Chapter 527: Chapter 527: Harm others, end up harming oneself_1

“Why not?” Madam Yun gazed at the Bai family’s Madam, puzzled.

“There… The place has a leak. It needs tidying up. Let’s take the concubine to her former residence before her departure,” the Bai family’s Madam explained.

“I had people clean up the Yifang Pavilion just this morning. There is no leak. The beddings inside are newly laid, all prepared for your rest today,” Madam Yun replied.

“No! It simply can’t be done!” The Bai Family’s Madam firmly refused.

“Why not?” Suspicion crept into Madam Yun’s eyes. The Bai Family’s Madam’s behavior seemed rather odd today, as if she were hiding something.

The Bai family’s Madam turned red, unable to come up with an explanation.

Wei Ruo walked over leisurely, “The concubine of King Yu is already in this state, a little leak won’t matter. Let’s swiftly take her over and bring in the doctor. As for the others, let them stay here. You are not doctors and can’t be of any help. The concubine of King Yu is slightly feverish and can barely breathe. Having too many people around might exacerbate her condition.”

Following Wei Ruo’s command, without waiting for the Bai family’s Madam to speak, with a stern glance, she turned to the Wei family’s maid and ordered, “Well, aren’t you going to hurry?”

Madam Yun echoed, “Didn’t you hear what Queen Rui said?”

The maids quickly followed the instructions.

No matter how the Bai family’s Madam fussed or protested in the garden, the person with the highest status and authority was still Wei Ruo, followed by Madam Yun. She was the wife of a fifth-rank general of the martial virtue. The Bai family’s Madam held no official title, not even a Madam.

All servants were clear about who they should listen to.

The Bai Family’s Madam watched helplessly as the maids aided Wei Qingwan to Yifang Pavilion, sweat streaming down her forehead.

Meanwhile, Wei Ruo had every reaction of hers under her gaze.

After some contemplation, Bai’s Madam urgently set off for Yifang Pavilion.

Initially thrown into a panic by unexpected changes, she recovered her senses and rushed to prevent what she had planned from happening.

It was then that Wei Ruo halted her, “The concubine of King Yu is unwell. It would be best to inform King Yu Residence about the situation. Aunt, would you mind sending someone?”

“I have things to do. Find someone else!” Exclaiming fretfully, the Bai family’s Madam left for Yifang Pavilion to shoo away the people she had arranged.

Otherwise, a disaster would befall!

Xiumei stepped forward blocking Bai’s path, “Second Madam, our Queen is speaking to you.”

Desperation written across her face, the Bai family’s Madam said, “The Concubine of King Yu is already in this state. I must go see her. Don’t stop me. Isn’t Queen Rui concerned about the Concubine of King Yu?”

“I think neither of us can help her at this point. Moreover, I suspect the concubine’s ailment today has something to do with my Aunt,” Wei Ruo responded.

“What could be my part in it? Am I capable of harming her?” A sense of guilt flashed across the Bai family’s Madam’s eyes.

“Is that so?” Wei Ruo raised her eyebrows.

Wei Ruo was in no hurry. As long as she did not let her go, the Bai family’s Madam would find it impossible to escape.

While the Bai family’s Madam wanted to flee by force, Xiumei’s presence deterred her, leaving no chance to triumph over sheer strength.

Madam Yun also noted the unusual behavior of the Bai family’s Madam, “What exactly have you done to Wanwan?”

“I did nothing. Only worrying about Wanwan’s condition! As her mother, are you not worried about her condition? Don’t you want to go and personally check up on her?” said the Bai family’s Madam, quickly denying the allegations.

Her words caused Madam Yun to waver, turning to Wei Ruo she said, “Regardless of anything else, let’s go and see Wanwan. Her health is the most important thing.”

Madam Yun, although recently annoyed with Wei Qingwan, genuinely cared about her when something went wrong.

“No rush. Haven’t we already moved her over to rest? Not to mention, we’ve already sent for the doctor. We can’t help much since we neither know how to feel the pulse nor how to cure her,” Wei Ruo spoke calmly.

Frustrated and desperate, the Bai family’s Madam snapped at Wei Ruo, “You may not care about the concubine of King Yu, but why are you stopping us from doing so? What kind of heartless sister are you?”

“Rest assured, I will bring in the best doctor from the Capital City to diagnose her illness,” Wei Ruo reassured.

The Bai family’s Madam was losing her mind. During the argument with Wei Ruo, nobody knew what had transpired in Yifang Pavilion.

Rather than letting her through, Wei Ruo comfortably sat back down, leisurely sipping her tea.

Returning from her brief departure, Lin Fang noted the disorder and helped Wei Ruo control the Bai family’s Madam and her entourage, making it impossible for them to escape.

The Bai family’s Madam had an extreme fit of anxiety, screaming, “Let me go! If I don’t get there soon, there will be trouble!”

The Bai family’s Madam’s words confirmed Madam Yun’s suspicions, “What do you mean by ‘there will be trouble’?”

“I… I… If you don’t want the concubine of King Yu to get into trouble, go over there immediately!” The Bai family’s Madam was terrified.

“Better explain yourself now!” Madam Yun shouted in anger.

“She… she was drugged. There’s a man in Yifang Pavilion. If we don’t go now, her chastity will be in danger!” With no choice left, the Bai family’s Madam revealed the truth.

Stunned by this, Madam Yun immediately rushed towards Yifang Pavilion.

Taking advantage of the situation, the fearful Bai family’s Madam pushed Xiumei away and sprinted after Madam Yun.

This time, Wei Ruo didn’t stop her attendants from intercepting, instead, she rose from her chair and followed Madam Yun and the Bai family’s Madam.

Everyone entered the Yifang Pavilion and made their way straight to the main room.

The Bai family’s Madam practically ran to the room.

She forcefully opened the door, rushed in, and shoved aside the man who was about to violate Wei Qingwan, saving her from assault.

Wei Qingwan, who had collapsed on the couch, had flushed cheeks, and the belt of her robe had been undone and thrown aside. Her outer robe had been partially taken off.

The man, who had been shoved away, looked at the Bai family’s Madam in confusion, seemingly puzzled by the turn of events.

Following closely behind, Wei Ruo and Madam Yun walked in to witness the appalling scene.

At that moment, Madam Yun visibly paled.

Fearfully, the Bai family’s Madam grabbed the clothes from the floor and tried to cover Wei Qingwan.

However, by that time, everyone who had entered the room, including Wei Ruo herself, had already seen everything. freewebnσvel.cøm

Even if she wasn’t fully undressed, even if things hadn’t gone that far, the mere scenario was enough to ruin Wei Qingwan’s reputation.

Madam Yun recovered from her initial shock and immediately commanded, “Seal the courtyard! Anyone who has been in or out of Yifang Pavilion today must stay here. No one is to leave without my permission!”

Following that, Madam Yun ordered Cuiping, “Whether they signed a life or death contract, none can be let go!”

“As you command,” Aware of the gravity, Cuiping accompanied by two guards, barricaded the entrance of Yifang Pavilion.

Stand in the doorway, Wei Ruo surveyed the chaotic scene and slowly said, “Isn’t it time for Aunt to explain?”
