262 Marquis of Changxing’s Residence
Yu Youyao’s gaze was indifferent as she scanned her surroundings. Her gentle and smiling voice suddenly faded. “All the young misses here are from reputable families. They’ve been well-mannered since they were young. Whether I’m well-mannered or not, my elders will comment on it. I won’t admit it even if all the young misses say it.”
All the young misses looked at each other, unable to hide the awkwardness on their faces. They were all young ladies and rarely went out. Those with thin skin even blushed on the spot and covered their faces with their handkerchiefs, not daring to look up.
Previously, when Seventh Miss Cao had criticized Yu Youyao, they had often helped to speak up for her. They had only thought that Seventh Miss Cao’s status was important, so they had the intention to build a relationship with her. It was inevitable that they would welcome her. Unexpectedly, Yu Youyao was not an easily bullied person.
After this commotion, they became the ones who had no upbringing.
However, Yu Youyao was very smart. Even if she said that someone wasn’t well-mannered, she wasn’t as straightforward as Seventh Miss Cao. She was caught off guard and directly retorted with the style of a woman, making everyone speechless.
Yu Youyao sucked on a flower, looking extremely bright. “This is the first time I’ve seen someone rushing to embarrass themselves.”
“Yu Youyao, I’m the Seventh Miss of the Marquis of Changxing. How dare you scold me…” Cao Yingxue screamed, her mind exploding. She was about to rush forward…
She was wearing a dress that reached the ground today, and the side of the dress landed lightly on the ground.
When she walked, the hem of her dress fluttered gently, making her look even more light and noble. When she sat, her water-like cloud silk dress was piled up at her feet, looking as beautiful as a flower.
She had finally shown her character.
Such a dress was beautiful, but it also tested one’s bearing and behavior. One had to be especially careful.
However, at this moment, how could Cao Yingxue still remember her manners?
Her eyes were focused on Yu Youyao’s delicate face and calm demeanor. When she thought about how she had been splashed with tea and how she had been accused of being “uneducated”, she wished she could slap Yu Youyao’s face until her mouth was crooked and her face was swollen. Only then could she vent the resentment in her heart.
Unexpectedly, she rushed over in a hurry and stepped on the corner of her dress. Her body staggered, and her eyes widened in fear as she screamed, “Ah, ah…”
“Be careful…” Lu Mingyao was shocked and subconsciously pulled Cao Yingxue back.
But it was too late!
“Ah, ah—” Cao Yingxue screamed as her body fell forward. Even Lu Mingyao, who was pulling her, staggered. Her face turned white in shock as she frantically tugged at Yu Jianjia’s sleeve.
Yu Jianjia couldn’t dodge in time. When Lu Mingyao pulled her, her body immediately tilted. Her jade-soled shoes slid forward, and she heard a cracking sound from her ankle. There was a sharp pain in her ankle, causing her eyes to turn red and her face to turn as pale as paper.
With a bang, the three of them fell into a pile.
The change happened in a flash, catching everyone present off guard.
Yu Youyao was also dumbfounded. For some reason, she felt that this scene was…
Very funny!
Yu Shuangbai, Qi Sinian, and Song Wanhui were also dumbfounded. Just now, they had arrogantly mocked Yu Youyao for not having any upbringing and wanted to embarrass her.
Unexpectedly, it had only been a short while, but they had already fallen into a pile. They were the ones who had embarrassed themselves. They were really a joke.
Wasn’t it poisonous?
The maidservants standing outside the pavilion were also stunned by this change. They were stunned for a short while before they snapped out of their daze. They hurriedly ran into the pavilion and helped the young misses up.
“It hurts…” Cao Yingxue fell the hardest. Her forehead was red, and it would swell up in a while. Not only that, but she also felt a headache, a pain in her hands, a pain in her waist, a pain in her legs, and a pain in her entire body.
Cao Yingxue was in pain and anger. Her liver and lungs were about to explode, and her eyes were turning black.
It was all because of that b*tch, Yu Youyao!
How hateful!
The corners of Lu Mingyao’s mouth were also red and throbbing with pain. She lowered her head and covered her mouth with a handkerchief, not daring to be seen. However, she was furious.
She had been a precious young miss since she was young. No matter where she went, she would be flattered. When had she ever been in such a sorry state?
She had never suffered such humiliation before.
Yu Jianjia wasn’t any better. Although her face wasn’t injured, she had sprained her ankle and was in great pain. As soon as she stood up, it hurt so much that she almost couldn’t breathe. The blood drained from her pale face, and even her forehead was covered in sweat.
She bit her lip and stood there trembling like a flower. Her weak and pitiful posture was really pitiful.
At this moment, the madams had finished watching the show. They surrounded the Marquis of Weining’s wife and the Marquis of Changxing’s wife and came over majestically to admire the flowers. At a glance, they saw that the atmosphere in the octagonal pavilion was amiss.
The Marquis of Changxing’s wife’s eyes flashed.
The residence had originally wanted to ask the Empress Dowager for Nanny Xu to enter the residence and teach Seventh Miss the rules. Who knew that the Empress Dowager would not agree? Later, when Nanny Xu left the palace, she wanted to invite her into the residence, but the Yu Residence beat her to it.
How could Seventh Miss be happy when she found out about this?
Hence, she vented her anger on Eldest Miss Yu.
It did not matter if the most important family in the Marquis of Changxing’s Residence invited Eldest Miss Yu over and asked Yingxue to make things difficult for her and teach her a lesson so that Seventh Miss could vent her anger.
However, since they had already come this far and something had happened in the octagonal pavilion, she couldn’t ignore it. The Marquis of Changxing’s wife was the first to walk into the pavilion. Before she could react…
Cao Yingxue threw herself into the arms of the Marquis of Changxing’s wife and cried aggrievedly. “Mother, Eldest Miss Yu is really too ill-mannered. How can she splash tea on someone’s face after just a few words? She even caused someone to fall. Boohoo, Mother, it hurts so much. I’ve never been so embarrassed in my life. Boohoo, I don’t want to live anymore…”
Not only was her daughter’s forehead swollen, but the hairpin on her head was also loose and messy. She looked miserable.
Instantly, there was nothing she didn’t understand.
Yingxue had failed to make things difficult for her. Instead, she had suffered a loss, and accused Yu Youyao of starting it.
However, the madams did not expect that such a thing would happen in the octagonal pavilion while they were watching a show. Their expressions darkened.
The Marquis of Changxing’s wife stroked Cao Yingxue’s back, and her warm smile faded. Her expression turned cold bit by bit. “Eldest Miss Yu, what’s going on?”
Yu Youyao stood at the side, her face pale. Her eyes were red, and tears flowed silently. Her thin figure trembled slightly, making her look small and pitiful.
Without waiting for her to speak, Yang Shuwan acted like a kind mother and quickly said, “Madam, it’s my Eldest Miss’s fault in this matter. My family usually indulges her a little…”
