All Hail Cousin Brother-Chapter 122 - 122 Slap Her Mouth!

122 Slap Her Mouth!

Yang Shuwan was originally filled with anger and resentment, but after hearing her daughter’s casual words, her anger dissipated a little. She nodded. “Jia Jia, you’re still the one who’s thinking too clearly.”

Since she couldn’t take charge, there was no point in being anxious.

Yu Jianjia heaved a sigh of relief. “I only want Mother to be well.”

Yang Shuwan was touched and thought of Yu Zongzheng. “After Yu Youyao’s instigation, your father is becoming more and more dissatisfied with me. Now that I’m sick, it’s not good for me to approach your father anymore.”

Yu Jianjia pursed her lips slightly. “We’ve been husband and wife for a long time. Father still treats Mother well, but it’s only for a moment of anger. This time, Mother is sick. When Father’s anger has subsided a little, he’ll come over to visit her. Mother, tell Father more about your past together, and don’t mention anything about managing the household anymore.”

Yang Shuwan nodded. Seeing that her mother’s lips were dry, Yu Jianjia asked Mu Jin to pour a cup of hot tea and personally fed it to her mother.

She had originally planned to say some more comforting words to reassure her mother, but to her surprise, Hui Xiang reported, “Young Mistress, Eldest Miss said that she has something to discuss with you and wants you to go to Windfall Courtyard.”

Yu Jianjia frowned slightly. Before she could say anything, Yang Shuwan tightened her grip on the corner of the blanket and said hatefully, “This rotten little b*tch. She’s trying to show off her authority as a household manager.”

Hui Xiang was also furious. She couldn’t help but say, “Eldest Miss has something to discuss with Miss, so why can’t she come over and look for her herself? She even wanted Miss to look for her? What kind of logic is this? She clearly knows that Eldest Madam isn’t feeling well, and Miss has always been filial. Of course, she has to take care of Eldest Madam, but she still wants to order Miss around. I wonder what kind of evil heart she has.”

When Yu Jianjia saw her mother’s sallow face, an abnormal flush immediately appeared on her face. Her wet gaze landed heavily on Hui Xiang. “Shut up!”

Hui Xiang also realized that she had misspoken and quickly lowered her head, not daring to say anything else.

Yu Jianjia turned around and saw her mother. She tucked her mother in and said, “Big Sister must be looking for me for something. Don’t worry, Mother. I’ll be back soon.”

Yang Shuwan’s expression softened and she nodded. “Don’t let that b*tch Yu Youyao bully you. Although your father is dissatisfied with me, he has always doted on you the most. If there’s anything, just look for him.”

Yu Jianjia nodded and led Hui Xiang out of the main courtyard.

The Windfall Courtyard was close to the main courtyard. There was only a corridor, and it only took a few turns.

Xia Tao was already waiting outside the courtyard. When she saw Yu Jianjia coming over, she hurriedly went forward to greet her. “Third Miss is here. Eldest Miss is waiting for you in the courtyard.”

Yu Jianjia nodded and entered the courtyard with Xia Tao.

In the past, no one lived in the Windfall Courtyard. Because it was close to the main courtyard, the servants took care of it very carefully every day. It was also clean and tidy inside. Coincidentally, there was a White Jade Orchid planted inside. It was just an ordinary species, but the trees swayed in the wind, and the white flowers that fell on the branches were like lotuses. The white flowers were dazzling. They were 30% elegant and 70% pure.

Meanwhile, Yu Youyao was sitting at the stone table under the magnolia tree. Under the branches of magnolia flowers, she looked indescribably beautiful.

Seeing Yu Jianjia, Yu Youyao quickly stood up. “Third Sister, come and sit down.”

Yu Jianjia sat opposite her and called out gently, “Big Sister!”

The maidservant quickly served the tea. Yu Youyao asked worriedly, “Is Mother’s health alright? What did the doctor say just now?”

Yu Jianjia held her teacup and lowered her eyes. In a low voice, she said, “The doctor said that Mother’s diet isn’t appropriate, and it causes her stomach to heat up. She’ll recover after two days of medicine. She’ll recover after a few days of rest.”

That was indeed what the doctor meant. She was just avoiding the main point.

When Yu Youyao heard this, she heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. I still have some good medicinal herbs. I’ll get someone to send them to Mother later and let them take care of her carefully.”

However, she did not say that she wanted to visit her mother. It was obvious that Yu Youyao’s so-called “filial piety” was all an act.

Yu Youyao had to go to school, learn the rules from Nanny Xu, and help manage the household. It couldn’t be any more tiring. Even if she didn’t visit her mother, no one would say anything. This was because helping her mother manage the household was already “sharing her mother’s burdens.” It was already “filial piety.”

Yu Jianjia immediately felt that the tea in her mouth was tasteless. “Thank you, Big Sister.”

Yu Youyao shook her head. “We’re all sisters. There’s no need to be so polite. Besides, I’m also worried about Mother’s health and hope that she will recover soon.”

Yu Jianjia lowered her head and did not speak.

Yu Youyao did not mention this matter either. Instead, she changed the topic and said, “In the afternoon, Manager Sun from the Jinxiu Manor came to the residence to deliver clothes. Everyone was given a set of clothes to wear first. However, Third Sister’s clothes have to be changed, so I asked Manager Sun to bring them back and she will send them to you in two days…”

It was her first day managing the household, so it wasn’t good for her to keep causing trouble. “Too shrewd” wasn’t a good reputation, so it was inevitable that people would think that she was targeting Yang Shuwan and her daughter.

Yu Youyao wasn’t prepared to mention the lanshan either, so she helped Yu Jianjia cover it up.

Yu Youyao was an extremely smart person, so there was no need to say much. She would understand when she asked around later. 𝘧𝔯e𝗲𝙬ℯ𝙗𝓷o𝘷e𝗹.𝐜𝑜𝒎

Before she could finish speaking, Hui Xiang, who was beside Yu Jianjia, couldn’t help but interrupt, “Eldest Miss, what do you mean? Even if there are some mistakes in a piece of clothing, how wrong can it be? How could it be that our Young Mistress didn’t even see it before it was taken back by Manager Sun? Although you’re the eldest sister, you’re also in charge of the family now. You don’t have the right to make decisions for our Young Miss.”

As she spoke, Hui Xiang glanced at the young mistress. Seeing that the young mistress was pursing her lips and not saying anything, her thin body trembled and swayed a little. However, Eldest Miss was really angry.

The more Hui Xiang thought about it, the angrier she became. “Eldest Miss, you’re too much. I’m afraid you’ll deliberately make things difficult for my Miss…”

Before she could finish speaking, Yu Youyao interrupted coldly, “How can you talk back to your master? Where did you get the cheek to do so? I think it’s because Third Sister is kind-hearted. She allowed you to be so disrespectful and unruly. If she doesn’t punish you, wouldn’t all the maidservants in the residence learn from you in the future?!” As she spoke, she looked at Chun Xiao. “Slap her mouth!”

Hui Xiang’s eyes widened as she subconsciously looked at Yu Jianjia.

Although Hui Xiang had spoken too quickly and allowed Yu Youyao to pick on her, she was still eager to protect her mistress.

Besides, Hui Xiang was her personal maidservant, so she had to be the one to teach her a lesson. No one else had the right to criticize her, even if it was beating a dog.

Yu Youyao was being so blatant, yet she didn’t even take her seriously. How could she stand by and do nothing?
