All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 328 - 328 You Stupid Woman!



328 You Stupid Woman!

No matter how stupid Yu Zongzheng was, he knew that what Mother Mo had said just now was probably not groundless.

The only son he had high hopes for was probably not as smart and motivated as he thought.

...

Anger rushed to his head, but Yu Zongzheng suppressed it and stared at the servants on the ground. “What exactly is going on? Tell me honestly word by word. If you dare to lie at all, you’ll be charged for betraying your master.”

“Master, please spare us. We’ll talk, we’ll talk…” Great Zhou Dynasty’s servants would be beaten and thrown into the government office to be exiled.

There was no need to interrogate them about what happened next. Everyone obediently confessed everything that Yu Shansi had done in the past.

Yu Youyao’s lips curved slightly, revealing a hint of warmth.

Zhao Da was her father’s trusted aide and was deeply trusted by him. Therefore, after Yu Shansi drowned, she first sent someone to inform Zhao Da.

After her father returned to the residence, he “reported truthfully” about what had happened in General Zhao’s residence. He expressed that Fourth Young Master had been saved by Eldest Miss, so it was easier to gain her father’s trust.

Next, the servants she had arranged appeared.

Everyone in the residence said that Eldest Miss had stepped forward when Fourth Young Master’s life was in danger and saved his life. As his mother, Madam Yang was not able to do anything and almost lost Fourth Young Master’s life.

It had planted a seed of dissatisfaction with Madam Yang in Yu Zongzheng’s heart.

Next, it was the imperial physician’s turn.

No matter what outsiders said, it was nothing compared to what Yu Zongzheng had personally heard from the imperial physician. After Yu Shansi drowned, he was saved by Eldest Miss and was fine.

After going through so many layers, Yu Zongzheng firmly believed that his eldest daughter had saved his precious son.

All that was left in his heart was his dissatisfaction with Madam Yang, which had been planted by Yu Youyao.

And this seed of dissatisfaction broke out of the ground just as Madam Yang was about to splash the dirty water of Yu Shansi drowning on her.

Then, she did not refute. Instead, she knelt on the ground and retreated. When she admitted her mistake, she created a surge of anger directed at Yang Shuwan.

She had stepped forward when Madam Yang’s son’s life was in danger and tried her best to treat him. After that, she was even willing to reflect on herself and admit her mistake.

As a mother, she did not do anything at all when her son’s life was in danger. Not only did she almost cause him to lose his life, but she also did not reflect on herself after that. She even pushed the responsibility to the person who had saved her son.

Everyone knew who was right and who was wrong.

In this round, Yang Shuwan was acting, and she was scheming against the hearts of the people. Ever since Yu Zongzheng stepped into the Yu Residence, she had been leading Yu Zongzheng by the nose.

She had calculated Yu Zongzheng’s heart from the beginning.

After that, she pushed the boat and pushed Carpenter Zhao out. Carpenter Zhao did not mention that the wooden railing had been damaged. He only said that the wooden railing was not tightly repaired. He even reminded Madam Yang to keep an eye on Yu Shansi.

In this way, Yu Shansi could not blame anyone else for falling into the water. It was Madam Yang who did not take good care of him.

In order to shirk her responsibilities, Madam Yang naturally implicated Yu Shansi’s servants.

However, everyone in the residence knew that Yu Shansi was Eldest Master’s jewel. No one could bear the blame if Yu Shansi drowned.

Mother Mo had a long-standing grudge against Madam Yang. For the sake of her son, she could only take the risk to accuse Yu Shansi.

She was betting that Old Madam and Eldest Miss would reward and punish them clearly, so that they could still live. After all, Mu Jin would only die, while Mother Yang and Steward Zhou could still live.

In this round, she had calculated the hearts of the people and Mother Mo’s love for her son.

Her treatment of Mother Mo was clear, showing her benevolence.

Dealing with the servants who served Yu Shansi was also considered to be a win-win situation.

They felt that Eldest Miss was clear about rewards and punishments and was kind-hearted. If even Mother Mo could survive, they would be able to live if they confessed the truth.

This was the art of the mind games.

Just because Yu Shansi was her father’s only son, Yang Shuwan thought that she could succeed in the residence.

Little did she know that water could carry a boat, but it could also overturn it.

In the past, no matter how much Yang Shuwan caused trouble, although her father was annoyed and her grandmother hated her, she was still tolerated because she had given birth to a legitimate son.

After all, Madam Yang was Yu Shansi’s mother.

But!

If her father found out that the son she had high hopes for had actually been raised so badly by Madam Yang and that he had been kept in the dark for many years…

This monstrous anger was not something Madam Yang could withstand.

“… First Madam dotes on Fourth Young Master. Fourth Young Master doesn’t like to study, so First Madam spent money to bribe Master Li not to tell Master about Fourth Young Master. In order to prevent Master from suspecting him, Fourth Young Master’s homework was done in advance and then taken to Master. Even his memorization was taught by Mo Cai word by word after he learned it. As time passed, Master was less worried and wouldn’t often review Fourth Young Master’s homework…”

All of them were afraid that they would fall behind, so they explained at once.

Old Madam Yu’s expression darkened.

Yu Zongzheng was even more dizzy. At the thought that the only son he had high hopes for had actually been raised into a piece of trash by Madam Yang, he was extremely furious. His strong body could not take it anymore and he staggered back a step, almost losing his balance and falling to the ground on the spot, barely holding onto the table behind him.

“Fourth Young Master has a bad temper. Although Master Li has received First Madam’s money, he’s a pedantic and noble person. Fourth Young Master doesn’t learn well and is often beaten and punished. When Fourth Young Master is angry, he doesn’t dare to cause trouble with the Master, so he often hits Mo Cai to vent his anger. Mo Cai often has injuries on his body. If Master doesn’t believe me, you can call Mo Cai over and take off his clothes…”

Yu Zongzheng stared at Yang Shuwan fiercely, as if he wanted to eat her.

“Shut up, you dog slaves. How dare you spout nonsense…” Yang Shuwan was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her thin figure trembled. “Brother Si is just young and insensible…”

She had originally planned to find a reason to push Mother Mo and her son out when Si’er was a little older and push all the blame to them.

However, she had never expected that Yu Youyao, that b*tch, would actually provoke Mother Mo to bite her. Even the servants who served Brother Si jumped out to bite her.

“The people serving Fourth Young Master were personally arranged by First Madam. The servants in the main courtyard are not allowed to approach the side courtyard where Fourth Young Master lives without permission…”

“You stupid woman!!” Yu Zongzheng couldn’t stand it anymore. In his anger, he suddenly stepped forward, raised his leg, and kicked Yang Shuwan’s heart.

“Ah—” Yang Shuwan clutched her chest and screamed, “Master, it hurts, it hurts…”

Old Madam Yu frowned and glanced at the servants in the courtyard. “Keep your mouths shut. All of you can leave!”
