All Hail Cousin Brother Chapter 265 – 265 If You Hit a Dog, You Have to Face Its Owner

265 If You Hit a Dog, You Have to Face Its Owner

Eldest Miss Yu had been raised by Old Madam Yu since she was young. She said that Eldest Miss Yu was not well-mannered, so wasn’t she saying that Old Madam Yu wasn’t well-mannered?

Wouldn’t she be doubting the previous emperor?

Eldest Miss Yu did not say anything explicitly, but which Madam present did not know what she meant?

Yu Jianjia’s faint smile froze on her face.

The Marquis of Changxing’s wife was also stunned!

Yu Youyao said hoarsely, “Seventh Miss Cao has insulted me as the eldest daughter, who has lost her mother. I can’t deny it. It’s just that my grandmother raised me. I don’t want others to misunderstand my grandmother, lest others think that my grandmother didn’t raise me well and I tarnished her reputation. I had to get involved with Seventh Miss Cao.”

She was just short of saying that by saying she wasn’t well-mannered, she meant that Old Madam Yu wasn’t well-mannered.

However, Old Madam Yu had been praised by the previous emperor. This made it seem like Seventh Miss Cao was questioning the previous emperor and the current emperor!

Everyone present was silent.

Yu Jianjia was also trembling in fear. She couldn’t even care less about the excruciating pain under her feet. She took a step back and went behind Yang Shuwan. She wanted to find a hole to hide from others.

She had never expected that this matter would involve her elders, the Empress Dowager, the late Emperor, and today.

She thought about how she was the one who had led Seventh Miss Cao to Yu Youyao, afraid that someone would implicate her.

The Marquis of Changxing’s wife’s expression also changed. “Eldest Miss Yu has suffered…”

As soon as she started speaking, Cao Yingxue couldn’t sit still anymore. She pointed at Yu Youyao’s nose and said angrily, “You’re slandering me. When did I implicate your grandmother? Don’t even think about using the previous emperor to slander me. I won’t admit it.” In the end, she still looked righteous and said angrily, “Who gave you the guts to use the previous emperor…”

Yu Shuangbai was furious. “It’s a fact that my eldest sister has been raised by my grandmother since she was young. By using my eldest sister’s upbringing to criticize her, aren’t you questioning my grandmother’s upbringing? You’re still quibbling. We all have ears, and we’re not deaf. It’s still considered light to splash tea on your face.”

Cao Yingxue immediately felt dizzy. She knew that something bad had happened. “You sisters came together to slander me. I don’t accept these words. You…”

“Shut up!” The Marquis of Changxing’s wife raised her voice and stopped Cao Yingxue. Her words had already implicated the previous emperor. How could a young lady like her still have the right to speak today?

Cao Yingxue was shocked and hid behind her mother, keeping quiet for a moment.

The Marquis of Changxing’s wife’s face darkened. She turned to look at Yu Youyao. “Eldest Miss Yu, when the sisters play together, it’s inevitable that they’ll bump into each other and have some arguments. She said something rash but didn’t mean it. How can anyone implicate someone who was prasised by the Emperor? Children really dare to say anything.”

She stared at Yu Youyao with a sharp gaze, and even her tone exuded a suffocating pressure.

Then, she changed the topic and her voice softened a little. “But in this matter, it’s indeed true that Yingxue misspoken first, but she doesn’t have the intention to insult your grandmother. Yingxue’s sister has been in the palace since she was young. As her mother, I don’t see her many times a year, so I have to dote on her more. Yingxue has been spoiled by me since she was young. I’ll get Yingxue to apologize to you later…”

Everyone was just saying that Yu Youyao was insensible. With just a few words, she changed the topic to the previous emperor and even mentioned Concubine Zhuang in the palace.

She was also warning Yu Youyao not to go too far.

Yu Youyao could only use the previous and current emperor to put forth her case. Compared to a favored concubine that was close to the Marquis of Changxing’s Residence, anyone knew who was more important.

Yu Jianjia finally heaved a sigh of relief and felt her entire body turn cold.

Only then did she realize that when Yu Youyao had mentioned the previous and current emperor, she had unknowingly broken out in a cold sweat. Now that she had recovered, she felt that her body was soft and she couldn’t exert any strength. Even her chest felt suffocated.

However, the older the wiser!

It was impossible for Yu Youyao to control the Marquis of Changxing’s wife with just a few words. The Marquis of Changxing’s wife was the most noble wife in the capital. What had she not seen?

Yu Youyao’s words just now could only scare some inexperienced madams and young misses.

It was really ridiculous!

Yu Youyao would do anything for her reputation.

However, at this point, she should be at her wits’ end!

With this in mind, Yu Jianjia looked at Yu Youyao.

Seeing Yu Youyao purse her lips slightly, her pomegranate-red lips looked very fresh and beautiful. “I just want to ask Madam something. Nanny Xu has contributed greatly to serving the Empress Dowager. She has been graced by the Empress Dowager and is a meritorious official. How can Seventh Miss Cao slander a servant like this?”

There was a series of gasps.

At that moment, a few of them lost their balance and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the maidservants in front of them supported them to prevent them from losing their composure.

Seventh Miss Cao really spoke without thinking. Eldest Miss Yu was really amazing.

She had just accused Seventh Miss Cao of doubting the previous and current emperor, so that the Marquis of Changxing’s wife did not dare to mention her upbringing anymore. She had no choice but to mention Concubine Zhuang to deal with it, hoping to shut Yu Youyao up.

At this moment, she had slapped Cao Yingxue’s face again.

However, everything she said made sense.

Nanny Xu was not a slave, but a meritorious servant. She could not be insulted. If this was not disrespectful to the Empress Dowager, what was?

Even if she was a slave, you have to face the owner of a dog if you hit it.

How could this person who had served the Empress Dowager be an ordinary servant?

Moreover, Nanny Xu had only left the palace for two to three months, and she still had some relationship with the Empress Dowager. If news of this reached the palace, the Empress Dowager would definitely ask about it.

The Marquis of Changxing’s wife’s heart skipped a beat. Her gaze suddenly turned sharp as she stared at Yu Youyao. “Eldest Miss Yu, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t spout nonsense…”

When it came to the former and current emperor, it was just words. The former emperor had passed away, and the current emperor was obsessed with alchemy today. She was not afraid of Imperial Consort Lu who had his special favor.

However, the Empress Dowager was different!

No matter how much Imperial Consort Lu and Concubine Zhuang were doted on, they were still daughters-in-law. Just the word “filial piety” was enough to make one shiver.

It was obvious that Yu Youyao was young and scheming.

A smile appeared on Yu Youyao’s lips as she smiled faintly. “Which young lady in the family doesn’t have a nanny by her side to teach and guide her? I wonder why Seventh Miss Cao insists on talking about Nanny Xu, who’s in front of me. As the daughter of an official, how can she not know that Nanny Xu is a meritorious servant?”
