Chapter 387 - 136: Female Guard
Yuehuan returned to the courtyard, her mind not quite back yet. At first, she was quite composed, but when she heard Yueyao say that someone had intentionally tried to kill her, Yuehuan was terrified.
Maternal Aunt Su also received the news and, seeing her daughter’s pale face, immediately guessed Yuehuan’s thoughts: "You don’t think that the Third Young Lady’s problem was caused by Madam, do you?" The Third Young Lady had loudly accused someone of harming her, clearly indicating that Madam was behind it. Such actions of the Third Young Lady are condemnable.
Yuehuan inwardly agreed with Yueyao’s suspicion. That road wasn’t used only by their carriage, and many other carriages had passed without incident. Why had only the carriage Yueyao was riding in had an accident? It was hard not to be suspicious. Though that’s what she thought, she dared not show it on her face. Yuehuan was now cautious around Maternal Aunt Su and naturally couldn’t speak freely. "Maternal Auntie, I just feel that the Third Young Lady’s suspicion makes sense. This incident indeed is very strange," she said.
Maternal Aunt Su was convinced it was an accident.
Yuehuan purposefully asked, "Maternal Auntie, if it was an accident, then why would Third Sister say someone deliberately tried to harm her? Why would she do such a thing?" Yuehuan knew in her heart that, even if it were an accident, Yueyao would staunchly claim that it wasn’t an accident but a deliberate act of harm.
Maternal Aunt Su paused at Yuehuan’s question, then laughed and stroked her hair: "The Third Young Lady says so because she surely has her motives."
Yuehuan looked confused. "What could she be scheming?" She pondered a moment then asked cautiously, "Maternal Auntie, is the Third Young Lady plotting against Madam? Maternal Auntie, Madam has always been after the Third Young Lady’s wealth, is it now that the Third Young Lady is also taking action against Madam?" Yuehuan actually found Yueyao’s behavior very strange. If Yueyao was seeking revenge, this method was too gentle.
Maternal Aunt Su was shocked, then spoke very sternly, "Fourth Miss, such words must never be spoken again."
Yuehuan lowered her head.
