All Hail Cousin Brother

Old Madam Yu took her hand: "Since your third sister apologized to you, she must have done something wrong, and you should suffer."

Yu Youyao nodded her head, then looked back at Yu Jianjia with a serious face: "I forgive you."

After speaking, she hesitated for a moment, then took off the Jade Buddha pendant she had just picked out yesterday, pursed her lips lightly, and put the Jade Buddha pendant in Yu Jianjia's hand with some reluctance.

Yu Jianjia was also confused and forgot to refuse for a while.

I could only hear Yu Youyao's gentle voice: "Third sister, I turned around and thought about it carefully. Although the Buddha boy sitting on the lotus jade pendant is my mother's relic, but as the elder sister, I have to take care of my younger sister more. I shouldn't annoy you, but the jade pendant has been lost, and grandma said that this jade Buddha pendant is also one of my mother's relics, so I will give it to you now."

Yu Jianjia froze.

At first glance, this statement sounds fine, but when you think about it carefully, it makes people think that she deliberately snatched Yu Youyao's mother's belongings, but it seems that she has no manners and no sense of propriety.

Yang Shuwan thought the same in her heart, she was so angry that she clenched her veil tightly.

The others also had an expression of watching the show.

On the contrary, Mrs. Yu put her arms around her granddaughter and boasted: "My little girl is really sensible, but in the future, you must remember that what your mother gave you should not be easily given to others, even if others ask for it. understand?"

The old lady's words were more like a slap on Yang Shuwan's mother and daughter's faces, which directly made them feel ashamed, and couldn't even maintain their expressions for a while.

No one in the house knew that Mrs. Xie was no ordinary merchant woman.

Xie Mansion in Quanzhou is one of the nine Minyue clans, a large tribe in the pre-Qin period, and also a survivor of the Minyue Kingdom, with a very long heritage.

The branch of the Xie family has lived in Quanzhou for generations, with deep roots, controlling the water and land trade routes.

Back then, when Mrs. Xie married into the Yu family, she wore red makeup and was very beautiful. After Mrs. Xie died young, who in the Yu family would not miss Mrs. Xie's dowry?

But Mrs. Xie is also a shrewd person. She entrusts her natal family to manage the farm, shop and other properties under her name. Every quarter, she deposits the profits in the name of the bank Yu Youyao. With the tokens, she can withdraw up to 20,000 taels a month. , more than 20,000 taels, you need to obtain the private seal of Xie Mansion before you can extract it.

The rest of the antique jade wares, ancient calligraphy and painting books, jewelry and cloth, etc. are also an extremely huge amount, all of which are handed over to the old lady for safekeeping.

Others can't even touch a copper coin.

When Yang Shuwan first came in, relying on her identity as the mistress, she secretly made a lot of money from the property under Xie's name. Later, she was exposed by Xie's old servant, which made the old lady furious.

The old lady directly sent all the people in Xie's house to the Zhuangzi shop under Xie's name, and did not let the people in Yu's mansion touch their hands at all.

Yu Youyao didn't think much about it, and responded obediently: "Understood, grandma."

After about a cup of tea, Mrs. Yu told everyone to leave.

Yang Shuwan helped Yu Jianjia back to the main courtyard.

As soon as she entered the room, Yang Shuwan waved her servants away unhappily, and became angry: "The old lady put her heart in her armpit, Yu Youyao is a motherless, unruly, uneducated thing, what is better? Why should Jia Jia apologize to Yu Youyao if she deserves to be my Jia Jia? Is Yu Youyao worthy of her?"

Yu Jianjia bit her lips lightly, and her voice was soft and hoarse: "Mother, don't be angry, be careful not to get angry. It's not a day or two since grandma favored big sister. I, I'm used to it. What's more, big sister My sister was indeed wronged and suffered because of me, and it was all my fault."

The aggrieved words made Yang Shuwan's heart furious, and she suddenly turned up the volume: "What's wrong with you? Yu Youyao knew that you were in poor health, but she still shook your hand. What is it if she didn't do it on purpose? The maid outside Where did you say something wrong? In order to protect Yu Youyao, the old lady put all the blame on Zhizi, and asked Nanny Liu to compete with me for the right to housekeeping..."

Thinking of what happened yesterday,

Yang Shuwan let out an "ouch", feeling cold and painful in her knees, she clenched her fists and beat it lightly twice.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Yu Jianjia asked tremblingly.

Mentioning this, Yang Shuwan felt angry and aggrieved: "Isn't it yesterday that in the side courtyard, the old madam was punished to kneel in front of the servants, to vent her anger on Yu Youyao, and kneeled badly?"

The old lady made her kneel for a cup of tea for a long time. Yesterday, the old lady yelled anxiously. She didn't have time to change into thick clothes. She wore thinner clothes. The ground was cold and hard. As soon as she knelt down, she felt cold It went straight into the legs, and after a while, the legs became cold and numb, and I lost consciousness.

She was helped back to the main courtyard by Nanny Li, lifted up her clothes, and saw that her knees were bruised in large areas. After seeing it, the doctor said that it was the cold and evil entering her body, and prescribed a few medicines for bathing feet, and some medicine packs for external application. It took most of the day to regain consciousness, but every day I always felt that the inside of my legs was terribly cold.

"Mother, my daughter has caused you to suffer, and you have suffered." Tears welled up in her eyes, and Yu Jianjia coughed a few more times while clutching her handkerchief.

This made Yang Shuwan's heart ache, and she didn't care about her legs, so she quickly helped her back: "Jia Jia, don't think about it, as long as you take care of yourself and take care of your body, it doesn't matter if your mother is wronged, the old lady prefers Yu Youyao It's okay, your father always faces us."

Yu Jianjia nodded slightly.

Yang Shuwan asked the maid to take Yu Jianjia back to her room to rest.

After Yu Jianjia turned her head three times and left, Nanny Li brought in the boiled soup, squatted on the ground, took off Yang Shuwan's shoes and socks, raised her legs, and soaked them in the wooden basin.

The hot medicine bath made Yang Shuwan feel more at ease: "When the master came back yesterday, he said that he would handle official business in the study in the front yard, and if he didn't go back to the main courtyard, I thought he had something important to do. It's true that Aunt He's little bastard is messing around."

Nanny Li didn't say a word, she rubbed her legs to loosen her muscles and bones.

Yang Shuwan became angrier as she spoke, and she gritted her teeth: "Look at Aunt He's coquettish appearance, it can be seen that the master did a lot of hard work on her last night, and what about a down-and-out official lady, which official can teach such Something with no skin or face."

Speaking of this, she suddenly felt resentment.

She ate at the old lady's place yesterday, the master didn't say a few words to comfort her, but went to hang out with the concubine's room and poked her heart.

Nanny Li couldn't help but stop talking: "Ma'am, why bother with that unappealing thing, you are the wife of the main family, and you helped the master give birth to a son, no one in this house can surpass you."

Yang Shuwan doesn't know these truths, but she can't be reconciled in her heart: "But Aunt He, that cheap hoof, relying on the master to spoil her, is getting more and more rampant!"

Nanny Li stopped her mouth.

Yang Shuwan pulled the veil hard, and cursed: "It's all the fault of that bitch Xie Roujia, who is dying to give me a favor."
