Chapter 190 - 190 You Vicious Woman!

190 You Vicious Woman!

Madam Jiang seemed to have suffered a huge insult and said with red eyes and a trembling voice.

“I know you’ve never liked me. After all, I’m not your biological mother. I’m just a stepmother. I can understand that. But I’m still the wife your father officially married. You can dislike me, but you can’t disrespect me, and you can’t collude with outsiders to frame me!”

With that, she covered her eyes with a handkerchief and sobbed softly.

Yu Kangtai could not bear it and hurriedly comforted her to stop crying.

Yu Pingping and Yu Sheng were caught in the middle.

They wanted to believe their mother, but what their sister had just said made sense.

Yu Niaoniao did not watch Mrs. Jiang’s performance.

She asked Chun Xing, who was lying on the ground.

“What kind of rumors did your Madam ask you to spread?”

At this moment, Chun Xing hated Mrs. Jiang to the core and told her everything without hesitation.

“She said we were to spread that you were tyrannical and unfilial at home, forcing her to hang herself.”

Yu Niaoniao was enlightened. “I see!”

Chun Xing felt that it was not enough and added.

“You might not know this, but Madam asked me to spread rumors about you and Duke Lang. You clearly just accidentally picked up Duke Lang’s jade pendant. However, Madam asked me to tell the outside world that he gave the jade pendant to you as a love token and that the two of you are engaged for life.”

Yu Niaoniao was curious. “Why didn’t you say that I stole Duke Lang’s jade pendant?”

Chun Xing explained, “Stealing will be sentenced. At that time, the Justice Department will file a case and investigate. This matter will be exposed very quickly. However, if it’s just spreading rumors about you guys, it won’t be a crime. The Justice Department can’t do anything about it.”

Yu Niaoniao smiled. “You guys are quite sneaky.”

Chun Xing didn’t know how to respond. She looked embarrassed.

Yu Niaoniao said, “What else do you know?”

Chun Xing’s eyes darted around.

“If I tell you everything, can you ask Your Highness to spare my life?”

Meng Xizhou spun the dagger in his hand and sneered. “Do you think you have the right to bargain?”

The little scheme in Chun Xing’s heart immediately dissipated. She did not dare make any more requests and confessed honestly.

“A strange man came to me and asked me to deliver a letter to Madam. I did as he said because I was greedy for the wealth he gave me.”

Yu Kangtai, who was gently comforting his wife, was speechless.

Suddenly, he felt a little cuckolded.

His expression immediately turned ugly, and he retracted his hand from Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang hurriedly grabbed his hand. “I’m loyal to you and have never done anything wrong to you. Master, you have to believe me!”

“Well, you’re my wife. I’m sure I believe you.”

That was true, but Yu Kangtai’s tone was clearly not as gentle as before.

Mrs. Jiang was completely flustered.

What would she do if even Yu Kangtai did not believe her?

Chun Xing continued her narrative.

“Madam and that man arranged to meet at a small teahouse.

After they entered the private room on the second floor, they sent me out.

I don’t know what they said or did, either.

Anyway, when Madam comes out, she’s smiling and looking happy.”

Yu Niaoniao could not help but admire this maidservant’s speaking skills.

She had not said an explicit word, but she could describe the matter in a way that made one’s imagination run wild.

As expected, Yu Kangtai’s face immediately turned even greener.

Madam Jiang tried to explain. “Master, believe me. I didn’t do anything. Chun Xing is talking nonsense!”

Chun Xing immediately said, “I still remember the name and location of that teahouse. If you don’t believe me, I can take you to that teahouse and ask the staff and shopkeeper in the teahouse. They can testify for me!”

Madam Jiang’s face turned pale and she could no longer speak. Seeing this, what else did Yu Kangtai not understand?

He shook off Mrs. Jiang’s hand and pointed at her as he scolded, “I’ve treated you well all these years, and this is how you repay me? If I had known you were so fickle, I shouldn’t have married you in the first place!”

At his harsh words, Mrs. Jiang was so anxious that tears fell. “It’s not what you think.”

Yu Kangtai pressed, “Then what do you think it is?”

Mrs. Jiang hesitated, not knowing how to explain.

Yu Kangtai said fiercely.

“If you don’t explain things clearly today, you won’t be my wife in the future!”

Mrs. Jiang trembled, her eyes filled with tears. “Are you going to divorce me?”

If it were any other day, Yu Kangtai would definitely soften when he saw his wife crying so pitifully.

But things were different now.

He could discuss everything else, but he could not tolerate this.

“I’m going to ask you one last time. What exactly is your relationship with that man?”

Mrs. Jiang’s tears kept flowing. Her family had already collapsed. If Yu Kangtai abandoned her, she would really have nowhere to go. She could not be divorced!

“I didn’t know that man before. He said that he had a grudge against Yu Niaoniao.

He could help me deal with Yu Niaoniao so that she would not dare to go against me in the future. At that time, I was also obsessed and believed his nonsense.

He asked me to make some noise on the night of the seventh day of the New Year to attract the attention of the entire family so that he could take the opportunity to sneak into the Yu Residence and kidnap Yu Niaoniao.”

Hearing her say this, how could Yu Niaoniao not understand? The man who looked for Mrs. Jiang should be Che Xuekun. The two of them colluded to kidnap her.

Yu Niaoniao sighed. “I knew it. How could it be such a coincidence? Che Xuekun happened to appear when something happened at home. So it was premeditated.”

Yu Pingping’s eyes widened in disbelief.

She looked at her mother as if she was looking at a stranger.

“So you were pretending to kill yourself. You were lying to us!”

Yu Sheng was also shocked. He felt like his world had collapsed.

He had never expected his mother to be such an unscrupulous woman.

Yu Kangtai was furious. He pointed at Mrs. Jiang and cursed.

“Y-you vicious woman!”

No matter how dissatisfied he was with her, she was still his biological daughter. How could he tolerate someone plotting against his daughter? He raised his hand and slapped Mrs. Jiang’s face causing it to swell up.

However, she could not care less about the pain. She grabbed Yu Kangtai’s hand tightly and begged.

“Master, I know I was wrong. I won’t do it again. Please forgive me this time!”

She saw that Yu Kangtai was unmoved and immediately turned to take her son and daughter’s hands.

“Sheng, Pingping, quickly help Mommy!”

Yu Sheng and Yu Pingping were at a loss.

This situation was something they had not expected. With their little life experience, they did not know how to deal with it at all.

Xiao Juan, who had been watching coldly, finally spoke.

“Madam Jiang colluded with a wanted criminal to murder the Princess. Men, take her down.”
