The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

Madam Yao put down the cup, turned to look at Master Yao and said, "One is my maid, and the other is my husband's new concubine. If I go alone, it will seem unfair. Let's go with my husband to take a look."

"Oh, okay, Madam, please go first." Young Master Yao didn't expect that he would have something to do here, and he didn't want to go, but he was a little afraid of this lady and didn't dare to refuse.

When the two men arrived, the kitchen door was surrounded by servants who came to watch the fun. There were also a few idle concubines who heard the news and rushed over to watch the fun, standing on tiptoe to watch the two people inside swearing at each other.

"You little bitch, you vixen, I told you not to seduce the master!" Hongling's neck was scratched with several red marks, her double buns were messed up, her hair hung behind her ears, and her orange clothes were stained with oil.

"You are just a maid. How are you better than me by climbing into the bed of your husband? Or are you jealous that I was also born a maid but became a concubine, while you clearly gave your body away but couldn't even get a concubine?" Yue Niang was also in a mess. There was a bleeding wound on her cheek caused by the fingernails.

However, every word she said was full of thorns, which made Hongling even angrier.

The two of them were arguing and wrestling with each other, while several concubines who were watching the fun were fiddling with their headdresses, cracking melon seeds, and winking at each other with interest, cheering for them without thinking it was a big deal.

"I think Yue Niang's face is really beautiful, please don't scratch it!"

"Oh my, be careful, Hongling is an important person around the young lady! If these two delicate hands are broken, how can she serve the young master?"

The mansion has always been dead silent, even the fights were always done secretly, there has never been such a lively scene.

This time, the concubines looked at Yue Niang with a new respect. After all, there was no one else like her who caused such a big drama as soon as she arrived!

"Stop it, Miss Hongling, Auntie! Stop it! The young mistress and the young master are here!"

"Spread out, spread out!"

As soon as the master of the house arrived, the servants were afraid of being held accountable, so they quickly withdrew and gave up their seats.

"Quiet!" The young lady said, and the rest of the concubines and servants fell silent obediently.

The two people fighting in the center of the crowd noticed that the atmosphere was not right and loosened their grip a lot, but they remained in a stalemate and refused to give in.

"You two, disperse." The young lady glanced at the two people who were entangled in one place and took control of the situation.

Yue Niang and Hong Ling looked at each other, reluctantly let go of each other's hands, and turned their backs to tidy up their messy clothes.

"No matter what the reason is, you two have disregarded the rules of this mansion. You should be punished!"

"Hongling, as a maid, you disrespected the mistress of the mansion, and you will be slapped twenty times. Madam Yue, you made trouble in public, beat the servants, and you will be fined three months' salary and copy the house rules fifty times."

"Husband, is my punishment reasonable?" Turning her head, the young lady looked at Master Yao who was daydreaming and not in the right state of mind, and asked.

"Ah, that makes sense, that makes sense. Madam, just handle it. I have official business, so I'll leave first." Young Master Yao came to his senses and agreed readily, thinking that today was the Double Ninth Festival, and there must be a new prostitute in Furong Tower. A few days ago, a few drinking buddies invited him to go with them!

After watching Master Yao leave, the young lady concealed her impatience in her eyes and turned around to continue dealing with the matter.

"The rest of you, go do your own thing!"

After dealing with the two people who were fighting, the young lady dispersed the people around her. The kitchen immediately became deserted, with only Hongling squatting on the ground being punished and Yue Niang on the side left.

"Madam..." Hongling was obviously dissatisfied with the punishment, but the housekeeper in charge of rewards and punishments had already raised her arm at the instruction of Madam Yao.

"Madam!" Although Hongling was unwilling, she could not resist the strength of the old woman and was dragged away.

Mrs. Yao just glanced at him and ignored him.

This Hong Ling was a spy planted by County Magistrate Yao next to her. Unfortunately, she was not very clear-headed and took the opportunity to push the blame onto Young Master Yao. She then completely forgot what County Magistrate Yao said and kept hanging around that man.

Master Yao has only good looks, but nothing else.

If it was for profit, it would be fine if it was just a casual affair, but why did he put himself in the middle of it? How foolish.

......But who among those who entered the Yao Mansion was not confused?

However, without Hongling, she would still have some opportunities.

Even though she did so many dirty things for County Magistrate Yao, he still doubted her "loyalty".

But Master Yao is incompetent. Although he is a villain who takes human life lightly, he becomes panic-stricken whenever he encounters something that cannot be handled by paying money to keep the mouth shut.

County Magistrate Yao still needs to use her knife.

