Chapter 321 - 321 I'll Teach You a Lesson
321 I’ll Teach You a Lesson
Zhao Da was flustered, but he was still the most capable person by Eldest Master’s side, so he quickly calmed down.
He found a servant boy in front of Eldest Master and instructed, “It’s the first day since Fourth Young Master moved into the courtyard today. I’ll go back and take a look first. When Eldest Master asks later, just tell him the truth.”
...About a while later, the messenger from the residence would arrive.
He had to return to the residence before Eldest Master did and find out what was going on. When Eldest Master asked later, he would be able to give an explanation.
The servant looked obsequious. “Brother Zhao is still the most thorough. No wonder Master thinks so highly of you…”
Fourth Young Master was Eldest Master’s eyes. Zhao Da had done his best for Fourth Young Master. If Eldest Master found out, he would definitely think that Zhao Da was thorough and appropriate.
After Zhao Da left the government office, he took a carriage with the servant sent by Eldest Miss. As soon as he returned to the residence, he went to discuss countermeasures with Eldest Miss.
Imperial Physician Shi prescribed the medicine, and Yang Shuwan was about to send him out of the residence.
Chun Xiao stepped forward respectfully. “Eldest Miss has instructed that Imperial Physician Shi is old and has worked hard to enter the residence for Fourth Young Master. She wants you to go to the side courtyard to rest for a while before you leave.”
It was difficult to refuse her kindness, so Imperial Physician Shi nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Chun Xiao had left with Imperial Physician Shi, Yang Shuwan’s expression turned a little ugly. Just now, she had only been focused on Yu Shansi and had actually forgotten to entertain the imperial physician well. She really shouldn’t have.
After returning to the house, Nanny Li saw that she was in a sorry state. She lowered her head and said carefully, “Madam, Fourth Young Master is already fine. I’m here to guard him. Shouldn’t you, shouldn’t you return to the main courtyard to freshen up…”
“Freshen up?!” Yang Shuwan was stunned when she heard this. Then, she realized that she had been splashed with tea by that little b*tch, Yu Youyao. Previously, she had only been worried about Brother Si.
She had actually forgotten about this.
Yang Shuwan rushed to the table and stuck her head in front of the copper basin. She saw her face with makeup reflected in the water, and she broke down.
“Ah, Yu Youyao, how dare you? I’m not done with you…” Yang Shuwan screamed and covered her face as she ran out of the Songtao Courtyard after breaking down.
After returning to the main courtyard, Yang Shuwan immediately returned to her room to change.
She thought that since Imperial Physician Shi had already diagnosed Brother Si and that he was indeed fine, Nanny Li was still taking care of him in the Songtao Courtyard, and Old Madam had also left Nanny Liu there, it was safe for Brother Si.
As soon as her heart relaxed, Yang Shuwan also had the time to think about other things.
She immediately called Sang Zhi over. “Did you find out why Fourth Young Master drowned?”
After Brother Si drowned, she was focused on his safety. She only said a few words about many things and was not in the mood to care.
Sang Zhi hurriedly said, “Madam, Eldest Miss came too quickly. She asked Mother Tao to bring all the servants who entered and left the Songtao Courtyard today to the side courtyard. No one was allowed to approach. I didn’t have time to ask clearly.”
When Yang Shuwan heard this, her face twisted with anger. “Yu Youyao, you’re so young, but you’re really scheming. Do you think this matter is over just because you’ve taken in a servant from the Songtao Courtyard? Dream on. Brother Si is Master’s only son. In the future, I still hope that he can carry on the family line and bring glory to the family. Even if he’s fine, Master will still hold people accountable. Hmph, no matter how much Master likes Yu Youyao, can she compare to his only legitimate son…”
Sang Zhi agreed deeply.
Everyone in the residence knew how much Master valued Fourth Young Master. If this matter was investigated, Eldest Miss would be blamed.
“Go and see when Master will return to the residence.” Yang Shuwan sneered. Yu Youyao, heh, when Master returns to the residence, I’ll definitely teach you a lesson!!
At this moment, Yu Zongzheng, who Yang Shuwan had been thinking about, returned to the residence anxiously after receiving the news of Yu Shansi’s drowning.
As soon as he reached the door, he saw Zhao Da welcome him.
“How’s Fourth Young Master?” Yu Zongzheng looked anxious and angry. He strode into the residence.
Zhao Da hurriedly said, “Master, don’t worry. Fourth Young Master is fine. Fortunately, Eldest Miss arrived in time and used the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill that was originally used to prepare Old Madam’s life, saving Fourth Young Master’s life. In addition, Nanny Xu treated him in time. Eldest Miss ordered someone to invite Imperial Physician Shi over. Just now, he had already treated Fourth Young Master. Not only was Fourth Young Master’s life fine, but his body wasn’t injured at all.”
There was only one meaning between the lines.
The person who had saved Yu Shansi’s life was Eldest Miss, and the person who treated him was Nanny Xu, who was in front of Eldest Miss. Even the imperial physician had been invited in by Eldest Miss.
When Yu Zongzheng heard that Yu Shansi was fine, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. As he had walked in too quickly, he had been careless and staggered, almost falling to the ground.
“Master—” Zhao Da reacted quickly and tugged at him.
Only then did Yu Zongzheng not fall. He couldn’t care less about the fact that he had almost fallen down. “Go to Songtao Courtyard to see Fourth Young Master.”
He couldn’t feel at ease without seeing his precious son—
Hence, along the way to Songtao Courtyard, Yu Zongzheng heard a servant say—
“Eldest Miss is really amazing. Fourth Young Master drowned, and First Madam, an adult, was shocked out of her wits. To think that Eldest Miss, a half-grown child, managed to save Fourth Young Master.”
“Isn’t that so? Even the imperial physician said that Fourth Young Master was only able to live because Eldest Miss had made the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill for Old Madam. Fourth Young Master lost consciousness and his life was saved because of this incense pill.”
“Nanny Qin, who was in front of Third Miss, didn’t know how to treat drowning and almost killed Fourth Young Master. It was also Eldest Miss who asked Nanny Xu to come over. Nanny Xu happened to know how to treat him, so Fourth Young Master’s life was not in danger.”
“To think that First Madam keeps saying that she’s a scourge. She keeps saying that Eldest Miss harmed Fourth Young Master and even told Eldest Miss to get lost. How shameless!”
“Eldest Miss also respects First Madam. Not only did she allow First Madam to scold her, but she also admitted her mistake. She said that she was the one who renovated the Songtao Courtyard. Fourth Master fell into the water, so she can’t absolve herself of the blame.”
“What does Fourth Young Master falling into the water have to do with Eldest Miss? Eldest Miss went to school early in the morning, and Songtao Courtyard had a busy moving in day. First Madam, as his mother, didn’t take care of Fourth Young Master. Fourth Young Master is young and is at the age of being naughty. What has it got to do with Eldest Miss?”
“Eldest Miss is also stupid. She takes all the responsibility. It’s all thanks to Eldest Miss that Fourth Young Master was able to survive today. I’m afraid that even though she was a good person, she won’t be able to get anything good and will be punished…”
After listening all the way, Yu Zongzheng’s expression darkened and he couldn’t help but slow down.
