Chapter 43 Conspiracies Were Everywhere

Dugu Muyou turned and looked at the door. After she made a sound, the movement outside suddenly stopped. She was about to have a look, and there was the sound of rustling outside.

Dugu Muyou waited quietly. After a while, the door was opened. A cowardly maid appeared and tipped her head. And she looked in Dugu Muyou's direction. Her face was slightly pale, and her eyes were timid as if she had been frightened just now.

Dugu Muyou frowned with displeasure. She looked coldly at the maid, and her tone was very rude.

"What are you doing here?"

The little girl was scared. She shrank her neck and looked down at the embroidered shoes on her feet after hearing this. She only raised her head slightly and murmured when she heard the sound of knocking on the table from Dugu Muyou impatiently.

"I am here to inform you, Miss Muyou. There seems to be a quarrel at the main courtyard, and it seems to be related to you."

Dugu Muyou looked at this little maid suspiciously. Although she could not name her, she had seen her before. She was a maid serving in this mansion. Dugu Muyou had a good memory, so she couldn't make it wrong, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her.

"You just need to inform me. Why are you so sneaky?"

Dugu Muyou, who was a killer before, was extremely sensitive to abnormal things, so she asked inquisitively.

When the little maid heard Dugu Muyou say this, her anxious eyes were red, and she was crying in her voice.

"You seem to be busy. I knocked on the door, but no one answered." Dugu Muyou was stunned for a moment. Her feeling was sensitive, but she didn't notice anyone approaching. Was this little girl lying? Or was she so absorbed in her cultivation that she didn't notice her?

Dugu Muyou temporarily put aside her doubts and asked about the news brought by this little maid instead.

"You just said that there was a quarrel in the main courtyard, and it is related to me. What is it?"

"I don't know, Miss Muyou. The gate of the main courtyard is closed. I vaguely heard your name, so I came to inform you, Miss Muyou." The little maid said. Then it seemed that something suddenly occurred to her. Her eyes lit up, and she said, "By the way, Madam Liu is there."

Dugu Muyou took a look at the maid, and the maid lowered her head with a harmless appearance. It seemed that she was well-behaved.

Did Madam Liu go to the main courtyard? Before Dugu Zhong sent someone to find Dugu Qinglan, it didn't take long. After a while, there was a quarrel at the main courtyard about Dugu Muyou.

Dugu Muyou was thinking. The little maid's eyes rolled, and she said, "Miss Muyou, I just brought the words for you. May I ask for leave first?" When she finished speaking, she turned around and left.

"Eh! Wait for a moment."

Dugu Muyou stopped her, reached out her hand and clasped the wrist of the little maid.

"Who asked you to find me?"

A hesitation flashed in the eyes of the little maid, and then she said, "It's Madam Liu who asked me to come."

Dugu Muyou smiled and said, "Really? Then you can go to the main courtyard with me."

"I will not go because I have other things to do."

The little maid struggled slightly, but Dugu Muyou tightly clasped her wrist with one hand. She forcibly led her to the main courtyard.

The main courtyard was closed as the maid said, and there were guards outside the door. Seeing Dugu Muyou coming, they consciously opened the door and let her in. As soon as Dugu Muyou entered the yard, she heard a familiar voice coming from it.

"Who doesn't know about her in Jinnan Kingdom? She is such a useless waste in the direct line of our family, who loses our face for more than ten years. She is such a well-known waste, but now she is practicing the core cultivation method of our family. If this matter is known by others, won't others laugh out loud? Other families will come to laugh at our family!"

The speaker was Dugu Zhong's third concubine, Zhao Xue. She acted high-profile because of Dugu Zhong's favor. She would appear everywhere in the family. With her loud voice, nobody would forget her.

Zhao Xue had three children. The eldest son was Dugu Haoyu, who had ordinary cultivation aptitudes and stayed in blue rank. He would not become a master in the future. Dugu Haoyu had no ambitions or opinions, so he liked following his sister. He did whatever Dugu Piaopiao said. He was very obedient. Her second child was Dugu Piaopiao, who was Zhao Xue's favorite child. The third child was the youngest son, Dugu Lengying, who was only six years old now.

The people in the courtyard kept arguing. Dugu Zhong said in a thick voice, "Didn't I say it? Muyou is able to cultivate because her meridians were opened by an expert. She can practice now, so don't mention anything about it in the future."

"Even if her meridians are opened up, she will not get any achievement in the future. She has been a waste for so many years. Even if she can cultivate now, she is a waste. How can she get the core cultivation method? You were not willing to give it to Haoyu no matter how hard I begged you in the past. Forget it! He is not lucky. But why don't you give it to Piaopiao, who has such a good talent? Why can't she get the core cultivation method? Why do you give it to the waste? I am not convinced!"

Zhao Xue was sad and indignant, and her eyes were red. She wiped with a kerchief.

"Why do you say Muyou is a waste? she is fully equipped to practice the core cultivation method."

Dugu Qinglan's calm voice sounded in the courtyard. Even at this time, she did not act excessively.

Zhao Xue didn't look at Dugu Qinglan and kept wiping her fake tears. She said to Dugu Zhong, "It's because of you! Now in this mansion, even juniors can point to me and talk casually. My life is really hard. Piaopiao suffered so much as my daughter. I really feel sorry for her."

