Chapter 128: There’s no escape from calamity

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

Since her mother passed away, the matter of the rear court had been handed over to Madame Yuchi to handle; and, Old Grand Madame had announced her seclusion to practice asceticism.

It was beyond everyone’s expectations that Old Grand Madame came out of her seclusion.

To have Old Grand Madam wield the control of Ye family again?

Was it Ye Tian Kuang’s plan to use Old Grand Madame to keep her might under control?

Or did he want Old Grand Madame to kill her, as she did to her mother ten years ago?

“Miss, it is different from the past. Old Grand Madame used to mistreat you, that is because you could not cultivate Profound Qi!”

Zi Ling was not at the Three Springs Sect before Old Grand Madame’s seclusion.

However, if one stayed at the manor for nearly ten years, they would more or less understand not only the affairs of the manor but also heard of Old Grand Madame’s legend.

“What Old Grand Madame loathed most was the ordinary people who could not cultivate their spirits. As the future young matriarch, Miss could not cultivate Profound Qi before. Old Grand Madame was naturally not as good to you as to the other misses.”

“Miss, Old Grand Madame will be fond of you the way you are now.”

Ye Qing Luo laughed softly. Her eyes charmingly narrowed, revealing a profound mystery.

Fond of her…

That’s very uncertain.

Ye Tian Kuang was also like that. Their Profound Grades determined Ye family’s young generations’ standing.

She was now famous in Three Springs City. According to Ye Tian Kuang’s character, she should have been regarded as a Bodhisattva.

However, on the contrary, Ye Tian Kuang loathed her even more deeply.

This Old Grand Madame…

Ye Qing Luo was afraid she would also not be kind to her, ah!

“OK. There’s a saying, ‘Control soldiers with generals and stem water with the earth.’ Let’s talk about this when the time comes.” Ye Qing Luo put the comb on the desk. While getting up, she smilingly said, “Let’s go to the Mu family.”

Zi Ling took a red muslin coat and draped it on Ye Qing Luo.

The master and servant left the abandoned courtyard.

When Ye Qing Luo was at the ability assessment arena that day, she performed with such brilliance while also having a very close relationship with the Overlord.

The estate’s servants were also people of influence.

At this time, when they saw Ye Qing Luo, every one of them respectfully greeted, “Seventh Young Lady” and “Young Matriarch”.

Over the past few days, countless high ranking officials and dignitaries had come to visit.

But no one could meet Ye Qing Luo.

The servants thought that Ye Qing Luo was not at Three Springs Sect’s estate for a long time.

After Ye Qing Luo left the estate, the servants discussed with one another.

One passed the news to ten people, ten people conveyed them to a hundred, and soon it spread to the end of the main courtyard.

In the main hall of the courtyard, the permeating sandalwood smoke and the neat and rhythmical sound of wooden fish gong made people feel calm and peaceful.

On the chief seat of the hall sat a woman in a dark-colored gown. Her face was lined with wrinkles, and she had a terrifying appearance.

Her slanting eyes squinted like a malicious snake. She had an uncanny coldness in her like the Burma reed plants.

Her whole body emitted a bloody and sinister aura, but she was turning the Buddha prayer beads one after another.

The scene was extremely disharmonious.

She was Ye Tian Kuang’s mother and also Ye family’s Old Matriarch.

“Did Old Seven came out from the abandoned yard?” Old Grand Madame’s loud voice was ear piercing.

A delicate and charming woman stood by Old Grand Madame’s side.

She put her hands on Old Grand Madame’s shoulders and kneaded them well. Her face was wreathed in a gentle smile. “Based on what the servants outside say, Seventh Younger Sister is showing up at last.”

“Let’s call her in. This old woman wanted to take a look at her. I’ve not seen her for ten years. Would she turn the heavens upside down?” Old Grand Madame’s slanting eyes narrowed into a slit.

“Qian’er will call her.” Ye Qing Qian made her salute gently and obediently.

Old Grand Madame looked up and nodded at her.

Ye Qing Qian’s face showed a smug sneer. She said that she’s leaving first and then retreated from the main courtyard.

At the bottom of her heart, she was unable to restrain her triumphant mood.

She couldn’t kill Ye Qing Luo.

However, Old Grand Madame could.

Ye Qing Luo, you wouldn’t be able to escape from calamity this time!
