332 So Many Shows
“How, how could that be…” Yu Jianjia kept shaking her head. For a long time, the world spun. She suddenly held onto the desk to prevent herself from falling, but she pressed her chest tightly.
She’d arranged the opening and plotted the end.
The only thing she did not expect was that all of this did not develop as she had expected. Instead, Yu Youyao had played her at her own game and implicated her. Not only had she implicated her mother, but Fourth Brother had also been implicated.
“… Eldest Miss said that Mo Cai is loyal to save his master, so it’s not a big deal. Auntie Mo has been serving in the residence for many years and she can make up for her mistakes, so she sent the mother and son to the manor. As for the others who serve Fourth Young Master, they left their master’s side without permission and betrayed their master. Each of them will be hit thirty times and thrown out of the residence to fend for themselves…”
Yu Jianjia felt suffocated. She felt waves after waves of suffocation.
She suddenly looked up at Yu Youyao.
Yu Youyao sat in the study with a cup of tea in her hand, but she did not drink it. There was a suffocating solemnity in her long dark eyebrows. Her phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed, and the corners of her eyes were gently raised, revealing a terrifying and dignified aura.
Especially when she looked at her. Her eyes were filled with disdain, making her smile just like Zhou Linghuai’s.
She had become an ant in her eyes.
Yu Youyao, Yu Youyao, Yu Youyao…
She was clearly doing it on purpose!
She had deliberately asked Chun Xiao to tell her about the Songtao Courtyard and mocked her just to see her in such a sorry state.
Since Yu Youyao wanted to see it, she would not let her.
“… Eldest Master found out. After what Fourth Young Master has done all these years, he was furious…”
Yu Jianjia held onto the desk with all her might. Even though her body felt weak, she gritted her teeth and held herself together. “Thank you, Big Sister, for telling me this.” She slowly closed her eyes, and a wisp of tears flowed down her face. She choked and said, “Mother is actually so stupid. You don’t know that a loving mother is a failure. Doting on him for a while will harm Fourth Brother’s life. It’s all my fault for being weak. I usually only care about recuperating and can’t help Mother raise my younger brother…”
Before she could finish speaking, tears flowed into her mouth. The salty and bitter taste made her feel as if she had eaten a golden spoon. She couldn’t say anything and couldn’t help but cover her mouth and cough.
Her words implied that she did not know that Yu Shansi had been raised badly.
There were really too many scenes. She was simply comparable to Madam Yang.
Indeed, like mother, like daughter.
However, Yu Jianjia had been raised as a legitimate daughter since she was young. A person’s starting point was different, so their horizons were naturally different. Of course, her temperament and methods were better.
Yu Youyao was a little impressed by Yu Jianjia. She chuckled. “We’re sisters, so there’s no need to be polite. It’s just that Fourth Brother is still young. He suffered from drowning today, and Mother… Third Sister’s body is weak. You have to take good care of your health.”
Yu Jianjia’s eyes were filled with tears as she said hoarsely, “Thank you for your concern, Big Sister.”
The heirs of wealthy families were the top priority. Her mother had raised Fourth Brother badly, so she did not know how Old Madam and her father would punish her mother.
Yu Youyao chuckled. “Since Third Sister isn’t feeling well, I’ll leave first. I’ll come and visit you another day.”
With that, she turned to leave without waiting for Yu Jianjia to react.
Before Yu Jianjia could heave a sigh of relief, she saw Yu Youyao, who had just taken a few steps, suddenly turn around and look at her with a smile. “After thinking about it, I still feel that there’s something I have to tell Third Sister.”
Yu Jianjia’s half-hearted heart was instantly lifted by Yu Youyao’s words. She forced a smile. “What, what is it?”
Seeing that her thin figure was on the verge of collapse and she looked pitiful, Yu Youyao chuckled. “Carpenter Zhao checked the wooden railing at the side of the lake and realized that it was loose. He suspects that it was done by a person.” She walked over to Yu Jianjia with light steps. “Third Sister, don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”
Yu Jianjia’s heart skipped a beat, and she felt suffocated.
She clutched her chest and panted heavily.
She was indeed the one who had loosened the wooden railing. She was also the one who had arranged for the servants to say that the lake in the Songtao Courtyard had been beautifully repaired. Fourth Brother had always been curious, so he would definitely go and take a look.
Initially, she had only used the fact that her fourth brother had fallen into the water to scheme against Yu Youyao. Even Nanny Qin, who was proficient in pharmacology, had been sent to the Songtao Courtyard to help in advance.
However, she had never expected that she would almost kill Fourth Brother.
Luckily, he had been saved by Yu Youyao.
However, although he had been saved, her father completely hated her mother. Her fourth brother had revealed his true colors, and her father probably wouldn’t like him as much as before.
At this moment, Ai Ye rushed into the house. “Young Miss, bad news, bad news. Eldest Master wants to lock First Madam up in the Tranquil Heart Residence behind the main courtyard. He said that First Madam’s head is seriously ill. The doctor has instructed that we have to find a quiet place for her to recuperate carefully. No one is allowed to visit First Madam in the future…”
Yu Youyao was also stunned when she heard this.
This was a punishment of a wealthy family’s wive and concubines who were completely despised. The family’s dignity was still considered and could not be abandoned. They would find a remote and quiet courtyard and let them fend for themselves.
Yu Jianjia reacted in a daze, her eyes widening in shock. “How, how could this be?!”
Her father was angry that her mother had been complying on the surface but disobeying on the inside. She had raised Fourth Brother’s temperament behind his back. However, her mother was Fourth Brother’s biological mother after all. Even if it was for Fourth Brother’s sake, she shouldn’t have been punished so severely.
Why was he so heartless?
“Father, I want to see Father…” Yu Jianjia stumbled a few steps. She felt a strong suffocation in her chest, causing her vision to darken and she fell to the ground.
“Young Miss.” Hui Xiang was shocked.
Yu Youyao’s voice deepened. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and help your young mistress up.”
Hui Xiang seemed to have woken up from a dream. She hurriedly went forward and helped Young Miss sit on a chair. Then, she opened the sachet at Yu Jianjia’s waist, took out a pill, and fed it to her.
Chun Xiao reacted quickly and handed her a cup of tea.
Hui Xiang took the tea. After checking the temperature, she carefully fed it to Yu Jianjia.
Yu Jianjia’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and tears streamed down her face. “I-I don’t believe it. How, how can Father… Mother is his official wife. Father, no…”
Now that her mother had been despised, her status as the Second Miss in the residence would be greatly reduced. From now on, Yu Youyao would be in charge of the family and be under Old Madam’s protection. The Yu Residence would be Yu Youyao’s world.
What was she, the daughter of an abandoned wife, worth?
Yu Youyao looked at her coldly. “Third Sister, you’re not feeling well, so rest. I’ll visit you another day.”
After leaving the courtyard, Yu Youyao saw an old woman waiting outside.
The old woman rushed up to Yu Youyao and whispered into her ear, “After Eldest Miss left…”
