“You…” Yang Shuwan stretched out her arm and was about to crawl forward.
Yu Youyao took a deep breath to calm herself down. “If you’re divorced, you’ll no longer be Yu Zongzhengs wife, Your daughter is neither a legitimate daughter nor a concubine’s daughter. She will be the daughter of a divorced wife. In terms of status, she’s not even comparable to the daughter of a concubine. Her status can’t even be compared to a concubine, and she’ll be in an awkward spot in the residence. In the future, she won’t even be able to marry the most ordinary poor scholar. She can only marry into a merchant family or be like her mother, become a second wife, or a concubine…”
“Y-Yu Youyao, you, you won’t die a good death. You’ll die miserably…” Yang Shuwan reached out to Yu Youyao as if she had gone crazy. As she vomited blood, she cursed her viciously.
Yu Youyao chuckled, her faint voice carrying a hint of coldness. “The thing you’re most proud of in your life is probably marrying into the Yu Residence and becoming an official wife.” Her lips curled up slightly, revealing a trace of malice, “But so what? You’ve been abandoned and will quickly return to where you came from. Even if you die, you won’t be able to enter the Yu family’s ancestral grave. I don’t think your maiden family will care if you live or die. After you die, you’ll probably be about the same as the old servant in front of you. You’ll just be rolled up in a rotten straw mat and thrown it into the mass grave. When your corpse is fresh, it’ll be bitten by a wild dog and pecked by birds…
“Uh…” Yang Shuwan glared at Yu Youyao.
Yu Youyao chuckled. “Listen carefully. As long as l, Yu Youyao, am alive, your daughter, Yu Jianjia, will never be able to make a comeback in this lifetime.”
Yang Shuwan screamed, “No…”
Yu Youyao tilted her head and glanced at Nanny Liu. “Get Madam Yang to press her fingerprint on the divorce letter.”
“No, no, I won’t press it…” Yang Shuwan shook her head crazily and clenched her fists tightly.
Two old maids stepped forward and pressed her to the ground. They pulled her hand away tightly, grabbed her fingers, and pressed them into the red ink box.
After the fingerprint was pressed, Nanny Liu handed the divorce letter to Eldest Miss.
Yu Youyao took a look. “There’s no time like the present. Nanny Liu, I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip to the government office to settle all the matters of suspending your wife.”
Nanny Liu saw that it was already dark outside. Now that the government office was closed, if she wanted to do this, she would definitely have to knock on the door and spend some money.
Yu Youyao instructed the two old maids, “Go prepare a carriage, pack two sets of clothes, and five taels of silver. When Nanny Liu returns, take the divorce letter and send Madam Yang to her family.”
After the Yang family was convicted, their family wealth was confiscated, and the master was exiled. The rest of the family were still living in the capital, so there was no need to trouble them. They could just send her over and be done with it.
After dealing with Yang Shuwan, Yu Youyao left the Tranquil Heart Residence. The sky was already dark. “What time is it?”
Chun Xiao replied, “It’s half past seven.”
Yu Youyao stood at the door of the Tranquil Heart Residence and looked at the deep and endless corridor in front of her. It was as if she was suffocating. Suddenly, she felt out of breath.
Cousin, I can’t hold on much longer.
She took a step forward, and the lights in front of her swayed and spun. Suddenly, she was supported by a strong force. Chun Xiao’s worried voice sounded in her ear. “Young Miss, are you alright!”
Only then did Yu Youyao feel a little dizzy. “I’m fine. Go back!”
The two old maids took lanterns from under the porch and walked in front to illuminate the way.
Yu Youyao walked slowly along this long corridor. As it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were many lanterns hanging in the residence. The hazy lights could not illuminate the night, and it was a waning scene.
Nanny Xu was waiting at the door. Under the bright candlelight, Yu Youyao!s face was pale, and her forehead and the tip of her nose were covered in sweat.
Yu Youyao had never hidden anything from her.
What had happened in the Yu Residence all day and what Yu Youyao had endured could be seen from her pale and thin figure,
Nanny Xu’s heart ached and she felt terrible.
Yu Youyao let go of Chun Xiao and suddenly threw herself into Nanny Xu’s arms, wailing. “Auntie, Auntie, how can they be so bad…”
Tainting her background and making her the abandoned daughter of the Yu family was not Yu Jianjia’s ultimate goal.
Yu Jianjia was crazy. She wanted to raise her into a medicinal catalyst like in her nightmare. She wanted to use her blood as a catalyst and her heart as medicine. She wanted to drink her blood and eat her flesh. She wanted her life.
She was not afraid of Divine Physician Xie.
However, under the influence of the nightmare, her heart often palpitated. She would panic and even feel suffocated. For some reason, she felt a sharp pain in her chest. She did not know if there was a problem with her body or if it was mental fear…
Nanny Xu stroked the little girl’s hair and softened her voice. “Don’t be afraid. Young Master will be back soon.”
Matriarch Yu heaved a sigh of relief. Yu Zongzheng could not do anything to
Yu Youyao.
When Young Master returned, it was even more impossible for Yu Zongzheng to do anything to Yu Youyao.
Madam Yang and her daughter had made a bad move.
She arrogantly believed that Yu Youyao was like an ordinary woman from an aristocratic family. After being despised by her father, she had no way out.
However, she did not know that Yu Youyao’s greatest reliance was King Yue Fei, who had a large army and power.
Nanny Xu accompanied Yu Youyao for a while before Yu Youyao stopped crying. She returned to the house to freshen up and change into dry clothes. She looked a little more energetic.
Thinking about how Yu Youyao had not eaten much all day, Nanny Xu personally cooked medicinal cuisine. Yu Youyao did not have much of an appetite. After being coaxed to eat a small bowl, she could not eat anymore, but at least she had eaten something.
At this moment, Xia Tao’s voice sounded from outside the door. “Young Miss,
Matriarch has woken up and wants to see you.”
Yu Youyao did not delay at all. She quickly left the house and brought Chun Xiao to Matriarch’s house. After hearing Nanny Liu’s story, she had some resentment towards her grandmother.
It was just that her grandmother really doted on her.
For more than ten years, the person who had been protecting her was her grandmother.
The person who had always doted on her was still her grandmother.
Old Madam Yu lay on the couch lifelessly. As soon as she saw her granddaughter, she began to cry. “How’s the family?”
Yu Youyao knew that her grandmother wanted to ask if Yu Zongzheng had done anything to her. Her eyes were red as she said, “Grandmother suddenly fainted. Father was so frightened that he didn’t care about anything. Nanny Li bumped into the corner of the table and she was gone. Father was instigated by Madam Yang and angered Grandmother, which made Grandmother so anxious. I asked Nanny Liu to write a divorce letter…”
This answer also told her grandmother that she was fine. She was still in charge of the family and was already fighting back. She would not suffer.
Old Madam Yu was stunned for a long time before she suddenly smiled. “Okay, okay. Cough, cough. She’s the daughter of a divorced wife. What else can she do in the future? Hahaha, good, this is a drastic move…”
As she laughed and cried, tears streamed down her face..
