Quick Transmigration Hoarding: My Selfishness Leads to a Killing Frenzy

Chapter 493 The Unfaithful and Unjust Son 4

At dinner time, Wei Jinyuan returned from court.

Upon hearing what had happened in the manor, he didn't even have time to see Liu Ruyan before storming into Qingmo's courtyard in a fit of rage.

At that moment, Qingmo was having her meal with a calm and collected expression.

Wei Jinyuan kicked open the door, causing the bowls and plates on the table to rattle loudly.

Qingmo slowly put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief: "What is the Duke doing? Can't you even have a peaceful dinner?"

"You still have the nerve to eat?"

Wei Jinyuan's face turned ashen with anger. "I heard you punished Ruyan today. As the mistress of the house, how can you be so jealous?"

"Ze'er was also locked up in the ancestral hall by you, you..."

"What's wrong with me?"

Qingmo looked up at him, her eyes flashing with cold light.

“Disciplining concubines and disciplining unfilial sons—aren’t these things my duty as the mistress of the house?”

Wei Jinyuan was speechless for a moment, then angrily retorted, "You're clearly using this as an excuse to take revenge!"

"Revenge?" Qingmo chuckled lightly. "The Duke, tell me, why would I want revenge?!"

Wei Jinyuan flung his sleeve, his anger barely contained: "You know perfectly well why you're asking! You harbor resentment over Ruyan's entry into the manor!"

"If you resent my taking a concubine, just say so. Why make things difficult for others?"

"If I don't want to make things difficult for others, then I'll make things difficult for you?!"

"If you have any questions, just come at me, Your Majesty."

Qingmo: Really? Really? Seriously?!

"Alright, since you've said so, my husband, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Qingmo stood up, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

She walked slowly to Wei Jinyuan, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

"Since the Duke is so fond of Consort Liu, why don't you take the punishment in her place?"

Wei Jinyuan was taken aback, clearly not expecting her to say that: "You... what do you mean?"

Qingmo clapped her hands slowly, and Rong Mama immediately walked in from outside the door.

"Lord Duke, Madam," Rong Mama bowed respectfully.

"Granny Rong, do to the Duke what you did to Consort Liu during the day," Qingmo said calmly.

Rong Momo was stunned!

What is the lady saying?

She dared to lay a hand on Aunt Liu, who was just a concubine, but this was the Duke! She wouldn't dare even if she had a thousand lives.

"Madam... this old servant dares not." Rong Mama knelt on the ground with a thud, her body still trembling uncontrollably.

Although Wei Jinyuan did not know what she had done to Liu Ruyan, he suspected it was not a good thing.

He pointed at Qingmo and angrily said, "How dare you! This Duke is an official appointed by the imperial court. How dare you, a mere lady of the inner quarters, use private torture against this Duke!"

Qingmo sneered: "Lord Duke, didn't you just tell me to come at you?"

"Why, are you scared?"

"You are indeed the Duke, but my father is also a Marquis, and my elder sister is His Majesty's favorite concubine, the current Imperial Concubine."

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?!"

That's right, our background is that powerful.

Otherwise, Wei Jinyuan wouldn't have hesitated to take a concubine for so many years; he was afraid of her family's influence.

Wei Jinyuan's face turned deathly pale instantly. He clearly hadn't expected Qingmo to directly use her family's influence to pressure him.

He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, but he dared not be as arrogant as before.

"You...you're abusing your power!" Wei Jinyuan gritted his teeth.

Qingmo smiled dismissively: "Your Excellency is joking. I was just stating the facts."

"If you are dissatisfied, you are welcome to appeal to His Majesty."

She slowly walked up to Wei Jinyuan and gently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

"However, Your Excellency should think this through carefully."

"Her Highness the Imperial Concubine loves me the most. If she knew that you would treat me like this for a lowly concubine..."

Wei Jinyuan trembled, and even more cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

He certainly knew how formidable the Imperial Concubine was; she was someone who could whisper in His Majesty's ear.

"What exactly do you want?" Wei Jinyuan finally softened.

Qingmo kicked Rong Momo directly.

"You dog of a servant, don't you understand what I'm saying?"

"If you weren't so useless, would you like me to have someone else help you loosen up your muscles?"

Rong Momo was kicked so hard that she stumbled and got up, her face pale.

She finally understood that if she didn't take action today, the lady would be the first to not let her off the hook.

"This old servant...this old servant will now serve the Duke..."

With trembling hands, Rong Momo picked up the silver needles and walked towards Wei Jinyuan.

Wei Jinyuan was furious upon seeing this: "You lowly slave! How dare you!"

"Someone, someone come to me!"

As soon as Wei Jinyuan called out, several servants immediately came in.

"The lady has gone mad. Lock her up."

"And this old woman, grab her and beat her to death with sticks."

Upon hearing this, Qingmo suddenly threw her head back and burst into laughter, her laughter carrying a hint of madness.

She slammed her hand on the table, and all the bowls and plates on it shattered on the floor with a crash.

"I'd like to see who dares!" she shouted sternly.

"I am a first-rank imperial consort, the younger sister of the Imperial Concubine."

"If anyone dares to make a move today, I will kill their entire family."

She wasn't exaggerating; she was saying that if she said that someone's entire family was killed, no one would be spared.

The servants and attendants dared not move, all turning their gazes toward the Duke.

Wei Jinyuan, however, was not afraid.

This is the Duke's mansion; he doesn't believe the Imperial Concubine's influence could extend to the Duke's mansion.

"Sir, I am the master of this mansion. Don't listen to the nonsense of a mere woman."

With the Duke's words, the group was no longer afraid.

Immediately, someone walked towards Qingmo.

Since they are so stubborn, Qingmo has nothing more to say.

She pulled out the swords she had put away earlier and killed one after another.

Within a few breaths, the servants were dead.

Upon seeing this, Wei Jinyuan was so frightened that he took a few steps back.

"He's gone mad, he's really gone mad. He immediately tried to run outside to call for help."

However, Qingmo dragged her back.

"Granny Rong, stab me! Stab me to death!"

The terrifying scene that just happened had left the maids and servants in Qingmo's room completely terrified.

Hearing the lady call her name, Rong Momo dared not hesitate any longer.

She didn't know if the lady was crazy or not, but if she didn't do as she was told, her head would definitely be chopped off.

Now we don't need to fetch water anymore; we can just start pricking right away.

Practice makes perfect. After that morning's experience, Rong Momo already knew where to prick the most painful spots.

"what--"

That night, Wei Jinyuan's screams echoed endlessly.

It just hurts a little! I won't die.
