All Hail Cousin Brother

277 Denunciation

goodwill.”

Yu Youyao stared at Yu Jianjia with a burning gaze. “Mother, you’re right. Third Sister was just being kind, so she introduced me to Seventh Miss Cao. Seventh Miss Cao wanted me to recite poetry with her, does this mean I should have considered Third Sister and not rejected her? However, I’m not proficient in poetry, and Third Sister knows about it. In order not to dampen everyone’s spirits, I rejected her politely. I didn’t expect to anger Seventh Miss Cao and for her to criticize me in public.”

Yu Jianjia closed her eyes. Even her breathing was cold. She couldn’t remain silent anymore. “Big Sister, I’m also…”

Yu Youyao continued in a gentle voice, “I know. Third Sister had good intentions. She wanted to calm the matter down because she was worried about me, so I can understand why she apologized to Seventh Miss Cao on my behalf. However, Seventh Miss Cao forced me to recite poetry. It was rude of her to insult me for losing my mother. She was the one in the wrong. Why should Third Sister apologize on my behalf? Why did Third Sister say that I had offended Seventh Miss Cao?”

Old Madam Yu suddenly tightened her grip on her prayer beads when she heard Yao Yao saying that she had good intentions. Even she felt a chill down her spine.

She wasn’t sure if it was out of kindness, but whether a person was kind or not was never measured by the starting point. Instead, it depended on the outcome of this person’s words and actions.

Even if she had done something bad out of kindness, it couldn’t be said that she had done it out of kindness. Cao Yingxue had used the words “bereaved eldest daughter” to attack Yao Yao. Instead of defending her big sister, Yu Jianjia was anxious to apologize on her sister’s behalf.

What kind of apology was this?

Wasn’t she rushing to give Yao Yao’s face, upbringing, and reputation to Cao Yingxue to step on?

Fortunately, Yao Yao was quick-witted. Otherwise, her reputation would have been ruined.

Did her granddaughter not know what was wrong from right or…

Old Madam Yu’s gaze suddenly turned sharp as she stared fixedly at Yu Jianjia.

Sensing the sharp gaze on her head, Yu Jianjia’s heart skipped a beat, and she almost couldn’t breathe. She knew that her grandmother suspected her.

She believed that every move and word of hers in the Marquis of Changxing’s Residence had been carefully planned and flawless. However, she had never expected that it would be ruined by Yu Youyao’s words.

Yu Jianjia panicked and opened her mouth to explain, “Big Sister, I didn’t mean anything else…”

Yu Youyao was still smiling. “Third Sister had good intentions. You’re gentle and kind. As you’re on good terms with Seventh Miss Cao, you can’t bear to see me get into a conflict with her. However, Third Sister has apologized and given Seventh Miss Cao enough face. Have you thought about how I should respond as your eldest sister?”
