All Hail Cousin Brother

267 I Won’t Let You Off

With the few of them taking the lead, the madams who were on good terms with them also chimed in.

“The young miss of a wealthy family keeps talking about upbringing. It’s as if she has married, given birth and raised a child. She’s really shameless.”

“She’s still a little young, and she hasn’t even been brought up properly. How can she say that others are ill-mannered? I’m amazed.”

“I see that Eldest Miss Yu is very well-mannered. On the other hand, Seventh Miss Cao doesn’t seem to be a well-mannered person.”

“The Marquis of Changxing’s wife is someone with a high status. How can she bully a little girl? She’s really shameless and arrogant.”

“She’s so arrogant after winning a battle, as if no one has ever won a battle before…”

Therefore, not everyone was supportive of the Marquis of Changxing’s Residence. Even those who were on good terms with the Marquis of Changxing could not speak up for him. The Marquis of Changxing’s Residence became the target of public criticism.

Cao Yingxue had never expected that this ill-mannered, rude, and shameless person would become her. When she heard many of the madams present talking about her, she was so angry that her eyes widened and her face turned red.

At this moment, Yu Jianjia was also hiding behind Yang Shuwan, not daring to show her face again.

First, Yu Youyao had used her grandmother to attack her, and then she had used the previous emperor and the current emperor’s name. No one dared to think that she was ill-mannered anymore. Then, she had pulled the Empress Dowager along, causing the Marquis of Changxing’s Residence to lose their momentum. They did not dare to pursue this matter anymore, so they could only let it go.

This was the first time she came out to show her face outside. Previously, she had used the teachings of a woman to establish her authority in front of the young misses. From now on, there probably wouldn’t be anyone who would go against Yu Youyao.

Just now, she had used her grandmother as a tool to associate herself with the previous emperor and the Empress Dowager. From now on, no one would criticize Yu Youyao for her words.

In this way, not only did Yu Youyao protect her reputation, but she also protected her grandmother. She could no longer escape the reputation of filial piety, and she had completely stood out from the noble circle in the capital.

She did not know that Yu Youyao had such a temperament and methods.

The Marquis of Changxing’s wife wanted to calm the situation down, so she quickly said, “This is Seventh Sister’s fault.” As she spoke, she turned to glare at Cao Yingxue and said angrily, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and apologize to Eldest Miss Yu.”

“You want me to apologize to her?” Cao Yingxue pointed at Yu Youyao in disbelief.

Madam Yao’s face darkened. She sneered and said to the Marquis of Changxing’s wife, “The Marquis of Changxing’s Residence is a big place. I won’t stay for this flower festival anymore. I’ll go home and report this matter to Old Madam today.” With that, she turned around and instructed Nanny Qian, “Go and report to Second Master in the front courtyard. Our family is too small to be able to reward the Marquis of Changxing’s Residence with flowers and brocades. Someone poked at Old Madam’s reputation and said that our family’s upbringing isn’t good. Eldest Master also said something.”

At the Flower Festival at the Marquis of Changxing’s Residence, the male and females mingled separately.

The Marquis of Changxing’s wife’s eyes immediately darkened. She quickly said, “Second Madam Yu, this, this child is just playing around. How can she really implicate the family?” As she spoke, she reached out and slapped Cao Yingxue’s face. She said sternly, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and apologize to Eldest Miss Yu.”

Her slap was heavy, and Cao Yingxue’s face turned red.

Madam Yao was an elder after all. Seeing that Seventh Miss had been beaten, she couldn’t continue pestering her.

She then invited her into the house and asked Yingxue to apologize to Yu Youyao. She would give her a few expensive things and comfort Eldest Miss Yu, and this matter would most likely be over.

She had thought it through very well, but she had forgotten that her daughter had been pampered by her.

Cao Yingxue was stunned by this slap. Her mother, who had always doted on her, glared at her angrily. Her mind was blank, so how could she listen to her mother?

She covered her numb face and stomped her feet as she cried. “Mother, how dare you hit me? I…”

As she spoke, she covered her face and ran away.

The Marquis of Changxing’s wife was dumbfounded. When she reacted, she was about to pull her back. “Come back. How can you have a temper like this?” She then instructed the maidservant in front of her anxiously, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and pull Seventh Miss back. Her temper is really bad…”

When the maidservants heard this, they quickly ran over to pull her back.

The scene was in chaos. Madam Yao was sick of it. She held Yu Shuangbai with one hand and Yu Youyao, who was whimpering softly, with the other. She turned around and left.

The Marquis of Changxing’s wife quickly instructed the nanny in front of her, “Hurry up and stop Second Madam Yu. Don’t let her go out.”

The nanny also knew the severity of the matter and quickly went to do it.

It wasn’t good for the madams present to stay either, so they all made an excuse to return to the reception pavilion.

It was such a good flower festival, but with such a commotion, she was too ashamed to be a daughter of the Marquis of Changxing’s Residence.

At this moment, Cao Yingxue called a maidservant over.

The Marquis of Changxing’s wife had originally felt sorry for her daughter after hitting her, but now that she saw her crying, she was also angry. “You’ve grown up. You made a fuss at the flower festival organized by your family and made your family feel ashamed. Tou’re even making a fuss in public.”

Thinking about how this flower festival had turned out like this, she was furious.

Cao Yingxue was slapped again and cried even louder. “I-I just wanted to make things difficult for her. Who knew that she was so sharp-tongued…”

The Marquis of Changxing’s wife was so angry that she felt dizzy. She stretched out her finger and poked her forehead. “The Marquis of Changxing’s Residence is a top noble family. Even if they make things difficult for others, the Yu Residence can only suffer in silence. But are you stupid? Why are you making things difficult for others? Why are you criticizing their upbringing? You’re also a young miss of a noble family. How can you say such things so easily? Even if you mention it, someone will argue with you.”

Cao Yingxue covered her face and cried. “I-I was just too angry. Yu Youyao snatched the nanny that belonged to me and I saw that she had abandoned her weak sister alone. I felt that even if she was raised by a powerful nanny, she didn’t seem to have a good upbringing, so I mocked her…”

Unexpectedly, Yu Youyao was different from the young misses she had interacted with in the past. Even if she was mocked, she did not hold it in.

Cao Yingxue felt a surge of resentment. “Yu Youyao also splashed tea on my face, causing me to accidentally trip and fall until my entire body hurts. Why is it all my fault?” contemporary romance

Thinking of Yu Youyao’s innocent and pitiful crying, the Marquis of Changxing’s wife gritted her teeth in anger. “She’s so young. How can she be so evil? She’s just a bad thing. No wonder First Madam Yu isn’t close to this stepdaughter…”

Who would dare to get close to such a scheming stepdaughter? They had to stay away lest she harmed them.
