I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 511

Chapter 511: Chapter 202: Empress and Empress Both Take Action, Both Must Be Strong!

Chen Mo’s expression was rigid as he turned his head to look.

He saw He Yuzhi glaring at him, her wrist turning 180 degrees clockwise.

"You brat, I’ve been waiting at home for three days, and I’ve finally caught you!"

"Ah... it hurts, hurts, hurts!"

Chen Mo sucked in a breath of cold air, grimacing and begging for mercy.

The servants heard the commotion and looked up, He Yuzhi’s face was stern. She said nothing more, grabbing Chen Mo as they headed to the study.

"What did the young master do to make the madam so angry?"

"Not sure, the madam’s been staying in the mansion these days, she didn’t even attend Madam Li’s tea party. She keeps muttering things like ’rebel son’, ’too ashamed to face people’..."

A few little maidservants covered their mouths, whispering secretly.

At this moment, Chen Fu came over and said coldly, "What are you all gossiping about here? Looking to get punished? Go do whatever you’re supposed to be doing!"

"Yes."

Everyone shivered and scattered like birds and beasts.

Chen Fu watched the backs of the pair leaving, a trace of doubt in his expression.

He Yuzhi has always spoiled Chen Mo, giving in completely, almost to the point of indulgence. Even when Chen Mo tore up the marriage contract, she didn’t get this angry...

His intuition told him the young master must have messed up big time...

Knock, knock, knock—

Just then, the main door of the Chen Mansion resounded with knocks.

Chen Fu walked forward, opened the door, and saw a woman in green standing at the entrance.

"You are..."

"I’m the Lin Residence’s steward, delivering a letter by the order of Lady Jin Yun. I kindly ask you to pass it on and hopefully spare a moment for a meeting, much appreciated." The woman in green took out a gilded paper from her sleeve and handed it over with both hands.

"Lin Residence?"

Chen Fu was a bit stunned.

There are a few noble families with the surname Lin in Tiandu City, but only the one whose lady is the cousin of Her Majesty the Empress is called Lady Jin Yun!

Yet the Chen Family clearly belongs to the Imperial Consort’s lineage, so why would the Lin Residence come to deliver a letter?

...

...

The atmosphere in the study was heavy.

Chen Mo stood with his head bowed and hands down.

He Yuzhi sat in the chair, arms crossed over her chest, coldly saying, "Speak, what’s going on here?"

Chen Mo cautiously replied, "Mom, which matter are you referring to?"

"..."

He Yuzhi took a deep breath and said, "Let’s start with the Jinxiu Workshop affair... The Empress told me that those trendy underwear were all designed by you, is this true or false?"

Knowing he couldn’t hide it, Chen Mo nodded, "It’s true."

Moreover, besides the Empress, the Imperial Concubine received her fair share...

But, of course, this sort of thing he dared not tell his mother.

He Yuzhi asked, "Besides the Empress, who else knows about this?"

Chen Mo replied, "Zhixia knows."

?

He Yuzhi now recalled, she only found out about this trendy underwear because she saw Shen Zhixia wearing it... Never thought this girl was keeping it a secret all along!

"Who else?"

"Qingxuan also knows..."

"..."

He Yuzhi’s eyebrows shot up, her chest heaving.

So everyone else was aware, except for her?

Seeing Chen Mo’s humble and respectful demeanor, she couldn’t vent her anger, so she took a breath and said, "Though this can be considered a legitimate business, given that you’re the Sky Scale Guard Deputy Thousand Households, holding an official position, spreading it could certainly have negative effects..."

Chen Mo asked, "Then what does Mom think should be done?"

He Yuzhi cleared her throat and said, "Such matters, you’re not suitable to show up. Whenever you design a new piece, first pass the sketches to me. I’ll help review them, then arrange personnel to liaise with the Jinxiu Workshop..."

She says it’s to review, but really she’s trying to secure the first-hand supplies!
