Looking at Yu Qianyun who was like a dead fish in front of her, Yu Linglong had no sympathy in her heart . If she hadnât been prepared, she would be the one framed . The daughter who caught and hid the men in the room late at night was Yu Linglong .
Although she didnât care about the fame that these ancients valued so much, she would not let people pour dirty water on her body .
Yu Qianyun thought she was incomparable, but it was a pity that he didnât expect to pursue something unaware of the danger behind her, and the person who wanted to destroy the reputation of others now finally tasted the bitter fruit she planted .
Yu Linglong was not a merciful person . If you arranged a man for her, then she would arrange a few more for you, so that you can die at once .
I framed you, what can you do? Are only you allowed to frame people and others are not allowed to frame you?
Yu Qianyun stared at Yu Linglong fiercely, her petite body trembling uncontrollably, like an autumn leaf, about to be blown away by the wind in a blink of an eye .
Why, why did things become like this? How could everything she planned so carefully suddenly change?
By now, she still couldnât believe what had happened . The person whose reputation was damaged should be Yu Linglong . How could it become herself?
It was irreconcilable . Why can Yu Linglong easily get the best things in the world? Why can she only get the fish on the cutting board, and let others butcher them, and let others decide her own destiny?
Yu Qianyun didnât know where her strength came from, but she suddenly raised her head and looked at Yu Linglongâs face full of hatred: âYu Linglong, you framed me! You, you canât die! If the old lady was still here, she would definitely let me be in chargeââ
Her answer was a slap in the face .
Yu Qianyunâs beaten face turned to the side . Her white cheeks suddenly became red and swollen, and what she wanted to say was instantly interrupted .
Yu Linglong narrowed her beautiful eyes and said coldly: âYou still have the face to mention the old lady? Do you think you are worthy of the old lady?â
If Lady Yu saw Yu Qianyunâs shameless appearance at this moment, she would be angry on the spot .
Yu Qianyun slowly raised her eyes and looked at Yu Linglong bitterly, with a trace of blood on the corner of her mouth, adding a bit of hideousness to her face .
She stretched out her hand and gently stroked her beaten cheek, with a twisted sneer on her face: âAm I sorry? What can I be sorry for? You sent me to the countryside when I was a child . Who asked me about my fate? I slandered you again . So what if I slander you? This is what I deserve, and what you owe me!â
She was also an upright young lady in the Yu house . Why should she grow up in the country? Why should she look after other people forever? Yu Linglong had it, and she should have it too! If others didnât give it to her, she would fight, rob, and steal what should belong to her . Was this wrong!?
Seeing Yu Qianyunâs hysterical appearance, Yu Linglong slowly shook her head: âNo one owes you anything, you are too greedy . â
Thatâs right, Yu Qianyun was indeed sent to the countryside when she was a child . She didnât grow up in the Yu house like other young ladies . Perhaps she did endure a lot of hardships in the country, but these cannot be reasons for her to frame others .
Compared to many people, Yu Qianyunâs fate was not too miserable . At least she had food, clothing, and a place to live . At least she can grow up safely, and at least she was with Lady Yu when she was dying .
However, she refused to be content . When she was in the country, she wanted to return to the Yu Mansion . When she returned to the Yu Mansion, she wanted the power to control her family . Now she even wanted to get rid of Yu Linglong and dominate her family property .
The human heart is never satisfied .
Yu Linglong didnât care about the small family property of the Yu house . If Yu Qianyun wanted it, she could give it to her without caring, but Yu Qianyun must use this method to deliberately frame others, but it hurt herself .
Some people are like this . You be generous to them, but they refuse to believe your kindness, they have to grab it to rest assured .
Her obsession was so deep that it finally ruined her completely .
Hearing Yu Linglongâs words, Yu Qianyunâs face showed a miserable wry smile: âGreedy? Yu Linglong, you are a princess, how can you understand my situation? You have everything, but I donât have anything . I want to live well, and I can only rely on myself . You can say that I am unscrupulous, you can say that I am wolf-hearted, but you donât understand that if I donât do this, then I will never have it in my life . â
If Yu Linglong married out with a generous dowry, what would she do? Without her parents and no dowry, how could she survive as a single woman?
