Chapter 235: Against the Fifth Lady
"What are you saying?" The Fifth Lady blushed as she walked side by side with Wen Yao. She poked Wen Yao subtly, asking how could she be so frivolous. Then she thought of what she wanted to know, "What did the Queen Mother say to you before she left? I'm very curious."
"I can't tell you about this. I've already told the Emperor. If you want to know, you can ask him," Wen Yao said helplessly. "Isn't that why you've been waiting for me? I'll be disappointed. I know something but I can only tell the Ninth Master and the Emperor. I can't tell anyone else, not even my mother."
"Ah? Well, it seems I won't know," said the Fifth Lady, with a disappointed look on her face, and she asked all the servants beside her except the nanny to step a few steps away from them.
Wen Yao also asked everyone except Aunt Cui He to stand a few steps away from her. "What's wrong? Do you still need to talk in private?"
"Ninth brother's wife, you also know that the Fifth Master was raised by the Royal Madam. This incident has had a great impact on the Fifth Master. The Fifth Master also went to see the Royal Madam off, but in the end the Royal Madam could only tell you what you said and what she gave him. I saw that the Fifth Master was very disappointed, so I wanted to ask you, why can't you talk to me alone? I promise to only tell the Fifth Master, okay?" The Fifth Lady pulled Wen Yao to stop. Although she was asking, she seemed to have the intention of not giving up.
"Fifth sister-in-law wants me to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor?" Wen Yao approached Fifth Lady, a cold light flashed in her eyes. It seemed that her good temper made people feel that she had no temper. "Fifth sister-in-law thinks that you can use your belly to plot against Fifth Master and everyone else, which means I have to accept any order from you? He Tala, who do you think you are!"
After Wen Yao finished speaking, she took a step away from the Fifth Lady and slapped her hand away. "Fifth sister-in-law, do you want me to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor and have my entire clan exterminated? Why don't we go to the Qianqing Palace now, and you go and ask the Emperor in person what the Empress Dowager said to me at that time. Fifth sister-in-law, you mean that I should tell you what the Empress Dowager said to me, right?" Wen Yao raised her voice so that the servants around her could hear it.
The Fifth Lady's eyes widened. She didn't expect the Ninth Sister-in-law to shout out like that. "Ninth Sister-in-law! You!" Thinking of what Wen Yao had just said in her ear, the Fifth Lady felt a little angry, but she knew that she couldn't anger the Ninth Sister-in-law. "Ninth Sister-in-law, you misunderstood me, the Fifth Master. I just wanted to reassure the Fifth Master."
"If you want Fifth Master to be at ease, why did you drug yourself and frame Liu Jia?" Wen Yao looked at Fifth Lady with a sneer on her face. Seeing Fifth Lady's face change drastically, "I will never put myself in a difficult position. If anyone dares to let me be wronged, then they should make sure that she and the family behind them have done nothing wrong. Otherwise, even if they are in front of the Emperor, I can make them suffer. If you don't believe me, Fifth Lady, just try it!"
Wen Yao looked at the Fifth Lady, "I never bear grudges. I always take revenge on the spot and never give face to others. If Fifth Lady thinks that I have slandered you, go ahead and sue me. I'll see if I have evidence!"
Don’t you want the Tara clan to become more famous because of you?
Since you don't take me seriously and want to step on me and boss me around at any time, let's see if I can ruin your plan!
"Ninth Concubine, how can you use my Concubine's suffering to slander her? It was Liu Jia who wanted to murder my Concubine, how could you do this? Fifth Master and Ninth Master are brothers!" Yuzhu on the side spoke hurriedly and yelled at Wen Yao.
Wen Yao winked at Xiao Xia in the distance. Xiao Xia walked a few steps to Yuzhu and kicked her away. "Yuzhu!" Wu Fujin watched Yuzhu being kicked away. "Ninth brother's sister, what are you doing? How did I offend you?"
"Cui He, go to the Qianqing Palace and tell them that I want to sue the Fifth Lady for murdering the Fifth Master's concubine Liu Jia and plotting to kill the Fifth Master's eldest son Hongsheng!" Wen Yao's voice was only heard by the servants around her. She looked at the Fifth Lady approaching her, "She is just an old servant. She should have died when she plotted against the concubine Liu Jia. You shouldn't have messed with me, Tala! I am the Ninth Lady, not your servant. I must tell you what you want to know!"
"I didn't care about your jealousy in the past for the sake of my mother and the fifth master, but that doesn't mean I will let you bully me. Who do you think you are?" Wen Yao chuckled. "Even if I kill the nanny beside you, so what? I have made many contributions to the emperor. Do you think you can keep a vicious and ignorant servant like me?"
The Fifth Lady looked at Wen Yao's calm expression and knew that her previous little thoughts had been exposed. The foolish person in front of her knew everything she had done. "You! You know everything? You!"
"Who in the palace doesn't know about this? Who among us sisters-in-law doesn't know about this? They just watch you, a concubine, being trampled on by the concubines, and they won't say a word. Do you really think you are so smart?" Wen Yao looked at the Fifth Concubine, and then at her servants around her. "These servants are all your trusted ones, right? I wonder how many of them you can save this time."
Wen Yao's smile deepened. "This is a warning to you. This is the last time for you, in front of Mother and Master Wu. If there is a next time~"
This place is very close to the Qianqing Palace, so Zhai Lin quickly arrived with Kangxi's instructions, "Your servant Zhai Lin pays respects to the Ninth and Fifth Concubines."
"Zhai Lin, does the Emperor have any instructions?" Wen Yao did not look at the pale-faced Fifth Lady, but at Zhai Lin and the eunuchs and guards who had rushed over behind him.
Zhai Lin looked helpless, approached Wen Yao, and whispered, "The emperor said that you should stop making trouble in this matter. The Fifth Prince's mansion has just been quiet for a while, and the emperor said that he gets a headache when he hears it."
Wen Yao blinked, "This is not my fault. You asked the Royal Father to investigate what Fifth Sister-in-law did. It was obviously she who was looking for trouble and trying to spy on what the Royal Mother and the Royal Father said."
Zhai Lin glanced at the bewildered Fifth Lady over there. How could she dare to provoke Ninth Lady when she had no courage or brains? He was a little annoyed and decisively withdrew his gaze and ordered, "Take away all the servants beside Fifth Lady. Fifth Lady, the emperor said that you should go back and reflect on yourself. You'd better not enter the palace for half a year."
"Fifth Lady, please come in," Zhai Lin made a gesture of invitation, and saw that Fifth Lady looked at the old maid. Then he approached Fifth Lady and lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear, "The Emperor said that if Fifth Lady wants to save the maid beside her, then she should make things clear. Fifth Lady, do you want the reputation of the Tala family or this old slave?"
The Fifth Lady's face was gray and confused as she watched her trusted followers being taken away one by one, including those left behind by the Empress Dowager. She turned around and looked at her ninth brother's wife who was being fawned upon by Zhai Lin. Why did she act so arrogant in front of her and act so bossy in an attempt to show off her status as the sister-in-law?
