The ability of Yu Miao Qi to deceive and confuse othersâ minds could evidently be seen with her bribing so many servants to set up such a venomous scheme and even had Jiang Xueâs willingness to die for her when she had only been in charge of the household for less than a month. Fearing that both her grandmother and elder brother would also be hoodwinked, Yu Si Yu circled beneath the tree and stood on tiptoes from time to time as she craned her neck to look.
âWant to eavesdrop? Then go ahead.â Yu Xiang spoke casually as she scattered a handful of fish food into the pond.
âBut Feng Momo and Ma Momo are guarding the door, I dare not.â Yu Si Ya was extremely fearful of both Momos.
âGo, they wonât stop you.â Yu Xiang waved her sleeve.
It was truly a rare sight in a hundred years that they did not argue or fight against each other secretly while staying together in the same place. It was not until this moment that Yu Si Yu truly understood how candid Yu Xiangâs nature is. If you are courteous to her, she will somewhat be polite to you too; if you are nice to her, she will also be good to you and if you treat her genuinely, she will simply reciprocate wholeheartedly.
Itâs undoubtedly the most comfortable and safest to get along with such a person as you do not have to be afraid which wrong verse has offended her then get stabbed in the back. Without doubt, it is rather intolerable if she retaliates face on, but once itâs over, it is over as she will never hold any grudges.
Shaking her head, Yu Si Yu sighed when she recalled all the past dealings and asked anxiously after a short while, âWhatâs the use even if itâs proven that I did not exchange the tokens of love with Fang Zhi Chen? My innocence is ruined by his hands and Iâm afraid I will still have to marry him. I absolutely never expected him to be this sort of person.â
âWith that blockhead of yours, there are still many unexpected things.â Yu Xiang snickered.
Choked with a red face, Yu Si Yu merely snorted coldly without retort. In the past, she would not conceded when Yu Xiang condemned her brainlessness but now that she had understood and thought it through, she herself felt stupid, or else why would she wailed and cried out wanting to marry into that filthy Fang family, even going so far as to destroy her own reputation without hesitant.
Looking at her sullen expression, Yu Xiang comforted, âDonât worry, Elder Brother will never let you marry a scumbag like Fang Zhi Chen. With our Elder Brotherâs special position as a pawn used by the Emperor to contend against the various prominent families, itâs predestined that daughters of the Marquis manor cannot marry into any prominent families. Even if my legs arenât impaired, at most I can only marry a poor official without foundation which earnestly not be any better than you. Grandmother has already done her best to arrange the most secure route for you, not that she doesnât love you. Itâs better to marry low than to climb high as you have Marquis Yongle manor and the All Commander Yu behind you, wonât everything go your way when you marry into your husbandâs family? Yet you like to disparage yourself while persistently worming your way into the wealthy and influential families, preferring to bend over servilely and be otherâs concubines instead of living your lives happily.â
This time, Yu Si Yu listened with utter seriousness and sighed deeply after a long silence, âSo, thatâs how it is. Itâs nevertheless my misconstrued of Grandmother and Elder Brother. What you said is right, marrying low is indeed much better than climbing high and living to my heartâs content.â
âThis kind of marrying low thing does not necessarily lead to a comfortable life, you have to open your eyes, pick a good man who has the ability to take charge and has a sense of responsibility. If you choose accurately, you will have a pivot in this lifetime. Like the last time you pick that Li familyâs son, a total worthless who is even so pretentious, âscoffââŚâ Yu Xiang sneered disdainfully.
Yu Si Yu used to think that Yu Xiangâs mouth was malicious, her every word contained needles and every verse was barbed. But after she had made peace with her state of psyche, she realized every word of hers (YX) was epitome without nonsense hence she couldnât help but laughed, âWhat Younger Sister said is true, I should have listened to you. Otherwise I wouldnât have picked and chose then settled again on another heartless bastard.â As she had been getting along with Yu Xiang for a long time, she didnât notice herself but others could clearly see that her previous artificial hypocrisy temperament like Yu Miao Qi had slowly developed into shrewishness over the years.
She is not the material to trifle in the boudoir fights but she has become an expert in unreasonable lambasting. If she married into a wealthy family with this temperament, there is a possibility of her suffering an implicit death, but she will never be bullied if she married into a lowly household which was also done right by Yu Xiang.
Both of them had a few heart-to-heart words and felt that their relationship had unexpectedly become much closer. After scattering the handful of fish food, Yu Xiang patted her palms and said, âGo and listen then tell me. My chair is bulky. Elder Brother shall hear even before I get close.â
Nodding her head gladly, Yu Si Yu sneaked closer to the main hall and sure enough, both Feng Momo and Ma Momo turned a blind eye to her. Their deterrence was originally not her but rather against Yu Xiang, fearing that the fight inside would expose the origin of both persons and cause her grief.
Lin Shi gave an emotional speech to her son and Old Madam, with two insinuations; firstly was no matter Yu Si Yu was framed or not, she had to marry Fang Zhi Chen hastily then leave the Capital far far away to quell this storm; secondly was Yu Xiangâs murderous and vicious intent against her sisters. After all, she is not of Yu familyâs lineage, hence they should immediately prepare a carriage to send her to the countryside hamlet and disallow to come back in the future.
Yu Pin Yan and Old Madam listened woodenly but Yu Si Yu was blowing her top, she could not wait to charge in and ripped Lin Shi apart. On the day of the incident, she was still moved to tears with gratitude for the support of Lin Shi and Yu Miao Qi but she never expected these two bitches to turn around and stab her ruthlessly. If she is lucky enough to stay this time, she will definitely make them pay the price!
Thinking back, the Achilles heels of Yu Miao Qi is also equivalent to Yu Xiangâs which will be unpleasant to Yu Xiang if it is made public. Struggling for a long while, she finally wiped out the evil thoughts that came to her mind.
