Chapter 1953 - 1955: I Knew You Were Ruthless, Old Woman
"Come here, take this package."
Old Madam Luo summoned the nanny to her side, "This is something good. Find a way to give it to your nephew, and make sure he gets it to the Second to consume. Once he does, I’ll be at ease."
"This..." The nanny hesitated, worried that this matter might implicate her nephew if something went wrong.
"Don’t worry, this thing is colorless and tasteless, it’s a good thing," Old Madam Luo chuckled, "Everyone says that old man died of illness, but it’s a pity no one knew that without this thing, he might not have gone so quickly."
"My daughter is dead, my son is useless, and as long as he lives, he will divide the Luo Family among those little bastards. In that case, it’s better to let him die."
In the dim light, Old Madam Luo’s face was ominously sinister, "It’s better for me to control the Luo Family than him. At least my son would gain more. Rest assured, this thing is colorless and tasteless, he won’t detect it, and your nephew won’t be implicated. Help me with this last task, and I’ll allow you to retire with honor."
"..." The nanny, who was initially hesitant, was moved. After a brief contemplation, she gritted her teeth and agreed, "Yes, rest assured, Old Madam, this old servant guarantees you it will be done flawlessly."
"Good, now I am relieved." Remembering something, Old Madam Luo said hatefully, "Just because my daughter isn’t favored, he wants to send that cheap girl into the palace. Ha, what a pity, just a poor scholar, a mere fraud. Now thinking of it, I feel relieved. But that cheap girl could still give birth to Ye Zi’an, that little bastard, truly heaven has no eyes.
"It’s not that heaven has no eyes, but rather heaven’s eyes are too open, which is why your poisonous plan fell through," Yang Chuxia, who had been eavesdropping outside for a long time, couldn’t hold back any longer.
Especially when she heard her referring to Ye Zi’an as a bastard and the girl as cheap, Yang Chuxia’s anger flared up.
She pushed open the window and flipped inside.
"You..." The nanny immediately wanted to scream, but she was too slow and was promptly choked by Yang Chuxia’s silver thread around her neck.
With a knife to Old Madam Luo’s neck, she said, "Old woman, you’d better not move, or my knife might not have eyes."
"Who... who are you?"
"Who am I? Can’t you tell?" Yang Chuxia raised an eyebrow, "I always knew you were ruthless, but I didn’t expect so many people in the Luo Family were killed by you. It’s no wonder your son and grandson are useless, and your daughter died young. A person like you, who does such evil, wasn’t taken by heaven because the punishment fell upon your children."
"I heard your daughter did something wrong in the palace back then, which nearly caused the decline of the Luo Residence. Do you know what wrong she did?"
This was something Yang Chuxia had always been curious about.
"I don’t know!"
"No, you know!"
"Why are you asking this?" Old Madam Luo became suspicious and started guessing the identity of the person in front of her, "Are you Yang Chuxia?"
"Why do you care who I am? Tell me what it was for, or my blade might take action."
As she spoke, the tip of the knife pressed a little deeper, and fresh blood trickled down the blade.
Old Madam Luo, afraid of death, said, "Because General Tong humiliated Princess Consort Qi, and after the Emperor found out, he implicated her. You know, when a tree falls, monkeys scatter; once a person is in trouble, all sorts of factions will step in."
Yang Chuxia was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood. The Emperor had taken Noble Princess Consort Luo, General Tong was displeased, and took the opportunity to harm Princess Consort Qi. The Emperor found out and took it out on Noble Princess Consort Luo, and the consorts in the palace seized the opportunity to strike. Tsk, what a melodramatic tale.
