Chapter 329 - 329 How Dare You!

329 How Dare You!

Eldest Master was so angry that all the servants in the side courtyard were trembling in fear. After hearing Old Madam’s words, they felt as if they had been pardoned and left the courtyard like fishes with bait.

Yu Youyao couldn’t stay any longer. She stood up and bowed. “Grandmother, Father, there are still some matters in the Songtao Courtyard. I’ll go down and make arrangements.”

It wasn’t appropriate for her to interfere in the matters between the elders.

Old Madam Yu looked exhausted and waved her hand. “Go!”

Yu Youyao frowned. “I’ll take my leave.”

With that, she turned around and left the side courtyard. She called an old maid over and instructed, “Lock up Teacher Li and the people who serve Fourth Young Master in the woodshed and punish them. Fourth Young Master’s courtyard can’t be without people serving him. Get Nanny Liu to transfer a few experienced and capable people from the north courtyard to take care of Fourth Young Master’s daily life for the time being. Fill up the lake in the Songtao Courtyard…”

Yu Youyao arranged everything in the Songtao Courtyard and left.

After walking for a while, Chun Xiao realized that this was not the way to the Jade Courtyard. “Young Miss, aren’t you going back to the Jade Courtyard?”

Yu Youyao narrowed her eyes and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. “I have to return to the Jade Courtyard, but before I do, I have to go somewhere first.”

Chun Xiao subconsciously asked, “Where are we going?”

Yu Youyao chuckled. “Langhai courtyard.”

Chun Xiao was stunned. “Young Miss, you have never been to that courtyard! Why are you suddenly going over?”

Yu Youyao stroked the incense beads on her wrist. “I think Third Sister is waiting for news from the Songtao Courtyard. As the eldest sister, how can I make her wait long?”

After Yu Youyao left, only Old Madam Yu, Yu Zongzheng, and Madam Yang were left in the Songtao Courtyard.

Yu Zongzheng no longer had any scruples. His eyes were red as he glared at Yang Shuwan. “Yang Shuwan, how dare you? Brother Si is my only son. In the future, he will have to take the path of a scholar and bring honor to his ancestors. How dare you…”

He had been inferior to his second brother since he was young. After the Yu family declined, he had entered the court with his second brother and needed money to settle everything. His mother had asked him to marry Madam Xie because she thought that his future was not as bright as his second brother’s. She was worried that his second brother would marry a merchant girl and hinder his future, so she had sacrificed him.

He was indignant, so he had made a mistake regarding Yang Shuwan.

Brother Si had been smart and motivated since he was young. He had the intention to nurture him well. He couldn’t be inferior to Second Brother.

However, he had never expected that this stupid woman, Madam Yang, would actually spoil his son!

Yang Shuwan clutched her chest, her face turning pale from the pain. Even her forehead was covered in sweat. As she cried miserably, she admitted her mistake. “Master, I was wrong. I won’t dare to do it again. Please forgive me this time. Brother Si is still young and insensible. It’s not too late to teach him well when he moves into the courtyard. Master, Master…”

“Shut up!” Yu Zongzheng roared in exasperation, his body trembling uncontrollably. “You b*tch. I was blind back then to have married you despite Mother’s objections. Mother was right. You’re just a shameless b*tch.”

As the saying went, one would grow old with the same habits picked up at three years old.

Three years old was the key to a child’s temperament and upbringing. Therefore, wealthy families would enlighten a child that was three years old, teaching him rules, logic, and how to read and write.

If he developed a good temperament, he would be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort in his studies.

Yu Shansi had been raised badly. It would take a lot of time to teach him again, and he was already much behind his peers.

If he couldn’t be educated, his life would probably be over.

Yang Shuwan felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She looked at Yu Zongzheng in disbelief. “Master, how could you treat me like this? Back then, you were the one who said that if you married me officially, you would treat me well for the rest of your life… If I had known earlier, I would have hung my neck and died completely after being saved from the lake that day…”

Yu Zongzheng had always felt guilty towards her because he had humiliated her in her room back then. Furthermore, because she had thrown herself into the lake and almost lost her life, he had confirmed her sincerity.

All these years, Yu Zongzheng had doted on her so much.

Yang Shuwan had originally thought that if she mentioned the past, Yu Zongzheng wouldn’t be so heartless to her.

But!

With a bang, Old Madam Yu slammed the table and said angrily, “Madam Yang, shut up. How did you enter the Yu Residence back then? Do you really think that I, an old woman, don’t know anything?”

Yang Shuwan held her breath and forced herself to maintain her expression. “Old Madam, what are you saying? Back then, when my Sister was nine months pregnant, she accidentally slipped and fell. She gave birth prematurely and had a difficult delivery. She risked my life to give birth to a daughter, so her body was damaged and she couldn’t even survive her confinement. Everyone knows this.”

Old Madam Yu stared at her. “I’ve underestimated you. Even though you’ve done something wrong, you can still keep a straight face and speak so glibly.”

Yang Shuwan’s heart skipped a beat, and her body trembled slightly. What did the old woman mean? Why did she suddenly mention Madam Xie’s death?

Yu Zongzheng also frowned. “Mother, why are you bringing this up?”

Old Madam Yu’s gaze suddenly turned fierce. “All these years, I’ve been tolerating you because you’re Brother Si’s mother. However, firstly, you can’t manage the house, secondly, you can’t raise your children, and thirdly, you can’t keep to yourself. You’re always causing trouble. Fourth Sister and Fourth Brother have all been spoiled by you. How can I continue to tolerate you?!”

Yu Shansi was drowning, so Yao Yao did her best to save him.

However, as a mother, not only was Madam Yang not grateful at all, but she also scolded Yao Yao for being a scourge and slandered her for harming Yu Shansi. She also hated her to the core.

If it weren’t for the fact that Yao Yao had grown up and made arrangements in the residence to control the situation, Eldest Son’s anger today would have been directed at her.

She was getting on in years. Although her health had improved a little, she probably wouldn’t be able to last for more than a few years. In the future, even if Yao Yao got married, she would still have to rely on her maiden family to completely establish herself in her husband’s family.

If she was despised by her father, Yao Yao would have no way out. How could her future be good?

Since Madam Yang was so unbearable to be a mother, there were some things that should be settled.

Madam Yang’s unbearable behavior made Eldest Son completely see her clearly and hate her. In the future, there would be fewer incidents in the residence, and she wouldn’t cause problems all the time.

Yang Shuwan’s body went limp. “Old Madam, I didn’t…”

Old Madam Yu stared at her coldly. “After Madam Xie got pregnant with Yao Yao, she stayed at home wholeheartedly to recuperate and didn’t pay attention to anything outside. Do you think I don’t know that it was you, that b*tch, who deliberately left the handkerchief with lipstick on Eldest Son? That’s why Madam Xie noticed something amiss and naturally discovered the affair between the two of you…”
