Chapter 818 - 818: Vicious



Every time Yin Huaixi mentioned his father, he was always proud and smug. He said that he despised his father, but his eyes were filled with admiration.

Under his father’s influence, Yin Huaixi also grew into a person who stood tall.

He was willing to defend the border for the commoners.

He was willing to plan for the refugees.

Yin Huaixi asked her, “What’s wrong?”

Yu Youyao shook her head. “I just envy you for having a good father.”

Seeing that there seemed to be a hint of sadness in her eyes, Yin Huaixi suddenly said, “You don’t have to envy me. In the future… you have to change your words. What’s mine is also yours.”

Yu Youyao’s eyes widened in shock. Only then did she realize what he meant. Her face immediately turned red. She turned around with the cinnabar orchid in her hand. “I— I’ll go back to the tent first and settle the cinnabar orchid.”

With that, without waiting for Yin Huaixi to answer, she had already left in small steps. Her slender back was beautiful and thin, and she looked like she was fleeing.

Yin Huaixi was a little vexed. Although this was all going to happen sooner or later, it was too abrupt to say it out loud.

The old maids prepared a light and appetizing lunch.

Yin Huaixi accompanied Yu Youyao for lunch, and the two of them strolled in the canyon to digest their food.

Yu Youyao looked at the waterfall and spring not far away. The broken jade and flying flowers made it as beautiful as a paradise on earth.

She looked up at the sky. Finally, what she saw was no longer the deep residence of the inner courtyard that imprisoned her. Instead, it was a vast and boundless world.

Yu Youyao took a deep breath. “Now that I think about it, my days in the capital in the past were really like a lifetime ago.”

Yin Huaixi asked her, “Do you like your current life?”

Yu Youyao nodded and turned to look at Yin Huaixi. “I don’t think I’ve told you about what happened to me in the Yu Residence before you came.” At this point, she paused and thought for a moment before saying, “When I was five years old, I accompanied my Grandmother to the Precious Peace Temple to offer incense…”

Yin Huaixi had heard Yu Youyao mention this before. It was at that time that she had accidentally saved Song Mingzhao, who was being held hostage by someone else, but she had knocked her head, causing her head to bleed. Then, she fainted.

However, she did not mention anything else after that.

However, it was impossible for the residence to not react to such a big matter.

Yu Youyao said softly, “My Grandmother couldn’t find me anywhere. She scolded Madam Yang in exasperation and even reprimanded Yu Jianjia.” At this point, she didn’t continue. She changed the topic and said, “After returning to the residence, I had a high fever for the entire night. My Grandmother was worried about me and stayed by my side for the entire night. She only returned to the house to rest after my fever subsided.”

Yin Huaixi had roughly guessed it.

After being scolded by Old Madam Yu, Madam Yang would definitely bear a grudge. Due to filial piety, she did not dare to be disrespectful to Old Madam Yu. However, it was easy to control a bereaved eldest daughter.

Yu Youyao looked a little dazed and said calmly, “After I woke up, a maidservant came over to report that Master had come to visit me. I was very happy at that time.”

However, Yin Huaixi’s heart ached.

In those few years, Old Madam Yu was bedridden and had almost endlessly drank medicinal soup. Madam Yang was in charge of the family and had given birth to a legitimate son. She had a strong relationship with Yu Zongzheng and was at the peak of her success.

No matter how much Old Madam Yu doted on her granddaughter, she was still powerless.

She didn’t dare to treat her stepdaughter harshly openly and sow discord in front of Yu Zongzheng, lest Yu Zongzheng, who already did not like the eldest daughter of the first wife, felt that she was arrogant and domineering. Other than that, it was easy for her to teach Yu Youyao a lesson.

Even as her father, he felt that Eldest Miss was arrogant and mischievous. The servants in the residence acted according to the situation, so Yu Youyao’s infamy naturally spread throughout the residence.

Indeed!

Yu Youyao smiled mockingly. “Yu Zongzheng doesn’t care at all that I knocked my head and had a high fever for the entire night. Instead, he reprimanded me in exasperation.”

At the mention of this, the situation at that time appeared in her mind.

Knowing that her “father” was here, Little Youyao was very happy. She was wearing a single shirt, so she quickly asked the servants to help her to the outer room.

As soon as Yu Zongzheng saw her, he reprimanded her angrily, “Your grandmother pitied your mother for dying early, so she brought you in to raise you. I didn’t expect you to be so arrogant and bully your sickly sister, even pushing her to the ground, causing her to be shocked.”

Little Youyao’s forehead was wrapped in a white gauze that had blood seeping out. As she had lost too much blood, her face was pale as she looked at her “father” in shock.

Her mouth pouted, and her eyes were filled with tears. Her eyes sparkled, but she stubbornly held back her tears and straightened her neck. “I didn’t bully her, let alone push her. I stopped in my tracks. She didn’t fall. I fell myself…”

Seeing that she was unrepentant, Yu Zongzheng was furious. “You’re still quibbling. Didn’t you say that your Third Sister was putting on an act and looking sick all day? You said that you didn’t know who she’s putting on a show for. You’re as bad as your mother. I hate you. Did you say that too?”

Little Yao’er couldn’t defend herself. She opened her mouth, wanting to speak.

It was clearly Yu Jianjia’s maidservant who had disrespected her superior and criticized Little Yao’er sarcastically. That was why she couldn’t help but retort a little, and that was why she had an argument with Yu Jianjia.

However, immediately after, Yu Zongzheng said angrily, “You relied on Grandmother’s love to bully your legitimate sister and disrespect your stepmother. Do you still care about me as your father?”

Little Yao’er was in a daze. Yu Zongzheng’s eyes were filled with anger towards her, and he ignored the injury on her head.

Yu Zongzheng slammed his palm on the table. “Look at you. What have you become? Your Grandmother dotes on you, but you’re actually so insensible. You clearly know that your Grandmother is seriously ill and forced herself to stay awake when you went to the Precious Peace Temple, but you still ran around everywhere, making your Grandmother worried and even worsening her condition.”

Little Youyao was helpless to refute this matter. She slowly lowered her head, and tears the size of beans fell onto the tips of her shoes like pearls on a broken string.

Silently!

In Yu Zongzheng’s eyes, her lowered head had suddenly become a sign of her guilty conscience. For a moment, he was even angrier. “It’s obvious that you’re the one who’s insensible and ran around. That’s why you injured your head, but you’re pushing the blame to your stepmother and clueless sister. It’s so tiring for your stepmother and sister to be scolded by their elders. You’re already so vicious at such a young age…”

His roar was like a chisel, piercing into Little Yao’er’s ears word by word.

Little Youyao had hurt her head, and it hurt so much that she felt dizzy. More and more blood seeped out of the gauze. She lowered her head, and sweat appeared on her forehead and the tip of her nose. Her small body was also trembling.

However, Yu Zongzheng did not see it. Perhaps he did see it and did not care. Or perhaps, in Yu Zongzheng’s eyes, Little Youyao’s painful expression became evidence of her guilt and fear.

Little Youyao also lasted until Yu Zongzheng finished scolding her and left before fainting.

Little Youyao woke up not long after.

After all, she was still young. After being scolded by her father, she felt terrible and a little indignant.
