After being divorced, she overturned the capital and seized the empress's position!

"Miss, is the food not to your liking?" Yun Dong asked, puzzled that she hadn't started eating.

Song Yue looked up and saw that Granny Yang was staring at her, her eyes occasionally falling on the food, and she seemed a little anxious.

She stood up with a smile and walked to Yang Mama's side: "Mama is a governess sent by my father. Please have a meal with me."

"Third Miss, this is against the rules," Granny Yang declined.

Song Yue looked completely innocent: "But I don't know table manners. What if my father wants to test the results someday and I make a fool of myself?"

Having said all that, Granny Yang had no reason to refuse, so she sat down and reluctantly picked up her chopsticks, gently placing a fresh bamboo shoot in her bowl: "Handle it gently, don't reach across the river to pick up food..."

Song Yue did as she was told.

Granny Yang simply picked up the food and put it down again, then continued to pick up other dishes while reciting the rules. Song Yue followed suit.

Until Granny Yang asked, "Why aren't you eating, young lady?"

Song Yue looked at Granny Yang with the curiosity of a child: "Granny hasn't taught you yet."

Helpless, Granny Yang had no choice but to bite into two bites.

Song Yue also ate a small bite like a lady, not taking a single extra bite.

After all that fuss, the food was completely cold. Song Yue rubbed her stomach and said, "I can't eat anymore."

Granny Yang was speechless; the dishes on the table had only suffered minor damage.

"Are you not satisfied with these dishes, young lady?" she asked.

"No, it's just that I used to eat this much at the villa, so I'm full."

This reason left Granny Yang speechless. Looking at Song Yue's slender figure, she had no reason to doubt her. While she was in a daze, Song Yue asked Yun Dong to summon the maids serving in Yu Han Courtyard.

There were eight maids in total.

"Every grain is hard-earned, we can't waste them, you can all eat these." Song Yue raised her chin, and the leftovers from her mistress were distributed to her personal maids.

Several maids looked at each other.

However, Granny Yang hesitated, and when faced with Song Yue's sincere expression, the words "not in accordance with the rules" stuck in her throat.

She had no doubt that if she dared to ask, Song Yue would press her for details about what to do with the uneaten food.

We can't just throw it away, can we?

Such a waste.

"What, you're not listening to me anymore?" Song Yue narrowed her eyes.

The eight maids instantly recalled the carnage of the previous night, quickly sat down, and began to wolf down the dishes on the table.

As a maid, she rarely got to eat such good food. Although it was a bit cold, it was still delicious, and soon all the food on the table was gone.

Song Yue then smiled: "That's right. From now on, we'll share both the hardships and the joys. If you follow me, I won't let you suffer."

Ignoring Yang Mama's ashen face, Song Yue instructed Yun Dong, "From today onwards, you will sleep in the same room as Yang Mama."

Yun Dong nodded.

She wanted to see how Yuan Fuling would explain herself when all the maids in the courtyard could diagnose pregnancy!

After the food was removed, Song Yue took a walk in the courtyard under the pretext of digesting her food, with Yun Dong accompanying her. She wondered why Granny Yang wanted to harm her.

She didn't remember offending Granny Yang.

“Young lady, Mama Wang and Granny Yang are cousins. Could it be that Granny Yang is deliberately making things difficult for you because of Mama Wang?” Yun Dong asked.

Song Yue suddenly realized.

No wonder Granny Yang looked at her with such hatred.

Granny Yang...

She looked up at the moonlight, realizing that continuing to be on guard like this wasn't a solution.

"Ling Yi," she called out.

Ling Yi appeared in front of her in a flash: "Miss."

"Go and get me some medicine, the kind that makes wounds rot, the more toxic the better."

Ling Yi nodded without hesitation and soon brought the medicine to Song Yue. Holding the medicine, Song Yue took advantage of the moonlight and nimbly made her way towards Ning'an Hall.

Following my memory from the daytime, I walked toward Aunt Wang's yard.

As she stood hesitating between the two courtyards, unsure which one to choose, she heard curses coming from one of them.

