All Hail Cousin Brother

316 Get Out of Songtao Courtyard

This question stunned Yang Shuwan.

Hearing Yu Youyao’s pretentious expression and words, she did not know what to say. She could only glare at her resentfully, wishing he could eat her up.

Yu Youyao lowered her head and wiped her tears. She forced herself to calm down and said, “Mother, you’re worried about Fourth Brother. As your daughter, I naturally understand your feelings. It’s just that Fourth Brother’s life and death are unknown. The imperial physician hasn’t entered the residence yet. Mother, please calm down and prioritize Fourth Brother’s safety. As for other matters, I definitely won’t push away my responsibility.”

At this point, it would really be unreasonable for Yang Shuwan to continue making a fuss.

Yang Shuwan was shocked and looked at her son in panic.

At this moment, Nanny Xu carried a small box and hurried into the house, with Xia Tao following behind her.

Yu Youyao’s eyes turned red, and she quickly said, “Nanny, Fourth Brother, he… quickly help take a look at him…”

Nanny Xu did not have time to say anything else and quickly stepped forward.

However, Nanny Li blocked her and did not let her pass.

Yang Shuwan glared at Yu Youyao. “Take your people and get out of Songtao Courtyard.”

As the saying goes, suspicion breeds ghouls.

During this period of time, she and Jia Jia had been harmed badly by Yu Youyao. On the first day that Brother Si moved into the courtyard, he had drowned. Furthermore, Yu Youyao was the one who had renovated the Songtao Courtyard. Yu Youyao was the most suspicious. Anyone would suspect her.

How could she dare to let the person in front of Yu Youyao approach Brother Si?

Therefore, she treated Yu Youyao as a plague and wished she could kick her out immediately.

Yu Youyao was burning with anxiety, so she could only comfort her gently. “Mother, Nanny Xu used to serve in the palace and is knowledgeable. It’s better to let her take a look at Fourth Brother first. The imperial physician hasn’t come yet. Fourth Brother’s health is more important. We can’t delay…”

Yang Shuwan glared at Yu Youyao fiercely. As she glared, the Yu Youyao in her eyes suddenly became two. The image in front of her constantly separated and overlapped.

She was shocked. She blinked and focused!

Yu Youyao was still Yu Youyao.

A chill suddenly ran down her spine.

Although Yu Youyao had been raised in Old Madam’s house since she was young, she had also raised her.

In the past, Old Madam doted on her. She was a half-grown child, and did not have much knowledge. She only knew how to eat, drink, and play all day. She was a stupid person.

She was about to be crippled by Old Madam.

But!

Ever since Yu Youyao fell seriously ill, she seemed to have suddenly become a different person.

A half-grown child had learned how to manage a household.

A half-grown child had yet to mature fully. What family could she manage?

However, the servants in the residence seemed to be muddle-headed. Everyone said that Yu Youyao was good!

In the past, Master hated Yu Youyao, the eldest daughter of the first wife, the most. She was either reprimanded or scolded.

How long had it been? It was as if he had been possessed and decided that Yu Youyao was a good person. He believed Yu Youyao’s instigation and became more and more distant from her.

Even Jia Jia did not have a good time.

That was one thing, but what right did Yu Youyao have? She was just a half-grown child, but she had already gained the Empress Dowager’s recognition and became a noble lady!

This was ridiculous.

How could a person change so much in just three months?

Unless Yu Youyao was simply…

Yang Shuwan couldn’t help but shiver as she suppressed her fear. “It’s all your fault that Brother Si is like this. Get lost. There’s no need for you to pretend to be a good person.”

She often heard that children were easily provoked by unclean things.

Especially after a serious illness, the yin energy was the heaviest.

Could it be…

“Mother, calm down. Fourth Brother’s condition can’t be delayed…” Yu Youyao also had a headache.

The guarded look in Yang Shuwan’s eyes almost materialized. She was determined that she was the one who had harmed Yu Shansi. Worried that she would have ill intentions towards Yu Shansi, she did not even let Nanny Xu go forward.

At the mention of Fourth Brother’s life, Yu Jianjia was also terrified. She tried to persuade her, “Mother, what are you doing? I don’t know when the imperial physician will be able to enter the residence. Although Nanny Qin is proficient in pharmacology, Fourth Brother has been in a coma for so long and hasn’t woken up yet. If this drags on, the consequences will be unimaginable. Quick, get Nanny Xu to take a look at Fourth Brother. Nanny Xu is capable. She might have a way…”

If anything happened to Fourth Brother, Yu Youyao would be the first to bear the brunt.

Other than her and her mother, the person who was most worried about Fourth Brother’s safety now was Yu Youyao, so Yu Youyao would naturally do her best to save him.

Nanny Xu also said, “First Madam, I’ve once seen an imperial physician in the palace dealing with drowning.

“Yu Youyao, don’t even think about getting close to Brother Si. I won’t let you harm him. Give up…”

Yang Shuwan’s eyes widened as she stared at Yu Youyao fiercely. The corners of her eyes almost cracked, and her face twisted and looked a little crazy.

Yu Youyao felt that something was wrong with her emotions.

Knowing that Yu Shansi’s condition couldn’t delay any longer, Yu Youyao suddenly picked up the teacup on the table, strode forward, and splashed it on Yang Shuwan.

“Ah—” Yu Jianjia exclaimed. She clenched her fists and suddenly pressed them against her chin. Thinking of the scene at the Flower Festival in the Marquis of Changxing’s Residence, she felt a sense of fear.

Caught off guard, a cup of tea was splashed face. It was as if someone had slapped her. A “pfft” sound rang in her ears. Immediately after, her face was wet, and water stains slid down her face.

Yang Shuwan was stunned. She stood rooted to the ground, dumbfounded. She had already forgotten to react.

The other servants in the room were also dumbfounded as they watched this scene in disbelief.

No one expected Eldest Miss to be so swift and decisive, splashing tea on First Madam’s face.

Everyone thought of the same thing at the Flower Festival at the Marquis of Changxing’s Residence when she splashed tea on Seventh Miss Cao’s face.

Yu Youyao’s expression darkened. “Mother, calm down.” With that, she turned around and shouted outside, “Someone!”

The two old maids waiting outside quickly lifted the curtain and entered the house. “Young Miss.”

“Pull First Madam away.” When they came to the Songtao Courtyard, they had considered that since Yu Shansi had fallen into the water, the Songtao Courtyard might also be in chaos, so they had brought the old maids over. If anything really happened, it would be more convenient to order them around.

Unexpectedly, it was really useful.

The two old maids were from the Jade Courtyard. They listened to Eldest Miss’s orders and ignored Madam Yang. They rushed over and held Yang Shuwan on both sides.

This scene stunned everyone present.

They looked at Eldest Miss, who was standing quietly in the room. She was a head shorter than First Madam, and her figure was thin.
