109 None of You Are Good

Eldest Miss was just a young person. Why was she so scheming?

Her methods were much more impressive than Eldest Madam Yang’s.

Chun Xiao took off the jade bracelet on her wrist that was of good quality and stuffed it into Mother Yang’s hands without any explanation. “Mother Yang, you have to teach me how to do things properly. Otherwise, I really won’t be able to answer Young Miss.”

Mother Yang didn’t dare to accept it and quickly declined. “Miss Chun Xiao, this can’t be done. Hurry up and take it back, take it back…”

Chun Xiao refused to take it back either. The two of them pulled each other for a long time. It was unknown who accidentally dropped the jade bracelet, but it fell to the ground with a loud crash and shattered into pieces.

“This…” Mother. Yang was stunned, not knowing what to do.

Chun Xiao was also stunned for a moment. When she regained her senses, she squatted down and picked up the jade bracelet pirces one by one, placing them on her handkerchief. Seeing this, Mother Yang couldn’t stand still anymore and also picked them up.

After picking them up, Chun Xiao looked at the broken jade on the handkerchief and said in a sad voice, “This jade bracelet was given to me by Miss earlier. I didn’t expect…”

Upon hearing Chun Xiao mention Eldest Miss, Mother Yang’s body trembled, and her expression was even uglier than when she was crying. “I’ve let Miss Chun Xiao down just now.”

Chun Xiao wrapped the jade bracelet and forced a smile. “Mother Yang, don’t say that. It’s fine if it’s broken, but it wasn’t on purpose.”

After all this, Mother Yang looked like she was about to cry. She couldn’t refuse even if she wanted to.

Although Chun Xiao had stopped Mother Yang from looking for Yang Shuwan, Yang Shuwan had a strong desire for control. Although she had handed over the key, how could she be willing to let go completely?

She asked Nanny Li to keep an eye on the situation in the residence.

When Old Madam had asked Nanny Liu to gather the servants, Yang Shuwan had found out that Old Madam had asked Nanny Liu to help Yu Youyao manage the household.

At that moment, she smashed the cup and bowl in her hand in exasperation and said hatefully, “I didn’t expect that after handing over the butler’s key, I would actually let that b*tch, Yu Youyao, benefit from it for no reason. Even if that old woman doesn’t want me to benefit, she can still find an opportunity to pave the way for her precious granddaughter.”

When Nanny Li heard this, her face turned pale with fright. She hurriedly rushed to the window and looked out, then closed the slit tightly.

Fortunately, she also knew First Madam’s personality. When she returned, she dismissed the servants. However, she was still a little worried and took a few more careful glances.

After confirming that there was no one else around, Nanny Li returned to Yang Shuwan’s side. “First Madam, you have to keep your voice down. Although the main courtyard is filled with your people, it’s still hard to tell if they’re hiding anything.”

After Yang Shuwan’s anger subsided, she calmed down, but she was still furious. “There’s only one or two of them, and none of them are good people. They’re all trying to make things difficult for me!” The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn’t help but flare up again. “Did you find out what the butler in the residence said?”

“I did.” Nanny Li quickly told her everything she had heard previously. Then, she said, “Eldest Miss singled out Mother Yang. She said that the vegetables in the residence were expensive and that prices had gone up. She didn’t let Mother Yang brush it off with a few words. She also said that she wanted to meet the people in the manor to understand the situation of the crops.”

Yang Shuwan’s heart skipped a beat, and she felt a little uneasy. “Yu Youyao is so young, how could she have thought of all this? She must have received guidance from Old Madam and wanted to use my people to establish her authority in the residence.”

Nanny Li nodded. “That’s what I mean.”

The Old Madam’s intervention made things a little tricky for Yang Shuwan, so she felt a headache coming on. “About Mother Yang…”

Nanny Li hurriedly said, “She must be fine. Otherwise, how could Mother Yang sit still? She would have immediately come to look for you and let you make the decision. Don’t you know Mother Yang well? She’s so sly that even Nanny Liu can’t control her. How could she let Eldest Miss take the wrong side?!”

When Yang Shuwan heard this, she felt relieved. However, for the sake of caution, she instructed, “Find an opportunity in the afternoon to call Mother Yang over. I’ll ask her in detail again and ask her to come over quietly. Don’t let anyone know.”

She was still sick, but she could no longer worry about the matters in the residence. Furthermore, she had handed over the right to manage the household, so how could she speak to the manager openly? If others found out, they would think that she was pretending to be sick.

Nanny Li nodded. “I understand.”

At this moment, Madam wanted to see Mother Yang immediately and ask for an explanation. However, Old Madam had just spoken to the stewards, so it wasn’t appropriate for her to call Mother Yang over immediately. This was too eye-catching.

Yang Shuwan thought of the steward in charge of the manor and felt a little worried. “I remember that it was Little Zhou who sent vegetables and fruits to the residence every day. Has the steward at the manor been settled?”

Nanny Li hurriedly said, “Everything has been arranged. Steward Zhou is a smart person, and he’s also an old servant of the residence. Madam, don’t worry.”

Yang Shuwan felt a little relieved. Then, she heard Nanny Li continue, “The area around Little Zhouzhuang is filled with people with the surname Zhou, and they’re all from the same family. The fields on the farm are all rented out to the nearby farmers. Steward Zhou is from Zhou Villa and is very respected there. All the farmers nearby listen to him.”

“Even if Eldest Miss wants to use Manager Zhou as a tool, I’m afraid she won’t be able to do it. After all, this will affect him greatly. If Manager Zhou doesn’t recover, the farmers in the Zhouzhuang won’t be happy. If something happens… I’m afraid even Old Madam won’t be able to handle it.”

When Yang Shuwan heard this, her brows relaxed and she sneered. “Heh, Old Madam did have a plan, but she didn’t think about it. How can this family be easy to manage? There are too many people in the residence, and it’s something that a young girl like Yu Youyao, who hasn’t even grown a strand of hair, can handle. She will cause a mess in this family.”

Nanny Li leaned over and lowered her voice. “Isn’t that good? It’ll also help Master see her bad side clearly, so that she can focus on you and Third Miss in the future.”

Yang Shuwan sneered. “Doesn’t Yu Youyao want to manage the family? I’ll let her manage it. If anything is damaged, it’ll show how good my management is.”

Old Madam Yu had asked Yu Youyao to manage the house. Although she was angry, she did not panic at all. She did not believe that a young lady who had not even learned how to manage the house carefully would manage it well.

Besides, she had been in charge of the household for many years. Everyone in the residence was under her command. How could Yu Youyao order them around?

She was just waiting for Yu Youyao to embarra.s.s herself.

In the afternoon, around two o’clock, the people from the manor finally entered the residence.

Little Zhouzhuang was located beside a mountain and a river. The soil was good too. There were some fruits and plants planted on the mountain, and the fields were filled with some expensive crops. The Yu Residence usually ate crops from Little Zhouzhuang.
