Chapter 606: Chapter 617: Cursing Her Speechless

"I... I..." Du Concubine was so shocked she couldn’t speak. Her husband was aware of this ruse, wasn’t he? Hadn’t she always used this tactic of concept-swapping to defeat Du Xintong? Now, Xie Qinyun turned it against her, leaving her brain struggling to keep up.

Seeing Du Concubine stammering, coldness crept into Jie Second Master’s eyes, mixing heartache with anger.

He had treated her so well, always considering her. What should he do if she truly was such a malicious woman?

Xie Qinyun was just a young girl. If he sided with her, wouldn’t his sister make a fuss and turn the world upside down?

Ever since their mother died giving birth to his sister, he had raised her himself. No one knew her character better than he did.

"Speak up!" Jie Second Master bellowed angrily.

Xie Qinyun stood to the side and broke into a grin, feeling immensely satisfied.

She thought to herself, Miss Lin’s tactic really worked wonders. If that vile woman dared to bite back, she would immediately curse her to a bloody pulp, leaving her stifled and speechless.

Once the crime was pinned, any defense would be too late.

What she had learned in the Jie Residence had successfully laid a solid foundation for Xie Qinyun to become a victorious player in future battles within the estate and the imperial harem.

The maids and old servants kneeling beside Du Concubine trembled in fear, and they tried to explain for the stunned Du Concubine, "Second Young Master, our Madam didn’t frame the young miss. It was because..."

Xie Qinyun immediately cut her off, "So you’re saying it was I who pushed her?"

"No, that’s not it..." the old servant hastily replied.

"Get out of the way! When the master is speaking, who allowed you—a servant—to open your mouth?" Jie Second Master kicked the old servant who spoke, then fixed a furious gaze on Du Concubine and demanded, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

In the Jie Residence, when the master spoke, a lesser servant had no right to speak.

No one dared to speak up for Du Concubine anymore, so she said, "I bumped into it myself. Big sister is unwell, I just wanted to express my determination through death..."

Xie Qinyun countered, "What do your life and death have to do with me? Why bring me into it? Dare to frame me, and do you think I’m as easy to bully as Du Xintong, that pushover? Second Brother, you must stand up for me today. I, an unmarried young lady, cannot let Du Concubine unjustly accuse me. Ah, Second Brother..."

Before Xie Qinyun could finish, Jie Second Master had already turned away from her and Du Concubine, lifting the curtain to check on Miss Du.

Du Concubine, filled with shock, hurried to get up and follow.

But her headache was so severe, she ultimately couldn’t get up and sat back down.

Gu Youyou said, "Du Concubine, it’s your head that’s injured; you should be careful. You sit here for now, we’ll go in and have a look."

Xie Qinyun gave Du Concubine a triumphant smile, barely stopping herself from spitting on her.

Lin Qianqing followed Gu Youyou into the inner room where Cuiya, with reddened eyes, kept watch. She wasn’t crying, just very quiet.

Jie Second Master stood by the bedside, his hand halfway extended, then withdrawn.

Hearing she was dying, he couldn’t articulate his feelings. He should be happy, and yet for some reason, there was a stifling discomfort in his chest.

He raised his hand to touch his own head, thinking it might be related to his own head injury.

When she was living well, he had cursed more than once, wishing her dead.

"Jie Second Master, I heard you were about to divorce, but now you’re spared the trouble," Gu Youyou said, her gaze falling on Miss Du’s face, speaking indifferently.

Jie Second Master paused for a moment, then let out a bitter smile.