Dugu Muyou walked to the lobby of the main courtyard and gave Zhao Xue, who was inside, a glance. There was a little boy standing behind her. At this moment, he was holding Zhao Xue's skirt and showing his small head. He looked curiously at Dugu Qinglan.

Dugu Zhong, with a little guilt on his face, was about to say something. He hesitated for a while, looked at Dugu Qinglan, and said, "When the elders are talking, don't interrupt. I have a sense of propriety."

When he said, Zhao Xue smiled under the handkerchief, and Dugu Muyou happened to see this when she came in. An embarrassment flashed across Liu Pianpian's face on the other side. Dugu Qinglan frowned and shook her mother's hand.

Liu Pianpian was Dugu Zhong's wife, but Zhao Xue was just a concubine. She had no right to be so arrogant in front of Liu Pianpian or Dugu Qinglan, but Dugu Zhong was particularly good to her. It could also be seen from the three children that Zhao Xue gave birth.

Everyone in the room quickly noticed Dugu Muyou. A middle-aged man, who looked a little similar to Dugu Zhong, smiled with a sense of joke. There was a bit of teasing in his voice. "Brother, the leading role is coming."

This man was Dugu Zhong's eldest brother, Dugu Xiao.

Liu Pianpian quickly pulled Dugu Muyou over and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

There was a bit of worry and disapproval in her voice, and Dugu Qinglan on the side showed the same expression.

Dugu Muyou was pulling the little maid. At this time, the little maid's head was so low that it couldn't be lower, like a trumpet flower that failed to bloom. Dugu Muyou tugged and brought the maid to the front.

"She said that she got your order to inform me of coming to the main courtyard."

After listening, Liu Pianpian swept across the maid's body with her sharp gaze and said in a deep voice, "Why I don't remember this?"

What happened here was aimed at Dugu Muyou, but Liu Pianpian never intended to let Dugu Muyou appear or to be scolded by everyone at all. But this maid ruined her plan and even led Dugu Muyou to the main courtyard in her name without authorization.

The maid shook her whole body. Liu Pianpian was gentle, but it didn't mean she had no power. She had a good way of disciplining the disobedient servants. It depended on her mood. Liu Pianpian didn't have time to pay attention to such a maid now, but this maid wouldn't have a good life in the future.

Zhao Xue glanced at the maid and muttered in a voice that no one could hear, "Useless things!"

Dugu Lengying beside her suddenly smiled with surprise and ran towards Dugu Muyou.

"Sister Muyou."

The six-year-old boy threw himself into Dugu Muyou's arms, arching his head straight on her body. His pinkish face wrinkled, and he complained, "I haven't seen you for many days. Where did you go? Why don't you take me?"

Dugu Muyou smiled, too. She rubbed his head with a hand. In her memory, this child was very close to her. Although she was at odds with his mother and his sister Dugu Piaopiao, Muyou had a good impression of Dugu Lengying.

"Lengying, come back soon!"

Zhao Xue looked cold and tugged away Dugu Lengying, scolding him in her mind that he lived on her while helping others secretly.

"No. I want to play with Sister Muyou!"

Dugu Lengying was unwillingly pulled away by his mother, and the boy's childish voice sounded in the hall.

"How dare you!" Zhao Xue scolded and ordered a woman on the side, "Take him out. This is not a place for him to play."

The woman walked out with the struggling Dugu Lengying. When he reached the door, Dugu Lengying did not forget to turn back and shout, "Sister Muyou, I will look for you next time." Before he finished, he was taken away.

"He's just a child. Why do you treat him so harshly?" Liu Pianpian said when she saw this.

Zhao Xue glanced at her disdainfully, "It's none of your business. He's my child."

"Then what about this maid? I remember that she is the maid in your yard, but now she is so ambitious and courageous. How dare she spread the fake news in my name! Since you have no ability to discipline, I can do that for you." Liu Pianpian said.

The little maid looked at Zhao Xue tremblingly, and her eyes were full of helplessness, but she did not dare to say anything.

"It depends on you."

Zhao Xue glanced at the maid in disgust. She didn't finish her task perfectly, so Zhao Xue would not give her a good face.

"That's all." Dugu Zhong waved his hand impatiently. "Go back and teach them. Don't say it here." Dugu Zhong glanced at his old brother, Dugu Xiao, who was waiting to laugh at him.

"Master, it hasn't come to a conclusion about the core cultivation method yet." Zhao Xue said reluctantly.

Dugu Zhong glanced at Dugu Xiao again and said, "Qinglan did the right thing because Muyou can cultivate this core cultivation method. That's all. Go back and have a rest."

Dugu Zhong's small actions were seen by Dugu Muyou. Dugu Xiao was Dugu Zhong's elder brother, who should be the host of the Dugus according to the birth order. However, Dugu Zhong was powerful than him and took this position. Dugu Xiao had a grudge in his mind, so he wished that Dugu Zhong could do something bad. He could attack him with his mistakes. Dugu Zhong had some scruples about his brother now, so he wanted to end this quickly.

But seeing many people in this hall, it might not end so easily.

After hearing Dugu Zhong's words, Zhao Xue was shocked immediately with tears streaming down. She started crying on the spot.