Yu Linglong looked at Yu Qianyunâs face but still did not say what she wanted to say .
She was not greedy for those dowries, but would Yu Qianyun believe it when she said this?
The matter had reached this point, and it was of no use .
If Yu Qianyun did something wrong, she should be punished . She was Yu Linglong and she would not let go of someone who wanted to harm her .
A cold smile appeared on her pretty face, and Yu Linglong whispered: âDonât worry . Before I get married, I will arrange a good marriage for you, so that you will be safe and have food and clothing for the rest of your life . â
Yu Qianyun raised her head in disbelief . When she saw Yu Linglongâs cold face, there was a bitter chill in her heart .
...
Yu Linglong did what she said, and after the Lantern Festival, Yu Qianyunâs marriage was set .
After learning this news, Yu Qianyun, who had been thinking behind closed doors in the room, she almost fainted .
How could it be possible that Yu Linglong wanted to marry her to a butcher who sells meat!?
She was a young lady, and no matter what status her husband had, she could not be reduced to the point of marrying a butcher!
This is what Yu Linglong said . Did she want to find a good marriage for her?
Yu Qianyunâs maid came back from the countryside with her, and when everyone in the Yu house turned on Yu Qianyun, this maid still served Yu Qianyun loyally .
It was this maid who brought this terrible news to Yu Qianyun .
As the maid spoke, she couldnât help wiping her tears: â...I heard that the butcher is in his forties . Miss, what can I do?â
Yu Qianyunâs face was pale, and she kept shaking her head and muttering to herself: âNo...impossible . Iâm going to find her . Why should she abuse me like this!â
The maid stubbornly held Yu Qianyun, crying and persuading: âMiss, wake up . The Fourth Lady is in charge of the affairs in the mansion, what use is it for you to find her? Itâs..."
After swallowing the rest of her words, the maid said in tears: âMiss, you should think of a way! The maid has heard that you will be married after the first month!â
Yu Qianyun sat down on the couch with despair on her face: âWhat, what can I do...â
Now that she had been rebellious, what else could she do!?
Through scheming and conspiracy, she had relied on plans to obtain so many benefits for herself, but at this moment she couldnât even think of a way . Only now did she know that even if she could calculate again, what was the use? When meeting a real strong person, her cleverness was simply not able to withstand a blow .
The master and servant were crying, and a sneering voice suddenly came from outside the door: âOh, Fifth Lady, why canât you wait? Isnât the day set? After more than ten days, you will get what you wished for!â
A woman walked in without paying any respects . She put the baggage in her hands on the table heavily, glanced at Yu Qianyun contemptuously, and said, âHey, this is the dowry given by the Fourth Lady to the Fifth Lady . â
Yu Qianyunâs maid wiped her eyes, stood up, and said, âWhose woman are you? How dare you talk to our lady like this? You are not afraid of our ladyââ
Before the words were finished, the woman interrupted the maidâs words: âWhat is this, are you still taking the ladyâs money with us? Donât curse your luck!â
It was natural for people to step on lower people, not to mention that Yu Qianyunâs identity had already plummeted now . What future can a lady with a ruined reputation have? Whatâs more, now that her marriage was settled to a butcher, in the future, her identity would not even be as good as the maids in the Yu house .
The maid blushed as she said, âDonât look down on her! Maybe in a few days, the Fourth Lady will be angry, and our lady wonât have to marry that kind of person...â
The woman curled her lips and said, âYou guys, stop dreaming! With the reputation of the Fifth Lady, itâs good to be able to marry a butcher! You havenât heard what the outsiders sayââ
Seeing Yu Qianyunâs pale face, the woman couldnât help but snap: âWhat a shame!â
The woman obviously didnât want to stay here for a while . After speaking, she turned and walked out .
