Chapter 268: 268 Unable to Back Down

268 Unable to Back Down

However, when she thought about how her carefully raised daughter had actually been schemed against by such a bad thing, the Marquis of Changxing’s wife was furious. “All the madams heard and saw it today. Even if I wanted to cover it up for you, I had no choice. Your reputation for being rude and ill-mannered has also spread. It’s a small matter if others laugh at you, but if the vicious reputation of forcing her to her death spreads, even I won’t be able to cover it up. Tomorrow, I’ll have to go to the Education Department and find a nanny to teach you the rules carefully…”

Cao Yingxue was so frightened that her face turned pale. She couldn’t care less about the pain in her face. She hurriedly went forward and pulled her mother’s sleeve. “Mother, what, what should I do now? I’m too ashamed to live…”

As she spoke, she covered her face and cried.

Today, Yu Youyao had splashed tea on her face and scolded her. It was already embarrassing enough, but she had even made a fuss in front of the madams.

How could she still have the face to walk around outside in the future?

The Marquis of Changxing’s wife also felt a headache coming on. She gritted her teeth and said, “Your father won a battle in Youzhou. After the palace test, the Imperial Court will reward us. At that time, I’ll get Concubine Zhuang to beg the Imperial Concubine to get a fifth-grade county lord title for you. With that title, you’ll be a noble lady of the imperial family. No one will dare to talk about your reputation.”

The families of meritorious officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty could obtain the title of county lord and enjoy the rewards of the Imperial Court.

Cao Yingxue was delighted, and her expression was smug.

The Marquis of Changxing’s wife hurriedly said, “Follow me to the reception pavilion now and apologize to Eldest Miss Yu. Don’t throw a tantrum again. Otherwise, I won’t let you off.”

Although Cao Yingxue was unwilling, she still nodded in agreement when she thought of the title of noble lady that was about to be obtained.

“Then… I’ll go back and change my clothes first…” The clothes she was wearing today were given to her by her sister from the palace. There was a red palace sash around her waist, and there was a yellow tassel at the end of the sash. It was made by the internal affairs department. She had originally wanted to wear it to show off, but who knew that Yu Youyao would splash tea on her face and embarrass her?

Before she could finish speaking, the Marquis of Changxing’s wife interrupted sternly, “What’s there to change? If we go over like this, it’ll be easier for others to see that you’re also someone who has suffered grievances. Otherwise, others will think that you’re the only one in the wrong.”

Seventh Miss had admitted her mistake in front of everyone. She also had to put down her status as the Marquis of Changxing’s wife and apologize to Eldest Madam Yu and Second Madam Yu properly. She would also take out more good things to compensate them. After all, she was still a child. If the Yu Residence still refused to let go of this matter, it would mean that they were petty.

Yingxue was also a growing child. Now that she had sincerely admitted her mistake, it was also a great thing for her to learn from her mistakes.

All the madams present couldn’t possibly argue with a child.

After that, she asked the nanny from the Department of Justice to enter the residence with great fanfare so that she could show everyone that the Marquis of Changxing’s Residence was nurturing Yingxue well. With the title of County Lord, who would dare to gossip anymore?

Madam Yao had originally wanted to bring Yu Youyao back to the residence. Who knew that the Marquis of Changxing’s wife would be so arrogant? She actually got someone to guard the door and prevent her from leaving.

Nanny Yue, who was in front of the Marquis of Changxing’s wife, bowed respectfully. “As the saying goes, a person is not a sage. How can one not make mistakes? It’s good that one can learn from their mistakes. The Marquis of Changxing’s Residence must give Eldest Miss Yu an explanation. We can’t let her suffer in vain.”

These shameless words made Madam Yao furious.

How was this the attitude of apologizing?

She clearly wanted to “forcefully admit her mistake” and try to smooth things over.

However, at this moment, the Marquis of Changxing’s wife was guarding the door and not letting her leave. In the Marquis of Changxing’s Residence, she could not win against her.

Yu Youyao stood beside Madam Yao with a calm expression. No one could tell if she was happy or angry.

“Eldest Miss Yu is a guest, but she’s been wronged in the residence. My Madam feels bad. How can she let Second Madam Yu take Eldest Miss Yu away like this? Second Madam Yu, please go to the reception pavilion to rest for a while. The First Madam of your residence is also here. It’s good to sit down and talk slowly.”

This nanny was very tall and strong, like a wall of flesh. She stood in front of Madam Yao. As she spoke, she even raised her eyes to look at Eldest Miss Yu. Her sleeping phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed, making them look narrow and noble. For no reason, she recalled that when she usually entered and left the inner palace, the Imperial Consort Lu she saw had a monstrous noble aura that no one dared to look at directly!

Her heart skipped a beat. She quickly lowered her eyes and said, “Look at Eldest Miss Yu’s face. She’s also in a sorry state. She has to freshen up…”

With that, the maidservants who had come with Nanny Yue bent down—

“Second Madam Yu, please…”

“Eldest Miss Yu, please…”

She was very polite on the surface. She had also put on a show and apologized sincerely.

If Madam Yao still insisted on leaving, it would mean that she was being unreasonable and did not know what was good for her. Even if it was right, it would also cause another conflict with the Marquis of Changxing’s Residence.

However, if she really went to the reception pavilion and let Seventh Miss Cao admit her mistake without any pain, this matter would be covered up by the Marquis of Changxing’s Residence.

Madam Yao sneered. “My Eldest Miss has been raised by Old Madam since she was young and is her favorite. I can’t make the decision today. I have to report it to Old Madam first. I can’t let Old Madam blame me for not knowing the severity of the matter.”

If it weren’t for the fact that Yu Youyao was smart enough to use the Old Madam of the family as an excuse to associate with the previous emperor, the current emperor, and the Empress Dowager in the palace, Yu Youyao’s reputation would have been completely ruined.

It was a small matter if Yu Youyao’s reputation was ruined, but the Yu Residence was also a powerful family in the capital. If they were bullied for nothing and embarrassed, wouldn’t they be a joke?

There was really no way out.

At the mention of Old Madam Yu, the nanny’s lowered eyes couldn’t help but constrict. She quickly said, “There’s no need to alarm Old Madam. Second Madam Yu, don’t worry. The Marquis of Changxing’s Residence will definitely give Eldest Miss Yu a satisfactory explanation today. The First Madam of your residence has the same intention.”

She was just short of saying that Madam Yao had overstepped her boundaries. As an aunt, it was really unreasonable for her to overstep her stepmother and make a decision for her niece.

Thinking of Yang Shuwan’s unpresentable face, Madam Yao was so angry that her eyes darkened.

Seeing that Madam Yao was in a difficult position, Yu Youyao said gently, “It’s fine to go and take a look.”

Now, the Marquis of Changxing’s Residence had lost face. The Marquis of Changxing’s wife had bullied the younger generation. Not only had Seventh Miss Cao lost her reputation of being “educated”, but she had also tainted her reputation and was known as “vicious.”

The Marquis of Changxing’s wife knew how formidable they were. How could she let them leave so easily?
