The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2675: Chapter 6: Mu Shuang Sneaks Away

"Madam... please have mercy, madam..."

"Madam, this servant was wrong. I beg you not to expel me from the residence..."

But no matter how they pleaded, they couldn’t move the infuriated Yang Chuxia. The people were still taken away.

Pointing at the two maids serving tea and water, she asked again, "Where were you two yesterday?" How could a cleaning maid have entered the room?

"Madam, yesterday this servant was always attending at the guest courtyard. Originally, only one lady came to rest for two quarters of an hour, but by the time of You Hour, a slightly tipsy miss came in and ordered me to go to the front courtyard to fetch her some hangover soup."

"This servant was ordered by that miss to go and borrow clothes from Second Mistress. When I returned, that miss had already left, and no one else came to the guest courtyard after that."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia furrowed her brows so tightly that she could catch a fly with them.

"Which family’s miss was it?"

"This servant doesn’t know."

After asking a few more cleaning maids, she found that they had either been deployed elsewhere or were not in the courtyard at the time. No one knew when Ye Rongqing appeared in the guest courtyard.

At this moment, chaos reigned in Prince An’s Mansion. Those who were not entirely diligent at yesterday’s banquet were all on edge, fearing punishment.

And at this moment, no one noticed a carriage quietly leaving the Ye Residence.

"Miss, is it really okay for us to leave like this without telling Miss Hua’en?"

"What’s wrong with it?" The woman in the carriage glanced at the maid, speaking somewhat awkwardly, "Didn’t you see the Ye Residence is in chaos right now? It’s quite inconvenient for us to stay there. Besides, since both my parents are at Marquis Chang’an’s Mansion, I naturally belong at the Mu Residence because I am a Mu after all."

"But you should at least say something. Otherwise, Miss Hua’en might have something to say about it."

"Si Ya, you’re talking too much." The woman irritably glared at the maid.

The person in the carriage was none other than Mu Shaofeng’s younger daughter, Mu Shuang. At the beginning of the year, when Ye Haoyang got married, she came to the Capital City with her parents and hadn’t returned to Funan since. Mu Shaoling had them stay to celebrate the New Year, saying they would all return to Funan after the holiday.

Afterward, when Ye Haoyang went south to fight, she frequently visited the Mu Family to keep Mu Huaen company, fearing she might be bored.

These past few days, she had been staying at the Mu Family. But yesterday, when the Ye Family held a wedding banquet, her aunt was worried about the crowd possibly disturbing Sister Hua’en, so she had her stay by Sister Hua’en’s side, and she also stayed overnight at the Ye Residence.

But who would have thought something like that would happen...

It terrified her so much she dared not stay a moment longer at the Ye Family.

Thinking about last night’s event made her blush, and she felt both afraid and regretful... She had saved him, yet that bastard repaid kindness with malice!!

If her parents found out, they might just kill her.

"Miss, what’s wrong with you?"

"Nothing."

While she wasn’t watching, Si Ya stole a few glances at her, wondering why the miss was acting so strangely. Not saying anything after coming back in the middle of the night, and now behaving so oddly.

Soon the carriage entered the Mu Residence. After disembarking and reaching the main courtyard, Commandery Princess Dongyang was talking with her mother.

Qi Yunqiao was accompanying them on the side.

"Oh, Shuangshuang, why are you back at this time?"

"Mother, Aunt, Sister-in-law." Mu Shuang said, "The Ye Residence is in a bit of chaos right now, Aunt Ye is furious and punishing the servants."

"What happened?" Commandery Princess Dongyang asked curiously, "She was supposed to have the daughter-in-law tea today, wasn’t she supposed to be happy?"

"I heard something happened in the guest courtyard, and it has to do with that Ye Rongqing."
