327 Even the Heavens Canât Save Her
âBrother Si has been drinking your milk since he was young. On account of this, Iâve always treated you well. Not only did I let your son, Mo Cai, serve Brother Si, but I also let him go to school with him. He can read and write, and Brother Si treats you very well as a nanny. Why are you treating him like this? Heâs still a childâ¦â
In the courtyard, only Yang Shuwanâs tearful voice could be heard.
Old Madam Yu was not a fool, so she naturally could tell that something was amiss.
After Madam Xie passed away, she fell seriously ill and her health had not been good since. Madam Yang was in charge of everything in the residence.
!!
It wasnât until the matter of Madam Yang embezzling Madam Xieâs dowry that she forced herself to perk up and take over the large dowry that Madam Xie had left behind.
However, in this way, her health was deteriorating, and she did not have the energy to care about the other descendants in the residence.
Madam Yang was keeping a close eye on Yu Shansi and she did not want her grandmother to interfere in his upbringing.
In order to prevent Madam Yang from using this to cause trouble, she simply let go.
She thought that since Madam Yang was Yu Shansiâs mother, she would not harm him.
Furthermore, she saw that Yu Jianjia was young and well-mannered. Yu Shansi was also Eldest Sonâs only son. The Eldest Son would have a sister to take care of him, so nothing would go wrong.
Who knew that Yu Shansiâs fall into the water today would also expose something else?
Yu Youyao frowned slightly, her green sparrow hair revealed a hint of oppression. She watched Madam Yang act quietly, her eyes filled with coldness.
So what if she was good at acting?
If her brain wasnât good, even the heavens wouldnât be able to save her.
Yu Zongzheng was flustered and exasperated. He suddenly stood up and pointed at Mother Mo. He was furious. âSomeone, pull this dog servant downâ¦â
Mother Mo kept kowtowing and crying. âMaster, Iâm innocent. Master, please show mercyâ¦â
Yang Shuwan pinched her handkerchief to hide the cold smile on her lips. How dare a mere dog slave fight with her? She was really courting death.
Seeing that the show was almost over, Yu Youyao was very satisfied. She glanced at Yang Shuwan and said slowly, âFather, wait.â
The smile on Yang Shuwanâs lips gradually froze. She suddenly looked at Yu Youyao, her eyes filled with surprise.
This little b*tch had always been very cunning. What did she want?
In his anger, Yu Zongzheng turned to look at his eldest daughter. âYao Yao, do you have anything to say?â
After being angry, he calmed down. He wasnât proficient in the internal affairs of the residence. He still had to ask Yao Yao for her opinion on how to deal with this matter. That way, it would be more appropriate.
Yu Youyao said calmly, âMadam Mo is Fourth Brotherâs nanny, and Mo Cai is Fourth Brotherâs servant. The two of them have served the residence for many years and are also loyal. Now that they suddenly slandered Fourth Brother in public, itâs inevitable that theyâll be exposed. Itâs not appropriate at all. In case someone gossips later, we have to investigate clearly. It can also show that the Yu Residence is magnanimous.â
Yang Shuwanâs expression changed. âMasterâ¦â
However, Yu Zongzheng felt that it made sense. âYao Yao, youâre right. I was too rash. Although your fourth brother is young, itâll be detrimental to his reputation if Mother Mo slanders him. Moreover, Mother Mo is your fourth brotherâs nanny, so itâs good that sheâs nurtured him. If we deal with Mother Mo like this for no reason, itâll inevitably cause gossip.â In the future, if Brother Si embarked on an official career, it would be inevitable that people would talk about such an unclear matter. It was still his eldest daughter who had thought it through, so he asked, âYao Yao, what do you think?â
Damn it!
Yang Shuwan was shocked. âMaster, since Mother Mo is from the main courtyard and this concerns Brother Si, as her mother, I naturally canât stay out of it. This matterâ¦â
Before she could finish speaking, Old Madam Yu sneered. âYou canât even manage the servants in your own courtyard well, causing a mess in the house. Donât interfere in Brother Siâs matters.â
Yu Zongzheng nodded. âMother is right. Itâs best to let Yao Yao handle it.â
âMaster, Iâm Brother Siâs mother. Youâ¦â Yang Shuwanâs body went limp. She already knew that it was over.
Yu Youyao glanced at her indifferently and said, âFourth Brother was drowning. Although itâs wrong for Mo Cai to not stop him, heâs still loyal to his master and has contributed a lot. Auntie Mo has helped Fourth Brother, so it can be offset by todayâs merit. So, sending the two of them to the manor can be considered due to their master-servant relationship. Howeverâ¦â She paused slightly and looked up at the servants in the courtyard. âThe others who serve Fourth Brother and left their masterâs side without permission have betrayed their master. Each of them will be punished with 30 strokes of the paddle and thrown out of the residence. Whether they live or die, itâllâ¦â At this point, she paused slightly and enunciated every word, revealing a bone-chilling coldness. âBe up to the heavens!â
After saying that, Yu Youyao picked up her tea casually and slowly sipped on it. Her attitude was casual, as if just a word from her had decided the lives of more than ten peopleâ
It wasnât like her!
Old Madam Yu tilted her head to look at her granddaughter, but she smiled.
Although Madam Yang was a narrow-minded person, she still had a way of manipulating people. The people in front of Yu Shansi were all people she trusted. Even if she asked, she might not be able to get anything out of them.
After the 30 strokes, half of their lives were gone. If they were thrown out of the residence, they would probably not be able to survive without treatment.
However, a servant who had betrayed his master was an existence that would be scorned at wherever he went. How could he survive?
Smart people never had to drag things out. They often hit the nail on the head.
During this period of time, she had really not taught her the âmind gamesâ for nothing.
Yao Yao had grasped the human heart perfectly.
Just as Yu Youyao swallowed the tea, more than ten servants rushed out and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.
âEldest Miss, please show mercy. We didnât mean to leave Fourth Young Masterâs side. It was Fourth Young Master who insisted on going to take a look when he heard that the lake was repaired well. We tried our best to stop him, but he refused to listen. He even threatened us with First Madam, saying that if anyone dared to stop him, he would be slapped and sold out of the residence. First Madam doted on Fourth Young Master. All these years, because of Fourth Young Master, she has dealt with many servantsâ¦â
It was obvious that Fourth Young Master had drowned because he was too naughty.
As servants, how could they win over their master?
They werenât the ones in the wrong. Why should they lose their lives?
Eldest Miss was kind-hearted and had always been clear about rewards and punishments. On account of their relationship, she had saved Mother Moâs life. As long as they confessed the truth, Eldest Miss would definitely spare their lives.
âShut up, shut up, shut upâ¦â Yang Shuwanâs eyes widened. She looked at Yu Youyao as if she had seen a ghost.
The people in front of Brother Si were all her most trusted aides. Now, they had actually betrayed her because of Yu Youyaoâs words.
How was that possible?
