The Cold-Blooded Queen is Too Seductive

  As expected, at dusk, Wu Guan's family came to the Fourth Madam's courtyard, Lan Xiang Ge, saying that Master had asked the Fourth Madam and Fourth Miss to go to the First Madam's courtyard, Mu Yan Ge.

  Shui Lian Yue didn't need to think about it, she knew that Father let her go must be for the sake of the noon matter. No wonder the big madam didn't make a fuss, it turned out that she was looking for Father to take charge for her.

  Just as mother had taken her medicine and fallen asleep, and she can't even walk ten steps without panting, going to the Musou Pavilion would be a long way, not to mention father doesn't know how he will punish her, if mother's illness gets worse because of this, it won't be good.

  So, he immediately went back to Wu's house and said that his mother had been bedridden with a long illness and couldn't get out of bed, so he didn't let his mother go.

  Wu Guanjia's face naturally didn't look good after hearing this, but since Shui Lianyue's words were beyond doubt, he couldn't say anything and could only compromise.

  The mansion of the Water Governor, winding paths lead to secluded areas, everywhere there are carved corridors and painted pillars, towers, pavilions, and buildings, and countless artificial hills and scenic basins. It is indeed a noble family, with great wealth and extravagance, even their mansions are this luxurious.

  The garden lake is serene, with the crescent moon reflected in the water, rippling gently and breaking into a thousand pieces. The surrounding insects chirp, and the faint scent of flowers wafts into my nostrils, creating a peaceful atmosphere at this moment.

  The further they walked, the more they saw house guards patrolling back and forth, all wearing waist knives. The fragrance grew thicker, like a moonlit lake. If Shuiyue hadn't guessed wrong, they must be approaching Musou Pavilion soon.

  Only a first wife would dare be so arrogant; if it were the second or third wife, they would have been disciplined by the first wife long ago.

  Hong Ying closely followed behind Shui Lian Yue, her heart racing with anxiety. Unexpectedly, the matter still alarmed Master, and she worriedly gazed at Miss's back, her heart feeling as if it was churning like a stormy sea.

  Arrived at the Dusk Smoke Pavilion, inside the candles were lit brightly, and in the courtyard outside, three-colored peonies were planted. By evening, they had not yet wilted, and the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard was even more intense, almost causing Waterside Moon to cough out loud.

  As she entered the house, the maid stood in the room, and right in front of her sat a middle-aged man with no expression on his face. A pair of deep and unfathomable eyes were staring at Shui Lian Yue. Although his face was somewhat handsome, it was clear that he was aging, with wrinkles around his eyes. However, those eyes were very sharp.

  It's likely that this man is her father, although she has memories of Water Ripple Moon, in those memories, this man never appeared, it can be seen that he doesn't care about this daughter at all.

  And beside him was the great lady Liu Ruoyan, who sat to one side, her face tear-stained as if she had just cried, Shui Muyao standing by her side comforting her. When Shui Lianyue walked in, almond eyes filled with anger.

  "Father, you must take charge for Mother's sake. Mother has been busy day and night to make things easier for Father, exhausting herself in the process. But some people are taking advantage of her kindness and not giving her the respect she deserves. Fourth sister just returned to the manor today and doesn't understand many rules and customs, but no matter what, Mother is still the mistress of the house and has a different status and position. Father must take charge for Mother's sake."

  What Shui Muyao said was reasonable and vividly pitiful, even the second and third madams in the lower seats were nodding frequently.

  "Master, I can bear some grievances, but Moon has been living outside for many years and her life is not easy, so she doesn't understand etiquette and speaks rudely to me. As the mistress, I naturally won't argue with her, but... no matter how you look at it, Moon is still the daughter of the Shi family, and if she doesn't understand etiquette and doesn't distinguish between superior and inferior, it's inevitable that in the future, people will gossip and say that our Shi family doesn't know how to teach daughters properly. If one day she marries into the Wang family... won't Master's face be completely lost?"

  Shui Mu Yao had just added fuel to the fire, and Madame began to fan the flames. Shui Lin Yue didn't need to think about it, she knew that in the end, Father would definitely be furious, and she too, couldn't escape being punished.

  No wonder they're mother and daughter, their coordination is truly seamless.

  As expected, Shui Yunheng's face became increasingly gloomy and his breathing more rapid. He pointed at Shui Lianyue and shouted: "Kneel down!"

  Shui Lian Yue was taken aback for a moment, then knelt down? She had never knelt down to anyone since she was born, except for her master, but that was also to pay respects when becoming an apprentice, and she had no choice but to kneel.

  Although she was kneeling in front of her parents, she wasn't actually Water Lian Yue after all, and for a moment, she felt somewhat at a loss.

  "Unfilial daughter, kneel down," Water Cloud Heng said, but Water Ripples Moon remained standing still, her face even more embarrassed.

  "With a thud", in an instant, Shui Lian Yue was kneeling straight on the ground, her phoenix eyes coldly staring at Shui Yun Heng, not making a sound or showing any humility, and even the red tassels behind her were also kneeling on the ground.

  "Where have you been all these years? It's been three years without any news, and now that you're back, you've come back, but why did you stir up the whole family as soon as you returned?" Shui Yunheng was obviously agitated, speaking with spittle flying everywhere, completely disregarding his identity.

  Shui Lianyue shifted her gaze to Madame, staring straight at her. This move startled Madame, who trembled slightly, as if afraid that Shui Lianyue knew something. However, Shui Lianyue had no intention of exposing Madame. She knew that even if she spoke out now, there would be no evidence, and given her lowly status, few people would believe her.

  And she, Water Lian Yue, would be accused of slandering the Grand Madam, having poor conduct and speaking recklessly.

  After some thought, Shui Lian Yue looked at Shui Yun Heng again. Her absolutely beautiful face was exceptionally cold and unfeeling at this moment, but she didn't show any emotions. She said lightly: "Moon child did not humiliate the madam, it's just that the madam's personal maid is extremely arrogant. Moon child only taught her a lesson on behalf of others, but had no intention of disrespecting the madam."

  Shui Lian's words were subtle and didn't mention a single thing about being sold to the brothel, which made Madame feel like a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

  Shui Yun Heng saw Shui Lian Yue's response was unrelated to his question, and he couldn't help but get even angrier. He pointed at Shui Lian Yue and shouted: "I'm asking you again, just answer me directly, what's the point of saying all these irrelevant things?"
