330 Disgust
Madam Xie was someone who was not easily fooled, so she had an argument with Master…
Yu Zongzheng stared at Yang Shuwan fiercely, his eyes revealing a terrifying ferocity. “Madam Yang, you, you…”
“No, it wasn’t me.” Yang Shuwan suddenly took a step back. As she shook her head, she sobbed. “Old, Old Madam, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I know that you’ve always looked down on me for being the daughter of a concubine, but you can’t wrong your me.” She subconsciously looked at Yu Zongzheng and cried, “Master, I had nothing to do with Sister Xie’s death. Hurry up and help me explain to Old Madam. I…”
If it were in the past, Yu Zongzheng would definitely fall for her tricks. He would not hesitate to disobey Old Madam and protect her.
But now!
Yu Zongzheng staggered back a step and reached out to support his forehead. His mind was filled with the image of Madam Xie lying in a pool of blood, and all the strength in his body seemed to have been drained.
Old Madam Yu stared at Yang Shuwan. “I think you won’t shed a tear until you see the coffin.”
At this moment, Nanny Liu came over with a box.
“Take a good look at what this is. Hmph!” Old Madam Yu took the box from Nanny Liu’s hand and threw it at Yang Shu’s feet without even looking at it.
Yang Shuwan was shocked and took a few steps back. She couldn’t help but look at the ground.
The palm-sized box also couldn’t withstand the force. After smashing it so hard, the box opened, and a snow-green handkerchief fell out of the box.
Yu Zongzheng was stunned for a moment. He recognized this handkerchief. Back then, he had mistaken Yang Shuwan for a maidservant from the Yang Residence and dragged her into the bed. He messed around with her for the entire night.
The next day, when she woke up, Yang Shuwan was sitting on the bed, wrapping her naked body in a blanket, but it couldn’t hide her snow-white and trembling shoulders.
She had taken this handkerchief and cried while wiping her tears. At the same time, she had confided in him and admired him.
The snow-green handkerchief was not as bright as before. The surface of the handkerchief was a little yellow. There was a willow branch embroidered on it and a poem. “The moon is on the willow branch, and people will meet after dusk.”
Beside the poem, there was a brownish-red mark. On closer look, it was a lipstick mark.
“Ah…” Yang Shuwan screamed and suddenly took a step back, shaking her. “No, it wasn’t me. It wasn’t me. Master, I didn’t do it. I didn’t do it. I didn’t cause Madam Xie’s death. It wasn’t me. I didn’t leave the handkerchief on you. Someone must have framed me…”
Yu Zongzheng looked at Old Madam Yu dejectedly. “Mother, why didn’t you tell me back then…”
Old Madam Yu looked at him coldly. “Back then, you were bewitched by Yang Shuwan’s behavior as a lowly concubine. You were determined that Yang Shuwan was from a scholarly family and was a good person. No matter what others said, you wouldn’t listen. If I had taken out this handkerchief at that time, I’m afraid Madam Yang would have shed a few tears in front of you. You would have thought that I was deliberately framing her in order to stop Madam Yang from entering the family!” At this point, she changed the topic and sneered. “Madam Xie’s life was harmed by you and Madam Yang. Even if you knew about this, do you think you could feel at ease?”
Madam Xie’s death had nothing to do with her,
But!
She was biased towards her eldest son and treated Madam Xie unfairly.
Her eldest son had done something inappropriate, and Madam Yang was pregnant. If she did not cover up this matter and let Madam Yang enter the family as soon as possible, the Yu Residence’s reputation would be ruined, her eldest son’s future would be ruined, and her second son’s future would be obstructed. The Yu Clan would also be humiliated.
She had no choice.
“I’m didn’t. I didn’t. Master, believe me, it’s not me…” Yang Shuwan knelt on the ground with a thud and hugged Yu Zongzheng’s leg, crying miserably.
Yu Zongzheng did not like Madam Xie. Although they were not husband and wife, he had never wanted her to die.
Now that Master had already despised her and knew about Madam Xie’s death, with her deliberate schemes, it would probably be a light punishment to divorce her.
Yu Zongzheng took a step back and lowered his head. He looked around blankly and stared at Yang Shuwan, who was lying at his feet. He suddenly roared, “Vicious woman, tell me, how many more things are you hiding from me?”
Yang Shuwan lay on the ground and cried bitterly.
Yu Youyao was in charge of the house, and Yu Youyao was also in charge of the Songtao Courtyard. Wasn’t it Yu Youyao’s fault that Brother Si had drowned?
Why was it her fault in the end?
As her mother, how could she harm her own son?
The person who had drowned was Brother Si. He had almost lost his life after walking through the gates of hell. However, in the end, everyone said that it was her fault?
How did things turn out like this?
“Yu Youyao, yes, it’s Yu Youyao!” Yang Shuwan muttered to herself. Suddenly, she shivered and thought of something. Previously, when Yu Youyao was sitting beside Old Madam with a cup of tea in her hand and squinting at her, her eyes were filled with disdain. She couldn’t help but shiver and scream, “It’s Yu Youyao. It’s all that b*tch Yu Youyao’s fault…”
“Shut up.” Yu Zongzheng frowned and glared at her. “Although Yao Yao has been raised in front of mother since she was young, she always treated you with respect. How dare you say such dirty words about her? How hateful…”
Yang Shuwan’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Master, don’t be deceived by Yu Youyao. Everything that happened today was clearly Yu Youyao’s doing on purpose. She was the one who caused Brother Si to drown and deliberately put on such a show. Yu Youyao is a demon. You were all bewitched by her…”
Yu Zongzheng couldn’t take it anymore and flew into a rage. “You vicious woman, don’t spout nonsense. Yao Yao is pure, filial, kind, and virtuous. She’s filial to her elders, manages the house, and shares the burdens of her elders. She’s also close to her siblings and knows how to study and improve. You harmed Fourth Sister. and Brother Si. Now you want to harm Yao Yao…”
If word of this got out, it would probably damage Yao Yao’s reputation.
Yang Shuwan looked at Yu Zongzheng in shock.
Yu Zongzheng stared at her coldly. “You vicious woman. As a wife, you can’t share your husband’s burden and manage the house. As a daughter-in-law, you can’t be filial to your elders and serve your mother-in-law. As a mother, you can’t raise your children. You’re vicious. You don’t have the kind and virtuous nature that a woman should have.”
Yang Shuwan’s face was covered in tears. She looked at Yu Zongzheng’s eyes, which were filled with disgust and disdain for her. She couldn’t help but shake her head and cry, “Master, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Please don’t divorce me. I’m Brother Si’s mother. Brother Si is still young. He can’t live without a mother, Master…”
Yu Zongzheng’s eyes were bloodshot. “On account of Si’er, I won’t divorce you. But Yang Shuwan, from now on, I don’t want to see you in the residence.”
“Master, you can’t treat me like this…” Yang Shuwan cried miserably and suddenly hugged Yu Zongzheng’s leg tightly.
