Chapter 549: There is no cure for madness
Inside the Yu family villa in Haicheng.

Madam Yu sat blankly on the chair, her eyes dull and her expression listless. Her originally exquisitely bund hair was now disheveled and her expensive cheongsam was stained with stains. She had long lost her noble ladylike demeanor.

The moment she saw Du Ying and Chu Siyang coming in, her eyes turned blood red, sparks of hatred bursting out.

“You, it’s you who have caused the Yu family to fall into this state today!” Mrs. Yu’s voice was hoarse and hysterical.

“The Yu family in Haicheng has become what it is today because of your own actions.” Chu Siyang pulled Du Ying and sat on the leather sofa in front of Madam Yu.

Madam Yu raised her head, and beneath her messy hair were a pair of eyes full of hatred.

“Chu Siyang!” She screamed hoarsely, “You are a devil! And Du Ying, you and the Shen family will not have a good death, and you will be buried with my son Shaoming!”

Du Ying raised her eyebrows and said calmly, “Madam Yu, I came to see you today to talk to you.”

Madam Yu looked disdainful and said, “I have nothing to say to you. If you want to know the whereabouts of my husband, I won’t tell you.”

As long as Yu Dongshan can escape, he will definitely come back to save her.

Du Ying laughed out loud, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice, “You are so loyal to Yu Dongshan, but he may not care whether you live or die.”

“Bullshit!” Madam Yu said angrily, “Don’t try to sow discord between us, you little bitch. Your evil thoughts will have no effect on me.”

“Madam Yu, Patriarch Yu and Yu Dongshan deceived you.” Du Ying glared at her and said, “Do you know how your son died?”

When Yu Shaoming was mentioned, Madam Yu’s face turned livid, and her expression was extremely ferocious, “It was you who killed my son Shaoming!”

Yu Shaoming had caused a big disaster and was abandoned by the Yu family in Dijing, which led to his tragic death.

And the so-called disaster was actually framed by Du Ying and others.

Madam Yu regretted very much that she should have found someone to kill Du Ying when she first returned to the Shen family in Haicheng.

Then Yu Shaoming would not have died, and the Yu family would not have fallen to its current state.

Who could have thought that a little girl could change the situation of the wealthy families in Haicheng? They underestimated Du Ying.

Du Ying hooked her hair with her fingers; her thick black long hair made her skin look as white as snow.

The corners of her lips curled slightly, but there was no smile in her eyes. “Mrs. Yu, I brought you a gift, the truth about your husband, Yu Dongshan.”

She slowly took out a brown paper bag and threw it into Madam Yu’s arms.

“What truth are you talking about?” Madam Yu’s pupils shrank suddenly, “Don’t even think about slandering Dongshan! He loves me. For Shaoming and me, he even gave up the right to inherit the Yu family!”

Du Ying chuckled, and that laugh made Madam Yu shiver all over.

She subconsciously pulled out the photos from the file bag and showed them one by one, her eyes widened in disbelief.

“Have you seen this man?” Du Ying reminded her, “Take a closer look. He looks 70% similar to Yu Dongshan. He is the real eldest son of the Yu family, Yu Yuehang. And your dear husband is Yu Yuehang’s biological father. By the way, Yu Yuehang is one year older than your son Yu Shaoming. Since his birth, your son has been a pawn paving the way for the eldest son. Yu Shaoming’s death was also a shield for Yu Yuehang.”

“Nonsense!”

Madam Yu threw away the photo and shook her head frantically, her hair sticking to her tear-stained face. “Impossible. Shaoming is the only son in Dongshan. He said that he gave up the inheritance rights of the Yu family on his own initiative. For the love of mother and son, he would rather leave the Imperial Capital and stay in Haicheng for the rest of his life…”

“In order to protect his beloved woman and her child, Yu Dongshan pretended to break up with the head of the Yu family and gave up his inheritance rights to the Yu family.”

Du Ying said in a cold voice: “It just so happens that the Yu family needs someone to come to Haicheng to expand the territory, and Yu Dongshan is the most suitable candidate.”

She pulled out another document. “Do you know why Yu Dongshan married an 18th-tier celebrity like you? It’s not because of love, but because you’re stupid and easy to manipulate, and you gave birth to a stupid and obedient son for him.”

“You and Yu Shaoming are just puppets of the Yu family and tools to shield them from attack.”

Madam Yu was trembling all over, her fingers tightly grasping the armrest of the chair, “No, it’s impossible… Dongshan would not do this to me…”

“What you think is favor is just acting.” Du Ying glanced at the stack of photos on the ground, which included an intimate photo of Yu Dongshan and a woman.