Song Yue has decided on her direction.

Standing at the door, I listened to Aunt Wang cursing and swearing at me.

She curled her lips into a cold smile; such a person deserved to be beaten to death.

While the maidservant went out to change the water, she pushed open the door and went in. Mama Wang had her back to her and snorted, "You shameless wretch, you lowly brat, how dare you scheme against your mistress! I'll make her pay!"

"Is that so?" Song Yue scoffed.

Mrs. Wang was suddenly stunned, and came back to her senses in disbelief, looking at Song Yue with fear and unease, as if she had seen a ghost.

Song Yue walked step by step to the bedside.

"What are you doing? I'm warning you, this is the Grand Madam's courtyard. If you come any closer, I'll call for help."

Song Yue ignored Wang's mother, slapped her unconscious, then lifted her up by the back and poured the entire bottle of medicine onto her wound.

With a hiss, a cloud of white mist rose up.

The wound bled and festered instantly.

Before leaving, Song Yue looked at Wang's mother's right hand. In her past life, it was this hand that had slapped her dozens of times.

She glanced at the scissors in the basket, picked them up, and without hesitation cut off one of Mama Wang's little fingers.

They quietly returned to Yuhan Courtyard.

Under Yun Dong's cover, he returned to the house and placed the remaining half-bottle of medicine next to the makeup box, along with the blood-stained severed finger.

"Aunt, Miss." Yun Dong was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

Song Yue cleaned the blood off her hands: "Are you scared?"

Yun Dong hesitated for a moment and then shook her head: "This servant is not afraid. Miss was forced into it."

She was growing to like Yun Dong more and more.

After tonight, she can get back the indentures of Yun Dong's family.

"girl!"

It was Granny Yang's voice.

Yun Dong was a little flustered, but Song Yue didn't seem to care. She just sat down, holding a book in her hands and looking down at it.

Granny Yang pushed open the door and entered. She smelled a strange odor in the room and quickly found the source: a severed finger next to the makeup box. She was shocked: "How could there be such a thing in the young lady's courtyard?"

"Granny Yang, why don't you take a good look and see whose this is?" Song Yue said without looking up.

Granny Yang was surprised and looked closely, and saw a crescent-shaped scar on her little finger. It was a mark left by oil splattering on Wang Mama's hand when she was in the kitchen.

"This is..." She couldn't believe it. How could Song Yue have cut off Wang's mother's finger?

Song Yue sat up straight and held up two fingers: "Now you have two choices. First, pledge allegiance to me, and I can forgive and forget everything that happened in the past. Second, say whatever you want, but I can guarantee you won't live past tomorrow!"

Granny Yang's breath caught in her throat. Looking at the cold smile in Song Yue's eyes, she felt a chill run down her spine for some reason, and her lips trembled as she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

After calming down, she found Song Yue to be utterly ridiculous.

She was a wild girl raised outside since childhood, ignorant of etiquette and speaking rudely. It was only because the masters of the Duke of Jingguo's mansion took pity on her that they felt sorry for her.

This girl actually thinks she's something.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Song Yue raised her chin: "Granny Yang, you don't have much time left."

boom!

Song Hengchuan kicked open the gate, followed by dozens of guards, each carrying a knife. He glared at Song Yue and said, "Song Yue, how dare you sneak into Grandmother's courtyard and poison Mama Wang, leaving her half-dead? You are so vicious at such a young age. Today, I will act on behalf of Heaven to punish you."

There was no fear in Song Yue's eyes. She slowly stood up and asked, "To catch someone red-handed, do you have any evidence?"

These words made Granny Yang frown. Was the Third Miss crazy? The stolen goods were right on the table.

The next moment, Song Hengchuan discovered a half-bottle of poison and a severed finger next to the makeup box. He thought he had caught them red-handed and couldn't hide his smugness as he said, "Isn't this the evidence? Song Yue, you're not only vicious but also stupid."

Song Hengchuan could finally vent his anger that had been building up all day. He ordered, "Men, seize Song Yue!"
