Chapter 2682: Chapter 13: Xiaoyu’s Family Pays a Visit
It’s likely that after Mu Shuang left, that Xiao Yu sneaked into Ye Rongqing’s courtyard to take advantage of the situation.
"You don’t remember which family that lady belongs to at all?"
Mu Shuang shook her head, "She looked quite unfamiliar."
Qi Yunqiao nodded, "Later, I’ll have someone investigate the guests who came and went that day. But that Xiao Yu really knows how to take advantage of opportunities, catching you off guard."
She thought to herself that nowadays maids could be so formidable; she must examine the maids in her own courtyard to prevent any improper ones from appearing.
After learning the whole incident from Mu Shuang, Qi Yunqiao was quite distressed for a moment, but soon she was brimming with excitement.
There was a look of smugness about brewing a big plan that no one else knew about.
This made Ms. Fan and Commandery Princess Dongyang even more curious, and even Mu Niancheng turned to look.
"You’re really not going to tell me? Good things should be shared; keeping it to yourself reduces the fun by a lot."
"I’m just not going to tell you, not going to tell you... just not..."
Qi Yunqiao cheerfully had the maids fix her hair, then looked in the mirror from side to side.
Seeing Mu Niancheng still standing there with a frown, she thought for a moment, walked over, and patted him on the shoulder, "Young man, you will soon have a brother-in-law... uh... that’s it!!"
Without waiting for him to speak, she quickly called people to set the table for a meal.
Throughout breakfast, she occasionally hummed a little tune.
After breakfast, she greeted Mu Niancheng, got into the carriage, and went to the Ye Family with a full ten-tenths of a look ready to demand justice.
Compared to Qi Yunqiao’s elation, things at the Ye Family weren’t so pleasant.
At Prince An’s Mansion, Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an were looking at a few people in the hall with dark faces.
"In response to Madam, I’m here because of my niece Xiao Yu’s matter,"
The people in the hall were none other than Xiao Yu’s mother, her uncle, and third uncle, with the one speaking being the third uncle.
"Oh, you all came just in time; otherwise, this Madam would have to send someone to invite you. Yang Chuxia had no idea why these people suddenly came over, still shouting at the door that they were relatives of the Ye Residence, causing a group of people to watch the commotion.
So don’t blame her for not giving them a chance to speak.
"Your family’s Xiao Yu can’t stay in the mansion any longer; her actions are simply reckless. During the banquet at the house a few days ago, she was to serve tea to the guests but indiscreetly offended an important guest. Fortunately, the guest was magnanimous and did not hold a grudge; otherwise, if they were upset, even our Prince An’s Mansion couldn’t afford it."
"Such an unruly maid can’t stay in our mansion; you should take her home today."
With these words, Xiao Yu’s family’s faces changed.
This was completely different from the information they received.
But it was true, as Xiao Yu said, the old lady of the Ye Family disagreed with Master Ye San and Xiao Yu’s matter.
No wonder Xiao Yu wanted them to spread the word.
Xiao Yu was afraid of ending up empty-handed.
"Madam Ye!" Xiao Yu’s uncle said, "I don’t know if Xiao Yu offended anyone, but I do know that my niece Xiao Yu is now Master Ye San’s person. As the saying goes, a couple for a night is like a friendship for a hundred days. It’s just an offense, why does it come to the point of being expelled from the mansion? Besides, shouldn’t we consider the future grandson yet unborn?"
"Pfft..." Ye Haoyang couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing, then pounded a fist on the table, "Nonsense!"
