Chapter 108: Chapter 108 ... Truly Insane

The room was brightly lit, thoroughly illuminated by lamps.

Shen Hua slept very deeply.

"Marquis, no one has entered or exited your room since the servant cleaned it in the morning. Even the maids sent by Nanny Wang were chased out early."

Ji Xin replied respectfully, genuinely unaware of why Cui Yun, who was about to rest, summoned her for questioning again.

Normally, Cui Yun would have inquired in detail about the incident at Cui Xuan’s place in the afternoon, but at this moment, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

"How can there be the smell of alcohol in the room?"

Ji Xin appeared confused for a moment.

"No, there isn’t."

"The incense burning in the Marquis’s room is calming incense."

She can’t smell it?

Cui Yun looked again at Ji Qing, who was clearly also puzzled. But he was sure he wasn’t mistaken about the smell.

The young man let out a cold laugh.

"Prepare the horse."

Sanqing Temple.

The Sanqing Taoist had not yet retired for the night. When Cui Yun entered, they exchanged glances.

Sanqing Taoist, holding a white chess piece, said: "I’ve long calculated that you would come. You’ve kept me waiting."

"Just in time, see how to break this game."

Cui Yun pursed his lips, suppressing the unrest in his heart: "Take a look for me, am I bewitched again?"

Sanqing Taoist looked at Cui Yun with pity: "Are you being overly suspicious and imaginative?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Yun turned around and walked away.

"What a temper! Who are you showing that face to? Come back here!"

The playful smile on Sanqing Taoist’s face also disappeared.

"Where’s your Vajra Bodhi Bracelet?"

Cui Yun raised his hand, the sleeve slid down, and the smooth beads were revealed: "I’ve always been wearing it."

"If you always harbor good thoughts and refrain from killing, what do you have to worry about? Who could scheme against you? Can’t my gift of a Vajra Bodhi Bracelet counter those despicable sorceries? Who do you look down upon? This is passed down from the ancestors! If not for my acquaintance with your father, I wouldn’t have parted with it for you!"

Cui Yun did not believe that the Sanqing Taoist would have any acquaintance with Cui Yang.

However, the Taoist indeed gave it to him.

Sanqing Taoist puffed out his beard and glared.

"Having given it to you, it means that the bracelet’s destiny is with you. As for your destiny..."

It had already arrived.

He smiled enigmatically.

"Come here."

"Finish the game before leaving."

Cui Yun seemed anxious: "Am I really all right?"

"What could possibly be the matter? Could it be that you’ve encountered a ghost?"

Cui Yun returned to the Marquis Mansion with a heavy heart; it was already broad daylight. Tired from the turn of events and a night without sleep, he was utterly exhausted.

But there were hidden concerns. Facing the tightly closed room door, Cui Yun hesitated for a moment, then without any hesitation, he pushed it open.

The faint, familiar scent inside the room, just like always. The window was half-open, allowing ventilation.

Cui Yun’s expression hardened, and he quickly strode toward the bed.

The perplexing alcohol smell that troubled him all night had vanished without a trace.

As if it had never existed.

————

Shen Hua woke up, still in the Marquis Yangling Mansion.

The suffocation from the drunkenness made it hard for her to even breathe.

Despair, a loathing for life. Utter dejection. It was as if a tight, impenetrable cover firmly sealed her in.

Shen Hua didn’t want to face it and covered her mouth in agony, crying softly.

She had just come of age; why did she have to endure so much? She was so tired.

When Cui Yun returned, Shen Hua remained motionless, huddled in a corner.

Cui Yun, with an expressionless face, circled the room a few times, and Shen Hua continued to shrink into the corner.

Fortunately, Cui Yun couldn’t see her.

Facing the empty room, Cui Yun could no longer resist sleepiness. He sighed heavily and lay down.

Close your eyes.

The young voice was low, as if whispering.

"Truly mad."

Just because they had been victim to it once, they saw threats in every shadow.

Shen Hua turned her head with a lifeless gaze to look at Cui Yun.

She wanted to kick Cui Yun off, but then she remembered this was Cui Yun’s bed. It only fueled her irritation even more.

