Chapter 221 - 221 Big Sister, Please Spare Me
221 Big Sister, Please Spare Me
Before Yu Youyao could react, Yu Qingning had already rushed in front of her and was crying in fear and helplessness. “Big Sister, I beg you to spare me…”
Everyone was stunned and looked at Yu Qingning.
Yu Jianjia’s eyes widened in shock. For a moment, she was stunned and could not react.
Yu Qingning was wearing a set of nine-layered clothes that she needed to wear to learn the rules. Her hair was loose and messy, and there were many hair rings on her head. Her face was as pale as paper. Not only were her eyes dark, but her mouth was also dry, as if she had suffered a huge grievance.
Was this the Fourth Miss of the Yu Residence?
Even if she was just a concubine’s daughter, she shouldn’t be like this!
Before Yu Youyao could open her mouth, Tang Yunmeng was shocked. She covered her mouth with her handkerchief and widened her eyes. She exclaimed in disbelief, “Oh my G.o.d, what happened to Fourth Miss Yu?”
Yu Qingning was crying so hard that her face was covered in tears and her eyes were swollen. “Big Sister, please spare me. The nannies in the Education Department are used to using some torture methods. They teach people the rules openly, but they’re secretly torturing them. Big Sister, I really can’t take it anymore. I’ll get up and walk in the morning. Look, look, my feet are swollen from walking. There are blisters all over the soles of my feet.” She simply sat on the ground and pulled out her shoes and socks, revealing her feet. The old blisters on her fair feet had not healed completely, and new blisters had grown again. It hurt…
Anyone who saw this would feel that she was very pitiful.
Yu Jianjia tightened her grip on her handkerchief on the spot. She pursed her lips tightly and looked reluctant.
Song Wanhui and Qi Sinian also looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. They looked at Yu Youyao.
Eldest Miss Yu stood there indifferently. Her lips curled up slightly, revealing a terrifying light. Her eyes were shockingly bright, and her eyes reflected her fourth sister’s sorry state. She did not say anything or pull her sister away. She just let Yu Qingning talk and make a fuss.
Yu Qingning cried miserably, her face covered in snot and tears. “Big Sister, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to contradict you last time. Now, I’ve also been taught a lesson. Big Sister, I won’t dare to do it again. Let Nanny Jin leave the residence…”
At this moment, everyone finally understood the inside story.
For some reason, Fourth Miss Yu had contradicted Eldest Miss Yu, so Eldest Miss Yu had asked the nannies in the Education Department to stay in the residence and teach Yu Qingning more about the rules. However, which of the nannies in the Education Department was easy to get along with? All the sisters from wealthy families knew that although these nannies taught the rules well, they were really good at torturing people.
Fourth Miss Yu could not stand the torture, so she took the opportunity to sneak out of the residence to apologize to Eldest Miss Yu and ask her to spare her.
She looked really pitiful.
One was celebrating her birthday in the residence and holding a small banquet. She was so glorious.
However, the other was locked in the courtyard to learn the rules. She was tortured by the nanny in the Education Department and was not even allowed to leave.
Why was there such a big difference between people?
Yu Jianjia opened her mouth but still tried to comfort her. “Fourth Sister, what are you doing? Get up and talk. It’s Eldest Sister’s birthday today. You can’t make such a fuss…”
Yu Jianjia had always been kind and polite. She said this out of goodwill, but Yu Qingning ignored her and cried miserably. “Big Sister, please spare me…”
It was a good banquet, but Yu Qingning had caused such a commotion. It was extremely awkward.
Yu Shuangbai was so angry that she stomped her feet. She kept looking at Yu Youyao. When she saw that Yu Youyao was standing at the side and letting Yu Qingning cause trouble as if nothing had happened, she also looked disappointed.
Yu Lianyu and Yu Fangfei also tightened their grip on their handkerchiefs worriedly. They opened their mouths to speak, but they didn’t know what to say.
Chun Xiao and the other maidservants were even more anxious.
As Yu Qingning cried, she secretly watched Yu Youyao’s reaction, looking forward to seeing her embarra.s.sed, panicked, and at a loss. However, she was destined to be disappointed.
Yu Youyao stood there and looked at her calmly. She was wearing yellow and green clothes, and she looked imposing. Just one look at her made her feel very intimidated, and she almost couldn’t breathe.
Yu Qingning suddenly thought of Cousin Zhou from the Green House.
Previously, she had b.u.mped into Cousin Zhou in the residence. Thinking that Cousin Zhou was close to Yu Youyao and was a cripple who had come to their residence, he probably had to give her some face.
At that time, Cousin Zhou did not say anything and just looked at her calmly. For no reason, she felt fl.u.s.tered and hurriedly looked away, not daring to look at him anymore.
Everyone in the Jade Courtyard watched Yu Qingning make a fuss. Yu Youyao did not speak, and no one dared to.
Under the gazes of these people, no matter how strong-willed one was, they still couldn’t take it. After some time, Yu Qingning couldn’t cry anymore.
She couldn’t help but look around.
Seeing the pairs of eyes staring at her, Yu Qingning was dumbfounded. She kept feeling that these people were looking at her with mockery. No matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn’t take it anymore.
All of this was completely different from what she had imagined.
Today was Yu Youyao’s birthday banquet, so how could she allow others to cause a commotion? Seeing her come over, wouldn’t Yu Youyao immediately stop her?
This way, it would seem that Yu Youyao was guilty. Others would really think that Yu Youyao was using her status as the daughter of the first wife to bully her younger sister from the Ling family. Yu Youyao would be completely embarra.s.sed. If word got out, it would also confirm Yu Youyao’s reputation as a spoiled and domineering woman. In the future, Yu Youyao would no longer have the face to go outside and no family would be willing to interact with her!
But what was going on with Yu Youyao?
She was just going to let her cry?
Wasn’t she worried that she would make a fuss and embarra.s.s herself?
However, this had already happened. Even if she couldn’t continue, she had to grit her teeth and force herself to play her part. Hence, Yu Qingning crawled on the ground and cried even louder.
Only then did Yu Youyao sigh faintly. She took a step forward and bent down to help Yu Qingning up.
Yu Qingning didn’t want to get up either. Seeing that Yu Youyao was helping her, she felt even more confident. She didn’t want to get up either. She wanted to continue making a fuss and make Yu Youyao look bad on the spot. However, Yu Youyao had the strength to hold her arm and help her up.
Yu Youyao’s expression was calm, and she did not show any emotions. She pinched her handkerchief and gently wiped her face. “You’re a girl. It’s not good to look so disheveled.” With that, she turned to Chun Xiao and instructed, “Bring Fourth Miss to my room to freshen up and change her clothes. It’s my birthday today. Since Fourth Sister is here, let’s have fun!”
With that, she let go of Yu Qingning’s hand.
Chun Xiao stepped forward and supported Yu Qingning. “Fourth Miss, let’s go!”
Yu Qingning’s eyes widened in shock. For a moment, she was stunned. She had not expected that Yu Youyao would be finished just like that.
Yu Qingning asked Chun Xiao to help her walk.
Only then did Yu Qingning remember that she was still acting. She struggled to turn around and cried miserably, “Big Sister…”
