226 Really Terrifying!

Yu Youyao listened and said nothing.

In the past, Lady Qiu used to serve her grandmother. When she was older, she looked outstanding, so her father took a fancy to her. Her grandmother asked Lady Qiu for her opinion, and Lady Qiu was also willing to serve her father, so she arranged a room.

Lady Qiu had served her father for three years. She was a quiet person, so Yang Shuwan had never taken her seriously.

Old Madam Yu sighed slightly. “It’s not peaceful outside, and there’s also a commotion at home. If this continues, there will be trouble sooner or later. However, I’m already half-dead and not afraid of anything. Your father and second uncle are both officials in the imperial court, and they’re always holding their heads high. Whether it’s good or bad depends on themselves. I’m only worried that you’ll be implicated…”

Yu Youyao held her grandmother’s hand and said softly, “Grandmother, there’s no way out. We’ll just have to do it ourselves. Let’s live our lives well. The rest will depend on fate.”

When Old Madam Yu heard this, she smiled. “You’re so young, but you speak like an adult.”

Yu Youyao lowered her head in silence.

Old Madam Yu was also a little tired. “You’ve been busy for most of the day. You’re tired too. Go back and rest. There’s still a family banquet tonight. You’ll definitely be busy again.”

Yu Youyao nodded. “Grandmother, hurry and rest too.”

Yang Shuwan was in a daze as she walked back to the main courtyard. Thinking of Old Madam’s words and Master’s dissatisfaction with her, she couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. She waved her hand—

The cups and plates on the table immediately fell to the ground with a clang.

“That damned old woman just doesn’t want me to have an easy time.” Yang Shuwan couldn’t help but feel her heart ache when she thought of her scheming mother.

After a while, Yang Shuwan calmed down a little and called Nanny Li over. “Where’s Mu Jin?”

Nanny Liu hurriedly said, “They locked her up in the side courtyard to be matched with a partner!”

She thought about how Mu Jin had been her most capable maidservant in the past, and how she had been involved in many things. Then, she thought about Old Madam’s turbid but insightful expression, and Master’s words of “taking the divorce letter home”…

Yang Shuwan gritted her teeth. “Mu Jin has been with me since she was ten years old. I think she’s a little smart and knows how to please others. She’s raised like a young miss, and she’s also delicate. How can the servants in the outer courtyard be good? If she’s matched with them, she’ll be ruined by them. How can she have a good life?”

Nanny Li’s eyelids twitched when she heard this, and even her back bent. She stared at her toes and thought of the grass in the courtyard earlier.

On such a hot day, she broke out in a cold sweat for no reason.

After saying this, Yang Shuwan’s face also turned cold. “Set up a mat and throw it into the mass grave. Give her mother a sum of money and say that outsiders will buy her. That way, we can forget about it and she will not cause any trouble.”

Nanny Li was used to it and agreed calmly.

Yang Shuwan also sighed. “I have no choice. That girl, Mu Jin, has served me for more than ten years, and I like her too. In the future, if I get let her tortured in the outer courtyard, it’s hard to guarantee that she won’t resent me. If she doesn’t die, I’ll be giving Old Madam some benefits. In the future, if Old Madam doesn’t let go, how can I live peacefully?”

Nanny Li was like a clay doll, motionless and silent.

Yang Shuwan lowered her head. “In the past ten years, I’ve treated her well. Such a life can be considered to have fulfilled my kindness to her. Tomorrow, I’ll copy a Buddhist scripture for her and hope that she’ll be reincarnated into a good family in her next life. I don’t want her to be a shameless servant.”

She had casually snatched away a life.

Yang Shuwan heaved a sigh of relief and gritted her teeth. “Call that b*tch, Lady Qiu, over.”

In Langhai courtyard.

Hui Xiang was chattering non-stop, saying that Concubine He was grounded by Old Madam He again, and Yu Qingning was locked in the courtyard and not allowed to go out. Yu Jianjia couldn’t hear a single word.

Her mind was filled with thoughts of how Yu Youyao had stolen the limelight at the birthday banquet today.

She had originally wanted to use Yu Youyao’s birthday banquet to befriend the noble ladies of the various families, so she had also hidden some tricks in her dressing.

However, she never expected this!

First, it was Yu Shuangbai from the second house. Then, Yu Lianyu and Yu Fangfei, the two daughters of concubines, changed their ways to praise Yu Youyao. She couldn’t even find a chance to stand up for herself.

She was not in a hurry. When Yu Qingning caused a commotion, there would be plenty of opportunities for her to stand out.

After all, Yu Youyao was a member of the main family. If Yu Youyao embarrassed herself on the spot, it would show her kindness and etiquette as the third daughter of the first wife.

In this way, she would naturally take over Yu Youyao’s limelight. She would step on Yu Youyao’s face and use her birthday banquet to befriend the various young mistresses.

Yu Qingning had caused a commotion.

However, Yu Youyao was not as embarrassed as she had imagined.

Her indifferent attitude was like that of Zhou Linghuai, who had lost his leg in the Green House. Even though he was sitting in a wheelchair and living under someone else’s roof, he was still calm and indifferent.

Such an attitude would make anyone look up to her.

She vividly expressed the words, “As long as I don’t feel awkward, other people will feel awkward.”

What surprised her even more was something else!

The daughters of the second branch actually defended Yu Youyao without a care. This way, Yu Qingning had completely become a joke, and this commotion completely became a farce.

The people who came to attend Yu Youyao’s banquet were all personally selected by Old Madam Yu.

She was also the first daughter of the first wife, who had been carefully taught by her mother. None of them were stupid. Not to mention why Yu Qingning was making such a fuss, just based on Yu Youyao’s reputation at home, they were also willing to interact with her.

No matter how many schemes she had, they would all fail.

Yu Jianjia was flustered, and an itch appeared in her throat. She took a handkerchief and coughed a few times. In the end, she spread out the rice paper, planning to practice writing for a while to calm herself down.

“Young Miss, Old Madam has punished Miss Mu Jin…”

Hui Xiang chattered on, making Yu Jianjia feel frustrated. She dipped the tip of her brush in ink and shook it gently. A drop of ink fell from the tip of the brush and quickly spread on the paper.

Yu Jianjia closed her eyes and suddenly opened them. She stared at the incense stick, and her eyes were wet. “Shut up!”

“Young…” Hui Xiang’s breathing stopped, and she suddenly shivered. She felt a chill run down her spine, and she suddenly got up.

She looked up instinctively and saw Miss looking at her.

Her sickly, delicate, and pure face was no different from usual. However, for some reason, she felt that the young miss at this moment was really terrifying!

Hui Xiang felt a little cold and instinctively lowered her head.

Yu Jianjia took a deep breath, bit her lip, and said gently, “It was because Sister Mu Jin did something wrong that Grandmother punished her. Sister Mu Jin has served Mother for many years, and their relationship is different. I think Mother doesn’t feel good either, but I’m a little worried about Mother…”
