Chapter 440: In Danger

Translator: Atlas Studios       Editor: Atlas Studios

The red silk inkstone should be a mid-autumn festival gift from her cousin in advance.

She told her cousin that he had to remember to give her gifts during the holidays in the future.

Her cousin had always remembered.

The red silk inkstone was only a red silk inkstone. The reason why Yu Youyao couldn’t bear to part with it wasn’t because of how rare or expensive it was, or even the details on it. It was how every extraordinary thing behind it expressed her cousin’s appreciation for her.

Only someone who treated you sincerely would risk everything to find the rarest treasure in the world for you.

This was because in his heart, you were also a supreme treasure in the world. Only a supreme treasure in the world was worthy of the supreme treasure in his heart. The red silk stone was like this.

Only someone who treated you sincerely would spend more time and effort to prepare the rarest treasure in the world for you, the treasure in his heart. To him, she was as valuable as the red silk inkstone.

Yu Youyao understood immediately.

Yu Youyao took out a seal and signed it. “How’s the situation in Shandong?” Yin San did not hide anything. “Fourth Young Master Leng died tragically. The Leng Residence looked for Li Qiguang and asked him to uphold justice. The Leng Residence asked Seventh Young Master Mu to pay with his life, but the Mu Residence was unwilling and was willing to pay the price to compensate the Leng Residence for the losses. Both sides were at a stalemate. Just as the Imperial Court’s army was approaching, Li Qiguang did not want to make a fuss and planned to suppress this matter for the time being.

Fourth Young Master Leng had died tragically in public. For the sake of the family’s reputation and dignity, the Leng Residence wanted justice. Only when Seventh Young Master Mu paid with his life would this matter be over.

However, the Mu Residence was also a clan. How could their bloodline be beaten and killed by the Leng Residence? If they really followed the Leng Residences wishes, where would the reputation and dignity of the Mu Residence go?

Everything was negotiable when it came to interests.

However, this involved the reputation of the clan that had been passed down for many years. It would undoubtedly provoke and even shake the foundation of the clan.

The conflict between the Mu Residence and the Leng Residence was irreconcilable, and the alliance of the clans was in danger.

Indeed!

Yin San changed the topic and said, “However, the Jinan Residence did not relent and forcibly detained Seventh Young Master Mu on the charge of premeditated murder. Even though the Mu Residence is powerful, we could only ask Li Qiguang to step in to manage the people as they’ve done since ancient times. However, the Jinan Residence did not give Li Qiguang face, so Li Qiguang was helpless.”

Once the Imperial Court was involved in the internal matters of the clan, it would become very complicated.

Yu Youyao thought about it carefully and understood. “The Imperial Court’s army is pressing down on the border, and the Jinan Residence represents the Imperial Court’s rule. At this juncture, if anything happens to the Jinan

Residence, it will undoubtedly be a provocation to the Imperial Court. The Imperial Court will definitely send troops immediately. The Mu Residence and the Leng Residence will become enemies, and the alliance of the clans will be unstable. No matter how arrogant Li Qiguang is, he won’t dare to touch the Jinan Residence, so the Jinan Residence is fearless.”

If it were any other time, the Jinan Residence would definitely give Li Qiguang or even the Mu Residence some face.

Now that the Imperial Court was suppressing the rebellion, the officials had the support of the army, so they were naturally fearless.

Yin San nodded. “On the third night of Seventh Young Master Mu l s imprisonment, he was poisoned and died. When the Mu Residence received the news, they were furious and thought that it was done by the Leng Residence. The conflict between the two sides has deepened or even worsened.”

Yu Youyao smiled. “Seventh Young Master Mu was poisoned and died in the prison of the government office The Jinan Residence can’t escape responsibility. Be it the Mu Residence or Li Qiguang, both of them will suspect that the Leng Residence and the Jinan Residence are colluding. Therefore, the Jinan Residence imprisoned Seventh Young Master Mu so that the Leng

Residence can attack him in the prison. The Jinan Residence and the Leng Residence have formed a natural alliance. The clans led by the Leng Residence have already been forced to be involved with the Imperial Court and stand against Li Qiguang. The clan alliance has already collapsed.”

There was a kind of grievance in this world that couldn’t be washed away even if it was poured into the Yellow Sea.

There were complicated interests between the clan and Li Qiguang. Even though the Leng Residence was on bad terms with the Mu Residence, they still had to give Li Qiguang some face.

Therefore, to completely dismantle the alliance of the clans, they still needed to further plan on the basis of the clans becoming enemies.

Seventh Young Master Mu’ s death from poisoning in the prison of the government office was the most important part of the plan. It was enough to make Li Qiguang think that the Leng family had already betrayed him!

Li Qiguang might be a little suspicious.

With the Imperial Court’s army coming down hard, Li Qiguang would no longer trust the Leng Residence.

On the other hand, the Leng family would only take it for granted that Li Qiguang was biased towards the Mu family.

They would only become more and more dissatisfied with Li Qiguang.

In this world, an alliance that could dismantle benefits was never about human lives, let alone benefits. It was about trust that was not very strong to begin with.

This strategy of sowing discord was too brilliant.

Yin San nodded. “The clans led by the Mu Residence have joined forces to denounce the Leng Residence. The Leng Residence isn’t afraid of the Mu Residence, but they’re very afraid of Li Qiguang. They might as well go all out and secretly cooperate with the Jinan Residence. Young Master plans to send troops in September to officially suppress Li Qiguang.”

Yu Youyao calmed down and went to the kitchen.

When Mother Zhao saw her coming over, she quickly smiled. “The weather is hot today, and the kitchen is stuffy and dirty. Just tell me what you plan to do.

Don’t do it yourself.”

Yu Youyao smiled and said, ‘Grandmother doesn’t have a good appetite. I thought that the Mid-Autumn Festival would be in a few days, and I happened to be free today, so I wanted to make some mooncakes. I think Grandmother will be willing to eat a few more mouthfuls.”

Her cousin couldn’t come back for the Mid -Autumn Festival, so she planned to make some mooncakes and ask Yin San to bring them to him.

Although they couldn’t enjoy the reunion of the moon together, they were still happy.

Mother Zhao smiled until her eyes narrowed. “The kitchen is also preparing to make mooncakes. Everything is ready. I’ll help you make whatever you want.”

Eldest Miss wanted to be filial to Old Madam when she made mooncakes. How could she stop her?!

“I’m afraid Cousin won’t be able to make it back in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. Make more and send some to him.”

Her cousin did not like many snacks, but he had a special interest in the Eight Treasures Cake. Yu Youyao planned to make the Eight Treasures Cake inspired mooncakes and add some salty dried fruit filling.

Mother Zhao quickly agreed.

Yu Youyao worked in the kitchen for the entire afternoon before the mooncakes were freshly baked. She added some spiritual dew and sent a plate to Old Madam Yu. The rest was sent to the Jade Courtyard.

Those without spiritual dew were distributed to all parts of the residence.

Yu Youyao handed a wooden box with the mooncakes wrapped in oil paper and a reply letter to Yin San. “Tell Cousin to take care of his health. I’ll wait for him to return triumphantly.”

During dinner, Old Madam Yu was stunned when she saw a plate of mooncakes on the table. “In the blink of an eye, it’ll be the Mid-Autumn Festival in four to five days.”

The war in Shandong was still in a stalemate, but there were already many bad rumors spreading outside.

The third division’s trial was still under review, and many people had already been implicated.

The emperor in the palace was not doing well either.

This year was filled with problems, so it was unlikely that this festival would be lively..
