Chapter 286: Sworn in Sisters
Translator: CokeZero Editor: Rainystars
The Cao family did something awful, but what happened had happened and they weren’t about to act weak now. Therefore, they took the time to shout back.
Lady Wu, the mother of Liang Ziwen, was furious and went to pull the hair of the Cao familys wife.
“Your family is evil! Let us rip off your mouths first!”
The two families started a fistfight then.
Li Yuyao’s face dropped. She was scared that this would hurt her own son and she stepped forward to protect him.
At the same time, she ordered her people to stop the fight.
“Stop this right now!”
Sadly, the two families had gone berserk and they all ignored Li Yuyao.
Everyone else in the room parted to avoid trouble.
.....
Whoever got involved with the Liang or Cao families would end up with very bad luck. No matter what they did, they would be considered doing something wrong. No matter who they helped, they would get blamed by the other family. Therefore, everyone stepped backward.
The Liang and Cao families tangled together and Li Yuyao’s people failed to pull them apart.
Given the severity of the fight, the magistrate’s wife rushed in with a group of people. She angrily howled, “Stop this!”
Her shout was effective and the two families both retreated.
Though these two families were two of the most successful businessmen, they were attending a gathering hosted by an official.
It was the magistrate’s grandson’s one-month celebration. What they were doing was distasteful.
The Liang and Cao families quickly apologized, “Madame Song, we are sorry for our rudeness. It’s all because my son’s hurt and I lost control.”
The Cao family hissed, “Madame Song, I will pay you a visit and apologize with a gift another day. We were wrong today.”
Lady Cao instantly passed the gift they brought to Li Yuyao and apologized to her. Afterward, they left in a hurry.
The Liang family felt too awkward to stay as well and left after they left behind a gift.
Before the room, Madame Song, the magistrate’s wife, took some time to gather herself before she left with her subordinates.
There were a bunch of people following Madame Song. Other than the wife of lieutenant Xu, there was the wife of the county magistrate’s assistant Yang, the wife of administrator Peng, the wife of officer Zhao, and the wife of the Qinghe school’s dean.
Inside the room, everyone paid their respect to Madame Song and gave her their gifts.
Though Madame Song was the wife of a magistrate who was only seventh-ranked, she remained ranked.
The Zhou Dynasty clearly stated that wives of officers were allowed to be called madams while normal citizens shouldn’t use that title. Therefore, at events like this, only Madame Song could be referred to as Madame Song.
Lu Jiao followed the crowd and paid respect to Madame Song. However, Li Yuyao grabbed her to stop her.

Once Madame Song sat down, Li Yuyao took Lu Jiao and walked up to Madame Song, and said respectfully, “Mother, this is Lady Lu who saved your grandson’s life as well as mine. She’s the wife of scholar Xie.”
Lu Jiao instantly bowed, “Madame Song.”
Madame Song appeared extremely strict and serious. Her every movement displayed how majestic she was. When she saw Lu Jiao, however, her expression softened, “Thank you for saving my daughter-in-law and my grandson. You are the Hu familys savior.”
Lu Jiao smiled, I ‘Madame Song, you’re being kind. I am a doctor and I did what I should have done.”
Beside Li Yuyao, Li Yuyao’s mother angrily stared at Lu Jiao. it was that male doctor who saved Li Yuyao yet this woman claimed she did. How shameless was she to accept Madame Songs bold statement?
Li Yuyao’s mother coldly hissed. If she didn’t care about her daughter’s reputation, she would’ve poked holes in her lies.
Lu Jiao didn’t notice Li Yuyao’s mother and was focused on Madame Song. Madame Song appeared kind as she looked back at Lu Jiao.
Just then, Li Yuyao suddenly grabbed Lu Jiao’s hand and announced to Madame Song, “Mother, Lady Lu saved me and my son. I am very grateful for what she has done. Father also views highly of her husband, scholar Xie, and has asked my husband to spend more time with him. Therefore, I was thinking of becoming sworn sisters with Lady Lu. That way, it will be easier for our families to see each other later.”
Madame Song viewed her husband as the law setter. Li Yuyao’s words reminded her of how much her husband admired Xie Yunjin. He had often complimented Xie Yunjin’s intelligence and commented that if Xie Yunjin was in his position, he would’ve gotten promoted a long time ago. Therefore, Hu Shan should spend more time together with smart people. Even if he’s unable to learn everything from Xie Yunjin, he could learn some skills.
Madame Song thought of her husband’s words and was about to agree, “Hmm, about that proposal…
Before she could get all the words out, Li Yuyao’s mother couldn’t help herself and objected, ‘Yuyao, it’s not like you have no biological siblings. Why would you randomly swear in another sister?”
Li Yuyao smiled kindly at her mother, “Mother, I feel a connection with Lady
Lu. When I look at her, I get the feeling like we should be sisters.”
She suddenly realized she hadn’t asked Lu Jiao about her opinion.
Embarrassed, she turned to Lu Jiao, “Lady Lu, are you going to say no?
She studied Lu Jiao with a pitiful expression, terrified that Lu Jiao would say no.
Lu jiao giggled and almost pinched her cheeks, “I’m the one who’s getting out of my league here.”
Her words made Li Yuyao swing around her arm, “Not at all, not at all. I’m the one who likes you.”
She then asked, “Jiaojiao, how old are you?
The use of her nickname made Lu Jiao raise an eyebrow. This woman was good at grasping opportunities to climb up.
She analyzed Li Yuyao and could tell by her gaze that she seemed to really want to be sisters.
Lu Jiao thought it through quickly. Li Yuyao was the daughter-in-law of the Qinghe District’s magistrate. Becoming sisters would be beneficial for Lu Jiao. She was going to stay in this county long-term and she could use the help. Lu Jiao agreed then and answered, “I’m 20 this year.”
Li Yuyao happily responded, “I’m 21 this year. From now on, you’re my little sister then.”
She spoke like she had no younger sister. Li Yuyao did have a younger sister but she acted like Lu Jiao was her only one.
The Li familys expressions all dropped. Just then, a few young women walked in and one of them appeared especially upset. That young woman was Li
Yuyao’s real sister, Li Yuqin.
()ther than Li Yuqin, Xu Qinghe’s expression was also ugly. For Xie Yunjin, she had once secretly taken a good look at Lu Jiao. She thought that marrying scholar Xie would be easy given that his wife now was from the countryside.
Who knew that in the blink of an eye, this countryside housewife became the magistrate’s daughter-in-law, Li Yuyao’s, sworn-in sister? This was going to be a little troublesome.
Li Yuyao ignored everyone else and hugged Lu Jiao excitedly, “Jiaojiao, if you ever need anything in the future, call me and I will be there for you!’
