Chapter 28 No Longer Yearning

  Although Madam Si said that she took good care of her body, Shui Yunheng was a man after all. Now that he was furious, he didn't care how heavily his foot kicked.

  Seeing the fourth lady fall to the ground, Cui Cuizhu hurriedly helped her up. Shui Lianyue slightly furrowed her brow and looked over, discovering that her mother's mouth corner was oozing blood stains. She hastily stepped forward and together with Cui Cuizhu, supported her mother up.

  That kick landed right on Fourth Madam's chest, while Shui Yunheng didn't even glance at Fourth Madam, continuing to chatter nonstop. After Shui Lianyue helped her mother wipe away the bloodstain from the corner of her mouth, she swept a fierce gaze across the hall. First Madam, Second Madam, and Third Madam all covered their mouths to stifle their laughter, while Shui Muyao sneered at Shui Lianyue, clearly saying: "Look at you now, how dare you still be so arrogant?"

  At this moment, if it were the former Water Lianyue, these people wouldn't have been able to stand here unscathed. Where would they get the chance to mock her?

  Nowadays she, although not as miserable as before, but what she wants is tactics and strategy.

  "Hmph, I didn't look for you, but you've taken the initiative to make things easy and convenient. You've come to bother me three or five times, causing me to suffer repeatedly. This is even better, it's let me understand your methods. They're nothing more than some women's schemes. Dealing with you, humph, why use a cow knife to kill a chicken?"

  "What's with that look? How is it that you're not satisfied with losing face outside, but also want to rebel at home?" Water Yunheng nagged for a long time, then turned his head and saw Water Lianyue staring at him fiercely. At first, he was taken aback, but afterwards his anger only grew more intense.

  "Master, master, cough... no matter what, Moon is still your biological daughter...", Fourth Madam knew that Master was extremely angry this time. Although when she heard that Shui Lian Yue had gone missing for three years and ended up in such a place, she was also shocked. But in the deep mansion, mother and daughter relied on each other for survival. Even if Moon committed an unforgivable sin, she would still protect her.

  "And you," Shui Yunheng heard the fourth lady's words, and her anger was immediately directed at her. "Look at the good daughter you've taught, you still have the face to say that you yourself are not capable, and even the daughter you've taught is also so unbearable... You... get out, don't let me see you again, otherwise, I'll divorce you."

  The fourth lady never thought that the old master would say such a thing, and her heart ached as tears filled her eyes. In those days, she was a female official serving in the palace of Concubine Yun, in charge of all matters within the palace. Although it wasn't as carefree as outside, it was still considered a great honor, especially since Concubine Yun was highly favored by the emperor. However, it was precisely because of this that she met Shui Yunheng when Concubine Yun's relatives entered the palace.

  Rong's appearance was not outstanding, but she was also a delicate and lovely jade, charming and moving. Yun Heng immediately fell in love with her at first sight and asked his sister, Yun Fei, to be the matchmaker. Yun Fei was Yun Heng's older sister, born of the same mother, and both were legitimate children. Marrying him would have been a good ending for Rong, but it turned out to be just an illusion.

  In the two years before entering the house, she had received all of Shui Yunheng's favor, although there were also three Mrs. Zhao Hanyu who entered with her, and they spent their days in joy, but at that time, Shui Yunheng had already inherited the Shui family, although he was often away, he would never be cold to her, until she gave birth to Yuèr after that, Shui Yunheng gradually seemed to have forgotten her, and even Lanxiang Pavilion didn't come again.

  She didn't bother to argue with him for the time being. The Water family had few male descendants, and the yin energy was strong while the yang energy was weak. She couldn't even give birth to a son, so it wasn't surprising that Shui Yunheng no longer favored her. But now, he dared to say such things, showing that she had misjudged him after all. She thought that by entering the wealthy family, although not as the first wife, but at least as a madam, was far better than being a concubine or a servant girl in other families. It turned out that everything was just her own idea. Men could have multiple wives and concubines, while women were like clothes - if they weren't liked, they would be replaced. She had the title of madam but no actual position.

  Nothing is more sorrowful than the death of one's heart. The words "Water clouds are forever" completely severed all her thoughts, and even the last bit of love left in her heart turned into foam and disappeared.
