After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven

Chapter 217 Questioning and Confrontation

"Miss, ma'am!"

The noisy sound made Yu Qingli lose all her sleepiness. She slowly sat up from the bed, rubbed her slightly painful forehead, sighed helplessly, and couldn't even get a good night's sleep.

"What's up?!"

"The master is here and he looks very angry. He wants the young lady to leave now."

Yu Qingli's eyes were clear, "I understand. Go and tell them I'll be there soon."

Mei Hong asked worriedly, "Miss, what happened? Why is the master so angry? He looks like..." Mei Hong hesitated to speak. The master looked like he wanted to kill her.

Yu Qingli smiled faintly, "Yeah? What happened?!"

Mei Hong was stunned, looking at Yu Qingli's calm face. It seemed that the young lady was not afraid at all. Was she overthinking it? She always felt that there was something different about the young lady.

Yu Qingli washed and dressed herself with the help of Mei Hong. She believed that no matter how angry Yu Zhengsha was, he probably would not want to see her appear in front of him and the servants in such a disheveled state.

For Yu Zhengsha, career and face are always the two most important things.

Soon, Yu Qingli was dressed neatly, wearing a plain hollow crocheted long skirt and a white waistcoat, looking as pure as a lotus.

Outside Liuliju, the sweet fragrance of osmanthus filled the air. The wind blew through the fallen petals, scattering the fragrant and tiny stamens. It was a peaceful and beautiful morning.

Yu Qingli looked at the bronze mirror and gave her the brightest smile. The weather was good today, and her mood was also good.

Walking out of the room, Yu Qingli saw Yu Zhengsha with a tired face. The dark color and bloodshot in his eyes showed how tormented he had been last night.

Yu Qingli sneered in her heart, what a good father!

Yu Zhengsha stayed by Yu Zhenzhen's bedside all night, and only left after she was out of danger, but the words of the imperial physician lingered in his ears.

"Miss Yu has sustained internal injuries from the fall. Her internal organs have been severely impacted. Even after recovery, I'm afraid she will still have underlying health problems. Her legs, in particular, have broken bones. Although treatment has been given, it depends on fate whether she can recover. I'm afraid she won't be able to run again."

The moment he heard this, Yu Zhengsha felt as if a sharp knife was stabbing into his heart. After Yu Qingli lost control, he had placed all his hopes on his second daughter. With Zhenzhen's beauty, she could definitely become the Crown Princess.

But nowadays, let alone becoming the Crown Princess, it might even be a problem for her to marry into an ordinary family and become the principal wife.

Damn it! This chess piece he had cultivated for years was destroyed just like that!

This was the only thing he couldn't accept, and at that moment, Yu Zhengsha suddenly became certain: he must kill Yu Qingli! Kill her at all costs!

Yu Zhengsha tried hard to suppress his anger. Looking at Yu Qingli in front of him, the face of the deceased Li Baiyun suddenly appeared in front of him. He gritted his teeth secretly, thinking that even the devil in hell could not stop his career!

"Good morning, father!"

Yu Qingli bowed respectfully towards Yu Zhengsha, looking refreshed. Seeing Yu Zhengsha like this, she was really happy, happy for her dead mother.

Did you see that, Mom? It turns out Yu Zhengsha also has something he doesn't want to lose! It turns out he, too, has this painful, sad expression.

What an irony!

"Yu Qingli, you did it, didn't you?!" Zhengsha asked directly, or rather, he was very sure that this matter was definitely Yu Qingli's doing.

Facing Yu Zhengsha's questioning, Yu Qingli blinked innocently, "Father, what are you talking about? Could it be that you were hallucinating because you were overworked last night?"

"Yu Qingli, don't go too far. You deliberately hurt Zhenzhen. I will settle this account with you sooner or later."

Yu Qingli's smile froze on her face. "Father, are you talking to me? I never realized you're such a good father! What's the matter? Your daughter was harmed, so you're biting people like a mad dog?"

Yu Zhengsha took a step forward and reached out to slap Yu Qingli in the face.

"Sunset!"

As soon as Yu Qingli finished speaking, Yu Zhengsha's hand was tightly grasped by another thin white arm, and he couldn't even move.

Yu Zhengsha looked at the new maid beside Yu Qingli in surprise. He didn't expect that she was actually a master!

Yu Qingli looked coldly into Yu Zhengsha's eyes and said word by word, "Father, I just want to tell you one thing. If you don't offend me, I won't offend you. If you do offend me, I will be punished by heaven and earth!"

Yu Qingli signaled Xiluo to let go of Yu Zhengsha. As Xiluo loosened his hand, Yu Zhengsha staggered back two steps. For the first time, he felt powerless and out of control of the situation.

After years of working in officialdom, this was the first time he had such a feeling. Even when he was just a small gatekeeper, he had never felt so scared and powerless.

The daughter in front of him, Yu Zhengsha's daughter, really inherited the strongest part of his character!

