Chapter 409 - 411: Running Towards Each Other
Shao He lightly pursed her lips into a smile, for this was precisely the effect she desired. Only if the news of Chu Yu’s impotence spread throughout the Capital City could she proceed with her next moves.
Seeing her still able to smile, Qing Shan frowned and said, "This rumor is disadvantageous to the young miss, as Chu Yu’s issue inevitably brings up the young miss’s name, damaging her reputation."
Upon hearing this, Qingxia immediately became anxious and asked, "Why would the young miss want us to do such a thing? Wouldn’t this be harming the enemy eight hundred but ourselves a thousand?"
Even if the Marquis of Pingnan’s Mansion brought about such a huge scandal, laughed at by everyone in the Capital City, the young miss could not avoid being mentioned.
Qing Shan grabbed Qingxia and asked, "What did you mean by what you just said?"
"It was I who had Qingxia deliberately leak the information, leading to the stepson’s deeds being discovered by Old Madam Chu and Liang Weishuang, and thus exacerbating the situation," said Shao He as she slowly poured herself a cup of tea.
"Miss, why would you do this to yourself? Although you have taken your revenge on the Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion, is damaging your own reputation worth it?"
"Now, rumors are everywhere in the Capital City that the young miss is promiscuous, and nobody knows with whom she bore an illegitimate child. If this reaches the Emperor, what then!" Qingxia sighed helplessly.
Shao He offered no explanation, merely smiling lightly and said, "Alright, you both should go rest."