Yu Qianyun didnât say a word .
She just sat there blankly, as if she hadnât heard her womanâs words at all, as if everything happening around her had nothing to do with her .
On the side, the maid kept crying: âMiss, donât take it to your heart . The lady speaks vulgarly and wants to stain your ears...â
Yu Qianyun lowered her head and slowly opened the baggage that the woman had thrown on the table .
She wanted to see the dowry Yu Linglong sent her .
A bright red dress was lying in front of her eyes, with the blood-like red, almost stabbing her eyes .
Her slender fingers danced across the clothes . These were inferior fabrics with rough embroidery, and you could see that they were cheap goods at a glance .
It was so ironic . She tried her best to obtain all the wealth of the Yu Mansion, but in the end, all she got was a rough wedding dress .
She had fantasized about the scenery when she was married countless times, but she did not expect that the reality was so cruel .
For a moment, she wanted to pick up her clothes and rush to Pinlan Garden to ask Yu Linglong to let her go, but she naturally restrained this crazy idea .
She was not a fool . She knew better than anyone that since Yu Linglong had made a decision, there was no room for maneuver .
If youâre looking for someone to blame, you can only blame yourself . You have to pay your life as a price for taking a wrong step .
Her little hands could not stop shaking . She lowered her head abruptly and buried her pale face deeply into the wedding dress .
If she could go back, would she choose to frame Yu Linglong?
This question may never have an answer .
...
In a few days, Yu Linglong will get married .
Yu Qianyun was like this . After Yu Linglong got married, there would be no mistresses in the Yu house .
Although she had no affection for the Yu house, Yu Linglong still had to settle the affairs of the Yu house in order to start her new life without worry .
According to Shi Huiruâs suggestion, she asked Xuan Cao and Lingâer to select some reliable servants in the Yu house, including a housekeeper, butler, maid, cook, servants, etc . to take them to the Xu Palace .
She took the furniture, decorations, antiques, calligraphy, painting, etc . , she liked and sold the others . Yu Linglong already had some plans for her future life, and these plans needed to be realized by silver .
The remaining farms, shops, etc . were all changed to their own names . Although there werenât many, they were still a small industry .
For Jingshan Hallâs things, she didnât move them, and they were all sealed up .
She didnât know if this was considered a memorial . For Lady Yu, her emotions were a bit complicated . Although their time together was very short, Lady Yuâs hearty, generous, and sincere love for her, in this cold In the Yu house, was her only warm memory .
She didnât intend to sell the large house, but she let her servants guard it as a way out for herself .
She doesnât completely trust Lord Xu . If one day she couldnât be Princess Xu, she might be able to return to the Yu house to live .
Everything was arranged . Yu Linglong asked the butler to dismiss those who didnât need to stay, and within a few days, the huge Yu house became an empty house .
On this day, the sun was fine . Yu Linglong was busy these days and was finally able to relax, so she took Lingâer for a walk in the garden .
Familiar scenes everywhere always reminded her of so many memories . Although many of them are unpleasant, now that they were really leaving, Yu Linglong did not have a feeling of relief in her heart, but she was instead a little sad .
When passing by Jingshan Hall, looking at the white seal, Yu Linglong suddenly remembered Lady Yuâs words to her on her deathbed .
She was accustomed to her own strength and hardness and had never felt that she had done anything wrong, but there were some things that may be solved in other ways .
Thinking of this, she laughed to herself . She had become scheming unknowingly after living in ancient times for a long time .
With snow under her feet, Yu Linglong walked forward in silence .
The garden in the winter was deserted, and the servants of the Yu Mansion had been dismissed . It seemed even more empty when there was no one .
In this empty garden, a very uncoordinated figure suddenly appeared .
Yu Linglong couldnât help showing a strange expression on her face as she looked at the person coming by .
The woman walked up to her, bowed respectfully, and said, âGood morning, Fourth Lady . â
Yu Linglong narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at her unceremoniously, and said in a low voice, âWhy are you still here?â
