Chapter 579: Chapter 590: What Do You Think I Could Do to Her Anymore?

She glanced at the second young master of the Jie Residence, assuming that he would protect her, but unexpectedly, he just stood there, stupefied, lost in thought.

"A little bit?" A little bit could mean anything, depending on how much "a little" actually is.

Considering the importance of the matter, Miss Du shifted her gaze to the second son of the Jie Residence and inquired, "May I ask how the second young master came to know of Wanqing learning Manchu embroidery, have you seen her embroidery works?"

The second son of the Jie Residence looked down at the sobbing Concubine Du and felt there was something not quite right about the situation.

She said she learned by stealing? So, is that why those little tigers were embroidered so ugly?

He wasn’t skilled in embroidery, but he also felt that if she had learned all this while stealing at such a young age, it would have been quite impressive.

However, given that this skill is passed down only to the legitimate descendants and not to the children of concubines, Madam Du would certainly not pass on Manchu embroidery to the child of a concubine, so she must have learned it by stealing.

For some reason, the second son of the Jie Residence felt his mind was in complete disarray.

Seeing that Miss Du and Madam Ru were waiting for his response, he raised his hand in a salute to Madam Ru and started to respond, "This official has indeed..."

"My lord!" Before the second young master could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Concubine Du’s outcry.

She shook her head at him subtly, signaling him not to speak.

Therefore, the words on the tip of the second young master’s tongue became, indeed, he had never seen it.

Both Miss Du and Madam Ru watched their actions clearly and unmistakably.

This second young master of the Jie Residence was trying to cover for Concubine Du, Madam Ru thought, giving Miss Du a look filled with a few more shades of sympathy.

The rumors outside were not false, and it seemed that Miss Du must be having a hard time. No wonder the terms they used with each other were strange, just like how the maids in the Jie Residence addressed Miss Du.

Seeing that the sash was almost mended, Madam Ru sighed, "This is your family’s affair, and I shall not intrude. Xintong, thank you."

Since their interactions were so peculiar, calling Miss Du by her first name, Xintong, appeared more fitting.

Such a remarkable woman, the second son of the Jie Residence did not deserve her.

Miss Du stood up, personally handed the mended sash to Madam Ru, and personally escorted her out.

After Madam Ru got into her carriage, she lifted the curtain and said, "If you have any trouble, come seek me at the imperial villa."

Miss Du understood her meaning and expressed her thanks.

She had no family of her own, and her husband of the Jie Residence was biased toward his concubine. She could only endure any bullying. Helping her was a way of repaying her for mending the sash.

Once the three of them entered the residence and closed the door, the scene changed completely.

Miss Du knew very well what would happen next. She had grown numb to it.

"Say what you have to say quickly. I’m sick and I’ve been burdened all morning; I need to go back and rest."

The second young master couldn’t stand her attitude and said sternly, "Don’t think anyone owes you anything; this is all your doing."

Miss Du sneered, "So your point is that I should just let this slide?"

Because he had misspoken, causing Concubine Du to be stuck in a difficult position, the second young master felt extremely guilty.

Tightly protecting the tearful, trembling Concubine Du behind him.

Miss Du saw this and felt a chill settle into her heart.

Even though she no longer cared, it still hurt her eyes to see.

She said, "I’m this sick, what do you think I could possibly do to her?"

Even if she planned to do something to her, she had no intention of taking action within the Jie Residence. Everything would wait until she left the Jie Residence. As for the matter of stealing the Manchu embroidery knowledge, she would not let it rest.

A maid came in with medicine and saw the three in such a hostile stand-off, uncertain whether to enter or retreat.
