Chapter 942 Madam Di’s Final Resort
“You work here as a second-class servant girl?” Qin Yuru asked with a ridiculing smile, which made her feel pain on her face.
“Yes, I do… I am a second-class servant girl now…” Qing Xue lowered her head even more.
“Co with . Mother will take you as her servant girl if she likes you!” said Qin Yuru.
“No, I can’t. Madam Shui and Old Madam won’t allow !” Qing Xue panicked. She took a step back and shook her head.
Speaking of Shui Ruolan and Old Madam Qin, Qin Yuru beca angry and hateful. But she couldn’t do anything to them. Now she wasn’t powerful enough.
Qin Yuru gritted her teeth to suppress the anger in her heart. As a married-out woman, she had no right to cut into the affairs of Qin’s Mansion. At this ti, she shouldn’t be angry with Shui Ruolan for a servant girl. She even had to pretend to be intimate with Shui Ruolan to please her father. If she caused one more trouble again, she would not be allowed to co ho, just as her father had warned her before.
He would pretend that he had never had such a daughter like her!
“I will ntion you to Madam Shui at a proper ti!” Qin Yuru waved her hand impatiently.
“Thank you! Thank you, First Miss!” Qing Xue answered with a grateful face. She hurriedly stepped aside and made way for Qin Yuru.
Qin Yuru and i Xue left for Yulan Pavilion, where Madam Di lived. After they left, Qing Xue raised her head and looked in the direction of Qin Yuru.
“First Miss made big trouble a few days ago! The day after the General brought her back from Duke Yong’s Mansion, Countess Yong and the heir of Duke Yong ca and managed to persuade First Miss to go back to Duke Yong’s Mansion. But bad news ca the next day. The heir of Duke Yong lost his title because of First Miss!
“What does she intend to do now?”
After thinking for a while, Qing Xue turned around and went to the inner court. She had to tell Madam Shui that First Miss ca back through the back door. Madam Shui might not know about it.
Qin Yuru rushed to Yulan Pavilion. When she arrived there, she violently pushed the door, only to find that an old maid was cleaning the floor in the empty courtyard. The old maid was shocked by Qin Yuru’s ssy appearance and didn’t recognize her at once. She just stared at Qin Yuru, who was with disheveled hair and a dirty face, and stamred, “Who… who are you…?”
“Get off! First Miss cos back!” i Xue stepped forward to push the old maid away and said sharply.
Qin Yuru ignored them and went into the main room, in which there was a sour sll that almost made her vomit.
There was an inferior servant girl in the main room. Hearing Qin Yuru’s voice, she turned around. She recognized Qin Yuru, but she was also stunned by Qin Yuru’s current image.
“Get out!” Qin Yuru scolded.
The servant girl dared not say anything but left the room. She t i Xue at the door and bowed to her. As an inferior servant girl, she by no ans dared to offend a principal maid like i Xue.
“Stay far away. First Miss and Madam are about to discuss sothing!” i Xue waved her hand as if she were chasing away a fly and ordered the servant girl to leave.
The servant girl looked at i Xue and then at the old maid who had been driven out. She sensibly retreated to the door of the courtyard and stood outside with the old maid.
Qin Yuru walked into the inner room.
Madam Di was lying on the bed in the inner room. She was skinny and had few strands of withered hair on her head. There was no trace of beauty on her face. She looked scary, with blue veins bulging on her hands. People who didn’t know her would think that she was in her seventies or eighties!
“Yuru… Yuru…” Madam Di stamred on catching sight of Qin Yuru.
She got her throat hurt three years ago and didn’t receive good treatnt. So she couldn’t speak fluently. Once she spoke hard, she would show the horizontal muscles and bones on her neck.
“Mother, I… I can’t live anymore! They want divorced…” Qin Yuru rushed to the bed and cried aloud, with disgust in her covered eyes. If she had a choice, she wouldn’t have co back to beg Madam Di for help.
Madam Di’s haggard face made her very uncomfortable because it reminded her of what had happened before. Qin Yuru never thought that Madam Di ended up like this because of her. Instead, she believed she had helped Madam Di deal with Shao Wanru. But things didn’t go on as they thought. She didn’t an to see such a result.
Madam Di looked like a ghost now. Qin Yuru didn’t want to see Madam Di again if she could.
“How, how dare they…” Madam Di said in a hoarse voice and reached out to hold Qin Yuru’s hand, though she was unable to move freely.
Qin Yuru tried hard to suppress her disgust and grabbed Madam Di’s hand. “Mother, what should I do? What should I do now? Father said he wouldn’t help before!”
Qin Yuru burst into tears.
She hated everyone here. She used to live a good life in Jiangzhou, but now she fell into such a predicant here. It was all those people’s fault!
Shao Wanru, Shui Ruolan, Old Madam Qin, Qi Rongzhi and Shao Yanru…
Of course, Duke Yong’s Mansion should take most of the bla. It was they who took everything she had and made her feel guilty about her biological mother.
