335 Confession to My Mother
She was really pleading for mercy. On the one hand, she had to show her filial piety. At the same time, she could also probe her father’s attitude towards her mother. Only then would she know what to do next.
Furthermore, Yu Zongzheng had even reprimanded her, which meant that her mother probably wouldn’t be able to come out for a while and she shouldn’t cause trouble anymore.
When she returned to her courtyard, she fell sick and used this to gain her father’s pity. It also proved to the residence that even though her mother had entered the Tranquil Heart Residence, the Second Miss of the Yu Residence, Yu Jianjia, was still her father’s daughter, and had unknowingly stabilized her status.
No matter when or where, Yu Jianjia would never forget to scheme so that the situation that was most beneficial to her. Her schemes were mixed with sincerity. Whether it was true or false, no one could ever see through her.
This was truly brilliant.
But!
The corners of Yu Youyao’s mouth curled up. This development was completely within her expectations.
Next, they waited for Imperial Physician Hu to visit.
At that time, Yu Jianjia would truly understand what it meant to fall into your own trap.
Yu Youyao stood under the porch. The gray sky was about to turn completely dark. Lightning flashed in the clouds, and thunder was still roaring.
She gently stroked the sachet at her waist.
She had only changed into the brand new sachet after her cousin left.
At this moment, Chun Xiao walked over. “Young Miss, it’s humid outside. Hurry back to your room!”
Yu Youyao reached out to the corridor and smiled. “The rain has stopped.”
Chun Xiao looked at the sky. “It seems that the rain isn’t over yet. It should rain again later.”
Yu Youyao rubbed the sachet at her waist casually. “Go prepare a few blankets and some supplements and medicinal herbs. Also… let’s go.” Her eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a faint smile on her lips. “Let’s go to the Tranquil Heart Residence to see Mother.”
The inaudible word “mother” sounded like sleep talk.
Chun Xiao disagreed and advised, “Young Miss, the Tranquil Heart Residence has already locked the courtyard door. Why do you have to… First Madam won’t appreciate it either. You…”
Yu Youyao said calmly, “Do as I say.”
The Tranquil Heart Residence was the most remote courtyard in the residence. It was well-known, but everyone in the residence knew that this was the small courtyard that was prepared to lock up those wives and concubines who had made mistakes.
The courtyard wasn’t big. Although it wasn’t in disrepair, it was still very simple. Suddenly, it overlapped with the side courtyard where older Yao Yao lived in the Zhenguo Marquis Residence in her nightmare.
Yu Youyao was in a daze, unable to tell reality from the nightmare.
“Young Miss.” Chun Xiao looked at her young mistress worriedly. For some reason, after leaving the courtyard, her young mistress had suddenly become strange.
Yu Youyao snapped out of her daze.
The old maid guarding the door rushed over and bowed. “Hello, Eldest Miss.”
Yu Youyao said politely, “It’s raining heavily today and it’s humid. I brought some things over to visit Mother. I wonder if it’s convenient?”
“Young Miss, you’re too polite. Others naturally can’t do it, but Eldest Miss is fine. I’ll open the door now.” The old woman glanced at the servants behind Eldest Miss and quickly pulled the key from her waist, opened the lock, and pushed open the courtyard door.
Eldest Miss was in charge of the family. How could it be inconvenient?!
The Tranquil Heart Residence was simple and small. There was a well in the courtyard, and a crooked willow tree was planted beside it. Its branches hung like silk, and it was the only scenery in the courtyard.
There were a total of three rooms, so it was enough for the three of them.
Before Yu Youyao could enter the house, she heard Yang Shuwan’s hysterical screams and Nanny Li and Bi Tao’s comforting voices.
“Master can’t treat me like this. I-I’m Master’s legitimate wife and Brother Si’s biological mother. How can he be so heartless? I’m going to look for Master, Master, Master…”
“It was Old Madam who didn’t want me to have an easy time, so she locked me up in the Tranquil Heart Residence. Master doesn’t know anything, right? He said that he would treat me well. He won’t treat me like this…”
“Yu Youyao, it was that b*tch Yu Youyao who harmed me…”
When the servants following behind Yu Youyao heard First Madam call Eldest Miss a “b*tch”, they all felt that First Madam Yang really did not know what was good for her.
Yu Youyao’s expression was indifferent. She moved the curtain, passed through the screen, and walked into the house.
In the house, Yang Shuwan’s hair was disheveled as she sat on the ground in a daze. She was only wearing a gray Song Jiang cotton shirt, and she did not even have any decent jewelry on her.
Her face was still covered in messy makeup, and her beautiful face was like a withered flower. The color had already withered, leaving only a hint of twilight.
Yu Youyao frowned. “It’s raining today, and the ground is wet. Why is Mother sitting on the ground?” As she spoke, she looked at Nanny Li and Bi Tao, who were standing at the side. “What are you waiting for? Aren’t you going to help First Madam up?”
Nanny Li and Bi Tao were so shocked that they forgot to bow. Upon hearing Eldest Miss’s instructions, they hurriedly went forward and helped Yang Shuwan up.
Yang Shuwan’s confused gaze landed on Yu Youyao. Her eyes widened bit by bit. “Yu Youyao, what are you doing here? You’re here to laugh at me, right? Get lost, get lost…”
Yu Youyao ignored her and turned to instruct, “Move the things in!”
As soon as she gave the order, two old maids carried a Buddhist shrine into the house. A Buddha sitting cross-legged on a lotus flower with his eyes lowered, looking down at all living beings with a solemn expression.
Yang Shuwan looked at her hatefully. “What do you mean by this?”
Yu Youyao lowered her head and pulled out the blood beeswax prayer beads on her wrist. “It’s peaceful in the Tranquil Heart Residence, so Mother will rest well here.”
She smiled and stepped forward.
For some reason, as Yu Youyao approached step by step, Yang Shuwan suddenly felt dizzy. The person in front of her suddenly split into two in her eyes and walked towards her with a devilish smile.
“Demon…” The blood drained from Yang Shuwan’s face. Her heart was in turmoil, as if she was hanging in midair. She couldn’t help but scream and retreat. “You… what are you doing? No, come over…” When her back was against the wall and she couldn’t retreat anymore, she suddenly closed her eyes and screamed, “Don’t come over. Yu Youyao, you demon, b*tch! Don’t come over. What, what are you doing?”
Yu Youyao leaned close to her ear and said at a volume that only the two of them could hear, “Stay in Tranquil Heart Residence and repent to my mother in front of Buddha!”
Her soft voice suddenly entered her ears.
Yang Shuwan instantly froze. It was as if a snake was slowly coiling around her leg and flicking its tongue in her ear.
Hiss, hiss, hiss…
Yu Youyao slowly retreated and said in a gentle voice, “I just want to say that if you need anything, just ask the people around you to send a message. I will prepare everything for you. Why are you hiding?”
