After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven

Seeing that Yu Qingli didn't say anything, Jiang Bai kowtowed three times. His forehead hit the bluestone slab, leaving bloody bruises, which looked very creepy.

Mei Hong behind her looked at Yu Qingli in front of her and dared not say anything. She was secretly wondering why the young lady was so cruel today, as she used to be a person who would feel soft-hearted even if she stepped on an ant.

Yu Qingli raised her eyebrows. She wanted to see if Jiang Bai would die in front of her if she didn't speak up. As the chief steward of the Yu Mansion and a close confidant of her father for more than ten years, she was afraid that her mother's death was also related to him.

Jiang Bai continued to kowtow. Yu Zhengsha, who was standing by, couldn't stand it any longer and shouted coldly, "That's enough, Yu Qingli. Have you had enough? If you want to reset the mourning hall, it's up to you."

Yu Qingli was waiting for Yu Zhengsha to say this. She was challenging Yu Zhengsha's bottom line, even at the cost of having to bear the reputation of being fierce.

"Half a day," Yu Qingli said coldly to Jiang Bai, "I'll only give you half a day to restore my mother's mourning hall. Everyone in the mansion should wear mourning clothes again, and hang funeral couplets outside the door. I want everyone to know that my mother's death has not yet ended, and anyone can come to pay their respects."

"Yes"

After Yu Qingli finished speaking, she turned away. Mei Hong was stunned for a moment, then quickened her pace to catch up with her.

After returning to the inner room, Yu Qingli collapsed to the ground as if she had lost her soul. She curled up and hugged herself tightly with her hands, but she still couldn't stop the bone-chilling cold. It was almost summer, so why did she still feel as cold as in winter?

Yu Qingli bit her lips tightly, trying to suppress the pain in her heart. She raised her head, trying not to let the tears in her eyes fall down, and kept calling out in her heart, "Mother, mother, if you are still alive in heaven, please bless your daughter to get her revenge."

"Miss, Miss, are you okay?"

Concerned words were accompanied by a rapid knock on the door. It was Mei Hong

Yu Qingli calmed down, stood up from the ground and opened the door.

Mei Hong noticed the red marks under Yu Qingli's eyes at a glance. Judging from the lady's appearance, she must have been hiding and crying. Poor lady.

Mei Hong couldn't help but sniff, lamenting in her heart why the world was so unfair. Her young lady was so kind, yet how could her mistress die an untimely death in the end without even a complete body.

Yu Qingli's frail body seemed like a candle in the wind, about to collapse at any moment, but she was holding on with sheer willpower. Her large eyes stood out more and more clearly on her bloodless face, and her lips were almost bitten through. The bright red blood beads finally added a touch of color to her face, but it only made her look even uglier.

"Miss"

Before she could utter any words of concern, Yu Qingli interrupted her with a wave of her hand.

"Meihong, go get the title deed to this house, and then go to the Yu Family Ancestral Hall to send out invitations. Have all the respected relatives and elders of the Yu Family come to my Yu Mansion and tell them that there's something important going on."

Mei Hong was confused. What was the lady going to do?

Yu Qingli waved her hand and said, "Go quickly."

Mei Hong then left in a hurry. Since it was the young lady's order, she must have her reasons. How could she, a little girl, understand so much? She just had to do as she was told. Besides, her young lady was the most talented woman in Canghe, so her thoughts were naturally different from others.

After Mei Hong left, Yu Qingli walked into the room and unpacked the luggage that Mei Hong had previously asked her to pack.

It was a wooden box that was not too big, somewhat like the bookcases that students traveling for study often carried. This was the excuse she had used to deceive Mei Hong before. Yu Qingli carefully opened the box, took out the few books, and then activated the secret compartment. A small square box was exposed in front of Yu Qingli.

Yu Qingli's eyes were deep, and she took out the rough-made wooden box with trembling hands. This was her mother's

That day, she exchanged her mother's ashes with Zhou's and carried her mother's ashes with her. She was determined not to hand over the ashes to anyone else before she had properly placed her mother.

Yu Qingli carefully placed the wooden box containing the ashes on the table, and reached out to take out another square object from the bookcase. After opening the brocade robe wrapped around it, a piece of fine jade shone with charming colors. It was Yu Zhengsha's official seal.

A sneer crossed Yu Qingli's lips. She wondered if her upright and unyielding father would bend his knees for this official seal.

She's really looking forward to it.

Yu Qingli wrapped the official seal in her brocade robe again, then lifted up the hem of her skirt and tucked it into her waist. There, a small brocade bag had been prepared, neither too big nor too small, just enough to hold the official seal. The seal was covered by the layers of silk, and not even a trace of it could be seen.

On a tree not far from the window, a pair of phoenix eyes took in the entire scene, and then a crescent shape appeared in their eyes, adding a bit of life to the already handsome and evil face.

This woman who secretly kept the official seal was really bold. What kind of secrets were hidden in her small body? Murong Yanhui suddenly became very curious.

