, so the doctors fees would be too high. She was just reluctant to spend more money.

Yenhong was angry, so she turned around and told her mother, Nee Yu, one of the two stewards of the first households embroidery rooms, about Wang Yipings hair being cut off by a ghost.

Nee Yu looked at her daughters blistered face and went to spread the news everywhere, like a broadcaster. Soon, everyone knew about the deceased furen being unhappy with how the current First Furen was treating her daughter. Her ghost came and cut off all of First Furens hair in revenge.

Everyone already disdained Wang Yiping. Now, witnessing this current scene, they disdained her even more.

Instead, they really thought that Zi You was really filial and kind. She was bullied by her stepmother like this and still spoke up for her.

Zi You originally wanted to destroy Wang Yipings reputation. Now that she had seen the servants gazes, she immediately went over to persuade Old General Mu. Grandfather, on account of Youer, lets forget about this. Please let father and mother come with us to worship the ancestors.

Old General Mu did not know Zi Yous real intentions. He saw her being so tolerant and his heart ached even more. He disliked his first son and first daughter-in-law even more.

He reluctantly allowed the two to go inside the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors.

But things were beyond everyones expectations. When it was Mu YingRuis turn to light incense, Diers memorial tablet fell over with a bang and smashed onto his body.

When it was Wang Yipings turn to light incense, the situation was even stranger. Not only could she not light the incense, but the ancestors memorial tablets all few down.

Old General Mu originally thought that it was Zi You using her spiritual power, but he looked at her black eyes. They did not turn purple.

Then he suspected that Dier was actually hiding in the ancestral hall. But he and Mu YingYi looked around excitedly and could not find traces of anyone there.

Only Zi You knew that all this was done by Shangguan LingRan. That was because she had seen the little spirit mouse Xiaohui that she had given him nimbly dart by.

Since things were like this, Old General Mu could only coldly say to Wang Yiping and Mu YingRui, Did you see that? Its not that Im heartless, but the ancestors cannot tolerate you. After the Spring Festival, you two move out of the Generals Manor.

Moving out of the Generals Manor is letting you off too easily. With grandfathers kindness, he wont really kick you, slag father, out without anything. If he really gives you money and property, wont that be letting you gain a cheap advantage? Im now addicted to playing with you. I cant easily let you get away.

Zi You immediately knelt in front of the ancestors memorial tablets and pled for her parents. I beg the ancestors to forgive my parents mistakes. Unworthy descendant Mu Zi You is willing to bear all the fault and punishment. I beg you! I beg you

She looked very sincere, making Old General Mu very gratified. Even Mu YingRui bowed his head in shame.

Zi Yous forehead was swollen from the kowtowing. Old General Mu couldnt bear this and pulled her up. He reprimanded Wang Yiping and Mu YingRui, You have the nerve to have your child take the blame for you? Hurry and apologize to the ancestors.

So, the two unlucky people knelt for four hours in front of the memorial tablets. When the skin on their foreheads were broken, the ancestors finally forgave them and allowed them to light the incense.

Everything was too easy for Zi You. The caretaker of the ancestral hall was Diers loyal supporter.

Zi You made a mark on each stick of incense to signify which would not burn. Others could not see, but Zi You and Ma Daye who proffered the incense could see them clearly.

After Zi You and Shangguan LingRans actions, Mu YingRui and Wang Yiping could only pretend to be ill, stay in the fu, and not go outside.

Even when the Emperor invited all his officials, ministers, and their families for a banquet, Mu YingRui and Wang Yiping could only sigh regretfully at the Palace that they couldnt go to.

The Palaces banquet on New Years was like a modern-day New Years visit. Everyone had worked hard for a year. The employer and employees gathered to drink and chat and make merry.

In the ancient times, the Emperor invited his officials to bring their families into the Palace to express his grace. Everyone gathered together as proof of the imperial familys favor and grace and embodiment of the Emperors love for his officials. It also came with the opportunity for all the gongzis and xiaojies to meet.

