All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 326 - 326 Slave Who Betrayed His Lord



326 Slave Who Betrayed His Lord

Carpenter Zhao and his son had originally been working steadily, but this time, they had been implicated by her.

The best way was to avoid the main point.

But!

Just because they avoided responsibility didn’t mean that this matter could be let go.

Yu Zongzheng was so angry that his face turned green. “Madam Yang, tell me, was what Carpenter Zhao said the truth!”

It was really Yang Shuwan’s fault that Brother Si had drowned. No wonder Yao Yao hadn’t dared to ask just now, for fear of offending her mother.

Yang Shuwan’s body went limp. “Master, Master, it’s not like that. Carpenter Zhao did say that. I also instructed Mo Cai, who serves Brother Si, and a few old maids to keep a close eye on Brother Si. How would I know…”

Yang Shuwan was like this, but little did she know that others were the same. The corners of Yu Youyao’s mouth twitched slightly, and her fingers gently rubbed the wooden rhinoceros incense beads on her wrist.

The show was about to begin!

At this moment, a woman rushed out of the crowd and knelt on the ground with a thud. She kept kowtowing to Yu Zongzheng. As she kowtowed, she said, “Master, I have something to say…”

Yu Zongzheng took a closer look and recognized that this woman was Yu Shansi’s nanny, Madam Mo. Out of consideration for their relationship, he asked, “What are you trying to say?”

Auntie Mo’s cries were shrill. “Master, please investigate. Fourth Young Master heard from the servants that the lake was beautifully repaired and had a lot of brocade fish. When Fourth Young Master heard this, he insisted on going to the lake to play. At that time, the Songtao Courtyard was busy. A few of Fourth Young Master’s old maids were called over to help. Mo Cai couldn’t stop them alone, so he could only follow them.”

Yu Zongzheng frowned and glared at Madam Yang.

One look at the servants standing in the courtyard and one could tell that half of the servants in the residence were already in the Songtao Courtyard when they moved today. It was really a huge game of chess.

They were already here, but they still did not have enough manpower. They actually had to send the people around Brother Si to help.

They were simply useless!

Mother Mo cried, “… Who knew that the fence was not strong enough? Fourth Young Master fell into the lake. In order to save Fourth Young Master, Mo Cai also jumped into the lake himself. However, Fourth Young Master was splashing around in the lake. Mo Cai was small and weak, so he couldn’t save Fourth Young Master for a moment. He almost drowned and is still lying in the house. Many people in the residence know about this…”

Fourth Young Master had drowned, and the entire residence was in chaos.

In order to save Fourth Young Master, he had almost sacrificed himself. It was actually a thankless task and he had even attracted hatred.

After that, First Madam actually ignored Mo Cai and even slapped her. She said that if anything happened to Fourth Young Master, she would definitely not let Ah Cai off.

Hearing that Mo Cai had almost gotten into an accident due to his loyalty, Yu Zongzheng’s anger eased a little, but he was still angry.

“First Madam has already instructed us to keep an eye on Fourth Young Master and not let him go to the lake. As a servant, how can Mo Cai let Brother Si do as he pleases?!”

Brother Si was young and sensible. If Mo Cai really tried his best to stop him, why wasn’t he stopped?

When Auntie Mo heard this, she hurriedly kowtowed. “Master, she couldn’t stop Mo Cai. Master, you might not know this, but Fourth Young Master has been spoiled by First Madam since he was young. He has gone wild…”

Yu Youyao’s lips curled up slightly.

“Shut up.” Yang Shuwan suddenly interrupted Mother Mo. “Everyone in the family knows that Fourth Young Master is obedient and sensible. You…” She held Mother Mo with trembling hands, her face filled with disbelief. “You actually slandered Brother Si to absolve Mo Cai. You…”

Mother Mo kept shaking her head. “No, no, I…”

Yang Shuwan interrupted her and rushed to Mother Mo. With tears in her eyes, she said, “Although it was Mo Cai who didn’t take good care of Si’er when he fell into the water, Mo Cai’s loyalty to save his master would reduce his sin. Not to mention that Mo Cai has served Si’er for many years, even if he doesn’t make any contributions, he has worked hard. If Master takes into account his relationship with Mo Cai in the residence for many years, he won’t blame him. You don’t have to slander Si’er just to absolve Mo Cai…”

In other words, if Mother Mo changed her words, she would not pursue Mo Cai’s responsibility.

Auntie Mo was not stupid, so she naturally understood what First Madam meant. She had risked offending First Madam to stand up for Mo Cai because she was worried that Master would blame Mo Cai.

But!

At the thought of Mother Yang, Zhou Yongchang, and the dead Mu Jin…

Then, she recalled that when Fourth Young Master was drowning, Eldest Madam Yang had stared at her fiercely and said that if anything happened to Fourth Young Master, she would definitely not let Mo Cai off easily…

Also, Master blamed First Madam for not taking care of Fourth Young Master, but First Madam kept saying that she had instructed Fourth Young Master’s servants and pushed all the blame to Mo Cai…

Could she believe First Madam’s words?

Auntie Mo gritted her teeth and kowtowed. “Master, everything I said is true. I don’t dare to lie to you. Fourth Young Master has really been spoiled by First Madam. He doesn’t learn well from the teacher and often gets beaten up by him. When Fourth Young Master is angry, he beats and scolds Ah Cai. Poor Ah Cai, he often gets punched and kicked by Fourth Young Master…”

Yang Shuwan knelt on the ground with a thud and said in a sad voice, “Master, my son fell into the water today and walked into the gates of hell. But…” She gritted her teeth and glared at Mother Mo. “This old woman actually slandered my son. My son’s life is hard. Master, please help him.”

Back then, she had also taken a fancy to Mother Mo’s honesty, which was why she had chosen her to be Brother Si’s nanny. All these years, she had controlled Mother Mo’s family tightly.

Unexpectedly, this unruly servant actually dared to betray her master!

Ha, she was stupid too.

All these years, under her deliberate arrangements, Brother Si’s obedient and intelligent image had long been deeply rooted in people’s hearts.

Brother Si was Master’s son. How could a father not trust his son?

Auntie Mo kowtowed. “Master, Master, I don’t dare to lie to you. Fourth Young Master is ignorant and incompetent. His daily homework is also written by Ah Cai…”

Before she could finish speaking, Yu Zongzheng was already furious. He suddenly slammed the table and pointed at Mother Mo. “You wicked servant, you’re really bold. In order to absolve your son of his guilt, you actually slandered your master. How hateful.”

He had raised Brother Si. How could he not know what kind of person he was?!

It was a pity that this old woman dared to slander Brother Si like this.

“Master, I don’t dare to lie to you…” Mother Mo’s head kept banging on the ground. In just a few moments, her forehead was swollen.

“You dog slave, shut up!” Yang Shuwan rushed forward and slapped Mother Mo’s face, causing her face to tilt and her body to fall to the ground.
