Chapter 612: Anger

Translator: Atlas Studios   Editor: Atlas Studios

The reception pavilion was in chaos!

Before the Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence could recover from her shock, she was shocked by Old Madam Yu, who had suddenly fainted.

Old Madam Yu’s health wasn’t good, so she fainted…

The Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence’s eyes darkened, as if someone had drained all her strength. She spun around and fell to the ground) trembling. She was already so shocked that her body turned cold.

Just now, Old Madam Yu had used all her strength to smash a teacup on Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence until her head bled.

However, at this moment, no one cared about the miserable state of the Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence.

Everyone was shocked and frightened by Old Madam Yu’s sudden fainting.

Old Madam Yu’s health wasn’t good, and this wasn’t the first time. Previously, they saw that Old Madam Yu looked good, and she chatted with them happily.

Unexpectedly, the Duke Rong’s Residence had lost their conscience and morals. They actually wanted to ruin Eldest Miss Yu’s reputation.

Eldest Miss Yu was Old Madam Yu’s lifeblood. She had grown up in front of her.

Who could tolerate such a thing?

Wasn’t this anger?

After suffering a blow, the old Princess Consort finally caught her breath. She glared at the Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence and shouted, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get an imperial physician.”

In public, in front of everyone, it was impossible to deny that her eldest daughter-in-law wanted to lure Eldest Miss Yu to meet the Third Prince privately and ruin Eldest Miss Yu’s reputation.

At this point, they did not even want evidence. Everyone in the reception pavilion was a witness. Not only was the Duke Rong’s Residence completely embarra.s.sed, but they also had to suffer the anger of the Yu Residence!

Eldest Miss Yu was not the daughter of an ordinary official.

This matter involved the Third Prince again. The emperor had not been in good spirits recently, and his health was not as good as before. There was also a hidden turbulence in the struggle for the position of heir. This was a huge matter in the court.

This incident was still considered light!

Seeing Old Madam Yu’s ashen face, she was shocked and afraid.

If anything happened to Old Madam Yu in Duke Rong’s Residence, it would be completely over.

The Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residences mind was blank. She gave an order and moved quickly. Ignoring the injury on her head, she quickly got up and rushed out.

In the backyard of Duke Rong’s Residence, a courtyard had been built.

The courtyard was connected to the crepe myrtle garden, and water flowed into the garden. May was approaching, and layers of sleeping lotus flowers floated on the surface of the water, blooming leisurely.

There were cl.u.s.ters of wooden hibiscuses planted by the lake. They were beautiful and charming, complementing the lake light.

In addition, there were also many peonies, orchids, camellias, and other expensive flowers and trees in the courtyard. The entire courtyard was filled with flowers and brocades. It was beautiful.

In the past two years, Yu Jianjia had been recuperating in the manor, unlike Yu Shuangbai, who often went out with her mother, or Yu Youyao, who did not have a mother. As the eldest daughter of the first wife, she had to attend some important events, so she had naturally seen the world.

Yu Youyao had an eldest sister’s responsibilities. Before she left, she held Song Wanhui’s hand. “My grandmother is old. I’m usually the one taking care of her, so she can’t leave for a while. My third sister hasn’t been outside for the past two years, and my second sister has a lively personality. I’ll have to trouble

Sister Wan to take care of them more.”

This was her first time in the Duke Rong’s Residence, so Yu Jianjia couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. She consciously walked with Song Wanhui.

Song Wanhui was polite to her and could be considered to have taken care of her. There was no problem with that, but the Song and Yu families were family friends. If she was too polite, it would seem distant.

After Song Wanhui finished being polite to her, she turned around and said to Yu Shuangbai, “Grandmother Yu hasn’t been out for many years. She dressed in an imperial mandate dress in her first appearance in years. She’s really scary.”

Yu Shuangbai smiled and said, “My grandmother’s health wasn’t good in the beginning. It was only in recent years that she had the energy to come out and walk around. She hasn’t come out for a long time. She definitely has to put on airs as an elder.”

Otherwise, others would think that there was no one in the Yu Residence.

Qi Sinian agreed deeply, so it wasn’t appropriate for him to say too much about his elders, so he asked Yu Youyao, “Why wasn’t there a banquet at home on your big sister’s birthday previously?”

In the past two years, the court had not been peaceful, and the banquets of the various families had decreased a lot. However, it was common for the sisters who were on good terms to interact and invite each other to small gatherings.

However, the Yu Residence did not have a madam in charge, and Old Madam

Yu was not in good health. As the eldest daughter of the first wife, Yu Youyao had to be filial to her elders and teach her younger siblings. It was not appropriate for her to go out often.

Yu Youyao was still an eldest daughter without a mother. Even though no one questioned her upbringing anymore, her words and actions were more cautious than theirs.

Yu Youyao rarely joined such small gatherings.

Yu Shuangbai puffed up her cheeks. “This was Grandmother’s idea. However,

Eldest Sisters birthday was very grand. Do you still remember the Green

Parasol Tree in the Jade Courtyard that had its branches cut off?”

Tang Yunxi nodded repeatedly. “The first time I went to the Jade Courtyard, I heard you mention that it was your cousin who cut off the branches on the Parasol Tree and wanted to make a zither for your big sister.”

The Green Parasol Tree in the Jade Courtyard was very rare.

Previously, her mother wanted to ask Yu Youyao for a piece of wood to help her make a good zither. There was no Sun Paulownia but the other parts of the Parasol Tree were also precious zither materials.

She had rejected her.

The older the Parasol Tree was, the more elegant and expensive it was. With her relationship with Yu Youyao, there was naturally nothing to say if she wanted a piece of wood. However, she couldn’t use this relationship to take advantage of Yu Youyao.

Song Wanhui’s interest was also piqued. “In that case, Cousin Zhou’s zither is ready?”

Yu Shuangbai looked surprised. “It took three years for him to be finally done.

Cousin Zhou treated it as a birthday gift and gave it to Eldest Sister. Eldest Sister named it Shaoyu. The five strings of the zither are excellent and have nine virtues. My father said that this zither will be the most famous in the world.”

The few of them widened their eyes. The only famous zithers were clock, burnt

tail, and the green leaves.

Elder Yu was talented in literature. He was in a high position and was knowledgeable. Naturally, his judgment was not wrong.

“Cousin Zhou is too amazing…”

“I’m so envious of Yao Yao for having such a talented cousin…”

“I have to go to your house another day and see this famous zither…”

Yu Shuangbai looked a little smug. “Cousin Zhou even made a lacquered zither box to store the zither…

In that case, even after Yu Youyao’s birthday, Yu Jianjia had heard a lot of discussion in the residence. After hearing the same thing, she became tired of it.

She really did not know what Yu Shuangbai was showing off.

What was he so smug about?

No matter how impressive Zhou Linghuai was, no matter how good and rare the zither was, it was still Yu Youyao’s alone. Yu Shuangbai wasn’t the one who had benefited!

Yu Shuangbai naturally did not feel anything in the Second Mansion.

However, as the young misses of the main mansion, they were both his cousins. Zhou Linghuai shouldn’t favor one over the other but he didn’t care.

Not only did he show favoritism, but he also did not hide his preference for Yu Youyao and coldness to her.

It was very awkward..
