All Hail Cousin Brother

323 Accepting Someone’s Goodwill

Forget it, he had accepted her goodwill. Imperial Physician Shi continued, “Lord Yu has really given birth to a good daughter. No wonder even the Empress Dowager praised her for being clean and honest. Yao Yao is kind-hearted. Her every move today deserves such praise.”

Although his praise was deliberate, it was not an exaggeration.

Eldest Miss Yu was magnanimous and intelligent.

Her younger brother was in trouble and his life was at stake. Her stepmother only knew how to be anxious like a crazy woman, but she was still willing to use such a precious musk medicinal fragrance pill to save her younger brother.

This was benevolence, righteousness, and virtue.

After he came to treat him, she specially asked him to rest in the side courtyard and “wait” for her father to return home.

This was also part of her plan. As long as he confirmed that his younger brother was really fine, even if Yu Zongzheng was very angry, he would lose 70-80% of his anger.

As for the remaining anger, he was afraid that Eldest Miss Yu had other arrangements.

This was etiquette, wisdom, and virtue.

The Empress Dowager’s praise for Yu Youyao was really spot-on. The Lantian Jade Palace token was also well-deserved.

In two years, this Eldest Miss Yu would probably be amazing!

Why not befriend such a powerful person?

Yu Zongzheng smiled when he heard this. “My daughter doesn’t deserve such praise from a doctor.”

The two of them chatted politely for a while before the old imperial physician said that he wanted to leave.

Yu Zongzheng politely sent him out of the residence.

When he returned to the residence, Yu Zongzheng turned to look at Zhao Da and couldn’t help but sigh. “It’s all thanks to Yao Yao that Brother Si is fine today. Let’s visit him.”

Zhao Da heaved a sigh of relief.

He couldn’t help but sigh. There was no one who did things more beautifully than Eldest Miss.

If it were Eldest Madam Yang, she would probably have pushed him out to take the blame for today’s matter. However, Eldest Miss’s slight arrangements turned a bad thing into a good thing.

Fourth Young Master was fine.

Eldest Master felt relieved.

Yu Zongzheng walked all the way to the room in the Songtao Courtyard. When he saw Nanny Liu and Nanny Li guarding the room, he felt relieved.

“Where’s Eldest Miss?” Yu Zongzheng asked Nanny Liu.

When Nanny Liu saw that there was no anger on Master’s face when he mentioned Eldest Miss, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Eldest Miss has rushed to the Songtao Courtyard and asked Mother Tao to gather all the servants who entered and left the courtyard today. She’s asking Old Madam questions now.”

When Yu Zongzheng heard this, he understood.

After Brother Si’s accident, Madam Yang was not in charge and only cared about worrying and panicking. It was inevitable that Songtao Courtyard would fall into chaos. It was her eldest daughter who stabilized the situation and did everything well.

It was obvious that Yao Yao was doing her best to find out the reason for her younger brother’s accident.

Yu Zongzheng turned to look at Nanny Li and asked, “Where’s First Madam? Fourth Young Master is still unconscious. As his mother, why isn’t she taking good care of him?”

Eldest Master’s face revealed a hint of anger, and his aura pressed down on Nanny Li until she almost couldn’t breathe. “This, First Madam, she…”

Nanny Li groaned inwardly.

How was she supposed to answer this?

She couldn’t possibly say that First Madam had returned to the main courtyard to wash up and dress up after Fourth Young Master had just entered the gates of hell. As her mother, First Madam still had the mood to wash up and dress up. How inappropriate would that sound in Eldest Master’s ears?

It was even worse to say she returned to the main courtyard. How could anything in the residence compare to Fourth Young Master, who had just entered the gates of hell?

Yu Zongzheng looked at this old servant who did not dare to speak. He knew that there was something wrong and was furious. “Tell me honestly.”

Nanny Li knelt on the ground with a thud. “Madam… Well, it was Eldest Miss who splashed tea on Madam’s face. Madam’s makeup was also smudged, and it’s really an eyesore. She’s worried that Fourth Young Master will be frightened when he wakes up later, so she went back to her room to change her clothes. She’ll be here soon.”

When Yu Zongzheng heard this, he was furious again. “In my opinion, this cup of tea didn’t wake her up.”

Brother Si had drowned, and everything that had happened in the Songtao Courtyard had been arranged by Yao Yao, her stepdaughter. Brother Si had also been saved by Yu Youyao, and the imperial physician had also been invited in by her. Now, it was actually Yu Youyao and her mother who were interrogating the servants.

What was she, Yang Shuwan, doing?

She still had the cheek to go back and wash up?!

Nanny Li was dumbfounded. No matter what, she couldn’t figure out why Eldest Master was so angry at Madam when Fourth Young Master had drowned. As Eldest Miss’s stepdaughter, it was disrespectful to splash tea on her stepmother’s face. Why was Eldest Master reprimanding First Madam?

What the hell was going on?

That shouldn’t be the case!

At this moment, Chun Xiao came over and bowed to Eldest Master. “Master, Old Madam and Eldest Miss are questioning the servants in the side courtyard. When Eldest Miss found out that you had returned to the residence, she specially ordered me to come over and let you know. Fourth Young Master’s drowning is no small matter. Do you want to go over and listen?”

Yu Zongzheng nodded. “Let’s go take a look!”

He had heard about what happened after Si’er drowned. Until now, he still did not know why Si’er had drowned.

Si’er was the only legitimate son of the first wife. He was going to inherit the family business and carry on the family line. He would bring glory to his ancestors. If anything happened to Si’er, he had to investigate clearly.

As soon as Yu Zongzheng entered the side courtyard, Yu Youyao put down her teacup and took a step forward to greet him. “Greetings, Father.”

Yu Zongzheng smiled and said, “Yao Yao, you’ve worked hard today. Quick, sit down!”

Before Yu Youyao could sit down, Yang Shuwan received the news and rushed to the side courtyard. contemporary romance

As soon as she saw Yu Zongzheng, Yang Shuwan pinched her handkerchief and cried, “… Brother Si is still so young. How could he have suffered such a disaster? At that time, Brother Si was splashing around in the lake, shouting ‘Help’, ‘Mother, save me’, and the water kept pouring into his mouth. He was about to sink into the water when a few old maids jumped into the lake and pulled him ashore…”

Thinking of her son drowning, Yang Shuwan still felt a lingering fear.

Yu Zongzheng only knew that Si’er drowned, but he did not know that the process was so dangerous. When he heard this, he was also shocked. His expression, which had just eased up, tensed up again and became ugly again.

As Yang Shuwan cried, she recounted how she had been unconscious after her son was rescued ashore. How anxious, anxious, afraid, and worried she was…

She already knew how to pretend. At this moment, her lousy pretense was filled with 70% sincerity. She was very pitiful, and she magnified it.

...

Every word and sentence showed that she was heartbroken. Those who heard it would be sad, and those who heard it would cry.

Yu Youyao lowered her head and gently rubbed the incense beads on her wrist. She had to admit that Madam Yang was really good at dealing with Yu Zongzheng, and Yu Zongzheng fell for it.

However, she did not fall for it!

As Yu Zongzheng listened, his anger towards Yang Shuwan dissipated a little.