In a flash, Yue Niang was the only one left in the open space. The young lady took a step forward, lowered her eyes to look at her, and said:

"Aunt Yue, go back."

"Are you laughing at me, Madam? Now that my face is cut, are you happy?"

Yue Niang held her injured face and struggled to get up from the stone floor, staring at the young lady with great unwillingness.

It was clearly Hongling, who was beside the lady, who had started the trouble, so why was she only fined her monthly allowance? Hongling was dragged away by two maids, and who knows whether she was slapped or not!

This young lady looked down on her from the beginning and allowed Hongling to bully her wantonly. Now that the maid had beaten her, it was probably this man who ordered it!

The other party appears in front of her with the attitude of a winner. Is he demonstrating to her?

The young lady looked at Yue Niang with a look of resentment and knew that she would not listen to anything he said. She sighed, turned around and ignored Yue Niang.

When I looked up, the night was pitch black, with no wind and no moon.

Today is Double Ninth Festival, and she still has something to do, so there is no need to waste time with Yue Niang.

Madam Yao returned to her room, took out a ball of bright yellow paper, wrapped it up in the package, put on a dark face-covering cloak, and left the house in the dark.

Taoyuan County is not very big, but to be honest, there are quite a few winding streets and alleys.

The inky figure walked into an alley, pushed open the dilapidated gate, and put down the package in the long-abandoned and overgrown yard.

A faint flame lit up a little in the dark night, and then gradually turned red.

By the light of the fire, one could still see the broken walls of the yard and the charred marks left around it.

The flames flickered, and under the reflection of the light, people could see clearly what the man was burning: paper money.

Mrs. Yao was extremely quiet. She burned the paper money in the package bit by bit, buried the ashes with soil, covered it with hay and firewood, then gathered her clothes and prepared to return.

Just at this moment, a bamboo dragonfly floated over from a distance, spinning its wings and landed at Mrs. Yao's feet.

She paused, bent down to pick it up, and found that it was made of cardboard and there seemed to be some words on it.

She silently spread out the note. With the faint light coming in from the distant alley, Mrs. Yao saw what was written on it and her pupils shrank slightly.

She suddenly raised her head and looked around, but did not see any figure passing by.

After lighting the note and completely destroying it into a puff of smoke, Mrs. Yao left, covering herself with her cloak.

[How do you know she has a grudge against Magistrate Yao?] Tiandao was eating Chongyang Cake, not understanding what he had missed.

But it doesn’t matter. With You Mu here, it doesn’t need to use its brain.

[Eyes. That day at the banquet, when Master Yao was caught doing something scandalous, Mrs. Yao had a strange look on her face.] The look she gave Master Yao was not like the look a wife should have. It was cold, as if she was looking at an object.

If it is just coldness, it can also be understood as a woman who is extremely disappointed with her husband's obsession with alcohol and sex and has given up on it.

But this Mrs. Yao was not like that. Although she concealed it very well, You Mu still saw the subtle hatred in her eyes.

Feelings are a very strange thing. You Mu is very familiar with this kind of hatred, and can easily see the direction of the other party's hatred.

Mrs. Yao's hatred went beyond Master Yao and was directed towards another person.

Then, it can only be Magistrate Yao.

You Mu sat on the eaves, watching the slender figure blend into the night.

[This Madam Yao is quite interesting. Her background is unknown. I heard that she was born as a slave. It is very rare for her to marry Master Yao as his wife. Moreover, Master Yao, who is so philandering, actually respects this lady very much.]

[Hmm...it does sound weird.] Heaven responded.

[Young Master Yao didn't even have the ability to resolve the farce that day. He was seen naked by everyone and looked very embarrassed. This kind of behavior doesn't seem like someone who will be reused by County Magistrate Yao.]

[So, it is actually Madam Yao who is helping Master Yao consolidate his position?] After finally understanding a little, Tiandao answered quickly, followed by more questions [But don’t they have a grudge? Why are you helping him?]

[Of course, she wants to use the relationship with Master Yao to get close to County Magistrate Yao and gain his trust. I guess she is looking for something, County Magistrate Yao's secret...]

In terms of blood relationship, Master Yao and Magistrate Yao are not close. At most, they are distant relatives. Yet, he manages to gain face in front of Magistrate Yao and even lives in Yao's mansion. There must be some story behind this.

In short, no matter what Madam Yao wants, it will do no harm to give it a helping hand.

[I think the Yao Mansion must be very lively, but unfortunately, I can’t see it]

Propping himself up, You Mu jumped on the roof and turned back towards his home.

[So, tell me clearly! What happened to Mrs. Yao's background?] It's really annoying to leave it half-said! It doesn't want to guess, just tell it directly!
