Chapter 2671: Qingqing Extra: Chapter 2: Seeking Justice
It was this scene that Yang Chuxia saw when she entered through the guest courtyard door.
"This is utterly outrageous!" Yang Chuxia’s eyes swept over Ye Rongqing and finally fixed on the woman behind him.
"Mother!"
Yang Chuxia bypassed him and entered the room, "All of you, get in here!"
Ye Rongqing, holding his clothes, entered the room. He hadn’t quite processed what was happening, only moving on instinct.
"What are you standing there for? Go and put your clothes on properly!"
"Yes!" Ye Rongqing answered listlessly and left.
Yang Chuxia glanced again at the woman standing there, her eyes flashing with disgust. "You should also tidy yourself up. What does a young lady like you look like right now?"
However, this girl did not move, as she had her own thoughts.
In her mind, she thought, what if I tidy myself up and then you turn your back on me?
So, with a quick turn of her eyes, she immediately knelt in front of Yang Chuxia, "Madam, I’m begging you to give me justice!"
"Madam, this wasn’t my intention!"
Only then did Yang Chuxia look carefully at the person before her: willow eyebrows, large apricot eyes, a slightly flat nose, yet it did not affect her beauty—a pretty face, though lacking in presence.
"Who are you?"
This girl looked unfamiliar, making her wonder if she was perhaps brought by relatives attending the wedding feast?
"Madam, this is Xiaoyu, responsible for cleaning the guest courtyard."
"So she’s one of our girls," Yang Chuxia said, her gaze growing sharper, "Seems you think too highly of your looks and feel that just being a cleaning girl is beneath you."
"Madam, I wouldn’t dare," Xiaoyu lowered her head and said, "Madam, please give me justice."
"You’re crying and shouting for justice from me—for what?" Yang Chuxia snorted coldly, "You say you wouldn’t dare? Look at you—what position do you think you’re in that even a maid no longer calls you so?"
Xiaoyu choked up, "The maid... the maid, is already the Third Young Master’s woman. Madam, it wasn’t on purpose, truly, it’s the Third Young Master drank too much, and the maid couldn’t break free."
"Heh..." Yang Chuxia laughed lightly and glanced at Ming Lan, who then went to the inner room. Upon seeing the bloodstain, she nodded to Yang Chuxia when she came out.
Yang Chuxia closed her eyes for a moment.
In her mind, she thought, could it really be that her son is fated to be tangled up with such a person forever? During her years in the capital, she’s heard plenty of such stories, which is why her gut feeling leaned towards this being a maid trying to climb into bed. But Ye Zi’an had already set family rules for the Ye Family before the men came of age: no concubines for the Ye Family men.
If Rongqing indeed had relations with this person, then Rongqing must either marry this maid or break the family rules.
But either option would not be favorable for the Ye Family.
A maid capable of climbing into the master’s bed would surely have uncommon schemes. If she were truly brought into the family, the Ye Family harem would be in chaos.
After thinking it over, she realized there were other solutions! She truly was addled with anger!
"Rongqing, what do you say?"
Ye Rongqing scratched his head, rubbed his forehead, and gradually, many things broke into his mind—her fairness, her long black hair, their entwined bodies, and that unspeakable pleasure. He had thought it was a dream! But it turned out to be real!
Thinking of this, his complexion turned pallid, "Mother, I..."
"Third Young Master, last night it was you who pulled me, not me asking for this," Xiaoyu cried when he didn’t respond, "Even though I’m just a maid, of humble status, I’m still a chaste young lady."
