Yu Gen understood what Mo Qiang was trying to say, and her expression changed again and again. She turned to look at the safe house before saying, "It was Yu Xinyi... She was the one who suggested this party."
Back then, she didn't think too much, as her daughter said to her that this was a great way to boost the morale of the officials and even praise Mo Qiang and Mo Xifeng for their hard work.
But now that she thought it carefully, even if they had to hold a party, was there a need for them to do it here? Why did Yu Xinyi arrange the party on these grounds?
Yu Gen's heart was thumping wildly as she swooned on the spot and nearly fell down.
"Mom!" Yu Lan helped her mother up and said to her, "Mom, don't jump to conclusions just yet. Maybe this is just a misunderstanding? Why don't you talk with sister first?"
"You are right," Yu Gen still held onto the hope that her daughter, whom she had raised and brought up, would not do something so sinister. After all, she had taught all her daughters to be kind and respectful!
There was no way Yu Xinyi would do something like this, right? RIGHT?
Yu Gen and Yu Lan, along with the other children of the Yu family, were still holding onto hope, but Mo Qiang didn't. Her gut was telling her that this matter had something to do with Yu Xinyi.
As she thought over things that were happening and had happened, she tugged on the collar of her shirt and pulled it away. Why was it so hot?
Mo Qiang felt really hot and bothered for some reason, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.
She was not the only one who was uncomfortable; Yu Gen, who was called Yu Xinyi, was even more uncomfortable. She looked at her daughter, who was nestled on a comfy bed and eating grapes, and felt terrible.
Her doubts and suspicions turned into reality, leaving Yu Gen to be filled with anger and heartache.
"What is the meaning of this, Yu Xinyi?" Yu Gen asked her daughter.
Yu Xinyi, who was sitting on the other side of the call, laughed and questioned her mother back, "What do you think this is, mother?"
"How–how dare you! How could you?!" Yu Gen looked at her daughter with anger and frustration. "Is this what I have taught you? How could you do such a thing?! You actually betrayed—"
"Oh, shut up!" Yu Xinyi rolled her eyes and straightened up. She sneered at her mother, who was looking at her with shock on her face, and said to her, "Why are you so shocked? Did you really think that I was happy following a useless dimwit like you? We could have earned millions! We could have lived a proper life, but you? You just had to be loyal to the court! What did it even give you?"
Yu Gen trembled with anger when she heard the lawless words of her daughter. She asked her, "So you did this because you wanted money and comfort? I don't think that you are lacking in anything."
"Who says that I am not lacking in anything?" Yu Xinyi sneered. "I wanted to become an official, but you told me that I don't have to become one, as I will take on your title and become a countess. Pfft! As if I want this to happen."
"Who wants to become the countess of this rotten place? It is better to have this place destroyed and use it as a wager," she bit the end of a grape and then moaned in delight. Yu Xinyi was really happy; not only was her plan going to succeed, but she was also going to get the title she was promised along with the land.
When she thought about how she was going to rise to glory in a few days, Yu Xinyi couldn't help but smile happily.
Yu Gen, on the other hand, was filled with distress. She looked at Yu Xinyi and asked, "Is your father with you? Did he agree with this matter as well?"
Just now she looked around, and she could not see her husband anywhere, which meant that he was not here. He must have escaped with Yu Xinyi.
"That's right," Yu Xinyi nodded with a jeer. "He is with me, and oh, don't feel too bad, mother. As you are going to die very soon, I will let you in on a secret."
She lowered her voice and stated, "I am not your daughter. Hahaha. Daddy cheated on you with your dear sister, and she is the one who will be taking me to higher grounds."
Yu Gen's eyes widened, and her mind went blank when she heard Yu Xinyi's words. Not her child? Her sister? Yu Gen felt like she had received a double blow.
She stumbled and almost fell on the ground if not for Yu Lan helping her up.
Behind them Mo Qiang narrowed her eyes and sharply remarked, "This is the first time I am seeing anyone who is this happy after announcing that she is a bastard and her father is a mer wh*re."
