Chapter 332: Don’t Say Anything
"She is so old, and she still worries about your affairs so much. Don't you feel guilty in your heart?"

"Lang'er is such a good child, you have left her outside all year round, why do you do everything you can to prevent us and my brother and sister-in-law from seeing her?"

"Why is there such a deep hatred between you and your daughter? How can you just throw her away if she is a little girl? You have such a big Yu Mansion, but you can't even feed Lang'er? I'm not saying anything bad about you, but we can't stand to see all the... shitty things you and your brother-in-law have done over the years."

"Your elder brother and second brother don't care about you, don't you have any idea at all? As parents, you two are probably the only ones in the world who can do this."

Huo Jinxiu was scolded by Cui, and her face turned blue and red.

Yu pretended to cough lightly and did not stop her until Cui finished scolding her. Then she spoke calmly, "There are too many things to do at home today, so it is not convenient to continue entertaining you. Just say whatever you want to say. If it is about Xia Pianpian, please don't say anything."

Huo Jinxiu's eyes turned red in an instant, and she twisted her handkerchief and whispered, "Sister-in-law, why do you treat Pian Pian like this? She is just a child. Even if she did something wrong, can't you be more tolerant of her?"

Cui wanted to curse again...

You ask people to be tolerant towards Xia Pianpian, but why don't you be a little more tolerant towards Lang'er?
Are people so double-standard?

Yu held Cui's hand, smiled and said lightly, "Xia Pianpian has completely angered mother, you don't know yet, aunt. Mother has personally told everyone in the family that from now on, if you bring Xia Pianpian to our house, you will not be allowed in."

"What does Xia Pianpian have to do with our Huo family? If you like her, just keep her on your own. Don't get involved with the Huo family. She doesn't deserve it."

"Sister-in-law, don't you think this is too much?" Huo Jinxiu almost cried out.

She didn't expect that the girl she had raised with such care would be despised by others. She felt so upset.

"Sister-in-law is too much, can she be more excessive than how you treat Lang'er?"

"Lang'er, lang'er, lang'er, did this girl give you some kind of drug?" Mrs. Huo gritted her teeth. "Did you know that she had a birthmark on her face like an evil ghost when she was born? On the day of her birth, there was a strong wind and the sun and moon were dark."

"There is no sun or moon." Cui couldn't help but retort angrily, "You gave birth to her at midnight, how can there be sun? There is no moonlight on a cloudy and rainy day, isn't that normal? You listen to the nonsense of fortune tellers every day, how can a mother like you curse your own children every other day. Evil ghost? How dare you say that!"

Huo Jinxiu stamped her feet and said, "What do you know? Although the ugly birthmark on her face is gradually disappearing, it is not nonsense that she was born to be unlucky for me and the master."

"Since sending her away from the Jade Mansion, the Master has been promoted step by step, and finally became the Governor. Don't you know everything?"

"But since she came back more than three months ago, the whole Yu Mansion has been in turmoil because of her. People are dying here and there all day long. She is a jinx. When the master returned to Beijing to report on his work, he was assigned to the Ministry of Rites as a sinecure. Isn't this a curse on our family?"

"Everything was fine before she came back!"

Cui opened her eyes wide and raised her voice in anger, "You have a preconceived notion! Whenever something bad happens, you think it's Lang'er's fault! Do you have a basis for saying that? Do you know her? She is such a good child, you..."

"I know enough, I don't need you to say more! Second sister-in-law, you don't need to continue arguing with me. If you think she is good, you can take her home and worship her. Just see if she can defeat you in the future. Don't regret it!"

Cui was so angry that she almost exploded. Yu quickly reached out and held her, comforting her softly, "Let her be. Aunt, what are you doing here today? If you are just here to visit your mother, then you can leave now."

"I'm afraid mother doesn't want to see you these days."

When Huo Jinxiu heard Yu's question, she immediately felt regretful. Why did she just quarrel with her second sister-in-law?

It’s all because of that damn girl Yu Linlang, her ghost is everywhere!
She calmed down and forced a smile, "Sister-in-law, of course I came here to ask you something."

Yu raised her eyebrows, and seeing her hesitant attitude as if she wanted to say something, she paused for a moment.

This girl is so confused, what does she want to say?
"That's right... I've asked you to discuss the matter of our Pian Pian and Mr. Lu with Madam Lu more than once before, and you always said that we would discuss it after we return to Beijing. Now that we have been back in Beijing for some time, can I ask for your help again..."

Yu suddenly opened her mouth.

Cui also looked at her sister-in-law in front of her as if she were a madman.

In the past, when my younger sister was at her parents' home, she was brought up innocently and didn't understand the ways of the world. She was young at that time, so everything was easy.

I thought she would make some progress after being married and being the mistress of the house for more than ten years, but I didn't expect...

No wonder the mother-in-law has been worried and crying these days. She must be blaming herself for not being able to teach this girl well and for causing her to develop such a cunning, selfish and weird personality.

"Aunt, you are not kidding my sister-in-law, are you? You asked my sister-in-law to talk to Madam Lu about the marriage proposal? Do you want my sister-in-law to be beaten out of the house by the Lu family?" Cui screamed.

"Do you think you're talking about some random person on the street? That's the son of Minister Lu, the apple of Mrs. Lu's eye. Young Master Lu is a romantic man with a great talent for poetry and prose, and his family background means he has an unlimited future. You're linking him with Xia Pianpian, a notorious woman? Are you crazy?"

"The Lu family is a great family that has produced three prime ministers. Minister Lu has now entered the cabinet. Do you know what the cabinet is? Minister Lu is now a true minister close to the emperor."

"You want to kill our Huo family?" Cui said in disbelief. "Do you know how many noble ladies in the capital admire Mr. Lu? The legitimate daughter of Minister Gong of the Ministry of Justice is one of them. Can your adopted daughter be more noble than Miss Gong?"

"You, you are simply! Your brain is stuck in the door!" Cui cursed angrily, "Little aunt, stop daydreaming. Don't say that your Xia Pianpian was not worthy of Mr. Lu before her reputation was ruined. What's more, now that you have fallen into disgrace, why would you covet the legitimate son of the Lu family?"

"Give up this idea immediately. Madam Lu is very protective of her son! If she finds out that you are planning to harm her precious son, you will be dead!"

Yu pressed the corners of her lips with a handkerchief and suppressed her smile.

I told you that you must bring your second brother and sister-in-law to the scene of the quarrel. Sure enough, the second brother and sister-in-law yelled at her and made her feel relieved...

"Aunt, don't blame your second sister-in-law for her harsh words. She is just straightforward. I'm not saying anything bad about you. Even if you want to meet a wonderful person like Mr. Lu, you should meet a real noble lady from our Huo family. Don't bring up your adopted daughter."