On the first day, Shen Hua licked her wounds.

On the second day, Shen Hua lay on the windowsill in a gloomy mood. Her resentment was deeper than anyone’s, the girl lost in thought. Huh? Why hadn’t she gone back yet???

On the third day, Shen Hua followed Cui Yun with her head hung low in defeat.

It also took Cui Yun several days to reluctantly accept the shock Shen Hua had brought him. Once he had calmed himself, his first order of business was to settle accounts.

He went to the octagonal pavilion in the Marquis Mansion’s garden. He sat down to taste tea.

"Summon Madam here."

"Yes."

When Cui Xuan arrived, Ji Qing was already there with Nanny Wang kneeling before Cui Yun. Behind Nanny Wang, a line of trembling servants belonged to the late Madam.

Behind them stood a bewildered servant from the Marquis Mansion.

She looked shocked at first, then turned to look at Cui Yun.

Cui Yun poured a cup of tea with a calm demeanor, inviting Cui Xuan to sit down.

"Such a grand display..."

"Mama, don’t be hasty," Cui Yun interrupted with a smile.

Although Cui Yun was not as steady as Cui Bai, and sometimes acted erratically, he had never left anyone with grounds for criticism over the years.

With things as they were, Cui Xuan understood that Cui Yun was avenging her, feeling relieved for a moment and then sad the next.

Relieved by Cui Yun’s filial piety, yet saddened that among those who had stood up for her over the years, Marquis Cui Yang had never been one of them.

Nanny Wang had also been on tenterhooks for days because of the incident with Yu’er. When her deceit was exposed, she immediately sent the person back.

She hastily tried to exonerate herself.

"Second Young Master, it was my fault for not seeing that vile Maid’s hidden malice. Had I known, I would not have sent her to you to bring shame upon us."

"Madam even came into my dreams to severely rebuke me for my incompetence."

"Please, for her sake, forgive this old woman."

She truly could not stop mentioning the late Madam.

Cui Xuan set down her tea cup forcefully. She knew something was off upon hearing this. She was only aware that Yu’er had been sent away that day.

At the time, she was just relieved and did not inquire further.

Now, Cui Xuan’s heart skipped a beat.

What did she mean by hidden malice?

"What does she mean by that?"

Cui Yun glanced at Ji Xin, who with a proud and indignant look, glared at Nanny Wang. Ji Xin described the whole incident vividly, not forgetting to dramatize it.

Even the most patient person would be angered.

Cui Xuan’s beautiful eyes were filled with rage.

Neither the Dowager in the mansion nor she herself as a mother had arranged women for their legitimately born grandson’s backyard. Yun, at thirteen, was not like other young masters who might have maids prepared early for their initiation, and the Marquis Mansion never had such a custom!

Who allowed her to take charge of the Cui family’s matters?

Thinking of that Maid tempting Cui Yun, Cui Xuan felt like she had a fishbone stuck in her throat. It was as disgusting as swallowing a fly.

"Someone, slap this trickster’s mouth!"

Nanny Wang: "Second Madam can’t hit me, I belong to the late Madam, the Wu family..."

Cui Xuan interrupted coldly: "I’ve repeatedly refrained from action just for the sake of the late Madam, so you think I’m afraid of the Wu family?"

"Old Master Wu might be Your Majesty’s mentor, but I am also a legitimate daughter from Marquis Yongchang’s Mansion!"

"You are now a servant of the Marquis Mansion, not the Wu family! If you miss your old master, you can go back. In fact, I’d like to go to the Wu family myself and ask what they’re really planning!"

She gave the order.

"Nanny Wang and company have been disrespectful and deceitful; the servants from the late Madam’s courtyard did not advise against it, each to receive twenty strokes. Once beaten, send them all to the Wu Residence! I will see if the Wu family dares to make a fuss."

Cui Yun’s lips curled up slightly.

"Mama, there’s no need to be angry."

Cui Yun ignored the pleading servants left by the late Madam, but as a warning, he asked the crowd of Marquis Mansion’s servants.

"Now, have you all clearly seen who is truly the Madam of the Marquis Mansion?"
