Reborn of the Rightful - Chapter 250

Chapter 250 -  A Brilliant Scheme! At that moment, Ren Yaoqi spoke up, "Grandmother, I heard this matter has already spread to the point where all the maids and matrons in the estate are aware of it?" The Elder Madame frowned. "It was all because of those two loose-tongued matrons who leaked it! I’ve already had each of them given a round of administrative boards and locked away; I'll deal with them properly after this storm passes. I've also issued strict instructions across the estate forbidding anyone from gossiping further. Anyone caught wagging their tongue again will be beaten to death and thrown out!" Ren Yaohua let out a cold snort. "Those two matrons are certainly capable; they managed to spin a wisp of wind and a shadow into a full-blown scandal that the entire household knows about." Her words were a thinly veiled insinuation that someone was intentionally pulling strings behind the scenes. The Elder Madame, however, replied, "I...

Reborn of the Rightful - Chapter 248

Chapter 248 -  Peace is Hard to Come By In truth, peace was hardly reigning within the Qiu household either. Although Qiu Yun's father, Qiu Hongfeng, was the legitimate eldest son of the Qiu family patriarch, there were still two grandsons in the generation above Qiu Yun. One was Qiu Xiang, the eldest young master born to Qiu Xinmin's secondary concubine, and the other was Qiu Lin, the second young master born to Qiu Xinmin's other legal wife. The eldest young master, Qiu Xiang, was already married. Though his father was a concubine-born son, his mother's family belonged to one of the most prominent prestigious clans in Mozhou. Even though his mother had also been born to a concubine, she had been immensely favored in her maiden home and ultimately managed to secure a bride for her son from the direct line of her own maternal brothers. Although that young lady had suffered a leg injury in her childhood, resulting in a slight limp, her prestigious background more than ma...
