Chapter 164: Chapter 164

Yu Nianzhao glanced at her, suddenly realizing, "Seeing your sharp and sour demeanor, it turns out you are a maid who has charmed your master for a position. To climb to your current position, you must have used quite a few tactics, even squeezing out the original mistress, who eventually died of depression. That’s why you now have your retribution, a fate of having no descendants."

Ms Lien’s face changed dramatically. She slammed the table, stood up, and pointed at Yu Nianzhao’s nose, cursing, "Good, you little venomous woman, are you cursing me?"

"I can tell just by calculating with my fingers; this is your fate!" Yu Nianzhao said lazily.

Ms Lien was furious, yet in her mind, she was thinking about the fate of Lien Zhiyuan that Yu Nianzhao had calculated.

Even though they wanted to hide the affairs between the Lien Family and the Tang Family, how could such a grand wedding not be known? Now, the whole Shangjing was buzzing about it.

Initially, no one believed it. How could a joyous wedding end in death?

Until Lien Wenhe brought back the dying Lien Zhiyuan, only then did they realize such a major event had occurred in the Tang Family.

Lien Zhiyuan was almost buried alive in the coffin.

No matter what, they somewhat believed what Yu Nianzhao had said.

Mr Lien’s attention suddenly shifted to them, suspiciously asking, "Is it true that the third son’s wife has the fate of having no descendants?"

Mr Lien couldn’t sit still either, dissatisfied, "Stop listening to this girl spouting nonsense here. Didn’t the madam have a pregnancy before? But later, it was miscarried due to colliding with a former concubine, right?"

Mr Lien glared, "Bah! It’s gone; even that is fate, isn’t it?"

Mr Lien felt a chill, muttering, "Am I truly destined to have no sons or daughters?"

Mr Lien scoffed coldly, "It’s her fate of having no descendants, not yours. Just change a wife."

Upon hearing Mr Lien’s heartless words, Ms Lien angrily wanted to rush at Yu Nianzhao, "You are too vicious. You want me to have no place to stand in the Lien Family? Are you trying to kill me?" ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel[f]ire.net

Pei Yunqing was about to get up to stop it, but Pei Yunzhi immediately fell against him, looking pitiful, "Brother, I feel dizzy."

Humph, how could she miss witnessing the scene where Yu Nianzhao was dealt with?

Pei Yunqing was held back, and could only watch helplessly as Ms Lien tried to slap Yu Nianzhao.

Zhixi blocked in front of Yu Nianzhao, grabbing Ms Lien’s hand with one hand, and gave her a slap with the other.

"You wretched maid dare to hit me?" Ms Lien came back to her senses, her eyes red.

"It’s you I hit. You dare to hit the future Princess Consort Su? Are you seeking death?" Zhixi’s eyes were piercingly cold, having emerged from the palace, and her gaze stunned Ms Lien.

"Yu Nianzhao, even your maid dare slap the face of the Lien Family? What decorum is this?" Mr Lien frowned tightly. Although he looked down on Ms Lien, the third was not divorced yet, and this slap affected the Lien Family’s face.

Yu Nianzhao clapped her hands for Zhixi, whose chin lifted even higher.

Mr Lien turned red in the face, "I am your third uncle after all. What right does your maid have to hit my woman? Yu Nianzhao, hand over your maid for punishment, or this matter won’t end well."

Ms Lien hurriedly played the peacemaker, "Third brother, we’re all family, don’t harm the harmony."

Turning her head helplessly, "Zhaozhao, quickly have your maid apologize to your third uncle."

"Apologize? Are you serious?" Yu Nianzhao replied with a mocking smile.

Ms Lien suddenly had an ominous feeling, hesitating for a moment.

Pei Yuanzheng also urged, "How can you make the dinner so tense? It’s just a maid, hurry and apologize."

Pei Yunzhi said nasally, "Yes, or do you mean that even the maid around Zhaozhao’s sister is arrogant due to favor?"

"Tsk, Zhixi, go and inform the Lady Dowager." Yu Nianzhao gave Zhixi a look.

Zhixi immediately understood, "Yes, Princess Consort."

She was about to walk out.

"What Lady Dowager? What does this matter have to do with the Lady Dowager?" Ms Lien was confused and instinctively stopped Zhixi.

Yu Nianzhao feigned surprise, "Zhixi was bestowed to me by the Lady Dowager to take care of me. If you want her to apologize, doesn’t that mean the Lady Dowager has to apologize? It’s not for me to decide; Zhixi must go into the palace to ask the Lady Dowager."

"This maid was given to you by the Lady Dowager?"

The Lien Family members changed their expressions collectively, with faces turning green and white.

"Why didn’t you say sooner?" Pei Yuanzheng also felt disgraced, realizing they were slapping their own face?

Pei Yunzhi felt sour in her heart too, not expecting the Lady Dowager to favor Yu Nianzhao, an orphan.

Lien Wenhe slammed the table, looking coldly at them, "You still have the nerve to criticize Zhaozhao? I invited her here for a joyous occasion, yet you constantly target her. What are your intentions? She saved Zhiyuan, and just for that, anyone who dares to be rude to her shall not stay here for dinner and can leave the Lien Mansion."

"Brother, we didn’t say anything!"

Mr Lien feared Lien Wenhe, and quickly explained awkwardly.

"You abandoned your first wife; I still had a few words to say then. You really think you’ve married true love now? Who knows if the person next to you is a snake-hearted one?" Lien Wenhe sneered coldly, Mr Lien’s face becoming extremely ugly.

"Husband, I just love you too much." Ms Lien hugged Mr Lien’s arm, making a pitiful expression, knowing he ate this up the most.

Sure enough, seeing the compassionate look from Mr Lien.

"Hmm, love enough to put a green hat on him." Yu Nianzhao mercilessly exposed her, "Indeed, you were once pregnant, but that child wasn’t his. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have deliberately framed the concubine to get rid of that child. It was you who blocked your own way. After that, when the doctor checked your pulse, they warned you, it would be difficult to conceive again."

Ms Lien stared wide-eyed, hands clutching the sleeves, her gaze dodged, clearly caught by Yu Nianzhao’s words.

"What? Whose child was it if not mine?" Mr Lien’s anger surged, "Which bastard is this wretch hooked up with?"

Ms Lien’s face turned pale, shaking her head in denial, "Husband, I didn’t; this little wretch is framing me. You must believe me."

Yu Nianzhao glanced around, locking onto a target, pointing at the man crouching in the corner, "Ms Lien killed the original wife, thus attracting evil spirits, and continued harming all offspring of third branch consorts, being haunted by infant spirits, carrying a cloud of death. This cloud of death now appears on him; naturally, he must be the adulterer."
