Chapter 1463: Revised: Chapter 1460 Donât Mind
When Duke Zheng and the Matriarch of the Liu family arrived after receiving the news, what they saw was this farce.
âEnough, stop!â Duke Zheng shouted angrily.
The group of people who were fighting from inside the house to the courtyard stopped.
The maidservants trembled, kneeling on the ground not daring to speak.
Upon hearing her grandfatherâs voice, Liu Qingduo shuddered instinctively. She looked up and saw the furious Liu Yanzhen. Remembering something, she didnât bother to tidy her hair or clothes, and ran to Liu Yanzhen angrily accusing, âGrandfather, Tang Beauty has gone too far. I kindly came to see her, but she directly hit me. Look, my face is scratched by her.â
Madam Tang didnât expect the usually mindless Liu Qingduo to cunningly pull this trick. Furious inside, she hastily tidied her hair, looked sorrowfully at Liu Yanzhen with a face full of grievance, âMaster, it was improper for me to hear Second Miss saying that I am unworthy of bearing your child, in my grief, I retorted a few words, and Second Miss got angry and started hitting me. It was my fault for retaliating, it is my mistake.â
Liu Qingduoâs smug smile froze on her face. She wasnât afraid of Madam Tangâs rebuttal that she had struck first, as everyone in this residence was replaced by her grandmother and wouldnât speak up for Madam Tang. She only needed to shift the blame onto Madam Tang, and her grandfather would surely side with her in this farce.
Unexpectedly, Madam Tang directly accused her of the misdeed, even though itâs how she felt, she never said it aloud.
Liu Qingduoâs face turned red with anger, âYou are lying! When did I ever say such things? Donât deceive my grandfather. My temperament is well known to him. Even if I dislike you, I wouldnât disparage the matter of heirship.â
Liu Qingyuan glanced at the speaking Madam Tang, understood her calculation, and added, âGrandfather, Second Sisterâs temperament might be impulsive, but she knows where the line is. She has never said such things.â
Madam Liu gazed sternly at the servants kneeling in the courtyard and asked, âExplain, why did Second Miss and Tang Beauty start fighting?â
Several maidservants trembled, âIn response to Senior Lady, Second Miss didnât acknowledge Tang Beauty as an elder, and somehow they started fighting.â
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingduo was even more enraged, âJust a concubine, how can she be considered my elder? Grandfather, I wasnât wrong.â
Liu Qingyuan felt the same way, knowing that even previously their grandfather thought this way. However, she anxiously glanced at Liu Yanzhen hoping to find something unusual in his expression.
Madam Liu reprimanded softly, âSecond Yatou, be quiet. How can you start a fight over a word? Apologize at once!â
Liu Qingduo was reluctant.
Liu Qingyuan squeezed her hand, warningly glared at her.
Angry again, Liu Qingduo couldnât defy her mother and sisterâs words. She gritted her teeth and reluctantly said, âIt was wrong of me to hit, but you also spoke incorrectly and should apologize to me.â
Madam Tang saw the Liu familyâs female members unite against her, coldly laughing inside but shedding tears sorrowfully, âSecond Miss, you are too humble. I understand my lowly status but just wish to live well. I donât want to compete with you. Please donât get angry because Master comes to my yard. I merely serve the Master, how could I have a say in matters.â
Liu Qingyuanâs eyes flickered, âI apologize, my sister was impulsive. She has apologized to you. Please donât mind it.â
