Chapter 789: Stupid Yuezheng Ting
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yuezheng Ting, driven by anger, resorted to threatening the monks to swear to the Buddhas. However, her audacity and arrogance incited fury among the monks.
Who did she think she was to demand such a sacred oath from them? The monks saw no reason to comply with her demands. Instead, they firmly stated that they would not swear to the Buddhas, but they would honor their commitment to keep the events confidential. Whether Yuezheng Ting chose to believe them or not was up to her.
Moreover, in a community where people talked, it was highly likely that word of the incident would eventually spread.
At this point, there was little more the monks could do to assist them. Qiao
Wei, as a guest, refrained from further cursing, sobbing sorrowfully instead. In contrast, Yuezheng Tings anger intensified, leading her to lash out and attack the monks verbally.
However, it was important to note that the monks had no obligation to assist the Yuezheng Family beyond the bounds of common decency. The monks would have already left if it weren’t for the Yuezheng Family’s title and the location where the incident occurred.
After the incident, the monks promptly sent messengers to inform both the
Yuezheng Family and Qiao Xuan’s family about what had transpired. Qiao Xuan had anticipated this and had requested the monks to inform her family and the First Madame as well.
Feeling sympathetic towards Qiao Xuan, the monks agreed willingly and informed both parties without delay.
Soon, First Madame, Ms. Mi Junior, and Nis. Fang were all informed of the situation. Ms. Mi Junior then relayed the news to Madame Qiao, and they all became greatly concerned and anxious. First Madame took the lead and made the decision for them all to travel to the temple together.
Yuezheng Tings actions were quite impulsive and lacked foresight.
Before anyone else was aware of what had happened, Yuezheng Ting threw herself into Ms. Mi Junior’s arms, overcome with tears of fear and distress.
Amidst her tearful sobs, she recounted the terrifying experience of waking up to find a repulsive and unsightly man on top of her.
This revelation startled Ms. Mi Junior and First Madame, as well as everyone else present.
First Madame’s voice rang out sharply as she snapped, “This girl must have been terrified, and she’s likely speaking nonsense. Take her to a room to rest!”
Only then did Ms. Mi Junior grasp the situation. She interrupted Yuezheng Tings cries and guided her back to the room that had been arranged by the temple.
First Madame led Qiao Xuan, the rest of their group, the monks who had come to their aid, and the temple chief to proceed with further discussions.
The temple was now entangled in this matter, and it was necessary to clarify everything.
First Madame turned to Qiao Xuan and asked, “What happened?”
Yuezheng Ting interjected, cursing, “She set us up! It was all her doing!’
First Madame’s expression hardened. “Quiet down now. You’ll have your chance to speak.”
Ms. Mi Junior’s anger flared up. “Elder Sister-in-law, you’re siding with an outsider! ”
First Madame sneered. “Have you forgotten about the fan?”
Ms. Mi Junior found herself at a loss for words.
Qiao Xuan responded “Lady Yuezheng, how amusing. You had a whole entourage with you, while I had no maids by my side. You invited me to join you for a pleasant time in the temple and the surrounding mountains, and now you accuse me of setting you up?”
Madame Qiao intervened sharply, “Xuan, mind your manners. Lady Yuezheng would never plot against you!’
Ms.. Fang, displeased by Madame Qiao’s statement, retorted, “Madame, you may not be Qiao’s biological mother, but that doesn’t mean you should show such obvious favoritism, does it?”
