Chapter 79 – The Madam Calls (2)
Yan Xu raised his eyebrows. “You don’t know them? The man you wanted me to save is like a lucky koi living inside the cool waters of the imperial citadel. You’re the only one who is in trouble. These two men were sent to protect you.”
Ye Mu heard this and her expression turned even more serious bit by bit. “Protect me? He’s not leaving?”
The two men listened and both knelt down in front of her. “Young miss, His Highness has said that he still had things to do. For now, he refused to leave the Yue country.”
“Nonsense!” Ye Mu was livid, “What nonsense is this?” Ye Mu’s little face scrunched up into a frown.
“You go back and tell him—I don’t need protection! Tell him to go back to his country quickly!”
The two men looked at each other. One of them with a deep voice apologetically answered, “We are sorry, Young Miss. Until we receive an order from Young Master, no one is leaving.”
Ye Mu felt deeply conflicted.
Mo Linyuan…jsut because he had another purpose, he wouldn’t leave?
Just when she was at her wit’s end, there was a knock at the door. Ye Mu glanced at them knowingly and the three men in the room immediately disappeared. She tidied herself up a bit and only then did she open the door.
“Young Miss!” Xiaoqiu hurriedly snuck in. “What you wanted this servant to ask around, this servant has finally brought back some news!”
She leaned in and whispered excitedly, “The Wen family had been in an uproar all morning. They wanted to force the general to release the main wife, but the general couldn’t stand them boasting him around anymore—he was very angry!”
At this point, Xiaoqiu’s voice had risen to a pitch, “He asked how the Wen family could face him when he showed them proof of for the madam’s infidelity. In the end, both sides took a step back: the general promised not to marry and the people of the Wen family also agreed to send Madam to the temple for cultivation. They are to sent her today!”
As Ye Mu listened to Xiaoqiu’s report, she couldn’t distinguish what she truly felt in her heart.
It seemed that the Wen family’s influence was still very strong. After all, Ye Li had a violent personality. If it were anyone else, they would have died a hundred times over.
She waved for Xiaoqiu to retreat and unexpectedly, another person rushed in through the door.
“Young Miss, this is bad!” The servant came in and declared loudly. “Madam is going to the temple to do some reflection and cultivation. But before she leaves, she was asking to see you!”
“Meet me?” Ye Mu’s heart skipped a beat. It seemed like this servant had come bearing news of ill intentions…
However, even if she wanted to resist…it was impossible not to go when Madam had summoned her. Ye Mu had thought for a moment and then made her mind up.
She then walked towards the front hall.
While she still hadn’t stepped a foot inside, Ye Mu had already heard the sound of sobbing. It was likely that the Wen family did not expect Ye Li to hold evidence, thinking perhaps that their original plan to pressure Ye Li into letting Wen Ru go would be successful.
But now, they had no choice but to retreat and let Wen Ru unwillingly go to the temple.
Ye Mu sighed and thought back to the first time she saw Wen Ru. Maidservants had crowded around her, speaking of her importance—it had been a sight to behold. But in a short period of time, she fell from her high position. And until now, she was unable to redeem herself.
Truly, in ancient times, the status of a woman was unfortunately inferior. Regardless of her identity, they could only live on by the will of men.
After she had walked in, the entire room had turned silent. After a long time, a female voice dripping with hatred and anger, sarcastically said, “You are the Ye Mu?”
When Ye Mu looked up, she saw that the front hall was filled with people. An imposing woman who at the head wore a long, luxurious skirt. The moment her red eyes met with Ye Mu’s, she fixed her with a hostile gaze!
Ye Mu saw that Ye Li was among them and relaxed momentarily, “Yes, I am.” turning to Ye Li she asked, “Father. Who are they?”
Ye Mu walked over to his side, but she knew the answer. She was only trying to find a comrade in this battlefield now.
Ye Li bowed and said, “They are your mother’s family—they were looking for you…” after some time he then added, “You should go and accompany your mother to the temple to cultivate.”
“Oh…looking for me? But what could accompanying them to the temple help?” Ye Mu asked in a low voice, pretending to be afraid.
Ye Li still hadn’t replied when Wen Ru, who was sitting by the side, raised her red, tear-stained face to look at her.
“Mu’er. Mother wanted to see you before she leaves. You should come with me to inner room and we’ll speak there…”
