Long Live the Empress

Chapter 222: Earth-shaking

Just when Yue Tianhong happily returned to Yue Mansion, the attitude of everyone in Yue Mansion towards him had changed drastically.

When the servants saw Yue Tianhong, they were still respectful on the surface, after all, Yue Tianhong was their master, but when they turned their backs, they discussed Yue Tianhong's "glorious deeds" incessantly. The old lady didn't care much about this matter, because everyone in the capital knew about it, and it was useless for her to only care about the people in the mansion.

Yue Tianhong was so happy that he didn't notice the awkward atmosphere in the mansion. When he came back, he wanted to pay his respects to the old lady first, but was rejected by Aunt Zhang for the first time. "Sir, the old lady is not feeling well. Please come back another day!"

Yue Tianhong pretended to be worried and greeted a few people, then went to Jinglan Garden.

"Aunt, I'm back!" Yue Tianhong shouted happily before he even entered the house, but Aunt Su didn't respond. Yue Tianhong didn't care and strode into the house.

Aunt Su was sitting in the hall in a daze. When she saw Yue Tianhong come in, she didn't move.

"Aunt, my uncle said that since my sister's matter has been settled, you should obey the emperor's order! Also, my uncle said that grandpa will be back soon! When grandpa comes back, I wonder who dares to bully you! By then, aunt will not have to live in Jinglan Garden..."

Yue Tianhong kept talking, and even when he was dry-mouthed, Aunt Su didn't respond. "Aunt, what's wrong with you?"

Aunt Su slowly turned her head and asked in a hoarse voice: "Hong'er, is that true?"

Yue Tianhong's heart skipped a beat. He had tried every possible way to cover up the matter, but how come Aunt Su knew about it now? No, it definitely wasn't that matter!

Yue Tianhong smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Auntie? I've been very well behaved recently..."

"How long are you going to keep this secret from me?" Aunt Su cried out loudly, "Is the story between you and... between you and your uncle true?"

Yue Tianhong was stunned. He knelt in front of Aunt Su and said with all his might, "Aunt, it was that bitch Yue Jinghao who framed my uncle and me! It was all because of that bitch!"

"So, that thing is true?" Aunt Su finally gave up. Her last glimmer of hope was gone.

"Aunt! I was really framed!" Yue Tianhong crawled towards Aunt Su with snot running down his face. He hugged Aunt Su's legs and told her what happened that day. Finally, Yue Tianhong said angrily, "Aunt, if it wasn't Yue Jinghao, who else could it be?"

Aunt Su quietly put her mind at ease after hearing what Yue Tianhong said. As long as it wasn't an illicit love, Aunt Su felt that Yue Tianhong still had a future. "Hong'er, the most important thing now is not to deal with Yue Jinghao, but to win back the hearts of your father and grandmother! Today, that bitch Yue Yuyan exposed your affairs. I'm worried that your future life will not be easy!"

"Don't worry, Aunt! I'll stay away from them these days. Let's make plans after grandfather comes back!" Yue Tianhong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Aunt Su's expression ease a little.

"Okay, you go back first! Let me think about it!" Ever since Aunt Su became disabled, she has completely lost her previous fighting spirit. Now that Yue Tianhong has encountered such a thing, she must cheer up.

After Yue Tianhong came out of Jinglan Garden, he saw the servants secretly looking at him, and occasionally giving glances to the people around him...

This made Yue Tianhong, who was always proud and arrogant, very angry. He held his head high and said, "No matter what happens to me, you must remember that I am your master. Your life and death all depend on my words. If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for disregarding the bond between master and servant! Humph!"

When the servants heard this, they dared not act rashly. They all lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

Seeing this, Yue Tianhong snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left.
