Chapter 610: Falling Into the Water

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This was the first time Yu Youyao had come to the Duke Rongs Residence. If it weren’t for the fact that the Duke Rong’s Residence had deliberately led Yu

Youyao there, how would Yu Youyao have known that there was a crepe myrtle garden in the Duke Rong’s Residence? How would she have known the way?

If anything happened to Eldest Miss Yu, it would be the fault of the Duke Rong’s Residence for being rude to their guests.

Yu Youyao was stunned. Seeing her grandmother clutching her chest and panting, she quickly stepped forward and served her grandmother tea.

Old Madam Yu couldn’t be bothered to drink her tea. She grabbed Yu Youyao’s hand and squeezed out, “B-but what went wrong…”

Yu Youyao was shocked and quickly shook her head. “No, nothing went wrong. Fifth Miss Yin brought me to the entrance of the crepe myrtle garden and said that she wanted to change, so she left without a trace. I waited for a while, but I didn’t see Fifth Miss Yin return. Seeing that there was no one nearby, I felt that it was inappropriate and quickly brought Xia Tao back. As I was walking in a hurry, I accidentally slipped and dirtied my shoes. Chun Xiao went to help me get new shoes.”

As she spoke, she revealed the shoes hidden under her dress. The tops of the shoes were sc.r.a.ped.

Old Madam Yu finally heaved a sigh of relief, but her anger did not dissipate at all. “What’s wrong with you? Instead of admiring the flowers with the other sisters, you went out alone. Why did you go to the crepe myrtle garden? You’ve forgotten all the etiquette and rules…”

Yu Youyao’s eyes turned red from her grandmother’s scolding, but she pursed her lips and did not dare to say anything.

At the side, Xia Tao’s heart ached for Young Miss. She knelt on the ground with a thud. “Matriarch, please calm down. You can’t blame this on Young Miss. This is the first time Young Miss has come to the Duke Rong’s Residence, and she doesn’t know the way. It was Fifth Miss Yin who took the initiative to bring Young Miss into the crepe myrtle garden. Halfway through, Young Miss saw that there were fewer and fewer people, so she felt that it was inappropriate. She asked Fifth Miss Yin, and she said that she saw that Young Miss was very interested in the scenery of the Duke Rong’s Residence. That was why she took a detour and walked to the crepe myrtle garden for her to admire the flowers…

The eyes of the various Madams present flashed.

To be honest, this was clearly the fault of the Duke Rong’s Residence. Eldest Miss Yu could not be blamed at all.

Eldest Miss Yu had sensed it and returned in time. She was already considered smart. If it were someone else who was stupid, they would probably really believe Fifth Miss Yin.

Poor Eldest Miss Yu had almost suffered a loss in the Duke Rong’s Residence, but because she was a guest, no matter how aggrieved she was, she couldn’t say it explicitly. This caused her grandmother’s eyes to turn red on the spot.

No one present was stupid.

Fifth Miss Yin did not bring Eldest Miss Yu to the place to admire the flowers, but only led her to the crepe myrtle garden.

Fifth Miss Yin had led her to the crepe myrtle garden alone, but she had used an excuse to escape. What did she mean?

There were groups of servants in the Duke Rong’s Residence. Even if it was the Flower Festival today, there should still be people near the crepe myrtle garden. Only the Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence could make such an arrangement.

This was clearly on purpose!

Old Madam Yu’s face was ashen as she looked at the Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence.

However, the Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence’s face turned pale.

The old princess consort glared at the princess consort of Duke Rong’s Residence. “Tell me clearly, what exactly is going on?

In the room, the other Madams also looked at the Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence.

Under the gazes of everyone in the room, the Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence felt like she had nowhere to hide. Now, what should she do?

Yu Youyao was indignant. She had almost been schemed against by the Duke Rong’s Residence, so she deliberately put on an act with Old Madam Yu.

It turned out that she had to take into account the relationship with the Duke

Rong’s Residence and avoided saying things that were difficult to say. Under Old Madam Yu i s pretense of “rigorously” interrogating her just now, she had no choice but to reveal it.

Why hadn’t she expected Yu Youyao to be so cunning at such a young age?

The Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence Prefecture groaned inwardly. “Since it is the Flower Festival today, the residence is very busy. Perhaps it’s the steward of the residence who has transferred the servants who were left behind to help out elsewhere. I didn’t expect Fifth Miss to be so ignorant as to lure Eldest Miss Yu to the crepe myrtle garden. This is our Fifth Miss’s fault. I’ll immediately send someone to get Fifth Miss to ask about this and give Eldest

Miss Yu an explanation…”

These words were not vague at all, but they pushed all the blame to Fifth Miss Yin in an attempt to cover up the situation.

Which Madam present wasn’t smart?

As soon as she heard this, they knew that there was something fishy.

They wondered what Fifth Miss Yin was scheming by luring Eldest Miss Yu into the crepe myrtle.

The room immediately fell silent

Old Madam Yu stared fixedly at the Princess Consort of the Duke Rong’s Residence, as if she wanted to eat someone.

Even though the Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence had already thought of the aftermath, she was not afraid. She felt a faint sense of uneasiness. However, when she thought about how the Duke Rongs Residence was an imperial relative, as long as Eldest Miss Yu did not have concrete evidence, no matter what happened, it would not be her fault.

Her heart calmed down again.

The old princess consort was not satisfied with this answer, but family scandals should not be spread in public. No matter what her eldest daughter-in-law was plotting, not only could she not expose it in public, but she also had to help cover it up.

Hence, she looked at Yu Youyao comfortingly. “Eldest Miss Yu, this is the fault of our Duke Rong’s Residence. Don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer for nothing.”

Yu Youyao quickly said, “Old Princess Consort, you’re being too serious. It’s not a big deal. l i m fine anyway. Let’s end this matter here, lest it disturbs the

Flower Festival in your residence and I ruin the scene.”

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a flurry of footsteps outside.

Then, a maidservant in a navy dress rushed in in a panic. “Princess Consort, bad news. Third Prince, he, he fell into the water…

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar!

Pairs of incredulous gazes landed on the Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence.

The crepe myrtle garden was in the inner courtyard. The Princess Consort of the Duke Rong’s Residence had arranged for the Third Prince to be in the crepe myrtle garden and asked the fifth young miss of the residence to guide Yu Youyao to the crepe myrtle garden.

Even the stupidest person would understand what this meant.

Eldest Miss Yu was already shocked. Her face was pale as she stood in the room and trembled. She looked at the Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence in a daze. Even her eyes were red. She looked too pitiful.

This Duke Rong’s Residence was really lacking in virtue!

Old Madam Yu grabbed the teacup in her hand, her entire body trembling.

She had been on guard, but she had never expected that Consort Xu would use such a dirty trick when she had taken a fancy to Yao Yao. She did not even talk to her in private.

Fortunately, Yao Yao was smart.

Otherwise, Yao Yao’s life would be ruined, and even the Yu Residence would be implicated in the battle for the position of heir.

The old princess consort was so shocked that she fell back. The maidservant serving her hurriedly went forward and called out, “Old princess consort, old princess consort…”

The room was in chaos, and the Madams of the various families looked at each other..
