Chapter 873: The Plan
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Madam, aren’t you angry?” Tang Dongfeng scratched his head and asked curiously. He was originally very angry, but when he saw Ye Muyu’s calm appearance, he could not vent his anger.
Ye Muyu smiled and poured him a cup of tea.
“Madam, please don’t do it. I can do it myself.” Tang Dongfeng was flattered.
“I’m not angry. It’s normal for the Yu family to do something like this. Besides, haven’t we taken revenge?” Ye Muyu called Sumei over. “Bring me a ceramic jar.”
Ye Muyu personally took out all the Yu Family’s rouge that she had bought and destroyed it. She did not let anyone touch it. Under Su Mei’s surprised gaze, she ordered, “No one in the entire residence is allowed to buy any cosmetics from the Yu family.”
Su Mei’s breathing tightened. “I’ll give the order right away.” She nodded.
“Madam, if you continue to give such orders, I’m afraid that it won’t be long before news of you and the Yu family being at odds spread,” Tang Dongfeng said after Su Mei left.
“It is not a serious matter. It is not a big deal if it is only spread within the residence. If it is spread, we will naturally be able to find the servants who need to be dealt with.”
“Madam, your mentality is indeed good. You can even deal with the servants in the residence who are not loyal enough.” Tang Dongfeng stroked his chin. He then continued with a pleasant expression, “By the way, Madam, there are indeed some things that outsiders don’t know about Liu Lu that you asked me to investigate.”
“Although Liu Lu was sold to work in the building, she had a biological sister of the same father and mother. She was sold into the inner residence of the Second Young Master of the Yu family who was thought to be a concubine.”
“That Second Young Master wanted to separate from the Yu family and live alone, but he lacked the silver to buy a family property. A concubine told Liu Lu about this. After Liu Lu heard about it, she made a deal with the Second Young Master of the Yu Family’s concubine. She gave him two hundred taels in a year, and Second Young Master Yu separated from the Yu family and left Nanchang County. Then, he made Liu Lu’s sister his wife and lived a good life outside.”
“After the two of them reached a deal, Liu Lu found an opportunity to make a deal with Madam Yu and come to our cosmetics shop to be a spy. She is naturally sensitive to cosmetics and makeup, so she is the most suitable spy.”
“I feel that we can’t do anything to her now. Although Liu Lu has a natural advantage in makeup, if she realizes that we’ve discovered her, her emotions might become unstable and the Yu family will easily see through her.”
“Why don’t we wait a little longer?”
Ye Muyu naturally thought so too. The Yu family had the guts to come and secretly learn the technique. They knew that there would be risks. They deserved to be schemed against.
After Tang Dongfeng left…
Ye Muyu then called Butler Luo over and instructed him to keep an eye on the residence. If the news spread, it would be a good time to get rid of a group of disloyal servants.
The weather was getting colder and colder. Soon, it was New Year’s Eve.
Along the way, Butler Luo cleared out a group of servants. The rules for the servants in the entire Chu residence became stricter and stricter. It was not easy to get information from anyone who came to ask.
Early in the morning, Ye Muyu and Chu Heng brought two carriages of things to worship the ancestors. The whole family took the carriage back to the village.
The whole family was wearing thick winter clothes and cloaks. They had fur armguards on their hands and furry boots on their feet.
They arrived at the village.
The old house had been demolished and rebuilt.
Usually, only Madam Liu and Chu Zhiwen would be at home. There was not much life in the house, and it seemed cold.
However, it was more crowded now as they had to go back after offering sacrifices to their ancestors.
Chu Heng brought his wife and children to the ancestral hall of the Chu family.
