Chapter 91 Apologizing?

Edited by xXHolicXx

    Su Qing, who heard the noise, quickly rushed downstairs and stood on the side of Mu Yunyao's side, anxiously looking at the scene in front of her: "Ding Lao Ye and Ding Lao Furen, all misunderstandings can be explained clearly, why do you have to be so angry?" 

    Old Madam Ding coldly looked at Su Qing and snorted: “This Niyunfang is a Xiufang or a fox’s nest? It smells like a fox when you enter the door, no wonder it spoilt my good daughter! No wonder a small Niyunnfang can make such a big stir in Jingling City. It turned out that the old fox has brought up a little fox with her. The common people in Jingling City can't resist your foxy tricks!" 

    After arriving at Jingling City, Su Qing basically never felt any malice. Old Madam Ding's words directly made her dazed on the spot. She seemed to have returned to the time when she was confronted with the Li's family. For a time, she was green with anger, trembling all over and unable to speak.

    Mu Yunyao's eyes changed into a piercingly cold gaze and immediately looked at Old Madam Ding. 

    Old Madam Ding was stabbed by her gaze, and couldn’t help but step back two steps. Her pitch-black eyes were bottomless. The black and white of her eyes were distinct but sharp and fierce. The people who looked at it couldn’t help but panic. How could this little girl be so evil?

    Mu Yunyao sneered aloud: "Even a vicious tiger would not eat its own cub. Today, I didn’t expect to see a more malicious one, who without rhyme or reason, called her own daughter out as being hysterical. I don’t know what good it would bring to Ding Lao Ye and Ding Lao Furen?"

    "When did I talk nonsense? My daughter was fine before she came here. After she came here once, she became suspicious. After that, she was stirring up trouble with my son-in-law for no reason. My son-in-law came to take her back but she would rather cut her face with a piece of porcelain to stay in Niyunfang. If she’s not being drugged by you then who can explain it?”

     The group of people who gathered at the entrance heard this and felt confused, one used to say that Zhou Daren pushed Madam Ding, which caused her to fall on the ground and scratched her face. How could Old Madam Ding now say that Lady Ding scratched herself in order to stay in Niyunfang? In the end, who should they believe?

    Ding Yuelan's face was deathly pale, and when she heard the comments of the people around her, she felt sorry for Mu Yunyao from the bottom of her heart: "Mother, don't talk nonsense. I had nowhere to go before so I came to Niyunfang. Fortunately, she took me in. Please don’t lie through your teeth to frame her."

    "I’m framing her? If she stays upright in front of me, there is nothing to hide and framed for. However, the facts are clear. In the beginning, you and Zhou Ao were a pair of golden couple, Since you were married, he has been very fond of you. Even when you acted presumptuously, he still didn’t criticise you even with a word. Now, since you came to Neiyunfang a few days ago, you’ve been insisting on leaving him. Even the whole city of Jingling knows about it. Excuse me but what has Zhou Ao done to make him apologize to you?”

    “What he did to let me down, isn’t your heart the most clear about it?” Ding Yuelan felt deeply hurt, her own parents actually helped the outsiders to force her! "Zhou's temperament is gentle and is extremely filial to us. He dotes on you to the extreme. He doesn’t even have a concubine in the manor. As a parent, I already saw him as an impeccable man. I really don't know why you’re not satisfied with him. Today, you must follow me to go back to live a good life with Zhou Ao and everything would be as if nothing had happened. Lan’er, as parents, we will never harm you!"  

    “I won’t go back!" Now that she knew Zhou Ao's real face, when she saw him, Ding Yuelan would feel nauseated, let alone going back to live with him day and night. 

    Old Madam Ding sneered, and the spearhead pointed to Mu Yunyao again: “It’s all because of you, you vixen! It’s not enough that you’ve have harmed my daughter, now you want to harm the entire Jingling city’s women, I will never let you succeed!" 

    Then she turned to the people around her and said: "You people dares to let your mother and daughter learn embroidery in Niyunfang? Maybe two days later your mother and daughter would have completely changed their temperament and making a fuss in order to stay here. When that time comes, you can't even find a place to cry!"

     "Mother, how can you uttered such nonsense!" Ding Yuelan's chest heaved up and down continuously. Although her mother was usually somewhat arrogant, but she would never be as unreasonable as today’s. She went as far as not distinguishing between right and wrong in Niyunfang and even kept on pouring dirty water on her head. Didn’t she know how much contribution Niyunfang had made in Jingling City?

    "How can I not talk about it. How good of a child you used to be, but now your thoughts have become deep and you can’t be content with your own family. If this is not because you’re being bewitched by Niyunfang, then tell me what is it? I’m just kindly reminding everyone, otherwise it’s too late for regret when (bad) things happened!"

    Ding Yuelan guiltily looked at Mu Yunyao: "Little Boss, this is my fault..." 

    Mu Yunyao shook her head: "It’s not Furen’s fault. Only blame my Niyunfang for hindering others' eyes." At this point, she had fully understood that even if there was no Ding Yuelan, there would be other people came looking for trouble. As long as Niyunfang continued to teach the embroidery method, things would not be able to calm down. 

    Old Madam Ding was still unwilling to let go: "I heard earlier about what beauty books were created in Niyunfang, and later on what clothes were made to attract fireflies. Is this not a vixen’s method to charm people? Everyone comes here to learn embroidery stitching. I don't want people to send a good woman here just to be gone forever!”

    Mu Yunyao walked to the door step by step, looking at Old Madam Ding calmly: "How can I be more of a vixen than Ding Lao Furen’s exquisite calculations?" 

    "What do you mean by this?" 

    "Does the old lady not understand what I’m saying? Ding Jia also started as a merchant but within a short period of time, Ding Jia's reputation is spread far and wide and even managed to hold a place in Jingling City. First, the eldest daughter was married to an official from the capital. Although he was only a fifth-ranked official, it was still the position of someone under the foot of the emperor. The second daughter, Ding Yuexin, married the fifth-ranked Jingling Tongzhi, and the third daughter, Ding Yuelan, married fifth-ranked Xuan Fu shi. At present, the youngest daughter is in the middle of discussing marriage with Xuan Wei shi to bear children for him. Each and every daughter you have raised are really outstanding!" 

    Old Madam Ding couldn’t help but swallowed her saliva, she always felt that there were hidden arrows in Mu Yunyao’s remarks: "That is my Ding Jia’s accumulated good deeds to be blessed by the Heavens that Ding Jia's daughters were able to find a good home. Only to attract envy by such a black-hearted person like you!" 

    Mu Yunyao could not help but sneer: "If Ding Jia really accumulates good deeds by virtue, the Heavens will not let Ding Jia’s vanish to its roots!" 

    Old Madam Ding's face suddenly changed, and her voice sharpened: "Don't talk nonsense, or I'll tear your mouth!"

    Mu Yunyao walked closer to  Old Madam Ding, and her cold eyes examined her carefully, as if she wanted to see through her whole person. 

    Old Madam Ding involuntarily stepped back two steps, and then felt that she was acting cowardly, and hurried back to her original place. 

    Mu Yunyao coldly hooked up her lips: "Ding Lao Furen, if you apologize to my mother and Niyunfang now, I might consider giving you a free ride."
