161 Live Off Someone While Secretly Helping Another

“Old, Old Madam…” Yang Shuwan called out awkwardly. She had unexpectedly seen Yu Youyao. Thinking about what had just happened, new and old hatred welled up in her heart.

No wonder Yu Youyao had handed over the household manager’s key so easily. She had been waiting for her here.

In the past, all these dog slaves had been beaten and punished.

This little b*tch had fed these people some kind of bewitching potion. In just half a month, she had already made these people cozy up to her. contemporary romance

Yang Shuwan pinched her handkerchief and pressed it against the corner of her mouth. Her eyes turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes. Just as she opened her mouth to speak…

When Old Madam Ma saw Old Madam and Eldest Miss, it was as if she had seen her master. She quickly crawled over and knelt on the ground with a thud. She wailed, “Old Madam often said that First Madam is old and careless. She asked us old servants to work harder. I gave First Madam pointers because I’m honest and listen to everything Old Madam says. I really take your words to heart.”

“I’m another old servant who doesn’t know my place. I only said a few unpleasant words, but I offended First Madam. It’s all my fault. Old Madam, please punish me…”

Yang Shuwan immediately gritted her teeth. She did not expect this old villain to complain first. “Old Madam, this…”

At the side, Liu’er knelt on the ground with a thud. “Old Madam, the new rules have been set for many days, and there have been no mistakes in the residence. Everyone has been more dedicated to their work than before. I don’t understand either. This new rule is fine, but why does it have to be the same as before? It’s such a big matter, but the residence doesn’t even have any regulations. We’ve only said a few words, but who knew that First Madam would be so angry on the spot. She opened her mouth and wanted to slap Godmother. She even took a teacup and smashed it on her. Even though Godmother was in the wrong, she’s still loyal to the residence. Old Madam, please understand.”

Yang Shuwan glared fiercely at Liu’er. She felt that this girl looked a little familiar, but she couldn’t remember who she was for a moment. However, she recognized that this girl was from the main courtyard.

This despicable thing lived off her but helped someone else!

She was simply too hateful!

She quickly explained, “I didn’t say I wanted to cripple—”

At this moment, a few more old servants knelt down one after another. “Old Madam, it’s not that we want to cause any trouble. It’s just that everyone is doing their best, but from First Madam’s words, it’s like we’re all lawless, disrespectful, and bullying the master. It’s really disappointing…”

Everyone spoke at once, and Yang Shuwan did not even have the chance to speak. Her face turned green with anger.

These dog slaves were indeed not easy to deal with.

Old Madam Yu heard everything but was in no hurry to speak. Instead, she looked at Nanny Liu. “What exactly happened?”

Madam Yang’s key had yet to be used, but she had already angered everyone in the residence.

It wasn’t that Madam Yang was stupid, but that she was too selfish. No one could sit still when their own interests were involved.

Madam Yang had underestimated Yao Yao’s ability to manage people and even used the same method as the previous mistress of the household.

However, when Yao Yao was in charge of the household, she treated the servants as people. In contrast, Yang Shuwan treated them like dogs. No one was stupid, so how could they not feel it?

It was fine in the past.

Now that there was a comparison, who could stand it?

Nanny Liu stepped forward and whispered in front of Old Madam, telling her everything that had happened, including what Yang Shuwan had said previously.

After hearing this, Old Madam Yu felt more confident. She turned to look at Yang Shuwan. “Who said anything about changing the rules of the residence? Have you asked me about such a big matter?”

Yang Shuwan’s expression also froze. “Old Madam, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t say that I was going to change the rules of the residence. It’s just…”

Old Madam Yu couldn’t bear to listen to her explanation and said sternly, “You didn’t say anything, so how did you cause a commotion? Do you think the rules are something that can be settled with just a twitch of your tongue? What do you think our Yu Residence is? After managing the family for a few years, do you think you’re the ruler of this residence? Does everyone have to listen to you? Even the emperor has to look for important ministers of the cabinet to discuss matters together. It’s serious business.”

On the first day of being in charge again, she had been thinking about making her own rules and putting on airs. However, no one was stupid. Once her own rules were created, the new rules that had just been established in the residence would probably be useless.

Even if she did not explicitly say that she wanted to abolish the old rules and replace them, the servants still had to make a scene to prevent Madam Yang from getting her way.

Yang Shuwan pinched her handkerchief. “Old Madam, that’s not what I meant. I… Yao Yao didn’t discuss this with me when she set the rules…”

Yu Youyao’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes turned red. “It was because of Mother Yang and Zhou Yongchang’s matter that made Mother angry. That’s why you thought that it was my fault for not managing the household well. Mother was seriously ill, but you still had to worry about the family matters, causing your illness to worsen. I didn’t dare to tire Mother out anymore. The rules of the residence were also discussed with the stewards and pushed forward with Grandmother’s approval. I was the one who didn’t think it through. It was only right for Mother to blame me…”

Yang Shuwan looked as disgusted as if she had swallowed a fly. Her face stiffened. “This, I’m not blaming you, but…”

Old Madam Yu frowned. “You handed in the key yourself. You were the one who said that you had a migraine. The doctor said that you should take good care of it and not interfere with family matters anymore. Poor Yao Yao. She’s worried about her mother’s health and feels sorry for an old woman like me who still has to continue working at such an old age. That’s why she was helping to manage the house. Go out and ask around. Which young miss in the capital needs to help manage the house when she’s only Yao Yao’s age?”

Yu Youyao lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly, as if she was really hurt by Yang Shuwan.

“It’s not just because of this…” Upon hearing Old Madam’s words and seeing this scene, Yang Shuwan was instantly furious. She wished she could slap this little b*tch.

Old Madam Yu continued coldly, “It’s also because you’ve worked too hard and are seriously ill that Yao Yao thought of a way to make new rules so that you can be more relaxed in the future. She’s being filial, but you, her stepmother, have lost your position and are blaming Yao Yao instead. Just say this out loud and let others hear it. Let’s see if you still have any face left.”

It was obvious that Yu Youyao, that little b*tch, had ulterior motives. Now, based on Old Madam’s words, it had become her filial piety. Even the rules were set for her?

Yang Shuwan’s eyes widened in disbelief as she turned to look around.

Seeing that many servants in the courtyard were actually nodding in agreement with Old Madam, she was shocked that they actually thought so too. Then what had she become? What had she become?
