271 What a Wonderful Person
The Marquis of Changxing’s wife sent Yang Shuwan into the carriage. As soon as they returned to the reception pavilion, Madam He, the Marquis of Zhenguo’s wife, also brought Song Wanhui along. She said that Old Madam was not feeling well and wanted to leave first.
The Marquis of Changxing’s wife felt bitter. How could she stop others from going home to “do their filial duty”?
Madam He brought Song Wanhui into the carriage.
Song Wan’s eyes sparkled. “Mother, Yao Yao is really a wonderful person. You don’t know this, but at that time, Seventh Miss Cao was in a hurry to cause trouble, while Sixth Sister Qi and I were breaking out in a cold sweat for her. We originally wanted to help her, but who knew that Yao Yao was a woman who was invincible…”
!!
Madam He did not know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this. “A single man can take on ten thousand enemies. How can you describe it like this?”
Song Wanhui told her everything that had happened in the octagonal pavilion. “As soon as Yao Yao said ‘Biographies of Exemplary Women’, Seventh Miss Cao seemed to have been struck by lightning. Even the young misses present were embarrassed and wished they could cover their faces with a handkerchief.”
Madam He was a little surprised. “She knows when to advance and when to retreat. She’s neither servile nor overbearing. Her temperament is really extraordinary.”
Song Wanhui nodded. “That’s right!”
Madam He glanced at her daughter and said, “Eldest Miss Yu is a bereaved eldest daughter. Even if she grew up in front of Old Madam Yu since she was young and no matter how well she was raised, in the future, no matter if she goes outside or meets other people, it’s inevitable that others will look down on her. There will be no lack of people like the Marquis of Changxing’s Residence who treated her badly today.”
Song Wanhui agreed deeply.
She brought bad things upon herself as a result of her bad character. If the person who had invited Nanny Xu was Second Miss Yu or even Third Miss Yu, Cao Yingxue wouldn’t dare to be such a b*tch.
The Marquis of Changxing’s wife would not want to ruin Yu Youyao’s reputation in public.
All of this was because Yu Youyao was a bereaved eldest daughter. It was also a fact that she had been “educated”, so no one could say anything else.
Madam He continued, “Seventh Miss Cao had the intention to humiliate her in today’s matter, but Eldest Miss Yu beat her at her own game and scheme. She first used women’s teachings to embarrass Seventh Miss Cao, but also revealed that she was well-mannered. She established her authority in front of the young misses. In the future, no one in the noble ladies’ circle will dare to say that she has no upbringing.”
Song Wanhui also sighed. “It’s all thanks to Yao Yao herself. If it were anyone else, they would probably have pinched their noses and admitted that they were a bereaved eldest daughter in public. They would have lost face on the spot and probably wouldn’t be able to raise their heads in the industry in the future.”
Madam He nodded. “When the Marquis of Changxing’s wife was criticizing her, Eldest Miss Yu used her grandmother, Old Madam Yu, as a tool to intimidate the dignified Marquis of Changxing’s wife. From now on, who will look down on her because she’s a bereaved eldest daughter? Eldest Miss Yu is shrewd at such a young age. She’s using the reputation of the Marquis of Changxing’s husband to settle things once and for all for herself and build a reputation for being well-mannered. Even Fifth Miss Lu of the Marquis of Weining is inferior to her. When she’s a little older…”
At this point, Madam He stopped talking.
Ordinary families could not suppress Yu Youyao’s personality. However, if she was matched with the eldest son of an aristocratic family, such a powerful personality was something that others could not ask for more. From today onwards, many families would probably have their eyes on Eldest Miss Yu.
… .
When they returned to the residence, Madam Yao arranged for Yu Youyao and Yu Shuangbai to ride in a carriage.
Yu Youyao was talking to Yu Shuangbai when she suddenly felt dizzy. There was a loud bang, clang, and clatter in her ears. This was mixed with screams and cries of pain. It sounded chaotic…
Fortunately, the coachman was skilled and quickly stabilized the horses. Yu Youyao and Yu Shuangbai asked their maidservants to protect them. They were only a little frightened and were not injured.
It was a mess in the carriage. The snacks, fruit plates, tea, incense burner, and so on were all smashed on the ground.
A few maid servants were protecting their masters and did not care about themselves. They were more or less injured. Fortunately, they were all superficial injuries.
After preparing the medicinal oil in the car, Yu Youyao asked Xia Tao to get the medicine. “Help me apply the medicine first. When we return to the residence, we’ll get a doctor to take a good look.” Then, she turned around and instructed Chun Xiao, “Go and see how Second Aunt is doing.”
Chun Xiao alighted from the carriage.
Yu Shuangbai was still in shock. She held Yu Youyao’s sleeve, feeling uneasy. “Big Sister, my mother…”
Yu Youyao held her hand. “The coachmen at home have all practiced some moves and are strong. The horses chosen were also the most docile ones. Will the others be fine too?”
Yu Shuangbai’s face was pale, and she still felt a little uneasy.
Yu Youyao lifted the curtain and saw a blue-topped carriage parked at the turn in front.
At first glance, there was nothing special about this carriage, but it was made of the best elm and wood. The key parts were made of gold and iron. The carriage was made of very old brown walnut wood. The wood was hard and tough, not easily deformed or cracked, and extremely earthquake-resistant. Even the horses—
Yu Youyao did not know much about horses, but she also felt that the horses looked impressive. After taking a few more glances, she realized that the horses were fierce and unruly. They seemed a little different from the domesticated horses at home.
As she was thinking, a corner of the curtain of the carriage opposite was lifted, and a pair of pampered hands suddenly appeared in Yu Youyao’s eyes, as well as the ring she was playing with—the Golden Glazed Jade Ring!!
All the blood in her body instantly turned cold. Yu Youyao’s face was filled with shock. She suddenly threw down the curtain and closed the window in panic.
Seeing that she did not look too good, Nanny Xu quickly asked, “You were frightened.”
Yu Youyao nodded wildly. When she saw the teacup in front of her, she suddenly felt her mouth go dry. She quickly picked up the teacup and took a few gulps of tea to calm down.
At this moment, Chun Xiao returned. Without waiting for Yu Shuangbai to ask, she said, “Second Madam asked Nanny Qian to protect her.”
Yu Shuangbai finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Yu Youyao calmed down a little and asked, “What happened?”
Chun Xiao hurriedly said, “When we turned the corner in front, a carriage rushed out and shocked Second Madam’s horses. Our horses also jumped in shock. Fortunately, Second Madam’s coachman had the strength to pull the horses off the road, so they didn’t bump into each other. The capital doesn’t allow horses to gallop. Second Madam is going to use Nanny Qian to argue with the other party.”
The horses were shocked. Fortunately, they did not hurt anyone. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. It was really dangerous. No one could pretend that they were fine.
Second Aunt was angry and wanted to ask for an explanation. It was only right.
However!
