The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2076 - 2078: Biting Off Her Tongue to Commit Suicide

"Mu Shaoling is just meddling." Luo Linfei’s hatred was palpable, "Let’s have someone keep an eye on things and see the outcome. If that Yang Xiayun really can’t bear children anymore, then so be it. But if she still can, we’ll take matters into our own hands next time."

"Mother understands."

First Madam Luo gently patted Luo Linfei’s hair, "My daughter is so clever, head and shoulders above that fool from the Prime Minister’s family."

"What’s the use of being better?" Luo Linfei pouted unhappily, "Our family has no one useful in front of the Emperor."

"I discussed your situation with your father last time. Don’t worry, your father said he will find a way to fulfill your wishes."

Luo Linfei was delighted to hear this and grabbed First Madam Luo’s hand, "Mother, are you telling the truth? Father really plans to help me? Did he say what the plan is?"

"No, he didn’t mention that."

Seeing Luo Linfei’s face fall again, First Madam Luo comforted, "You must trust your father. If he says he has a way, then he surely does."

"Okay!"

Luo Linfei nodded, but her heart held little hope.

Prince An’s Mansion

After Yang Xiayun took her medicine, she was still resting, so Yang Chuxia used this time to clear out the maids in the courtyard.

After some investigation, it was discovered that the two pots of flowers were brought in by a sweeping maid.

"Speak, who ordered you to bring these flowers in?" Yang Chuxia’s tone was gentle, yet it made the little maid shiver in fear.

"Madam, no one instructed this servant to bring them in, truly!" The little maid shook her head, feeling wronged, "I bought these two pots of flowers myself. When I left the mansion, I saw how beautiful the flowers were, so I brought them back."

"Oh, really?" Yang Chuxia slammed her hand on the table, "If you brought them in yourself, then who gave you the courage to place outside items in the masters’ rooms? You’ve been here for a year, don’t tell me you don’t know the rules of Prince An’s Mansion!"

"I am giving you a chance to speak now. You’d better be honest and tell me everything you know, or else forget about anything good happening to your mother, your brother, or your sister. I heard that a new establishment opened in town recently, and they adore pretty girls. I heard your sister is more beautiful than you."

This little maid named Hongye, upon hearing Yang Chuxia’s words, her pupils contracted sharply, unable to hide the fear in her eyes.

Yet she remained stubborn, "Madam, please believe this servant, I truly didn’t intend to harm the young ladies. I just thought the flowers looked beautiful, so I bought them. Before Miss Yun and Miss Luo left the Capital City, they especially loved tending to plants and flowers, so I paid attention. I didn’t want to remain a sweeping maid; I wanted to serve the young ladies up close. That way, I could earn more wages and support my family."

"So when I saw flowers with beautiful colors, I bought them and secretly placed them in the young ladies’ rooms, hoping that when they returned from their travels, they could see the flowers. Surely, they would ask where these flowers came from then."

"Madam, I truly never meant to harm the two young ladies!"

"Oh, is that so?" Yang Chuxia asked lightly, "But I don’t believe you."

Upon hearing this, Hongye looked visibly desperate, and seeing Ming Lan approaching with two older women, she thought Yang Chuxia was going to torture her. That maid steeled her heart and bit her tongue, killing herself on the spot.

"Madam, what should we do?" Ming Lan was also startled, not expecting such obstinacy.
