Chapter 593: Chapter 544, Warning_1
Madam Li was fuming with rage upon learning of the incident at the main gate. She sympathized with her sister-in-law’s difficulties within the Yang Family, and considered herself generous towards them and her three children, never expecting them to scheme against her own offspring.
It had started with Yang Hongrui clinging to her daughter, and now, before Miss Su’s very eyes, Xiujun had shamelessly compromised herself. The girl wanted to ruin the advantageous marriage arrangement between Wenkai and Miss Su—an act truly deserving of condemnation!
Madam Li summoned the Yan Family’s maid: “Have someone guard the courtyard. Before we leave the Li Residence, Xiujun is not allowed to step out of the courtyard.”
Having given this instruction, Madam Li managed to compose herself, and re-emerged before the others with a smile.
Today was the joyous wedding day of Zi Xuan, and she, as the aunt, could not let the Li Family lose face.
After the bride was taken away, Su Shiyu sat for a while, then stood up and said she wished to leave.
Daohua didn’t insist on her staying. Although Yang Xiujun hadn’t managed to falsely accuse her fourth brother, the sight might still have disgusted Miss Su like swallowing a fly.
Daohua escorted Su Shiyu to Chuihua Gate and handed her over to Su Hongxin. After watching them leave, she turned and went back to the guest courtyard where she was staying.
Upon returning to the courtyard, Daohua saw the maid guarding the entrance, aware it was Madam Li’s doing. She said nothing and went straight to Yang Xiujun’s room.
Yang Xiujun, feeling disgraced and worried about incurring Madam Li’s displeasure, cried from fear and frustration. At that moment, her eyes red and swollen, her body shook with sobs as Daohua entered the room.
When Xiujun’s maid spotted Daohua, she quickly said, “Sister Yiyi, please reason with our miss. She’s been crying for hours; what if she ruins her eyes?”
Daohua glanced at the maid, then at Yang Xiujun who was dabbing her tears while sneaking glances at her. Without a word, she sat down in a chair and spoke indifferently, “If her eyes are spoiled, she has only herself to blame.”
At these words, Yang Xiujun stared at Daohua in shock, unable to believe she would say such a thing.
Indeed, since Xiujun had come to the Yan Family on account of Madam Yan’s favor, Daohua had taken good care of her, even when she inappropriately went to Daohua to plead for Yang Hongrui, Daohua had simply served tea and sent her away, never embarrassing her.
Ignoring Xiujun’s astonishment, Daohua continued, “The Yang Family is, after all, an aristocratic family, where children should be taught etiquette and decorum from an early age. But today, cousin, your behavior has truly been an eye-opener.”
These words were unsparing, leaving Yang Xiujun staring at Daohua, taking a while to come back to her senses.
Regaining her composure, tears soon brimmed in Xiujun’s eyes as she said with a sobbing voice, “Sister Yiyi, please believe me, I didn’t do it on purpose, someone pushed me…”
Daohua raised her hand to interrupt, “Cousin Xiujun, no one is a fool, don’t treat the Yan Family with the same tricks you use in the Yang Family’s inner chambers.”
Hearing this, Yang Xiujun looked extremely embarrassed, bit her lip and stopped acting pitiful, looking self-mockingly at Daohua: “Sister Yiyi, you’ve always looked down on me, haven’t you?”
“To please our grandmother, you seem nice to me on the surface, but I can feel your aloofness and politeness, you have never truly cared for me.”
Daohua couldn’t help but laugh scornfully, “Cousin Xiujun, sometimes I really don’t understand what’s going on in your head. In your eyes, is sincerity so cheap?”
“Before our aunt’s homecoming, we had never met, merely knowing each other’s names as strangers. You’ve been here for a month or two, and you expect me to be sincere?”
“Furthermore, before expecting sincerity from others, shouldn’t you be sincere yourself first? It’s you who speaks ambiguously, it’s you who shakes her head in ignorance upon questioning, have you ever been sincere to anyone? Don’t always think about getting something for nothing.” ƒrēewebnovel.com
“Most people in this world chase a lifetime and may not find even one or two confidants. Cousin Xiujun, you are impressive, wanting sincere treatment right from the start. Do you think you are silver?”
Yang Xiujun was left speechless by Daohua’s words, and after a long silence, she looked up and asked, “Sister Yiyi, please just tell me plainly your reason for coming here.”
Daohua had no intention to beat around the bush and directly said, “The Yan Family will not form a marriage alliance with the Yang Family. Please cousin, restrain yourself and avoid misunderstandings, lest it embarrass us all. The affection among relatives has its limits and can’t withstand excessive strain.”
Xiujun’s body swayed, and with a mocking laugh, she retorted, “I wasn’t aware the Yan Family is now under Sister Yiyi’s control. A maiden who meddles in her brother’s marital affairs, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at for saying such things?”