The anger in his heart turned into murderous intent at this moment, sweeping over him like an overwhelming force, making Yu Zhengsha almost forget to even put on a show.

He stood up straight again, his eyes cold as he said, "Yu Qingli, don't be too proud. Do you think you can win me over like this?"

"Father, your words are truly interesting. Why would I want to defeat you? I was simply protecting myself. Don't you understand this clearly? Isn't it all thanks to you, Father, that I've become what I am today?"

Yu Zhengsha was extremely angry and turned around and left.

Yu Qingli shouted at his back, "I hope father won't forget to prepare my dowry!"

Yu Zhengsha paused and did not look back, but looking at his stiff back, it seemed that he almost wanted to kill Yu Qingli.

It was not until Yu Zhengsha left Liuliju that Yu Qingli breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, she felt cold sweat all over her body and did not feel comfortable at all.

Mei Hong stood not far behind her, looking at Yu Qingli with a complicated expression. She was sure that it was not her illusion, but that Yu Qingli had really changed!

Feeling the gazes behind her, Yu Qingli suddenly turned around and her eyes met Mei Hong's. The indifference and murderousness in her eyes made Mei Hong take a few steps back in fright.

Seeing this, Xiluo on the side couldn't help but snort coldly to express his disdain!

At this moment, Mei Hong suddenly felt that she had been isolated from Yu Qingli's world. From then on, perhaps in the young lady's heart, she was no different from the Zhang San and Li Si in the mansion.

Mei Hong was terrified at the thought. Did this mean that if the young lady didn't want to, she could just not bring herself into the palace? Then, between her and the eldest prince...

Meihong could hardly believe it and immediately made up her mind that from today on, she would win back the young lady's favor.

Yu Zhengsha returned to the study in anger. He had clearly not slept all night, but he was not sleepy at all. This Yu Qingli was really getting too arrogant. Damn it!

He punched the desk in front of him hard, and the sandalwood desk shattered, and the pens, ink, paper and inkstone fell to the ground. The ink splashed all over Yu Zhengsha, but he didn't care at all.

What a damnable woman, just as damnable as her mother!

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

After the knock on the door, Jiang Bai walked in with a guilty look on his face and knelt down in front of Yu Zhengsha.

"I hope the master will punish me!"

Yu Zhengsha remained silent. In this matter, Jiang Bai was indeed at fault. If he had not failed to confirm it carefully, Yu Zhenzhen would not have been harmed innocently. However, Jiang Bai was his right-hand man, and Yu Qingli was becoming more and more powerful. He could not punish Jiang Bai at this time.

Seeing that Yu Zhengsha didn't say anything, Jiang Bai suddenly took out a dagger from his side.

"What are you doing?!"

"Master, this incident is entirely my fault. Since you are so kind that you can't bear to punish me, then I will punish myself."

As Jiang Bai spoke, he held the dagger in his hand and stabbed his left arm fiercely. Blood gushed out from the wound, staining Jiang Bai's clothes red.

Yu Zhengsha frowned, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Bai kowtowed fiercely and said, "Master, rest assured. I will definitely avenge this vengeance, including the Second Miss's share!"

The days flew by, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

After an autumn rain, the weather became cooler, and many osmanthus flowers in the Prime Minister's Mansion fell in the rain. A dexterous maid carefully picked some of them and used them to make cakes, among which Meihong was naturally indispensable.

"Miss, please try the sweet-scented osmanthus cake I just made. I also made tea with the lotus leaf water I collected in the summer."

Mei Hong brought the tea and snacks to Yu Qingli like she was presenting a treasure, her round face full of anticipation.

Yu Qingli put down the book in her hand. The fresh scent of osmanthus filled her nose, coupled with the fragrance of tea, which really made her feel a little hungry.

She picked up a piece of cake with her bare hands and put it into her mouth with the tea. It was soft, glutinous and fragrant, leaving a lingering fragrance on her lips and teeth. I have to say that Mei Hong's craftsmanship is really good.

These days, Mei Hong's attitude has become noticeably warmer. She asks Yu Qingli about her well-being every day and shows great concern for her, wishing she could do everything for her.

"Miss, how is it? Does it taste okay?"

When Yu Qingli came back to her senses, she saw Mei Hong's face with an obviously flattering smile, and the dimples on her cheeks were cute and lovely.

Yu Qingli responded calmly, "Not bad, Xiluo, you should try it too."

Xiluo on the side did not refuse, but said respectfully: "Thank you, Miss!" and took the pastry from Yu Qingli's hand.

Mei Hong's expression changed, but she soon returned to her smile. "Xiluo, last time I saw your shoes were worn out, so I made you a new pair. I'll give it to you later."

Xiluo glanced at Yu Qingli with a questioning look, and after receiving her agreement, she nodded and said, "Thank you!"

Yu Qingli could understand Mei Hong's intention very well. It seemed that even after a lifetime, Mei Hong was still obsessed with Murong Feng. It was a pity that she was no longer the Yu Qingli who was at the mercy of others.