“Qin… Qin Huaiyong… You bastard!” Madam Di cursed angrily and kicked the quilt hard. It seed that she wasn’t beyond redy though she was in poor health.
“Mother, I… I would rather die than get divorced! Anyway, I have no children. I have nothing!” Qin Yuru cried even more sadly, “Mother, I have been feeling guilty for hurting you that day. Now… now I will pay you back. I will hang myself here later to show my last love for you!”
Qin Yuru choked with sobs, looking even more desperate now with her ssy appearance. No matter how much resentnt Madam Di had, she couldn’t bear to see her own daughter die in front of her.
She tightened her grip on Qin Yuru’s hand for fear that Qin Yuru would really commit suicide. Madam Di tried her best to persuade her daughter. “Yuru… they… they won’t dare to get you divorced!”
“Mother! How co they won’t dare to? Aunt announced their decision in front of , Grandmother showed no intention to support , and Di Yan even beat and made like this! Mother, how can I continue to live such a life?” Qin Yuru cried.
“How, how dare they…” Madam Di was so angry that she beca out of breath and glassy-eyed. Qin Yuru hurriedly reached out to pat her mother on the back a few tis to help the latter relax.
“Di Yan… hit you…?” Madam Di asked in a hoarse voice and gritted her teeth with strange coldness in her eyes.
“Yes, Mother. He hit ! But Grandma and other people just watched. None of them spoke a word for . Aunt said it was a losing proposition to marry . Mother, if it weren’t for them, how would I have broken off the engagent with Qi Tianyu?”
Qin Yuru had been regretting her decision all the ti in the past three years. How she wished that it could be retracted! Di Yan could not be compared with Qi Tianyu at all.
During the past three years, Qin Yuru used to drop a hint to Qi Tianyu that she wanted to et him in secret several tis. However, as a well-educated man, Qi Tianyu didn’t accept her invitation and repeatedly suggested Qin Yuru be a good wife of the Di family and not have any unethical ideas.
But the more he said so, the more tenacious Qin Yuru beca. “I should have married Qi Tianyu! Why did Di Yan cut in us and force to break off the engagent with Qi Tianyu with the help of his family background? And after I married into Duke Xing’s Mansion, they don’t treat well!”
In Qin Yuru’s heart, there was a reason for everything she did. It was others who made her fall into such a dilemma.
“Your, your grandma…” Madam Di tried hard to express herself.
“Grandma stands on Di Yan’s side. Mother, I’d better die. No one cares about ! They don’t care about whether I live a good life or not!” Qin Yuru cried so hard that her whole body trembled.
“She… she promised that she would take… take care of you!” Madam Di was so anxious that her face and neck turned red. She held Qin Yuru tightly.
“Mother, everything is different now. Since you have been ill like this, I am afraid that I have no people to rely on anymore. Grandma dotes on Di Yan more. Mother, do you know that Aunt made a false account early to embezzle our dowries? When you just ca back to the capital, she told you that your shop had been at a loss for more than ten years and asked us for money to make up for the loss! Do you still rember that?”
Qin Yuru beca angrier and angrier. “Duke Yong’s Mansion should take all the bla for the dowry event. Why should I have to take it for them? I shouldn’t have publicized it! Otherwise, Duke Yong’s Mansion couldn’t have put all the bla on ! As for Di Yan, he lost his title as the heir of Duke Yong because of his own incompetence, which had nothing to do with !
“Why was I punished for it?”
The last ti Qin Yuru ca back ho, she didn’t visit Madam Di, so Madam Di knew nothing about it. After hearing Qin Yuru’s detailed statent, Madam Di turned livid with rage. “I knew it earlier that Madam Shi, that evil woman, would make use of my shop!” Actually, Madam Di suspected when she was told that her shop was at a huge loss because her mother told her that the shop had always made fortunes when she married Qin Huanyong.
“It turned out that Madam Shi played a trick!”
“What a wicked woman! What a wicked woman!” Madam Di gnashed her teeth in anger. She would have killed Madam Shi if the latter were in front of her. “I would not have fallen into such a predicant if I hadn’t lacked money at that ti! Madam Shi had done a lot of harm to !”
“Mother, they not only refuse to admit their mistakes but also pin all the bla on us. Mother, Mother! They also said that we brought trouble to ourselves. I don’t have a way out of it, Mother! Father doesn’t help … Duke Yong’s Mansion doesn’t accept ! I… I…”
Qin Yuru beca sadder and sadder. She looked at Madam Di with despair in her eyes, as if she were going to kill herself to find a way out the next mont.
“Well! How wicked they are! I will not be benevolent to them anymore!” Madam Di cursed. She let go of Qin Yuru’s hand, took out sothing from under her pillow, handed it to Qin Yuru, and said, “Go to find him. He… he will help you!”
