The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2681: Chapter 12: Too Many Yellow Sparrows—One Leaves, Another Arrives

"Sister-in-law, what should I do now?" Mu Shuang pitifully tugged at her sleeve, "My parents still don’t know. If they find out, my mother will definitely beat me to death."

Qi Yunqiao sighed. She knew Ms. Fan somewhat; she was ingrained with tradition and a rule-abiding person.

If she truly found out about this matter, she really could beat this girl to death.

"Don’t worry, since your sister-in-law came to find you, of course, I will take care of this matter for you." After pausing for a moment, Qi Yunqiao said, "Now tell me, what exactly happened that day? Weren’t you living in the courtyard next to Hua’en? How did you end up in the guest courtyard?"

"Sister-in-law, that day I..."

After Mu Shuang finished speaking, Qi Yunqiao thought deeply. It seemed someone was trying to set up her cousin, but ended up being stumbled upon by Mu Shuang.

As it turns out, after that day’s banquet, Mu Shuang had drunk a couple of glasses of wine at the table. Feeling a bit warm after leaving the table, she went to the pavilion to catch some air.

But then she felt thirsty, so she sent Si Ya to fetch her some water.

At that moment, she saw two girls supporting Ye Rongqing walking in front.

Since she had been visiting the Ye Family often these past few months, she was familiar with the Ye Family’s maids. But those two were quite unfamiliar, and judging by the adornment, one looked wealthy, clearly not a maid but a young lady.

Girls raised in large families know a thing or two about harem tricks.

Seeing this, Mu Shuang grew suspicious and followed them, then witnessed the two girls leading Ye Rongqing into the guest courtyard.

Once at the guest courtyard, Mu Shuang hid in the shadows, noticing the maids inside were being chased out.

Seeing this, Mu Shuang worried that something wasn’t right, so she entered the courtyard. At this moment, the girl dressed as a maid was standing guard outside the guest room, and undoubtedly, the young lady was inside.

At that moment, Mu Shuang didn’t know where she got the courage, grabbed a broom from nearby, and charged at the maid.

The noise brought the young lady out from the room.

Looking at her unfamiliar face, Mu Shuang thought this was the Ye Family. Without fear of them, she confronted them, "Where are you from? Such audacity, daring to scheme against Heir Ye?"

"And who are you to meddle in others’ affairs?"

Mu Shuang snorted coldly, "Second Mistress Ye is my cousin, who do you think I am?" After pausing, she added, "You’d better leave quickly, my maid will be here soon. I advise that you leave immediately. If your plan succeeds, what will come will be my maid, not mentioning if Madam Ye comes. But as of now, since your plan hasn’t succeeded, if people are drawn here, you will lose your reputation and dignity."

Upon hearing this, the young lady pondered briefly, then left with the maid. However, before leaving, she shot Mu Shuang a look as if wanting to eat her alive.

After the young lady left, Mu Shuang went to check on Ye Rongqing, worrying that the two weren’t there for good intentions, but perhaps to do harm.

But who knew, just as she entered, something happened!

Ye Rongqing pulled her under him forcefully, and what happened next was clear without elaboration.

That night, Ye Rongqing was like a wild beast, tormenting her for a long time.

She was still an unmarried girl, naturally terrified when faced with this situation, and being thin-skinned, she didn’t know how to face him once he woke. Therefore, she quickly dressed after the incident and rushed back to her courtyard.

But who would have known, there were so many night watchmen, when one left, another came.

Although Mu Shuang didn’t know what followed, she could roughly guess.