The study in Yu Mansion is simple yet elegant, and its furnishings reveal the owner's elegant taste.

There was a small pot of orchid on the fine sandalwood table beside the bed. Facing the door was a large desk. A few books were symbolically placed on the bookshelf next to it. Most of the compartments were filled with various valuable small items.

Yu Zhengsha sat behind the desk with a serious expression on his face. His square and resolute face was slightly frowned, and there was a bit of anxiety in his expression. Standing opposite the desk was his right-hand man, Jiang Bai.

At this moment, they seemed to be discussing something extremely serious, and their expressions were very serious.

"Haven't you found it yet?" Yu Zhengsha's face was rarely filled with sadness.

Jiang Bai lowered his head, looking guilty, "I am useless, please punish me, sir."

Yu Zhengsha waved his hand. What was the point of punishing him? Now that the official seal was missing, how could he go to the capital to see the emperor? A few days ago, an approval document came from the palace, asking him to go to the capital as soon as possible. He had been away from the capital for many days, and I am afraid that a large number of documents had piled up to be approved. Why did he lose the official seal at this time?

This is a capital crime.

Therefore, Yu Zhengsha did not dare to leak any information and only ordered Jiang Bai, whom he trusted the most, to search secretly, but in the end, nothing was found.

Yu Zhengsha lowered his head and was silent for a while, as if thinking of something, "Jiang Bai, have you looked at the fire scene?"

Jiang Bai nodded, "We've already searched everywhere we should. I even went to the fire scene myself, but found nothing." Jiang Bai paused, "Master, have you remembered something?"

Yu Zhengsha shook his head, feeling a little strange. He had already searched everywhere he should have, so why did the official seal disappear as if it had wings?

A thought flashed through Yu Zhengsha's mind, but he quickly rejected it. No, it shouldn't be.

At this moment, a hint of hesitation flashed across Jiang Bai's face as he stood opposite the desk, as if he had something to say.

The master and servant looked at each other, both of them were shocked. From each other's gaze, they seemed to be thinking of the same person.

"Miss"

"Yu Qingli"

Yu Zhengsha frowned and stood up from his chair involuntarily. "Yes, it must be her. The official seal must have fallen into the fire that day. If it wasn't her who took it, who else could have taken it?"

The anger rose in an instant, "This evil creature..."

"Master, calm down. This is just our speculation. Maybe it wasn't taken by the young lady. Besides, why would the young lady want the official seal?"

Yu Zhengsha snorted coldly and sat back heavily in his chair. The back of the chair seemed to tremble because of the anger emanating from him.

"Ever since Li's death, this girl has become increasingly incomprehensible. If she really took the official seal, she probably wanted to use it to blackmail me."

Jiang Bai lowered his head and said with emotion: "This young lady is indeed very different from before."

"Same or different, she is still my daughter, Yu Zhengsha. If the official seal is really in her hands, I am not afraid that she will not hand it over."

An extremely cruel light flashed in Yu Zhengsha's eyes, which had always been resolute. He was as murderous as a vulture circling high in the sky when it saw its prey. Even Jiang Bai, who had followed Yu Zhengsha for many years, couldn't help but shrink in his heart when he saw this.

Anyone who stands in my way will die

This has always been Yu Zhengsha's life motto. He can be a good husband and a good father. He has never been negligent in his family and children's education. However, if anyone dares to block his future, don't blame him for being heartless.

"Jiang Bai, I'll leave this matter to you. Find out whether the official seal is in Yu Qingli's hands."

"Yes"

Jiang Bai turned and left the study, while Yu Zhengsha sank completely into the huge chair. The sunlight shone in through the window lattice, casting a shadow on the bookshelf. Yu Zhengsha's face was completely hidden in the shadow, and it was dark and unclear. Only the stern look on his face had not faded for a long time, which made people feel a little chill for no reason.

Jiang Bai is indeed an old servant who has been with Yu Zhengsha for many years. Apart from anything else, his efficiency in doing things is indeed somewhat similar to Yu Zhengsha's decisiveness.

In less than two hours, the entire mansion had been rearranged. The bright red lanterns were taken down one by one, and the white curtains and elegiac couplets were rearranged immediately. Even the plaque at the door had the words "Upright Yu Mansion" covered with white and black gauze.

With this arrangement, a solemn and sad atmosphere permeated the Yu Mansion. Even the voices of the maids and those walking were lowered, as if they were afraid of disturbing the spirits of the ancestors in the mansion.

At this moment, in the specially decorated boudoir, Yu Qingli was taking the somewhat humiliating title deed from the hands of her maid Mei Hong.

"Miss, I have already gone to the ancestral hall to inform them as you instructed. The elders of the clan said that they will be present on time tomorrow."

"You did a great job." Yu Qingli's voice was very soft and faint, as if she was praising him, but there was no trace of joy in her voice.

Mei Hong glanced at Yu Qingli who was sitting behind the table. She looked so calm and composed, so unmoved even if the sky was falling. She looked more and more like the master.