In her previous life, Zi You was afraid of being ridiculed, so she had listened to Wang Yiping Olds advice and did not participate a few times.

As a result, Wang Yiping took advantage of the banquets to discredit her. She told everyone that she was too aloof and disdainful.

Instead, Wang Yiping gave people a very good impression of herself. She was generous, virtuous, and kind. When Zi You had no friends and was humiliated in Duke Yongnan fu, no one blamed Wang Yiping.

Now, it was time for Wang Yiping to experience that feeling.

Arguably, Mu YingRui, as a fourth-rank magistrate with a post elsewhere, was not eligible to attend the Emperors banquet on New Years. But on account of Old General Mu, the Emperor still allowed Old General Mu to bring his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law into the Palace.

Wang Yiping was vain and loved attention. She relied on Old General Mus limelight in the previous life to attend prestigious gatherings. Now, Zi You would not let that poisonous woman get even a little bit of benefit from her grandfather.

Thus, when Zi You went to pay respects to Wang Yiping on New Years, she looked at Wang Yipings tightly wrapped head. She pretended to lament and sighed. Its really a pity! It will be great if mother can go to the Palace with Youer today. Unfortunately, Youer cannot stay with you today. The Emperors imperial edict commanded Youer to bring the female medical team into the Palace.

Wang Yiping was immediately so angry that her liver hurt. The regret on Zi Yous face didnt seem to be fake, but Wang Yiping was certain. She was certain that Zi You came to deliberately annoy her.

Zi You could clearly see the insidiousness and ruthlessness in Wang Yipings eyes. As she was feeling refreshed, she didnt forget to ruthlessly stab a knife into Wang Yipings bleeding heart.

Mother, why dont Youer use hair from a horses tail to make you a wig? Hair from a horses tail is a bit coarse, but its long enough. If you wear it at night with some hairpins, maybe no one will notice. How about Youer go cut some horse hair now to try?

Wang Yiping was so angry that she almost spat out blood. She strongly suppressed the fishy sweetness in her mouth. She lifelessly said, Theres no need. Go and get ready. Im not feeling well. I want to be alone.

Oh. Then you have a good rest. Daughter will take her leave. Zi You hid her smile and left.

Back at Hundred Herb Garden, Zi You laughed heartily. Her laughter startled even the sparrows and other birds that she was raising.

There were parrots, songbirds, swallows, magpies, and eagles.

Unfortunately, among these animals that could psychically communicate with her, she lacked a gyrfaclcon that she really wanted.

Shangguan LingRan had said that he would send her a special gift. She didnt know whether it would be a gyrfalcon.

The trip to the Palace today shouldnt be lonely. After Wang Yiping released some news, she immediately sent Wei mama out to contact Bai Yiniang and Nee Chen. Bai Yiniang immediately contacted Shangguan Lingluo.

Haha It would be fun today. Lets prepare. She couldnt let these people who schemed against her be disappointed.

Zi You made preparations and gave orders to Weishali and the other spirit pets that could psychically communicate her. Then she returned to Youran Ju and began to get dressed.

When everything was ready to go, Old General Mu sent Wanshu over to see if she was ready.

Zi You draped on a white fox cloak and smiled. Im ready. Lets go.

Wanshu looked at Zi You and was shocked. She looked foolishly and exclaimed, Xiaojie, youre really becoming more and more beautiful!

This was sincere praise from her heart. She felt that Xiaojie had been secretly going through changes.

Especially those eyes. They were like a pool of deep well water. They could absorb peoples souls.

Her elegant and refined temperament was also unforgettable. She was like a detached and quietly blooming lotus.

Wanshu was amazed, not to mention the forty-six members of the female medical team.

When Zi You was with them usually, she wore the same altered male military uniform.

They didnt wear a dress with the long robe, but army pants underneath. It was paired with standard black moccasin boots.
