All Hail Cousin Brother

345 Vicious Woman

She turned around and instructed an old woman beside her, “Clean up the things that were smashed in the house. Make a booklet of whatever was damaged and send it to First Madam to fill it up.”

The things in Yu Shansi’s house were all from the government, and the things that were broken were also from the government. It was only right that Madam Yang fill in the gaps as his mother.

The old woman nodded repeatedly.

When she saw Yu Youyao, Yu Shansi shouted, “Yu Youyao, did you cause me to drown? Did you harm my mother and sister? I’ll tell Father and get him to chase you out of the Yu Residence…”

Yu Youyao’s expression was indifferent, and she couldn’t even be bothered to explain. “Calling your sister by her name means you show no respect for seniority.” She turned to instruct Liu’er, “Go and invite the nanny from the residence over. Let her teach Fourth Young Master the rules well. Before Fourth Young Master learns the rules well, he’s not allowed to take half a step out of the Songtao Courtyard. The monthly allowance of the Songtao Courtyard will be halved.”

Liu’er agreed and went out to invite the nanny over.

However, Yu Shansi shouted, “I’m Father’s only son. If you dare to treat me like this, Father won’t let you off…”

He was just a spoiled child, so Yu Youyao did not indulge him. “Eldest Madam Yang has migraines and is recuperating in Tranquil Heart Residence. Third Sister is seriously ill and needs to rest quietly. She’s not allowed to be disturbed. It’s said that an eldest sister is like a mother. Since I’m the eldest sister, it’s my duty to raise the younger siblings in the family. If you’re unhappy, feel free to look for Father.”

After all, he was still a child. He was usually spoiled by his mother and pampered by the servants, so he was arrogant.

However, today he encountered Yu Youyao who was even more unreasonable than him. Not only did she not coax him, but she also treated him bluntly.

Yu Shansi was furious, aggrieved, and sad. He immediately became a weak and helpless little pitiful child. He cried at the top of his lungs, “Mother, ah, ah, sob, I want my mother. I want to go find her…”

Yu Youyao chuckled. “On the account that Fourth Brother drowned yesterday and was frightened, I’ll forget that you were smashing things today. If there’s a next time, you’ll starve for a day.”

Yu Shansi stared at her in disbelief and shouted, “You, you, I’m already crying, but you’re still treating me like this. Wah, you vicious woman. You harmed my mother and sister, and now you want to harm me. Let me tell you, I’m my father’s only son…”

Yu Youyao’s gaze darkened. “Fourth Young Master’s lunch can be used to feed the dogs in the courtyard today.”

Yu Shansi immediately wailed in grievance. “Wow, I want to tell Father that you’re bullying me and not giving me food…”

Yu Youyao instructed the servants in the Songtao Courtyard calmly, “In the future, you don’t have to report anything in the Songtao Courtyard to me anymore. Just report it to Zhao Da and let Father decide.”

With that, she left Songtao Courtyard with the old maid.

Seeing that she had left decisively, Chun Xiao couldn’t help but ask, “Young Miss, are you really not going to care about Fourth Young Master?”

Now that Young Miss was in charge of the household, Old Madam was old and his eldest sister was like a mother. If Young Miss did not care about Fourth Young Master, wouldn’t no one care about him?

Yu Youyao said calmly, “I will act accordingly. Fourth Brother has been spoiled, so Father won’t be at ease letting others interfere with Fourth Brother’s upbringing.”

Besides, she did not want to care about Yu Shansi.

After Yu Youyao returned to the Jade Courtyard, she instructed Liu’er, “Tell the small kitchen to brew a pot of medicinal cuisine to nourish one’s body every day and send it to Concubine Qiu. It’s time for her to nourish her body and spread her roots in the family.”

She did not care if Concubine Qiu could help the Yu Residence.

However, her grandmother had suffered a huge blow because of Yu Shansi, so she couldn’t just stand by and watch.

Madam Yang was not a problem. In order to deal with her, Yu Jianjia could even kill her own brother, so she had to be wary. In order to prevent her from using Yu Shansi to cause trouble in the future, it was indeed time for the first branch to have more children.

In An Shou Hall.

Old Madam Yu had been copying Buddhist scriptures in the temple hall for the entire morning. It was only when it was time for lunch that Nanny Liu came over to call for her. “Old Madam, it’s time for lunch. Eldest Miss sent over the Eight Treasures Cake that she personally made this morning. She just ordered someone to send over some nourishing medicinal cuisine. You haven’t had much breakfast. You have to eat a few mouthfuls after lunch. Otherwise, Eldest Miss will be worried.”

Only then did Old Madam Yu stop writing and sigh slightly. “Let’s go!”

Nanny Liu quickly helped her up and went to the outer room to eat.

Perhaps because she did not want to ruin her granddaughter’s kindness, Old Madam Yu forced herself to eat a small bowl of medicinal cuisine. After using two pieces of Eight Treasures Cake, she could not eat anymore.

“Have you settled the matters in the main courtyard, the Songtao Courtyard, and the Huan Courtyard?”

Madam Yang was in charge of the house, and she had also damaged it, causing the servants to be disrespectful. When Brother Si drowned in the water, the entire residence was in chaos. Everyone changed.

Nanny Liu nodded. “It’s all been handled. All the people who served First Madam have been beaten and sold to the brokerage house. The others have also been tied up and sent to the manor to do manual labor. The Songtao Courtyard and the Huan Courtyard have also been dealt with the same way.”

She paused for a moment and continued, “In the residence, we chose a group of servants to enter the residence and trained them for a few days. They can still be used. On Fourth Young Master’s side, Eldest Miss sent Nanny Yin over to teach him the rules. Third Miss also chose someone who knows some pharmacology to serve him. However, we still have to search carefully for appropriate people to serve him.”

This arrangement was also timely. This messy matter had come to an end. Old Madam Yu’s expression softened slightly. “That’s good. You can choose from the rest first.”

Nanny Liu agreed.

“Go to the storeroom and pick some supplements and send them to Concubine Qiu. The medicine for the few maidservants by Eldest Master’s side has also stopped. Take good care of their bodies and give orders that if anyone can get pregnant, they will be promoted to concubine.” At this point, Old Madam Yu sighed slightly. After a while, she said, “It’s time for the first branch to have more children.”

In the past, she had never interfered in the matters of the main courtyard.

Firstly, it was because her health wasn’t good and she didn’t have the energy to manage it. Secondly, it was because Madam Yang was in charge. Thirdly, it was also because her eldest son trusted Madam Yang. She didn’t want to waste her effort..

However, Madam Yang had caused trouble for the first branch.

Fourth Miss had been raised to be more ambitious and wanted to surpass her sister.

Brother Si had been spoiled. He was almost seven years old and had not even learned all the principles.

Even Third Miss had been neglected too much. Her body had been damaged and she was so weak.

It was time for her to step in.

Nanny Liu agreed in a low voice.

Old Madam Yu drank some tea. The faint medicinal bitterness entered her throat, and the depression in her heart eased a little. “How are the arrangements at home for the Dragon Boat Festival tomorrow?”

Nanny Liu smiled. “Eldest Miss is in charge of the family. How can there be any mistakes? She has already prepared it well. I guarantee that you won’t have to worry.”

Old Madam Yu was a little gratified, but also a little uncomfortable. “That’s true. The family was in such a mess yesterday that even I felt that it was troublesome, but Yao Yao didn’t panic at all. She could handle things one by one and not let me worry. In that case, what else can’t she handle?” At this point, she couldn’t help but sigh. “It’s really hard on a half-grown child.”
