Chapter 322 - 322 Soft Mouth
322 Soft Mouth
As soon as he found out that Si’er had drowned, he was burning with anxiety. He couldn’t help but think that his eldest daughter was in charge of repairing the Songtao Courtyard. Now that Si’er had an accident and his life was in danger, he was furious.
However, at this moment, after listening to the gossip, he also clearly understood Brother Si’s drowning. He did not even miss many details.
Yu Shansi was drowning and his life was at stake. As his mother, Madam Yang was a paper tiger. She was useless. Not only did she know how to cry and cause trouble, but she also scolded Yu Youyao and kept slandering her for harming Brother Si.
Her third daughter was weak and couldn’t help at all. She had even almost let Nanny Qin ruin Si’er’s life.
His mother was a capable person, but the north courtyard was far away, so she couldn’t rush over immediately.
On the other hand, it was all thanks to his eldest daughter’s help that Si’er’s life was saved. She had stabilized the situation in Songtao Courtyard and used the life-preparing medicine that she had made for his mother to keep him alive. Not only that, but she had also asked Nanny Xu to treat him, so Si’er was fine.
Even Imperial Physician Shi said that his eldest daughter had treated him in time!
Imperial Physician Shi was the previous Imperial Physician. His medical skills were even better than Imperial Physician Hu’s. Even the emperor did not allow him to return to his hometown and told him to retire in the capital.
For such a capable person to say such words, it was obvious how much he admired his eldest daughter.
Zhao Da, who was following beside Yu Zongzheng, carefully glanced at Eldest Master.
Eldest Master, who had been anxious and angry just now, now looked much more relaxed. He quickly said, “Imperial Physician Shi is still in the Songtao Courtyard. Do you want to visit Fourth Young Master first, or go to Imperial Physician Shi first?”
Yu Zongzheng quickly said, “Let’s go to Imperial Physician Shi first.”
It wouldn’t be too late to visit Brother Si after asking about his situation. Besides, although Imperial Physician Shi had resigned from his position, he was still a respected person. Since he had personally come to visit, it was only right for him to pay him a visit first.
When Zhao Da heard this, he understood. Eldest Miss’s arrangements and schemes had all worked.
However, he couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
This Eldest Miss was really a capable person. Master would definitely take his anger out on her for such a big matter like Fourth Young Master drowning. How could she hide?
Just now, after he returned to the residence, he wanted to look for Eldest Miss to discuss a countermeasure.
Unexpectedly, Eldest Miss’s expression was calm. She only asked him to guard the door. When Eldest Master returned, she would immediately “tell the truth” about Fourth Young Master falling into the water.
At that time, he was still assessing the situation!
Eldest Master thought highly of Fourth Young Master. Even if she had explained this matter clearly, he would still be angry.
Eldest Miss probably couldn’t escape punishment this time.
How could he have known that as soon as Master returned to the residence, Eldest Miss would actually arrange for the servants in the residence to put on such a show?
Stories repeated many times can confuse people’s hearts!
Everyone said that Eldest Miss had saved Fourth Young Master.
Eldest Miss had saved Fourth Young Master’s life, so it was a done deal. Eldest Miss did not do anything wrong. She only had to work hard to save Fourth Young Master.
Also, as her mother, how could Eldest Madam Yang not be a problem?
Could First Madam Yang’s mouth compare to dozens of mouths in the residence?
As a mother, she was useless. Not only did she not take good care of her son, but her son had also drowned and she did not do anything at all. She had to rely on her stepdaughter to save her son’s life. If she still said that her stepdaughter was in the wrong, she would really be in trouble.
Eldest Miss had personally set a trap for Eldest Madam Yang. If Eldest Madam Yang was smart, it was best for her to keep her mouth shut. At most, she would be reprimanded by Master.
If she was stupid, Master’s anger would not be directed at Eldest Miss, but at Eldest Madam Yang.
Besides, Old Madam was biased towards Eldest Miss.
If this wasn’t enough, there was still an Imperial Envoy who admired Eldest Miss very much in the residence. He was still “waiting” for Eldest Master to return.
Imperial Physician Shi was an elder and even the emperor respected him. His every word and action held even more weight in front of Eldest Master than Old Madam.
It was obvious that the truly powerful people could rely on their intelligence to turn danger into relief no matter what danger they were in.
These matters completely turned the situation around without any effort.
Not only would Eldest Miss not be blamed for this matter, but she might also be rewarded by Eldest Master.
Yu Zongzheng went all the way to the side courtyard of Songtao Courtyard.
Imperial Physician Shi drank the medicinal tea that Eldest Miss Yu had meticulously prepared and ate the snacks in the residence. Unknowingly, he had rested for almost an hour.
At this moment, when he saw Yu Zongzheng, the old man looked down at the exquisite snacks on the table and suddenly felt that the snacks in his mouth were no longer fragrant.
What a smart girl. She was indeed diligent.
Yu Youyao had arranged for him to rest in the residence. He still felt that this girl was thoughtful and much better than her stepmother.
She wanted him to wait there.
The old man had been in the palace for most of his life. How could these small schemes not be noticed by him?
Yu Zongzheng bowed to Imperial Physician Shi to show his respect. Then, he said, “My young son drowned. I’ve troubled you to enter the residence to treat him. Thank you, Lord Shi.”
Forget it. Imperial Physician Shi waved his hand. “Lord Yu, you don’t have to be so polite. I’ve made a wasted trip. The Eldest Miss of your residence is also impressive. She used a rare musk medicinal fragrance pill to protect Fourth Young Master’s life. In addition, the nanny beside her is proficient in treating drowning. Fourth Young Master was treated in time and treated properly. Later, in order not to hurt his foundation after drowning, she even did moxibustion for Fourth Young Master. When I came over, Fourth Young Master was only slightly frightened. After taking a few pills and recuperating for two days, he will be alive and kicking. You don’t have to be so polite.”
After hearing from Zhao Da about how Yao Yao had saved Brother Si, the anger in his heart subsided a little. He felt that Yao Yao could still help a little.
Later on, he heard the servants talk about the situation all the way.
The respect they had for his eldest daughter was obvious. At the mention of Madam Yang, it was completely different.
At this moment, he was also beginning to feel angry with Madam Yang for being useless. As a mother, she couldn’t take good care of Si’er. Not only did she let Si’er drown, but she also pushed the responsibility to her eldest daughter. Yao Yao was only a half-grown child, and she was her stepdaughter. Madam Yang simply wasn’t worthy of being a mother.
At this moment, when he heard the respected Imperial Physician Shi praise his eldest daughter openly, Yu Zongzheng felt proud.
Imperial Physician Shi glanced at Yu Zongzheng, then looked down at the exquisitely wrapped gift box.
Eldest Miss Yu had sent this gift box over.
Previously, after drinking the medicinal tea that Eldest Miss Yu had sent over, he couldn’t help but ask a few questions.
Unexpectedly, not long after, a maidservant brought over a box. She said that it was a thank-you gift from Eldest Miss Yu and asked him not to decline it.