“That woman is his true love, Madam Yu, who is truly a good match for him. Their son, Yu Yuehang, is the most competitive candidate for the young master of the Yu family.”

The photos were scattered at Madam Yu’s feet, and the smiles of the two people stung her eyes.

She picked up one with trembling hands. In the photo, Yu Dongshan was hugging a pretty woman and smiling gently and dotingly.

She was very familiar with that expression; he had smiled at her like that countless times.

“No, I don’t believe it. This must be a synthesis…” Madam Yu’s voice was broken. Du Ying looked at her with pity, but her tone was cold and hard, “There are more exciting things.”

She pulled out her recorder and pressed the play button.

“It’s a pity about Shao Ming…” an old voice sighed.

“It’s nothing to regret.” Yu Dongshan’s cold voice sounded, “The original plan was to train him to be a good-for-nothing and a substitute to pave the way for Yue Hang. I won’t feel bad if he dies.”

The recording continued, but Madam Yu could no longer hear it.

She slid down from the chair and collapsed on the ground, her eyes empty, as if her soul had been taken away.

“Shao Ming… my Shao Ming…” she murmured to herself, and suddenly rushed towards Du Ying like crazy, “You killed him! You beasts!”

The task force member, who was well prepared, walked over quickly and grabbed her shoulders and arms.

Du Ying stood still, watching coldly as Madam Yu fell to the ground, blood oozing from her forehead.

“Yu Shaoming was killed by the Jiang family. He did it himself.” Du Ying’s voice was as cold as ice. “The things he and Jiang Xuan did together are enough to make him die ten times.”

Madam Yu collapsed to the ground, tears mixed with blood falling down, “What do you know… He was forced, he was coerced…”

Du Ying stood up, walked in front of Madam Yu, and looked down at her condescendingly.

“Tang Yuewei, Yu Shaoming and Jiang Xuan were once known as the ‘Three Musketeers of the Wealthy Family in Haicheng’. What do you think this is about brotherly love? It was just a conspiracy between the Yu family and the Jiang family in Imperial Capital!”

Madam Yu looked up blankly, “What, what do you mean…”

The three of them have been good friends since they were young. What does this have to do with the family layout?
“What I mean is…” Du Ying said word by word, “The three of them are destined to be pawns. Jiang Xuan befriended Tang Yuewei and Yu Shaoming, Yu Shaoming married Shen Qianran, and Tang Yuewei pursued Shen Qingrong. These were all deliberately guided and arranged by the imperial nobles.”

She looked down at Madam Yu, “It’s just that they didn’t expect that I would intervene and save Tang Yue’s only life.”

Without her intervention, Tang Yuewei would have suffered the same fate as Yu Shaoming and Jiang Xuan.

Madam Yu suddenly let out a shrill laugh that echoed in the room, making people’s hair stand on end.

“So, my life, and Shaoming’s life… are all just a play?”

Du Ying did not answer, but silence was crueler than any words.

Madam Yu raised her head suddenly and grabbed Du Ying’s boots, “Then why didn’t you save Shao Ming! You can save Tang Yuewei, why can’t you save my Shao Ming!”

Du Ying took a step back and kicked her hand away, “Your son deserves to die.”

Madam Yu was stunned, and the light in her eyes gradually faded.

She shook her head mechanically, muttering to herself: “No… Dongshan loves me, Shaoming is our baby… No…”

Du Ying felt mixed emotions as she watched this once arrogant woman become what she is now.

The pleasure of revenge was mixed with a hint of sympathy that she was unwilling to admit.

“Madam Yu,” she finally spoke, her voice softening. “At least now you know the truth. It might be better to suffer soberly than to live in confusion. Yu Dongshan has already abandoned you, and you still want to hide his whereabouts?”

Madam Yu raised her head, and the hatred in her eyes made Du Ying’s heart tremble.

“Du Ying, I won’t say anything!” She said hoarsely, “Do you think you won? The game of the aristocratic families will never end. I lose today, and tomorrow it will be your turn to lose everything!”

Chu Siyang’s eyes flashed, and he was about to lose his temper, but Du Ying stopped him.

“Let’s go.” She said calmly, “She’s gone crazy.”

Yu Dongshan deceived and betrayed her, but she still defended that man.

There is no cure for such a madman.

As he turned to leave, he heard Madam Yu’s hysterical laughter and inarticulate curses behind him.

Until the sound gradually faded away.

I’ve been updating whenever I have time recently. The number of words varies. I just let myself go and update as much as I can!
