All Hail Cousin Brother

Nanny Li laid beside the table alone. Her old eyes were wide open as she stared fixedly at the beam above her head. The pool of blood under her had already solidified, and the strong smell of blood was nauseating.

This was the first time Yu Youyao had faced death head-on, and it was such a tragic and abnormal death.

This scene shocked Yu Youyao greatly. Her face turned pale on the spot, and she held her breath until she couldn’t even breathe.

Nanny Liu reacted the fastest and quickly stood in front of Yu Youyao. “Eldest Miss, go to the courtyard and sit down first. The room is very dirty. It’ll affect you.”

At this moment, Yu Youyao had also calmed down. “It’s fine. It’s the death of an unkind and evil body. Do you think I’m afraid?” She walked out from behind Nanny Liu and instructed calmly, “Take a mat and wrap it up. Throw it to the mass grave. Don’t dirty the Yu Residence’s land. Go and investigate who else in her family is. Anyone related to her who works under the Yu Residence will be dismissed.’

Nanny Li had betrayed her master by framing her. No matter what the reason was, she was not worthy of sympathy.

Two old maids quickly carried Nanny Li’s corpse away.

Yu Youyao walked to the bed.

Yang Shuwan lay on the bed lifelessly. Her chest almost did not rise or fall, but she was still holding her last breath.

Seeing that Bi Tao was not in the Tranquil Heart Residence, she could guess that Madam Yang was waiting for news of Bi Tao. She did not hear any news about her and could not bear to die yet.

Yu Youyao instructed, “Wake her up.”

As soon as she finished speaking, an old woman hurriedly stepped forward and pinched Madam Yang hard.

When it didn’t work, she kept pinching.

After pinching her seven or eight times in a row, Madam Yang felt the pain and subconsciously cried out. Her eyelashes trembled slightly as she pulled her eyelids open. It took her a while to open her turbid eyes. Her voice was like a mosquito. “Bi, Bi Tao…”

The old woman did not stand on ceremony. She picked up the cold tea on the small table at the head of the bed and splashed it on her face. “First Madam, wake up.”

After being splashed with cold water, Yang Shuwan shuddered and finally sobered up a little. With her turbid eyes, she saw Yu Youyao in a green embroidered lotus dress. The lotus leaf dress was of the same color, and the hibiscus flowers were spread on both sides of her face. Such a bright color was so scorching that even her eyes hurt.

“Y-Yu Youyao, you…” Yang Shuwan seemed to be strangled, and her voice seemed to be squeezed out of her throat. “What are you doing?”

Yu Youyao’s expression was indifferent. “First Madam can’t even see clearly, so she probably can’t read.” She tilted her head to look at Nanny Liu and instructed, “Read the divorce letter to First Madam.”

Divorce letter?

Yang Shuwan’s turbid eyes suddenly cracked.

She thought that she had heard wrongly. Ever since she had a migraine, she often felt dazed. Sometimes, she couldn’t even hear clearly.

Most families cared about their reputation and their children. It was rare for them to divorce their wives.

Even if their wife violated the seven rules, they would ask her maiden family to write a guarantee and cover it up. If it was more serious, she would be placed in the small courtyard.

Yu Zongzheng had not divorced her back then. Now that she was about to die, there was even less reason to divorce her. She had never heard of any family divorcing their dying wife.

She must have heard wrongly.

As she was thinking, she heard Nanny Liu say, “l was young and inexperienced. I had been deceived by your flowery words…”

Yang Shuwan opened her mouth and panted hard. Her body seemed to be having epilepsy, and she kept twitching, spasming, and trembling. Soon, her eyes rolled back and she vomited white foam, but she still held her breath. She was extraordinarily tenacious.

Yu Youyao looked at her coldly.

The divorce letter was not long and was quickly finished.

Perhaps it was because she was about to die, but her chaotic mind had never been so clear. Yang Shuwan heard every word and sentence in the divorce letter.

She immediately understood the sinister intentions of this divorce letter.

Ordinary reasons for divorce were vague in order to take into account the last dignity of both sides and the children in the family. They would not spell out the mistakes.

However, this divorce letter seemed to be targeting her because she was not a good woman. She was about to die, so it would be over if she died. Jia Jia’s life was completely ruined.

She had schemed bitterly, but in the end, she had ruined her own daughter?!

On the other hand, Yu Youyao was fine?

No, that was impossible!

“Y-Yu Youyao, you harmed my daughter. You’ll die miserably!” Yang Shuwan glared at Yu Youyao fiercely. She used all her strength to push herself up from the bed and was about to pounce on her and skin her alive. However, her body couldn’t support her and she fell to the ground from the bed with a bang.

Yu Youyao chuckled. “Madam Yang disrespected the first wife and tarnished her reputation. It’s a calamity for the clan. She instigated the mother-son conflict between Father and Grandmother and sowed discord between Father and Second Uncle, causing brothers to quarrel. It’s a disaster for the clan. Because of Madam Yangs evil actions, Grandmother had a stroke and couldn’t get up. This is a tragedy for relatives. Such a person who caused chaos in the clan isn’t worthy of being a daughter-in-law, wife, or mother. She’s also not worthy of being a human. She should be abandoned and sent away to cleanse the family’s reputation.”

Yang Shuwan lay on the ground in a sorry state, panting non-stop. “If there’s anything, come at me. Don’t…”

“You brought this upon yourself.” Yu Youyao suddenly raised her voice, and there was a rational anger in her voice. She said calmly and sharply, “She could have been the Third Miss of the Yu family obediently. When she’s old enough, let Father make the decision and buy more dowry for a good family. Wouldn’t it have been good for her to marry into a noble family for the rest of her life?”

Yu Zongzheng still doted on Yu Jianjia the most. With Yu Zongzheng making decisions for Yu Jianjia, wouldn’t she be able to choose from the noble families in the capital?

Black blood appeared in Yang Shuwan’s mouth. She opened her mouth with all her might, but she couldn’t say a word.

“My mother used her life to fulfill the wishes of you and your daughter. She asked a shameless bed-climbing thing to be the first wife and let the traitorous child in your stomach wear the skin of a legitimate daughter.” Yu Youyao raised her voice, and her eyes suddenly turned red, but there was a ruthless glint in them. “She’s been dead for more than ten years, but you still won’t let her off. You won’t even let her daughter off..”
