All Hail Cousin Brother

327 Even the Heavens Can’t Save Her

“Brother Si has been drinking your milk since he was young. On account of this, I’ve 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? He’s still a child…”

In the courtyard, only Yang Shuwan’s 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 wasn’t until the matter of Madam Yang embezzling Madam Xie’s 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 Shansi’s mother, she would not harm him.

Furthermore, she saw that Yu Jianjia was young and well-mannered. Yu Shansi was also Eldest Son’s only son. The Eldest Son would have a sister to take care of him, so nothing would go wrong.

Who knew that Yu Shansi’s 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 wasn’t good, even the heavens wouldn’t be able to save her.

Yu Zongzheng was flustered and exasperated. He suddenly stood up and pointed at Mother Mo. He was furious. “Someone, pull this dog servant down…”

Mother Mo kept kowtowing and crying. “Master, I’m innocent. Master, please show mercy…”

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, “Father, wait.”

The smile on Yang Shuwan’s 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. “Yao Yao, do you have anything to say?”

After being angry, he calmed down. He wasn’t 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, “Madam Mo is Fourth Brother’s nanny, and Mo Cai is Fourth Brother’s 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, it’s inevitable that they’ll be exposed. It’s not appropriate at all. In case someone gossips later, we have to investigate clearly. It can also show that the Yu Residence is magnanimous.”

Yang Shuwan’s expression changed. “Master…”

However, Yu Zongzheng felt that it made sense. “Yao Yao, you’re right. I was too rash. Although your fourth brother is young, it’ll be detrimental to his reputation if Mother Mo slanders him. Moreover, Mother Mo is your fourth brother’s nanny, so it’s good that she’s nurtured him. If we deal with Mother Mo like this for no reason, it’ll inevitably cause gossip.” 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, “Yao Yao, what do you think?”

Damn it!

Yang Shuwan was shocked. “Master, since Mother Mo is from the main courtyard and this concerns Brother Si, as her mother, I naturally can’t stay out of it. This matter…”

Before she could finish speaking, Old Madam Yu sneered. “You can’t even manage the servants in your own courtyard well, causing a mess in the house. Don’t interfere in Brother Si’s matters.”

Yu Zongzheng nodded. “Mother is right. It’s best to let Yao Yao handle it.”

“Master, I’m Brother Si’s mother. You…” Yang Shuwan’s body went limp. She already knew that it was over.

Yu Youyao glanced at her indifferently and said, “Fourth Brother was drowning. Although it’s wrong for Mo Cai to not stop him, he’s still loyal to his master and has contributed a lot. Auntie Mo has helped Fourth Brother, so it can be offset by today’s merit. So, sending the two of them to the manor can be considered due to their master-servant relationship. However…” She paused slightly and looked up at the servants in the courtyard. “The others who serve Fourth Brother and left their master’s 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, it’ll…” At this point, she paused slightly and enunciated every word, revealing a bone-chilling coldness. “Be up to the heavens!”

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 people—

It wasn’t 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 “mind games” 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.

“Eldest Miss, please show mercy. We didn’t mean to leave Fourth Young Master’s 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 servants…”

It was obvious that Fourth Young Master had drowned because he was too naughty.

As servants, how could they win over their master?

They weren’t 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 Mo’s life. As long as they confessed the truth, Eldest Miss would definitely spare their lives.

“Shut up, shut up, shut up…” Yang Shuwan’s 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 Youyao’s words.

How was that possible?
