Chapter 659: Looking Down At The Court

Translator: Henyee Translations    Editor: Henyee Translations

When the governmental office sent the guards to catch Auntie Mao at the Yuezheng Mansion, Ms. Mi Junior had tried to hide Auntie Mao, but First Madame let the guards come in.

Auntie Mao was escorted away.

She was completely devoted to Ms. Mi Junior and did not sell out her master. She took the blame herself.

She kept saying that she did not like the way Qiao Xuan treated her Second Mrs. Yuezheng, so she arranged the whole plan privately just to take revenge for Second Mrs. Yuezheng.

She only mentioned Nis. Mi Junior, but not Yuezheng Ting. After all, she did not want to ruin Yuezheng Tings reputation.

That was quite thoughtful of her.

Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were not hurt, but since Auntie Mao’s plan was to hurt the examination partic.i.p.ants, she had committed a serious crime.

The imperial court really paid attention to talents and the imperial examination. If the criminals were not punished seriously, it would encourage anyone to hurt the partic.i.p.ants.

Malicious people could buy some hooligans to kill or hurt the talented ones and have a servant to take the blame.

That was horrible!

That was belittling the court!

So, the officer in the governmental office decided to set up an example with Auntie Mao and her brother. He ordered that Auntie Mao and her brother were going to be imprisoned, and then exiled to the South Island, thousands of miles away. They would never be allowed to return.

Second, Mrs. Yuezheng from the Yuezheng Mansion did not know anything about this, but the whole thing was caused by her. Since the culprit was working for her closely, she was ordered to provide a compensation of 10,000 liang to Shao Yunduan along with an apology.

Auntie Mao and her brother regretted their actions so badly at the moment. But there was no chance for them to change their words.

No chance!

The sister and brother regretted it. They were crying hard! South Island? That was a barren land! And never to return? That was horrible!

Auntie Mao had thought that Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan were not hurt and Second Mrs. Yuezheng would help her too. So, she would probably only get some hits on the back and a few lectures, or imprisonment for half a month, which was not too bad.

That was a punishment she could bear.

Moreover, Second Mrs. Yuezheng would help her so she would not need to suffer much.

But the whole thing turned out to be so serious.

Second Mrs. Yuezheng was annoyed too. She rushed to First Madame. “Elder sister-in-law, don’t you think that you are behaving way over the top for someone outside the family? You are ruining our family’s reputation! Don’t you ever forget that you are also part of the Yuezheng Family!’

First Madame looked at her coldly. “The difference between you and me is that you never talk sense. I will not mind my reputation if I am doing things against immorality. If you ever care about the Yuezheng Family, you would never have done a thing like this. You are the one who makes the mistake, and still you are not learning from it, instead, you are pushing it all to me.”

“l am telling you, Xuan is not someone outside the family. She and I get on well with each other. I have not officially asked her to become my G.o.ddaughter, but I treat her as my real daughter! You better remember this, if you ever want to set up her and Yunduan, you will be my enemy!’ “If you are my enemy, I won’t spare you either!”

Ms. Mi Junior shivered out of anger. She almost lost her breath.

First Madame sneered and added. “Also, you think that it was I who made Auntie Mao get so seriously punished and you lose the money?”

Ms. Mi Junior’s face sank. “Not you?”

“Of course not. I am not lying to you.. You can think carefully about who else is involved in the matter?”
