Yu Youyao was furious. Her lips curved. “It’s also my fault for not knowing etiquette. I don’t have any status, but I was shameless and refused to leave. As a result, others looked down on me for no reason.”
On the surface, Princess Liyang pretended to be on good terms with her, but in her eyes, she was still the same as when Yu Youyao first entered the palace and met Princess Liyang. Princess Liyang smiled generously, but her eyes were filled with a high and mighty scrutiny.
If she hadn’t underestimated Yu Youyao, how could she have strutted around?!
Princess Liyang would not dare to be so blatant in the Yu Garden.
When Xia Tao heard this, she stomped her feet in anger. “Young Miss, why are you saying this about yourself? Back then, it was Butler Wen who took His Highness’s personal letter and personally went to the Yu Garden. He invited you to the Yue Fei’s Residence to preside over it. In the past year, the large and small battles at the front line have never stopped. It was you who presided over the Yue Fei’s Residence and mobilized the military supplies. It was also because you were presiding over the Yue Fei King’s Residence and complemented the state government office that the transportation of supplies was guaranteed. There were no mistakes. It was also because the war ahead had yet to stop that you were worried and did not leave. How did it turn into a situation where you acted shamelessly…”
She knew that Princess Liyang was staying in the Yue Fei’s Residence and refused to leave. She definitely had ill intentions.
Yu Youyao knew that she had misspoken just now, but she felt suffocated. She held back her anger and couldn’t let it out, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
She took a deep breath and calmed down. “What are you talking about? Hurry up and prepare the carriage.”
Xia Tao cursed Princess Liyang in her heart. She stomped her foot and quickly went to prepare the carriage.
Chun Xiao saw that the corners of the Young Miss’s eyes were slightly red. She didn’t know if the Young Miss was angry or aggrieved, but her heart ached and she felt terrible. “Do you want me to inform Butler Wen?”
Yu Youyao suppressed the complicated thoughts in her heart and shook her head. “No, let’s go back and pack.”
Princess Liyang was involved in the entanglement between Yin Huaixi and Empress Ning. It was fine if Yu Youyao didn’t know about it in the past, but now that she did, she didn’t want to get involved.
Yin Huaixi had yet to return, so all of this was only Princess Liyang’s one-sided story. No matter what, she had to listen to what Yin Huaixi said and did.
There was no need for her to degrade herself, causing her to panic at this moment and get involved with Princess Liyang, lest she fell into a disadvantage and lost her upbringing.
In the future, no matter what decision Yin Huaixi made, she would support him.
However, it was not up to anyone to interfere in her own decision.
She understood what was going on.
However, sour emotions kept surging in her heart. It was her courtyard, but the short journey seemed to have no end.
In her mind, she couldn’t help but think of everything that had happened with Yin Huaixi in the past. Those beautiful, warm, and affectionate scenes had all become knives at this moment, burning her insides.
Yu Youyao couldn’t help but let her imagination run wild. She couldn’t suppress the grievance in her heart either. She endured her tears and rushed into the courtyard. Before she could return to the house, tears rushed out of her eyes.
She suddenly squatted on the ground and buried her face in her knees. She cried aggrievedly and sobbed softly, like an injured little beast, filled with confusion and helplessness.
It had been a long time since she had suffered such grievances. She watched helplessly as Princess Liyang strutted around in front of her.
She seemed to have said a lot, but she actually did not say anything.
She seemed to have said nothing, but in fact, she had said everything.
However, every word was heart-wrenching.
The trick of hiding something only for it to become more conspicuous was specially used to deal with three people. She had only mentioned 30% of the matter, but Yu Youyao already understood it.
Chun Xiao immediately panicked and quickly looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, she felt a little relieved. However, when she saw her Young Miss squatting on the ground and crying, she did not know what to do.
Yu Youyao had never been a magnanimous person since she was young, and she was even more calculative when it came to Yin Huaixi. When she was young, she even made a fuss at Yin Huaixi just because Yin Huaixi did not tell her in advance what birthday gift he had prepared for her.
She was so angry that she cried just because Yin Huaixi had deliberately teased her, making her think that Yin Huaixi had forgotten her birthday and did not prepare a birthday gift for her.
Not long after, Wen Youyou found out that Princess Shaoyi had prepared a carriage to return to the residence. He immediately felt a headache coming on.
He quickly sent someone to find out what had happened. Why was she leaving before the battle was over?
As the butler of the residence, the entire residence was under his control. Nothing could escape his notice. Not long after, Butler Wen found out that Princess Liyang had spoken to the Eldest Princess. He did not know what the two of them had said, but as soon as the Eldest Princess stepped out of the reception pavilion, she instructed someone to prepare a carriage and return to the residence.
However, this angered the butler so much that his face turned green. “She’s only lived in the residence for a few days, but she doesn’t treat herself as an outsider. How can she be so shameless? She’s only a legitimate princess, but she’s not as legitimate as the Eldest Princess at all. How can she still have the cheek to put on airs in front of the Eldest Princess? She’s not beautiful, but she’s dreaming. I only gave her some dignity on account that she knows her place and doesn’t cause trouble. When will it be her turn to interfere in the residence? She’s really shameless.”
Princess Liyang had come to Xiangping to avoid the limelight as the legitimate princess. It was in the way of the clan’s etiquette and Empress Ning’s dignity. Indeed, they could not just throw Princess Liyang away and ignore her.
They had already given her enough dignity by barely bringing her into the Yue Fei’s Residence.
Previously, he had thought that she was obedient and didn’t play tricks. If she was in a king’s residence, she would definitely be able to observe etiquette. Who knew that she was just pretending?
Butler Wen was really furious. “Someone, pick a nanny who knows the rules and send her to Princess Liyang. Since she’s staying in the Yue Fei King’s Residence for the time being, she has to abide by the rules of the Yue Fei King’s Residence. She can’t play with her prestige in the palace in the past. In addition, clean up a courtyard in the city and send Princess Liyang over in a few days. If anyone wants to leave, Princess Liyang will be the one leaving.”
It was obvious that he wanted to teach her the rules before letting her leave.
It wasn’t very harmful, but it was extremely insulting.
When the news reached Yu Youyao’s ears, her things had already been packed. She could send someone over another day to pack up some things that were not important.
Butler Wen rushed over to persuade her, saying a lot.
However, he still did not dispel Yu Youyao’s intention to return to the Yu Garden. “Butler Wen, you don’t have to persuade me anymore. It’s already against the rules to move into the Yue Fei’s Residence early on, but things are urgent, so it’s reasonable to prioritize the overall situation. However, the war in the North has just ended, so it’s a little inappropriate for me to continue living in the residence.”
Butler Wen opened his mouth, and his heart turned cold. The Eldest Princess probably had a feud with His Highness because of Princess Liyang.
In ancient times, there were three books and six etiquettes for official marriage.
The three books included a betrothal letter, a gift letter, and a welcoming letter.
The six etiquettes were the proposal, the matching of birthdates, presenting the betrothal gifts, sending wedding gifts, arranging the wedding, and holding the wedding ceremony.
