Aunt Yu beca pregnant and told Yun Chen about it, keeping it a secret all along. Yun Chen allowed Aunt Yu to have the child, but sohow she got into trouble with Mrs. He. Mrs. He punished Aunt Yu, forcing her to kneel in the ice and snow for two hours, which resulted in Aunt Yu having a miscarriage.
And it happened on the very day of New Year’s Eve.
Aunt Yu writhed in agony in the back yard for a full day, and cursed Mrs. He the whole ti.
In the end, she couldn’t hold on. Both she and the child died.
How could Mrs. He not know that Aunt Yu was pregnant? She just didn’t want Aunt Yu to give birth to the child, that’s all.
Of course, Yun Chen knew about it as well.
After Aunt Yu’s death, Yun Chen felt upset inside and slapped Mrs. He hard across the face, cursing, "Vicious woman!"
He imdiately chose two maids from Mrs. He’s quarters, forced them to beco aunts as punishnt, naly Aunt Xiao and Aunt Gui, giving Mrs. He a heavy blow to her pride.
Aunt Xiao and Aunt Gui, the most beautiful maids in Mrs. He’s service, often flirted with Yun Chen, exchanging glances full of aning. Now their wishes were fulfilled and they were overjoyed.
So, there was no need to celebrate the New Year anymore.
At Qiyue Academy,
Upon hearing the news, Mrs. Han was silent for a mont before saying, "This is the image of a house in disarray. Bai Que, we must root this out sooner rather than later!"
"Yes!"
"Also, move those things from Niannian Garden and Jinnian out earlier. If there are maids who can be sent away, do so and settle them sowhere before we run into trouble trying to remove them later!"
Mrs. Han paused and continued, "And for the maids and old won in Qiyue Academy, send a batch away after the New Year as well. Pass the ssage to Aunt Lian too, so she can be prepared!"
Aunt Lian had given birth to boy and girl twins on the twenty-fifth of December.
Now she had truly captivated Yun Qi.
Mrs. Han, faced with this, truly felt neither sorrow nor joy.
Bai Que bowed her head, "Madam, Miss Yun Muyou might have had a hand in the affair concerning Aunt Yu as well!"
"Yun Muyou?" Mrs. Han was puzzled.
"Yes, that day soone saw Miss Muyou’s maid getting quite close to Aunt Yu’s maid..."
Mrs. Han understood imdiately and snorted coldly, "She’s not afraid of ruining her own good fortune!"
A girl of marriageable age still dares to engage in such filthy deeds.
She deserves to be betrothed to soone like Weng Jianrui, a scoundrel. Like mother, like daughter – both short-sighted, only seeing that Weng Jianrui holds the rank of a first-grade Marquess, yet not realizing that he receives the salary of a re fifth-rank official, and the Marquis Residence is already in shambles.
Furthermore, in this Capital City, there are many Marquesses. If you pull them out for a count, if not thirty, there would at least be twenty-five.
Fools.
At this mont, in Nanjiang
The Moon Viewing Sect
There was joy and excitent all around.
The stage was filled with singing. As the Saintess, Yun Jinnian started with a few encouraging words before ordering the feast to begin.
Originally, subordinates were to be rewarded tonight, but so people, unaware of the new Saintess of the Moon Viewing Sect, could not make it back in ti. After discussing with the five elders, it was decided to wait until everyone was present before proceeding with the recognition and reward.
What rewards?
Gold, silver, and jewels were not scarce among them, but elixirs were a rarity.
Therefore, in these past days, Elder Mu, Elder Tu, and Yun Jinnian had all been working hard at concocting dicines.
When the ti ca, these would be used to reward the deserving subordinates.
The mbers of the Moon Viewing Sect had long heard that henceforth, the Saintess would recognize and reward them every year. Word spread, and even those mbers abroad as rchants were hastening to return.
A mber of the Sect approached with a wine glass, "Saint-, Saint-, Saintess, I toast to you!"
Stamring and with a flushed face,
Yun Jinnian smiled slightly and raised her glass, "Hmm, work hard in the coming year!"
"Yes!"
Having drunk, the mber went down with joy, almost floating with happiness.
One success spurred on others; they beca lively and started coming forward to toast Yun Jinnian. In her cup was Blood Lotus Water, which ensured she would never get drunk. She turned none away, facing each one with gentleness...
