336 Going Crazy
With that, Yu Youyao retreated and slowly walked to the Buddhist shrine. She took out three incense sticks from the incense box and lit them. Then, she knelt on the ground and bowed three times. She stood up and offered the incense into the incense burner. “Mother, you can’t neglect the Buddha who has entered the house.”
It was easy to invite Buddha over, but difficult to send him away. Since the Buddha had already entered the house, she had to burn three incense sticks every morning and night.
Yang Shuwan had no choice but to agree.
Yang Shuwan suddenly felt a splitting headache. She held her head and groaned in pain, but her ears kept ringing like a nightmare…
!!
In front of Buddha, confess to my mother—
Confess to my mother—
Confess—
Con—
Yang Shuwan suddenly covered her ears and screamed, “Take it away, take it away…”
Yu Youyao frowned. “Calm down and live in peace. I’m worried about my mother who will stay in the courtyard and let her imagination run wild. I’m worried you can’t recuperate, so I brought over a Buddhist shrine and asked you to copy scriptures every day like Grandmother and chant Buddhist scriptures to pray for the elders in the family and my children.”
Even the servants in the room felt that Eldest Miss was kind.
Everyone in the residence said that First Madam’s illness was serious and she needed to recuperate in peace. That was why Old Madam had chosen the most remote and quiet residence for First Madam to stay in so that she could recuperate well.
However, today, Fourth Young Master’s drowning incident had blown up. Everyone in the residence knew that this was just an excuse.
It was First Madam who had led Fourth Young Master astray and even slandered Eldest Miss. That was why Eldest Master was angered and sent Eldest Madam Yang to this place.
First Madam was not despised by Master. Eldest Miss cared about their relationship, but First Madam did not appreciate it. She was really heartless.
The sandalwood fragrance in front of the Buddha filled the entire room, making Yang Shuwan feel suffocated. She breathed rapidly and took a deep breath.
It was as if there was a demon in front of her. It was clearly Yu Youyao’s face, but it had suddenly become Madam Xie’s.
Her eyes widened, but in the blink of an eye, Madam Xie’s beautiful face had twisted into a green-faced, gnawed demon. She was walking towards her step by step, her mouth wide open…
“Ah…” Yang Shuwan screamed like a lunatic. “Yu Youyao, you’re taking revenge on me, right? You hate me for causing your mother’s death, so you deliberately attacked Brother Si and acted out today’s scene, causing your father to completely despise me. You’re so young, but you’re actually so vicious. I really underestimated you in the past…”
Yu Youyao’s expression was indifferent. “Mother, what nonsense are you talking about? Back then, my birth mother slipped and had a miscarriage. That was why she had a difficult delivery and I was born prematurely. After giving birth to me desperately, she fell sick and passed away in less than a month. How did she get involved with you?”
“Hahaha.” Yang Shuwan laughed as if she had lost her mind. “Why are you pretending? Didn’t you ask me to repent to your mother? You already knew the truth. Haha, that’s right. I was the one who caused your mother’s death. I originally only wanted to go with the flow and enter the Yu Residence to be a noble concubine. Who would have thought that your mother would actually have a short life? Instead, she fulfilled my wish and I became the legitimate second wife of an official. Haha, if you want to blame someone, blame Xie Roujia for having a cheap life…”
“Pa—” Yu Youyao suddenly raised her hand and slapped Yang Shuwan’s face. “As a junior, I have no right to interfere in the matters between the elders. However, since you’ve personally admitted that you were the one who caused my mother’s death, I don’t think this matter is fake. If I don’t hit you, it won’t be able to resolve the resentment and hatred in my heart!”
Yang Shuwan covered her face and looked up, screaming in disbelief, “Yu Youyao, how dare you hit me…”
Bam! Yu Youyao slapped her again, her eyes like knives scraping across her body. “You harmed my mother’s life. This slap was for my dead mother. I don’t think it’s too much.”
Blood seeped out of the corner of Yang Shuwan’s mouth. “Yu Youyao, I’m your mother…”
Bam! Yu Youyao slapped her again. “This slap is for myself. All these years, although I’ve been raised in Grandmother’s house, I’ve always treated you, my stepmother, respectfully and politely. However, you actually caused my mother’s death. It’s hateful that I’ve acknowledged a schemer as my mother for so many years. I’m really unfilial.”
“Ah…” Yang Shuwan screamed and fell to the ground. She had been slapped three times in a row. Yu Youyao had used all her strength, each slap more ruthless and heavier than the last. Her face was burning with pain, and even her ears were buzzing. As long as she opened her mouth, the wound at the corner of her mouth would hurt so much that she would gasp.
Yu Youyao turned around. “Let’s go!”
The servants in the room looked terrified. It turned out that Eldest Miss had arranged for them to send First Madam some food and clothes, as well as a Buddhist shrine.
Not only did First Madam not appreciate it, but she also said that she had caused the death of the first wife, First Madam Xie!
This, this…
It was simply shocking.
The old people in the residence could most likely guess that back then, Eldest Madam Yang had already gotten involved with Eldest Master before she even married into the family. Who would have thought that Eldest Madam Xie’s death was actually related to Eldest Madam?
No wonder Old Madam had locked Eldest Madam Yang up in the Tranquil Heart Residence.
Eldest Miss’s three slaps were too light.
Yu Youyao left the house step by step. It was drizzling outside again.
She lowered her head and gently untied the sachet at her waist, playing with it in her hand.
There was a small amount of thorn apple incense in the sachet. This incense would not be harmful to the human body for the time being, but the fragrance would cause one to be in a daze.
Yang Shuwan had migraines. She only needed to inhale a little thorn apple fragrance to be affected.
Thorn apple incense, when used together with the sandalwood in front of the Buddha, would have a slight hallucinatory effect. It could induce fear in people’s hearts and make them become irritable and crazy.
If she hadn’t known that her mother’s death was also Yang Shuwan’s doing, she wouldn’t have used the thorn apple fragrance to deal with Madam Yang.
Letting Madam Yang live alone for the rest of her life was also the greatest punishment for her.
Unfortunately, she knew.
She had gone crazy in front of the servants in the residence and admitted that she had harmed the first wife. Madam Yang’s reputation was completely ruined, and she could forget about ever making a comeback in this lifetime.
Mother, the Yu Residence owed you the truth.
I’ve given it back to you!
The Yu Residence owed you justice.
I’ll get it for you.
Chun Xiao held the lamp and was a little worried. “Young Miss, are you alright?”
“Let’s go. Imperial Physician Hu should be here soon.” It was already dark, and the rain was pattering on the umbrella. Yu Youyao was wearing small sheepskin boots and stepping on the rain.
After managing the family again, most of the Yu Residence was under her control. That was why she could make arrangements as soon as possible and take the initiative after Yu Shansi fell into the water.
Therefore, after she left the Songtao Courtyard, someone reported what happened after that to her.
Yu Zongzheng had hidden Yang Shuwan from her. Her mother had lost a lot of blood because she had been pushed and fell. She had not been treated in time and had barely given birth to her. That was why she had died early.
On the other hand, Yang Shuwan had always thought that it was the handkerchief she had left on Yu Zongzheng that had caused her mother to slip.
